Chill is Agreeable or not.
1T is understood, according to
Washington dispatch, that way may
be found by which two naval officers or
high rank will take part in the corona
ton ceremonies at London. Although
the question Of selecting officers for
this service has not yet been consider
ed by the president or the secretary OF
the navy, yet the prospects that such
selections will be made, has caused
much speculation in naval circles. The
present indications are that the presi-
dent will select civilian representative
for the coronation, and also one officer
OF the army and one officer of the navy
to accompany the civilian. Quite apart
from this, the navy will be represented
by a squadron In English waters, with
a rear admiral in command. The ef-
feet of this arrangement will be to
place two naval officers Of high rank In
service in connection with the corona
tion.

where his system Is in use, hunting for
a new word. They are cast about for
short and simple term to stand for the
laborious expression now employed. "A
message transmitted by wireless tele-
graph" One genius Of the war depart
ment suggests: "Atmospherogram." A
student Of natural forces in the navy
believes that "Etherogram" would be
better. "Aerogram" and "Airgram,"
quite as convenient as telegram and
"cablegram," find much favor, but Gen.
Greeley, chief of the signal service, has
not taken kindly enough to these to ad-
vocate their use in official reports, and
therefore their adoption into the Ian
guage. "Marconigram" has been sug-
gested by an ingenious layman, who
says that no matter what term is off,
cially coined. the popular word will al
ways be wireless"
ON January l, Governor Savage, OF
Nebraska, handed paper to the little
daughter of BARLEY. Nebraska's de-
faulting ex-state treasurer, and told her
to take it to the state penitentiary to
her father. The paper was a pardon,
and BARLEY has since been free man
in his home at Lincoln. While he was
state treasurer Bartleys accounts were
found to be $75O,O00 short. This, he as
serted was in state banks and its with
drawal would embarrass the whole
state, causing a panic. When the hard
times, by reason Of drouth, came on,
many state banks failed. BARLEY was
sentenced to 10 years in the penitentia-
ry. He had served four when pardon
ed. Bart,ey's pardon is certain to call
down upon the governor adverse crit
icism. In a long explanation he says
his clemency was exercised because he
thought BARLEY had suffered adequate
ly and that he had been made politi-
cal and personal scapegoat.
AT a recent meeting Of the members
Of the West End Presbyterian church,
in New York, it was decided to en-
dorse the work for the proposed amend
ment Of the constitution so that polyg-
amy may be made impossible in the
United States. Rev. N. E. Clemenson.
of Logan, Utah, was the principal
speaker. He told Of polygamy as he
had seen it in his own state, and how
the Mormons were still living with
many wives, contrary to their pledges
when Utah was admitted to statehood.
He thought the dangers in Idaho great
er than in Utah, as less attention Is
paid to Mormons there, and they live
openly with their wives under the sys-
tenn they call celestial marriage" and
which they deny is polygamy. Mrs.
w. P. White, who for some years has
been doing missionary and educational
work among Mormons, told how her
school house had been attacked and
wrecked by a mob. She declared that
the Mormon church had political con-
troll of seven western states. Mrs.
White also said that under their mar
velous system of colonizing doubtful
states the Mormons before long would
control 13 states, and 1t would then be
impossible to kill polygamy without
civil war.
Some of the main features Of pro-
tocol between the United States and
Nicaragua referred to in President Ze-
laya's message to his congress have
been made known in recent press dis
patches from Managua. But there are
many other important features which
have not yet been disclosed, one of these
being the complete American jurisdic-
tion, and the establishment Of Ameri-
can courts, civil and criminal, through
out a zone six miles wide and extending
from ocean to ocean, and including the
proposed termini, Greytown on the At
lantic and Brito on the Pacific. The
entire policing of this large tract also
is placed in the hands of the United
States so that it has power to preserve
order and after that to issue judicial
process extending throughout this zone.
Besides the authority of American
courts and of American police on the
six mile zone, the chief features Of the
protocol are in giving lease in perpetui
ty of this tract to the United States
and at the same time giving an Amer
lean guarantee that the independence,
sovereignty and integrity of Nicaragua
shall not be disturbed by the rights
thus conferred upon the United States.
