HOW the Artist Was Called.

When Henry s. Watson, the illustrat-
or, landed at Naples, he did not know
much about European travel. He had
to make some sketches In the villages
about Naples, and his experiences have
filed him with wonder enough for a
lifetime. His deft pencil helped him
bit. At one little village inn he tried
to get it through the landlords head
that he was to be called early In the
morning. He couldn't make himself
understood. At last he drew a picture
of himself lying In bed, the sun peep
ing through the window, the clock at
the hour of G and the chambermaid
knocking at the door. Then 1t was
quite plain, and they woke him on the
tick.-Saturday Evening Post.

remains uncompleted at the end of nearly
two years. She is going through with the
job but at surprising and very heavy
ccst.
But England on the sea has for scores of
years been the power invincible. Britannia
has ruled the wave. She has spent great
sums in taking and holding that place. but
even greater may be demanded. She can
not afford economy in that line of expendi-
ture now. Other powers are building ma
vies. and II hers ceases to be first it will
presently be nowhere She must keep at
the head of that procession so far as Eu-
rope Is concerned, or suffer serious conse-
quences. Her people therefore may well
be angry at hearing that so important
station as the Medit terranean is not in first
class order.
But wiser thing than lecturing Lord
Charles Beresford for sailors buntness
and lack of discretion would be to heed his
counsels and put everything in the proper
shape. England may be sure that he did
not give away much to any of her
lynx-eyed rivals.

South American market nearness has
helped us considerably, and to some extent
in certain countries prejudice in favor of
the republic has been a factor. But Europe
has noted the chance offered for an inva-
sion of the southern continent and is sys-
tematically drumming up trade there, so
effectively in places as to threaten the
foundations of our supremacy.
Mr.. William e. Curtis. In his recently
published work the western coast of
South America, tells of the superiority Of
the ubiquitous German drummer He notes
the signs of danger TO the American trade
to be seen in this steady encroachment and
urges more active policy on the part of
our exporters. Other writers have shown
the same danger. and it is one ef the most
persistent pleas of our consular service that
the American exporters be more enterpris-
ing in the presentation of their goods. The
time was never so pressing for liberal ex
Europe is considering plans for protective
trade coalition. and even though the scheme
of a general anti-American combination
should fail the agitation Of the subject is
certain to embarrass the American pro-
ducer in his fight for the foreign market.
While Europe considers consolidation the
American manufacturers and exporters
should do some uniting on their own ac-
count and organize series of trade exposi-
tions in both hemispheres, along with
chain of travellers competent to voice the
merits of the American goods In all lam
guages. Combination is a game at which
both sides can play

The English Navy.

The following paragraph appears in the
London correspondence Of the New York
Tribune:
THE state of affairs in the Mediterra-
mean fleet is causing much concern 1t is
well known that several naval officers have
addressed strong remOnStranCeS to the ad-
miralty in regard to the strength and war
organization of the squadron, but Lord
Charles BereSfordS ) action in making his
communication public is not approved Of
The reply of the admiralty secretary in the
house of commons last evening with regard
to Lord Charles letter conveys an indirect
censure on the popular rear admiral, and
some of his friends fear that it may lead to
his resignation. Whatever course Lord
Charles may take, the attention of parlia-
ment viii be called to the deficiencies
which it is alleged exist in the Mediter-
ranean squadron. especially in the matter
of torpedo boats.
Lord Charles Beresford may have been
guilty of an act of indiscretion, but he
probably treated of but little in his COM
munication which was not already known
in the chanceleries OF Europe. England's
rivals watch her with sleepless eyes. They
make 1t point particularly to note her
every movement on the sea, where her
strength Is; and we may be sure that if
her naval establishment in the Mediter-
ranean or elsewhere is not now in keeping
with her past record or her present re-
quirements her rivals are aware of the
fact from their own observations and in
vestigations. 1t is a custom, which upon
its face looks none too WELL and has led
to some shameful transactions. for nations
to spy upon one another's fighting outfit
both by land and by sea; and greater curl
osity OF this nature exists about England
just now than about any other frst-class
power.
The reason for this Is the astonishing
disclosures about her army organization
growing out of the South African conflict
She was taken. It is true, somewhat by
surprise. But nothing excuses the short
comings which are now charged against
her in dealing with that situation. She
had no trouble in finding men, and men
wearing her uniform never fought with a
better will; but they were poorly equipped
and pinioned with red tape. and thousands
of them went to their death against a foe
inferior in numbers and unframed in war
What with the proper preparation she
ought to have accomplished in six months

Consul Goldschmidt reports that during
the last four years barely a dozen Ameri-
can commercial travellers have visited La
Guaira. Venezuela the port OF the capital
In the same period scores of European
drummers have secured the field diligently
Despite the disparity the American imports
still lead those from other countries. The
consul does not hold that this supremacy
IS due 10 the absence of the drummers but
he thinks IL is the result Of the superiority
of the American goods. Yet he advises a
more thorough exploitation of our products
In order TO hold the advantage.
This Is the showing and the advice which
practically every American consular agent
abroad has been Offering for the past few
years of the great American foreign trade
boom Our goods have been selling well in
the world markets because they are su-
perior and cheaper. They have practically
sold themselves Our machinery for ad-
vertlsing wares and for conducting the DELI
cate business of fostering trade has not
kept pace with our opportunities In lae

AS result of congressional cheeseparing
the Districts street sweeping force was to-
day dismissed until the new fiscal year
opens with it's fresh appropriation Thus
the city is to be left for a period of four
days without cleansing attention save such
as the elements may bestOw. This is not a
pleasing spectacle. 1t does not comport
with the dignity of the capital city 1t is
not conducive to health. Yet it is unavoid-
able in view of the state of the appropria-
tiOns There is an abundance of money
for this and all other purposes, but SO
closely have the estimates been pruned
that the city is forced into the position of
a spendthrift brought down to his last shil-
ling in the final days of the allowance
period
1t is a pity that Congress is not in ses-
sion to the folly of such legislation
for the District. There may possibly be
rain between now and next Monday in
such abundance to cleanse the streets
But it is unsafe to rely upon the weather
for such a purpose, which so closely af-
fects the public health. Time was. not
many years ago. when the street lighting
appropriation was based upon the almanac
provision being made only for a certain
number of nights when the moon was
scheduled to shine. In consequence when
clouds obscured the moon the city was III
darkness. Public Indignation was finally
aroused on this score and the appropria-
ticn was extended to give Illumination
eN cry night of the year whether the moon
ShOne or not.
Congress ought to he persuaded next win
ter to follow this lead henceforth in the
street cleaning appropriations. Money
enough should be granted to permit a daily
cleansing of the streets throughout the
year, without reference to the weather
chances. If the season be wet let sur
plus accumulate. 1t can be absorbed into
the general fund far more easily than the
city can provide FOR the emergency of a
long dry period at the close of the fiscal
year with the funds exhausted.
The dismissal of the cleaners for these
few days without pay means a serious loss
to them and one which the Districts legis-
lators should be ashamed to cause. Con-
gresS has no reason to be proud of such
economy, and it is to be hoped that this
deficit will be so strongly brought to the
notice of the committees next session that
a radical departure from the old manner of
appropriating for this purpose will be ef-
fected- Washington cannot afford to coun-
tenance any such pennywise- pound foolish
method of management.

Two serious railroad disasters have al
ready been reported this week One WAS
caused by an open switch. the other by
the collapse of a trestIe. the foundation of
which had been undermined by the heavy
rains. In both lives were lost and the prop
crty destruction was heavy. Both We're
avoidable, as far the reports have dis
closed The switch was left open because
some employe blundered in his orders or
neglected his duty. The undermining Of
the trestle could not perhaps have been
prevented. but 1t could have been dis
covered in season with such minute track
inspection should be made after every
storm. The damages which the courts
award To individuals when lives are lost
and injuries are inflicted in these rail-
road accidents do not appear to be heavy
enough to persuade the corporations to
adopt radical measures of precaution

signal blocks would ensure a more reliable
