ROOSEVEtT'S WEAKNESS.

The Washington Post is a Roose-
welt supporter since the Philadelphia
convention. but it has no confidence in
his executive ability. 1t believes that
if he had been president in 1898 he
would have invaded Europe with a fleet
in search of Cervera's squadron.
(which would have been a display of
stupendous folly, unsurpassed in his
tory"
This is exactly what, as assistant
secretary Of the navy, she urged upon
the president with all the earnestness
that characterizes his strenuous ma
ture.''
There are scores of things, accord
ing to the Post, which would make his
succession TO the presidency a national
calamity. He pays attention to small
matters and overlooks those of vital
Importance.
Roosevelt is brilliant and agrees
sive,' says this Washington contem-
porary, but the qualities that he most
conspicuously lacks are those which
come first in the equipment of safe
president of the United States in
troublous times"

The sun gives some figures, based on
the statistics taken from the Wall

issue of The Herald
THE amount Of dividends to corpor-
atoms trusts, banks and combinations
of canitaD paid out in New York on
Julv 1 was S107,57057S, and to this
should be added $5.0OO,Oo3, which was

PRINCE CHING'S MANHOOD.

The death of Prince Ching, as an
nounced in yesterdays dispatches, if
true. will be generally regretted
throughout the civilized world. He
seemed to be the only decent member
of Chinese royalty. When the en-
press: the pretender, and all the lead
ers were up in arms violating the laws
of war and incidentally 'stabbing each
other in the back, Prince Ching de-
manded safety for the representatives
of foreign governments and then, at
the head of his troops fought for their
security and safe conduct from the
scene of conflict.
Ching was the head of the Tsung-
Li-Yamen, the Chinese foreign office,
and the commander of a garrisoned
force in the capital He was man OF
yreat personal influence, but his wise
counsel had little effect on the balance

This is $50 900 more than the city gov

Rod Of 1899, or an increase of $4,000 a
month i'm operating expenses
The administration started the year
with "A balance on hand OF 65,119-5l; its
current revenues have been $197 1915;
il now has an overdraft approaching
Sl5O.0 and it has yet to pay six
months more of current expense.
The expenses now are at the rate of
S12O.OOO a year more than in 1898. while
the revenue so far has been $4,000 less
than 1t was during the first half of
1899

administration would reduce operating
expenses before it asked the people to
entrust it with the disbursement Of
$3.50 coo of borrowed money. Instead,

mand approval of S250,000 bond issue,
