His presence IL the building had be-
come known, and as soon as he vas
seen, cheers rent the air from the
clerks who haG assembled to catch
glimpse of the hero of Santiago. The
officers and clerks from the Navy, State
and War Departments, crowded the
corridors leading up to the Navy De-
partment, until it was impossible 10
pass through. They crowded around
the admiral, eagerly reaching forward
to shake his hand. The lady clerks
were even more demonstrative, and
the admiral was kissed by old and
young, without discrimination. 1t
was finally necessary to form line
and pass the crowd around through b
the large rooms of the Secretary S
office, in order to give them chance
to shake hands with the admiral. Many
prominent army officers took part IN

NiIheim's Jerusalem Trip.

Considerable alarm is manifested in
political and court circles, not only In
Germany but also abroad, with regard
to the influence which Emperor Vii
Iiam's approaching visit to the Holy
Land is likely to have on his mind and
future conduct. Not only has he ad-
dressed inFitations to all the Protes-
tant rulers of Germany to make the
pilgrimage to the Holy Land in his
train, or else to send some Prince of
their house in their place, but he has
likewise invited representatives OF the
Evangelical and Protestant churches OF
the non -Prussian- German States, and
of Austria, as we'll as of Hungary, to
accompany him. Indeed, it is estl-
mated that there will be at least 25O
members of the Protestant clergy pres
ent at Jerusalem as the guests Of the
Emperor during his soiourn IN the Holy

GOOD ROADS NOTES.
letter Public Roads Needed

Some well-informed authority on
the subject of public roads states that
there are 100000 miles of public
roads in the United States, over which
the aggregate amount of 500, 100000
tons OF freight is hauled annually.
Estimating the average distance
over which freight is thus hauled
from the farm to the depot at eight.
miles, it is figured that the total cost
Of hauling freight annually over the
public roads in the United States is
81, 900, 900, 900, or 81 per ton.
With uniformly good public roads
it is claimed that the cost of hauling
freight from the farm to the depot,
ought not to be more than $400, ,000,-
900, or 5000, 900, 900 less than what it,
is at present. This difference is
strongly emphasized by the authority
from whom we quote when he states,
that it is equivalent to the yearly in,
terest on $4,000, 100000 OF three per,
cent. Government bonds, and adds,
that with only one-half Of this almost
inconceivably vast amount every pub
lie road in the United States could be
rebuilt. :.
There is food for serious thought in
the figures which are thus given. Pub
lie roads are the arteries of the nation
just as much as are the railway sys-,
tens, and the prosperity of the nation
must necessarily depend, in large
measure, upon the manner in which it
cares for its public roads. One Of the
greatest sources of strength which the,
old Roman empire possessed was de-
rived from its magnificent public roads,
many of which are as well preserved,
to-day almost as they were in the time
of the Caesars. European travellers at
the present time state that Germany,
is indebted to her public roads more
than to anything else for much Of the
imperial stability which to-day belongs
to her.
While the penalty Of bad public roads
is visited primarily upon the farmer,
1t affects ultimately every industrial,
commercial and agricultural interest
of the nation. In the North and East
the public roads are in fairly good con-
dition, but in tine South and West they
are in extremely bad condition, and
steps must speedily be taken to over
come this evil if either section expects
to make the most of its possibilities

A Madrid cable to the New York Sun
says: The rage for public amusements
throughout the country, eliminating

from the press and higher clergy. The
bishop of Taragona has issued pas
toral in which he reproaches his flock

" ar on the FriarS.

The Philippine Islands committee in
Europe has addressed letter to Presi-
Sent Mckinley regarding the appeals
made to him by high Roman Catholic
ecclesiastics in America, to protect the
religious orders in the islands. The
expulsion Of the friars, the committee
contends, is "a necessary antecedent
to moral sanitation. The committee
urges President Mckinley to laid the
FiIipinos to suppress the immortality of
the diabolical institutions fostered by
these monks, and the letter concludes
as follows: Your name can never be
associated with that of the friars; and

at whose head you are placed will never

A Field For Agitation.

Highway agitation seems to be sadly
needed in Lawrence, Kan. The Jour-
nal of that city, in recent issue, says
that 'there is no country road leading,
to the city but is in better condition.
than the best street on the south side.
The worst street of all is Massachu-,
setts, and on it the city has done no
work through the park i'll years, save
to drag the scraper through it OCCASION
ally. Through that park road the mud
has been from one to three feet deep,
and loaded wagon could not go
through it. This on a street within
block of the business portion of the
town, and on a street travelled neces-.
sarily by large number of people, is
a shame and disgrace to any city or
community that claims to be civilized.
We pay out thousands of dollars year
in charities to people who are able to
work, and who should be made to
work, and if they were put on the roads
the amount given them each year would
keep some of the streets, at least, in
good condition. 1t is time something
practical was done. Almost half
century has come and gone since Law
renee was settled, and to-day the roads
and streets are in far worse condition
than when the first settler came"

LEANINGS OF The MEM BERs.
A Majority, Composed of Sepators Davis
and Frye and whitelaw Reid, Are Be-
lieved to BE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
Justice White Not known-Judge
Days Conservatism.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special.)-The Cabi-
net is devotipg a large share OF the time to
matters which will come before the Peace
Commission At the adjournment OF the
last meeting Secretary Day announced that
four members ofthe commission had been
sclected-Secretary Day, Supreme Court
Justice White, Senators Davis and Frye
and Whitelaw Reid.
There was some doubt about, the accep-
tance by Justice White OF a place on the
commission, as he feared that his duties on
the bench would force him to decline the
Presidents offer.
Secretary Day finally announced that
Justice White OF tie supreme Court had
accepted Commissionership; that all now
have accepted, and that the Peace Com
mission stands completed, rs follows:
William r. Day, OF Ohio, Secretary Of
State.
Cushman X. Davis, of Minnesota, United
States Senator.
william P. Frye, OF Maine, United States
Senator.
Whitelaw Reid, OF New York.
Edward D. White. OF Louisiana, Asso-
ciate Justice Of the United States Supreme
Court
Three of the members of the Commission,
Senator Davis, Senator Frye and Mr.. Reid
are strongly In favor OF holding all OF the
Philippines. Secretary Of State Day holds
to the view that Manila City, bay and har-
Dor are enough for the United States to
take. 1t is said, though, that he is o oen to
conviction and will be guided In his con-
clusions by what may appear best fer the
country.
The views OF Justice White on the Ihilip-
pine question ara not definitely knoWn. 1t
is said by some of his friends that he will
favor holding all territory over which the
flag floats. He will be valuable member
OF the Commission. since he speaks Spanish
fuently, and Is familiar with Spanish laws
which govern in the islands.

The Movement q California.

The good roads movement is get
ting a strong hold in old Sonoma
County, which is becoming one of the
most progressive counties in the State.
The live people there are opposed to
building any more wooden bridges and
are in favor of iron-stone culverts and
fills where possible, and iron or stone
bridges where there must be bridges.
They favor putting the roads in charge
of the county surveyor, sprinkling the
roads thoroughly and enforcing the
wide-tire law. They are divided in
opinion about issuing bonds, but seem
to be agreed that the cities should help
build the country roads on account of .
the benefit of the trade which they
bring. g.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Steam Wagons For Heavy Loads.

London Engineering describes the
recent trial of steam wagons to carry!
heavy loads on ordinary thorough
fares as encouraging, though the
matter still requires much study and
experiment. At one of the trials the,
loads carried by the different wagons,
varied from two to five tons, and the
conditions of the test were that the,
vehicles should be able to 60 any
where that similar ones drawn by,
horses could go. The test was
moderately we'll sustained, and it was
demonstrated that there were no
obstacles to the ultimate practical
success of the employment of steam
wagons on common roads, but that
general improvement of the latter
would have a good deal to do with it.
