ALGER HAS HEDGED.
ThrOw-DOwn on the Sem
atOriaI Scheme.

A1ger has fooled Pingree. In the Ian
guage of the race track, the unresigned
secretary has hedged.
In his last unbosoming, which was
made to New York reporters, he as
sures the public that he never had any
idea of forming an alliance with Gov.
Pingree. The latter, he declares, to his
surprise called upon him during re-
cent visit to Michigan and persisted in
forcing upon him, as it were, a sem
atorial boom. Alger admits the soft
impeachment that he accepted the
boom. but says that in doing so ne
made no alliance either offensive or de-
fensive with Pingree.
This presentation of the case does not
accord with Alger's interview given to
the Chicago reporters several days ago,
lust after he came from his conference
with Pingree. Then he acknowledged
that he had joined hands with the po-
tato statesman for the purpose of de-
feating Mr.. Mcmillan for the Michigan
senatorship and securing the toga for
his own shoulders.
He even admitted that he would
make his fight on a platform declaring
hostility to the trusts and favoring the
election of senators by direct popular
vote. He did not deny Pingree on that
occasion, or mention that he had ever
opposed his potatoship for governor
But he did deny that he was ever a
member of the Diamond Match trust,
which denial has since been refuted by
Alger's own testimony taken from the
records of a court in which that trust
was litigant.
Alger's New York interview will
hardly impress the public as being the
whole truth. He has got himself into
a fix trying to carry water on both
shoulders and is trying 20 prevaricate
out of it. There are fat pickings in the
two years lease that remain to him Of
the war department control. He does
not care to lose them. He has con-
cluded that the secretaryship bird in
the hand is worth more than the M1chi-

THE RATIO OF ILLITERACY.
Statistics from Various Countries of
the Condition of Education
United States Ahead.

Statistics of illiteracy are sought in
continental nations of Europe in the
case of soldiers recruited for service in
the army. Among German recruits, for
instance, the percentage of illiteracy
is IL. Of 1000 recruits, 9S9 can read
and write, II cannot. In Switzerland
the percentage of illiteracy is one-half
of one per cent; in France it is 51% per
cent; in Holland it is a little less-5.40;
in Belgium it is 1875; in Italy it is 3S; in
Hungary it is %, and in Russia it is TO-
There are no authentic figures of an
official or quasi-official character in
Spain showing the illiteracy of army re-
cruits. In Spain, as in Great Britain,
the test of illiteracy is the record of
marriages, from which it is seen that
about 65 per cent. of the population of
marrlageable age seems to be illiterate.
According to the last figures of those
signing marriage certificates in Scot
land the ratio of illiteracy among them
was only 35 per 1000. In England it
was 5S and in Ireland it was 170,
but since then, of course, the general
diffusion of education has further re-
duced the figures, making them APP
proXimate those of Germany and other
countries of the continent. In Norway
and Sweden the army percentage is
nearly identical with that of Germany.
In Denmark the ratio of illiteracy
among army recruits is very little high
er than it is in Switzerland, and in Aus
tria German provinces) the ratio of
illiteracy is very low. In some other
parts of the Austrian empire, however,
Croatia, the Tyrol and Austrian-Po-
land, the ratio of illiteracy is much
higher, bringing it up among army re-
crults generally to - per cent In the
United States 20 per cent. of the popu-

silver RuIeS.

The dependence of prices in America
upon the gold price of silver, in the
case of articles whose surplus COM
petes in London with the produce of
silver countries, is very direct. One
might suppose that the larger market
would rule, and that the gold price
would remain steady instead of being
itself fixed by the silver price. But ii
is not so. "It is not the China or
India price that rises, but the London
price that falls. Merchants find it
easier to buy Asiatic produce at the
old prices and sell it in London at
concession. than to stand out for old
prices at home in order to pay more
to the producer. From this point OF
view. it is really silver that rules the
world. 1t is the purchasing power Ct
the cheaper metal that determines tie

Trusts Own the Republican Party.

The pretense that there can be no is
sue between the two great parties on
the subject of trusts if the republicans
denounce them in their national plat
form next year is an affront to ordinary
common sense. 1t is very doubtful, in
the first place, whether or not the trusts
will permit the republican party to de-
nounce them in its platform. If they do
it will be under an agreement with the
party managers that the declaration is
for campaign purposes only and that it
is to be disregarded after election, just
as the civil service reform resolution
made at ST. Louis in 1896 has been. The
organized wealth of the country-that
is to say. the trustS-Owns the repub-
lican organization. 1t makes its plat

DEATHS DREAD SUMMONS
Concluded from Page One.)

She was not alone beautiful but re-
fined and dignified in the extreme for
one of her years. Returning again to
England she completed her education,
then travelled several months on the
continent with her father, stopping one
winter at Mentone.
The princess arrived back in Homo
lulu on October 9, 1897. She was re-
ceived by the greatest crowd ever seen
on the Oceanic wharf several thouS-
and of whom were natives, eager to
catch a glimpse of their loved Kaiula-
nj, whom they had not seen since she
was small girl. The princess left the
steamer with her father. Prince David
Kawanakoa and others, took car
riage, drove first to her mothers grave
at the Mausoleum and thence to her
home at Waikiki.
Since then her course in Hawaii has
been such as to win for her the hearts
of all people of every political thought.
President and Mrs. Dole and the heads
of the republican movement were
among her very best and truest friends
as well as those who chung to the old
mOnarchial impulse. At each session
of the Legislature a pension has been
voted to the princess, and these tri-
butes of respect and esteem and duty
never met with single word or
thought of opposition from any one.
In December the princess went with
several of her young lady friends to
spend a short time in Manoa valley.
Returning from there she accompanied
Miss Helen Parker to her home at Ma
ma, Hawaii, a place she had often eX-
pressed a desire to visit. While there
she was taken with rheumatism which
early developed alarming symptoms.

ed. The Zealandia left Manila Janu-
airy 20, and stopped on the way at Ma
gasaki. which port she left February
9TH The storm began at noon on the
fifth day from Nagasaki. There was
then clear sky, but the wind had
been steadily increasing from the
westward, and by this time had reach
ed the proportions of Il gale. 1t stead
lily increased in force, bringing tor
rents of rain. The crew was kept
hard at work all the night of the 10th
and all the following day. The second
night of the gale, however, was by far
the worst The matches had long been
battened down and the passengers
kept below. All through the night of
the 9th the captain was dashed on the
deck giving orders to his men. The
waves broke over the ship constantly,
smashing in the house amidships, car
rying away companion ways and bat
tering down the woodwork all over the
vessel. The saloon was flooded and
water was shipped so rapidly that it
required all the efforts of the crew,
assisted by the soldiers who were able
to work at the pumps, to keep the YES
sci from laundering.
Several of the men were badly in
iured, including First Mate Deering
and Chief Pantryman Holloway. Some
of the injured are still unfit for duty.
The ship was running before the
wind when the gale came on, and the
captain did not dare heave her to. The
machinery was of little use during the
worst of the storm, and it was only
with the greatest effort that sufficient
control was kept to prevent the ship
from getting into the trough of The
sea. The storm blew itself out the
night of the 9Th, and the morning of
the I'll, broke clear. Fairly good speed
was made after that to San Francisco
and, beyond the death of the chief
cook, there were no further mishaps.
