tormentors grew more and more i'm
Fortunate. and one of them. more ma
levoIent than its fellows, insisted that
he could only atone for his sins of
omission by casting himself into the
sea. After enduring the distressing
mental tortures for several nights, he
decided that if needs must it were bet
ter 10 make this atonement quickly, So
yielding TO an impulsive obsesslon'
plunged into the sea Instead Of sink
ing instantly, he vaguely realized that
he was being carried away on the sur
face Of a huge wave until drawn into
a whirling mass OF waters. where, after
being tossed about until exhausted, he
was thrown upon the refuge already
described.
Completely bewildered and exhausted
by his struggles, he had no sooner de-
cided to rest quietly and wait the turn
Of events than he hazily realized that
his resting place was beginning to
move and that he was being deluged
by icy torrents; then helpless be-
numbing feeling of extreme coldness
overcame him, and he passed into a
state of complete Inconsistencies.
To account for All Loy's marvellous
escape from drowning, and from being
crushed by that enormous paddle
wheel, and also by what mysterious in
voluntary method he gained his ref
uge, a place quite inaccessible while
the paddle wheel was in motion, sew
eral theories have been advanced.
The hypothesis most commonly ac-
cepted by seafaring men is, briefly, as
follows: The China was moving slowly
against a heavy head sea when the
man jumped overheard, and that he
was instantly caught in the swirl of
cross sea, which carried him backward
alongside" the ship until he reached
the wheel, when suddenly meeting an
opposing sea, or back wash resulting
from the sudden arrest of the paddle
wheel. he was thrown up under the
paddle box and landed on the paddle
beam, where he was afterward found.
On the arrival of the China in San
Francisco about three weeks later All
10y, having fully recovered, was per-
mitted to land with his fellow passen-
gers. About two years later, when
chanced to see him, he told me that Of
late all had been well with him; in fact,
as soon as he had earned and sent
enough money to China to give his
mother a burial in keeping with her
station in life. his nights had been
passed in peaceful repose. entirely free
from those terrifying obsessions that
formerly oppressed him.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

A matter of course all addresses delivered at
"A the Mohonk conference international arbitra-
4 tion infused by cheerful and almost a
glowing optimism That fact to large extent weakens
when judged from the standpoint of reason
1t does not, however destroy their value altogether
Some of them made by of such well balanced
minds that optimism could betray them into blind
enthusiasm for any whatever, and as a conse-
quence will be found encouraging those friends
of international peace who least sangune of seeing
realized in any measurable time.
The address of Judge George Gray, for example was
by that of mere dreamer of dreams In the
of his busy life he has had long and varied ex
perience in dealing with large international issues In
addition his service United States Senator from
Delaware, he served member of the Peace Commits
sion in Paris in 1903, member of the Joint High
Commission at Quebec in the same year and in 1000

Restriction Remo7ed.

Attention is called to the fact by the
Washington Post that next month (July
29) the prohibition imposed by The
Hague conference upon the discharge
of aerial torDedoes from balloons or
flying machines will expire by limita-
tion. 1t was with the greatest dfhiculty
that the powers represented at The
Hague conference, through their mill
tary delegates. managed to reach an
agreement upon rules governing war.
and this particular section was bitterly
fought over, although it is one of the
few which the United States Govern
ment accepted without reservation.
At the end of July new field will
thus be open to the inventor of flying
Pachines and dirigible balloons, which
may now enter the field of warfare
without violation of the rules of war.

Il Communication.
SAN FRANCISCO, June Is.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Is.
Editor of The Call-Dear Sir: In
the issue of the 18th in the news of that
date telegraphed from Chicago there
appeared statement that DR.. Frank
w. Gunsaulus in his baccalaureate ad-
dress to the graduating class of the
Armour Institute said: There never
was a more interesting falsehood than
'All men are created free and equal 4"
That is not so wide of the mark, but
he went on to say: THE Declaration
of Independence was the work of an
hour of intense excitement and on
every national anniversary this phrase
is misQuoted because when it is taken
from it's context it is false"
The inference from the doctors ad-
dress is that the phrase, as quoted. is
contained in that immortal document.
1t is surprising that man of DIR. Gun
saulus' attainments should so blunder,
as the phrase, "All men are created
free and equal" does not occur in that
great instrument. The same misquo-
tation is frequently made by orators
and writer's The Declaration states:
we hold these truths to be self-evi
dent; that all men are created equal"
DR.. Gunsaulus seems to apologize for
the breadth of the quotation as he
would have it, by saying: THE decla-
ration was the work of an hour of in
tense excitement" which is altogether
an unhistorical relation. Jefferson
probably did not build better than he
knew. As his work was writ, so let it
stand and be read forever more.

Union overcame men and mighty men when they won
the victory in that long The vanquished were

disgrace to be conquered. This feeling among the
soldiers of both sides hen the ended Its opposite
sometimes expressed by embttered civilians. Seen
in perspective those hard days and hard battles
entered in history evidence of American valor and
spirit and soldiers and civilians have the
view. At the Nashville memorial General Stephen d.
Lee who is the historian of the Confederate veterans
organization expressed the JOY of the South in the
and general prosperity of the country Exceeding that
of our fathers" and putting "the South her feet
again"
In this hearty expression is food for reflection The
South is drinking deep of prosperity exceeding any
thing her people knew under the institution of slavery
gree OF prosperity would be there, and this
be understood by the people
The of the day declared sectionalsm to be
dead and buried He pictured the great destiny Of
America, and the joyful determination of the South to

MARCUS A HANNA.
Close Political Friend of the Senator
Predict His Nomination.

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, January 22-Dr M. w.
Hissey, a close political friend of Senator
M. A. Hanna and leader in the coun-
ellis of Ohio republicans, gave out a pub
lie statement tonight in which he made
the prediction that Senator Hanna will
be nominated for president of the United
States. DR.. Hissey's statement said:
Senator Hanna has unequivocally said
he is not p candidate for the presidency.
and his fviends believe that If he were to
enter into the scramble for that offie IL
would be a detraction from his greatness
and glory. He il not a candidate.
However. the student of current events
can readily observe the signs of the
times. william Mckinley in 1896 was not
by his friends, but conditions
existing in the country were the cause
of his nomination.
Senator Hanna refuses to listen to the
pleadings of his friends. but as sure as
the sunrise follows sunset. conditions pre-
vailing in the United States during the
first half of 1904 will nominate Senator
Hanna for the presidency of the United
States"
