SURRENDER OF AGUA DULCE.
A Complete Victory for tho Colo m binn
 Rebels.

Panama, Colombia, Sept. 9.-The sur render to the Colombian insurgents of the government general Morales Berti and the troops of his command at Agua Dulce, which has previously been re- ported, and which was generally be- lieved to have taken place, has now been confirmed This news reached Panama through some former conserv- ative prisoners of the insurgents who were liberated yesterday at San Carlos as result of the landing there of an expedition from the government fleet of gunboats.
 General Berti, who had been besieged at Agua Dulce by the insurgents since July 2S, only surrendered when his cause was hopeless. Tn the act of sur render the insurgent general Benjamin Herrera declares that he recognizes the abnegation of General Berti and his men, whom he succeeded in dominating because of the superiority of his forces and the quantity of munitions of war of all his kinds at his disposition. He promises to hold inviolate the lives and honor of his prisoners, and he allows General Berti to retain his sword as a mark of honor in recognition of his heroic defense of Agua Dulce The sur rendered generals and officers have been paroled at Penenome and Santiago de Veraguas.

THE TOTTRIST TRAVEL.

The estimate of the railroad passen- ger agents that there are twenty-seven thousand tourists in Colorado at the present time is probably very nearly correct if the figures given are justified by the records of the joint ticket agen- cy.
 The amount of the tourist travel has not been as large this season as 1t was expected to be- but there seems to be an easy way to account for this. The weather has been abnormally cool in the east this season, and people have had little inducement an account of the temperature to escape to the mountains. It Is only when the hot weather drives them out of the large cities that people of moderate means make long tours to remote sections of the country in search of physical comfort.
 It was hoped that the number of tour ists this year would approach close to one hundred thousand, but with those now in the state and those to come add ed to those who have already returned home. the figure will hardly reach that amount. It is highly creditable, howeV- CT, considering the unfavorable condi- tions arising from the lack of warm weather in the east and the middle west. The records of the baggage agents at the Union depot show that there were more pieces handled in July of this year than in July, 1901 which may be accepted as evidence that the tourist business this year is at least as good as 1t was last.
 Our people cannot give too much at- tention to this source of revenue. It should be developed to the highest de- gree possible It is as unfailing as the desire of people to visit new and attrac- tive scenes and the ability of men to gratify such tastes. Though al the tourists in the world should visit Colo rado every year, they could not mar the beauty and grandeur of our scenery or deprive the climate of it's salubrity and health-restoring qualities Every pos sible inducement should be held out to tourists to come to Colorado, and all that may be needed should be done for their accommodations Republi- can.

NO SMALL NAMES NOWADAYS.

It is not merely that the American navy ranks among the first world five. All lesser fleets have disappeared. There are no small fleets to-day. There were even twenty years ago. Two cen turies ago Holland was still equal to an even fight with England in a contest that had endured for a century. and mght have endured longer but for the peril in which Louis XIV put the Low Countries The battle of the Baltic had it's centenary only last year; it will be five years before that of the Danish surrender to Lord Cathcart and Admi- ral Gambler (whose conduct in the Basque Roads had it's recent parallel in our servlce), and until these twin events Denmark had still a fleet deemed worth destroying at the cost of an act of atro- cious bad faith. The Barbary States had fleets up to century ago equal to naval warfare. It is just over third of a century since an Austrian fleet de- stroyed the Italian at Lissa, battle with the twin lesson that ships alone do not make a fighting force, and that a naval commander may, like Admiral Tegetthoff, know how to win the great
 est naval victory between Navarino and the Yalu, and yet so use his fleet as to make its influence unfelt and niappre
 ciable on the general conduct of the war. To-day Austria has not first class battleship carrying twelve-inch gun, and but two modern fighting ves- sells of the second class worth consider ing. They brought Turkey to terms. They would be feared by no other pow
 CT When Secretary Tracy wrote his first report, he ranked both Austria and Turkey as stronger than the United States, which then ranked twelfth in the list, taking the mere numerical strength of armored vessels and cruls- CTS. In 1877 Turkey had fleet which held it's own against Russia in the Black Sea, and under commander like Hobart Pacha would have sustained the traditional reputation of it's flag in the Levant. Since the Ertogrul foundered in 1890 off the coast of Japan, with @ loss of five hundred and fortyseven out of six hundred men, no Turkish vessel has ventured on a voyage. though 6 Turkish yard In 1898 launched an iron clad which was laid down in 1878. A London engineering weekly, in April, 1898, ranked the Spanish fleet above the American. Since July, 1898. no such es- innate has been made. The Spanish navy is now of little more consequence than the fleet it's only great admiral de- feated at Lepanto. Chili, in 1881, had a stronger fleet than the United States. There were then least dozen flags capable of giving a fair account of themselves, as there had been through all the history or organized European warfare. So far as the reckoning of the day goes. they have disappeared. The little folk among the nations have ceased to maintain navies. The fight ing force of the five great nations has become so visible and so calculable that nothing else is considered. The lesser powers own vessels. They no longer possess a navy in any proper sense of the word.--Atantic Monthly.

Tarkington's expense; but there has been some serious discussion of plan which is too respectable in it's source and commendabe in it's intent to be laughed out of court at the outset.
 Mir. TarkingtOn's idea, of course, is to stimuate and foster through a form of state subsidy promising infant indus try. There are several obvious objec- tions to the scheme. A state where, as one critic says, every third man, wo- man and child is an author in some stage" would seem to be hardly the right field for bounty-fed authorship. Why stimulate an industry the present output of which is far in advance of the demand?
 Again, the proposal to provide a cash incentive to genius starts the old ques- tion, is work of the grade MT. Parking ton presumably aims to call out ever done mainly From the motive he ap- peals to If the ability to produce such work exists in the state of Indiana is may be depended upon to make itself known without the inducement of a cash prize hung up'' by the legislature. Besides, the money inducenlent to lite rary power and originality is already abundantly supplied by the publishers. MT. TarkingtOn himself is certainly in position to know that if a writer has manuscript really worth publishing the chances are that he can sell it for a sum compared with which one oe his cash prizes would seem paltry indeed. ;, NHn orlyi oto r11aT7 ic objectionable, not because it is wrong or ridiculous, but because it is needless. If Indiana literature needs tonic. it is hardly the pecuniary one prescribed by MT. Tarkington.
 MT. Tarkington might contend that while publishers are willing to pay handsomely for genius, they are prover- bially blind to it, and the state-appoint- ed tribunal might supply their lack of judgment. But this again would raise a question that is at lease an open one. The late MT Kegan Paul, the great London publisher, used to deny emphat- ically the stock stories of master pieces" going the rounds of the trade unrecognized. The difficulty, he added, twas not that publishers did not recog- nize genius, but that it was scarce and hard to find"-which may hold true even in Indiana. Publishers as a race are keen for profit, eager and practised in the perpetual hunt for what is fresh and original. It may be safely said that an author sure of some peculiar and novel merit in his work would nine times out of ten take his chances with the experts of the trade rather than with Mir Tarkington's' committee-the average state legislature not forming just the ideal panel from which to se- lect literary iuries.-Indianapolis Senti- mel

They were silent for a few moments, and then the Christian, with tears in his eyes, grasped the hand of his partner and said:
