ANOTHER SOUTH AMERICAN WAR
CLOUD.

Chill and Argentina are making faces
at each other, and in some quarters the
! fear is expressed that they will come to
blows. In both countries there is a
pretty strong war feeling. Our dis
/ patches yesterday stated that in Ar
/ gentina steps were being taken to put
/ the country on war footing and that
/ Chill was Strengthening her navy. In
Washington, however, where a very
/ close watch is kept on South American
affairs, it is not thought that the pres
ent furry will result in actual hostili-
ties. There is trouble in South America
pretty much all the time. If there is
not a revolution in one Of the Repub-
lies there is a war between two OF
more of them. Only recently the trouble
between Colombia and Venezuela at
tracted a good deal of attention, and
now Chill and Argentina are assuming
such a bellicose attitude that good
deal of notice is being taken of their
affairs in both this country and Europe
1t is an old boundary dispute that is
arousing a war feeling in the two re-
publics. 1t seems that Chill cannot
wait until the arbitrators that have the
matter under consideration make their
report. Several years ago this same
dispute brought the two countries to
the verge of war. The United States
came forward and offered to fix up the
matter for them, but both declined with
thanks Every one of the South Ameri-
can states seems to think that this
country wants to grab its territory
and while they are willing enough that
it should shield them from European
aggression they will not let it take any
part in troubles between themselves if
they can help it.
Chill and Argentina, however, agreed
that it would be wise to let England
arbitrate their boundary differences,
and so they appealed to the British
government for that purpose. In Feb
ruary, 1900, arbitrators were appointed,
and they have been working on the case
ever since. Each country pledged itself
to make no effort to take possession of
the disputed territory pending the de-
liberations of the arbitra tors. The
present war excitement grows out of
the belief on the part of Argentina that
Chilli has broken her pledge. 1t is as
serted that Chill has been cutting roads
across the mountain passes in the An
des into the territory that is in dispute.
Unless she ceases this aggressive move
ment, or shows satisfactorily that she
has not broken her pledge, it is proba-
BILE that there will be hostilities.
Chill ought to be able to show that
she is wrongly accused if, in fact, she
has not broken her pledge 1t cannot
be that she has broken it deliberately.
She understands that if she We're to do
so she would lose the respect of all
other self-respecting nations. There
must therefore be some misunderstand-
ing. Assuming that such IS the case it
is safe prediction that there will be
an explanation that will avert war

A special report telling of Marconi's
success in receiving a signal by wire
less telegraph at st. Johns, N. f.,
from the Lizard, Cornwall, England,
says: "Marconi received the letter S
twenty times" One cannot help Won
dering why, instead of sending one let
ter twenty times, the operator at the
Lizard did not form a combination OF
twenty letters, or less, that would
have spelled distinct message. How
ever. that is a minor matter. The
great thing is that Marconi claims to
have bridged the ocean with wireless
signals, and his claim has been verb
fed from the other side. 1t is a pro-
digious achievement and is worthy of
the opening days Of the new century.
The incident. by the way, serves to
once more draw attention TO the diff
ference in character between Tesla
and Marconi. The former is always
telling about what he proposes to do
before a great while. The latter does
mighty little talking but is able to
point TO results.

The New York Evening Post re-
calls that it was an English admiral,
John Byng, whose execution, on the
verdict of a court martial, gave point
10 the famous irony of "Candide," that
he was shot Ito encourage the others"
Byng was. found guilty simply of
negligence" He was expressly ac-
Quilted of "cowardice or dlsaffection, E"
and the court recommended him to the
mercy Of the King. Yet the articles of
war assigned the penalty =! death for
neglect in a naval officer to do his
utmost" to take or destroy the enemy S
ships. and the sentence was carried
out The Post finds a parallel be-
tween the cases OF Byng and Schley.
The latter, it says, is to be made to
suffer ITO encourage the Others"

Admiral Schley says he will be
guided by the opinion of his friend and
counsel, Mr.. Raynor, respecting any
further action to be taken to clear his
reputation. Mr.. Raynor has express
ed the opinion that the matter should
be prosecuted in the courts" 1t is
possible that he had in mind the in
dictment of Maclay, the historian, "
to regard the finding of the court as be-
ing a vindication of himself and his
History of the American Navy" and
to have declared that he will not cut
out of his book that part in which
Schley is attacked

The employees Of the Michigan Gem
trail Raiload were recently invited TO
vote on proposition by the company
TO establish a service pension system,
the fund to be raised by contributions
from the company and assessments
upon the wages of the employees. The
greater proportion of the fund was to
come from the assessments. The en-
ployes voted against the proposition by
a considerable majority. A similar
proposition was not long ago voted
down by the employees of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul road. The
comment Of the Springfield Republican
is that I'm both instances the attitude
of the employees was that they favor
system Of pensions when others ere
ate the fund, and are against It when
they must create the fund"

1t is said that the Republicans of
the Senate have fixed upon Senator
Hanna to be the successor to Senator
Morgan as the chairman of the Com
mittse on Interoceanic Canals. The
committee. it is said, is to be so thor
oughly republicanized that the Demo-
Gratis Will not be able to claim credit
for any canal legislation that may be
passed. Nevertheless the American
people viii not lose sight of the fact
that Senator Morgan has done more
for an interoceanic canal than any
two other men in Congress.

six-day bicycle racing is very Diff
ferent from what it was two or three
years ago. when each man pedaled for
himself throughout the whole time.
Now the races are run by teams of
two, one man riding while his partner
rests. II is stiil hard work but it is
not the killing grind of the old-time
racing. OF the FIVE teams that won
out In the Madison Square Garden
races the other night, six of the men
had actually gained in weight since
the beginning Of the long distance
ride six days before. while four had
lost slightly The average gain In

the average loss m weight of the four
was 3 pounds. A gratifying incident

A Forensic Humorist.

A late number of the Quarterly
Law Magazine of England contains
some examples of the brusque wit of
the late Lord Morris and Killanin,
Chief Justice of Ireland, that show
him to have been a humorist of rare
quality although not of the refined
library stamp, says the Boston Herald
A lawyer pleading before him said he
should assume that his lordship was
acquainted with the statutes and au-
thorities on public health Assume
nothing of the sort" said the Judge. i
yield to no man in my utter Ignorance
of the sanitary law" Once, when a
prisoner in the dock shouted God save
Ireland. he responded, With all my
heart; but it isS the men who are
shouting God save Ireland!' that make
it impossible for Providence to per-
form that operation" Another of his
sayings was, ireland is not like any
ether island that ever was made; in
stead of hill, it has, like a saucer, a
great hollow in the center of it, where
all the water lodges" That he was not
in sympathy with home rule may be
judged from the remark that he Won
dered why Irishmen who were part
HGIS III d great COl4CSlu int
ness's brewery, with one hand in the
till, should think of breaking away
and setting up a little shebeen of their
own"
Barry O'Brien's Life of Lord Russell
of Killowen" makes breezy reading
Here is characteristic anecdote de-
scribing the great Irishman's brusque
manner on occasions:
How do you do, Sir Charles? I
think I had the honor of meeting you
with Lord"
What do you want?"
'Well, Sir Charles, have endeavored
to state in my letter."
Yes, have your letter. and you
write very slovenly hand"
The fact is, Sir Charles, I wrote
that letter in a hurry in your waiting
room"
Not at all, not at all You had plen-
ty of time TO write fegfble note, No;

There is rumor in Washington that
Secretary Long will not accept Admit
raj Dewey's minority report on the
Schley case, in so far as it gives Schley
credit for the Santiago victory and
says the glory should be his. 1t is
pointed out that such expression is
entirely outside of the precept and
that in making it Dewey transcribed
his instructions. The department, it is
said, did not ask to whom the credit
should go, as it had already made up
it's mind on that point, and had paid
Sampson large sums of bounty money
as the victor in that engagement. The
suggestion is that Secretary Long will
return the finding to the court, with in
structions that the last paragraph of
the minority report be eliminated.

Ever since Mrs. Maybrick was sent
to prison for poisoning her husband the
British Home Secretary has been bonn
barded from this side of the ocean
with petitions for her pardon. And
now he is being bombarded with SINH
lar petitions for the pardon of Miss
Eastwick, the Philadelphia woman who
forged a railroad bond for 100000. If
there were less of this abnormal senti-
mentality for American criminals in
English Jails, and healthier sentiment
in favor of furnishing criminals in our
own country without fear or favor, as
England does those who commit crimes
within her jurisdiction, it would be bet
