perialism as an issue in England will mean
something different from the same term
as used in our country. There the Empire
IS already an accomplished fact and the
tmperialists are those who would make
enormous sacrifices to maintain and ex-
tend the Empire; who would. in fact de-
vote every energy toward a government
over alien races at any cost The opposi

Chamberlain has been cxerting himself
to induce the Cabinet to take advantage of
the situation in the ranks of his opponents
TO dissolve Parliament and bring on a new
election. 1t is plain that he is sensitive to

All in the Parliamentary debates. but
under it all there turks an uneasiness
which will require a vote of confidence of
the people to dispel. BY reason of the
dissensions in the ranks of the Liberals it
is believed that IL the election of a new
Parliament were held in the near future
the Ministry would secure a very large ma
jority- Besides, no one can positively
know when revulsion may occur in Brit

compel REIMBURSEMENT of effort in South
Africa, and compel q withdrawal of a sub

Again the famine in India, which is more
or less gingerly treated by the organs of
the Government. may be forced into more
prominent notice. and in time the public
may be brought to conclude that this

less than its cost in blood and treasure.
Perhaps the best thing for Mr. Chamber

RIVAL RANGE FINDERS.
4 Clash n to the Use OF Lewis and
Rafferty, Devices

The Army ordnance officers are cndeav-
oring to Introduce - the coast fortihca-
tions a new range finder, but there may
be serious obstacles to this scheme for
putting out the invention of an artillery
officer, Lieutenant Lewis, who is said TO
have offended them by his criticisms.
The Chief of Ordnance ISSUED an order
replacing Lewis range finders of type B.
now at coast defence sites below sixty feet.
by Ran srty finders "as fast as they can be
purchased. The Lewis finders. which
have been called in, viii be available after

commanding the Depar tment of the East.
inviting attention to this decision of The
War Department, concluded with this par
agraph:
IN the event that it is necessary or de-
sirable, for any reason unknown to this
department, to retain the instruments tenn
pOrarily at any particular post, the ORDER
for their shipment viii be withheld until
such time as the instruments can be
spared"
1t is possible that the War Depar.nen+
will not be able to secure the Rafferty,
range finder. II is the invention Of Capt
William c. Rafferty,. First Artillery. well
known as an expert in artillery matters
and graduate of the artillery school of
1881, and now on duty at Fort San Jacinto
Texas Some time ago Captain Rafferty,
applied FOR patent upon his range finder
His application was denied, however, on
the ground that his device was an in
fringement upon the Lewis patents. This
will make IL difficult to secure a manufae-
turer of the Rafferty, finder. and may block
the plans of the War Department to sub
stitute the Rafferty, invention for the Lewis
one.
The Board e Ordnance and Fortifca-
tions, as long ago as April, 1899, having
under consideration the subjects of an
emergency type position finder. decided
that. both the Rafferty, and Lewis instru-
ments complied with the service require
ments, and the question as to which should
be procured the board thought must be
determined by the cost" The Lewis
range finders cost $500 each, and the Raf-
ferty finder costs $500.

Circulation Statement.
The Murder of King Humbert.

There does not seem to be any doubt
that the assassination Of King Humbert at
Monza yesterday was the work of the or
ganized anarchists Of Europe. who are
especially strong and active througho Il
Italy. 1t is impossible TO understand what
they expect to gain by the crime. II is
true that the kingdom is in terribly bad
way, both economically and socially. II is
taxed and rack-rented, monopoliZed and
robbed by officials. national, provincial,
and municipal from end TO end The ne es-
sity 20 keep a large standing army as the
price OF membership in the Triple Ali nee
alone has driven the country into practi-
cal bankruptcy. and It's people are noto-
riously oppressed beyond any other civil
lied community on the continent.
Yet IL is beyond question that the MUIR
dered ruler was helpless to reform these
conditions. which he inherited or which
were imposed by political circumstanc s
impossible for him TO control As far as he
had been able Humb9rt did try to ame-
liorate them. He gave the larger part Of
his civil list in works Of charity and pub
lie benefit. He lived with Spartan fiu-
gality, considering his position. for the
closing decade of his life, and set an ex-
ample of honesty and economy which il is
a pity his OFFICIAL countrymen have not
more generally followed.
Personally the dead King was a popular
character. He was an able and fearless
soldier and earnestly devoted to the good
and glory of Italy. His death will not
change conditions as far as the Italian
masses are concerned. except for the
worse The iron rule which has been i'm
posec upon the cities and provinces Of late
years will not be modified as a result Of
his assassination, and the people who plot
ted and executed il will find that they have
made the lot of the submerged class only
the harder by the crime.
Victor Emmanuel, who succeeds to the
crown. is not generally regarded as a
strong character, and the chances are that
he will not impress his individuality on
the situation 1t is possible however, that
his reported lack Of vigor and force. if his
critics are correct, may serve to make il
easier TO reach REORGANIZATION between
the Vatican and the Quirinal that has been
so often attempted without success. II the

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
Hill and Croker Hnrmoni.ed.-Hf

Hill and Croker HarmOnixed.-Hill
and Croker have been brought together by
Chairman Jones. Vice Chairman Stone and
other members OF the Democratic National
Committee who have been in New York for
several days. and as a consequence the bet
ting odds OF the Presidential election al
ready have been hammered down in Wall
Street from five to one to three to one in
favor OF Mckinley This is on the gem
eral result The betting on New York has
not yet taken form. This is considered one
Of the most significant signs of the cam
paigl. The sudden drop in the odds, how
ever can be regarded as an Indication Of
the immediate effect which the-TeconciIia-
tion of Hi! and Croker has had upon the
situation in New York State as viewed by
the Wall Street gamblers. IN common with
the Democratic national managers they be-
lfeve that the Empire State can be carried
for Bryan ana Stevenson If Hill and Croker
want TO carry Il that way. A poll of New
York city proper, made yesterday by a
newspaper, shows a change In the vote Of
the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx
Of about &c per cent from Mckinley to
Bryan. Estimating upon this basis, that
part Of Greater New York will give Bryan
and Stevenson a majority of about $4,000
II Croker and Hill have effected = working
arrangement, as there is every evi-
dence TO believe. the vote in Brook
lyn and the other boroughs ought TO
bring the Bryan majority up to more than
l25,OCO, for il must be understood that a
political partnership between the master of
Wolfert's Roost and the Tammany chief
tain carries with il the harmony of the
Mclaughlin forces in Brooklyn and the al
lied hosts throughout the enlarged city.
This prospect, then, reduces the situation
to Hhl's liking and makes IL incumbent
upon him to send the Republicans down to
Harlem with a majority smaller than that
which was rolled up for Mckinley four
years ago. If he can hold them down 10
100000 the problem viii be solved.
That Hills State organization can do this
is not doubted by the national managers.
AT any rate, il seems certain that they
are gcing to depend upon him to do it. The
arrangement made by Messrs. Jones. Stone.
and others cOntemplates a harmonious di-
vision Of work along the old lines and a
corresponding division OF responsibility. In
other words, if Hilrs State organization
does not make the proper showing the
fault will lie wholly at the door of Hill
If the city vote does not come up TO expec-
tstion the fault will be Croker's. With
respCnSibility thus clearly fixed and the
eyes OF the National Democracy fastened
upon the two leaders. il goes without say
( ing that each can be depended upon 70 do
his level best to deliver New York's cleo
tcrli vote 10 Bryan and Stevenson. Fall
