The Suspected Person Finally Went 10 His

Bathing at midnight is the latest fad
down at Narragansett Pier and it was
initiated Saturday night.
A party OF eighteen. including Mr.. and
Mrs. Wales III. Dunham, Mr.. and Mrs.
Corliss, Mr.. and Mrs. Kenworthy, Mr..
Tanner, Mr.. and Mrs. Vredenburg, Miss
Cohn and young Mr.. Stump, were sitting
in Sherry's Casino at IL o'clock when Mr..
Dunham made the suggestion that they
all take a plunge in the ocean at mid
night.
The idea was at once adopted. Sher-
ry's bathing pavilion is closed at o'clock
but the services OF Mr.. Louis Sherry were
enlisted and he opened the pavilion at
midnight. The party went TO their re-
spective hotels, changed their evening
for street dress and assembled at the
pavilion.
All took a plunge In the surf, and re-
mained in the water or on the beach for
an hour. Supper followed at the Glad
stone. Saturday night and early Sunday
morning IL was very warm and close In
addit'si bright moonlight gave the bath
ers plenty of light. Should the weather
continue warm the fad will become pop
ular. There will probably be many night

The Work OF Congress.

In the current number of Golfers
Weekly Senator Frye has an article on
the work performed by the Fifty sixth
congress- He shows with what respon-
sibilities our national legislators were
confronted when they came together in
December last, and gives an outline of
what has been accomplished since that
time Six months ago congress found
that the treaty with Spain had invested
us with the title to the Philippine archi-
pelago and the burden of maintaining
Cuba entrusted to our care until 1t
should be ready for an independent gov
eminent. Both Hawaii and Alaska were
demanding some form of government
and laws by which internal affairs
might be regulated. Increased activity
in industry called for larger volume
standard of values. The experience OF
the war had taught us that a merchant
marine was a military as we'll as a COM
merclal necessity.
One of the most important measures
passed with the idea of meeting the de-
mands of the hour was the financial
act. This fixes the gold standard; pro-
vides that all money shall be main
tained at parity of value with this
standard; for refunding the public debt
with per cent. bonds in place of those
bearing higher rate Of interest: for
the establishment of banks with S25,-
600 capital in small cities and towns.
Between the date of the approval Of
the act and May /, bonds bearing in
terest al the rate Of 8. 4 and per cent.
were refunded to the amount of over
$3.50. 900, 900, which resulted in a net saw
ing OF interest to the government Of
| 81, 664 454. There have been to date 24+
applications for permission to organize
national banks with small capital, and
| the total OF applications of this sort. to-
gether with those asking the privilege
OF converting state into national insti-
| tutions Is $50.
The Puerto Rican bill provided that
| the United States duties should be paid
on all imports into that island from
countries other than the United States;
that merchandise passing between the
| United States and Puerto Rico and vice
| versa should pay Is per cent OF the
| duties now levied by the United states,
| but that all articles which have been
| imported into Puerto Rico free Of
! duty under military order shall con-
| tlnue on the free list. All revenue SO
| collected is to be used for the benefit
| OF Puerto Rico. and all collections from
| importations from the day Of evacua-
| ton in 1898 are to be used for the relief
o. the Puerto Rico people, public educa-
ton. public works, etc. In reply to the
criticisms passed upon this legislation

San Francisco has at last taken steps
that should have been taken two and
a half months ago. The Chinese section

Some Other Nay.

The one fixed policy OF the Demo-
cratic party, which is that everything
Republican must necessarily be wrong,
has its most amusing illustration In the
decision of the party caucus at Wash
ington to vote against the anti trust
amendment agreed upon by Republican
members, and TO vote for n Democratic
antitrust bill instead. Should their bin
fail of adoption, as II Is sure to do,
then they will. from motives Of policy.
support the Republican measure. Their
action was foresha lowed some time ago
when the judiciary committee reached
its decision TO report the proposed
amendment; and their attitude was held
up 10 mereiless rldicule by the New
York sun in this witty paragraph:
The Democratic members OF the house
judiciary committee are saddened and
even ecandalized by the Republican anti
trust constitutional amendment and anti
trust bill They have put their hands IN
a minority report that gIows with the
lovely warmth OF virtue against a remedy
for trusts which. they say IL prescribed
by partisan and political considerations
They don't want Republican remedy
however searching.
Don't patronixe the shop over the
way" the Democrats yell to the country:
'the only real genuine. Simon pure. in

This instance Of the Democratic de-
termination TO do things some other
way is merely funny. But the dispo.
siuon behind II leads the way to blum
ders and TO crimes, 1t is so In the mat =
ter OF the Philippines. No Democrat

ally tributaries to foreign lords. IL Is
against this that they rebel; and their
revolution, which aims at nothing less
than the complete throwing of or the
foreign yoke and the restoration OF
conditions forever persisted, is not likely
to subside until 1t has been broken and
beaten to pieces by military power.
The situation presents new and grave
problems for solution by the nations.
With infinite difficulty have they so far
suited each others greed and jealousy
as to agree upon a partial partitioning
that did not bring them into collision.
II the movement Of the Boxers is as
persistent as 1t is general. the work be-
fore them is nothing less than the con-
quest Of all China. the abolition Of even
a formal government. and the assump-
ton by them of actual control instead
of a suzerainty exercised through ma
tive officials. That so vast trans
formation can be accomplished without
discord and actual clashing among the
nations whose interests as well as their
ambitions are now involved so deeply
may be doubted. For any one Of them
to pacfy and rule China would be a
comparatively easy task To act in har-
monious conjunction for that end is not
far from the impossible.
The province OF the United States In
what appears to be a crisis is clearly
marked out. We must protect the lie
and property of American citizens who
are threatened. and exact a stern ac-
counting IL injury comes to either. We
must demand the continuance of all
commercial privileges that are accorded
to us now. We have taken the initiative
In landing troops to safeguard Ameri-
can interests. In any operations except
those that are necessary TO the defence
of already established rights and the
protection of our people, we will take
no part We want no share in Chinese
territory, and our place will be among
the spectators as this last act in the
long drama of Chinese history draws
toward its close.
