TUESDAY, JANUARY 9. 1900.
Mr.. Beyeridge Speaks.


True to his pregnant promise. Mr.. Bev-
eridge of Indiana delivered his maiden
speech in the Senate today. Its impor-
tance to the country and to posterity had
been frankly foreshadowed by the gentle
man himself, through his home organ;
and when he rose to begin his remarks
amid the breathless silence of a chamber
wrought up TO a painful pitch Of expec-
tation, he made it plain that the effort OF
his life had been undertaken solely from
a sense of the high duty he owed TO the
nation and history-a duty which had been
as evident to others as himself. For, as
Mr.. Beveridge explained in his eXordium,
he had been requested to deliver the ora
tiun not only by statesmen on both sides
of the Senate, but by members on both
sides of the House Otherwise. We ven
ture to infer that the innate modesty and
tendency to self-effacement which so pleas
antly characterize the rising sun of the
Wabash would have robbed the nation OF
q noble and voluminous treat.
Yet the occasion was not without an ele-
ment Of depression to thousands who have
hooked forward to and counted upon it. as
one upon which the ancient glories Of the
American Forum were to be restored.
Not but that Beveridge did his part ad
mirably; but there were ocult evidences
that the conspiracy TO keep him down, as
a luminary Of dangerous lustre and of
which the indianapolis Press has given
timely warning was silently and sinuously
at work. Thus, it is to be feared that the
large number of requests from which the
speech resulted, could not have come from
ingenious sources. Whether they did or
not it was gloomily apparent that no large
delegation of the petitioners was present.
and it was also in evidence that the wild
and surging crowds of diplomats and citi-
zens, representing the court, the bench,
the army, navy, militia, and civil service,
as well as the beauty and wealth of the
Capital, had failed to connect. Indeed,
neither the floor nor the galleries were CON
spicuously crowded, and most Of the peo-
pie who expect TO be instructed on the
questions and conditions Of the Philippines
as understood and reviewed by Mr.. Beyer-
idge will have to buy, beg, borrow, or steal
a copy Of the Congressional Record"
1t is to be regretted that the beginning
of the eloquential millenniUm-the Web
sterian and CalhOunian resvrrecIion--wa
not attended better; but such cften is the
fate Of those whose towering greatness is at
once the fear, the admiration, and the
envy of small colleagues and men. But
even envy and jealousy viii be palsied be-
fore the soundness OF the Beveridge argu-
ment, 10 which We have ventured TO give
currency in advance. The Senator believes.
with all good and patriotic Americans, that
the Philippines. having been first won for
US by Dewey, and then bought for US by
Day; having finally come over by solemn
treaty, consututionally ratified, are, and OF
right ought to be, ours.
Henry Clay. in his most soaring flight of
oratory, could not have said more. Bev-
eridge has broken the ice. Let those who
fear bin, and especially Fairbanks, be-
ware!

We are again impressed by the contrast
between public excitement and war fever
in Germany, on account of the British seiz-
ures, and the calm course of the Kaiser's
Government as well as the placidity with
which Lord Salisbury saws wood and says
nothing" 1t looks suspiciously as if there
were quid pro quo loose in the lot some
where, and it might be that German naval
programme. Once Wilhelm gets his little
bill passed, perhaps We shall see behind the
scenes.

THE NEW TORPEDO BOATS.
An Extension of Time Granted the
Contractors.


The Naval Board of Construction has
granted the request of the torpedo boat
builders for more time to complete their
contracts. The reason assigned is the dlt-
fcu1tv experienced in getting forgings from
the steelmakers. The steelmakers have
submitted statements alleging inability to
control the matter and putting the blame
on the people at the mines. The raw ma
terial cannot be procured in sufficient
quantities to meet the demands made upon
the steelmakers.
Another feature influencing the authori-
ties is the lack of facilities for taking care
of completed craft of that class. There are
no means of housing or otherwise protect
ing torpedo boats when they are not in the
water. The department has not even
touched the $150,000 which Congress ap
propriated last year for torpedo boat
barn." to be erected at the Boston navy
yard, and which was planned to accom-
modate fifteen or twenty boats.
Chief Constructor Hichborn is in favor
of a number of structures at different
points so as to distribute the stations of
the boats along the coast, making them
accessible in time of emergency. The idea
department. although no steps have been
taken to use the money now available to
build one storage house. 1t is likely that
the torpedo boats will be delayed fully
one year and perhaps two years.

A Husband Dies of Grief.

of Mrs. Hilinda Long was being lowered
into a grave in Fairmount Cemetery. a
messenger on horseback galloped UP and
informed the mourners that her husband,
John D. Long, had just died. The body of
Mrs Long was placed in receiving vault,
and later two caskets, containing the re-
mains of husband and wife, were lowered
into graves side by side. Long was a
civil war veteran. While he was i'll last
Thursday, at the .sofdier's Home in Kear-
ney, the news spf BIS wifes death was
brought to him. The shock prostrated him,
and he died of grief.

Typhoid Fever Raging.

WAYNE, Pa, Jan. 9.-The residents of
Wayne are alarmed at the appearance OF
typhoid fever, thirteen cases of the dis
ease having already occurred in small
district on the southwest border of the
town within the last few weeks. The
matter was brought to the knowledge Of
the State board Of health on Friday. The
disease is said to be due to an infected
water r1Iup1v.

BY inviting DR.. Leyds, the Boer diplo-
matte agent, to court function, and show
ing him distinguished attention, Queen
Wilhemina of Holland has seriously af-
fronted Great Britain. The British Minister
has left The Hague on leave. and the
Dutch Minister in London has resigned.
The relations between the two countries
are badly strained.
The evening times., 1900-01-09

The testimony of General Davis. Govern
or of Porto Rico. before the House Insular
Committee. emphasizes the urgent neces
sity for immediate legislation to relieve the
distress from which that American island
is suffering, principally on account of the
cruel oppression to which 1t has been SUBJ
jected by the unjust imposition of the
Dingley tariff upon its productions. Cen
eral Davis declares that with the normal
free trade relations, to which. it will be re-
membered, every part of the national do
main is entitled in its commerce with
every other part. Porto Rico would soon be
supporting and contributing wealth to
the common country. Our treatment Of
this island and its loyal people is dis
grace, which Congress cannot too quickly
wipe out.
