WIG Is the 1.PrIncersf,,

Chicago papers are full Of the doings Of
an Indian lady, described as Princess
Sophie Dhuleep Singh. the handsome
young daughter Of the Maharajah Of La
hore." The princess" It is said, has
sacrificed the comforts Of her palatlaI
home In India in order TO study medicine
in Porkopolis. The portraits Of the
princess" give her an unmlstskabIe
Anglo-Saxon face, and she is dressed IN
the height Of European fashion, which
coupled with the fact that there is no
such person as the Maharajah Of Lahore
makes one anxious TO hear more OF the
charming lady.-London Express.

f1ict on sea for many years, and yet her
navy has been twice as large as that of
any other power. The recent increase in
our navy did not induce the war with
Spain, which, as things were, seems to
have been inevitable. On the other hand
it is more than likely that if in the begin
ming of 1898 we had even as large navy
as we have now, certainly as large one as
now proposed, there would have been no
war with Spain, and that country would
have come to terms, as she was very near
coming, without battle. AT that time, how
ever, it was the general impression among
foreign powers, and probably in Spain, that
her navy would blow US out of the water.
Our world relations have expanded vast
ly in the last three years in territorial ex-
tent and vastly more in international ex-
tent. It has not been an extension upon
the continent, but upon the. ocean itself
and the islands of the sea in both hemis-
pheres. Our commerce has greatly in
creased in volume and area and our Amer
lean marine is likely to follow suit; as
on land, SO on ocean, as you extend your
commerce so you must expand your po-
lice force. If there is to be navy at all
1t should be commensurate with all these
extended relations and demands.
Il will not pursue the topic further but
a United States naval vessel carrying our
flag into the ports and harbors of the
world is something more than fighting
machine. Tt means relations with those
ports; it means an awakening and lively
respect there for our country; it means
recognition of the out-reach of our civili-
cation, commerce and influence; it means
just what would be meant if a fine rep
resentative of New York or Boston, car
rying her prestige, exploiting her inter
ests, were in every other city of the union"
