The President and Congress have
been prompt and profuse in extending
thanks to officers Of the army and
navy for deeds Of conspicuous bravery
IN action. No mention, however, has
been made thus far Of the magnetic act
Of Captain sigsbee after the wreck
Ing of his beautiful battleship. A man
who went through the ordeal that so
suddenly faced him without losing his
head or his judgment, is a hero OF the
first water. His injunction, Suspend
Judgment till facts are known" was
most potent as calming the outburst
Of popular Indignation. 1t accomplish
ed more than a presidential proclama'
ton or an act Of congress. This single
sentence halted and held for many
DAYS the criticism Of the enlightened
world. Are there no thanks left foi
this remarkably cool-headed officer!
He was exonerated from blame for the
loss of his ship, and this constitutes
his sole recognition.

THE SPANISH COLONIES.
Spo,n Could Learn No Lesson from sns
Loss Of Her Possessions.

Loss Of Her Possessions |
Theodore 8. Woolsey, professor on
international law at Yale University
has an article in the September Cen
fury on Spain and Her American
Colonies" Prof. Woolsey says:
1t has already been said that Eng
land learned a lesson of the American
revolution, while Spain has never neeo-
ed it nor the loss Of her own colonloS'
Yet it really was not until fifty years
ago that their methods sharply al.
verged AS early as ITS Spain nao
begun to open her dependencies u
foreign trade, and early in this CEN
fury they were allowed to trade Win
one another. So, likewise, altnoush
great changes had been earlier rnaoe
In the English colonies the spirit OF
monopoly and Of a restrictive poilcy
was In force until about 1915. So far
as relates to the evils Of the coleman
system, then, the two we're not very
unlike. But into the field OF admins
trative reform and the grant OF autoh'
nous powers to her colonies, Spain
never had entered. The abuses OF ire
early part Of the century characterize
also its later years. Discrimination
against the native-born, even OF the
purest Spanish stock; officials VINO re-

QUEER WORK FOR AN ARMY

Experiment in Prussia to Estimate the
Skill and Speed of Soldiers.
An interesting experiment has just
been made by the Prussian war de-
partment, with view to discover the
speed with which artisans can work
In a given time in the ranks OF the
German army, says the London Tele-
graph. Twelve hundred bootmakers'
selected from the eighteen army corps
Ucattered about the empire, were sum-
moned lust over q month ago to Ber-
lin. to 20 through course OF four
weeks work. Eighteen colonies, lieu
tenant-colonels and captains, with
corresponding number Of noncommis-
stoned officers, were ordered to come
10 the capital to superintend the men.
The men were Quartered in the bar
racks of the LIST field artillery regiment
II the Prussian guards and performed
their daily work there. About forty
tocksmiths were told off to repair
their machines when necessary. The
men worked in two divisions continu-
Dusly day and night, one division re-
Ueving the other. One division worked
from 2 o. m. till 2 a. M, whereupon
thew we're relieved by the other party
which in it's turn worked from a. m
till 2 o. m. Two pauseS OF half al
hour each were made in zach twelve
hours work. The men got their din
