nevertheless, / was as one who was

Feeling my way along the dark pas
Bages, and creeping SO softly that I
could not hear the sound Of my foot
steps, I came to the door Of my dear
Eunice's bedroom. slid down, and
pressed my lips to the door, then rose,
and felt my way onward again. I
paused at the door Of my bedroom, in
which my darling wife lay, the dearest,
purest, sweetest woman that ever shed

my head against the panel. did not
pray-I could not; but the mute voice
within me was bidding adieu to life,
to love.
Softly rose to my feet, and went out

Private Bank Regulation.

A number Of representative Italian
citizens have appealed to Governor
Stokes and Commissioner Watkins, OF
the Department Of Banking and Insur-
ance, in Trenton, to assist in the pas
sage OF more stringent laws to regu-
late institutions which practically
carry on private banking business

thin to effectively patrol the waters that
surround interests" If the United
States were suddenly to become embrofied
with foreign nation of the first rank,
with England, Germany. France or Japan,
it would be difficult to concentrate de-
fensive fleet upon the coasts of the main
land in season to Offset the determined as
sault of the enemy.
The truth is that the United States is vul-
nerable in this respect There was time
when we boasted of this vulnerabiiity,
spoke of it as a sign of our confidence in
our immunity from attack and in our abil-
ity to rally from a first severe blow and
eventually win out against any adversary
But a sounder reasoning prevails today
among those who have studied the course
of world events. The axiom that a power
full navy is the surest guarantee of peace
is being steadily more widely recognized
The President aptly puts the case in new
style in this paragraph of his Brooklyn
speech:
THE surest way for a nation to invite
disaster is to be opulent, aggressive and
be aggressive unless aggression is demand
ed, and, finally, we must remember that
to be aggressive, above all in speech, ana
not to be armed is to invite not merely
disaster. but the contempt of mankind.

Russia's Disaster Complete.

From hour to hour the tale of the Russian
defeat in the Japan sea becomes more COM
plCte. and with the details grows the as
surance that there was never a more thor
oGgh destruction of naval force aside
from the two disasters suffered by Spain
at sea In the war with the United States.
OF the whole great fleet of twenty-six fight
ing ships of all classes. comprising eight
battleships. three coast defense monitors,
three armored cruisers, four protected
cruisers and eight miscellaneous ships, in
cluoing torpedo boat destroyers, all but
four were destroyed captured OF these
four the protected cruiser Almaz and the
destroyer Grozny have arrived at vladi-
vostok. The Smolensk, a small converted
cruiser. has taken refuge at Wusung, near
Shanghai. and the protected cruiser Izum-
rud is yet to be located. To offset the
escape of the two protected cruisers. both
of which are known to be badly damaged,
comes the as yet usconfirmed report that
the large cruiser Gromoboi, the feetest
ship of the yladivostok squadron went
south to aid Rojestvensky and was sunk
by a Japanese mine. The Russian admir-

Decoration Day Weather.

The elements were good to Washington
mans yesterday in view of the exposure of
many thousands TO the possibility of a chill
ling and q wetting. Decoration day
weather is as proverbiaIly tickle as
the weather of st. Patrick's day. There
Is probably an even greater chance
of trouble in late May than in mid
die April, for this Is the season for
thunder storms. Yesterday morning was
of just the kind to weaken the faith of
picnic-goers and excursionists and other
holiday makers. There was rain in the
air. and the clouds came and went and
finally in the early afternoon they squeezed
forth few drops which seemed to promise
a drenching. But to the delight of the
multitudes engaged in all sorts of diver
sions. the menace passed and the late
afternoon was ideal. True, it did blow and
rain and otherwise make trouble during
the night. The storm that gave the city
a good Wetting down at about 9 O'Clock in
terfered somewhat with the beiated river
parties, and at least one boat load of
pleasure seekers had to remain down the
river all night, to the great distress of
those at home. However there We're no
accidents, and so far as known but little
discomfort resulted from the play of the
storm forces This was a better outcome
of a dubious day than the city had any
reasonable ground to expect at midday.

Our Naval Needs.

The President chose timely topic for
his Brooklyn Memorial day speech when he
turned his attention TO the naval needs of
this country. While he spoke the cables
We're hummins with news from the far east
telling of the great battle just fought be-
tween Japan and Russia in the Korea
strait. The astounding success of the jan
anese was the theme of discourse whenever
two or more people met and conversed. Ii
was acknowledged on all sides that but for
the superiority of her naval force last Sat
urday Japan would today be at the mercy
of Russia. her coast cities in danger of
bombardment and destruction and her army
in Manchuria cut of from base
The President spoke for a big navy for
the United States. II is no longer merely
his hobby" 1t is the earnest desire of a
majority of Americans that this country
be placed on a par with other powers in
the matter of maritime equipment. It's
needs are today greater than ever. Its
interests are spread over the world as never
before 1t has established itself as a world
power of the first rank ard it's influence is
felt in every situation. chiefly because OF
It's size its commercial Importance and its
conservatism.
AS far as the ships in existence and their
navy is good today perhaps as good
as any other. We boast much here
in this country about the superiority
of the American personnel. We take
courage, too, from the demonstrations
which the current war has afforded of the
infinite value of a well-trained crew and a
weIl-educated set OF officers, and above all
of good character in ward room and fore
castle. We think that our ships can more
than hold their own against all corners.
with even numbers. solely because we have
better gunners and engineers and COM
manders.
This may be true. The ingenuity, the
patriotism. the strength, skill and capacity
OF the American seamen may be of a
higher grade than in any other navy in the
world. even the japanese. But If this Is
true. 1t is also true that we have not today
ships enough to give our superior individual
fighters their full chance to defend the
American interests should occasion arise
Our navy must now be spread out pretty
