OF ALL sensationslists, the Washing
ton newspapers are the most sensation
al. The Potomac is frequently frozen
over, but since the system upon which
the newspapers there are now conduct
ed was adopted, it has rarely happened
that freeze has not melted them to
try to alarm the people of their City
with the alleged imminent danger OF
deluge, by reason OF the existence OF
the Long Bridge. That structure is
safer now than it ever was, and as the
river is never higher above, than below
it, the statement that it forms dam
must be incorrect. When there were
wide and open arches under the whole
length OF the causeway, so that the
water and ice from above could flow
through them, the tides were as high
and the currents as strong as they are
now; indeed so high and strong were
they, that some;imes spans of the
bridge were carried way, and would be
now if it INSTRUCTED the passage of the
water. Whv, the papers referred to
can have no idea of hydraulics. The
obstruction that would force a body OF
water as large as that above the bridge
SO much out OF its natural course TO the
sea as to seek its way through Wash
ington city, would have to be strong
enough to Withstand the Mississippi, let
alone the Potomac. Floods in Wash
inston come through the sewers, up
which the water from below the bridge
is force into the streets of that city.
If the destruction of the Long Bridge
could prevent them, the water would
do that, without the help of dynamite.

BRYAN ON THE MANILA CRISIS

BRYAN ON THE MANILA CRISIS.
Col. William Jennings Bryan made
an address on Imperialism" Saturday
night at the University of Michigan in
Ann Arbor. He said ia part:
The President in his Boston speech
has declared that the future of the Phil
ippines is in the hands of the American
people. This is al tha5 has been con-
tended for by tie opponents Of the CO.
lonial policy outlined by those who
have demanded the forcible and perma-
nent annexation of the Philippine ISL
ands. If the matter is in the hands OF
the American people then it is sub
ect for discussion by the American peo-
pie, and the only question to be consid-
cred and decided is whether the per.
manent retention of the Philippine Isl-
ands is desirable. And in considering
what is desirable we must consider
what is best for the people OF the
United States and what is best for the
Filipinos. Those who oppose the co.
lonial policy deny that the adoption OF
such q policy by this nation would be
beneficial either to the United States or
the alien race over which our sover-
eighty would be extended. | deny
that the Senators who opposed ratit-
cation were in any way responsible for
the commencement of ho5tilities. The
responsibility rests not upon those who
opposed the treaty but upon those who
refused to disclose the nations purpose
and left Filipnos to believe that their
fight against Spain instead of bringing
them independence had only brought
them change of masters"

GEN. LEE MAY BE RETAINED.


The Havana correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune writes as fol-
lows:
"There is hardly doubt but that in
the event of the disbandment of the
Seventh corps, General Lee will be re-
tanned in some important civil or mill
tary office. 1t will be the best thing
the government can do to place Gene
raj Lee st the head of the entire ad-
ministrasion in the island. Lee is the
man who should have been put there
at first. He understands how to man
age the Cubans, and has their unswerv-
ing loyalty and affection. Had he, and
not Brooke, been in control. his mere
request would have been etficacious IN
securing the disarmament of the Cuban
army. l am quite sure of this. 1t will
be a long step towards reconciling the
Cubans 20 the American rule to put
General Lee in actual control OF this
province. l don't think that the ad-
minstration has sufficient nerve to
make clean sweep of the present es.
Establishment and turn it ell over to Lee.
That would be altogether too nearly
the right thing for orr people to do it.
It would be stroke o. craftsmanship,
and craftsmanship isn't in the line Of
of our statesmen. They stop short at
politics, That has been the trouble
with Cuba up to date. 1t is time that
the other plan was tried, and it could
be initiated to advantage by appointing
Lee to the military governorship OF this
province and giving him some actual
authority. Just now he has none. But
military governorships will probably
90 out. pow that official peace exists"

The Elizabethan Stage Society has
been pretty sharply criticised all round
for its recent representation, or mis-
representation, of THE Merchant of
Venice" Among it's latest assailants is
the Academy which says: THE
parody of Shylock given by the Eliza
bethan Stage Society was not the only
or the worst solecism of which the
members of this curious body were
guilty in their performance OF The
Merchant of Venice given the other
day at st. Georges Hall. They pro-
fessed to produce the play after the
manner of the sixteenth century'-it
was SO stated in the bond-i e., the pro-
gram. Yet a professional actress sus-
tained the part Of Portia, although it
is certain that no women acted on the
English stage before the middle of the
seventeenth century, while the stage
was lit by gas and footlights instead of
suspended candles, which were en-
ployed almost up till Garrick's time.
On the part of an ordinary amateur
dramatic society, such incongruities
would not matter But the Elizabethan
State Society appeals to the public for
funds on the ground that it's work is
educational
Have you ever noticed" remarked
Stuart Robson, that almost every the
alter goer takes it upon himself to be
judge and jury and sit on the merits
CIR shortcomings of the play or players :?
Ninety-nine men out of a hundred, if
you question them as to- beauties of col
oring in this picture or that, will pro-
fess ignorance of the laws of pigment
and modestly state that they are not
in fit position to conscientiously Judge.
In nearly all branches of art and litera-
ture we find the same modesty of opin-
ion as regards the layman In the the
alter alone does the man who knows it
all discourse most glibly on ethics in
plays and their constructive draw
backs when he knows not even the
a-b-c of dramatic workmanship"
