Marine Conference Delegates Discuss
Prevention of Collisions.
The American delegates to the interna-
tional marine conference. Rear Admiral s.
R. Franklin. United States navy: Captain
John w. Shackford, w. w. Goodrich, Mr.
Clement A. Griscom and S. l. Kimball, met
at the bureau Of navigation yesterday to con-
slider the proposition to modify in several
particulars the rules for preventing COLI
sions at sea in far they relate to
lights on fishing vessels.
The changes relate particularly to trawl-
ers on the North sea. In SO far as they
relate to American fishing vessels the
changes proposed are in accord with the
views of those most directly interested.
After some discussion the delegates de-
termined to ask Congress to adopt the
proposition which originates with Great
Britain. The enforcement of these rules If
adopted by Congress, will be conditional
upon their adoption by the other principal
maritime powers as the intention is to Sc
cure greater uniformity in the rules to
prevent collisions at sea.
The American rule for lights on steam
pilot vessels is also to be made the inter-
national rule.

Middies Want More Tickets

Apropos of the ArmyNavy foot ball game
to be held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia,
on Saturday, December !, there is said to
be much dissatisfaction among the naval
cadets on account of the distribution of
tickets
The field and appointments are given to
the cadets Of both the military and naval
academies by courtesy of the University of
Pennsylvania. Last year 6,0O0 tickets were
sent to the Naval Academy authorities for
distribution among the cadets. The number
proved sufficient the cadets received
eight tickets apiece, and the rest of the
seats. amounting to about 1900 were used
by officers and their families This wear
1900 tickets We're sent to the academy and
the authorities have granted the cadets but
four seats apiece, about 200 tickets in
all, keeping the remaining 6.3GO themselves
The foot bal! team is supported almost
entirely by the cadets, who pay SIG each
for expenses. while the officers pay but 81
each. The small number of tickets received
by the middles from the abundance in the
hands of the authorities has caused great
embarrassment to cadets. particularly those
who live in the east. All the classes made
protest which was of no avail, and the
cadets feel indignant at the treatment they
have received at the hands of the academy
authorities.

Proposed Purchase of Two Islands of
the Philippine Archipelago Con-
ventiOn Signed Wednesday.

Considerable interest is taken in the dis
at yesterdays meeting of the Spanish cab
met that the convention between Spain and
the United States ceding the islands of
Cagayan and Sibitu to the United States for
the sum of 100000 had been signed at
Washington IN the 7th instant. Because
the cession of the two islands in question
must be ratified by the United States Sem
ate before it takes effect, the officials Of
the State Department positively decline to
discuss the matter. Still, the fact is not
concealed that the transfer has been ar
ranged, as far as the executive branch of
our government can effect it. A statement
to that effec: was published in The Star
about two months ago.
The State Department officials feel that
they are fully armed to meet any opposition
that may develop in the Senate to the ceS-
sion. They regard the islands absolutely
necessary to complete American sovereign
ty in the Philippines. Lying, as they do, to
the southwest of the main group of islands,
and in one of the most important channels
of communication it would. in the eye of
the department., be most dangerous course
to allow them to fall into the hands of an
other power, and thus constitute a perma-
nent menace to American sovereignty in
the Philippines. There has never been any
question that the islands belonged to the
Philippine archipelago. But they were ex-
cluded from the original ceSSion by the geo.
graphical boundaries laid down in the
treaty, and If they were not acquired by
the United States to round out our holdings
in that quarter would surely pass into the
possession of some maritime power, in pur-
suance of the Spanish policy of surrender
ing her entire Pacific possessions.

TELEPHONE TIDES.
Mysterious Rise and Fall in the Num-
Der of Calls.

Mysterious Rise and Fall in the Num-
Der of Calls.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
It's very curious how talk GIBBS and
flows over the wire" said a New Orleans
telephone girl. Low tide is at 80 in the
morning. Around about that time several
minutes will sometimes elapse when nobody
in this whole big city is using the phone
When you come to think about it that is
something very remarkable. Between / and
o'clock the calls will average from 100 to
$50, rarely more: but, for some reason 1
was never able to understand, business al
ways picks up between and Sin fact, it
nearly doubles. Then, for equally mystic
rious reasons, there is another hull, and the
hour between 3 and is almost as quiet as
between l and 2 l have often tried to
figure out some theory for those two Gu
rious fluctuations, but have never even hit
upon one that was even plausible.
After 4 o'clock, however, there is
steady and continuous increase in the
stream Of talk. We girls who have been
in the exchange a good while get to know
exactly how the city wakes up. The mar
ket men head the procession, and then fol-
low the different trades people and clerks
and office employees according to the neces-
stiles of their various callngs. All Of them
use the phone more or less and it is very
curious and Interesting to watch the grad
uations by which the community settles
down to its days work. By o'clock the
lush of traffic has become something ire
mendous, and it grows by leaps and bounds
until 1t reaches a climax at 10. From 8 to
10 the calls will often exceed 1000. Then
there is slight falling off, becoming more
marked as he day advances, and between
1 and nine-tenths Of the business phones
have subsidized. But, oddly enough, the resi-
dence phones at that juncture suddenly
take up the tale, and their heaviest bus
ness is between and 6. 1 suppose the bus
mess folks are through then with the main
for long-distance gossip. Throughout the
early evening calls don't vary much one
way or the other. and, with o'clock, they
begin to dwindle steadily down to 80
which, as I said before, is extreme low
water mark.
How mary calls can a girl attend to in
an hour? Well, 1 have made connections
for 800 talks between and 10, exclusive of
the numbers reported as busy.

Cascade Falls.

from the chicago tribune.
Cascade Falls, situated in the heart of
Osceola, Wis, is said to be one of the most
beautiful waterfalls in existence. Although
not quite as large the famous Minnehaha
Falls, they are just as pretty, and are sit
uated amid more beautiful scenery. The
Cascades are about fifty feet high, thirty
feet WIDE and more water flows over them
in day than passes over Minnehaila IN a
week. The water rushes down through the
glen, which Is narrow canon lnc.1Sed by
two massive rock and clay walls 25J feet
high. Large oak, elm and Eastwood trees
cover the sides of these bluffs. and also The
bottom of the glen. The glen Is some 200
feet wide by thirty rods long, aud finally
opens into the broad and swift-nowing wat
of the St. Croix river.
Just south of the glen rises bluff $50
feet high, upon whose sides crude, winding
paths lead TO the highest point IN me ST.
Croix valley. Standing on top of this bluff
a man can look for ten miles eastward over
a broad forest of golden, purple, scarlet and
crimson leaves; to the north he can see the
st. Croix winding. snakeike, noisless.y
through the famous Dallas and carrying
millions of logs to their doom: and TO the
south he can gaze at the seemingly endless
prairie, dotted here and there by groves Of
oak and maple. while at his feet IN one side
rushcs the Cascade Falls and on the other
fsintly weeps the Bridal Veil Falls over a
precipitous clin.

New Theory of Colds.
From the London Mail.

Did 1t ever occur to a sufferer from what
is called IAN influenza cold' to ask why
that unpleasant visitor suspends its atten-
lions to a very large extent during the
night?
Thus writes M D." to the Daily Mail
He points out that the running at the nose
entirely ceases during the hours Of dark
ness. and precisely for the reason that
they are hours of darkness, and the actinic
rays affect those organs which cause the
fluX. A cold of this kind is proverbially
worse in the evening, for the simple reason
that the rays of artificial light are more
pungent than those of the natural lumi-
nary.
1.-THE deduction from these premises" the
doctor adds, lis that the sufferer from an
influenza cold should. in conjunction with
any other remedies. remain in partially
darkened room during the day. and retire
to bed ere the evening lamps are lighted
These subsidiary measures. which may be
properly grouped under the generic term of
'actinic, win be found to supplement In
the most satisfactory manner the action of
