The vagaries of the telegraph service
have caused any number of serious and
amusing errors in the transmission Of
messages, says an English monthly. One
of the most audicrous mistakes ever made
by the telegraph was caused by the loss of
a single dot in a telegram from Brisbane
to a London news agency. AS II reached
London it read thus: "Governor-General
twins first son." which the news agency
edited and sent around to the papers
in the following form: Lady Kennedy
the wife of Sir Arthur Kennedy. Governor
General of Queensland, yesterday gave
birth at Government House, Brisbane to
twins. the first born being a son." The
telegram arriving in the small hours Of
the morning, there was no time to refer 10
any books, and it was published by most
of the newspapers in London and the
provinces and caused an unexpected sen
sation Sir Arthur's friends pointed out
with conclusive force that someone had
Numbered as there never was a Lady
Kennedy, Sir Arthur being a bachelor
The repeated message which followed
read: Governor General turns first sod.

Josely Leigh, In TO Have and to Hold"
when her lover appears with supposedly
blood-stained bandage tied about his
sleeve. says the New York Mail and Ex-
press.
"A scratch" replies Capt. Percy nom
chalantly; and the sophisticated audience
smiles in the place where Percy wears
mis- bandage. and says TO itself. Where
have heard those words before?"
1t is high time that stage heroes ceased
TO have. "a mere scratch" The phrase is
really used up, and even its old age does
not entitle II to respect. The expression
seems TO have a particular penchant for
hanging about the dramatized novel
(which il is itself likely to be a mere
theatrical seratch). and as one looks back
upon the mock heroes of the season II is
difficult to discover one that has not suf-
Tered more or less successfully with "a
mere scratch" six nights a week, not 70

commendable effort for originality. Actors
who use the phrase "a mere scratch" are
furthermore open to charge of unfr1end-
lness to James K. Hackett, whose sole
property it really is. E. H. Sothern for
some time shared with Mr.. Hackett the
right to be Scratched" but has waived
ms title to half the scratch in favor of

no one who can be "scratched' to better

1t is now said that st. Louis will not
be ready to hold her great fair in 1903,
the date Of the centennial OF the Louis
lana Purchase, and that an effort will be
made to postpone the event until 1904 or
1905. To do this 1t will be necessary to
have the consent of Congress. since that
body has appropriated 100000 for the
exposition. When the matter comes up
before Congress next winter an effort
win probably be made by the opponents
of ct. Louis to have the appropriation
repealed. on the ground that It was Sc
cured by false representations and that
It was never intended to hold the fair
in 1903. Meanwhile It will not be for
gotten that Chicagos Columbian exposi-
tlon in commemoration of the four hun
dredth anniversars of the discovery OF
America, was not held until year after
the actual date Of the anniversary OF the
discovery.

Mr.. Bryan was in Philadelphia the other
night. Senior Sixto Lopez, the Filipino.
was there at the same time and made
speech in a public hall. The Philadelphia
Press says that Mr.. Bryan and some
friends went around to the Filipino's hall
and that note was sent up to the speaker
of the evening. Lopez read the note ana
put 1t into his pocket. Directly another
note was sent to him, and that followed
the first into the Fiipino's pocket. But no
reply ever came back. Then. after few
moments. Mr.. Bryan and his friends went
away. The idea suggested by the story
is that Mr. Bryan was snubbed by the lit
lie brown man from over the seas.

A NEW TREATY.

1t is said to be the purpose of the ad-
ministration to invite negotiations at
once with Great Britain for the abroga-
ton Of the Clayton-Buiwer treaty, or such
a modification OF it as will permit of the
construction of the Nicaragua canal on
such conditions as will be satisfactory to
the people of the United States and not
offensive to the government of Great
Britain. There is no doubt that Great
Britain is willing to enter into negotia-
tons, and to make such notifications of
the Clayton Bulwer treaty as will be sat
isfactory to this country, but she will de-
mand concessions. 1t may be accepted as
certain that we shall not get as good
terms as we got in the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty without paying for them. When
Secretary Hay drafted that treaty Great
Britain was not on very good terms with
Germany and she was threatened with
intervention in South Africa. Therefore,
she was particularly anxious to have the
United States for a friend. She Is not
so anxious now. She is on good terms
with Germany and she has no fear of
Intervention in South Africa.
1t is probable that remembering the
service Canada has rendered in the South
Africa trouble she will demand certain
concessions on the Alaskan border-con-
cessions which Canada is very DESTROYS
of having. 1t is doubtful If the American
people would regard with favor conces-
sions in that locality. That being the
case, it is pretty certain that a new
treaty will not be>negotiated as easily as
the -Paunoefote treaty was. 1t is not
improbable that the Senate's refusal to
ratify that treaty will come to be re-
garded as a great blunder.
