TO EXHIBIT REiNA MERCEDES.
The Spanish Cruiser Is to Be Sent to
New York and Boston.


The Navy Department has decided to
send the former Spanish cruiser, Reina
Mercedes, to New York and Boston for
exhibition purposes. She will remain
about two weeks at each place. The
Reina Mercedes was sunk in Santiago
harbor by Spaniards on the night of July
4. 1898, for the purpose of blocking the
channel against the entrance of Samp-
sons ships. The board of survey has
reported to the Navy Department that
she can he calked and temporary repairs
made for $1,000.

REQUESTED NO GIFT OF GOLD.
Philadelphia Press.

The fact that the United States has
been able to pay the Spanish people
$2O,0OO,0OO for deed to the Philip
pines without withdrawing a single
piece Of sold from the National Treas
ury is a great source of pride to the
Republican party, for this fact alone
demonstrates that so long as the
finances Of the nation are in the hands
of the Republicans our credit is safe,
and there is no doubt of our ability to
maintain the gold basis. The millions
paid Spain were paid on a basis Of for
eign exchange, our favorable balance
as trader being sufficient for the pay
ment of this sum several times over,
and the immense amount was paid
without creating the slightest ripple
in our financial circles. If the Repub-
lican party could always remain in
power there would be little need for
further tinkering with the money
laws, and the manner in which we
have maintained our gold basis and
our credit through a years war is am
pie testimony that our finances are
sound. We have good sound money
now and we must maintain it's reputa-
ton forever. There ere a few reforms
that would benefit our system Of
finance, perhaps, but we want no polit
ical experiments with the money Of the
people of the United States, nor any
tinkering Herewith. The people Of
the United States had a sad expert
ence with the tariff tinkerers, who
pushed the nation back ten years in its
march of progress, and they will not
permit any more tinkering with the
money. Make the changes that will
tend to strengthen our credit and forti-
fly the gold basis but no tinkering with
the single standard.-Des Moines

Philadelphia schooner William NJ. Bird,
from Charleston, S. c., to New Lon
don, Conn, was wrecked in the Octo-
Der hurricane off the Frying Pan shoals,
North Carolina, and ten of the crew,
including Captain Barrett, persisted.
Two survivors, George w. Loud, the
mate, and George Robinson seaman,
have been landed at Salisbury, Md, by
the schooner Samuel I. Beachem, from
Jacksonville, Fla, which vessel rescued
them on the afternoon of November 3
twenty-nine miles southwest of the
Frying Pan lightship.
The survivors had been without food
or water for ninety hours and suffered
great hardships, having chewed the
leather of their shoes to keep from
starving. They have not yet recovered
sufficiently to tell just how their COM
rades persisted, but they state in an in
coherent manner that the lost men
were swept of one by one from the
wreck as their strength grew weaker
and drowned.

the course they had selected brought them
SO near to Uranus that they almost grazed

Many of the astronomers who have made

Economically speaking, before the entire
system will be broken up and the meteors,
instead of appearing in the form of an ar
my. as at present, will constitute a COM
plete ring around the whole orbit.
As it has been estimated, however, that
it will require seventeen centuries for the
train of Leonids to even double its pres
ent length, the fact that it is sometime
fated to lose its ma gnificence need not
trouble persons who are alive to-day. 1t
is enough for US that the great parade

and have turned from the ranks to in
vestigate what manner of thing this is
floating so proudly in space. If such
is the case disappointment certainly
awaits the deserter. AS he plunges to-
ward us he is met by all kinds of OBJ
stacles Almost Immediately the bat
tie commences and by the time he has
reached point about five miles from
the earth he gives up the struggle and
fades away into dust.
Undoubtedly there will be deserters
during the next parade. Some of the
meteors will turn from their compan-
ions to hurl themselves toward us, but
in a few brief seconds the blaze of
light will fade and the glory of the
atom will have departed. 1t is posi-
ble that, as in 1866, the desertionS may
be go numerous that the break in the
ranks may sometimes be detected, and
in that case we shall have an oppor-
tunity to see the ranks of the vast army
reformed. The command will be given
and in an instant other atoms will
come forward The broken ranks will
be flied and the army will continue its
long march on as if no such thing as
desertion had ever come to interfere
with its progress.
How the meteors originated no one
can tell. There have been many theo-
ries advanced and it is possible that
any one of them may be correct Some
astronomers have held that they were
particles of matter shot out from the

LONDON, November 11-Europe is
now agog with rumors OF diplomatic
activity and alliances that may be eff
fected. AS a result, the relations of the
European powers seem to be rapidly
assuming a new phase. This, doubt
less, is not a little due to the fact that
in nearly all the recent international
negotiations the United States has been
a factor. Judging from Lord Sails
bury's inference, this can be partly
attributed to the evident determination
of the governments of the great powers
TO work tremendously with Great Brit
ain, policy which, judging from the
continental press, is obnoxious to the
majority of the continental peoples.
The forthcoming visit of Emperor Will
liam to Queen Victoria is regarded as
Gaping the climax of British diplo-
matte success, and the feeling of salts

ment that Count Won Buelow will ac-
company Emperor William to England
is taken as an indication that his
majesty does not mean to give the anti
British press any opportunity of belit-
ting his visit on the score that it is

for Great Britain, it is scarcely likely,
as some of the optimistic declare, that
important treaties looking toward a
closer alliance will be the immediate
consequence of the imperial jaunt. 1t
is pointed out that all which could be
done in this direction seems already
accomplished, and several diplomats
have expressed the opinion to repre-
sentatives of the ssociated Press that
this was far more than was expected,
and that international feeling was not
yet ripe for any more than a formal
bond between the two nations, which,
three years ago, were on the verge of
hostilities. The announcement of the
Samoan agreement throws pleasant
shadow over this meeting of Queen Vic
toria and Emperor William and as
sures the visitor a hearty reception

form of matter than that of which the
earth is composed, the kind of matter
cut of which the sun and its attendant
planets were constructed. However
that may be, it is quite evident that
these meteors have some connection
with the comets.
A PREDICTION.
In 1861 Professor Kirkwood said:
May not our periodic meteors be the
debris of ancient but now disintegrated
comets whose matter has become 6ss-
tributed round their orbits?" At frs.
this suggestion was scarcely consid-
cred, but during a shower seen few
years later Professor Schiaparelli, of
Milan, discovered that the meteors that
could be seen in August were moving
in the same path as Tutthes comet Of
1862. In a similar manner it has since
been discovered that the comet OF Tem-
pei is moving in the same path as The
Leonids, which lends color to the sug-
gestion that this comet may have been
the parent of the swarm.
Speaking from an astronomical point of
view, the Leonids have a most romantic
history. Strange as it may seem, they
are actually new corners to the suns fam
lily, for it was not long ago that they
moved freely about In outer space. At.
ter ages of this freedom however, they
