WASHINGTON LETTER.
washington, November 2. 1903.

washington, November 2. 1908.
Politicians here are discussing seri-
ously the creation of new depart
ment. of insular affairs. The need of
such department to consider matters
relating to insular or colonial affairs
of the United States is apparent to ev-
eryone who has anything to do with
the constantly increasing problems
which arise in the government of our
outlying possessions. The bureau OF
insular affairs in the war department
has a staff of 100 clerks, and. is not
able to do nearly all that many peo-
pie expect of it. If all the work re-
lating to the insular affairs of the
government we're brought together un-
der a single department, its amount,
as we'll as it's Importance, would be
equal to that of the other great de-
partments of the government. def
mite representation of the islands in
the presidents cabinet would bring
about more unity in colonial rela-
tions, and would permit a more syste
matte supervision from the capital.
The name "insular'' is preferred to
colonial, and it would apply liter
ally to all our possessions except Alas
ka. It is hardly in keeping with our
political ideas that the government of
the Philippines should be represented
at the capital by a bureau in the war
department. Porto Rico. ON the other
hand, has no administrative head
quarters here. Not day passes but
that many persons call at the insular
bureau to inquire something. about
Porto Rico, only to be informed that
the bureau has had nothing to do with
Porto Rico since May l, 1900. There
is nobody in Washington to answer
inquiries of this sort, and those seek
ing information are referred to Gov
ernor Hunt. If a cablegra1n comes
here from Porto Rico there is. no one
to whom it can go except the presi-
dent, and he has not the time to at
tend to the questions which. it may
raise. 1t is believed that the Danish
West Indies will soon belong. to the
United States, and: Guam and Tutuila
are already dependencies, although
they have no definite relations to the
national government. We have these
islands and we intend to keep them,
SO we might as we'll face the issue
squarely, define their status and gov
ern them systematically. Nothing

"It is not, we must confess, alto

addition to the upper lip in the shape
of a black mustache that contrasts
most admirably with head of silver
gray but it is like the man and will
be welcome to his many admirers"
The reference here to the mustache
is interesting for the reason that every
portrait of Thackeray, with one excep-
ton, represents him with a clean
shaven upper lip, the exception being
Maclise's pencil drawing Of the famous
"Titmarsh," which, however, belongs
to a much earlier date-viZ, about
1870 and in which there is just

But taking all these things into con-
sideration. | am convinced from little
things | have observed that the fish Is
pretty wise member and that he at
least knows what is good for him
when he Is confronted by the blunt is
sue of surviving or not surviving. Why
Is 1T that fish always founders to-
ward the water? That's the point
have in mind, and 1t is the one fact
above all others that has convinced
me that the fish has more sense than
we think. l have never seen fish
that would not founder toward the
water.
Il know two answers will be made
to this suggestion. One is that there
Is generally slope toward the water,
and that hence the force of gravity
determines the direction Of the fish's
movement And the other Is pri.
mary reason-thc matter of instinct,
as distinguished from reason. These
explanations do not satisfy me. In
the first place, l reject the theory
which makes difference between In.
stinct and reason. l cannot tell the
difference between the attributes, so
much are they alike. In the second
place, l want to tell you that l have
seen fish floundering up hill. Why?
Simply because they were forced to
founder up hill in order to get back
into the water. Does fish know any
thing about direction and distance? l
think so. l have seen them jump and
founder up hill, inch after inch, until
they got back to the edge Of the
stream out of which they had been
jerked. 1t may be what some of the
writer's call instinct but to save my
soul l can't tell instinct from what
we are accustomed to regard as reason

Expensive "Flat" Craze Only Begin.
ming In British Metropolis.
The demand for flats shows no sign
of abatement in London, according to
the London Mail. They are increasing
In number not only in the center, but
in every suburb, and rents are rising,
too. Formerly the man who spent
more than tenth Of his income on his
house was considered extravaganza To-
day the Londoner living in a central
district considers 1t necessary to spend
fourth and sixth. And experts on
the question declare that rents will
steadily go higher. The most extensive
flats are naturally in Mayfair. A suit
of three or four reception and six bed
rooms in Park Lane will cost 5000 a
year. In Harley street the price is
nearly as much. Around Albert Gate
similar accommodation will cost 5000,
In Ashley gardens-considered two
years ago the very Mecca of the fat
hunter-you can obtain for from 1900
to 1900 year pretty little suite with
two or three reception rooms and four
or five bedrooms. For f4OO year q
couple more bedrooms will be added.
Around Sloane street rents are rath-
or higher. Flats overlooking the parks,
such as the splendid mansion now
erected near Regents park, command
high rents An apartment on the fifth
floor at Regents park, containing three
reception and six bedrooms. can be
had for fi50 year. Coming nearer
the city, rents decline. In the great
region between Charing Cross and Rus

With all its other eccentricities, the
Missouri river leaks badly; for you
know there are leaky rivers as well
as lcaky boats. The government engi-
neers once measured the flow of the
Missouri away up in Montana, and
again some hundred miles further
down stream. TO their surprise, they
found that the Missouri, instead of
growing bigger down stream, as every
rational river should, was actually 20
900 second-feet smaller at the lower
point.
Now, while 10000 second-feet could
be spared from such a tremendous riv-
CT, that amount of water makes con
siderable stream of itself. Many very
celebrated rivers never had so much
water in their lives. Hence there was
great amaZement when the discrepancy
was discovered. But Of late years Da-
kota farmers away to the south and
east Of those points on the Missouri,
sinking artcsian wells, found immense
volumes Of water where the biologists
said there wouldn't be any. SO 1t Is
believed that the farmers have tapped
the water leaking from that big hole in
the Missouri river away up in Mon
tana: and from these wells they irri-
gate large tracts Of land, and, natu-
rally they don't want the river bed
mended. Fancy what blessing 1t is,
when the weather Is dry. to have a
river boiling out Of your well, ready
to flow where you want 1t over the
wheat fields. For of all manner OF
work that river can be put to, irri-
cation Is. think. the most useful. But
isn't that queer way for the Missouri
