FRENCH LACK DISCIPLINE.

NEW YORK. March PA dispatch
TO the Herald from Tien Tsin says:
Alterations continue here between the
French and British. An Indian officer
OF high rank horsewhipped a French
sergeant. The discipline OF the French
forces leaves much to be desired. While
the French officers are evidently doing
their best TO maintain discipline, it
would not surprise any one to see the
French troops get beyond control at
any moment. ALREADY have been heard
French soldiers kissing their own Of
ficers and II Is reported that some
French officers have been stoned in a
mysterious manner by missiles coming
from untraceable quarters.
Contingents Of Cossacks are continually
drlbblIng in and the Russians now have
five hundred men more than they had
here day previous Nothing has been
yet heard Of the arrival at the mouth Of
the river Of expected reihforcements
from Port Arthur. New Chwang. On
the other hand II is reported and be-
iieved that the British feet is collecting
at Wei Hal Wei for the purpose of
making a naval demonstration against
Port Arthur
Contrary 10 expectation the days have
passed without serious conflict. The
Russians with the help of between three
and four hundred coolies are building a
road along the river in front of their
concession. They have now reached a
point within thirty yards of the British
sentinel and the work is proceeding
rapidly. The British advanced picket
lines between thirty and forty feet from
the bank and there would not be room
for the road to be constructed without
disturbing the ground upon which the
British picket is stationed, General
Campbell informed the Russians, how
ever, that he would regard as an act

Tuesday morning the working parties

THE BRIDGE OF TIME.
Eeath Of the Widow of Morsr, Inventor Of the
Electric Telegraph.

Eeath Of the Widow of Morsr, Inventor Of the
Electric Telegraph.
The death of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth
GIiswold Morse, widow Of Prof. Sam
uel F. B. Morse, which occurred
the other day, shows how short a
span of years bridges the present
and the past. 1t seems almost in
credible that the widow OF the man
who gave to the world the electric
telegraph was living 10 days ago. Yet
this woman was only 70 years of age.
The invention of the telegraph seems
to belong to an age almost lost in the
remoteness of antiquity. Yet there
are many living who can remember
time when the telegraph was thing
Of the future undreamed of save per.
haps by the mind of Morse. The
world has progressed so fast in the
past half century or so that even the
electric telegraph has failed to keep
pace with the age and obtain recogni-
ton as q marvel. Nevertheless it was
the first of the great commercial in
ventions which harness electric forces
for the common everyday uses of man.
kind, and it was great genius that
gave it to the world. The phono.
graph, the telephone, electric propul-
sion, electric lighting, and all the
boons which applied electrical science
have bestowed upon the world were
the outgrowth of Prof. s. F. B. Morse's
invention. And that invention has
served its purpose unchallenged until
this day. The death of Prof. Morse's
widow occurs just as wireless telegraph
threatens to supplant and do away
with the Morse system.

GOOD PLAN.


Fifty farmers near the town OF
Solomon, in Central Kansas, embrac.
ing men of all political parties, last
summer formed a cooperative grain
bnying company. Their number in
cluded 80 per cent. of the wheat-rais-
ers Of that section, some producing as
much as 10000 bushels and most of
them having at least 5000 bushels as
the seasons yield. Their investiga-
tons showed that the local buyers
were paying II cents a bushel less
than the Kansas City market, while s
cents margin, would meet the expenses.
This company had but $500 capital !;
each member had but one vote; the
officers elected included a banker, a
former member OF the Legislature,
and, as manager, a practical grain
buyer and miller. They bought a
small elevator, instructed the mana.
ger to pay within s cents OF the
market, this margin meeting the
transportation charges, and began
business. As was to be expected, the
rival buyers sought to take away the
business by paying more than the
farmers company, and did SO for sew
eral weeks. Here was where the
farmers met the situation. Under
their agreement, whenever more was
paid elsewhere, the members were
instructed to sell in that market, but
for every bushel thus sold l cent was
paid to the cooperative company. As
result the farmers elevator stood
still, but the treasury was kept full
and the members gained 6 to 7 cents
bushel on their wheat. One day q
railroad blockaded their elevator with
coal cars. They made no complaint
but transferred their shipments to
another road. The cars were soon
moved, and since then plenty of trans
portation has been furnished. AS the
rival buyers ceased high figures the
elevator began business, and during
the summer and early fall has pur-
chased so per cent. OF the wheat
marketed at that point. The profits
have been enough to pay dividends
amounting to about 50 per cent. on
the original investment Of the mem.
bers. The success Of the plan has re-
suited in the organization of many
other similar companies.

In 1892 the Democratic party won q
sweeping victory which placer it in
complete control of the government
but there were enough men, calling
themselves Democrats, but advocating
Republican principles, to make the
victory almost barren of results. In
1896 the party adopted . clear cut
declaration of principles, and these
men were driven out of the ranks and
went over to the Republicans where
they belonged. The Democrats were
defeated in 1896 and 1900, but defea,
on platform which cannot be mis-.
understood is preferable to victory on
q straddling platform which can be
construed in half q dozen ways.-Col.

HINTS FOR TRAVELLERS.

When one is about to start on q
journey that will take several hours il
is we'll TO thoroughly equip ones sell
that one may be as comfortable AZ
possible. Especially lie this neces.
sary when there..are little children to
consider as we'll as older persons.
Above all things, be sure to provide
yourself with a drinking cup. for it is
far from attractive to think OF drink.
ing from the cup used by any one who
chances along.
Next in importance is q small bottle
of good but plain Cologne water. A
soft face-cloth may be wrapped around
this, and when tired and dusty from
the heat gently battle the face with
the Cologne water, and you will be
greatly surprised to find how cool and
comfortable you will feel.
A small fan that runs into hollow
stick, and which takes but little room
in your bag, should be the next arti-
Gle to find = resting place. Some
pins, a spool of thread and some
needles and few buttons will posi-.
bly, be found useful, especially where
there are children.
If one is made i'll by the motion oil

will often relieve the headache. Fol
this purpose it is also we'll to carry q
few ealted or other plain crackers, for
the illness is often caused BY an
empty stomach. The breakfast has
possibly been hastily eaten, or per.
haps but q cup of coffee has been
taken. Toward lunch time one will
experience a racking headache. Be
fore the headache becomes established
the cracker should be eaten and the
headache will probably disappear.
Do not attempt to carry any great
amount OF money with you, but place
the bulk Of it in . chamois bag that
may be securely fastened around your
neck under the dress. A sufficient
sum to meet immediate wants may be
carried in tho bag. A night dress
should certainly be placed in the
hand satchel, for trunks have been
known to 60 astray.

sttution tends to the executive. Con-
gress is unpleasant to be "on the
hands" of the executive-to employ
Cleveland's expressive phrase-but
Congress is easily subdued. Possibly
this is a wise change in the theories OF
govern ment and possibly not. This
remains true, however, that the
change is being made and is gradually
stifiening into custom that it will
be difficult to reverse. George Wash.
ington would not recognize the presi-
Dental Office as it is regarded to-day.

THE NEW TREATY.

1t is said that the new -Paunce.
tote treaty invests the United States
with the sole right to protect an 18TH
milan canal from damage by an en-
envy, gives the United States the right
to exclude an enemy's ships from the
use OF the canal and reserves to the
United States alone the right to de-.
fend itself in the waters adjacent to
the canal. This may or may not
turn out to be true. Most likely it
will. If it does not the treaty might
as we'll not have been drawn, for the
Senate certainly will refuse to ratify
it.
1t is not always easy to make out
what a Treaty does provide. The
custom Of employing diplomatic YER
biage is q fruitful source of contro.
versy. A great deal of time has been
wasted by State departments in defin-
ing the meaning of treaties the sense
of which has been involved in the OBJ.
security Of refined phraseology, and
there is seldom any difficulty in find
ing cause for war in the best of trea.
ties. All ambiguity might be avoided
if the language OF the treaties were
plain and to the point. For example,
all the essential points of the Hay.
Pauncefote treaty could be covered in
these few words: The United States
shall have the right TO construct and
pay for the construction OF the canal,
to fortify it and its approaches, at the
same time guaranteeing equality of
privilege to use it to all nations At
peace with the United States. That
is all; for, if the United States has
the right 10 fortify the canal il GER
tainly will defend it against foe
treaty or no treaty. The right to ex.
clude an enemy's ships from the ca.
nal is not question of treaty stipula.
ton, it is wholly a question Of might.
At this writing the treaty has not
been made public. and its provisions
are necessarily conjectural; but we
may safely conclude that it substanti-
ally recognizes the right Of the United
States to defend what it constructs a.
against all hostile corners. In max
ing this concession, Great Britain
makes virtue Of necessity, knowing
full we'll that the United States would
do it anyhow.

Presidents Power Increasing.
Sumner Herald.

It has been given out in Washing.
ton in interviews semi-officially what
the views Of President Roosevelt are
upon matters of various kinds which
will como before the next session OF
Congress. It is added that he wifi
bring the full power of the admins
tration to bear up on the Senate and
House of Representatives in order to
crystalize his views into law. These
statements are received with little
concern by the people, so accustomed
are we becoming TO the employment {
of public patronage by the executive
10 accomplish bis purpose, and so
careless are we a. to the gradual
emasculation of the legislative de-
partment. Have Americans become
at heart imperialists?
Certainly the theory upon which
our forefathers founded this govern.
ment was that there should be a
trinity of public service; the legisla-
tive department should make laws,
the judiciary should interpret and the
executive should enforce them. I'm
der this theory the executive had no
more to do with the law making than
the hand has to do with the willing OF
its acts. All this has changed. The
legislature has become the hand and
does what the executive determines.
The Interpretation of the judiciary
is determined to fit the desires of the
executive As the actions of the Legisla.
ture are determined to meet its de.
mands.
We are drifting into a government
by one-man power. Even the con.
