ENGLAND INTERESTED
LOOKING FOR PROTECTION FROM
SHIPPING COMBINE.
Admiralty is Considering Whole Mat
ter Of Ship Subsidies for an
Emergency.

LONDON, April 24.-In the house of COM
mons today the secretary of the admiralty,
Hugh o. Arnod-Forster. replying to ques-
ton, said the admiralty was considering
the whole matter of ship subsidies with the
view of defining the rights of the admiralty
IN the event of contingencies arising, such
as the suggested shipping combine.
When the present form of agreement was
settled upon, no trade combinations under
foreign control were contemplated; but, the
admiralty had appointed committee to
consider and report on the purpose and
form OF future subsidy agreements The
admiralty, in the meanwhile, had made ar
rangements with the White Star line, which
preclude the possibility of any of their
armed cruisers or merchant steamers being
transferred to a foreign flag without the
consent of the admiralty during the unex-
pired portion of the admiralty agreements
Legal Points Involved.
Important legal points We're involved, in
Guiding the questions whet her, in the event
of war, there was anything to prevent
these companies from substituting a for
egn for the British flag at short notice
and whether the admiralty has the means
of enforcing its right of pre-emption or
hire in such cases; or, if by abandoning
the subvention the companies could claim
that the right of pre-emption ceased. All
such points would be carefully considered
and the admiralty's right would be ascer-
tanned.
NEW YORK, April 24.-One of the lead
ing spirits in the international steamship
combination organized by j. P. Morgan to-
day authorized a denial of reports that
pressure Is being brought to bear to force
the Compagnie Generate TranSatlantique
INTO the combination. 1t is admitted that
negotiations have occurred between MIR.
morgan and representatives of the French
nne but they have not advanced to that
stage where they can be publicly discussed.
1t mas been suggested that the new COM
blne will probably enter into close rela-
tions with the Pacific steamship lines con-
trolled by j. j. Hill, thus effecting world
wide community of steamship interests
tranScontinental railroad lines. Such sug-
well known that the Morgan and Hill in
terests in the steamship business, no less
than In several railroad schemes, are prac-
tically Identical.
There is no thought at this time of TAX
ing any of the coastwise lines into the
Morgan combination, although it is pointed
out that several such lines running to
Mexico, Central and South American ports
offer great possibilities in the way of in
creased business. VIM. r. Grace who con-
trolls large South American interests. has
been a frequent visitor to the Morgan bank
ing house recently. but his business. it is
believed, had nothing to do with the steam
ship combine

tinued his speech in opposition to it.
He quoted from the testimony of Gen.
Macarthur before the committee on Phil
ippines in accounting for the disproportion
of the killed and wounded among the Fill
pinos. Gen. MacArthur's explanation was:
1T arises from the fact that our soldiers
are trained in target practice. In other
words. they know how TO shoot. The Fill
pino soldiers do not know how to shoot
The explanation made by General Mac
Arthur was not satisfactory. in the opinion
of Mr.. Rawlins. The senator's explana-
tion was this: Our troops We're directed
not to cucumber themselves with prisoners,
and not to burden themselves witra the
wounded. The Filipinos were swept from
the face of the earth. This was in execu-
tion of the program to make of the Wis
ayan district a. hcw1ing wilderness and to
extermnate all the people over the age of

STRATEGIC VALUE
 or DANISH ISLANDS.

Public interest in the proposed pur- chase of the Danish islands in the West Indies is accentuated by the re- cent change in the canal situation. Al though recognizing the strategic value of St. Thomas, the public has always manifested much indifference to the various proposals for its purchase, es- pecially since we acquired through the war with Spain a naval base at Porto Rico, which would doubtless enable us to control the principal passages through the West Indies as well as the approaches to the proposed Nicaraguan canal.
 The digging of the canal across the isthmus of Panama, however, as now recommended by the Walker commis- sion, would greatly increase the strat- eglc value of the island of St. Thomas to the United States 4 base command ing the approach to the isthmus is of the highest importance to this govern ment, whether the canal is cut across it or not, but in the event of congress deciding to follow the last recommen- dation of the canal commission even the "anti-imper!alists" would doubt less concede the commercial necessity of assuring our absolute control of the water way under all conditions. With naval bases at St. Thomas and Porto Rico our command of the Virgin Pas sage would be secure and undisputed. Notwithstanding the greatly increased strategic value of the Danish islands, St. Thomas and St. John, to the United States, the price said to be fixed in the Hay treaty is much less than the one stipulated in the treaty of 1865. in which Denmark ceded the islands to this government, and which was finally rejected by the senate. The price named in that treaty was $7,500, 900 The Danish group, including the island of St. Croix, is now offered, it is said for s, coo, ,OOO to 5000, 900.
 Recent events have emphasized tn, importance of acquiring these islands not only because of their strategi' value as naval bases, but because thei possession will avert the possible ne cessity for our warning other power to keep hands of.

THE Washington report that \

THE Washington report that Mark Smith will resign if the Arizona statehood bill is not passed, shows that our delegate has got his Kentucky Irish up. Such action would result in Marks reelection, of course, but Mark is used to that sort of thing. But, seriously, we can see no good that could come of such action. Statehood IS dear to the people of Arizona, but there other are important matters in congress that requires our delegate to remain at his post of duty, no matter how many indignities the Republicans place upon his constituents.

IT is predicted that the Gila Valley Telephone will soon be connected with all the principal towns in Arizona. This is said to be contemplated by tho Pacific States Telephone company. The towns of the Gila valley and the min ing towns ih the east end of the coun- ty are now connected by the Gila Val ley Telephone company. This is a home company and while long dis tance line might do some business there, still the people would hardly divert their local business from the old home company.

The Gladiator.

Robert Downing has sold at a
large figure the privilege Of playing
"The G adiator'' to Sanford Dodgr
who will produce it at the Warren
Opera House Oct. Goth, 1902. The
story of The Gladiator is as follows
Niger, Throcian, is taken as slave
and is trained as Gladitor. but be.
fore .,e was captured his wife has
been murdered and his child stolen.
He with other Gladiators attempt to
form an alliance with the Christians
through their priest Origen who re-
fuses.as the Christians do not fight
with swords. He is then promised
his freedom by the Empress if he
kills girl who is the Empress rival
for the love OF Flavian. At first he
consents, but after meeting the girl
decides to remain a slave rather than
kill the innocent maiden Neodamia.
This angers the empress and he is
ordered to the Arena to fight lions
and tigers. In the meantime the
Empress seeks to prevent the mar
riage OF Neodamia and Flavian by
promising Flavian half of the empire
if he will renounce the girl and marry
her. This Flavian refuses to do so
the empress condemns Neodamia to
death in the arena during the games
and when the populaB are all as
sembled commands the Gladiator to
kill her. This he again refuses to do,
but when he sees they will not spar
her anyway, he decides it will be
better for him to do the deed than
have her thrown to the lions. AS he
is about to strike, he discovers a
scar on her neck which proves that
she is his own daughter. He then
defes the decrees OF Rome in a mag
nifcent speech ending with "Let
them come down into the arena and
take her if they dare" They are
then thrown into prison and sur
rounded by the infuriated mob who
demand their death. With every
hope Of escape cut off and with the
mob pounding at the walls OF the
prison, there remains n. thing to do
but to end it all, which the Gladia-
tor does by killing his loved daugh-
ter and then himself. The last act is
sad but the most beautiful OF the en-
tire play.
