MIDDLE SWIM STREET.
The Best Lighted Thoroughfare in
the World.

Most people who have not much ex-
perience of the sea at night imagine
that it is, for the most part, a gloomy
waste Of waters, with here and there
lighthouse on a reef or a lightship
moored a few miles from the coast.
No idea could be more mistaken, AMI
it will probably surprise them TO learn
that there is great highway for ships
a few miles from the mouth OF the
Thames, which is, if anything, even
more brilliantly lighted than Regent
street.
Mariners about our English coasts
have the sea marked out for them into
roads and streets as definite and OBJ
vious as PiccadilIy or the Strand. 1t
is only by extreme negligence or by an
absolutely unforeseen combination of
adverse circumstances that q ship can
lose its way nowadays when it is With
in twenty or thirty miles Of The En-
glish coast.
The greatest sea road in the whole
world is the Swim Deep, at the mouth
of the Thames It is not too much to
say that every foot of it is surveyed
and marked down in the chart. 1t is
lighted more completely than many
city thoroughfares, and to the sailor it
is more homelike and familiar than the
Commercial Road or the Whitechapel
High street.
Down this great high road of the sea
much of the trade of the world is car
ried Ships from the furthest parts Of
the world patrol it day and night in an
endless procession, bringing goods to
London or taking English produce to
distant lands.
AS the traveller steams down the
Thames between the low mud reaches
beyond Gravesend, his first glimpse of
the wonderful system of lights which
guides the ships is obtained at South
head.
A red light shines out over the water,
and it is a warning that the river
journey is nearly finished and that
Swim street is near at hand.
Tom Hood immortalized the More in a
poem called the Little Buoy at the
More" but he had nothing to say about
one of the most famous Of our English
Iightships. The More Light" as the
sailors call it, is at the very entrance
to the great highway. It shows a
white light, which revolves every half
minute.
Every lighthouse ana HSnISnlp mas
its own particular and distinguishing
system of signaling it's name. For ex-
ample, the next light in Swim street is
seven miles from the More, and is
called the Mouse" Light.
In order that there may be no con-
fusion between the two ships the
Mouse ship shows a green light, which
revolves every. twenty seconds, and
which is visible for exactly ten miles.
Tt is also provided with foghorn,
which is blown by compressed air, and
it is said to have the most unpleasant
voice in the whole channel

railing Of the anti-expansionists against
the President is senseless, because he
could not II he would make the in

ratlfy any treaty of peace with them
embracing that condition. The war
with Spain procured the islands for rs
and the Senate ratified the treaty.
Under the circumstances, therefore
the President has no right to give over
the country to Aguinaldo or any ono
else. 1t is comparatively easy for the
anti-expansionist editors at their deslss
to decree and demand what shall be
done with the Philippines. but the
President has only one duty in tbe
premises, he must enforce the laws
maintain the approved rights Of the
United States in the islands, assert the
authority of the nation there and keen

The recent convention of the Ameri-
can Forestry Association in Los Ange-
les, followed as it was by several con-
ferences on forestry in San Francisco,
has had an excellent effect in bring
ing out many important facts and ex-
pressions of opinion from those who
have made a close study of the SUBJ

at least many of them-are beginning
to seek for instructions as to how they
can best develop their enterprises, so
as to secure the crop of lumber with
out wasting or running the prospects Of
other crops.
TRUST THE PRESIDENT.
Fresno Republican: The brief an
nouncement OF Professor Schurman's s
views on the Philippine question is ex-
tremely interesting as we'll as import
ant. Professor Schurman went to the
Philippines a professed anti-expansion-
ist, but like everybody else who has
ever been intrusted with the RESPONSE
bility of finding positive solution of
the Philippine question, he has found
that there is no solution but Ameri-
can sovereignty. 1t is not question
of policy, though it is good policy, but
of necessity and honor. 1t is on the
question of honor that the head of the
Philippine commission lays special
stress. 1T is a purely moral question, .
says he. 1.-The vital issue is the honor
of the nation, the protection of the
Filipinos and the fulfillment of our OBJ
legations to the world, involved in our
acceptance of sovereignty"
Another point which the Commits
sioner emphasizes is of especial import
ance. He says:
1.-THE means and agencies for the ac-
complishment of this end must be de-
termined by the President, and it is
we'll to bear in mind that the President
understands the situation better than
any one else can possibly do, inasmuch
as he is in receipt of information from
a variety of sources. civil and military,
and has the judgment of experts on the
facts presented. / have no doubt the
President will soon effect a solution of
the Philippine problem which will be
entirely satisfactory to the American
people. To his craftsmanship and tried
ability we must intrust the issues of
this great difficulty"

Making Artificial Ewes.

Tucked away in quaint old-world cor
nerS we find some of the most odd per-
sonages. Such is the great artificial
eye maker and painter, A. Mueller Hip
per. In quaint Lauscha, in the very
heart of old Thuringens dense forests S
and high mountains, he sits and works
away day in and day out, surrounded
by his family, the male members of
which are all experts in this delicate
work, and have been such since the
days of his great grandfather, who first
started the work at Paris, but who, ow-
ing to the strong anti-German feeling
was forced to return to his native
mountain land. They have grown rich
but lead simple, quiet lives. While the
writer sat in front of Mr.. Hipper he
deftly mixed different colored glasses

MALARIA AND RESEARCH.

Malaria is not confined to low and
swampy sections. Time was when il
was supposed that in the lowlands
alone could it assault one. But that
is given over and it is conceded on all
sides, in the words of the Medical
Record" that it is the most widespread
disease that attacks mankind" It is
true that in tropical and semi-tropical
countries it is more in evidence, and
claims a larger number of victims, but
It is no longer claimed that it is con-
fined to such regions.

ton has brought with it greater effort

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.


The Presidents speech yesterday at
Pittsburg in the ovation in honor of
the returning Pennsylvania troops had
no uncertain sound. It's ringing cheer
will be found in our telegraphic col
umns this morning, and is we'll worthy
the reading. 1t is crisp, vigorous and
to the point and minces no words.
The President gives the lie direct
and with vigorous blow to the state
nent the "contractionists'' indulge in,
that we provoked the war against the
insurrectionists in Luzon. He shows
that we had the right at the time to
Manila alone and small bit Of terri
tory around it; that the peace treaty
had not been concluded, and that Spain
still held the islands Of the archipelago.
1t was in such a time as that that the
rebels began the war, and they were
the aggressors General Otis was but
carrying out the orders of his Govern
ment when the impatient insurgents
found the pretext for provoking war.
The President gives it to be clearly un-
derstood that so far as his administra-
tion is concerned there will be no tenn
porizing and no rest until the insur-
rection is crushed. Then this Govern
ment, with it's authority fully estab
lished, will do the very best, as he the
other day said in a short address, for
the Filipinos that is possible to be done,
to secure for them every privilege they
are capable of enjoying wisely and well
and just such measure of self govern
ment as they are capable of exercising
compatible with the maintenance of our
sovereignty of the islands
His tribute to the volunteer soldiers
and the sailors of the nation who re-
mained in service overtime in the Phil
ippines, to maintain the honor of the
nation, is richly deserved. He -confesses
that without such patriotic devotion
and self-sacrifice the United States
would have been helpless on land, and
our flag would have had its first stain
and the American name it's first ig-
nominy"
He explains very clearly that it was
due to the loyalty of the volunteers in
remaining after the time when entitled
TO be returned to their homes that we
We're able to avert disaster. A new
army had to be created. The old rule
regarding the regular army tied the
hands Of the Government as to the
employment Of trained men. While a
new force was being modified the
American volunteers took its place and
saved the honor of the nation Surely
such patriotic behavior deserved the
Warmest and frankest Acknowledgement
the Chief Executive of the nation could
make.
The President explains why for so
long a time our troops remained mac
tive, smarting under the insults and
taunts Of the insurgents, and he pays
the volunteers a. high tribute for their
forbearance and patience, by which the
Government was able to remain true TO
the calls Of the protocol and keep per-
feet faith with Spain.
But the sharpest, clearest ring in the
whole speech, that which will find most
responsive echo in the hearts Of the
American people, is the declaration Of
the President: "The insurgents assailed
our sovereignty, and there will be no
useless parley-no pause until the in
surrection is suppressed and American
authority is acknowledged and estab-
lished."

If the Hague conference made no
near approach to the disarmament
proposition which it was convened to
consider, it at least accomplished much
in bringing together representative men
of more than a score of nations whose

ed in a general better understanding
1t is conceded by all students of the
debates and conferences that there will
result from the convocation greater
stability in international trade, re-
moval of many irritating restrictions,
and in due time there will ripen fruit
and good means of adjusting differ
ences between nations without resort
to threat of war every time there is a
small issue joined. Not that there are
to be general arbitration courts estab-
lished, or that the independent action
of any power is to be hampered, but
there will be less and less of the ten
dency to make war as international

Los Angeles Times: The question of

that have become denuded-is inti-
mately bound up with the other great
question of arid land irrigation. 1t is
only within the past four or five years
that the important question of forestry
has been given any attention by the

lavish in her gifts Of timber resources
to this country that we have sometimes
fallen into the error of supposing that
they are inexhaustible. How false such
an idea is may be seen from a glance
at some of the countries of the Old

now arid and bare. In European coun-
