would enjoy certain privileges peculiar to
the highest office within the gift the people
This is not the case, however. The fact that
the President Of the United States is the only
law abiding and reason possessing citizen
thereof whom custom holds prisoner within
limited bounds is brought out very forcibly
by John Elfreth Watkins, Jr., in an interest
ing article on "Some things The President
Does Not Do" in the October Ladies' Home
Journal. 1t shows that in the spending of
his leisure time the President is more re-
strlcted than the janitor who daily cmpties

The SOUTH AMERICAN CRISIS.
Prouress of the Efforts TO Avert
War.

Washington, September 4.-The ac-
ton of the United States in tenderlng
its good offices to Venezuela and Colon
bia to avert war between those coun-
tries has not yet advanced TO a point
where this government has begun the
work of mediator. It has signifed
its willingness to act, but 1t Will re-
main for the two countries to indicate
when the time has arrived for actual
mediation. Colombia has already
made known that she will welcome the
exercise of the pacific Offices of the
United States. In this acceptance 1t
is understood that Colombia denies
that she has invaded Venezuela, and
also places the burden of the issue on
President Castro in person as against
the body of the Venezuelan people.
The response of Venezuela is under
stood to be less definite in accepting the
good Offices of the United States.
For the present therefore, it is not
expected that the United States will
take further active steps, although its
tender stands as a clear intimation to
the contending parties that the United
States are likely to take such action
as is necessary to avert war.

The STEEL STRIKE GOES ON.
Another Effort to Mediate Be-
tween Trust and Strikers Fails.

New York. September 4.-Terms OF
peace in the steel strike were discuss
ed at length today at a secret confer
ence, in which sat officials of the Unit.
ed States Steel Cooperation, leaders OF
union labor and representatives OF
the civic organizations which have
intervened. Unusual safeguards OF
secrecy was resorted to in order to
preserve the privacy Of the proceedings,
but it was evident that no conclu-
sion was reached and that the decision
either to terminate or continue the
strike must be made by the strikers.
The nature of the agency from the
Amalgamated Association held by the
labor unions who participated in the
discussion is not known, but 1T is be-
ieve they possessed at least an out
line of terms from President Shaher
and they will place before him and MS
associates the terms of the United
States Steel Corporation. 1t was also
apparent at the conclusion of the dis
cussion that if the conference IS to be
resumed or any further action toward
peace taken the strikers must take
the initiative.

The Chinese PROTOCOL.
Why the Final Signatures Have
Not Been Affixed.

Washington, Sept. 3.-A cablegram
received at the State department. from
Commissioner Rockhill at Pekin ex-
plains partly the situation at the Capt.
tai in securing the final signatures to
the protocol. Mr.. Rockhill says that
the Chinese plenipotentiaries received
the expected edict authorizing them
to sign in behalf of the Chinese gov
ernment on August %. They were,
however, instructed to delay final sig
nature until they receive another edict
touching the discontinuance of the
civil service examination in some of
the Chinese cities where the Boxer
movement found its principal strength.
One of the penalties imposed by the
foreign ministers upon the Chinese
government was the discontinuance of
these examinations where the Boxers
were particularly offensive, and the
Chinese government is finding it no
easy matter to discriminate in the
selection of the places where the
penalty is to be imposed =

Not Fair Samples.

Major McDowells' mot reminded
me of a passage of arms between
Horace Greeley and DR.. William X.
Pendleton, who was for many years
president of Bethany college, West
Virginia. He came of the old Vlr-
ginia Pendleton family, which has
given so many soldiers and statesmen
to the republic. He was an accom-
plished orator, scholar and gentleman.
During reconstruction days, when all
the West Virginia representatives were
Republicans, DR.. Pendleton, who was
a Democrat, came to Washington, and
while here was introduced to Horace
Greeley as Dr. Pendleton, president
of Bethany college, West Virginia.
Horace looked at the courtly Fir-
ginian and in his shrill tenor said:
Judging by the sort of congress
Washington, I had concluded that
there are no colleges in West Viz
ginia.
Pendleton with a graceful bow which
would have done honor to Lord Ches-
terfeld, call those West Virginia con
gressmen whom you have met are Re
publicans! They are not fair samples

HUNTING TIGERS.

The ordinance prohibiting the sale
of illicit whiskey in Charleston and
requiring the strict observance of the
dispensary law By the dispensers. which
was passed at tee last meeting of the
City Council. will come up for ratih-
cation at a meeting Of City Council
to be held Tuesday, September 10:
That the ordinance will be ratified
without opposition there can be no
doubt, for all of the Aldermen favor
the passage Of the ordinance, believ-
ing that it is for the best interest OF
the city that such a law should be
passed.
The ordinance provides for the trial
of blind tiger cases in the recorders
court, which is entirely new for
Charleston, for heretofore all whiskey
cases have been sent to the Court Of
Sessions, where tae indictments were
thrown out By the grand jury.
1t is expected that when the ordl-
mace is ratified the police will make
considerable trouble for the tigers and
no doubt Recorder Jervey's work Will
be greatly increased After the ordi-
nance is ratified Mayor Smyth will IS
sue instruction TO Chief BOYLE and
every possible effort will be made to
carry cut the law, shough with what
succe.s remains to be seen.

new DYNAMITE GUN.
Which Will Hurl a 400 Pound Pro-
iectiIe Five Miles.
Special to the State.

Special to the State.
Beaufort, Sept. 1.-The task of
erecting dynamite gun on Hilton
Head island is completed and the Off
cial test by government experts IS
scheduled to occur in this month.
This gun is forty feet long with a
calibre of sixteen inches, and is ex-
pected at the trial test to hurl a five
hundred pound projectile charged with
nitrate of gelatine distance of four
miles.
The destructive energy of one of
these shells is estimated to equal the
explosion of 1000 pounds Of gun pow
der. They are conical shaped and
covered with thin coating Of sheet
brass and mere contact with the sur
face of the water in their rapid fight
would cause them to expolde with
such terrific force that vessel with
in one hundred feet of the point of
contact would either be sunk outright
or so seriously disabled as to be use
less in action.
Thirty-six air tanks, cylindrical in
shape, Is feet long by 3 feet in diane
ter, are constantly charged with COM
pressed air exerting pressure of ], 900
pounds to the square inch. 1t is this
compressed air that will hurl the pro-
jectile from the gun.
Three return tubular boilers feed
as many powerful engines of the most
approved type, which in turn set IN
motion the complicated electrical
apparatus which keeps the storage
tanks chargd with compressed air.
One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars has been expended by the govern
ment in the>erection of this battery,
which is very essential and modern

Hilton Head island and commanding
the approaches to the inner harbor

Andree and His Companions.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
There is no longer any hope OF
Andree's return. Scientific men IN
this country and experinced ice pilots
and whalers all agree that he could
not have survived three months.
They place no faith in any of the mes
sages and signs alleged to have come
from him. It was just four years ago,
July II, 1897, one clear afternoon
when the wind was in the right. quar-
ter. that Andree summoned his COM
panions without ceremony, cut the
ropes that detained his aerial carriages
and scared away into the Arctic sky.
Whatever may be thought about the
prudence and scientific practicabllity
of voyage to the North Pole in
balloon, there was never so sublime
an exhibition of human daring, m
difference to danger and death as
that given by the young Swede and
his devoted companions, Fraenkel
and Strindberg. Having convinced
himself and them that there is a
steady current of air, like the trade
winds of the tropics, from the boun-
daries of the Arctic Circle to the Pole,
thev staked their lives on their faith,
built a balloon and attempted to make
the voyage.
1t must have been a remarkable
scene when they departed. Andree had
waited for favorable weather nearly
two weeks after his arrangements were
complete, and was becoming very I'M
patient, when, as be came from din.
ner on the afternoon of the llth OF
July. he noticed with qualification
that all the conditions We're favorable
He hastily called his assistants, who
made rapid preparations for departure
Within half an hour everything was
ready. Andree shook hands with all
the bystanders in most solemn
manner, thanked them in few hearty
words for their interest and assistance,
stepped coolly into his car, called
Fraenkel and Strindberg, who were
saving good-bv to their friends, and
cut the ropes with his own hands.
As the last cord was severed and the
balloon rose heavenward, he leaned
over the edge of the car and shouted:
