her safely through many emergencies.
His editorials on the situation were,
by Mr.. Dana's orders, transmitted by
wire to the New York Sun, and ap-
pearcd simultaneously with their pub
LEGATION in the Dispatch, and it was
doubtless owing in large degree to
the sentiment thus created that the
y. 7. bonds could not be negotiated
and Jay Cookies banking house, which
carried the load, went into bankruptcy.
Very few OF the present citizens of
Seattle, who reap the benefit OF results
that flowed from his mighty leader
ship, realize what potent factor he
was in determining the fate of that
wonderful city. The spirit of battling
against difficulties might have existed
as fully as was demonstrated, but we
do not believe that it would ever have
attained the magnificent success it did
without his mighty influence.
The opinion of Mr.. Brown expressed
by Edward Clayson, in tribute to his
memory, finds cordial response in
the heart OF the writer. He says:
" His virtues were many, his errors
were few. He was both a good lover
and a good hater. Consistency was
indeed jewel with him. His greatest
misfortune was in being truthful. His
truthfulness was disastrous to himself,

THE U. S. SENATE IN A QUANDARy.-
The U. S. Senate were caught mapping
Saturday morning, when Senator AL
lens resolution extending sympathy
to the Beers came up for considera-
ton. The attendance was small, and
those present seemed to have been up
late, or for some other cause quite
"snoozy," and the resolution was put
to vote and declared adopted. Then
there was dismay! Senator Allen ap.
peared to be the only member who
was thoroughly enjoying the situation.
The yeas and nays were demanded.
Allen objected rs the vote had been
declared. The chair sustained the OBJ
lection, but suavely asked the Senator
that he permit tho vote to be recon.
sidered 60 that the resolution might
60 over for consideration. Mr.. Allen
consented and the Senator breathed
somewhat easier.

when war comes is to permit its ene-
mics free use OF the canal OH equal
terms with itself. Nay, more, it is
not to fortify its property and is con-
sequently to leave it free to seizure by
any superior naval power with which

it wars with Great Britain, or any
other stronger naval power, the canal

Our COUNTRY THE WORLDS MAR.
KEr.-Andrew Carnegie was the guest
OF honor at dinner given by the Lo-
tus Club, in New York, a short time
ago, and in a speech he said: "The
future of the English-speaking race is
not to be found on the shores of the
Tweed or the Thames, but OH those OF
the Hudson and the Mississippi; the
future of shipbuilding will not be
found on the shores of Britain, but on
our Atlantic seaboard. can see moth
ing to prevent this country of ours
from becoming the chief source OF
supply of steel. and the articles made
from steel, for the remainder of the
civilized world" And had he turned
his eyes westward the field of his hori.
scope would have been greatly en-.
larged and its magnitude extended.
There is no part this country will
play in future greatness wherein the
Pacific Coast will not be the central
figure. Our resources are cast on too
high scale for them to be ignored in
the race for supremacy.

Instinct Versus Science.

With the Indians of this our north
west coast, the remarkable character
OF our present winter is only another
version of the old saw, eve told you
So"
1t is quite generally known that so
far back as in the latter part of sum-
mer, the Indians of Western Washing
ton were unanimous in their predic-
tions as to the character of the COM
ing winter. They all declared that
we should have mild weather and lit
tie or no snow. When rallied for a
clue to their strange fore.knowledge of
coming events, they pointed to the
idle squirrels that were gathering
neither hazelnuts nor fir cone seeds,
and to the lazy woodpeckers that
were storing away no grubs in the
trunks OF decaying trees.
"Nanich okoke kwis-kwis," said the
aged bucks and kloochmen to the old
settlers who could talk with them,
"pee choke ko-ko-stick; mika wake
mamook muckamuck klaska ma
nook he-he konaway sum-" Or in
King Georges" lingo, See yonder
squirrel and that woodpecker. they lay
up no food but play all day long"
So much for the untutored savage
who draws his conclusions from the
instructive operations of the lower an
imals around him. And now as if in
scientific confirmation of all this
lowly prophecy, there comes the con-
current reports of ship-masters navi-
eating the north Pacific ocean routes,
that from some cause of course un-
known to themselves, the Japan cur
rent" has recently assumed quite an
unusual DETECTION towards the north
western coast line of the United States
and British Columbia. SO here is the
so-called instinct OF humble animal
life mutely publishing, months in ad-
vance, weather forecasts which hui
man wisdom failed to discover.
1t is now as plain to be seen as was
the Columbus egg-trick that the heat
laden Japan current is, after all, the
physical producing cause of our pres.
ent mild winter. And it is equally
plain, too, that the white man got the
early news of what was to be, from the
red man while the red man filched it
from the squirrel and woodpecker
But what Agassiz. Huxley or Spencer
will now arise and tell us where Mes
danes Squirrel and Woodpecker got
their information?

Outside the Constitution.

A matter that seems to be troubling
our Republican neighbors considerably
just now, is just how to adapt the CO.
lonial policy they have adopted as a
leading principle with the plain SIM
pie Republican tenets embraced in
the traditions left by the founders of
our government. The question which
has arisen in connection with the leg
islation for Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines, is the meaning of the
term United States" when applied to
the foreign dependencies. The Ways
and Means committee of the House
lately had lively tussle on this ques-
ton, and as might have been expected,
the full Republican membership with
a single exception, lined up voting
that the term "United States" as
used in the constitution, did not apply
to the late accessions to our national
domain. They further held, that
Congress has unlimited power to deal
with these new possessions as colo
MES, with codes of law independent of
those Of the United States.
The vote shows that the Republican
party is ready to commit itself to the
colonial system. Favoring the plan
were Payne, of New York; Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania; Hopkins, of Illinois
Grosvenor, of Ohio; Russell, of Con-
necticut; Dolliver, of Iowa; Steele, OF
Indiana; Tawney, of Minnesota, and
Long, of Kansas. These men include
the recognized Republican managers
in the House and the opponents of the
Administration.
The full Democratic minority of
the committee, headed by Richardson,
the Democratic floor leader, voted in
favor of proposition that the term
Omitted States" as used in the Con-
stitution embraced all territory over
which this government has jurisdic-
ton. Mr.. Richardson quoted decis-
ions of the Supreme Court to main
tain this proposition. Those who
voted for this proposition fairly repre-
scented the Democratic and independ-
ent strength in the House. They are
Richardson, of Tennessee; Swanson, of
Virginia; Mcclellan, of New York;
Newlands, of Nevada, and Cooper, of
Texas.
At the same time the committee
gave definite evidence of carrying out
this colonial policy by favorably re-
porting a bill fixing a tariff of 25 per
cent. OF the Dingley rates on products
exported from Porto Rico, instead of
free trade, for which the Porto Ricans
have been asking.
