Daily Freshets.

The most people who live in the
temperate zones, the annual freshets
oecasioned by the melting of the win
ter SHOWS and by the unusually heavy
rains of spring are a matter of ia
miltar observation. Under a higher
latitude and in the neighborhood of
glaciers, other phenomena are to be
studied. An English traveller in Alas
ka has the following to report about
the rivers of that country: The TAX
henna, like most streams of glacial
origin, was subject to daily rise and
fall. The distance of its sources caused
the water to increase in volume and
in sWiftness from noon to midnight
after which 1t continued to decrease
from midnight to noon. The daily rise
measured from six to ten inches, ac-
cording 10 the heat of the weather: the
daily fall measured from five to eight
inches during the time the fine wealth
er lasted. After few days of cloudy,
rainy weather, | found the river fall
ing from day to day about as fast as
1t had risen during the fine weather.
1t is worthy Of remark that during
fine weather l invariably found the
wind during the daytime In the Chill
cat valley blowing up from the sea. It
began in the forenoon with a gentle
breeze, which gradually increased to
smart gale. that died quite away by
sunset. During the night there was
either no wind, or else it blew in the
contrary direction. This regular move
ment of the atmosphere no doubt has
much to do with producing the regu-
lar daily rise and fall of the river.

brotherhood,

Brotherliness. that is the keynote u
Christian conquest. Nothing less can
solve the problems Of our or any day.
Those problems, how confusing. how
weary we sometimes become, and how
helpless. The laborer. the immigrant,
the tramp, the war questions and ..
host of others. Those confront US on
every hand. and they not only ask. bua
command that We shall consider th0m.
We may laugh. but whether We laugh
or cry or shrug our shoulders. they
stalk before our eyes. Take the Labor
question. There are the capitalist. ths
employer and employees. How shall we
measure just what proportion each
should receive? The brotherhood of
man will solve these questions.-Rev.

The Commissioners yesterday received
from F. C. Stevens, President of the United

lowing letter, relative TO the furnishing
OF ere lights for street lighting:
Replying TO your favor of the 2Sth inst
in relation to electric arc lighting for the
fiscal year 1901, this company is advised
that inasmuch as the rate OF sT2 per an
mum for each standard arc lign; prescribed
by act Of Congress, approved June 5, 1900
is materially less than the actual cost OF
furnishing the lights, said act is uncon-
stitutional and unenforceabie.
The company, in consideration of the
public convenience and in its desire TO
maintain harmonious relations with the au.
thorities has decided to furnish the light.
al the rate prescribed, II called upon 10
do so, until Congress, upon fuller examine
ton of the subject, shall take such action
as IL shall deem consistent with Justice.
But the company does not understand that
it is under obligation TO enter into any
formal contract for the performance of this
service. and still less into contract con-
tanning Specifications whicc increase the
cost TO It OF the service furnished mate
rally above that cost as II existed at the
time the act Of Congress was passed, and
which increase in cost it must be assumed

ton of the company under consideration,

quilted of the charge of obtaining money
| under false pretences by jury in Crimi-

The specific charge against the accused
was that some time in May last he Sc

Der of a local committee organized 10 ten
der a reception to the representatives OF
the South African Republics, who visited
Washington during the month of May. The
committe, which was composed of about
forty members. had adopted badge. From
the testimony offered by the Government
it appeared that the only thing which Nc
Kenna did which could be construed as
constituting false pretetca was the wear
ing Of one Of the committee badges.
An important witness for the prosecu-
ton was Capt. Patrick O'Farrell. the
treasurer Of the committee, organized to
receive and entertain the enyoys from
South Africa
The cross-examination Of Captain O'Far-
rell by Attorney d. W. Baker, who repre-
scented McKenna was the source OF much
amusement 10 tne spectators. hiteT US
tifying that he was treasurer of the Re
ception Committee and that MckenIa was
not a member of the committee, Captain
O'Farrell was asked by Mr.. Baker: Were
you born in England" The captain re-
piled that he was not. He was then asked
If he was born in America and he an
swered: mo. was born in France" This
raised a ripple OF laughter which the
court was called upon to quiet. Mr.. Baker
then asked Captain O'Farrell If he is
member of the Anti-Imperiaiistic League,
but Ashley II. Gould, representing the
Government, objected to the question on
the ground that he would not submit to
having the witness reputation impeached.
This practically ended the testimony and
Mr. Baker moved that the court instruct
the jury to return a verdict of not guilty
against the defendant on tie ground that
the prosecution had utterly failed to sus-
tain the charge of false pretence made
against him. After hearing argument on
the motion Justice Clabaugh granted the
motion and the prisoner was discharged.
