my manager, when boy rushed in on
the stage to tell us that General Grant
and his family were in one of the box

ed the managers face, followed By a
look of agonized doubt, as he evident
ly reflected that the Gener. had
dead headed into the box. Did
you send him box?' and, on my re-
plying in :!sc negative, he pulled out
a card from his pocket, wrote line on
it, told the boy to take it to- the box
office aud bring back an answer. The
boy rushed off, his head full Of the
gene. and returned in a few minutes
with the card, which he handed to Mr..
Manager. \ CHASTITY look crossed his
face as he read it, and without word
handed it to me. The first line read,

The Ice blockade on the Lakes.

The Navy Department notes the arrival
Of the L. S. s Michigan at Erie, Pa, where
she will be laid up for the winter, in antici-
patton of the freezing of the great lakes.
This memorandum means a great deal
more today than It old twenty years ago
It means that with the approach of winter
vast current OF commerce Is checked.
with a consequent effect upon many lines
of industry and trade Since the Michigan
fist began to tie to a wharf at the coming
of the ice, the trade of the lakes has
swelled many fold. The question arises
whether some means cannot be devised
whereby these bodies of water may be kept
open during the winter months, and thus
prevent the cessation of the traffic upon
which so many industries depend. The
proposition IS no longer absurd. The Rus
sian government has demonstrated that
steamships can be given sufficient power to
crush the ice in even the exposed harbors
of the northern coast of Europe and of
eastern Siberia, as at Vladivostok A
steamer has. in fact, been built and placed
in regular service with the greatest sue
cess, working smoothly in ice several feet
thick and preventing bIockades without
any difficulty. So easily is the work done
that other ships have been ordered of
greater power, with the anticipation that
henceforth Russian trade need suffer no in
terruption whatever on account of the
climate. II might prove, upon experiment,
that the winds which prevail over the
chain of American lakes would prevent the
maintenance of an open channel, after IT
had been broken by an Ice ship. 1t is to be
remarked. however. that there has been in
service for number of years an ice-breaker

the South African Republic. Numbers Of
the Dutch residents are declaring aiieg-
lance to the invaders, although warned by
the British authorities that in so doing they
are running the grave risk of being later
declared TO be traitors, and punished as
such.
The greatest anxiety is said to prevail at
London for the safety of Mafeking now
that the Beers have begun to lombard the
city. Should that city fall the Beers will
concentrate upon Kimberley in force and
endanser the diamond mines. As In Natal,
everything depends upon the arrival of the
army corps now on its way to South Africa.
There is no definite understanding outside
of the British war office as to the length of
time required for the bulk of these troops
to reach Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, New
London and Durham, where they will be
debarked. Probably at least ten more days
will elapse before word is received of the
arrival of any considerable forces at the
front. and in that time much may happen,
though it is not yet believed that the Beers
will be able to force the fighting sufficient
ly to drive the British seaward or to create

Prompt Work for the Public Health.

There is no reason whatever for alarm in
Washington on account of the latest out
break of smallpox in this city. The most
vigorous measures have been adopted with
out DELAY and every precautiOn has been
taken to minimize the chances of a spread
of the disease. With a weII-equipped hos
pital and detention camp it is possible now
to isolate both patients and suspects with
out materially disturbing the ordinary rou-
tine of affairs. and the means at hand for
promptly tracing the infection and investi-
eating all outlets for possible spread are
sufficiently ample to establish confidence on
the part of the people. 1t has been found
necessary to close certain schools for disin-
lection and to keep number of persons
under close observation. With the expert
ence of last winter in mind there is really
nothing at present to apprehend. So prompt
and effective were the measures then adopt
ed that the disease was confined within
comparatively narrow limits and out Of
over ninety cases there was only one death
Had the disease been allowed to establish
Itself beyond bounds it is believed that the
virulenCe Of the epidemic would have been

suits 1t is not yet possible, of course, to

Health of the Philippines.

From the St. Louis Star.
One of the main arguments of the oppo-
nents to expansion in the Philippines has
been and is the unhealthfulness of the
climate of the islands themselves. In con-
travention to this argument we find that
the 10Th Kansas. which went out to the
orient 1,266 strong, and which has accom-
pished as much marching and endured as
much suffering possibly any regiment in
the orient, has returned to this country
after eighteen months service with loss
of only thirty-three from disease, less
than per cent
From this showing it would seem that If
the average American citizen desired to es-
cape the fatalities of disease he should inn
mediately betake himself to Manila, in the
Island of LuZon, in the Philippine archipeI-
ago.
1t must be said that many American citi-
Zens, together with quite a number of
newspapers of this country, are badly off
their base concerning matters generally in
the Philippines.
Let up on the folly. Permit Uncle Sam to
go right ahead, wipe out Aguinaldo and his
followers, both in this country and Luzon,
establish a stable government over there,
and, after matters are finally settled, then
make complaint if anything can be found

No Aims for Canada.

1t is reassuring to learn from authorita-
tive sources that the administration has
at no time seriously considered the propo
sition to permit Canada to secure control
of Pyramid Harbor, in Alaska This
nouncement simplifies the situation con-
sideraby as far as this country is con-
cerned,
Canadas proposal appears more ridicu-
lOus as it is examined and it seems strange
that it should have been seriously ad-
vanced by the dominion's minister. The
sentiment of the Americans who have set
tied in Alaska Is unanimously opposed to
the grant of any lands privileges to
Canada within the line of the American
claims. With Pyramid Harbor in posses
sion or under the control of Canada it
would not be long before the value of Ska
quay and Dyea as the entrance points to
the Yukon gold fields by the overland route
would be lost. In any event. whatever
might happen to the American holdings
Canada's success in this direction would
far more than compensate her for the re-
lection of the whole of her remaining
claims.
1t is not yet clear by what means the
permanent boundary line will be fixed This
country hesitates before agreeing to sub
nit the case to such a tribunal as that
which just defined the Venezuela boundary
II does not believe that there is sufficient
historical or modern warrant for the do
minions claims for them to be advanced
to the dignity of adjustment by an inter-
national tribunal, which often takes the
easy, middle course of a compromise YER
dict. Had these claims been presented in
the early stage of Alaska's development
under American sovereignty the situation
would be different. But they have sprung
almost wholly from the inspiration of re-
cent discoveries of gold. from the growth
of the trade with the territory, from the
dominions necessities To adopt the arbi-
tratiOn principle for clear case of
warranted territorial enterprise would be
to put a premium upon aggressions of the
same kind at other points on the border.
