Spanish writers regarded the flower as the emblem of crueifction, finding in the five anthers the five wounds, in the three button-like stigmas the three nails, in the corona the five crowns, in the five petals and five sepals the ten apostles then present, in the digitate leaves the prosecutors hands, and in the tendrills their Iscoufages.

 Uncle Sans soldier boys, whether they are engaged on peaceful garrison duty in the United States or hiking" after the willy Filipinos through the swamps of Luzon, or wherever they may be, deserve the best care that can be given them, and it is the duty of our government to see that they get it. It is to this end that the war depart ment has just appointed a new chief nurse of the army to succeed Dr. Anita &cwcomb MeGee, who has until now held the position.
 Surgeon General Sternberg has for several months been seeking m efficient successor to pr. McC;ee, and he has found one in Mrs. Dita II. Kinney.

sNashington,s Death Rnte.

The Marine Hospital Service has been
trying to discover the healthiest place
in the United States. Some of the sta
tistics which have been gathered in this
attempt are now made public, with the
result that Washington appears to have
the highest death rate among the large
cities OF the country.
Among States, Ohio has death rate
of 1884, and Arizona and Colorado own
to 25.2s and BPS respectively. The
death rate of New York State is 1886.
That of Washington is PHI. New York
and Philadelphia have the same record.
1885, and Chicago's is l4.6S.
There is an old proverb about statisti-
cal lies; and the proverb Is true. An
argument based on the appearance of
statistics is very likely to be fiimsy, for
the conditions on which death rates,
birth rates, and like averages are
made are likely to be somewhat com
plex and varied. In this case, for ex
ample, it would be unfair to consider
Colorado or Arizona the most unhealthy
parts of the Union because of their
high death rate, because this is sobvious-
iy affected by the number of incuTable
consumptives who go there only 10 die.
1t is also easy to see that a State
in which there are many large cities
stands a chance Of having a greater
number Of deaths, in proportion to
the population, than one which is
sparsely populated, because the crowd
ed conditions Of the cities make life
there less healthful than in the country.
In the case of Washington. moreover.
there is another factor to consider. 1t
would be unfair to consider this city un-
healthy as compared with others of its
size, because it has considerable pop
ulation of people past middle life,
drawn here by the peculiar attractions
or necessities of the Capital Some OF
these citizens are in the employ of the
Government, others nope 10 be. still
others have Independent fortunes and
choose to live here. There are few
other cities which have so large class
of residents who own homes, but are
not engaged in any business. The chill
dren of this sort of people are apt TO
be grown and living in homes of their
own elsewhere; and the city is. as a
whole. increasing in population through
immigration rather than through an in
creased birth rate This means that the
proportion of people past middle life is
larger than in other cities, and this
naturally increases the death rate. 1t is
also augmented by those who are not
residents. but only temporary inhabi-
tants

AN INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
Capt. u. f. TiIiey, U. s. N. Charged
With HabituaI IntOxicatIOn.

Officials of the Navy Department were
surprised yesterday at the receipt of re-
ports from Tutuila. Samoa, in which COM
plants were made OF the conduct of Capt.
! benjamin Franklin Tilley commandant
of that station. 1t is alleged that on
more than one occasion the commandant
has been seen under the influence of
liquor. and that his conduct was unbe-
coming an officer The following state
ment was made public yesterday:
Frank w. Hackett, the Acting Sec
retary. has directed the commander-in-
| chief of the Pacific Squadron to proceed
to Samoa to ascertain the truth with re
gard to the charge, and, If necessary, to
hold a court for the trial of Captain TIL
ley.
The department has detached Captain
Tilley from command of the Abarenda
and of the station and ordered him to
proceed by the next steamer 10 San Fran
cisco from TutuIla.
The charges. it is proper TO say, were
received by the department With surprise,
since the record of CAPTAIN RILEY has
hitherto been unblemished. The admins
tration of his office as reported officially
from time to time has been eminently
satisfactory. There has been no ground
for supposing that this officers conduct
was otherwise than what it should have
been"
Captain Tilley was born in Rhode Is
land. and entered the Naval Academy
from that State in September, 1863, grad
uating III 1861 He was promoted to ensign
in 1868, having served his first year in
the navy on the Franklin, flagship of the
European feet, and the steamer FrOlic.
He was commissioned as lieutenant in
lSll. For three ycars-1SI3 to iSI5-he was
attached to the Pensacola, flagship of
the South Pacific fleet. From 1873 to
1851 he was attached to the Naval Acad-
eTnY instructor.
He was promoted to lieutenant COM
mander in 1881 and was placed on ord
nance duty at the navy yard this city,
where he remained during 1889 and 1880
He was commissioned commander
in September. 1896. and after
serving at the War College from July to
October. 1897, was placed in command of
the United States steamship Newport,
which post he held until sent to his pres
ent station. on September % of this year
he was promoted TO be captain.
Captain Tilley, since being placed in
command of the naval station at Tutula.
it is said, has given satisfaction to his su-
periors. He has been regarded as an ex-
ccllent officer. No charges have ever
been made against him previous to those

West Virginia Central today. No changes
were made in the directorates. william
H. German was elected president Of the
first mentioned line and Thomas B. Davis
of the Piedmont The latter company
has now been finally merged into the
West Virginia Central through an ex
change of stocks.
The recently authorized increase OF the

and Pittsburg Railway Company from S10

the directors to whom discretionary
powers were given as to the amount to be
used at present. 1t was determined to
put out $1.0050C0 of stock to be used in
absorbing the Buxton and Lanstreet Coal
Company and the purchase of additional
coal lands. On January l the Coal and
Iron Railway. which is the extension of
the West Virginia Central to a junction
with the Chesapeake and Ohio, will be
ready to be operated 1t has been ar
ranged 70 run fast trains over this new

An important advantage secured to the

and Chesapeake and Ohio The construc-
tion of this line and the policy carried
out in the last two years by the West Vir-
ginia Central. of merging its subsidiary
lines into the parent company. has ere
ated the impression in local financial cir
cles that the next big deal in railroad
circles may include this property.
Its close alliance. in a traffic sense. with
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Balti-
more and Ohio has caused many to as
sumo that it will eventually pass over to
Pennsylvania control. Now. therefore.
there is considered a strong probability
that the Gould system may form an al
lance with the West Virginia Central.

FOR THE DEFENCE OF BoCAs.
Foreigners Organize to Protect the
Town Against Rebels.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct 9.-Passengers
from Bocas del Toro, Colombia, today
announce that foreigners of tnat town,
mainly Americans, have organized to
protect themselves against threatened
raids from the revolutionists. in view of
the fact that the Colombian Government
has withdrawn most of its troops at
Bocas to strengthen the garrison at Colon
and Panama.
These Withdrawals have left Bocas at
the mercy of the revolutionists, who. are
reported concentrated at Rio Cocle and
Creekamola, with raid on the town in
view. The reyolutionists' forces, since
their late defeat. have degenerated into
bandits and marauders, raiding small
towns in the interior and robbing the
merchants and traders. This brought
about the organization of some 200 Ameri-
cans In Bocas as a defence of the town,
which is owned mainly by the Americans.
An appeal will also be made by the for
eign residents to their several Govern
mvnts for protection against the revolu-
tionists on the ground that the Colom-
bian Government cannot protect them

rnyIor's Refusal TO Leave Santiago.

! Tnylor's Refusal TO Leave Santiago.
/ 1t became manifest yesterday. when
/ Admiral Taylor was on the stand that
| Admiral Schley's counsel hoped to show
! that the reason he declined Admiral
Sanpson's invitation TO join him in
visiting the horizon was that he was
preparing his ship at the time for the
I battle which began an hour and a half
later Naturally, Admiral SIMPSONS
Government counsel objected vigorous
ly to such a line Of enquiry, and the is
sue was postponed.
The Navy Department appears to feel
very keenly on the subject of the re-
ported notice to Admiral Sampson, on
the evening of July 2, that Cervera was
getting ready TO run out on the next
morning. If it can be proved that such
notice was received on board the New
York, it is unnecessary to remark that
the fact would give an ugly lCok to
Sampson's withdrawal from the scene,
and, to our mind, would render an ex-
planation by him positively necessary.
But. if the Navy Department can find
any way TO shut out testimony bearing
upon Admiral SIMPSONS transfer Of
command to Commodore SchIey early
on the murning of July 5. or relating to
his possible knowledge that an engage
meat was Immediately imminent at The
time he steamed away from the fleet, it

hope that the absentee can be kept from
appearing in the case. It is likely
enough that he viii be so protected in
any event. His friends of the Naviga-
tion Bureau already have skillfully laid
the foundation for an excuse on the
ground OF physical or mental incapaci-
ty, or both. But, while Admiral Samp-
son may be and doubtless will be ex-
cused from testifying, for some reason.
or on some pretext, it will not be found
possible to prevent his acts from ap-
pearing in evidence. and. on the whole.
probably they will serve every needful
purpose. AS Admiral Dewey so justly
and frequently remarks, what we are
all after are the facts. OF course, Cap

vice, to Assist in Suppression.

The War Department is making siren
uous efforts to suppress smuggling in the
Philippines. Plans toward this end have
been made upon the recommendation of
Governor Taft, who recently ca5led the
department asking that Frank S. Cairns
former chief of special agents in Cuba, be
sent to Manila to take charge of the in
sular secret service work Mr.. Cairns will
leave Washington in short time for this

mission and instructions.
The Philippine Commission has made
several complaints concerning the preva-
lence of smuggling in the islands and it
is in the interest of the suppression of the
open violations of the law that Mr.
Cairns has been selected to take charge
of the work.
The customs service has been a source
of considerable worry and is now receiv-
ing the special consideration of the Com
mission and the War Department Off
cials. 1t has been only few months
since Shuster was appointed collector of
customs at Manila and was relieved of
his work III Cuba to go to his new post
Since his arrival in the Philippines he has
studied the situation and made a special
request of Governor Taft that he secure
the services of Mr.. Cairns Mr.. Cairns
has been connected with the Cuban Gus
toms service for three years and was the
organizer of the secret service system of
Cuba. He was originally transferred from
the United States Secret Service with
which he was connected for several years
and was one Of the Secret Service men
who attended President Mckinley during
his trip through the South In 1899
