A rush of emigrants from Australia to South Africa has set in and is wor- rying the authorities of the common wealth of the southern seas. The Mel bourne papers strongly deprecate the exodus, declaring that the emigrants are largely those whom Australia can least afford to lose-laborers, artisans, mits to emigrate have to prove them selves possessed of a minimum of fl0O The requirement, together with the expense of the voyage, is an obstacle to the poor in purse but adventurous in spirit, who usually flock to gold countries. The result is that ships from Australia are suffering from a plague Of stowaways. The captain of the Fortunatus, bound from Melbourne to the Cape. found that he had twenty of these unlicensed passengers on board. Captains are usually kind to single stowaways, but when they come in battalions it is another story The captain of the Fortunatus took a dras- tic course.- He dropped all the stow aways on the Australian coast. two hundred and fifty miles from Mel bourne.

SLIGHTLY EXTERNAL.

According to Kaiser Wilhelm's re- cent order, any woman who aspires to become the wife of an officer in his army must first satisfy the superiCrs of the officer who wants to marry her with proof of her income, the standing of her parents, her educa ton, and the reputation she bears. Before an off cer's application to marry is considered he must describe the bride-elect' s father anC give his profession, and if the woman he wishes to wed happens to be divorcee, he must give the de- tails of the divorce. If all this is sat isiactory, and the prospective bride groom is rich enough to satisfy the re- viewing authority, he may go ahead and marry. There is q chance for tender, shrinking romance.-New York Journal

The moving platform scheme sug- gested by Commissioner Lindenthal for the relief of the congestion of the Brooklyn bridge has been brought to public attention at intervals for many years. In the winteI ot 1S1S-74 Alfred Speer of Passaic, N. J., laid before the board of trade and transportation in this city a model of what he called an "endless railway train for rapid tran sit of passengers to be constructed on Broadway or other thoroughfares at the time the discussion was active for the extension of rapid transit in New York It cOrresponded to what is known today as the moving side walk" being on an elevated structure. upon which were seats and shelters for traVe-ers. The moving platform first publicly shown in Chicago in 1893, and at the Paris exposition in 1900, was similar in operation to the Spaer model of nearly thirty years ago and to the one proposed for the Ige.-NeW i York Tribune.

The United States government is to expend $5OO.000 in establishing canteens
 at army posts. Instruc- HAMMERED tions have been given BY SENTI- by the secretary Of war MENT- for the organization of
 board of officers which shall determine upon the posts to be immediately supplied with and the features of the proposed canteens.
 No intoxicating beverages are to be sold in these establishments, and this. in the opinion of the officers of the army, is the great disadvantage of the proposed move. The disturbances which recently occurred at Rosslyn, Va, lying between Fort Mayer and Washington, was an object lesson to congress, which two years ago enacted the law forbidding the sale of beer, wines. or any other intoxicating drink on military reservations. "Riots of that character would never occur.' said an official of the war department, If the old custom of allowing beer
 
 were observed. When the post eX- changes were in operation the govern ment did not have to pay single cent for their equipment and maintenance. There was no drunkenness, because the military bartender would refuse to sell man more than a certain amount, and if the customer showed signs of in- toXica ton, he was immediately bun dled off to his quarters. The govern ment will now disburse half a million to take the place of the exchanges. The proposed canteens will be of value be- cause they give the enlisted man fur ther opportunities for recrea eation, but they will not stop the soldier from drinking, and he will go outside of the reservation and obtain what he wants. The exchange as operated in the army was practical temperance
 The cowardice of the average con- gressman was never better illustrated than in the surrender to the demands | of the sentimental. impra ctical ''tem- perance" leaders of the country when they insisted that the beer and light wine canteen should be abolished. In vain it was pointed out that the sol diers would leave the military reserva- tions and visit the neighboring dives where the worst liquors are sold. The | experience and protests of army off, l in fa ns ha | threats of organizations purporting ,J control the votes which could be thrown against stubborn congressman.

Nobody can tell the political future
 cult to predict how the NO territories will stand TELLING. hereafter. They are
 quite as likely to be re- publican as democratic. This is par ticularly true of Arizona. A writer in the New York Post makes an eloquent appeal for the admission of New Mex ico Into the Union, and concludes in these words as to the political phase of the question:
 'As to the argument that it is inex- pedient to give the west two more sen atorS and one more representative in congress by admitting New Mexico to statehood, it will find no echo west of the Mississippi river. It is q sectional pernicious argument. The west re- gardS itself as the backbone of the na- tion, and to deny it its just represen- tation in national affairs is regarded as nothing short of a national crime.
 'The smallest and the meanest argu- ment of all is that New Mexico may possibly be a democratic state after admission to statehood. New Mexico is republican at present, it will be re- publican at the November election this year, but beyond that it can give no guarantee-aS little as can New York or Ohio. The future will depend more upon the party than upon New Mexico, for New Mexico is likely to be found on the right side in national questions Of late years, the territory has been politically of the same complexion as the national administra tion. for the party in power has appointed the fed eral and many of the territorial off, cials. But it is growing from the out side. and an influx of 25,000 people in | twelve months can easily wipe out a majority of 4,000 one way or the other As a rule. however, the sturdy men who are moving westward from the east are independent and clear think ing, and likely to hold patriotism above party. It will take a good prophet in deed to foretell how they will vote foul or five or ten years hence. This muct 1 is certain-the people of New Mexico will feel kindly toward the party that | will give them statehood"

time the company is in working order it is expected that it will be simple matter to telephone anywhere within twenty miles. The ground is used as a conductor. All that is needed is to connect the telephone in a room with the transmitter or receiver by means of short wire with the nearest water or gas pipe. which will carry the cur rent to and from the earth. The walls of houses do not form any obstacle. These brief facts are culled from a special cablegram to the New York Sun. To be able to telephone through the ground and air to a single point twenty miles distant, would be an achievement to startle the world.
