Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew is too
incorrigible joker to have permitted
us to take seriously his statement of
few weeks ago that he would not be
interviewed again. Time has proved
the justice Of this position, for he had
not stepped from the liner in which
he landed in this country, on Eatur-
day, before he had given an interview
to all the newspaper men who could
get within hail. 1t is fortunate that
man who enjoys hearing himself talk
as much as does Senator Depew pos
sesses the ability and the tact which
make his outpourings enjoyable to
others.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
over such an inquiry, conscientiously
and intelligently conducted, Admiral
Schley has but limited influence. No
body imagines that there is any doubt
of his vindication so far as concerns
matters of real Importance. The coun-
try firmly believes, however, that there
is much beneath the surface-plots,
Misrepresentation, ignoble conceal
ments and conspiracies, a hundred
scandals of which the American peo-
pie have rightful cognizance and to the
exposure and eradication whereof their
honor and their peace of mind are
pledged. And the American people will
be satisfied with nothing less than GER
tainty on all these points.
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
"Mr. Bryan has emphatically announc-
ed that he will not be present at the
demonstration of the Omaha Jackson
Club to take place a few weeks hence.
1t was reported that David b. Hill and
Henry Watterson had accepted invita-
tions to be present and make addresses
at the time These distinguished DEM
ocrats, who supported the Democratic
candidates and platform of 1892, which
he bolted are on his black list. Posi-
bly, they will survive it,"
The Washington Star Qnd.) says:
"Since the day on which Senator Till
man announced his opinion that lynch
ing is good form and a gentle practice
which should be encouraged in cul-
tured communities Ave Southern sher-
ifs have saved five black prisoners
from Ave mobs. Thus is there further
confederation of the axiom that in all
evil there Is some good"

DR.. S. H. Albeneius of Jersey City,

ed by strolling street musicians and

Gently the neighborhood had a bad
attack of Salvation Army, and it was
more than the doctors overburdened

gated before his door and touched the

juggling sought TO wage successful

but that he refused to be chastened.
The recent killing of the millionaire
mine owner Samuel Strong, by the
proprietor of bar and gambling house
in Cripple Creek. Col, has resulted in
the inauguration of determined eff
fort, on the part of the Mayor of that
town, to rid it of It's wild and woody
element for all time. The Mayor has
begun by issuing orders that all gam
bling rooms shall be closed and kept
closed and that the law prohibiting the
carrying of concealed weapons shall be
strictly enforced and it's violation heav-
lily punished. 1t is. pity that life
should have to be sacrificed in order
to arouse an official to a sense of re-
sponsibility but if the Mayor is able
to accomplish his announced purpose
the sacrifice will not have been in
vain.

A GREAT RECORD.
Rock Islands Colorado Flyer
Ran Behind Time But Twice in
Month Of January. l9Ol--.-
Challenges Comparison.

The well-known Rock Island "Colora-
do Flyer" has made record for punc-
tual ION time" service which has not
been equalled by any other road.
Without any attempt to make record
but with only the usual time card rules
governing, this train, running daily be-
tween Kansas City, Pueblo. Colorado
Springa and Denver, made the phsno-
menal record Of being late but twice
during the month of January, 1901.
Considering thu length Of the run. 668
miles, and the average speed Of SO miles
per hour including all stops, this il re-
markable performance for a railroad
train. especially during the wintry month
of January.
To be more explicit, the Colorado
Flyer" runs between the Missouri river
and the Rockies and tho distance 10 688
milss to Pueblo. The two flyers, trains
Nos and 10, cover this distance during
each "a hours, making total mileage OF
1886 miles per day. Calculating further.
We find that for the entire month of jan
uary these trains covered the distance of
4O,060 miles and required 1.049 hours to
col OF this distance at the rapid con-
tinueus rate Of over 80 miles per hour.
In order to mako this average rate psr
hour, it must be remembered that the
actual running time OF the flyers between
stations approaches 60 milss per hour.
There arc q stops to be made on each

THE PUzHLaNG PROBLEM.
How to Secure Payment of Interest
on Chinese Indemnity.

Pekin, May S1.--Chinas unconditional
acceptance of 450OOOOOO taels as the in
demnity to be paid the Powers has caused
great satisfaction among the foreign min
listers, as it only leaves practically few
minor dessils to complete the negotia-
tions.
The phrase in the joint note ito the
satisfaction of the Powers" may cause
some delay in the evacuation of Chinese
territory, the ministers fail to see how
China can guarantee payment and as all
the ministers believe it would
be a mistake to have a large body of for
eign officials collecting revenue. Were
revenue thus collected, over 1900 officials
would be required and the aggregate sal
aries of these men would be very large
and amount to more than the ordinary
Chinese squeeze"
The majority of the ministers now favor
raising the customs to 10 per cent. and
taking 100000 taels yearly from the Ii
kin tax. This method would give, after
the payment of interest on foreign debts
now existing about %, 600 taels year
The ministers would agree to this system
If China will discontinue the collection of
all Ii kin duties on foreign goods.

Columbia, s. c., May S1.-Despite the
action of the Governor to-day, the situa-
ton is not yet clear. Ever since the an
nouncement of the Governors action. his
rights in the premises have been discussed
and questioned by many persons. 1t is
the opinion of lawyers and others of good
Judgment that the Governor cannot re-
tuse to accept the resignation of a SEN
ator. This view was strengthened when
the statement from Senator Tillman was
received. In the meanwhile, Senator Nc
Laurin had hastened to say that he
would withdraw his resignation if the
Governor wished it. That viii lead to the
impression the junior Senator was
anxious for an opportunity to remain in
office until the end of his term
1t can be confidently asserted that the
matter is not ended with Senator Till
man. He will take advantage of McLau-
rims apparent readiness to quit" and
those who know him best expect him to
make another lead at his colleague. Gov
McSweeney is willing to accommodate
them if they wish to resign without hold
ing strings. He said tonight:
