STEAMER CRASHES
INTO A LAUNCH
Grinding 1t to Pieces and Drowning
Eight of the Occupants.
ALL WERE PHILADELPRlANS
The Accident Was the Tragic End

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE Della
ware steamer Columbia, on its way
from this city to Bristol, Pa, Sunday
night, crashed into a steam launch
about ten miles north of here, grinding
it to pieces and drowning eight of the
dozen occupants of the small boat. All
the party were Philadelphians.

The accident was the tragic ending
Of a days pleasure trip on the river
The launch was owned by Joseph For
tescue, and the party had been made
up from among a few of his friends,
The day was spent in a cruise up the
river as far as Trenton. The return
trip was begun after nightfall, the
pilot of the boat keeping close to the
Pennsylvania shore on the run down
the river. When a point was reached
near Andaiusia, the Columbia suddenly
doomed up in the darkness. Fortesque
iammed his wheel to starboard, but
Just a moment too late. The big
steamer struck the launch squarely in
the middle and cut it in half, throwing
ali the occupants into the water.
A terrible shrek went up as the
boats struck, which almost caused a
panic among the passengers on the Co
lumbia. Dozens Of life preservers were
thrown overheard to those in the wa
ter and a boat was quickly lowered.
When the rowboat reached the spot,
only four persons could be found in the
darkness. 1t is believed that several
of the victims were crushed by the
paddle wheels on the Columbia.
The four taken from the water are
Thomas and Mrs. Dunn, John Heston
and George Young.

THE snAR1 JApANEsE.

Japan isn't so busy fighting that she can't attend to other matters. Herr WOas, who has been travelling exten- sively in China and Japan during the last year and half. delivered lecture the other evening in Berlin before the German Colonial Society on Japanese rivalry to German trade in East Asia. He dwelt upon the ubiquitous activity of the Japanese trader and of his agents, not only on the coast of China, but in the towns of the interior and on every river. The fact that a Japanese technical high school had been estab- lished at Nanking was unmistakable evidence. he argued. that the Japanese were bent upon securing a permanent footing in the Chinese markets. He in- sisted particularly upon their progresss in what he called "our Shantung." The new railroad from Tsing-tau to Tsi- nan-fu, which was the work of German enterprise, had indeed, he said, increas- ed the trade of the province, but 1t was the Japanese and not the Germans who had benefited. The Japanese palmed off upon the unsuspecting Chinaman cheap and shoddy wares at prices and by methods with which the German trader could not compete. Moreover. the Japanese employed no middlemen, while the Germans transacted the greater part of their business through agents, with the result that they never really knew the kind of goods which were in demand, He went on to say that in his opinion the war with Russia was not the outcome of a national movement, but was solely the work of the commercial and industrial classes in Japan, who having subjugated Ko- req, desired to add Manchuria to their sphere of influence, as a preliminary step to overrunning the whole of China. It was this instinctive desire for expan- sion on the part of Japan which consti- tuted the peculiar and signal danger for the Germans in the Far East The Chinese. he added, tolerated the Ger mans, but preferred. infinitely. to deal with the Japanese.

STILL HINrnRlO ANp sAeREp

We'll. the waiting-room on the Green must wait. The people have spoken, and when the people speak there isn't much to do but to listen. To be sure, not many of the people have spoken, but they all had a chance. and those who didn't speak can't fairly blame anybody but themselves. The episode has been an interesting one. Out of it the historic old Green comes as green as ever. though just now it is white. The idea is that none of its greenness lis to be taken away or covered over except by snow. It is a good old Green, and we noticed with interest that one of the people who spoke said something about the sawed-off music pagoda that was moved from the center of the Green up in front of Center Church, where 1t has only lately served as a rostrum for rank Socialists. That pa goda has always struck us as a desecra- ton in many ways, and we are glad that attention has been called to it. We hope that "a movement will soon be started for it's removal. If there isn't such movement soon that pago- da will become a fixture, and later on will become historic" When it is that it will be as hard to get it off the Green as it was to get the old State House of. If the agitation for the waiting room has done no more than to can attention to the pagoda it has done something to be thankful for. Let cit izens interested in the sacredness of the Green keep an eye on that pagoda and not let 1t become historic.

THAT CAN BIC DONE.

It doesn't seem quite as easy to make money in Wall street as it did few weeks ago before Lawson and Greene got to describing each other. Now is perhaps as good a time as any to call attention to the fact that money can be lost in Wall street. For instance, a Chicago man sold out small mer- cantile business for about $5,0O0 and began to dabble in stocks. He bought Brooklyn Rapid Transit near the be- ginning of the rise, and made money. He extended his line of speculation and could have quit the game just before the smash with net $15O,OO0. But like most of those who enter upon this kind
 of play, he was only the more stimulat-
 ed to keep on. All that he had was committed to the long side of the market at the beginning of last week, and the slump cleaned him out com pletely. Not even the $5,00O which he had laboriously acquired in his mer- cantile business was left.
 Another instance. There is a young man who hangs around New York
 brokers office hugging this experience: He had $500 which he thought he would get rich on. He went to work, and piled up and piled up until he had sSO,G00 in sight. The broker with whom he had his account earnestly advised him to stop and take what he had. But he felt smart-smarter than the broker.
 So he hung on and tried to get more.
 He finally ended in debt to the broker.
 We have some doubt about citing these stories, because we fear that they may cause some inexperienced persons to think that they could make money as aforesaid, and know enough to stop. That's what many think, But many
 are called to Wall street and most of them are left stranded.

They do farming on a. large scale out West, and some of it is scientific. Tests of seventy wheat, varieties at the Mis- souri Agricultural college the past sea son show some remarkable differences in the yields and indicate the most suitable varieties the soil and climate of the state. Most of the seed was secured from Missouri, Kansas, Indi- ana, Ohio and Michigan, It was plant ed on uniform soil and given uniform treatment throughout the season. The ten varieties showinglthe highest yields in the order named were, Nigger, Mort gage Litter, Lebanon, Economy, Deitz, Valley. Early Ripe.

All these showed a fair weight per measured bushel excepting the last, which fell to fifty-three pounds.
