THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE
NAVY.

Beginning with May William Hen
ry Moody of Massachusetts will be
Secretary of the Navy. The impress
sion thrown out by the Washington
dispatches is that the friends of Mr..
Moody made hard fight to get the
President to select him In preference
to one of several others who were
prominntly mentioned for the place.
That may be a correct impression, but
it seems to us that the President had
decided to appoint him as soon as he
was certain that it was the purpose
of Secretary Long to retire.
Mr.. Moody is just the sort OF a man
that the President likes. In fact, he
is much the same sort of a man as
the President is. He believes in a
strenuous life. He showed that by his
efforts to get Congress to take hand
in the settlement of the race question
in the South. If he had remained in
Congress he would never have been
satisfied until that question was made
political issues. He doesn't agree
with the majority of his party in the
position it appears to be taking on
that question-that is, to let the South
ern people deal with the question in
the way that seems best to them. As
the head of the Navy Department he
will have enough to occupy his mind
without worrying about the disfran-
chisement of illiterate negroes.
Mr.. Moody is a little past forty-eight
years of age, and is a lawyer by pro-
fession. He was elected to fill a va
cancy in the Fifty-fourth Congress
and has been a member OF that body
ever since. He is credited with being
a good business man and an ardent
civil service reformer. One of the
reasons why he is acceptable to the
President is that he is such an ag-
gressive advocate of civil service re-
form.
1t is probable that he will make a
very good Secretary of the Navy, but
he will not become as popular with
the masses Of the people as the pres
ent Secretary of the Navy is. No
doubt Mr.. Long has made some Sc
rious mistakes, but he is a courteous
and kind hearted gentleman whose re-
tirement is no doubt regretted by
many who are not politically in sym
pathy with him.

Washington is said to be suffering
from severe Prince Henry Jag Every
thing that can possibly be converted
into souvenir of the Princes visit
is being eagerly seized upon, and prices
of souvenirs have gone soaring. Five
hundred dollars has been refused for
one of the menu cards of the Princes
dinner at the White House. The tow
els that he wiped his hands on are
eagerly sought by those who have the
craze. A chair in which the Prince
sat was sold for about fifty times it's
value. The men are cultivating the
Prince Henry beard, and the women
are eultivating the men wearing the
beard.

Rent BY one OF IT'S INFANTS.

The Republican party is torn into
factions by an infant industry of the
kind that it has been nursing ewes
since it came into existence. The beet
sugar industry says in effect that that
party shall NOT carry out it's policy of
giving aid to the Cuban sugar plant
ers and il looks very much as if IL
would have its way in the matter.
The party organs are trying to force
the infant beet sugar industry out of
the party's path. but they do not meet
with much success. For, instance, the
Philadelphia Press. edited by Mr..
Smith, recently Postmaster General,
in its Mondays issue, says, Now the
first point to be clearly grasped and
the nation and the success of the Re-
publican party are bound up with a
fair chance for Cuba. That is a part
of the national policy which the Re-
publican party has created"
That is the way that the President
sees it and as those party leaders. who
made certain promises to the Cubans
when Cuba agreed to what is known
as the Plat amendment, see 1t, but
it is not the way the infant beet sugar
industry sees it. The beet sugar men
say that those who made promises to
Cuba were not authorized to do so,
and that therefore their promises have
no binding force. Besides, they con-
tend that the success of the Republi-
can party does not depend upon Civ
ing aid to Cuba. On the contrary,
from their point of view, the party is
much more likely to be injured than
helped by giving assistance to Cuba,
particularly as the giving of such as
sistance means the injury of an Ameri-
can industry.
The quarrel is a very pretty one
and is doing the Republican party no
good In fact, it is doing it a great
deal of harm. In the first place If aid
should not be granted there
would, in all probability, be
trouble in Cuba. which would
be charged against the Republi-.
can party. If help should be granted
to Cuba the weight of all of the sugar
growing interests of this country would
likely be thrown against the Republic
can party. That interest is very
great, especially in some of the North
western states. AS the case stands
therefore the infant beet sugar indus
try is in fair way of doing the Re-
publican party very considerable dam
age-damage which will appear as the
Congressional campaign progresses.

According to a Washington dispatch
in the Philadelphia Record, there is
more behind the case of Maj. Waller,
of the Marines. who is to be tried by
court martial in the Philippines, than
appears in the charges. According to
this dispatch. Maj. Waller is in the
way of the bureaucrats in Washing
ton and they wish to get rid of him.
Maj. Waller, who is of the line, is a
candidate for the brigadier general
ship to succeed Gen. Haywood. There
is a contest between the line and the
staff for the place. The staff candi-
dates are Col. G. c. Reed and Col
Denny. and the line candidates are
Maj. Waller and Col Meade. 1t will
be recalled that Col. Meade was re-
Gently courtmartialed, and acquitted.
on complaint of Col. Denny. The allie
cation is that the Washington wire
pullers wish to get the line officers out
of the way so that the generalship may
go to the staff. Maj. Waller has a
brilliant record.

Who prevented Alice Roosevelts trip
to the coronation? The question may
grow to be as important and as puz-
cling as the one. Who was Uncle Sans
friend in 1898? Two or three DAYS ago
it was stated that Senator Hanna had
convinced the President that 1t would
be poor politics to permit his daughter
to go to the coronation. Now Con-
gresham Fitzgerald of Boston says it
was the Irish that influenced him
There is large Irish vote in the
United States, and Mr. Fitzgerald de-
clares that had the young woman gone
to London and hob-nobbed with British
royalty, no good Irishman would have
voted for the President at the next
election. A Chicago paper says it was
the Democrats that kept Miss Alice out
of her visit, since the Democratic pa
pers would have watched the trip
closely for the purpose of taking adj
vantage of any political capital that
might be made out of it. These are
some of the alleged influences brought
to bear on the President Others may
come to light from time to time.

Charles #. Yerkes, the Chicago street
railway magnate, was so much pleased
with a portrait of himself painted by
Benjamin Constant that he added a
gratuity of $4,000 to the check for $780,
900. the artists price for the picture.
Mr.. Yerkes said that the extra $40, 900
was a token of admiration for the art
lists genius, and gratitude "for your
having consented to bother with such
an uninspiring model" AS if a model
able to pay $4,000 for a picture could
be "uninspiring!" Constant. however,
would not accept the $4,000. He had
his price for portraits, he said: mo
more and no less" He proposed, there
fore. that the surplus be given to
charity.

GREENE-GAYxoR STORIES.

The failure of. Capt. Greene and
Col. Gaynor to appear in court and
answer the new indictment against
them has given the New York news
papers an opportunity to indulge in
wild speculations, and to tell some
stories that apparently have no
foundation.
One of the stories is that the reason
Capt. Greene and Col. Gaynor de-
cided not to stand a trial was that they
had learned that former Capt. Garter,
now confined in the Leavenworth pris-
on, had agreed to become a witness
for. the government, and tell all he
knew about the famous conspiracy. In
this connection It was said that during
Mr.. Carter's trial by court-martial
Capt. Greene and Col. Gaynor held
aloof from him, refusing to give him
either sympathy or .pecuniary aid, and
that Mr.. Carter. in revenge for their
treatment of him, is now willing to do
them all the injury he can.
It is a safe assertion that there is no
foundation for stories of this sort. The
public knows nothing to justify the
statement that Mr.. Carter has express
ed willingness to assist the govern
ment in prosecuting Capt. Greene and
Col. Gaynor. Indeed there has been
no time when he has not asserted his
innocence.
Besides, the statement that Capt.
Greene and Col. Gaynor gave Mr.. Car
ter no assistance during the latter's
trial is made without any knowledge
of the facts. 1t may be true that they
were not ostentatious in helping Mr..
Garter. but it is the opinion of those
who were in a position to know that
they did assist him to the utmost ex-
tent of their ability, and that they were
in close touch with him throughout his
trial. There was every reason why
they should have stood by him, wheth-
er they were guilty or innocent, be-
cause his conviction meant that they
would be indicted and prosecuted.
There has been vast amount of SEN
sational stuff written about this fam.
GUS case much of which has been pref
ty nearly, pure fiction. About all the
real history of the case will be given
to the public when the case is tried.

A GOOD WORD ron SENATOR CLAY

The New York Times pays Senator
Clay deserved compliment in its re-
view of his speech on the ship-subsidy
bill. 1t says, 1--WE congratulate Sem
ator Clay of Georgia on having taken
the post and done the work of leader
of the Democratic party in the SEN
ate with energy and distinguished abil-
ity and in a courageous fashion to
which the party has too long been I'M
used" Further along in it's article it
speaks of Mr.. Clays speech against
the bill as "absolutely unanswerable. j."
There is no doubt that the speech was
a very fine one, and it has greatly in
creased Mr.. Clays reputation as a
thinker and careful student of ques-
tions with which Congress has to deal.
Mr.. Clay has given a great deal of
time to the study of the ship-subsidy
bin. There is no phase of the subject
with which it deals that he has not
made himself familiar with. Had he
not been master of the subject he could
not have made so effective an answer
to the speech of Senator Frye who as
chairman of the Committee on Com
merce, opened the debate.
Mr.. Clay felt when he was selected
to make the argument for the oppose
ton to the bill that very heavy task
had been imposed upon him. That
was in the last Congress. but he un-
dertook it with the determination that
the country should know what the bill
meant and what its purposes were. 1t
is certain that no other Senator could
have done the work better. Senator
Vest made a brilliant speech in oppo-
sition to the bill on Monday but it did
not show the study that Mr.. Clay's
did. The latter made thorough
analysis of the measure and those who
read his speech cannot fail to see that
the bill, is not in the interest of the
producers Of the country, but of the
ship owners. Besides, it is made clear
that 1t is wrong in principle to sub
sidiZe one interest at the expense of
the others. Mr.. Clay is entitled to
the credit he is getting. If the bill
is defeated will be due largely to his
efforts.

THE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE IN
LOVE WITH WESTERN
CANADA,
They Say the Land There Is the Fin
est on arth.

A great number of delegates have
been influenced through the agency
of Mr.. j. s. Crawford, the Canadian
Government representative at Kan
sas City, to visit Western Canada, and
whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same-they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac II. Levagood writes
from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
81 met three delegates from Kan
sas yesterday at Didsbury, and took
them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the fin
est land that lays on top of
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this morn
ing I took them to Didsbury, and
they went on North. When they
come back they are coming to my
place and am going to help them to
run some lines and they are going to
locate in sight of my house. There
have been over 1900 acres of land
changed hands here in our neighbor-
hood this spring. When I located here
last Fall I was the furthest back of
any of the settlers, to-day l am in
the centre of the. settlement. We
have 36 children that are of school
age in our district, and we will have
our school district organized next
month, when we will proceed to build
our school house. The longer we stay
here the better we like the country,
that is the way with everybody here,
they all seem to be satisfied and do
ing well. / have talked with a great
many men here and they told me that
they had less than $50 when they got
here, and to-day they have got 100
acres of good land and five or six
hundred dollars worth of stock.
Crops are looking fine here, I think
this will be a good winter wheat
country. One of my neighbors has
small piece and it looks fine"

TWO ELABORATE SPRING MODELS.

The display of the dainty white gar
ments proved that at this stage in the
affairs of underwear there seems to
be preference expressed for embroid
cry over lace, and women pass unaffect
eddy huge piles of knitted silk and Isle
undervests and combinations marked
down to sacrifcial figure to gladly
purchase almost anything nice in the
form of linen and cotton goods under
wear. Knitted things had their day,
and it was the day of the excessive
tailor-made that has now given way to
coquettish frou-frouness.
Undeniably in the restoration of the
chemise vast deal of improvement in
its cut and decoration has been
achieved. Superfuous fullness at the
shoulder and in the skirt has been eff
fectively pared down, straps of ribbon
have in many cases taken the place of
armhole sleeves, and in some examples
finely graduated tucks take up all the
waist line fullness and fit the garment
smoothly to the figure. AT the lingerie
counters chemises for stout and thin
women are sold, and in nine cases out
of ten the purchaser expresses pref
erence for garments made of the finest
American cotton. Linen is nice, of
course, but even millionairess wants
her undergarments to wear, which is
more than can be expected of fine linen
