A 3.OOO-NILE RACE.

Great interest is being manifested in
New York In the great ocean race which
will take place between four of the big
gest steamships afloat next week. They
are the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse Of the
North German Lloyd Line. the Deutsch-
land Of the neutrality-suspicious. Line the
New York OF the American Line, and the
Oceanic of the White Star Line, the lat
ter ship being the biggest in the world.
These are about the fastest steamships
that have yet been built They are. in
fact ocean greyhounds. The Deutschland
has made the fastest time between New
York and a European port. 1t is proba-
BILE that the New York is the slowest of
the four, and yet she has made remark
ably good time. The Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse will start on Tuesday and the
other three will start on wednesday. All
of them carry mail for London, and there
is considerable speculation as to which
ships mail will reach that city first The
| supposition would naturally be that the
| one that started twenty-four hours ahead
would deliver her mail first, but 1t seems
that the other ships have certain advan-
tages In delivering the London mail which
have to be taken into consideration.
But there is more interest in the time
that each will make than in the date on
which each will deliver her mail in Lon
don. The ships starting so nearly togeth-
er 1t is probable that they will have
about the same weather conditions during
the entire trip. II seems to be the I'M
derstanding in steamship circles that each
ship will do her best. The talk is that
the race will be a record-breaking one and
will be long remembered in steamship cir

-Onoto Watanna, the only Japanese
writer in this country, is a very rapid
worker. A story of 5000 words takes her
but half day. and a book of 5000 only
week. She is a very pretty young wo-
man, and looks like a Japanese with a
great deal of English blood in her veins
Mr.. and Mrs. Reiff of Findlay, o.,
have just received letter from their son
Lester the Jockey now riding in England.
in which he states that he has made
preparation for himself and his equally
famous young brother Johnnie to go to
school in France when the racing season
is over. The Reiff boys have earned up
ward of 100000 in England and intend to
tit themselves 20 take care of it.
During his rapid march from Riet-

moved on again from Bloemfontein the

A PLACE FOR SURPLUS CAPITAL.

Our exports have now become so
enormous and so greatly exceed our i'm
ports that II Will not be many years
before there will be so much capital in
this country that il will puzzle financiers
to invest profitably. IL is now said,
and the same thing has been said for
years, that 1t does not pay in this coun-
try to PUT money in ships, because ships
do not earn as much as can be obtained
for money in other kinds of investments,
but II the time is approaching when in
vestors will be willing to take a very
small rate of interest, will they not be
bility is they will. They would rather
have their money earning something
than 10 have il idle.
Assuming that such is the case, there is
no need Of the proposed ship subsidy
legislation. By waiting year or two
and the building of a sufficient number of
ships to do the carrying trade Of the en-
dire country will be begun.
It is true that it may be a long while
before American steamships can be run
as cheaply as are those of Great Britain
and some other nations, but in proper
ton as the population increases and the
country becomes crowded. the demand
for employment will increase and then 1t
will be possible for American ships 70
compete successfully with those of any
other nation. There will be no need for
subsidies. If the subsidy plan should be
adopted it would be impossible practi-
cally to get rid of it in half century.
Even now there is work enough offering
to keep several more shipyards than we
have busy. All of our shipyards have
orders far ahead. 1t is worthy of notice
that the President of the Great North
ern Railway is of the opinion that ships
Of the first-class can even now be built
and operated by Americans at a good
profit on the money invested in them.
His railway is building great steamships
on the Pacific coast to be utilized in
trade with the far East If they can be
built and operated on the Pacific coast
they can be on the Atlantic coast It
would not be surprising if the problem
Of establishing American lines Of steam
ships to all of the leading ports OF the

The rare beauty of Miss Abigail Robel

The rare beauty of Miss Abigail Robert
son, OF the state of New York, cannot
be questioned, without contempt to~the
highest court of that state. She is the
only woman living who has the distinc-
ton of having her personal charms af-
firmed by a legal tribunal, especially one
Of such eminence. In passing judgment
in case in which, Miss Robertson had
sued a manufacturer for using her por-
trait for advertising purposes, the learned
Judge said, in part: ''she is undoubtedly
young woman of rare beauty, and this
she enjoys as a private citizen" That
has gone into the records, and will re-
main good law until reversed by as high
or some higher authority-which It is safe
to say will never be done.

A MISTAKEN CONTEMPORARY.

The Charleston News and Courier dis
cusses Savannah's ordinance. requiring
crews of vessels at her wharves to sleep
ashore during August. September and Oc-
tober, just as If Savannah, instead of
Charleston, were trying to get the naval
station away from Port Royal Savannah
is making no effort to get the station
She is rather anxious that it shall re-
main at Port Royal. This Charleston
therefore the motive that causes the News
and Courier to give so much of its val
liable editorial space to the ordinance
which requires crews of vessels at this
port to sleep ashore during three months
OF the year. Has the News and Courier
some particular spite against Savannah
1t would seem so. from the fact that it is
continually calling attention to things
| which it seems to think will injure her.
II Savannah were trying to get the naval
station, or had any prospect Of getting it
under the recent act of Congress, we could
understand the motive of the News and
| Courier.
Perhaps IT is trying to prevent a helping
hand being extended to Port Royal? 1t
IS true that Savannah has some sympathy
for Port Royal in this matter of the re-
| moval OF the station, and something has
been said 10 the effect that the commission
appointed to report on the question Of the
| advantages of Charleston, as a place for
the station, ought to inquire whether
Charleston has plentiful supply of good
I drinking water.
Very little comment has been made on
| Charleston's water supply because there
has been no desire to injure that city
In any way. AS far as we know the COM
missions attention has not yet been call
ed to the reports of the Marine Hospital
Service. published on July q last In a
report from Charleston, dated July "A. II
is stated that from May / to July 1 there
were n2 cases of enteric fever in that
| city generally of mild character. They
| were all Investigated" says the report,
by the city bacteriologist and gave vi
dafs reaction. Active measures were at
once taken by the local health authori-
ties. and with apparent success. II was
soon discovered that the infection was
derived from the water Of the cisterns.'
According to the report eighty-five of the
cisterns were examined, and forty-four
percent. of them were found to be in
fected with typhoid bacillus.
We do not call attention to the fore
going report of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice for the purpose of getting it before
the Naval Commission, but simply to en-
phasize the fact that Charleston's cistern
water is far more dangerous to the health
OF that city than any malaria there may
be along Savannah's river front is to Sa-
vannahs health. Savannah experiences
no trouble from the source against which
her ordinance guards. while the report
from which we have quoted justifies the
suspicion that Charlestons health i.
menaced not only three months of the
year, but all the year around by her wa
ter supply. Is 1t in Charleston's pro
gramme TO ask for a government hospita
If she should succeed in getting the nava
station?

THE ISSUE OF THE CAMPAIGN

There Is not much doubt that anti
imperialism viii be she great issue of
She campaign. It Is becoming clear thot
be. Their newspapers are already hav-
ing more TO say about it than about sill
yer. That Is an excellent indication as
TO what issue the people are thinking
Of
And II must be remembered that the
campaign has hardly begun. Indeed the
leaders are claiming that it has not
formally been begun, and will not be I'M
Ill the candidates make public their let
tiers of acceptance. Still. the issues are
being discussed on the stump and in the
newspapers.
A report comes from the West that in
dicates that the Republicans are becom-
ing uneasy about Mr.. McKinley's pros
poets. II IS that the Republican man
ayers are spending a great deal of money
in buying up German newspapers that
are against Imperialism and militarism.
The Repu blicans will have to have a pref
ty full treasury If they undertake to
silence hostile German newspapers by
means of money. There are plenty of
German newspaper proprietors who would
be glad, in all probability. TO sell out at
good profit. But if there were a Ger
man demand for anti-lmperialistic lit
erature, the demand would be satisfied,
even if the Republicans bought up all of
the German newspapers in the West OPP
posed 10 their party. The demand would
make it profitable to publish antilmpe-
realistic newspapers in the German lam
gusge.
1t may be that there is no foundation
to the report that the Republicans are
purchasing German newspapers which
are against their party. AS a rule their
managers are very shrewd. But it would
be no indication Of shrewdness TO endeavor
to keep the German voters in ignorance
or to deprive them of information. Let
the German1American Republicans get
the impression that the Republicans are
not dealing fairly with them, and they
will turn to Mr.. Bryan by the thousands
in every Western state.
