Silver touched its lowest record price
of 5Ol2c per ounce, few days ago,
there has been a small improvement
going up to sic. The Chinese banks
have been sellers of silver in Lonuon

A ,RARE OLD ADMIRAL.

Rear-Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge
Sr. who celebrated his ninety-seventh
birthday. April "a is probably the old
est officer of his rank in the world. APP
pointed from the State of Massachu-
sets, he entered the Navy on January
1, 1878, at the early age of twelve
years and nine months or all the Off
GERS on the naval register in 1918 he
alone survives. During his early SER
vice he made voyages in merchant YES
sells, as the Navy was reduced in ships
for years after the war of 1912. The Ad-
mirars thrilling record was made in
the times of wooden ships and hand
to hand encounters. In 1927 he was
commissioned Lieutenant, serving in
the West India squadron, the Mediter-
ranean squadron and in 1887 on the fri
gate Carolina. He was promoted to the
grade of commander in 1874. His APP
poinment.as Captain was made in 1855.
During the Civil War being to advan-
ced in years for active service at sea,
he was given command of the Mare
Island Navy Yard. While holding this
post he was promoted to the grade Of
Commodore and was placed on the re-
tired hist in 1866 in accordance with
the law providing for the retirement
of officers after forty-five years SER
vice He did not nellnquish activities,
however, for in 1873 he again command
ed at Mare fsland, and at the end of
the yearawas retired once more with
the rank of Rear-Admiral on three

Much has been said and is being said
about local self government in this ter
ritory. Much that is said is based on
the assumption, honestly taken by
some, no doubt, that the government
is not near enough to the people. A
little consideration however. will show
that this assumption has no real
ground in fact. The total number of
registered voters at the last general
election for the entire territory was
1L2lS. The senate consists of fifteen
members and the house of thirty, maxi
ing forty-five senators and representa-
tives, or one legislator for every 249
voters. Surely this brings the legisla-
tive power pretty close to the people.
With one legislator out of every 24g
voters, whatever the voters want, they
ought to be able to make it known to
their Legislators and to get what legis-
lation they want With one legislator
to every 249 voters, it would seem as if
there could scarcely be a voter not per-
sonaly acquainted with at least one
legislator, and conversely that there
could scarcely be a voter not personal
ly known tO'some legislator. Legisla-
tive power WHICH is after all the con-
trolling power in representative gov
eminent could scarcely be brought
closer to the people without pretty
nearly making every voter a legisla-
tor. If any'iocalities have not received
from the legislature what they think
they ought to have received, perhaps
the first thing they ought to look to is
the quality and weight of the legisla-
tors they send to represent them, |
rather than 20 jump at once to the con-
clusion that change of system is the |
panacea for their supposed ills. 4 null
tiplicatiOn of offices has seldom if ever
proved benefit to a people More
care in selecting members of the legis- !
lature would undoubtedly secure better |
legislative results. But it certainly |
seems as if one legislator to every 249 |
voters was as many as was necessary
to secure all the good government de-
sired

And now comes the report that the
Dowager Empress will abdicate. The
reason given is that the Boxer trou-
bles have opened her eyes to the need
Of reforms, while recent events both
foreign and domestic have shown her
the difficulties of effecting those re-
forms, and she is therefore going to
leave the task to the Emperor. 1t may
be that the present is the beginning of
an awakening in China and rejuve
nation of that wonderful people and
ancient sovereignty of which the pro-
gress Of Japan since the visit of Com
modore Perry is the prototype and pro.
phecy.

JAPAN AND SUBSIDIES.

Japan is making great efforts to in
crease her maritime influence. She is
substituting steamship lines in all
directions. According to a very recent
report of r. 7. Greener, the United
States commercial agent at Vladivos-
took.
The Kotzu Maru, of 1900 gross tons
and 922 register tons, which arrived
there recently, is the first ship of the
new, or Tsuruga, line, which receives a
subsidy of $4,000 from the japanese
Government.
A japanese paper (the Tokyo Asaki)
reports that the Chinese Eastern Com
pany "a Russian organization has
made a contract with the Japanese
Government for the opening Of this
line, to last ten years. Japan is to pay
the subsidy and the Chinese Eastern
Company is to allow a certain number
of Japanese to serve on it's ships.
Tsuruga is a new port on the west
coast of Japan, opened to foreigners
two and a half years ago The port
has been greatly improved for steamer
accommodation. The time from Vladi-
vOstock to Tsuruga is one and a half
days, and to Osaka, the great manu-
featuring city, less than twenty-four
hours.
In connection with this line, the Chi
nese Eastern fleet will have direct
with the United States.
japanese ships or Russian are
to sail to the United States is not quite
clear So far as the Chinese Eastern
steamers are concerned, it is said they
can not carry coal enough to cross the
Pacific. One of them (the Byrea,)
launched in 1901, has Just been eXamin-
ed and her boilers found useless.
While Russia is making strong eff
forts to extend her commerce in the
East, every ship on the Chinese East
ern lines runs at a loss. Steamers
come in with perhaps from 16 to 800
tons of freight and from ten to twenty
but they must run accord
ing to schedule to obtain the subsidy.
Under present tariff conditions, it is
not likely that freight will come to
in large quantities.

Governor Odelrs experience in Char
lesion, a city which the president had
visited but a few weeks before, was
somewhat notable. First, he had the
pleasure of being nominated twice for
the presidency by other speakers; and,
second, he enjoyed the opportunity Of
publicly repudiating all such sugges-
tons and avowing himself a supporter
Of President Roosevelt's candidacy in
1904. All this must be satisfactory to
Mr. Roosevelt, except possibly the fact
that any one should think of an
other candidate Certainly Odell play
ed well his part.

WAHIAWA DITCH.


The opening of the Wahiawa ditch is
an important event in the development
of the Islands. Water rights are no
new thing in Hawaii as the existence
OF the Office of commissioner Of private
ways and water rights in nearly every
district in the territory and the stat
utes relating to their powers and duties
abundantly show. But the construc-
ton and opening of the Wahiawa ditch
marks new era in their development.
1t marks wider scope, more COM
prehensive recognition of the relation
of the public to water rights. 1t may
be very important step in the devel-
opment of farming ana of an indie
pendent farming element of population.
The colony at Wahiawa is in itself a
very important factor To the men
and women who have had the courage
to undertake the colony much credit is
due independent of the question of
their success or failure. The new ditch
promises to be a most helpful step to
the colonists, and therefore a most
helpful step to the territory The re-
suits from opening this ditch ought to
be most carefully observed and studied
From the experience here gained much
that isf practical and useful may be
learned to guide in future works of the
same kind and in guiding public Off

REMARKABLE ENGINEERING.

One of the most remarkable and clev-
erly executed pieces of engineering
work ever performed in the country
took place Sunday, when the 2OO0-ton
bridge of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago railroad spanning the AL
legheny river at Pittsburg, was moved
a distance of about 80 feet to Temporal
ry piers, to make way for the new
double-deck structure that is to take
its place. The moving was done in
such an incredibly short space of time
that there was practically no interfer-
ence with traffic, with absolutely no
mishap of any-i1ind or even a hitch in
the arrangements. The feat was ac-
complished in less than two hours.

A TACOMA FUNERAL STOPPED.
TACOMA COURT ISSUED AN IN.
JUNCTION TO DO 1T.
The Dead Man Had Been Member in
Good Standing in Lonsshoremen's
union-They Wanted to Conduct
Funeral and Pay Expenses-Under-
taker Refused to Give Up Body.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 8.--A war
among local undertakers, which has
been brewing Tor years, eliminated
Sunday in the first appeal ever made
to Washington court to prevent the
burial OF a corpse. The court granted
an injunction to Conrad L. Hoska, who
prevented the burial of William F.
Brink, a longshoreman. The question
comes up Monday for settlement.
The longshoreman' union, of which
Brink was member, desired to bury
him at their expense. They waited
upon Hoska, local undertaken, and
informed him of their purpose.
The body of the dead man, in the
meantime had been taken to the I'M
dertaking parlors of C. G. Mellinger.
The latter refused to give up Brink S
body. The claim of Mellinger was
that the betrothed of Brink had rep
resented to him she desired Mellinger
to bury her brother. The longshore-
men, who intended to defray all ex-
penses, objected to this program, and
asked to be allowed to make prepare
tons for the burial. This Mellinger
denied and an appeal was taken to the
court.
The first funeral was set for today,
but since the court has prevented the
burial through an injunction, this has
been postponed, and the body will be
held pending an outcome of the case.
The point at issue is interesting and
Will determine the right of friends of
a deceased person to superintend the
