The Death of n RumOr.

Through the dark and dingy corridors of
the Capitol yesterday there stalked a ru-

rumor of the weird and impossible kind
but one ought not get frightened at a
spooky rumor.
II was said that Senator Stewart would

Stewart has been a silver man since sill
yer was discovered and he was born--the
periods being synchronical-and he has
talked for the white metal on every posi-
bic occasion. Day in and day out he has
denounced the crime of '73, until his de
votion to the cause of silver has become
proverbial.
outstanding this, the rumor showed
its CHASTITY head. 1t was said that Senator
Stewart would
OF course. nobody believed il. 1t seemed
so improbable, so thin, so senseless. Still,
all things are possible, and especially in
the Senate Therefore, Senator Stewart
was approached yesterday by a correspon-

feet.
1T is said. Senator" said the CORE

"Sirw said the Senator drawing him

And the rumor gave an expiring gasp

THE PLAGUE IN MANILA.

If it is true that the plague has obtained
a foothold in the Philippines there will be
scarcely citizen of this country who will
not wish that we had never had anything
TO do with these islands. The reports re-
ceived from Manila are of very alarming
character. There have been quite number
Of deaths from the disease, though it has
not yet btaned firm foothold.
The Filipinos are superstitious, and it is
difficult, if not impossible to get them to
pay any regard to sanitary regulations. 1t
IS doubtful If there are any sanitary regu-
lations at Manila or elsewhere in the is
lands yet and ii is still more doubtful if
it would be possible to enforce them effec-
lively If there were.
The Marine Hospital Service has been
charged with the duty of protecting Ma
Mia against the plague. 1t will, of course,
do what can be done TO stamp out the dis
ease, but it will be fortunate if il does not
find insurmountable obstacles when it at
tempts to enforce its regulations II is
hard enough to enforce sanitary regula-
lions in countries which are thoroughly
civilized. How much more difficult is 1t TO
enforce them among people who have
no understanding of the means adopted
for fighting disease and therefore no ap-
probation of them. If the bubonic plague
is in Manila il is pretty safe 10 say that
it will not be an easy matter to get rid OF
it, The city is dirty and the people can
not be induced 10 take precautions against
1t.
1t is source of some little satisfaction
that the disease does not attack Euro
peans as readily as it does natives in East
ern countries. There is some ground for
hope therefore that our soldiers will not
suffer so very much if the disease turns
out to be the genuine bubonic plague.
The Pacific coast has constant communi-
cation with Manila, and will be in danger
from the disease as long as it prevails in
that city. Strict quarantine may keep ii
out of the Pacific coast cities, though il is
by no means certain that it will. Ii is not
a difficult matter for contagious and infec-
tious diseases TO slip through quarantine.
Let the plague once get a Judgement in
San Francisco or other city on the Pacific
coast and It is doubtful If there is any
science that could prevent it fro, making
it's way across the continent.

SYMPATHY FOR THE BoERs.

The resolution of sympathy for the
Beers, introduced into Congress by Repre-
sentative Quarles of Virginia, will I'M
doubtedly be the subject of some fine ora
torical efforts by statesmen who are anx-
ious to make an impression on their con-
stituents and the country-that is, if the
Republican majority permits il to be re-
ported to the House by the committee
which has it in charge
There is a report III Washington that
President Kruger of the Transvaal Re-
public has asked President Mckinley 10
use his good offices to bring about peace
The request, it is alleged, was received
through our consul at Pretoria. 1t is
doubtful If the President will comply with
it, unless Great Britain intimates to him
that she has no objection to an effort at
mediation, and that she is not likely to do.
1t is the understanding that President
Kruger requested President Mckinley 20
use his best efforts 90 prevent the war
considerable time before the war began,
and That he refused to interfere in any
way. The thought has been thrown out
that under the treaty of The Hague he
could offer TO mediate without offending
Great Britain. AS a matter of fact. how
ever, the United States are not yet
party to that treaty, the Senate not hav-
ing acted upon it. Besides, the United
States at the Congress of The Hague was
careful to have it understood that it was
their policy to refrain from interfering IN
any way with foreign matters.
No matter what the fate of the Quarles
resolution may be, it is doubtful If the
President will NEEDLE in the South African
war in any way that would not be en-
tirely satisfactory to Great Britain. And
if the United States refuse to interfere
it is pretty certain that no one of the
continental Powers of Europe will Great
Britain was wise in standing by the Unit
ed States in the Spanish American war.
She alone of all of the Powers of Europe
understood that the United States were
the most powerful of the nations. and
that their friendship was worth more
than that OF any other nation. The other
European Powers understand that now.
and that is why they are willing to follow
the lead of the United States in che mat
ter of the South African war. The Beers
will get plenty of sympathy. because they
are brave people struggling for their in
dependence, but It is doubtful If they will
get any substantial assistance from any
source.

Hard Phrase to TackIe.

Hanging In che elevator car over at
our place." said a man who lives at one
OF the big hotels according to the Indian
apolls News, "is a card announcing a ia
BILE d'hote dinner a a certain hour. 1t is
almost always subject of inquiry on the
part of new guests. and strange as ii may
s. EN-, it constitutes a fairly reliable indi-
cation as to their places of residence. Dur

something of study of the subject and
have prepared a little schedule showing

ginning of a much wider classification, but

Senator Hanna thinks the dignity reflect
ed upon him by the Senate should protect
him against the inquisitive and laxative
newspapers. 1T is Hanna this and
Hanna that he declares, until you
cannot pick up a newspaper without read
ing my name. They forget that 1 am a
member of the United States Senate-a po-
siton that should carry dignity with it"
Senator Hanna probably himself forgets.
There is no public official in this coun-
try above criticism in the public prints,
no matter whether he be Representative,
Senator or President 1t is not only the
right but the duty, of the newspapers to
watch the public men, to sound them on
public matters, and to report what they
are doing and saying, and even what they
are thinking, If that, too, can be ascer-
tanned. The only public man who is proof
against adverse criticism is the one whose
record and actions are above reproach.
Neither senatorial dignity nor senatorial
courtesy will prove armor to the man who
is vulnerable.

When the time to pay came a hole had 10

During the holiday recess, says the
Washington correspondence of the New
York Mail and Express, the new members
of Congress who remained in Washington
made frequent visits TO the White House,
many of them going there to show the
house to their constituents who came to
visit Washington for Christmas. Among
these was Senator Foster, of Washington
who is spending his first winter in the cap
ital The cold weather necessitated the
closing of the big storm doors at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, and Senator Foster, af-
ter showing his friends through the house
found some difficulty in opening the portal

big door for a few moments, one of the
ushers noticed his struggles, and going up
to the door, said:
Excuse me. Senator, but you do not
seem to know the rule regulating the doors
of the White House. 1t is simply this. You
pull to get in, and you push to get out,
and, suiting the action TO the words, the
usher gently pushed the door, which the
Senator had been pulling, and opened 1t
for the Congressman and his party TO pass
out The Senator thanked the door-keep-
er, and laughingly said
