MAKES A CONTRACT
TO RAISE THE MAINE
United States Doubts Its Right to
Abandon the Property

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 13.-R.
III. F. Sewell. of New Orleans, has in
formed the navy department that he
has made a contract with the Cuban
government to raise the wreck of the
battleship Maine, which has lain in the
mud of the harbor of Havana since
the explosion on the night of Feb. Is,
1898. Before proceeding with the work
Mr.. Sewell says he desires to know
what claim, If any, the United States
has against the wreck.
1t raises an interesting question, the
settlement of which may cause en-
barrassment. One point that puzzles
the legal officers of the navy is as to
whether the wreck has been actually
abandoned and the determination Of
that point involves the right of the
executive branch to abandon United
States property in a case like the pres
ent without express provision of law.
The Cuban government, it is under
stood, makes no claim of ownership to
the wreck and is governed in it's action
simply by desire to improve the nav
igation of the harbor.

A VIGOROUS ocToeENARIAN

There is nothing the matter with the
Democratic candidate for the vice pres
idency. Former Senator Davis, of West
Virginia, is 81 years old. He is man
of vast affairs, $who withdrew from
public life many years ago because in
his advancing years he did not feel that
he could give the double energy re-
quired by politics and by business. Yet
he is still in the full vigor of life, and
is meeting the demands now made
upon him with all the spirit and energy
of a STRIPPING
He has welcomed the labors of an
arduous campaign with open joy. He
announces publicly that he is not 60
ing to be fgufehead in the campaign,
but with begin With his state conven-
tion few weeks hence, and after that
take most active part in affairs. He
has rolled up his sleeves to put his pri-
vate affairs in order. SO that he may
have more time to give to the public.
Heis a Democrat of the Democrats and
is worfhy5ef the hofrofs that have been
given to hiIss His record in public life
Is long andshighlE honorable one; and
he is one OF those sturdy Americans,
making their oWnway from poverty and
insignifcance to wealth and power, yet

CARDINAL SAToLLf

st. Paul gave princely welcome to
reception given Cardinal Satolli simply
gave expression to the esteem in which
the distinguished guest is held, not only
by the members of his own church, but
by the laity generally 1t was princely
in its warmth rather than by reason Of
its dressing. 1t was a testimonial to
the man as we'll as to the eminent
churchman
And Cardinal Satolli should be
welcome guest in this OR any other
city Of the United States. He is one Of
those sons of the church who are born
to the mission of administration. His
genius has been demonstrated in the
world of diplomacy as we'll as in other
lines of effort. When he came to the
United States as papal ALLOCATE he was
an unknown man on this side the At
lantic. He came to fill a mission deli
cate as the field was untried. A titular
archbishop without a diocese, he came
without other visible honors than as
the bearer of the confidence of Leo
XIII. His skill in meeting situations
that were difficult, his learning and his
piety commended him to the people of
America as his success impressed the
Vatican. He Won his cardinalate in the
United States and he stands now so
invaluable ally to the church in Amer
lea.
st. Paul delights in honoring Cardi-
nal Satolli and he was welcomed as
friend rather than as stranger. In
deed, he was not stranger to many
Of the thousands who participated In
the reception last night, for his visit to
ST. Paul nine years ago, when he con-
secrated the then new st. Paufs SEM
mary, still lives in the memory of those
who were fortunate enough to come in
contact with him at that time.
tingnished guests, but few of them
have been more cordially and respect
fully received and none had higher
claims on the esteem and respect of the
people than this prince Of the church
who stands SO close to its great head
in Rome and so near to the heart of the
Catholic church in America.

Harmony Between National and State
Bureaus Is Proposed

CONCORD, N. H, July 13-At to-
day session of the Association of Off
Gals OF Bureaus of Labor Statistics a
special committee on harmony be-
tween national and state officers in the
collection of statistics made report.
concluding with these recommended
lions
That the greatest advance in COL
'laoorat1ng and co-ordinating statistical
work can be made by the cooperation
OF the state officers with the United
states bureau of the census in taking
the census of manufactures of 1905.
That the schedule used by the bu-
reau in the collecting Of the statistics of
manufactures be permanently adopted
as the basis for similar, work by the
state statistical officers.
That the employment of the chiefs of
the state bureaus of labor by the bu-
reau of the census as special agents to
collect the statistics of manufactures
will greatly assist in cooperative work
and establish the basis for such work
in all statistical inventions undertaken
by the federal and state governments.
That the members of the association
who hold office in the states where the
existing laws interfere in cooperative
work between federal and state officers,
endeavor to secure legislation similar
to the joint resolution of the thirtieth
general assembly of Iowa."

cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul, was in
the Twin Cities yesterday, and his
presence Immediately started rumors
in railroad circles that the reported ac-
QUESTION of the Wisconsin Central by

firmed. President Earring, however,

declared that he had come to the Twin
Cities for no other purpose than to
meet party of friends who arrived
from the coast yesterday afternoon
over the Northern Pacific.
President Earling arrived in ST. Paul
yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, his
private car having been attached to
the Pioneer Limited. He went through
to Minneapolis and visited the local
offices of the company in that city. He
stopped at. st. Paul in the afternoon
and left at 2:40 o'clock for Chicago.
Though President Earring would not
sanction an interview on the subject, it
is reported that the party that came
from the coast has been making in
vestigations looking toward the ex-
tension of the Milwaukee to the coast.
1t is said that the extension will be
through Bismarck, and thence west,
with terminals at Seattle.

RATES FOR HARVEST
LANDS ANNOUNCED
Men Must Travel in Parties of Five on
One Second Class Ticket

To prevent the general public taking
advantage of the special rate granted
to harvest hands, the railroads have
this year attached a condition which
will make the rate applicable only when
parties of five or more travel together
on one second class ticket.
The rate established from Chicago,
Kansas City and st. Louis to st. Paul
is Sc, and a maximum rate of Sc from
st. Paul to the wheat belt of the Red
River valley in Minnesota and Dakota
will be put in by the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and 500. The return
rate will be 81 higher than the west
bound rate, and will be in effect from
Sept to Nov. 80.
The influx of harvest hands into the
Northwest will begin during the latter
part of this month, and special efforts
will be made by the employment bu-
reaus to secure all the men who are
now working in the Southwest.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TYPE

The one fact in American history
that more than any other has helped
to instill in the minds of the people. the
belief that superior destiny which
must affect all mankind awaits these
United States is that in periods -of trial
great men have invariably been found
at the head of affairs. Nevertheless
the writer who has attempted in the
some idea of the presidential type is in
the main right when he says that 'the
presidents have all been what one may
call without offense representative mid
die class men,"
1t is all the easier to admit the truth
Of his remark, because the term mid
die class contains no reproach for the
great bulk Of the American people
From the beginning it has stood for the
government-for what it has honestly
believed to be superior government
and it is not surprising, therefore, that
this responsibility and this belief should
have evolved q superior middle class.
If it had struggled UP to place in the
government, it would view those who
desire to be leader with overcautious
eyes, perhaps, but because it has al
ways ruled, it has the quality of broad
vision
Therefore when the correspondent of
the English review declares that lin
ability firmly to grasp his character
has given Mr.. Roosevelt more slender
hold on the affections of the American
people than one would naturally ex-
pect" slur may have been intended,
but over here 1t will not be felt. In
reality the writer pays a fine compli-
ment to the intelligence Of the Ameri-
can people. 1t shows lack neither of.
wit nor of imagination to fail to grasp
a character full of vagaries. 1t would
show a lack of both if the middle class
viewed with no uneasiness the associa-
ton Of such a character with the office
of chief executive.
To be "a trifie suspicious of genius
is no fault in a democracy where the
safety Of the people depends on safe
and sane representation in all govern
mental functions. Nowhere else, per-
haps. is genius more admired, nowhere
else has it greater opportunity for de-
velopment, but the normal must rule in
democracy and such rule would be en-
dangered were the abnormal habitually
exhibited as the type Of the peoples
choice. The English correspondent is
absolutely right, therefore, when he
says that democracy would prefer the
dull level of mediocrity rather than
brilliancy in form which it cannot
quite comprehend" 1t would be sui
cidal to prefer anything else.

CONVICTION UNDER

Maryland Judge Says Law Must Be
Enforced

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 13.-The
first conviction in Maryland under the
"Jim Crow" car law which was passed
at the last session OF the legislature
was secured today in the criminal
court, when Judge Wright found
James Davis, colored, guilty of violat-
ing the terms of the law and fined him
$25.
Davis was arrested aboard the
steamer Rock Creek July 2, while she
was lying at the Baltimore wharf, on
a charge of refusing to occupy the col
ored apartments on the steamer. In
imposing the fine Judge Wright said:
ct must be understood that this law
must be explicitly obeyed. A law SIM
liar to that has been declared consti-
tutional by the highest court in this
land, and citizens must remember that
infractions of it win be punished.

a PARALLEL

There Is an interesting resemblance
between the courageous message Of
Judge Parker to the st. Louis conven-
ton and a somewhat similar act which
appeared to be the foundation stone
of fame for one of Minnesota's gifted
sons. The people of this state had long
known and admired Cushman K. Davis,
and his personal friends had both loved
him and perceived in him the qualities
that make for greatness, but he had
still a national reputation to make
when what seemed to be an embarrass-
ing crisis arose before him. It was
when some Of his constituents de-
manded of him specific action during a
strike. and he sent his telegram to the
Duluth strikers that afterward became
a part Of national history.
The current remark for a few days
was that Senator Davis had practically
destroyed himself politically That it
was a brave thing to do, noble and
patriotic thing, was everywhere quietly
admitted. At the same time it was al
legged to be an unreasonable and i'm
polite thing, and there were plenty
who thought that Senator Davis had
saved his manhood and his American
ism at the expense of his place in pub
lie life. Yet 1t was not many months
before that message was the talk of
every community in every state of the
Union. 1t was that message by which
he was best remembered. 1t was that
message that was referred to after
ward as the first sign Of approaching
greatness whenever his later achieve
ments brought him into renewed prom
inence.
Judge Parker's message was the same
sort Of act. It was rising to great
emergency. 1t was throwing to the
winds petty restraints of expediency.
1t was opening the eyes plainly to the
great danger and welcoming it with a
smile. 1t was the sudden rising above
all the little rules of everyday life and
everyday action, and the sending like
bolt from the blue Of the straight,
swift, sharp answer which honor and
truth demanded. 1t spread a momen-
tary CONSERVATION, it raised momen-
tary antagonism. but it has made Judge
Parker known to millions of his coun-
trymen in a light that nothing can OBJ
scure.
Its effect will be cumulative. 1t will
go on growing from day to day. 1t has
the force of absolute demonstration,
and no insinuations and no charges can
make the American people disbelieve
in the inherent manhood and courage
| of him who did not hesitate to do this
act. Wherever the news is carried the
verdict will be that of the London
newspapers that we have quoted, will
be that of every straightforward and
honorable man whom you may speak to
on the street. Judge Parker will be-
| come day by day the highest type of
| hero, patriot and statesman to his ad-
| miring countrymen.
