HER BOW SMASHED IN
COLLISION IN A FOG
Steamer Hudson Crashes
Into Schooner and Is at
Breakwater for Orders

Lewes, May 4.-With her bow stove
in and leaking badly, the British steam
er Hudson arrived at the Delaware
Breakwater towing the disabled five
masted schooner I. Charlton Henry,
the result Of a collision eighteen miles
east Of Five Fathom Bank lightship
during a dense fog.
The steamer ran into the schooner
bow on, striking the latter opposite
her fifth mast, smashing a hole six ia
eight feet in width, extending from the
rail down below the water line. For
tunately, no one was injured in the
collision and good management kept
both vessels from sinking before reach
ing the Breakwater
In the collision the steamer crushed
her bow in and 1t was necessary to jet
tison part of her cargo OF case oil be-
tween decks to life her crushed bow
above the water line. The steamer is
from Philadelphia, bound for Singa-
pore, with a cargo of case oil. She re-
ceived orders and proceeded to Phila-
delphia for repairs this afternoon.
The schooner carried a cargo OF Goa
for Boston from Baltimore, and is now
lying at the Breakwater awaiting or
ders. She has noted protest and will
hold survey and will probably be or
dered to Philadelphia to make neces-
sary repairs.

Is IT ExTRAvAeANoE7

The Every Evening, following the
lead OF the New York World, is vast
ing great deal of time I'm discussing
the extravaganza OF Mr.. Roosevelts ad-
ministration. But what is extrava-
gance? II does not necessarily consist
in spending money. The Pennsylvania
Railroad, for instance, has decided to
spend s5o.000.oO this year IN better
ments. Is that extravaganza? Not
necessarily; it may turn out to be the
truest economy.
Our contemporary compares the ad-
mlnlstration OF Roosevelt with that OF
Madison--of Polk and Of Lincoln. With
out stopping TO mention our great
growth On population aud our enormous

Los Angeles, Cal, May 4.-More than
5000 Methodists on their way to tho
general conference in this city wer,
stranded I'm the Grand canyon Of tho
Colorado without food and water from
3 o'clock Sunday until late Monday
More than 500 were forced to remain
until the next morning.
Dr. s. w. Thomas, editor OF the Phil.
adelphia Methodist. said: About half
past o'clock Sunday afternoon seven
sections OF the delegate specials land
ed in the canyon. Every car was dan
gerously loaded when the train began
the ascent from williams Junction
The strain was too severe. Several Of
the engines went dead, and the road.
bed gave way, causing a general
wreck.
Away from food and water without
necessary provisions with them, the
conference delegation, 5000 strong,
poured down upon the Canyon hotel
The manager had expected about 500
He made provision FOR 1000, and the
consequence was every one suffered
both for food and drink.
IAN Sunday afternoon trainmen, no
tel hands, ranchers and Methodists
helped to construct a new railroad. II
was literally Methodists' rail. On its
completion depended the lives OF the
5000.
Sunday night the work was contin.

able bodied man at the pick and shovel
and 50 II continued until nearly sun
down Monday afternoon. The new
rail was built around the wreck, aud

QUE ~ RuRnEN.

The burden Of taNsuon the real es-
tate Of this city is bearing Is becoming
so heavy that the den and for relief is
emphatic. The city rate is onw s150
on the hundred. while the county rate Is
s. cents. Combining the two. we have
a rate OF s2.l5 on the hundred This Is
excessive and burdensome, and It must
be remembered, too, that most prop
critics are assessed at their full value,
and many far above the selling price.
To see how this burden results TO in
vestments in real estate, let us take a
house that would sell for $4,000. The
city and county taxes amount to $50.
The water rent win amount TO about
SIS. Insurance will cost IS, and It win
require an average expenditure of $50
annually to keep the property in repair.
This makes an annual expenditure on
the part Of the landlord OF si56.
II he has a good tenant every month
in The year. who pays his rent, he will
set 5000. for s25 per month is all that
Ne can Eet for such a house. He will
have clear Sii4 for his investment
making his money earn him three and
one-half per cent. Yet the savings fund
win pay him four per cent. II the
house is tenantiess for a few months, or
If his tenant has hard luck and can't
pay. his property brings him into debt
That is the reason so many houses are
for sale cheap; It is also the reason that
so few medium priced houses are being
built.
Then look at II from the standpoint
OF the tenant. He is paying as much,
and possibly more. for his house than
the same grade would cost him IN Phil
adelphia, yet the land here is not worth
one-half as much. He and the land
lord are sharing the burden between
them. II our property We're assessed
at two-thirds Of It's value and the rate
were what 1t is IN Phlladelphia-Si.5O
on the hundred. and the difference went
to the tenant, he would pay S2l a
month instead Of S25.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Kindnss. ItseIf.


From the Pail Mall Gazette.
When the Russian press does per-
NIT us TO fnd favor In its eyes, its
graciousness Is overpowering. The
Novoe Vremya, taking time by the fore-
lock and both ears as well, advocates
an Anglo Russian entente. II pictures
a future in which England and RUS
sia could remain the two great world
Powers-one agricultural, the other In
dustrial; the one all-powerful on the
sea, the other all-powerful on land"
IL Is a charming horoscope, for we may
take Il that the Novoe Vremya would
concede us a half-penny worth Of land
just to set off our monstrous quantity
OF sea. Sack and seowater are both
the better for a garnishing OF solids.
II is not indicated how the other part
ner of the Dual Alliance would fare IN
this amicable division between the lion
and the bear. although the point might
inspire NJ. Delcasse with a legitimate
curiosity The Novoe Vremya, how
ever. explains that it would be neces-
sary TO suppress the ambitions OF the
United States-"an insolent purvenu
stretching its legs on the table of
Aslastic politics. Americans should
have learned, OF course, by this time
that there Is only room for one pair OF
legs upon that piece Of furniture. Some
English ministers have certainly done
their best to show them how to accept
and carry out the lesson.

SUGAR FRoM poTAroEs.

An effort Is being made to interest
the Agricultural department In en-
perlments looking to the manufacture
Of sugar from the sweet potato. By
most persons sugar cane Is regarded
as the natural and usual source OF our
sugar supply yet more than one half
Of the sugar used in all the world comes
from the sugar beet.
And what is the sugar. beet? It is a
species which has been developed from
the ordinary beet by selection. When
experiments were first made the be
beets contained only seven per cent. OF
saccharine matter. but by selection
this has been doubled, and in certain
tests it has gone as high as twenty-one
per cent.
Now experiments show, that to begin
with, the sweet potato yields about the
same per cent. OF sugar as did the beet
before it began to be improved; and
there is little doubt that IL could be
made to show results equal to those
obtained from the beet.
II this is possible, the immense in
dustry that might be developed is ap-
parent. There is an immense section
Of territory skirtlng the Atlantic from
New Jersey to Florida adapted to grow
ing sweet potatoes. The yield is limit
ed TO the demand, but could the veRe-
table be turneu into sugar the yield
would be increased ten-fold. There are
thousands Of acres Of poor sandy land
adapted for nothing else that would
grow the finest potatoes. At fair prices
Delaware, New Jersey. Virginia, the
Carolinas and Georgia would grow
enough potatoes to furnish the world
with sugar.

JUDGE GRAY.

The Bryan democrats Of this State
have used an argument Of It can be
dignifed by that name) against Judge
Grays selection as a presidential cam
dldate. which we have always felt did
that eminent iurist a great injustice
They have said that he Is yet great
friend TO the Pennsylvania Railroad
and have intimated that this corpora
tion is back Of him for the nomination.
How unjust such insinuatlons are
may be inferred from a recent decision
OF Judge Gray. concurred In by his
colleagues In the contest between the
Western Union and the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company the lower court had
rendered decision favorable to the
railroad, but the appellate court speak
ing through Judge Gray. reverses the
decision and sends the case back for
retrial.
There is nothing remarkable IN this,
save that It dlsposes Of all the mean
insnuations which have been uttered
by those who do not understand the
character Of Judge Gray. The Penn
sylvania Railroad employed Mr.. Gray
as one Of It's counsel for years ere he
was elevated TO the bench, yet of course
that fact does not weigh when ne comes
