New York, Dec. DETERMINATIONS Of
the sailing schedules and the maritime
register show no vessels Of either the
Hamburg American or North German
Lloyd lines near Dungeness. 1t Is al
most impossible to conceive how
steamer of either line could have been
near the spot indicated in the cables,
unless the departure of vessel from
Hamburg or Bremen was variation
from the advertised sailings. Gable
dispatches for four days back do not
reveal that any liner of the two COM
panies has sailed from Hamburg or Bre-
men outward bound.

Against Seizure of DciaEOa Hay.
Sir Charles Dixie in the Daily Chron-
icle this morning, discusses Great Brit
aims relation to Delagoa Bay with re-
gard to the food question He says:
1T would be one of the greatest follies
the country cotfld commit to disregard
the possibility of war some day
against a powerful naval coalition, in
which event it would be to the interests
of the United States to feed Great Brit
ain. Great Britain must endure the
present conditions, possibly doing some
thing by pressure on the Portuguese
officials, and strengthening the British
consular staff at Delagoa Bay"
The Daily Chronicle, in an editorial
dealing with the dependence of Great
Britain upon the United States for food
in time of war, expresses the opinion
that many British ships would be trans
ferred to the United States flag.

Inc entire colonies, dependencies and pro-
tectorates of the world number 1876 They
occupy tWo-tfths of the land surface of the
globe, and their population is one-third of
the people OF the earth. Those who fancy
therefore. that Uncle Sam is embarking in
a new and unusual business may see the
size OF their mistake. AS a matter of fact,
We nave been conspicuousy the one great

SIMPLY because we had our hands full i'll

Is not saying even now, that a coloniZing
policy is advisable. 1t is merely to disabuse
the trnid of the idea that we are engaged
IN some irregular and perilous thing in dar-
ing to place few foreign islands under the
shelter OF the eagles broad wings.
Are colonies profitable? Well, the total
IMPORTS of those cited above ssSerage s.. 800
o030V0 of goods annually, ana of this vast
sum more than 40 per cent is purchas ed
from the mother countries. How did Eng
Iahd acquire her vast wealth? While the
non-British world buys but Is per cent. of
lls total foreign merchandise from the
United Kingdom the British colonial world
buys 43 per cent. AS a consequence of this
fact Great Britain is enabled to make an
additional market for 100000 900 annually
of her products.
And not only has Great Britain added to
her market by bringing $50 coo, GOO people into
colonial relationship, but her course has
been the means of vast wealth in other
Ways-through great railway, telegraph and
a great variety of other enterprises con-
trolled by British capital And what is true
of Great Britain is true of the Netherlands
The Dutch colonies in the East containing
some 34,c)00O0 contented and Industrious
people, are a mine of wealth, and to the
eternal honor of the mother country they
are ruled essentially through kindness and
Justiee-not q great expense, but at an enor-
nous profit to all.
Does colonizing pay? With this question
belongs the very pertinent question: does
justice pay? England has not been lust but
she has learned much wisdom within the
last half century, though at heavy costs
The Dutch have been as essentially honest
and equitable with their great colonial
family as the Spanish have been cruel and
rapacious. Upon how much we learn from
the coloniZing experiences of other nations

profit that is possible. To the extent that

surprised and 1t is not difficult TO

civil marriage law was passed and en-
forced during Balmaceda's administration
and although these unions have sometimes
occurred since its passage, they are not exe
eused on the ground that the blessing or

White Mans Burden"
Boston Globe.

Boston Globe.
Some people Of organically conservative
and unsocial natures always maintain that
the proper maxim for all good people and
nations is "Stay at home and mind your
own business" They fancy that this is the
exact intent of the Monroe doctrine and
that on general principles people comfort
ably set up in national housekeeping ought
to be satisfied and not aspire after colonies
in distant parts of the world
But human nature is happily restless and
yearns to push out into the world. But for
the colonizing ambitions OF the old Greeks
and Romans Europe might perhaps still be
toddling in the infancy of civilization. But
for the colonizing trait in Europeans the In
dians might still be roaming among the hills
and valleys of New England. Civilization
would long ago have stagnated from mac
tion but for the nomadlc tendency which
still more or less animates all races
All the great maritime nations of the
earth have been coloniZers. From tables re-

Blown buds Of barren flowers

MoMAN.s BRAVERY.

Who'll dare to say woman Is not brave,
Because she shares not in the strife,
For the noblest battle ever fought
Was won by the soldiers wife.
Twas an easy thing to charge foe,
Amid smoke and battle cheers.
But different far to wait at home,
Tortured by doubts and fears.
But they call him hero who falls on
the field,
Looking UP to the flag above,
And never thinks of the maid that gave
To her country the one of her love.
And the sailors that walk the Brook
lyn's" deck
Are proud of the work she's done,
But what of the woman waiting at
For news of her best loved one.
And the news of a wondrous victory.
That the people so quickly spread.
Brings little joy to the woman
Whose loved one is dying or dead.
And If she goes not to the battle front,
To share in the deadly strife.
She cares for the wounded and helpless
And nurses them back to life.
So when you weave the garlands
For the heroes in Blue or Grey,
Be just and weave one for our women,
Who were just as brave as they.

PORTSMOUTH BOYS PROMOTED.

Messrs. Benjamin f. Markham and
Alcnzo c. Burrough. two Portsmouth
boys who have held for many years
the position of carpenters in the United
States Navy. were on yesterday pro-
noted to chief carpenters.
This promotion was made possible
under the new navy personnel bill.
which went into effect recently. and as
usual. whenever there are Portsmouth
people interested and honors are to be
conferred. through merit Portsmouth
distances all competitors.
These gentlemen have splendid re-
cords in the navy. as they have at home
as citizens. and there are thousands of
people in this city who will rejoice with
them in their well-deserved advance
mcnt.
These new positions carry with them,
as Il matter of course, greater honors,
more privileges. and increased salaries,
the rank being that OF Ensign.

NO NAMES YET CONSIDERED.

The Virginian-Pi is in a position
to state upon very good authority that

Trinity Episcopal Church. of this city,
to succeed the Rev. ]. y. Funston, have
been thought Of much less considered
by the congregation of vestry of that
church. reports to the contrary not
withstandinE.
There is among the individual mem
bers of the church some talk of several
prominent Episcopal clergymen, who,
it is thought. would seriously consider
n call from Trinity before declining 1t,
as it is splendid appointment.
The names of Revs. Nelson p. Doane,
John d. Lloyd, d. D.. and NJ. Z. Logan,
d. D., are more frequently mentioned
than others for the rectorship. But as
stated. it is mere talk among the men,
bers, and no authority has been given
any one at home or abroad to select q
successor to Mr.. Funston.
There will be no action taken In this
direction for two or three weeks yet;
certainly not until after Mr.. Funston
has been elevated to the Bishopic OF
Idaho.
