They stated that the president made a
frank declaration as TO what was talk

peace" The impression left with the

In sttictest confidence Mr. Mckinley

letween washington and Madrid. He

sionate outburst of oratory on the Gu

CHICAGO, April IA telegram re-
ceived here from Adrian, Mich. says
that Steve Brodie died on a train at
that place yesterday. He left here for
the east suffering from congestion of
the lungs When he attempted to sing
daring the performance Wednesday, he
was Kissed by the audience, which be-
lieved him intoxicated, though he de-
ciared ne was very i'll at the time.
Brodie had been ailing for several
days and resigned from Gus IInPs Nov
city company to seek relief at home. He
was starring with Hills company in a
sketch called zone Night In Brodie's
Barroom."
sunday Brodie came to the box Office
of the playhouse, where, besides the
manager a number Of the players were
sitting
How arc you feeling?" asked Man
ger Barry, with a smile.
Not so well, BILL" he replied. Il
think / get my finish right here with
YOU. old man. When 1 go back to New
York. 1t win be in box. I got a cold
about a week ago. and it sticks to me-"
Barry and his friends laughed to hear
ne healthy looking athlete talk Of
death, but Brodie's forebodings seemed
10 be rooted, and he thlked of death
with a firm conviction that he had not
ong to live.
steve Brodie's rise into prominence
came with a jump from the East river
bridge on July 20. 1886. He struck the
water on that occasion a Fourth ward
newsboy and wharf rat and rose to the
surface prize for dime museum man
gers and the hero Of the east side.
He gravitated into the saloon bust
ness in the Bowery. He moved ahead
rapidly. Following the first great jump.
which set the fashion for half the cranks
IN the country, he married Gertie Lord,
after he had abducted her in a sensa-
tional manner.
Brodie said he leaped from the Pough-
keepsie bridge on Nov. 3, 1898. and in
/ the same year frightened his hold on the
| admiration OF the Bowery by swimming
| from Albany to New York. In the fol-
! lowing year he leaped over Passaic
falls, and afterward over the Pawtuck-
et falls. coming out Of each undertaking

Then followed his loudly heralded

WANTED TO KNOW THE FUTURE,

Several years ago certain gentle man of Kentucky had purchased a new thermom It was placed on his back porch, and during a cold spell in January the colonel made frequent visits to the instrument.
 Upon one of these visits he found his old negro coachran, Isaac, eyeing the thermometer win a puzzled ex- pression on his ebony features.
 What an dat, bcss?" he asked.
 That's a thermonl ster, Isaac" ans wered the colonel.
 .Er-whut am hit fur?' Isaa: again asked.

 The old negro st5l1ied few minutes and then in a trou11ed manner said:

THE NEW EMPHASIZES.

The questions which relate to the new battleships should be carefully considered. The two Russian vessels of that type which the Messrs. Cramp are to construct are slightly larger than those ordered by congress and
 two knots faster It is obvious that they will possess distinct advantages over our own ships or the same class. They will carry more guns and steam farther and faster on demand. The ar gument there presented in favor of making the American craft at least as speedy as these rival fighters is a strong one, and it should be convincing. It is only fitting, also. to remember that other naval powers besides the czar's government are building fast battleships. Japan will shortly have five or six, all of seventeen or more

THE POPE'S CONDITION.

News from the Vatican still gives no support to the reports that the pope is very ill. But all Rome is said to be satisfied that Leo XIII cannot live much longer and may die, practically without warning, at any time. The Roman version of his condition is probably the trruer. If it is accepted as such, the certainty of a great sensa- tion in the course of few months is before the world Possibly the i'm pending assaults of the Carlists upon the present Spanish dynasty do no. mean so much to Europe as the death or Leo will. Owing to many circum- stances, the Vatican will enter upon perhaps a more remarkable period with the choice of his successor than it has experienced since the days of Plus TX. It pursues a more modern policy today than it did during the years when the 'imprisonment" was supposed to be the enc thought in the papal diplomacy. Will Leo's success scr continue this work in his wise fashion? The answer to this question hangs upon the unknown personality of the new pope. Cardinal Rampolla, who is clever politician and a stron g statesman, is said to be frequently mentioned for the seat. Nothing tame in the way of diplomacy or policy will be looked for from him.

A CASE OF ovERPRODUCTIoN.

The eager desire of Americans to obtain information is cnly eGualled by their eager desire to impart it. The amount of printed mattsr on subjec $ connected with the war is beyond cal culation. The columns on columns CT news in the daily press do not begin to include it all, though these have ap- parently left few points uncovered. IL might seem, indeed, as if anything We did not know already could be hardly worth knowing; yet day after day fresh stories of this CT that episode in cam paign or battle are told; and of re- ports and rumors of every conceivable kind We still have an abundant supply. giving to the war may be more justly estimated, perhaps, by the contents of the weekly papers and magazines. War news in the daily press is part of the regular routine, after all. In publica- tions devoted to litera .ure, art, science or religion it may fairly be regarded as supplementary; and the fact that there should be much of it is sufi- ciently striking When the religious pa pers, for example, appear with maps of Cuba and the Philippines and DOT traits of Admiral Sampson and Ad- miral Dewey, then it is a foregone con- clusion that our interest in-the conflict is intense enough to be called craze. Indeed, there is good ground for sus- pecting that some persons not 1leces- sarily unpatriotic, would be glad to see little less eagerness to exploit "a conflict, which, whatever its magnitude and importance, has not entirely mo- nopolized the energies or the intellect of the American people
 So few of us really know anything about the countries the United States Is now conquering, however, that the prodigious store of information thus suddenly put forth is really little short of marvellous. IL might have been sup posed that the weekly papers and mag azines, at all events, would find it diff ficult, in the absence of the special fa- cilities enjoyed by the daily press, to fill their pages with fresh and timely matter on the questions brought into prominence by the war. This, appar- ently, is not the case. A certain New York publisher complains already of an embarrassment of riches we are pitching scores of manuscripts on Ha- waii and the Philippines out of our office every day. he says. Other houses are deluged in the same way, they tell me-" This sounds incredi- ble; but we do not doubt that it is true. The fields are white with har- vest and the laborers are not few but many. How large proportion of our population write for the public prints we have 10 means of knowing; but the number is large. If most of them write now Of the pursuits Of war, no wonder that the publishers, who at first welcomed their manuscripts with avidity, are beginning to feel discour- aged. Too much competition will ruin any business.
 Our writers will do well, then, to let up little on the war, and turn once more to peaceful themes
 It is not at all surprising that even American curiosity to know all there is to know cannot keep up with such prodigious industry.

knots, and it is noteworthy that the same country will also have al equal number of armored cruisers as heavy as the larger of our two the Brooklyn, and fully as fast, the. requirements bs- ing twenty-one knots. If, af.er Japan commissions it's new navy, it should not side with England in eastern com plications, the United S,a.as and Great Britain together would not be any too strong to protect their interests in the Pacific.
