The President and Navy.

It Is noticeable that turnout his pres

failed, when he nakessa speech, to present
a strong appeal in behalf of deep and
abiding public interest in the building up
Of a navy adequatesto the nations need.

discussion of its importance, he referred
emphatically to the necessity for an effect

Thirteen years ago Captain Mahan
wrote: It is the preparedness Of the

as true to-day as 1T was then. On this

The Bond Problem.

Delaying much needed municipal i'm
provements is a very serious matter, hu
we believe that the council took the
right course last night in voting to adver
tise again for bids for $s15,00O, with 1ht
conditions the same as before; that is, in.
terest at Sa per cent and a minimum
quotation Of par. We are informed by {
good authority on the bond market thai
1T IS likely that about July 1 bids may
be expected complying with the conditions
imposed, as the payments of the dividends
on stocks and interest on bonds at that
time will release for Investment large
amounts Of money. The same authority
assures us that the lack Of bids hereto
fore Is not due to a determination of bid
but is due to the fact that investors are
able to get better terms from railway and
business corporations, one big Minneapo-
lis company, for instance, having issued
some hundreds of thousands Of bonds al
per cent. Laws governing savings banks
in several eastern states are now much
more liberal than they were, and such in
situations are not restricted to the bonds Of
governmental bodies. It is simply case
of competition forcing up the interest
rate. where money is scarce In this con
nection it is pointed out that while the
3la per cent school bonds were taken by a
broker, they are not going to the inves-
tors very rapidly at the rate of 102 de-
handed But by July 1 there will be
more available money, and 81 per cent
bond will be more attractive to brokers
and investors than just now.
In view of the large deposits in Mime
apolis savings banks that are only draw
ing per cent, the suggestion Of Con-
gresham Lind that it might be possible
to sell our bonds in small denominations
and lots to the patrons Of such banks is,
on it's face, a good one. The trouble. is
that the council is bound by the law to
accept the highest bids for bonds, though
they are issued in small denominations.
OF courses, a man with 500 to invest can
not bother with bids and the certainty
that he will have his trouble for nothing
unless by some chance all the small bid
and make up enough to take the-whole is
sue. What we ought to have is law au-
thortzing the local public to subscribe for
bonds at par for a certain length Of time
before bids are invited. That is the way
the popular subscriptions bonds were. ham
died at the beginning Of the Spanish
American war. The small individual in
weston must be treated as an outright
buyer, not as bidder. We have no
doubt that a very respectable portion OF
every city bond issue would be taken by
home people of small savings, if the law
made it possible. st 7

MARIE's ESTIMATE OF EMERson

II. W. MdD1e In E1arper'S,
Concerning the quality and rank of his
work there is general agreement: he ha :
survived the reaction which follows tha
death of writer of original and indi-
vldual force; the defects Of his prose. the
limitations Of his verse are clear enough:
but the depth Of his insight, the lift Of
his thought, the freshness of his spirit
the felicity Of his speech and its penetra-
ton, the Wholeness and symmetry of his
life; these far beyond the region Of
questioning. He explained America to her
self In terms Of the spiritual life, he set

HAD THE PONTIFF
SAY "THIRTY-THREE''

Prof. Rossoni went through the most
careful examination of the patient,
using again the Baccelli system. The
consultation lasted over two hours.
The. patient, as one feature of the in
vestigation, was made to pronounce
the Italian word 'thirty-three," which,
in a case where there is indicated the
presence of badly acting heart, a
vitiated circulation and serum in the
.pleura, to anyone listening at the pa
TENTS side presents a sound as if the
conSonants in the word thirty three"
had been dropped. Teh experiment,
unfortunately, proved not only the
presence of fluid in the pleura, but it's
rapid augmentation, SO that it already
afflicted the patient with the same dis
turbances, that were observed on last
Tuesday. 1t was evident that another
operation would be indispensable.
A state of great proStration ensued,
rendering worse the affection of the
kidneys. 1t is likely that an injection
of salt water into the veins will be
resorted to. The diarrhoea which APP
peared in the afternoon and occasion
ed the consultation has ceased.

USUAL CALCULATIONS
DO NOT APPLY HERE

Following the issuance Of this bulle-
tin the doctors freely expressed their
personal convictions regarding the ex-
IRENE gravity of athe case. DR.. lap
POM said, without Capitalization, that
the patients condition was beyond
hope. He did not expect final col
lapse last night, but rather a gradual
sinking until the end came. How long
the sufferer may last the doctors will
not venture any prediction. Ordinary
this extraordinary case. One Of them
remarked:
Here is q man almost a hundred
years old retaining all his mental and
most of his physical faculties and
bravely combating the approach of
death. Although the conditions change
from hour to hour, the essential con-
ditions of mental alertness and physic-
al vigor continue unbroken. Never
yet has there been the slightest lapse
into incoherency.''
Whatever may be the outcome, the
Vatican world has fully made UP its
mind that the death of the pope is
only question of days at the most
and probably only Of hours. With this
being the prevalent view, every detail

Of profound grief and as the perform

leading to the pope's apartments was
thronged with distinguished visitors
seeking information as to the pope's
condition. Practically the entire diplo-

The popular solicitude for the pope's

AUDITOR PETTY MAY
HAVE TO RESIGN
And Washington, Like North Dakota,
Has an Alex Mckenzie.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 9.-The
commissioners of the District of CO.
lumbia today took action concerning
the suggested exchange of places be-
tween Auditor Petty and Alexander
Mckenzie, member of the board of
personal tax appraisers. The fact hav-
ing been discovered that Mr.. McKen-
zie, while deputy auditor, approved
vouchers for the payment of large
amounts of money to the Washington
Asphalt Block and Tile company, Of
which he was secretary, the commits
sioners concluded not to appoint him
auditor.
Mr. Mckenzie was given the alterna-
tive of severing his connection with the
company or resigning from the district
service. He chose the former and soon
announced that he had disposed of his
entire holdings. Mr.. Mckenzie, while
deputy auditor, transacted the bust
ness of his company and commissioner
on the same desk In the district gen.
eral building. Unless some person can
be found who will exchange places
with Auditor Petty, it is said the latter
will be forced to resign.

DOWN A MOUNTAIN +
ON A BICYCLE
Montana Divine Illustrates What Can
Be Done With Nerve.

Special to The Globe.
HAVRE, Mont, July 9-Rev. DR..
William Hooking, of this city, has just
taken ride down the Bear Paw noun
tains on bicycle, and has escaped
with his life. In company with several
other men the doctor fkicended to the
top of the great hills, which are
smooth and slope off gradually.
While at the summit a member of
the party began joking the doctor in
regard to his ability to ride down the
hill. The doctor replied that it could
be done with ease if the rider could
keep his nerve. Then he mounted his
wheel and went flying down the long
slope, which would carry him to the
plains, five miles away, unless he could
stop his wheel part way down the
mountain side. Instead of stopping,
the doctor continued, his feet on the
handle bars of the sachine. 1t seemed
as if he were flying, and his friends
expected every moment to see him
pitched headlong from the wheel.
The doctor made the trip in safety,
a record breaking trip, and was wait
ing for his friends at the foot of the
mountain when they arrived, an hour
later.
