WAR KEEPS MONEY AT HOME

This Season.

Charles Alvin Gillig, of the "Ameri-
can Rendezvous" in Cockspur street,
who has been for 20 years in the bust
ness OF taking care of travellers from
the United States in London, has made
an estimate of the loss which the war
has entailed upon England in keeping
the American tourists at home. He has
reason to believe, he says, that this
years. season would have been an i'm
provement upon that of last year in the
way of travel, and that grand total of
$4,000 Americans would have visited
Europe this spring and summer had it
not been for the war. His estimate,
based upon the carrying capacity of the
steamships and upon figures furnished
by the companies, is as follows

Prof. schuster Calls Attention 10
Queer Condolences with
Sum Rotation.

A number Of Investigations have been
made on the connection of various ter
restrial phenomena with the period of
rotation of the sun, but the results OBJ
tanned have not been definite enough to
establish the reality of 26-day period
of meteorological phenomena.
Inconnectionwith this question Prof.
Arthur Schuster subjects the methods
of finding hidden periodicities-small
periodic variations hidden behind ir-
regular fuctuations--to vigorous anal.
ysis In Terrestrial Magnetism
(March), with the object of introduc-
ing a little more scientific precision into
the treatment Of problems involving
hidden periodicities, and of applying the
theory of probability in such way as
to assign a definite number for the
probability that the effects found by
means Of the usual methods are real,
and not due to accidental circumstances.
The methods described show the lines
which Investigations on the periodicity
of phenomena should follow, and point
to several interesting subjects to which
they may profitably be applied. AS to
results already published, Prof. Schus-
ter concludes:
THE general result Of critical ex-
animation of the published inyestiga-
tions on the 26-day period leads me to
think that, although the magnetic ele-
ments and the occurrence Of thunder
storms seem to be affected by period
Of 20 days and of it's first multiple, the
subject requires good deal Of fur
ther study before we can be sure as to
the exact nature Of the period. Even
though 1t may be considered as proved,
it must not be necessarily assumed that

question merely Of magnetic disturb
ances, there does not seem to be any

periodicity may be connected with the

A CONTEMPORARY TURNS I'M
PERIALIST

The Tribune in it's issue Of yester-
day said:
Our morning contemporary seems to
be Mortified at the idea of this country
retaining the Philippines. Surely the
phantom of imperialism" is not dis
turbing its. rest. 1t would hardly do
to leave the gallant insurgents who
have fought so CALAMITY for them
selVes-and for uS-to the deadly hate
of Spain. And then, think of the bril-
liant future of the commerce of the
Pacific, with its waters practically an
American sea! An imperial crown of
trade ond development is offered us
just now in the Pacific. compared with
which the "kingly crown" thrice Of
fered to Caesar was but a bauble. And
yet think of the fate of the man who
refused it!
Our contemporary seems to be
branching out as an 'imperialist." The
Herald does not believe in an i'm
perial" policy for this government, and
so far as the permanent retention of
the Philippines is concerned the objec-
lions to such a policy are very well set
forth in the following article:
A dispatch tells us that Senators
Lodge ard German both favor hold
ing the Philippines permanently to
swell our trade in the southeastern Pa
cific. Both senators voted, we believe,
for the declaration to the world that
this war was to free Cuba and was
not TO be a war Of conquest. That
pledge was as solemn as any pledge
that great nation can give, and it
must be kept. To us the Philippines
would be the biggest elephant ever
won in a rattle, or ever caught in a
jungle; we need a coalinS station there,
we need to hold the islands for little
while until the final settlements for
the war can be made, but that is all.
Cuba and Porto Rico viii give us
trouble enough, and they are close by
our doors. We are bound to free them,
restore order there, and give the in
dustries of those islands resuscitation,
and then permit the people to choose
by fair vote and honest count the
form of government that they desire.
If they should vote for annexation to
the United States, we do not see how
we could refuse their request. but it
would be better for them to organize
a little republic of their own, or even
an elective monarchy, for the islands
will need a firm and just rule for a
good many years to come-just such
a rule as Diaz is giving Mexico.
But the ruling race in the Philippines,
at least outside of the city of Manila,
are Malays. and in the islands out
side of Luzen are mostly Mohammed-
ans. Putting aside every other ques-
tons. waving all promises and obli-
cations, and considering the matter
purely from 4 governmental stand
point, what form Of government. not
entirely antagonistic to the principles
en- which our government is founded,
could we organize there? It would be
a simple question for Great Britain, or
Japan, or for Germany which, we be-
ieve, has the most important property

HAVE SEEN a LIGHT.

The "non-partisan" members of the
city council still stand in solid phalanx
fer gold bonds.
There is no longer the slightest doubt
concerning the relationship existing be-
tween the oddities and the non-partisan
movement. 1t was a cunning device
adopted for the purpose of making an
inroad upon the cause of silver.
Had two or three more comparisons
been elected TO the city council last
fall, the municipality would have been
saddled and cinched with gold demand
ing bonds
Every non-partisan continues to vote
for the gold clause in the face of an
exposure which has shamed two of the
so-called silver Republicans back into
The lawful money ranks, where the
Democrats have stood from the first
Robertson still insists that no bo2ds
knows that it has been done right
here in Salt Lake during the time he
has been disputing it's possibility. Nor
has Councilman Robertson told an in
terested public where he gets his finan-
cial information, what goldbug or non
partisan money lender he consults in
regard to the sale of city bo2ds.
Councilman Diehl has very wisely
taken a back track. He has discovered
his error. He has ascertained that
lawful money bonds may be sold. He
has learned that partisan" infor-
nation on money matters is as I'M
reliable as that which is furnished by
gCldbugs.
Councilman Buckle has also seen a
great light The scales have fallen. at
least temporarily, from his eyes.
1t was really amusing to see the
scramble of these two gentlemen to
reverse themselves and get in line with
the Democrats.
There may be lesson in all of this
for the state loan agents who fixed up
gold boads the other day, and were
only estonped from selling them by
demanding that the word
gold" be stricken out, and the WORDS
lawful money" inserted.

THE cR1sroBAL co1oN,s SPEED.

Admiral Sampson in his official report
on the destruction of Cervera's fleet
| Gt is an excellent document and in the
best of taste in all respects) says that
from the moment the CristobaI Colon
exhausted her first burst of speed the
result was never in doubt; that she
FELL in fact, far below what might rea-
sonably have been expected of her:
/ that careful measurements of time and
distance gave her an average speed,
! from the time she cleared the harbor
mouth until the time she was run
ashore at Tarquino, of 1871 knots.
This is astonishing. The Cristobal
Colon was known to be the fastest yes
sci in Cervera's fleet, and she was
credited with a speed greater than
that possessed by any boat in the Am
erican fleet. She made great burst
of speed at first, and why was it that
she was una be to keep it up? Was it
owing to defects in machinery, lack of
coal or incompetent engineers? Per-
haps none of these questions will ever
be answered. The truth is that the
Spaniards at no time seem to have
been masters of their ships or their ar
maments: on the contrary, they seem
to have been oppressed with the re-
sponsibility for these great navigating
and fighting machines.
Had the speed of the Cristobal Colon
been what it was reputed to be, she
would have got away in all probability.
The one vessel at Santiago that seems
to have more than fulfilled expectations
was the Oregon. In her chase after the
Colon she nearly. if not quite, attained
and maintained the speed she made
when given her trial And this after
having Travelled not less than 10000
miles, with no repairing of her ma
chinery and no scraping of her bottom.
The world has never seen anything
like it before. though the nations build
ing navies will insist on things just
like it in future. So far as the United
States are concerned, the palm for
building the finest battleships must be
given to the Pacific coast.
But the failure of the Cristobal Colon
not TO attain a greater speed and her
quitting after the first burst, remains
inexplicable.

MARK THE PREDICTION!

Helena independent: If any commander
of volunteers is permitted to win martial
glory in the now going on. he will not
be a Democrat. General Fitzhugh Lee
and Colonel William Jennings Bryan Will
be as securely bottled up as was Cervera
in Santiago harbor. They are both near
Havana and would very naturally be at
the front if an invasion of Cuba should be
undertaken with the object of capturing
Havana. But If Havana is besieged. the
Independent ventures a prediction right
here that General Lee and Colonel Bryan
will be kept so far from the front that
neither one will get mention in the report
of the general who will be put in COM
mand over both of them when operations
are seriously begun. No, sir. The glory
of this war will be won by Republicans
who are prospective candidates on the Re
publican ticket; such as Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. next Republican candidate for
governor of New York in the interest of
the Hanna administration. General Lee is
a popular hero of the south. and would
make an ideal candidate for the vice pres
idency on the ticket with Colonel William
Jennings Bryan. the ideal statesman and
patriot in the eyes of more than 100000
voters two years ago. Neither one will
be permitted to win the laurels of the SOL
der in this war. Mark the prediction.

interests there, for either could send a
governor general, back him with =
navy and army, and give to the islands,
to all intents and PURPOSES, an imperial
government. But what government
could we give them without surrender
ing our form, and advertising TO the
world that it is not sufficient for the
handling of savage or seni-savage
tribes away from the home base2 True

was sent to louisiana after the pur
chase and before statehood, send with
it a couple of warships, il could organ

round the stump, establish schools and
adjust the rights of property on just
basis; but why should WEI Again, on
what grounds could we claim the right
to do so except by lowering ourselves
to the level of Europe, and claiming
that the old brutal law of might still
rules the world?
By such an act we should have to
admit that the suspicious of Europe
We're well founded; we should awaken
the fears of Mexico and all Spanish
America, that at the first opportunity
we would interfere and absorb their
countrieS-in short, it would be a no.
tice that we had put aside a rule
which we have adhered to since the be-
ginning, and were now, a great mill
tary power. starting out for the con-
quest of just as much of this world
as we could subdue and retain. To do
it, too, would be to establish that the
plighted word of the president and
congress of the United States is worth
no more than diplomatic promise
made by Great Britain or Russia or
Germany. No Philippines for u.s.
Does our contemporary recognize
those arguments? That article ap-
peared in its editorial columns on May
S, 1898, just one week after Dewey won
his victory oyer Montejo. Have the
facts in the case or the character of the
F'ilipinos been changed in less than
three months. If on May s, to us the
Philippines would have been the big
ever caught in a jungle why wouldn't
they be now? If, on May s. we could
not give them any government without
surrendering our form, and advertising
to the world that it is not sufficient for
the handling of savage or semi-savage
tribes away from the home base, can
we do it now? Yes, we could send a

should we?" Again, on what grounds
could We claim the right to do so ex-
cept by lowering ourselves to the level
of Europe, and claiming that the old,
brutal law of might still rules the

All this might be done. and our con-
temporary seems to think that it should
be done. but ito do it, too, would be to
establish that the plighted word of the
president and congress of the United
States is worth nc more than a diplo-
matte promise made by Great Britain

THE WAR TO CONTINUE.

News comes from Washington that
there is to be no cessation of military
operations pending the preliminary ne
gotiations for peace; that the war is to
be pushed as vigorously as ever. This
is the determination, not because the
administration is opposed to peace, but
because the administration has resolved
that Spain shall have no chance to play
the dilly-dally game of diplomacy at
which she is so great an adept. 1t is
said that if an armistice is granted, it
will only be upon condition that the
most binding pledges shall be given
that it is to be followed by a treaty
OF peace. All this has not been an
nounced authoritatiyely, but it is said
to he reliable.
If such is the determination of the
administration, it will meet with the
approval of the people. They will toll
crate no schemes which have for their
purpose to give Spain a breathing spell,
and possibly allow her to enlist aid in
the matter of negotiations. They have
learned that she is a wiley, deceitful.
diplomatic nation, skilled beyond all
others in the art of making language
conceal thought The American people
have no faith in Spain or Spanish
methods, and they will want the ad-
minstration to conduct the peace nego-
tiations in accordance with their feel
ings in this regard.
1t is further said that Secretary Day
intends to eschew the conventional
diplomatic methods and go straight to
the object to be attained; that the
terms of peace will be so plain that he
who runs may read that there will be
no beating about the bush; that also
will meet with the approval of the peo-
pie, and will bring peace more speedily
than it can be brought any other way.
But what a surprise to Spain such a
straightforward business method will
be. 1t should be a valuable lesson to
her, for her unbusinesslike methods
are among the chief causes of her pres
ent distressful condition.
