We sincerely hope it is not true that
the grand jury in Columbus, Ohio is pre-
pairing to indict Mark Hanna for bribery
in procuring his election to the Senate.
AT such time as the present such
movement might look like persecution,
and if it were persisted in very bad
precedent would be established We do
not see anything useful to be gained by
singing Hanna out for such discipline.
There is not leading officer in the party
in power who does not, directly or indi-
rectly, owe his present position to bribery,
fraud, intimidation of voters. or all three.
1t would be better for the people to brace
up and turn the whole crew out at the
earliest opportunity than to be content
with the punishment of one individual.
who is not nearly as dangerous to the
country as he was a year ago.

The Chinese minister has been inter-
viewed by a New York newspaper and
very naturally, at this time, devotes his
abilities to praise of the empress dow
ager. Mr.. WI Ting Fang, among other
things, is able to furnish the lady with
distinguished antecedents, something for
which we fancy she is entirely indebted
TO him. AS matter of fact she came
into the palace grounds practically a
servant and a slave, and made her way
by her own abilities. But 1t would not
be safe for any Chinaman TO tell that
story at this stage of the proceedings.

There is some trouble in store for the
Canadian government. 1t was induced to
submit the question of prohibition to a
popular vote, in full confidence that there
would be heavy majority against it,
This was reasonable. for there is hardly
a doubt that with a full vote the oppo-
nents of prohibition would win. What 1t
did not count was the over-confidence
of the majority and the intense zeal oil
the prohibitionists. In the districts where
people drink and favor personal liberty,
the vote was light and in the others 1t
was unusually heavy. The result is near
ly twenty thousand majority for prohibi-
tion. This vote cannot be ignored. yet
prohibition would ALLEVIATE the people on
whose votes the present government de-
pends. 1t is probable some system of To-
cal option will be proposed. In any event
there will be no end of trouble.

Three Democratic Princes.

Three democratic princes are the sons
OF King George of Greece. They are
as popular with the common people as
they are in court circles, and their
broad principles often bring them in
direct contact with the most humble
of their subjects. All three of the
royal brothers took a great interest in
the recent Olympian games, lending a
helping and in the arrangements and
expressing their willingness to assist
as starters, Dr. in n other capacity
the occasion might require.
Several interesting anecdotes Of the
princes are related by the returning
contestants in the games held in mod
ern Hellas. Previous to the hurdle
race, won by Conolly, the American,
the latter used his red sweater to
mark the spot he was to make his run
from.
Prince George, who stood near by,
thinking this an unfair advantage,
picked up the sweater and threw it
from the track. Connolly, not knowing
the prince, resented this act, and, slap
ping him on the shoulder, exclaimed:
Say, bring back that sweater, young
fellow. I need it,"
After considerable argument as to
just why Mr.. Connolly needed it, the
prince showed his good humor by going
for and replacing the garment just
! where the American athlete wanted it.
Another of the races was won by
Louis Amarussi, a young Greek peas
ant. AS the victor reached the home
stretch in the lead of his opponents
both Prince Constantine and Prince
George, with drawn sabres, ran on
either side of the man and finished the
race with him. The spectacle of the
two princes abreast with a peasant
created great enthusiasm and won the
hearts Of the Grecian spectators.

500 Bullets to XIII One Man.

It is, perhaps, little consolation to
men who are going into battle to know
that of every 500 bullets which they
must face only one or two will result
in death. The fact, however, is elo-
quent of an immense waste of ammuni-
ton and want of care or skill in fir
ing.
OF the IS, 900, 900 bullets fired by the
Russians during the Crimean war, A.
$50, 900 failed to fulfill their errand Of
death, n WERE, for practical purposes
Of destruction, wasted. The remaining
as, 900 alone, which could have easily
been fired by a single regiment within
the space Of an hour, found their bit
let. This means that $40 bullets were
fired before a single soldier Of the
allied troops was killed.
The British in the same war were
more fortunate in their aim. Of Is, OOO,-
900 bullets fired, 21,0O0 were fatal; one
bullet out of every 700 fired thus ac-
counting for one Russian.
The French soldiers, it is estimated,
fired %, 1000, 900 bullets, which resulted
in the death of 81, 900 Russians, or at
the rate of one fatal bullet to every $50
shots fired.
During the Franco-German war, says
Tit-Bits, the German artillery fired 340,-
600 shots, and the infantry $1,000, 900.
This terrible hail of lot and bullets,
sufficient to exterminate a nation, re-
suited in a loss Of $4,000 men to the
French. Thus every Frenchman killed
involved an expenditure of bullets
enough to kill a quarter of a regiment.

were to be saved, so a portion Of the
food vas tossed overheard. Threaten
ings Of a torn showed them one more
danger. 1t seemed as If they had left
a prison to find death.
But the mere fact that their own eff
forts were aiding them to reach a port
of safety heartened the almost despair,
ing men. Shifts were arranged at the
oars and not a minute Of rest was in
dulged in. Hundreds Of miles inter-
vened between them and the nearest
land, and it behooved them to spare
no effort. But it was killing work
after the months of %privation and hor-
ror and their progress was slow But
help was not far away. On the morn
ing Of the seventh day a sail was sight
ed and the crew was picked up finally
and carried to Porto Rico.
Captain Andreason, then old enough
to begin to think of retirement, was so
wrought up over his adventure that he
abandoned the sea. He returned to his
Copenhagen home and never afterward
put to sea as skipper or member of a
crew. His son lives in Seattle, Wash,
and in his old age he came to this
country to visit his boy. He passed
through Chicago recently and visited
Captain James L. Wood. To his old
friend n former shipmate he told
the story of the loss of the Narka in
the Sargasso sea.
