diate effects of socialist labor legis- lation in the mother state and Victor ia. The people who are leaving Aus tralfa are no mere birds of passage
 They are mostly a class who have been born or long settled in Australia, many being steady, competent trades men; not few belonging to the ranks of master craftsmen, others being pas toraHsts, farmers, station hands---in fact, the very men of which the Com rnonwealth stands in most need. Scarcely any are trades-unionists. The nonunionists, under the new order of things. has no place In Australia. The New South Wales industrial ar bitration court and the Victorian wages boards refuses to recognize his existence. He must either join a trade union or get out.

 We do not believe that there will he any very strenuous competition with Chief Egan Of Waterbury in his desire to employ the state police in quelling riots.

 Will Roosevelt Break the Rule.- Four vice presidents before President Roosevelt gained the presidential office through the deaths of presidonts-Ty- Ter, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur but each failed to obtain a presidential nomination. President Roosevelt will be the exception to secure a nomina- tion through his shrewd manipulation of the party machinery, but is there not considerable truth in the remark of distinguished republican from a beet-sugar producing state at recent meeting of the national committee that ''everybody is for him and nobody wants him. .''-Boston Globe

THE CABS OF PARIS.
Etfseen Thousand of Them Ply the Streets Day and Night-A Coll
 lege for Coachmen.

By day and night IS ,O0O cabs ply in the streets of Paris. A few hundred of them, blue, drawn by young. mercuriaI horses, driven by liveried coachman, bearing neither numbers nor placques, make snobbish pretense to being private car- riages. Of the others the greater part be- long to the three great companies-the Compagnie Generale, with it's blue- bel- lied cabs: the Urbaine, with cabs deco rated with yellow lozenges; the Abeille, with its cabs stained a dull green. In ad- dition. writes Vance Thompson in Out Ing, there are scores of small stables, where three or four cabs are sent out. Many cabmen. too, own their own rigs. On the whole, however, the Three Com panies" are masters of the trade.
 Is it trade? Upon my word, think 1t is profession and one of the ancient and honorable. The casual rogue has no chance of making himself free of the guild. He must, in the first place, be a college graduate" duly provided with 8 diploma. The most notable coachman's s college is Tn the Rue Marcadet, yoider on the flank of Montmartre.
 Officially the college is known as the "Ecole d'apprentissage des cochers de aacre de la vile de Paris" The director Is Pernette, a capable, horsey man, fa- nous whip. A half dozen professors aid him-vets, hostlers, grooms.

AGED QUEEN IS IN EXILE.
ing on Her Austrian Estate--Re- sembles the Late Victoria.

When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1887 the Salic law, which pre- vails in German principalities, made 1t impossible that she should be sovereign of Hanover as we'll as ruler of England, as her Guelph predecessors had been. The throne of Hanover, therefore, fell to her next of kin in the male line. the duke of Cumberland, who was succeeded by his son, the queens cousin. That king of Hanover was the last. Tn the war between Prussia and Austria in 1860, which was practically war for precedence in the German speaking lands, the king of Hanover took the wrong side; that is to say, he took the side of Austria, and Prussia was victo- rious. The result was that he found himself crownless and an exile and Han over became part of the north German confederation. The exiled king died in 1878, but his queen still lives; she Is S6 years of age. A portrait of her was taken rencently on her Austrian estate at Gmunden. It is interesting to observe the striking likeness of the lower part of the face of the electress to Queen vfo toria

SATURDAY. JANUARY 9. 1904.

The democrats in the house of rep resentatives tried mighty hard this week to get the republicans to agree to an Investigation of the postohace scandals, but they failed. The repub- licans refuse to be investigated. They killed resolution for the purpose of calling an investigation of the Bristow charges by referring tito a committee by slim vote of 107 to Ill. After if Is referred to the committee 1t will con. tinue to sleep in the pigeon-hole of the desk of the chairman of the commit. tee. That should show the people of the country where the sincerity of the republican party lies in this matter. They know full well that if the inves- tgation is ever pulled off it will put more kinds of big republicans fin a hole and soap the sides and pull up the ladder, than any man now dreams of. That is why they will smother the thing in its inception. The people may draw their own conclusions.

va@rants fin Paris.

A recent arrest of an aged vagrant led to some interesting revelations in regard to an association of beggars which has its headquarters in the Sor- bonne district of Paris. The members are fairly numerous and the leading spirit is man of education who has been reduced to heggary by drink and gambling. Every morning a meeting Is held and the operations of the day planned out Some members are sent to beg in the rich quarter of the Champs Elysees, others to the Plaine Monceau. while still others are sent on special missions to wealthy people, taking with them begging letters. Tn the evening all meet again and the spells are equally divided, the usual daily share of each member being from five to six dollars.

Perhaps the most serious disturbing factor was the strong probability of war, says Banker Clews in his weekly letter. While it is evident that the re- sources of diplomacy have not at this writing been entirely exhausted, the situation is nevertheless so acute that slight provocation on either side would precipitate open hostilities. Japan may easily be tempted into firing the first gun, knowing that she can strike more effectively now than by allowing time for her opponent to more effective ly prepare for war. Delay Is gain for Russia and corresponding loss for Japan, hence the aggressiveness of the latter and the risk of early hostilities. A great deal of anxiety is shown re- garding the consequences of struggle between these two nations. Will other nations be involved? Of course no one can predict such results. The possibil- ities are tremendous, but the proba bili- ties are fortunately very much less,
 the very immensity of the former act ing as a safeguard against the worst.
 Perhaps the pivotal point In the con flict will be the attitude of France, Should her sympathy with Russia carry her into active operations, then Great Britain, by treaty with Japan, would be obliged to actively support the lat ter. 1t is exceedingly improbable, however, that France will allow her self to be drawn into such antagonism towards Great Britain, and the chances are that Russia and, Japan will fight it out alone, with the United States,
 Great Britain, France and Germany all highly interested spectators. ~

PANAMA AND THH MOSQUITOES
Great Importance of Speedy Action
 Toward Sanitation.


 Toward Sanitation.
 Now that it is practically decided that canal to divide the continents of North and South America, will be built, it may not be out of place to con- slider the probable effects of this under taking from sanitary point of view Tn the first instance, it would seem cer- tain that the building of an isthmian canal will be attended by great loss of life. unless measures are enforced to Tenoer the conditions in the regions through which the waterway must pass less inimical to health than is the case at present. The district bordering on the proposed Panama route is. per haps, one of the most notoriously Us healthy in the world This fact was conclusively proved by the mortality and sickness among the laborers on the portion of the Panama canal built by the Lesseps company. White men were unable to live for any length of time in the locality, and the mortality among the Chinese, and to a lesser eX- tent among the negroes, was frightful.
 Sir Patrick Manson, in paper read before the Archaeological society of Great Britain, February 25, of last year. foreshadowed the possible dan ger of invasion by yellow fever of Asia as the consequence of the digging or the Panama canal. He pointed out that shiploads of laborers would soon be plying between Panama and the seaports of Asia, and that unless ex- traordinary precautions were taken the inevitable result must be that the nalady would be conveyed and spread among the seething multitudes of the far east. In the Journal of Tropical Medicine. August I5 1903, Dr St George Gray, Sierra Leone, returns to this subject and discusses the sanitary measures necessary to prevent the in- troduction of yellow fever into Asia from Panama. He is of the opinion that these may be divided into (a) measures to be adopted at-the point of departure, i.Ae., at the Central Ameri- can port. and (b) measures to be adopt ed at the port of arrival-the Asiatic port.
 The writer takes 1t as absolutely proven that mosquitoes are the sole cause of yellow fever, and suggests that an international sanitary board should be appointed by the govern- ments having interests in the far east, and that they should be especially qualified for the work. They should have powers to frame such quarantine or other regulations as may be deemed necessary and to enforce these regula- tons by means of penalties which should be sufficiently heavy to insure their being carried out by the most careless and indifferent of captains. The sanitary board should make sure that no vessels which have not been thoroughly cleared of mosquitoes leave the isthmus for any Asiatic port. The nIa ar cl take place at an anchorage to be se- lected for the purpose at least 300 yards away from the nearest shore, and once the funnigation is completed the vessel should not approach the shore again, but passengers, malls and cargo from open lighters could be re- ceived aboard Medical Record.

Republican newspapers are not boast ing about the fact that bituminous coal will 90 back to the dutiable list on January 15, says our Washington cor respondent. They don't want the tariff question agitated. Neither do the trusts. For the ten months ending last October, during the whole of which period the suspension of the duty was operative. the exports of coal from the United States were 5,2S4,94 tons, com pared with 4,526.967 for the same DOT ton of 1902, and with 4,634, SPA tons in 1901. That is, the exports increased over 75O,OOO tons in 1903, when the duty was suspended. The impotsr of coal into the United States in the first ten months of 1903 were g., ss7.631 tons, compared with 1,760,S01 ill the first ten months of 1902, and 1,671 ,e4s tons in the corresponding period of 1901. All parts of the country have received ben eft from free coal, but the Pacific coast has probably been most benefited. The opportunity to bring inward cargoes of coal instead of sailing in ballast has made it possible for the merchant ves- sels docking at Pacific ports to cut grain freights 8 and 10 cents per bushel as compared with the rates for 1ou1. Tn that way the coming of ships which free coal has invited has, 1t is calcu- lated. added $2,0o0.O0o to the profits of the farmers of the Pacific northwest, and probably as much to the profits of the lumber men. The greatest good to the greatest number requires that coal remain on the free list; the wei fare of the coal trust requires that the duty of CT cents per ton be replaced. This is a trust congress and the duty goes back on.

son and heir 70 the Russiau throne
was born, Friday afternoon. The en-
press and the child are doing well The
child will be chrstened Alexis Nikolae-
witch, and If he reigns he will prot
ably assume the title Of Alexis /
The birth 30 greatly wished for occur
ed not ia the great palace at PeterhOf,
but in the Alexandra villa, one OF a
group of four palaces in a secluded cor
ner Of the magnificent Peterhof Park.
In one of these buildings the empress
had been living for weeks. The other
three are occupied by members of tue
imperial family gathered there in ex-
pectation of the event, including the
dowager empress, his majesty's two sis
tiers, the Grand Duchess Nenia and Olga
his brother, Grand Duke Michael, and
much more private spot than the Grand
Palace.
The birth of the heir to the throne
was attended with all the ceremony or
dained by imperial tradition. The
christening of the heir will occur in a
fortnight. 1t will be ceremony of the
most elaborate sort.
The importance of the birth of an
heir to the throne of Russia cannot be
exaggerated, coming as it does at time
when the Russian people are depressed
by the reverses which the arms of Rus
STA have sustained in the Far East Not
only will the coming of a son to the en-
peror and empress bring JOY to Russia in
general, because 1t marks the advent of
new era for Russia, but it will put an
end to the intrigues, more or less open,
which have been features of the recent
reign since the birth of the first daugh-
ter to their majesties. Up to today the
Grand Duke Michael, only brother Of
the emperor, was the heir presumptive
A powerful, healthy, ambitious man,
born in 1873, Grand Duke Michael
is much beloved by the people, and in
recent years has been looked upon as
the probable successor of Nicholas Ill.
The birth of an heir to Russia's throne
also disposes of the ambitions of the
family of the Grand Duke vladimir, old
est uncle of the emperor and father of
Grand Dukes Cyril, Boris and Andre,
and of the Grand Duchess Helena, wife
of Prince Nicholas of Greece.
The announcement from Peterhof
was Immediately followed by salute of
10l guns from the imperial yacht, lying
at anchor off the palace. but it was -
p. NJ when the guns of the st. Peter and
st. Paul fortress, opposite the winter
palace here, conveyed the glad tidings
TO the people of the Russian capital
The effect WAS electrical. In the mean
time the announcement had been tele
graphed to the most remote corners Of
the empire In all the towns and cities
the glad tidings were spread with the
clangOr of bells and the booming of can
non. Thanksgiving services followed in
all the churches.
The hearts Of the Russian people are
likely to be more deeply touched by the
good fortune Of the imperial family
than by dozen victories or defeats in
the Far East and the supersttious Rus
sian character will read in it an augury
of better times There is already re-
yival of the talk that with the succession
to the throne assured the emperor will
