THERE Is an evident ripple in dlplo-
matte circles. Germany has protested
TO Russia against the seizure of mail by
a volunteer feet steamer in the ked sea
and Great Britain is carefully consider
ing the action of the Russian war steam
ers st. Petersburg and Smolensk in
leaving the Black Sea in direct violation
of the conditions of the treaty of Paris.
The first incident may be closed upon
Russia making a satisfactory explana-
ton to Germany; the deliberate act,
however, of the former in sending war
ships through the Dardanelles may be
more difficult of erasure, as it shows
plainly that Russia is about to defy all
nations that were parties to the treaty OF
Paris and that she has no idea of bot
Ting up her war ships in the Black sea
any longer. In the eyes of most Euro
pean countries, especially England, tins
is a grave offense, as it is regarded as a
menace to the perpetuity of the Otto
man Empire, as well as. to the peace OF
Europe. The dispatch of an English
feet to Suez and other points adds Sc
robustness to the present condition oil
affairs.

bitter. The paper praises in enthusiastic

TUESDAY EVENING. JULY 10. 1904

TuP NEWSPAPERS are calling atten-
t;on TO the fact that Theodore Roosevelt
has heretofore proven to be the weakest
man the republicans have ever put for
ward. and that his career has been the
result of accident entirely, as personally
he is a man devoid Of magnetism, def
cient in everything that should enter
into a great man and calculated to make
enemies continually. As a contemporary
we'll says, the starting-point OF RooSe-
yelts career as President was his election
as Governor in 1898. If it had not been
for that event he would not have been
thought of for Vice President and had 1t
not been for an acknowledged blunder
on the part of Richard Croker there is
every reason to believe that ne would
have been defeated. Croker, it will be
remembered, refused a denomination TO
Judge DAILY on the ground that the
Judge chad not given Tammany proper
consideration. Incensed by this edict
of the Tammany leader, the most emil
nent democratic lawyers in New York
organized and vigorously conducted a
campaicn for a free and independent
judiciary. Hundreds Of independent
voters. weary of the domination of Croker,
voted the whole republican ticket. And
vet with all this adventitious aid Mr.
Roosevet's plurality was so small that a
change of fewer than 5000 votes would
have defeated him. 1t is a significant
fact that in 1894 Morton for Governor
received 156, COS plurality; in 1896 Nc
Kinley, for President received 26S, Jos;
in 1898 Roosevelt fer Governor received
1876; in 1900 Odell for Governor re-
ceiyed III, 1926. The average re-
publican plurality in these five elections
was nearly 100, 900. Mr.. Roosevelts
plurality was less than $4,000, though
he ran in the year of the Spanish war,
with the story of his exploits" in Cuba
fresh in the public mind. The people,
however, did not like his temperament
nor trust his discretion in an executive
Office. The-voters in New York in par
ticular had not forgotten his crusade as
Police Commissioner against the personal
rights and liberty of citizens. No favor
able condition of affairs exists at present
to help Mr.. Roosevelt. Judge Parker
is himself splendid representative OF an
upright, able and Independent Judiciary.
The democrats are united upon him.
The independent voters respect and trust
him, and it is confidently believed that
he will carry New York against the can
didate who has always proved to be weak
with the voters whenever the test has
been made in an election.

Confederate Claims.

The War Department is paying old
Confederate claims at rapid rate. Re-
Gently Congress appropriated 1925, 900
for the reimbursement of Confederate
soldiers who had lost their horses or
side arms on their way home after Lees
surrender. The terms offered by General
Grant included the protection of the Con-
federate soldiers against the loss of their
animals or pistols ON their way back to
their homes. Some of the command in
Tennessee and Georgia encountered
northern troops who deprived them OF
their horses and arms. That was in 1866,
since which time there has been an an
nual effort made to have the money value
of the property restored to Lees men,
The quartermaster generals office has
now paid out $l51, $3.50 on account OF
these claims, and there is likely to be
further appropriation made next session
to continue the discharge of the obliga-
ton. 1t is surprising to the authorities
that so many OF the claimants survive
and that so few are represented by heirs.

FOR SALE.-The famous LEE COAL at
the lowest market prices. o,,oo,, 40
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-04

l the work of conStrucfiSn Of the great ship canal. which opens there. Hotels and private establishments line the African bank of the ship canal for some distance, and great rows of trop- ical trees on both sides of the fresh water canal, which Is about ten feet ! wide, give evidence of the reviving cheer of good water. The great oil tanks which supply the material by which the canal is lighted are the most conspicuous objects of interest as the town comes into sight from the Red sea.
 Port Said at the northern end of the canal, is an altogether different place. It more resembles one of our quick western towns in the activity of its business and in general s'wickedness. It is one of the greatest coal markets in the world, for ships from the east like to come through the canals light and fill their bunkers as they start out into the Mediterranean. The government derives a good share of it's revenues from the coal taxes, which are quite large on the coal that is locally con- stunned. and, although very small on that which is sold to the great steam CTS, such is the volume of this traffic that it amounts to considerable. Port Said is one of the most cosmopolitan places in the world. The moneys of all nations circulate freely there. The languages not only of all Europe, but of the races of Asia and north Africa, are understood. The long breakWater which extends into the Mediterranean from Port Said is surmounted at its extreme point by a magnificent statue of De Lesseps. Few memorials have been placed where they would be be held by so large representation of all the tribes and tongues of the globe.
 Each of the aggressive powers of Europe maintains a. steamship line to the east for political quite as much as for commercial purposes. While these lines have different names, they are popularly known by the people along the way by the nation which they represent-the English line, the French line, the German line, the Aus trian, the Russian and the Italian. The Japanese, from the east, also maintain a line which does a goodly share of passenger business The old substan- tial system is the Peninsular and Ori- ental, which is one of the great insti- tutions of England.

Holyoke Goes Down Before Hartford's Twi r1er
 Springfield Lost in the Twelfth-Other Games.

Holyoke, Aug. 4.-Foxen, who pitch es two games in an afternoon without wearying, made yesterdays task seem simple. He was batted with success by Batch only. Heine got three hits off curly M4llle and one of them was q lift over right field fence that sent in the lone run. The other members of the champs divided three hits.
 Hartford got a man to first in the opening attempt. When Gastmyer and Doran had been turned away after in- field chances, Ferguson hit to Batch Heine's bound throw to first gave the runner a chance to land safely. Henry struck out. A hit by Batch after two out netted nothing for the champs, Slater flying out to Henry.
 Bunyan hit against the second base in the third, the ball bounding safely away. Foxen sacrificed, Slater fielding his bunt to Fitzpatrick at first. Gast- myer foul-died to Batch. Doran hit to Slater and Hodges muffed the throw to first while trying to get balanced. His slowness i'll getting to the base put him in position to easily drop the leather. Bunyan scored. Ferguson's line fly went to Fitzpatrick,
 Batch's home run in the fourth over the fence in right field evened up on the score. but Hartford got away in the fifth. when Quigley beat out Il bounder to Fitzpatrick and scored on Foxen's two-base jab. Holyoke lost a chance in the sixth. After Fitzpatrick had flied out to Henry, Batch singled. Slater hit safely. While Batch was or second Doran. made beautiful throw to Daly and Batch was forced to try for third. He went into the base erect and ouigley put the ball on him. A slide might have brought about other conditions. McAndrews flied out to O'Hare.
 A dropped throw ball by Mean drevs. with three singles and Ross mans failure to field the ball after making one-hand scoop of a hit, put Hartford in possession of two runs m the seventh.
 The champs ninth was brief. Slater foul-died to the catcher and Mean drews struck out. Schincel flied out 10 O'Hare. Score.

At Springfield.

Springfield, Aug. 4, Seven hits Springfield scattered through 12 in- nings yesterday in the game with Mer- lden and this resulted in two runs
 The visitors on the other hand had an even dozen and three of them com ing in the fifth inning gave the Silver City boys to victory.
 There was just one inning, featurel in the game, and that was the ninth. It was Dan O'Neills headwork which tied the score for the Ponies in this inning. With the score l to 0 against the Ponies, Jack Hess was sent in to bat for Bill Luby in the ninth. Me. Crane tried to fool Jack with high balls, but Jack is sober young man and refused to be tempted. Four of these were served and Jack ignored them, taking his base.
 Here was when Dams second foxy trick came in, When it comes to run ming Hess is related to an ice wagon and so Goldie Bowler replaced Hess on first. There was a big kick on this and Manager Kennedy objected yigor- ously. It did no good, however, for Bowler was not substituted as a run. ner, but was put into the game at this point as a pitcher, Hess leaving the game.
 Bowler by fine sprintlng reached second on Joe Connors out, stole third and scored on Tansey's single into right. With the score thus tied the fans expected great things, but their expectations were not realized.

Travelling Man Says It Will RcacI,

.5,0O0,0OO ESs-8---.
 Asa NJ. Egbert, q travelling salesman, carle to Kansas City recently from q trip through Kansas and Oklahoma, says the Kansas City Star, According to his estimates, the loss of tho wheat crop in Kansas will be fully 20 per cent, but nevertheless T5,0O0.o00 bush els will be marketed. The individual loss in some localities, particularly be- tween Kansas City and Topeka, is al most total, and in this district the floods have changed the surface Of many farms. Mir Egbert said:
 ''The loss in Kansas in number of bushels is not going to greatly em- barrass the farmers of this state, be- cause wheat is bringing 80 cents a bushel free on board. Last year at this time it only brought 90 cents. Kansas is raising this year one of the best corn crops it has ever raised. The rains that kept farmers from the wheatfields have brought out the corn and the crop is good, Taking all these things together, Kansas is going to be better off when all her crops are mar keted than 1t was expected,
 Mir. Egbert said the wheat in Okla homa did not make more than a half crop, but that the shortage is being made up in cotton, castor beans and corn crop that Is a "corker,"

Forgot All About AIodesty When
 Screams For Help Aroae.
 James D. Patton. Jr., eiefen years old, son of wealthy man in Rich mond, Va, was the hero recently Of thrilling rescue of the eight-year-old daughter of Mrs. John H. Simcnds of Charleston, s. O., says Richmond special dispatch.
 Young Patton had just finished talk ing swim in the pool some distance from the hotel. He had removed his bathing suit when the screams of a woman were heard. Peeping out of his dressing room he saw nurse shriek- ing for help, and the Simonds child was in ten feet of water crying for help,
 There was no time for modesty. With the boy 1t was a case of hiding his blushes. Out of the room he darted, making long and graceful dive in the direction of the girl. Patton is good swimmer and has cool head. He seized the child and, summoning all his strength and skill, fought his way with her to the edge of the pool He told the women near by to take the girl and then to get away and give him a chance to get his clothes Now he is the hero of the day and is kissed by the women more than all the other boys in Richmond.
