For fear that President Roosevelt

Maine Mystery to Be Solved.

Washington, March 29.-The navy
department has been notified that
the work OF the battle ship Maine is
to be raised in Havana harbor, thus
making possible a final solution Of
the mystery surrounding the manner
in which the vessel was blown up.
The wreck is to be raised by Cuba, at
her own expense and bids for the
work have been asked.
Ever since the conclusion OF the
Spanish war the navy department.
has been besieged with requests from
contractorsfor the privilege OF raising
the famous wreck. The department
has invariably replied that there was
no fund for this work and that, at
any rate, Cuba's consent to the rails
| ing Of the wreck would be necessary
before the work could be undertaken.
There is still much curiosity and
difference OF opinion as to whether
the Maine was destroyed by some
outside power, or, as the Spanish
claim, by spontaneous combustion
In her magazines. The question will
probably be settled finally when the
wreck is raised.

For member School Board,
]. s. FRANCISCO.
BUDDING B00MS.

1t il believed that the budding
booms for governor OF both james
Ii. Whitecotton, speaker OF the
House, and Lieut., Governor John A.
Lee were injured by legislative frosts
of the session OF the General Assem-
bly, Just closed. 1t takes a mighty
level headed man to come unscathed
from these legislative muddles, that
have proven grave yards for many
aspiring statesmen. 1t is said that
Sam B. Cook, secretary OF state, had
the good Judgment and adroitness
to steer clear OF these breakers and
his gubernatorial stockihes risen ac-
cordingly. 1t is conceded on all
hands that if Supreme Judge Jas. B.
CAN'T concludes to enter this race,
he 10 a factor that will have to be
reckoned with.
1t is thought that the develop
ments in the late senatorial canvas,
demonstrates pretty conclusively
that a man need not expect to be a
successful candidate for two Offices
at once, or that holding an impor-
tant Office at the hands OF the people
he will be expected to fill out his
term or resign before being elected to
another. There are exceptions, how
ever, to all rules, and Judge Gantt's
fitness and ability is so wellrecogniz-
ed and his great popularity among
the people so generally conceded that
it is admitted by those who hold to
the above views that he would, in
the event of his being a candidate,
prove a strong factor in the race.
James Reed, Mayor OF Kansas City,
has enthusiastic friends all over the
state who are backing him to win.
Entries are not yet closed and a new
candidate may enter who will change
all the books. There is no lack Of
good material already before the
public, and it is evident that no Sc
rious mistake can be made.

Governor Dockery has vetoed the
bill establishing an appellate court
at Springfield, as believed by many
thoughtful meH throughout the
state, who had given the matter
thought, that he would do. There
is no judicial necessity for this court.
1t would have added to the burdens
of the state revenues without giving
a compensating advantage. The
appellate courts, as now established
in st. Louis and Kansas City, are
we'll up with their work. 1t would
have been some advantage to Spring.

The Philadelphia Record says:
$50 far as the state of Missouri is
cocerned, the members OF the Beef
Trust are made outlaws by judicial
decree, as they are in fact. 1t is true
that the payment OF the money fine,
high as it is, will constitute a trifiing
penalty in comparison with the
enormous extortions Of the trust.
Yet the power that has imposed this
fine upon the outlaws caninhict upon
them a more condign penalty should
they continue to treat court DEGREES

CRUM IS NOW COLLECTOR.
The Bond Of the Charleston Negro Has
Been Approved.

Washington, March 27.-W. D.
Crum, a negro, is now collector OF the
port OF Charleston. Secretary Shaw
to day approved Crum's bond for
$50, 900 and his commission is al
ready in Charleston. 1t was the
original intention OF Crum to file a
bond, Endorsed by reliable personal
friends, but upon consideration it
was deemed advisable to follow the
now almost general practice Of being
bonded by surety company. The
Fidelity and Guaranty company OF
Baltimore furnished the necessary
bond. Thus Crum continues to be a
national issue. He will probably
qualify within Q few days and take
charge OF the Charleston. eusto~l
house. When Congress rs-assemblss
next winter, Crum's nomination will
have to be submitted again to the
Senate. His friends may delay &C.
tion indefinitely and in the meantime
he will continue in office at the pleas
ure Of the President. Deputy Collec-
tor Barnwell, who is now in charge Of
the custom house, has publicly an
nounced that he will not serve under
a negro collector, so that will give
DR.. Crum at least one chance to make
disappointment. Several other white
men employed in the custom house
have also declared their intention
to resign if Crum is commissioned
but it is understood there are al
least fifty applications from white
men for positions under Crum.

The immigration Problem.
It Isn't Always the Foreigner Whose
Influence Is Bad.

Worried people are now discussing
the possible consequences Of sending
money to the oppressed Jews Of Rus
STA and other countries and practi-
cally inviting them to come 10 the
United States. They point out the
fact that even the strictest immigra-
ton laws cannot keep out these Jews
If they can get means TO come to this
country, and that New York alone, to
say nothing Of other cities, already
has a million and a quarter Of for
eign-born citizens. 1t is admitted
that the foreigner frequently makes
good citizen, but it is urged that
the advent Of this type complexities
the problem, already difficult, Of
municipal government.
All this is doubtless true, but an
other fact which is too often bhnked
at is no less true The officials and
legislators whose corruption makes
the State rotten are, curously
enough, more often native Ameri-
cans, whose ancestors were also Amer
lean, than foreigners. 1t Is here that
reform is most needed. The immi-
grant comes over here with ideals of
free government which are often too
high 10 be realized in any possible
city at the present day. The least we

A Fortunate Monarch.

As the Sultan of Johore, sovereign Of
a large kingdom TO the north Of Singa-
pore, subject to the suZerainty OF the
British crown, is TO pay visit 10 this
country after leaving Australia, II may
be lust as well to draw attention to the
fact that he cannot be sued or prose-
cuted in any American courts, from the
Jurisdiction OF which he viii be just as
much exempt while in this country as
any OF the foreign ambassadors at Wash

Attention has been drawn to this pre-
rogative enjoyed by foreign sovereigns
when they travel abroad. by the failure
of 4 suit brought by Melbourne artist
against the Sultan for the payment for
an illuminated pedigree Of one Of the
sultan's race horses. which he had been
commissioned to paint The Australian
courts informed the unfortunate artist
that they could 90 nothing for him,
since a foreign ruler. even when on Brit
ish soil could not be sued in any British
courts. and added that they could sug-
gest no legal course by means OF which

Echo of "Belated BaltimOrean."

To the Editor Of The Washington Times;
The letter in your columns recently signed
Related Baltimorean," which strongly criti-
cised the action of the Metropolitan Railway
Company in not causing its last regular car to
wait for the midnight express at the Baltimore
and Ohio station, was most timely and was
read with great interest by hundreds Of your
subscribers who have been caused unnecessary
annoyance and delay by the contemplate con
dnct Of the company or its conductor
have myself been 50 often left by this car,
although the Passengers were still streaming
ont Of the station, that can vouch for the
truth Of the statements Of 'Belated Baltimo-
rean"
To my personal knowledge and discomfort
l know that for the last three Sunday nights
and on Wednesday night Of this week the
conductor of the last regular car on the F
Street line deliberately left a number Of pas
sengers in the lurch by refusing to wait even
minute for those who were in the rear cars Of
the express, and were thus unable TO reach the
street the moment the train arrived. a sergeant
and policeman standing on the corner Wednes-
day night said that they had heard hundreds
Of complaints about the actions Of the con
ductor, but that the COMPLAINT had never pro-
duccd results in the way of improved service
One policeman said that the unnecessary
haste. Of the conductor was supposed to be due
70 a desire on his part to reach home two or
three minutes earlier, and if that IS the case
the public has right to demand that the com

to fifteen minutes in order that he may save

ManhOles in Georgetown

To the Editor Of The Washington Times;
Noticing the space you have set aside in your
valued paper for letters from subscribers,
write to call your attention 10 a crying need in
Georgetown.
As a rule the covers Of manhOles and pipes
where gas and water connections ere located
are built flush with the pavement. This IS not
the case in Georgetown Iron plates which
cover these pipes are often two or three inches
above the pavement When you consider that
rnanholes and other pipes are often permitted 70
occupy the middle Of the pavement. IL is
clear how they spoil the appearance Of our
sidewalks.
But, not only this. These are no longer sewer
ing along Georgetown streets Of evening IS
often attended with danger, for it is remarkably
easy 20 trip over these iron plates and get a
nasty fall Il should not take couple Of
men more than a week or SO to lower all these
pipes This is a small thing, but it has
caused many a Georgetown citizen a deal Of
annoyance
The District government declares that prop
erty owners must attend 10 these traps. yet
the District government owns and controls all
the pipes besides everything in connection with
the water supply. There seems 10 be no effort
made 10 have property owners fx these water
boxes.
This IS a public nuisance, Mr.. Editor, and
there should be a remedy. Let It be applied
in the name Of the public welfare.

Gained in Strength.

With a badly scattered remnant of the
Republican party in Colorado in 1896
WolcOtt remained firm. and last year
saw the State elect a Republican gov
ernor and two out OF three Republican
Congressmep. AS the party regained its
strength. however it refused TO recog-
nize Wolcott. and the fight between the
Wolcott and the anti Wolcott factions
threatened the bright prospects which
the party had in the State.
Last winter Wolcott sought TO turn a
Republican minority in the Legislature
into a Republican majority by ousting
legally elected Democrats, and thereby
to prevent the return OF the Hon. Henry
NJ Teller TO the Senate His failure 70
carry out the scheme, which was as des-
picable as ii proved to be unsuccessful,
doubtless injured Wolcott. but il now
appears that he has succeeded in estab-
fishing himself as the Republican boss
OF the State and plans a complete reor-
ganiZatiOn OF the party in Colorado fo-
the campaign next year
The fact that Wolcott has again gain
ed the leadership may help the Demo-
Gratis to again carry the State, as there
is much opposition to him within his
own party.
