Mistaken for a Woman.

A story is told Of Cardinal Gibbons,
of Baltimore, and Archbishop Ryan,
Of Philadelphia. regarding an incident
that took place while they were enjoy.
ing a day at the seachore togethe
during a recent heated spell. says the
Saturday Evening Post. They had
run down to Atlantic City. and on ar.
rlvIng made themseles known to
none, but went to a bathing house in
cog
Clad in the shapeless bathing suits
that are furnished hapless strangers,
they soon issued forth. with a shape
less straw hat tied tightly down upon
the head Of each.
II is needless to say that they did
not look as dignified as is their wont
when they officiate at some high ser
vice. but the enjoyment Of the stu
alton was not a whit the less on that
account.
BY an odd chance the strings Of the
cardinals hat were red, and the arch
bishop chuckled at the aptness of 1t.
ANY one can see that you are a car
dinal," he said.
And any one can tell you are an
archbishop, because here you are
bathing in an archiepiscopal see," re-
torted the cardinal. finishing the SEN
tenee in a splutter. for at that moment
a big breaker caught nm full in the
face.
But not an observer took them for
either cardinal or archbishop. In
spite OF their shapeless costumes, how
ever. there was something distinCle
in the appearance of the two men
something in their faces or manner
that marked them as being persons
of standing. aud it so happened that
some of those in the throng that hud-
died along the beach gazed at them
with mild curiosity.
One homelike countrywoman. evil
dentlyson her first seashore visit. was
especially interested in watching the
two men. who were enjoying them
selves with constantly increasing
gayety.
At length the dignitaries heard her
say critically to her husband in what
she thought safe aside: ~s -

From the San Francisco Chronicle
It appears to be the intention OF the
president and the congressional lead
ers ON both sides to secure, at the CON-
ting session Of congress. definite action
looking to the construction Of the Mic
aragua canal by the United States gov
eminent. This is as it should be.
There has been discussion enough, and
with the report of the present commits
sion congress will be fully informed.
We need the canal. It is within our
means. The public has fully made no
its mind to build it. II is now time to
legislate definitely and begin work
It is to be hoped that Great Britain
will smooth the way by consenting to
the formal abrogation Of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. Its retention would be
of no use to Great Britain. for it would
never stand the strain Of deadly war.
War abrogates all treaties. On the
other hand, Great Britain might do
herself a great deal Of good by an act
which is not only friendly but reason
able. Il is best for the world that N
American isthmian canal should be
solely under American guarantees. II
it is not, there is danger that in some
future generation there may be q war
for such control. No international
agreement which is not founded on
mutual interests is safe. Sooner or
1oA@ x,-;1v hA ThAro In
no desire on the part of this country to
levy discriminating tolls in the canal,
and IL there were, our engagements
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica would
prevent 1t. We should willingly make
such engagements with those countries
as they would naturally desire in order
to prevent their territories from be-
coming the theater of war, which we
are entirely unwilling to make with
any European nation. It Is best that
this be settled as an American Ques-
ton.
There is one thing in both the Clay
ton-Bulwer and the Hay-Pauncefotg
treaties to which the Chronicle has
frequently CAllcU aItcullOu, WuiCu 10 a
matter Of vital importance to Ameri-
cans and which has never yet received
the attention which It deserves. Our
greatest interest In the canal Is as an
aid to coastwise trade. It Is by that,
especially. that this coast is to be
benefited. We desire 1t as q check on
the over-capitalized transcontinental
railroads. This does not concern for
eign nations. which are not admitted
to our coastwise trade. But the natural
Interpretation Of those treaties IL such
as to absolutely prohibit our favoring
our coastwise trade by any reduction
of tolls to vessels engaged in 1t. This
must not be allowed to remain in that
shape. We do not know what We may
wish to do In this matter In future
years. and 1t is absolutely essential
the We be not hampered by any treaty
engagements In regard to II.

At various times islands to the mum.
Der OF about sixty have been taken
possession Of by the United States.
Some Of these were formally abandon.
ed, but rs to others they seem to have
been relinquished merely because their
values had become exhausted. The
matter is Of interest as showing that
before Sulu had been thought OF as q
possibility under the jurisdiction OF
the United States other islands upon
which slavery existed had been
brought under such jurisdiction, and
the question OF constitutionaiity never
raised. Discussion Of this matter has
led to peculiar discovery.
There are two islands, Jarvis and
Bakers, midway between Hawaii and
the harbor of Page PagO. These were
claimed in 1856 by American citizens,
who followed legal procedure in no
tifying the government and filing the
required bond In 1858 the islands
were slSllco IaC " oIotOS ShAR
st. Mary's, and Captain Davis, in the
name of his government, hoisted there
the American nag. For twenty-five
years the United States was represent
ed and recognized as the original
claimant Since then, by some pro-
cess not explained, England has taken
these islands, and they are mapped rs
British. In 1889 English vessels
cruised the waters of all that region
and picked up all the islands that
came in view.
Originally the ownership of Jarvis
and Bakers might have been of little
importance, but under existing cir
cumstances it may actually become IN
international question. The United
States, having gone extensively into
business in the Pacific, may need the
islands, either for coaung or cable
stations, and If such need arises there
will be no hesitancy in making the
demand. England can't have our is
lands il we need them.

THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE.
by the House Committee
Having II in Charge.


The House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce had a meeting yester-
day and discussed the bill making an ap-
preparation for memorial bridge across
the Potomac, connecting Arlington with
the city of Washington. There were
present before the committee Colcne AL
len, Corps of Engineers. U. S. A, and As
sstant Engineer Warman. of his Office;
Frank Hume, w. II. Burr, Andrew b.
Graham. and James E. Clements
At the request of Chairman Hepburn
Colonel Allen gave a brief review OF the
status of the memorial bridge project. in
March. 1899, Colonel Allen said, Congress
appropriated $1,000 to secure plans and
estimates for bridge. The matter was
then referred to a board, consisting of
three army engineers aid two architects,
who invited plans and estimates from
four of the most distinguished bridge
architects in the country. upon competi-
tion. The plans were submitted. together
with seventy or eighty drawings.
The board awarded the prize for the
plan to Mr.. W. II. Burr, of New York.
The plan has been approved by the Chief
of Engineers and Secretary of War. The
bridge is to be sixty feet wide on the
roadway, with two sidewalks twenty-four
feet wide, and is estimated to cost 81, $780,
000, with approaches.

committee not being present, the bill went

pose and power OF the Government to
maintain the gold standard has been
greatly strengthened. The result is that
geld flows toward the Treasury instead OF
away from it, At the date of this report
the free gold in the Treasury is larger in
amount than at any former period in our
history Including the s150.000,000 reserve,
the gold in the Treasury belonging to the
Government amounts to over s242 100000.
while the Treasury holds, besides. more
than $3.50 000. 600, against which certifi-

That provision of the act which liberal
lied the conditions of banknote issue was
also wise and timely.
Nevertheless, the measures referred to.
