FOG IN HARBoR.
River Traffic Almost Entirely Sus
 pended in New York.

New York, March S.-Dense fog caused the almost entire suspension of harbor and river traffic today, and for many hours effectually blockaded the port against incoming steamers and coasting craft The American liner Philadelphia. anchored outside Sandy Hook early in the morning and vGs unable to reach her pier until late in the afternoon, when the fog had lifted considerably.
 Three collisions occurred during the day, but without loss of life. The big car transfer steamer Express of the New York, New Haven and Hartford line, was in collision today. While groping her way down East river she ran into and sank the canal boat Lyman Willie, tied up at a bulkhead. The wife of the captain of the canal boat, the only person on board, escaped to the dock.
 While backing out after the collision the Express crashed into the steamer Rhode Island of the Stonington line, on her way to New York, cutting off her stem completely about two feet above the water line and splntering the wood work below the water line. The Rhode Island immediately came to anchor. The Bristol steamer Woodford, from South America and Caribbean ports, while com ing to anchor was struck by a barge in tow of tug and had an anchor driven through her bow plates.

Judge Parker and MT. Hill.

Just now the attitude of MT. Hill towards Judge Parker is becoming a matter of national interest. This is due in good part to the fact that Mir Hill is in control of the state demo- cratic machine. The state executive committee Is made up of his hench- men, and as things stand he can dictate, or come very near dictating, the choice of New York for the demo- cratic presidential nomination.
 His attitude towards Judge Parker therefore becomes interesting, and at this writing he is said to speak dis respectfully of the candidacy of the judge. This together with the fact that Chairman Taggart of Indiana is organizing a Hill machine in that state, and that Chairman Campbell says he favors MT. Hill if he is a can didate, lends credence to the report that Mir. Hill is himself candidate.
 There will however be a struggle in New York. The Hill boomers will not be permitted to select the state delegates to the democratic national convention without opposition. Judge Parker is popular and respected, and he will have many supporters through out the state, and unless machine methods are adopted the delegation will be divided, and this may render the nomination of either Hill or Par ker impossible and undesirable.
 But the party is not by any means confined to -ew York men. Senator German would run well in New York. He would be warmly supported by Tammany, and if there should arise a bitter quarrel between the partizans of Hill and Parker, Senator German may be the strongcat man that could be put before the voters of New York state. Ex-Secretary Olney, too, has friends in New York, but MT Olney cannot carry his own state, whereas MT. German can carry Maryland when ever he needs it.

Uncle Sam's Bid Navy.

Tonnage is what counts in modern naval warfare-that is to say, the size of ships and the weight and power of guns, and in tonnage we are outranked by Great Britain and France only, as this table prepared by the bureau of naval intelligence of the navy depart ment shows: Great Britain, 624 yes sels, with 1907 STA tons; France, 453 vessels, with S04,274 tons; United States, 153 vessels, 5S4,743 tons; Ger many, 225 vessels, with 4S3,42S tons; Russia PTS vessels, with 509,56S tons; Italy, 215 vessels, with 341, ,155 tons; Japan, 164, vessels, with 24S,00S tons; Austria, 105 vessels, with 14S,0S5 tons.
 No vessels launched before 1878 are included in this table unless they have been reconstructed and rearmed. Old timers are of little value when met in hostiities by modern ships, and they need not be counted. The navy of the United States is practically new and modern, and ship for ship it is not ap- preached by any navy unless it be those of Germany and Japan, both pew navies. The navies of France and

Record of a Great Reiun.

This week Leo XIII will pass into the ninety-fourth year of his age, as he had already passed into the twenty sixth year of his pontifcate. Only one pope has held sway longer, Plus TX, whose reign lasted thirty-one years and seven months. St. Peter is cred tied with twenty-five years, but when so remote a reign is discussed a re- sort must necessarily be had to the inauguration. And there have been older men in the papacy than Leo. Gregory TX lived to be 99 years old, and Agathon who died in 682 is cred tied with 107 years.
 But no pope in the long line has surpassed Leo XIII in influence under trying circumstances. He assumed the tripple crown when papal influence was at it's lowest point-when 1t had but eight years before lost all temper al power-when it seemed impossible to restore the glory of the papal sec. Today the papacy is more influential in the worlds affairs than 1t ever had been in it's entire former history. It is stronger in the hearts of vast church tIan it was when a pope forcer a Ger man king to do penance at Conossa. All this is due to the personal charac- ter, worth and intellectual force and vision of the present pontiff. He is one of the worlds great men-perhaps we should say, tho worlds grandest old man. He has by rare tact and wis dom conciiated one ration after an- other, induced Germany to repeal her anti-Catholio laws, and won over dis trustful statesmen and monarchs until today at a ripe old age he stands con fessedly one of the worlds greatest social and intellectual force. He has ever been liberal and progressive, and what ne has accomplished as lib- eral will not be lost. His successor will not be a retrogressionist. All the gains of Leo will be preserved and car ried forward, simply because it is the only line upon which the great church can advance and prosper.

He didn't like to accept the hospitality of his friend the general-so they say he said-too often and always leave for home financially bettered. But General Corbin insisted and finally the appropriations chairman said: "Tll come if you will allow me to bring you present"
 NO, I can't allow that said Corbin
 "But I insist protested Cannon.
 Well, then, I give in," said the gen. eral. despairingly, "only 1t must not be too expensive a present"
