CAN'T COLLECT DAMAGES.
The State Department. Turns Down a
Claim for Damages because of De-
tention on "a Captured Ship.

Washington, July 12.-Secretary
Hay has sent Ambassador Cambon an
answer to the latter's recent letter sub
hitting the claim of Miss Ivan Favre
for $4,000 damages attending the
capture of the French steamer Olinde
Rodriguez, on which she was a pas
senger, by the cruiser New Orleans
during the blockade of San Juan. The
secretary reviews the facts and states
the conclusion that the government is
not liable on this claim.
The secretary says the French
steamer was first obServed by the crui.
ser Yosemite on July 5, and that an
officer of the Yosemite went on board
and noted in the loe,of the Rodriguez
that blockade of San Juan was in
progress. Miss Favre subsequently
took passage at Port an Prince on July
13. On July II the Rodriguez again
put in an appearance off San Juan,
&hercupon she was captured by the
New Orleans. The prize was taken
10 Charleston on July 22 and on Au.
gust all the passengers were released

French company. Miss Favre's claim

attack of fever while at Charleston,
and the damages were for this and the
indignitics of detention.
From the facts cited the secretary
states that the United States naval
authorities could not be charged with
any negligence in the circumstances
attending the capture.
Secretary Hays letter is accom-
panied by one from Attorney General
Griggs. giving facts submitted by the
United States district attorney at
Charleston bearing out in detail the
points made in the secretary's letter.
He says the Rodriguez was anchored
off the battery in Charleston harbor,
in one of the most healthful spots
along the Atlantic coast.
Aside from the bearing of his deci-
sion on individual cases. it may have
bearing also on the claims which may
be brought forward by the owners of
the steamer Rodriguez and of the Ii

DEMOCRATS, TRUSTS, TARIFF.
Failure of Free Traders to Puil
Down the Wall Of Pro-
lection.

The story that a Chicago engineer
has an engagement to demolish the Chi
nese wall impels the ST. Louis Republic
to the following:
"The American high tariff should follow
its side-partner, the Chinese wall, into the
limbo of oblivion. 1t is of very much the
same order. There may have been time,
in the early days of this country, when a
proscriptive tariff was needed for the pro-
lection of our infant industr That
time has passed, however, and the favored
infant industries have developed into un-
grateful and oppressive trusts. The hour
is ripe for the demolition of the protective
Chinese wall The democratic party pro-
poses to undertake the contract in 1900, a 8
a feature of its war on the trust evil"
The democratic party has undertaken
to pull down the protective tariff on
divers and sundry occasions ere this,
and a most awful muddle it has made of
the business. With its Wilson law it
succeeded in knocking off the crown of
the wall here and there to the lament
able confusion of American industrial
life, and when the next annual election
came the rumblings of republican
landslide were heard. There was not
such an inspiration in the dismal eX-
pertinent that any party should care to
repeat it.
Nor is the old tariff issue radically
changed by the increase of trusts.
Trusts flourish in free trade England,
and if they were the inevitable and pc
culiar product of protection they would
have reached maturity long before this
present democratic catching at a straw.
There is a little matter of cause and eff
feet here that will have to be estab-
Hshed before it is accepted by the coun-
try. a mere assumption will not do.
Meantime the case of protection will
remain what it always has been. In his
article on Webster in Scribner's SEN
ator Hoar points out that that great
statesman found permanent reason
ity it afforded and the promise it gave
to American labor. The senator in
dorses it on the same ground and so
does the republican party. This is one
explanation of the party's many sue
cesses after the issues of the war were
over. The votes that have sustained the
protective tariff have been the votes of
worldngmen and of the farmers who
feed them, and in confusing the trusts
with the tariff the democratic party
had better take care lest it excite an
antagonism where it is trying most
sedulously to curry favor.-Chicago
Times-Herald.

SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS.
The Free silver Issue VIII Lose to
the Democracy Many
Ballots.

The proposition to retire Mr.. Bryan
from the leadership of the democracy
is a confession on the part of those who
make it that his views are too extreme
and that success at the polls with them
is out of the question. But to abandon
the views that Mr.. Bryan represents
would be to draw near to and so in
measure indorse the views that Mr.. Nc
Kinley represents. Would that insure
success?
The man who favors sound money.
is not in a humor to compromise that
question. He.does not want money that
is just little sound. He wants the al
together genuine article. And such a
man, who puts the money question
ahead of all other questions, will be
likely next year to support the ticket
which stands without qualification for
sound money To fish for him with n
silver hook baited with campaign CUFF
would be idle employment.
The man who favors protection may
have his views as to how high the bars
should be erected, but experience has
taught him that protection to be APP
piled effectively in the national policy
must be openly avowed. The German
Wilson tariff bill carried protection du-
ties, but they were prepared most in
eXpertly by those who had promised
Il free trade measure, and therefore
business interests were injured The
Dingley bill was prepared by those who
boldly proclaimed protection, and busi-
ness confidence was largely restored by
it. The figures were more regular, and
followed more closely logical lines. The
protectionist, therefore, will find no
difficulty next year in making choice
of a ticket.
The question of expansion is not as
yet clearly defined, but expansion it
self is an accomplished fact. The man
who believes in holding on to the new
territory can hardly be expected to sup
port n ticket nominated on an implied
regret for all that has been done. He
will prefer the ticket which represents
both pride in the achievements of the
war and an unreserved assumption of
all the responsibilities that have fol-
lowed.
The democracy's extreme stand un-
der Mr.. Bryan's leadership is at once
its strength and its weakness. If it is
to win at all it must be in direct oppo-
sition to the other side. If it under
takes to trim or evads it is certain to be
swamped.- Washington Star.

CREATION OF AN INDUSTRY.
Striking IIlustrqtion of the Bcnef-
cent Eject of IA Protective
Tariff.

The announcement that the shutting
down of the tin plate mills in the Unit
ed States, because of the inability of the
mill owners and the workingmen en-
ployed in them to come to terms for the
next year, means idleness for nearly
10000 men, directly and at once, and is
striking proof of the growth and size
of the tin plate industry in the United
States.
1t is only few years since that many
vehement assertions were made that no
such business could be made to prosper
in America. 1t was said that the hold
of the Welsh manufacturers was too
strong to be broken. Now the industry
is so large, so well established, and so
prosperous that no one thinks of it as
an exotic or questions its permaEence.
All this has been achieved without
the aid of native tin. No success has
attended such efforts as have been
made to develop tin mines in the Unit
ed States. We have met foreign COM
petition on similar ground and with no
special advantages in raw materials,
and the fact that almost $4,000 men
work in tin plate mills shows what has
been the result.
The history of industry building by
the aid of the tariff affords no more
striking instance than this of the pos
sibility of accomplishing great results
in a short time, when the conditions
are avorable.-Cleveland Leader.

A Startling Answer.

A Latin professor was explaining the der
ivaton of our word "ostracise" to his class
in local academy the other day. He told
the story of the early Roman republics and
the scheming of the politicians of the
times. He related how when any man in
the republic became obnoxious to his neigh
bors, they used to write his name on an
oyster she'll Latin-ostreum, shell), and on
the receipt of a specified number by the
consuls that man was banished, killed or
otherwise removed in some one of those
pleasant ways the old Romans had When
he had finished his explanation he said:
Nov, the boy here in the front seat,
what did we derive from the old Latin use
of the shell, which was called ostreum?"
The answer he expected was far from
what he got, for the little student with
spectacles in the front seat arose and de.
ivered himself thus:
From the Roman habit of using shells
to get the best of people we derive the
present Coney Island shell game, which is
q a. fascinating and costly sport. Brooklyn

A STRONG PROTEST.
IL Ii Made by Temperance People 20
the President Against Recent Hul-
ing by the Attorney General.

Washington, July IA delegation
composed of Joshua l.. Bailey, of
Philadelphia, president of the National
Temperance society; Joshua Levering,
of Baltimore, and others, represent
ing the National Temperance society
and kindred organizations called upon
the president yesterday to ask his con-
sideration of some points which it was
desired to present in reference to the
Interpretation by the attorney general
cf the 9Th section of the recent act of
congress entitled can act for the in
crease of the efficiency of the army of
the United States and for other pur-
poses" The delegation wished to
record its dissent from the opinion of
the attorney general in Interpreting
the act referred to.
Mr.. Bailey also read a paper signed
by many well known representatives
Of the National Temperance society
which embodied the views of the del
egatiOn and embraced the points on
which they dissented from the inter
oretatiOn given the act by the attor-
ley general. 1t contends that congress
sought TO accomplish the total aboli-
ion of the sale of Intoxicating liquor
N the army. The Interpretation of
the attorney general (Which was to
the effect that the act was prohibitiye
only as TO the sale of liquor in the can
teens by officers and men) the paper
declares was a matter of amazemcnt
20 the people of the whole country in
tcrested in the subject and no class
Of persons, it is asserted, were more
surprised than the congressman pres
ant during the enactment of the legis-
aton.
The members of the delegation re-
ported the president as saying that
the opinion of the attorney general
was given without any previous lnowl-
edge on his part-that he did not
know that such an opinion had been
given until several days afterward and
that he would look into the matter
personally and if the opinion of the
attorney general was found to be cor
rect, il should stand, but he added
that if the attorney general had made
a mistake he had no doubt he (Griggs)
would be ready to rectify it.

Hog Raising in the South.

In a farmers bulletin from the de-
partment of agriculture Mr.. Tracy
states that although more pork is con-
sumed in the southern states than ali
other meats combined, yet up to 1890
fully 90 per cent. of the pork used was
shipped from the great packing houses
in Kansas City, Chicago and Cincinnati.
The principal obstacle to success in hog
raising was the high price of corn and
the want of packing houses. Mr.. Tracy
shows that the exclusive use of corn is
unnecessary, and hog crops of arti-
chokes, turf oats, vetch, sorghum, cow
peas, sweet potatoes, peanuts, chufas
and cassava may be used along with
certain amount of grain feed. Packing
houses will naturally follow as soon
as the supply is in excess of the local
demand. Hints on breeding are added,
and it is shown that pure bloods can
be got in the south as readily as else
where, and that scrub blood is as I'M
profitable in Ohio as in Texas. In time
the hog may become the mortgage
litter" of the southern states, as it is
at present of the great corn belt from
Ohio to Kansas. The bulletin contains
much information on the care and feed
ing of hogs, the prevention of hog chol-
era and swine plague, and other hints
which will be as useful to farmers gen
orally as to the stock raisers of the
south

THE PARIS AFLOAT.
Long Stranded Steamer is Pulled OF
the Rocks by SaIvngers.

London, July 12.-The salvagers
have moved the American line steam
er Paris astern Il distance of $50 yards
and have shifted the vessels position
slightly to the eastward. The Paris
is now clear of the rocks. Tugs are
preparing to tow her to Falmouth
harbor.
The German salvagers are elated at
their unexpected success in floating
the Paris. She had been weighted
with nearly 1000 tons OF granite at
the stern. with a view of hoisting her
bows free from the rock. The divers
had difficulty in getting at the rock,
and this was the reason for the ten
tative effort to move her.
Several tugs from Falmouth proceed
ed to the scene, but the Germans were
not anxious for their assistance, offer
ing the largest tug only S25 for tow
age, an offer which was promptly re-
fused. 1t was then decided that the
vessel being in a position of compar-
ativc safety, should remain where she
was for the night, and that the divers
should continue their work of patching
the hull. so as to minimize the risk of
towing. Unless something unforeseen
occurs. the Paris will be towed to Fal-
mouth to-day, and if on inspection her
condition warrants it. she will be tax
EN- to Southampton or to some other
dock for repairs.
Falmouth. England, July 12.-The
coast guards report that, as the Paris
began to move at her anchors this
morning the crew was oblige to let
out cables and in about an hour the
liner got quite clear of the rock and
into decp water.

If you have never seen the original
of the declaration of independence it
is probable that you never will see it,.
An effort was made to bring it to Chi
cago for exhibition at the worlds fair.
1t failed, but served to draw the atten-
ton of the authorities to the fact that
the ink in which the priceless dccu-
ment is written was becoming badly
faded in the bright light to which it had
been exposed for many years. Accord
ingly in 1894 it was sealed between
pieces of glass and locked up in light
proof vault, along with the original of
the constitution of the United States
and other historical documents.

Within the last five years excavations
have been made in Milwaukee for the
purpose of providing for an addition
to the water supply. A shaft was sunk
at the edge of the beach 1870 feet in
depth, and from the bottom of this
a tunnel was bored extending 1920 feet
under the lake. These excavations have
made available a large quantity of loose
rock, which was spread out, covered
with soil, planted with grass and trees,
and made into a park. This soil has
proved to be a geological Klondike; 1T
is rich in Devonian fossils, which have
been identified and tabulated in the
current number of the Journal of Geol-
ogy. The best and until recently the

The Calamity Germ,

The general prosperity now prevail
ing throughout the country and the
prospect of its long continuance have
put an end, at least temporarily, to the
wall of the pessimist and calamityite.
1t is but little while since the land was
full of lamentations concerning the
terrible things that were happening
to the poor workingman and the great
army of unemployed, and still more
terrible things that would happen if
their nostrums for the healing of the
body polite were not adopted. This
was the burden of their song in 1896.
Happily, the American people were
wise enough to turn a deaf ear to their
complaints and predictions and adopt
policy which the peoples better judg-
ment told them would bring prosperity,
and now we have it in full measure.
For very shame the croalerS are 81
lenced. but will they remain so? Frogs
have their seasons for croaking, and
the fact that they are silent does not
prove that they are extinct. 1t takes
certain conditions to develop disease
microbes, and they are more active
and virulcnt at some seasons than at
others. The calamityitc germ is still
extant, and it is only a question of time
when the voice of the croakcr will be-
heard again in he nd.-lndianapolis
journal.
