At Last-A Mouse .

The executive of this State has at
last written reply to the letter of
Gov. Van SAINT of Minnesota, regard
garding cooperation to restrain inn
pending railroad consolidation, under
the control of the Northern Securities
Company, a corporation lately formed
OF the leading capitalists of the coun-
try.
The letter is not very satisfactory,
however, merely stating that the mat
ter had been referred to the Attorney
General by the Executive to ascertain
his power in the premises. Whether
that officer has exercised due diligence
in his investigation or is scapegoat fol
Executive delay, is not known, but il
does seem that he has had enough
time to express an opinion upon the
very plain provision OF the State Con.
stitution for enabling the Legislature
to guard against monopolies by appro.
pirate legislation.
The Tacoma News declares that ga
man close to the executive circle in
Olympia has intimated that the Gov.
ernor and his friends are making a
quiet secret canvass of the legislative
members. If found favorable to the
community-of-interest consolidation,
an extra legislative session might be
called; if unfavorable, the Legislature
will not be convened"
This may be true or untrue, but Ger.
tain it is that for q man who claims
to he friend of the farmer, he has
been exceedingly tardy and reticent.
In delightful contrast are the immedi-
ate replies Of Gov. White OF North
Dakota, Gov. Toole of Montana and
Gov. Geer OF Oregon, all of whom are
jealous in forwarding the object Pre-.
sented by Gov. Van Zant.
Let us hope that the Attorney Gen.
eral will not longer keep the Execu-
tive in leading-strings.

G.. II. YALE's Devils Auction" with
something like 80 people and enough
scenery to fill several theaters, played to
a good.sized house last night, and al

AFREAK OF NATURE.
Artist La Farge's Impressions of
HaWaii's Lake of Fire.

7dWaliS Lake OF FITG.
There is now only vapor; sulphur
Gus fumes that float up and obscure
the distance, and go up into the skies.
But as the twilight begins, fires come
out, and the space is edged with fire
that sometimes colors the clouds of
vapor. At one side a small cone stands
up that burns with an eye of red fire.
From time to time this opening spits
out to one side little, vicious blotch
of fire. The clouds of vapor rise so
as to blur the distance, but near by
the rocks are clear enough, and
either black, or farther off where they
are greenish yellow with sulphur.
Sizes become uncertain. / could swear
that this lake was a thousand feet
feet high; but Awoki and the guide,
walking along, reduce the lake to real
proportions. Then it is only a small
lake of some hundred and fifty to two
hundred feet, perhaps. But the i'm
preston still remains-all is so
thrown out Of reference. The hole is
so uncanny; the sky above, purple in
the yellow of the afterglow, and partly
covered with the yellowish tone of the
hellish vapor, looks high up above US.
I sit (and sketch on the absurd rocks.
and then we wait for something to
happen. 1t has become night; we de-
termine to give up hope of the break
ing up of the lake. and we start. We
have lanterns, but gradually these goI
out and we have only one that has to
be cherished, and we scramble along.
By and by we halt, and looking back
see greater lights, and the guide says
that the lake has broken out Still
we are disinclined to return on the
chance, for the vapors exaggerate
everything; and after much scramble
ing we get back to the edge of the
CRATER, after a seven hours tramp.
AS we go up the ascent the fire seems
larger, and our host and the guides
say that there is some breaking out.
Still we are in doubt; we are disap-
pointed and tired And still I should
not go back unless the most extraordi-
nary confagration occurred. Besides
the underlined terror and spookiness
of the thing, there is great boredom.

Full Rights Are Denied the Race IN
King Georges Realm.
Whatever may have been the con
nections between Greeks and Jews III
mast. the points of contact between
them at the present day are com
paratively few, for the Jewish popula-
ton in the kingdom of King George
appears to be not only small, but
stationary. It's numbers, which ID
1891 were given at 5,722, are returned
in 1901 as $500, or net increase OF
eight in ten years. Smallness OF
numbers need not affect the natural
interest which English Jews feel in
their Greek brethren, and aprtlcularly
English Jews, for it was largely
owing to the efforts of the British
government that Greece became an
independent kingdom. Moreover, the
fact that the Ionian islands were a
direct gift from this country to Greece
intensifies the interest of English
Jews in the fate of their brethren in
that part of the Greek kingdom. 1t
is true that the handful of Greek Jews
have no legal or state. made dis
abilities like the Jews of Russia and
Roumania. In principle the fullest
equality obtains But in practice,
even so ardent an apologist for the
Greek government as DR.. Belief has
to admit that it would be pre-
posterous' to argue that "the Jews
actually enjoy in Greece full rights
When the premier of country
publicly declares that all Jews ought
to be put back so years it is idle to
contend that the Jews of that country
are emancipated in fact, whatever
they may be in name The truth of
the matter seems to be that in enamel
pating the Jews the Greek authorities,
like the authorities in France, were
considerably in advance of the senti-
ment of the people as a whole. This
popular backwardness found brutal
expression in the ritual excuses some
years ago-excesses which drove Jews
away from the Ionian islands, where
they had once enjoyed the fullest
liberty under the British, and whose
effects have even now not entirely
anished. 1t seems as though the
long enslavement- of a people tends to
crush out it's ideas or liberty, and TO
make of it a tyrant when it in turn
becomes free. The case of Roumania,
perhaps, is a much more striking illus
tration of this than that of Greece.
STILL the decorations conferred by the
Greek government on several Jews
may betoken the development Of a
better feeling toward the Jews. In
the ordinary course Of things it would
only be natural to anticipate the
evolution of the ideas of a people like
the Greeks in the. direction of liberty
of thought and freedom of conscience.

WRONG MEN CALLED DEAD.
Shifting of Cards Causes Temporary
Grief in a Harlem Home,

Grief in Harlem Home.
Husband dead; claim body" or
words like those formed the message
sent to Mrs Emma Crapp, of No.
2177 Fifth avenue, yesterday from
Bellevue Naturally she wept a little
to think that her Frederick had left
her forever; then she telegraphed to
relatives to come to her; then she
went to an undertaker's shop and

and then she returned home.

dead man that ever lived. Guess
again" And he slammed the door be
hind him.
In truth, Frederick Crapp was not
dead. A mistake had been made in
entrance cards in Bellevue, that was
all
Crapp was removed from his home
on Friday night, where he had become
suddenly insane, to the prison ward of
Bellevue. Soon after his admittance
Frederick Hoffman. of No. 100 First
street, who had attempted suicide by
taking carbolic acid, was admitted.
Hoffman died in IA minutes.
Crapp soon became so violent that
he disturbed the other patients, and it
was decided to remove him to the in
sane pavilion. AS the attendants ar
rived with the stretcher other helpers
reached the ward with box to take
Hoffman's body to the morgue.
But somehow the entrance cards
were shifted, and that bearing the
name Of Crapp was sent with Hoff-
mans body to the morgue and notice
of death was sent to Mrs. Crapp. AS
the undertaken had known Crapp in
life, he realized the mistake when he
saw Hoffman's body.
But Mrs. Craps doorbell is likely
to be kept jangling by friends who
call to condole-New York Press.

ABOUT MACLAY.

We are not surprised that "Histor-
ian" Maclay refused TO resign, for
more reasons than one. First of all
his astounding impudence could be
relied upon to assert itself in any
emergency and under any set OF cir
cumstances. In the second place. 1t
must be plain TO him, as II Is to every
body else. that the demand for his
resignation was meant to make a
scapegoat of him.
Maclay Is but an underling-a cheap
and nasty appendage and tool Of
others. AS a 'laborer" employed In
the Navy Department he never would
have had the hardihood to accuse a
Rear Admiral of cowardice and failure
to discharge duty unless he had sug
gestion. support encouragement, from
men in authority. When confronted
with the first storm OF mitigation
that his libel of Schley called forth,
his plea in abatement was that he had
submitted the proofs OF his book to
Secretary Long, to Admiral Sampson
and to Admiral Crowinshield. and that
they had been approved by all of them
This was strong. Endorsement from
those high In authority.
Under the circumstances we can
hardly blame Maclay for refusing to
resign. Why should the poor little
creature he scourged when his masters
and prompters were unwhipped? Why
should he be turned out in the cold
world and Long kept in the Cabinet?
II Maclay must be dismissed for being
plain blackguard. why are not Samp-
son and Crowinshield hailed before a
court martial for conduct unbecoming
officers and gentlemen? Why trample
on the worm and permit the bugs to
fly?
The people OF the United States
don't care a tinker's dam for Maclay
or anything he has said or written.
1t is the Endorsement and approval
the virtual adoption-of what he
wrote, by the secretary OF the Navy,
the Chief OF the Bureau of Navigation,
and Rear Admiral Sampson that made
Maclays work Infamous. We can see
no reason why the ak should be cast
into the waters while the men who
welded the ak are not summoned to
justice
President Roosevelt must dismiss
Long. He must send Crowinshleld
and Sampson before court martial.
Anything less will not satisfy the
American people. The President, nor
nobody else. can degrade Maclay. 1t
is hut tanning national outrage to
bother with him.

out to ruin the reputation of Admiral
Schley, and 1t certainly has left
nothing undone to make its effort sue
cessful. 1t has pursued him with per-
tinacity and vindictiveness. Nobody
believes that the findings OF the major
ity of the Court of Inquiry are sustain
ed by the evidence. The people un-
derstand that the findings were In
reality based on other grounds than
fact or justice.
With the American people the
opinion of Admiral Dewey will weigh
more tnan the action of the majority
of the court. Dewey has not, himself,
been a favorite with the naval au-
thoritles. He was put on the Asiatic
station to shelve him, and II was only
chance that gave him the opportunity
to win his great naval victory and
write his name high on the list OF the
great admirals of the world. Very
probably he has feeling of sym

thing like similar treatment of him
self by the same people.
But surely neither political consider
ations nor any other considerations
should be allowed to stand in the way
of giving justice to Admiral Schley.
The American people cannot afford
