The Pope Again.

The impressive ceremonies IN ST.
Peters yesterday marked an event tnat
the Church has seen but twice before, the
twenty-fifth anniversary Of Pope
coronation. For that wonderful old
man, LEO XIII, this year 1903 means a
succession OF jubilee celebrations;
he has been sixty years Bishop, nearly
fifty years a Cardinal, and now twenty
five years Pope.
Should he live till May 10, as there ID
every reason to hope he may, he will have
attained to the traditional years OF
PETER and the legend that those years
could not be surpassed will receive q
second blow. 1t is improbable, and
would seem almost miraculous, that he
should equal the long pontifcate OF
Plus TX, for LEO XIII. has just COM
pleted his ninety-third year, and in six
years and half would be nearly 100
years old.
1t is no dying Pope that addressed
the Cardinals on Monday and withstood
the fatigue OF yesterdays ceremonies.
May the day of the conclave be far
distant!

Two Matches.

The owner Of McChesney challenges
the owner OF Hermis for match be-
tween these cracks of the East and West
respectively, to be run next summer. At
the same time the owner of Major
Delmar challenges the owner of Lord
Derby, who happens likewise TO be the
owner of McChesney, 10 a match to be
trotted next summer. Each contest
would be the best Of its kind. May both
eventuate.
With McChesney on the running turf
and Lord Derby on the trotting track,
Mr.. SMATHERs has one foot on the high
est pinnacle of each kind Of sport. We
incline to think, however, that, given all
four horses well and fit, the odds would
be against Mr.. SMATHERs, both under
saddle and in harness.
Hermis and Major Delmar for us,
though 30 near alike are the chances on
either side that we have entire respect for
opinion that prefers their rivals.

The Big Seven Thousand.

The Big Tree grove Of Calaveras is
in imminent danger. Lumbermen have
bought the land, they are preparing to
build railroad to carry off the lumber.
and unless the State steps in the giant
trees, the only specimens Of their kind
on the globe, will soon disappear as COM
pletely as the mammoths they looked
down upon in their youth.
There are only seven thousand OF
the Sequoia 0isdnted left, all in the
Calaveras region. They are among the
great wonders OF the world, like Niagara,
attracting foreigners to America and
Americans to California to see what can
be seen nowhere else but their thousand
year-old grandeur cannot save them from
the greed for money.
Congress has so far failed to act. The
Senate, it is true, passed bill for the
acquisition Of the Calaveras trees. but
it was held up in the House. President
ROOSEVELT has now been entreated by
those who have been trying TO save these
relics Of prehistoric vegetation to use
his influence. The only immediate help
possible lies in Speaker HENDERsoN's
reversing his policy Of obstruction and
permitting the pending bill to be put to
a vote.
Otherwise the trees are doomed unless
the expression OF public condemnation is
80 strong as to lead the woodman to stay
his hand till the new Congress can act.

CLANS Ia fine Fish sells twick, but

Bay shippers solemnly declare. just now
the number OF amateur clammers is In

During the past few days the tides were
surprisingly high and low, specially low.

for it's weakfishing in the summer months,

The Coming American Race.

The very remarkable change which
has taken place during recent years IN
the national sources from which immlgra-
ton to this country is drawn Is made the
subject of an interesting discussion by Mr.
GUsrAyE MICHAUD, in the last number
of the Century Magazine, with reference
TO its probable effect or effects on the
coming race in America.
Already, as was demonstrated by the
census of 1900. over one-half Of the white
population Of the United States consisted
Of immigrants who came here after 1895
ands their descendants. From 1885 to
1890. about seven-eighths Of this immi-
grafton was Of the Baltic race, as MIR.
MrcHAuD defines 1t, generally, or the
Teutonic, as it is called by Prof. RIPLEY
of Harvard-the race Of the British IL
lands, Of the Scandinavian peninsula
and of the northern plain Of Germany
Between 1890 and 1900, however, only
a little over. one-half OF the immigration
was of this race. 80 per cent. OF the re-
mainder being made up Of the Alpine
race, az described by Mr.. MIcHAUD, or
the race gathered about the mountain
ranges OF central and southern Europe,
and is per cent. Of the Mediterranean
race, Of Southern Europe. In the two
fiscal years 1901 and 1902 the Baltic
fell to IS per cent. and the Alpine
rose to ~ and the Mediterranean to %,
and since the present year came in the
percentages Of these two last races have
been increasing. The chief sources Of
immigration are now Austria-Hungary,
Italy and Russia, that from Germany
and Ireland falling far behind; and the
character of the population Of New York,
more especially, is changing very radi-
cally because Of it. New York is already
a distinctively foreign community, and
the Manhattan borough containing the
smallest percentage Of native whites OF
native parentage Of any great community
in the Union, thus:

OF seeing passengers riding on front plat
forms, and admitted that the population
had got ahead OF the oompanys facilities.
Coroner Heilman in his charge said that
the North Jersey Street Railway Company
seemed to be lax. II the jury found that
there had been gross neglect on the part Of
the company In failing to find sufficient
cars help, sand or salt, q verdict against
the company should be found. He laid
stress on the duty Of the jury to find how
far the city authorities were responsible

road safety gates at Clifton avenue were
not constructed according to the ordinance.
that the speed ordinance was being CON
tinuAlly violated, that no effort had been
made to prevent the overcrowding OF cars
except to get a promise from North
Jersey official to stop II; that no ordinance
had ever been passed 10 keep front platforms
clear, and that the city authorities had done
nothing to safeguard the dangerous cross
ing, even during school opening and closing
hours, when 500 children cross the tracks.
Apparently the Coroner felt that the Lacka.
wanna railroad was the least to blame OF
the three, and that the traction company
and the ofSccrs OF the Board Of Works were,
in a measure, responsible.
The Jury adjourned at 6:lS, to meet this
afternoon, when 1t hopes to complete its

Hone,ulu Jury Decides That HIS syStem
Was Q Failure There.

HONOLULU, Hawaii. Feb. ia jury In
tho Circuit Court found this morning that
Marconl was not entitled to pay for the
installation Of his wireless telegraph system
In Hawaii, and that the system here was an
Improvement upon the one he had attempted
to establish.
The case was that Of Marconi's Wireless
Telegraph Company against F. J. Gross.
wherein Marconi sued for - 800. half Of the
purchase price OF the patent, and for % 500.
one years royalty upon the use OF mis-
system. Cross. who Ii citizen Of NewYork,
alleged that the system installed by Mar
conf three years ago was farce. that 1t
did not work and that the one now In use
here was an improvement upon the Marcom
system and was installed by himself. He
testified that Marconi had agreed to place
the system In perfect operation for Sii 900.
that after the contract had been made
the experts who came out here to start tho
work became frightened by the plague
and returned home, leaving the system
useless. Then new experts were sent here
from South Africa by Msrooni. who dis
covered that the failure was due to the
placing OF the poles In dry earth instead Of
near the seashore A complete change OF
the system was tnen maQe, anu Inc "a Pcf 70
instructed a class of Hawaiian girls as
operators. Then the coherers gave out
and the line failed again, and Cross asserted
that Marconi had not kept his contract
by furnishing a duplicate set Of instru-
ments. Again the system had to be aban-
doned. and finally Cross gave up Marconis
idea, and went on on his own hook. He
secured a duplicate set OF telegraph keys,
manufactured new kind Of coherers. which
he says did the work much better than those
OF the Italian inventor, and also made new
condensers. With the improvements made
by himself. the system was q success. and
has been working now satisfactorily for
over ix months.
The jury was out only two hours In dedd-
ing that Marconis system was . failure
and that the contract had not been carried
out verdict for the defendant was re.
turned. An appeal Was taken on behalf
Of Marconi by his attorneys and II necessary
the case will be carried TO the United States
Supreme Court. a. the inventor believes
the stability Of his patent rights is involved.
The suit was brought by Marooni's Wireless
Telegraph and Signal Company, the English
corporation which has control OF all the
patents. The finding Of the jury relieves
the local company from any payment OF
royalties, which were 10 be at the rate OF
e 500 annually.
