A Collision Case.

Yachtsmen will be interested in de-
cision which has been given by Judge
Lowell of Boston in the case of H. W.
Spur, owner of the schooner yacht Pris-
ella VS.. the schooner yacht Silvie, in
which he awards libellant one half the
damages, which will be determined later
The Priscilla was run down by the Silvie
off the n. Y. & N. E. r. R. docks July 20,
1897. In his opinion Judge Lowell
says:
''The Silvie had got under way and was
close hauled on the starboard tack. The
Priscilla was getting under way on the
same tack. Her anchor just rested On
the bottom, or had been just raised from
it. The place was very crowded anchor
age, and the utmost caution was required
of any vessel attempting to man9uvre
''Those on board the Silvie should have
noticed that the Priscilla was getting
under way, and should have recognized
that the movements of vessel in the
circumstances of the Priscilla are un-
certain, and in some degree beyond the
control of her captain. The careessness
of the Silvie's crew was, in my opinion,
an efficient cause of the collision
''On the other hand the captain of the
Priscilla should have recognized that his
quick working yacht, in getting under
way with her jib hauled aweather, was
likely to sheer suddenly, and considerably
to leeward just before, or just at the time
her anchor left the bottom This sheer,
probably increased by light squat, the
approach of which the captain of vessel
getting under way should have observed
brought the Priscilla across the Silvie's
course before the former was fairly under
control.
Had the Priscilla's captain, before
hauling his jib aweather looked behind
him, the collision would not have happen
ed, and | think the captain OF vessel
getting under way in a crowded anchor
age is bound to look behind as well as
before

Vast Prof misses in The Air.

The reported success Of an experiment
er in making liz aid air by the barrel sug-
gests not few hopes as well as warnings
to those interested.
AS there is more refrigeration stored
away in a thin oleful of liquid air than
in a whole ice cart, a few barrels Of LIQUID
air would wipe out a whole ice monopoly,
and a small sizeo liquid air factory could
freeze out whole ice trust within a
hours.
\ small bottle of liquid air placed in
ones sleeping room produces the most
delightful GOODNESS. Placed in a railway
car, travel in summer becomes delicious.
For cooling private houses and places
where people congregate in summer its
merits would prove invaluable, while in
hospitals, where yellow fever and other
bacterial diseases are found it would
create an atmosphere absolutely free from
germs
All this does not take into account the
extent to which liquid air can be utilized
in the storage of power for mechanical
purposes and locomotion. A good deal
OF trouble was experienced at first in rs
ing air, still in a gaseous from, reduced to
1-l40th of its normal volume, and having
a pressure of 1000 pounds to an inch.
Liquid air occupies only an S0Oth part of
the space that the gas does in its ordinary
state, and exerts no pressure at all until
the instant of its evaporation.
1t remains to be seen whether the force
SO rapidly. exerted can be adequately con-
trolled. If SO, who can tell what the
coming century may have in store as a

washington, October 1.-S0on after
congress meets steps will be taken to
repeal certain portions OF the war
revenue act so as to reduce taxation
to peace basis. The understanding
at present is that there will be care

moved, and not general repeal.
Leaders OF both parties agreed when
the act was passed that In case peace
was effected In the meanwhile an i'm
mediate attempt should be made To
reduce taxation.
1t is believed that the first to go
will be the special taxes paid by bank

URGES ENLARGED oomMERCu,
Arguments Of Postmaster General
Smith I'm Favor Of Expansion.

Omaha, October 5.-The feature of
pennsylvania day, which in itself was
grand success at the exposition
grounds today. was the speech Of Post
master General Charles Emory Smith
as the orator OF the day. His theme
was The War and Its Fruits" and
tne burden OF his argument was for
territorial expansion. not for the sake
OF the possession of mere territory,
out In support of the commercial
growth or the nation. He said I'm part:
This war has opened new career,
AND we 5Oyfully turn from Its thrilling
Drama to the granduer OF the peaceful
mission which II ushers in. We have
stepped out on the broad stage of the
worlds action; we have advanced from
continental dominion to world infiu-
ence; we have moved out of the isola-
ton OF n great but still limited and
ELECTROMAGNETIC sphere into the large
arena OF the worlds activities; and IL
In this department there are the risks
and possibilities which attend all hui
man progressive enterprise there are
also necessities and obligations from
which we cannot shrink and opportun-
tiles and glories which beckOn us on
ward.
Equal toeevery crisis in the past, we
shall deal with this new emergency In
the true American spirit. 1t makes us
responsible for Cuba. 1t gives us
Porto Rico. 1t plants our outpost on
the farther side Of the globe. What
ever we hold, whether 1t be more or
less, will be held not for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. but solely in accept
ance OF responsibilities which provi-
dence has laid upon us. Men lightly
talk OF imperialism" Our imperial
ism is not territorial lust. but benig-
nant trade expansion and civilizing In
fuence, and our flag is at Manila, not
in any spirit of spOIiation, not in either
the greed or the glory of conquest,
but. let 1t be reverently said, under the
controlling force Of providential
guidance. at the ripe hour in the de-
velopment and requirements of our
natural growth.
1t Is treated In many quarters simply
as a question Of territorial expansion,
but that is a secondary and incidental
consideration. The great and over
shadowing question is one Of CONNER
cial openings. The heart of the issue
Is not mere territory, but trade neces-
stiles and facilities. Beyond and be-
hind and beneath this departure lies
the broad problem of Americas destiny
In the commerce and civilization of the
world. Our growth has been so mar
velous that we need new opportunities,
and our fate Is so happy that the OPP
pOrtunities are here for our taking.
Our need today. like that of 100 years
ago, Is for commercial outlets, and 1t
is for the descendants Of our fathers to
rise to our occasion and duty as our
fathers rose to theirs.

Investigating an Army "Outrnge."

Editors who have been publishing
stories of army mismanagement and
Outrages perpetrated upon the troops
have been invited by the commission
of inquiry to testify before that body
and supply 1t with any information
they may have concerning the derelic-
ton of officials or the i'll treatment Of
troops.
Apropos of this the following story
Of an army outrage was published af-
ter the arrival Of the troops at Mon
tauk Point:
One of the fever patients in the hos
pital, who had fallen into a cOmatOse
condition, was pronounced dead by an
incompetent medical officer. The re-
mains were hustled into pine box
without a covering, which with others
containing dead the bodies of fever
victims was placed outside the hos
pital tent and exposed for hours to
the broiling sun.
The agony of the supposed dead man
was eXcruciating. He realized that
he was about to be buried alive in the
shallow trench which had been dug
to receive the bodies Of those who had
no relatives to claim them. After en-
during mental and physical torture for
hours some soldiers came to move the
box in which he lay. BY supreme eff
fort he managed TO slightly raise an
arm and move his fingers. The sol
diers saw the motion. and instead of
carrying him to the trench they took
him to the hospital tent and dumped
him on the ground, where he lay for
hours without attention, and finally
died, a victim Of neglect.
When the authorities at Washington
read this story their Indignation was
aroused to n high pitch and an inves-
tigation was begun Immediately.
Inquiry at the hospital revealed the
fact that no soldier by the name given
In the story had died ut the hospital
but that such q man was patient who
was rapidly convalescing.
The reporter was questioned and
said soldier had told him the story
as he had written 1t, and gave the au-
thorities the name of his informant
Before ordering court-martial,
which was practically decided upon,
the investigating officer sent for the
soldier and asked him why he had cir
culated such an outrageous falsehoOd.
The man admitted that he had told
the story to the reporter, but added he
had also told the reporter that lie had
dreamt 1t.
Thus ended the investigation of one
of the most horrible outrages OF the
war.-Chicago Times-Herald.

wheeler Refutes the Charges.

General Joseph Wheeler's testimony
before the war inquiry commission is a
pretty general refutation of all the
more serious charges under investiga-
ton.
1t deals specifically and in detail
with conditions at the two places
Santiago and Montauk-where the
troops are alleged to have undergone
the greatest hardships and suffering
by reason Of the incompetence and
neglect Of war officials.
In substance General Wheeler's tes-
0mOny was as follows:
At San:iago-Except In few In
stances supplies were adequate. On
several occasions this was due to the
fact that the men going into action
threw away their rations three days
supply and did not recover them.
The wounded were promptly cared
for.
Only once was there a lack Of sur
geons. occasioned by the Illness Of the
surgeons themselves.
The men slept on the ground instead
Of In tents. because the tents had been
left on the transports so that no time
would be lost in removing them.
troops was due entirely to the climate
and to necessary exposure In the
trenches. And to the further fact that
many of the volunteers did not know
how to take care Of themselves.
All complaints were promptly RENE

The plan of campaign could not be
improved upon.

pitfalls. Scarcity of nurses at first. but

This Is the testimony Of a soldier
q volunteer general. who previously had
been through four years war. 1t Is
the testimony of man who belongs
10 the party from whose members
most of the charges OF Acknowledgement
have emanated.
That the people who know General
Wheeler best have unlimited conf
dence I'm him is shown by the fact that
ALI parties i'm his district have united
to honor him with n unanimous re-
election to congress.
In the face Of such testimony the
sensational charges Of a sensational
press and designing politicians can
not stand.

II Make, the difference.

The st. Louis GlObe-Democrat
makes this splendid point: IF Spain
had only stopped to think that there
are in this country 240,69S public
school houses and 14,465.370 children
In the public schools, It would have
chosen some other antagonist. The
difference In the men behind the guns
began in the school rooms" That
does make the difference. Sixty
eight per cent Of Spaln's people cannot
read; those who can have hcen
brought up under the shadow Of
church rule and klngly rule, and very
many are but grown-up children.
Here every child Is q little sovereign.
and when grown II his country calls
he enters the army, and Is In a little
way a general. There Is not another
thing on earth that compares with
free public school for starting men on
a path of light for life. Could Spain
shake off enough of her superstitiOns
and cruelties to establish free schools
and keep them running for genera
ton, she might still be redeemed.
And the states which have the best
school systems give the largest Re-
publican maiorities. Is II not so?
