LINERS IN COLLISION
PARISIAN AND ALBANO MEET OFF
 HARBOR'S ENTRANCE.
Both of the Big Steamers Seriously In- jured fin Accident, But All of the Passengers Es-
 cape Harm.

Halifax, N. S., March 25.-Two great transatlantic liners, the Parisian of the Allan Line, and the Albano, a Hamburg American boat, both bound in. heavily loaded with passengers, col lided off the harbor's entrance tonight. Both were seriously damaged, but reached their docks and landed their passengers safely.
 The Parisian's stern touched bottom as she reached her wharf, while hard pumping kept the Albano afioat.
 Both steamers were from European ports, the Parisian from Liverpool, England and Neville, and the Albano from Hamburg. The Parisian had on board thousand passengers, many of whom were bound for her other port, St. Johns. N. B. The Albano carried about 800 passengers. nearly all for to have proceeded after calling here.
 The Parisian arrived off the entrance to the harbor at dusk and was taking a pilot on board when the Albano was seen coming in from sea. As the AL bano appr oached the officers of the Parisian realized that there was dan ger of a collision and the engine rooms were signalled for full speed ahead Before the Parisian could get away, the Aibano struck her starboaro. crushing in the great steel plates and opening up a hole through which the water poured into her.
 The bow plates of the Albano were bent and the stem was twisted, but the watertight compartments were promptly closed and her pumps set wig oroughly at work.
 Immediately following the collision,

the steamers headed into the harbor a, full speed, the Parisian with heavy list to the starboard, and the Albano somewhat at the head.
 The passengers on board both vessels begged that the tug boat take them off, but the little steamers clung tena- ciously to the side of the liner and nev- CT left her until she was safe at her dock. Many passengers rushed excit- edly about the deck while others knelt in prayer. Within a few minutes all had been supplied with life preservers while the life boats were ready for in- stant launching in case the vessels showed signs of laundering.
 iThe suspense of those on board the Parisian was intense. Great volumes
 of water were pouring from the vessel and the engines quivered with the ex- ertion of running the numerous pumps and keeping the vessel at top speed Half way up the harbor her stern had settled many feet, and the list to star board had become most pronounced, but the steamer kept on with the fleet of tugs alongside working to keep her afioat.
 As the vessel came alongside her wharf. lines were thrown out, gang blanks lowered and a thousand passen- gers rushed to land as the stern of the vessel touched the bottom. The AL
 bano had a somewhat similar experi- ence. although her pumps were able to keep her bow compartments fairly free, so that the alarm on board was
 not so great. The Albano reached her
 dock a short time after the Parisian
 and the passengers hurried ashore. The weather at the time was quite
 clear. According to Captain Johnson
 of the Parisian the Albano was ap- rhinQ from ana SiRn led that
 she would pass astern of the Allan
 liner, but a moment later headed for the Parisian, Captain Johnson said that he rang orders to the engine room to
 go ahead at full speed and his vessel
 had just attained headway when the
 Albano struck the Parisian. The bow
 of the Albano smashed a hole twelve
 feet wide and extending from the rail
 to below the waters edge.
 After the collision the Albano drew
 of and hastily securing pilot. fol-
 lowed the Parisian into port. Mean
 time the passengers of the Parisian
 became panic stricken. The deck was well filled with passengers. many of
 which were immigrants bound to the Canadian Northwest. These rushed
 about the deck, women fainted and
 there was a mad scramble for life pre- servers.
 The Parisian is one of the finest
 steamers in the Allan fleet and carried
 on this trip 400 sacks of mail and 1,10O
 tons of general cargo An examina-
 ton of her tonight showed the entire aft hold to be filled With water us far forward as the engine room compart.

Strong Institution May Be Established in Paris.
 Paris, March 25.-Premier Rouvier strongly approved the project to estab- fish Franco-American financial in- stitution in Paris during a recent con- versation with James Speyer of Speyer
 & Company, New York. The Premier
 had previously shown admiration for American finances as the result of the following incident, heretofore un-
 known:
 During the height of the religious agitation French rentes suffered se- rious decline. causing NJ. Rouvier, who then was Minister of Finance, some anixety. At this juncture the heads of two leading American insurance com- panies happened to be in Paris and 1t was decided that the capitalists should take $4,000, 900 of rentes. Their agents entered the bourse and made the pur- chase in a single day. The effect was magical. Rentes became steady and then rose. M. Rouvier's prestige was regatned and his admiration for the power of American funds was estab- lished. Therefore he gave the friend Hest reception to MT. Speyer's project to establish a Franco o-American bank here, one purpose of which was to piacea the new Mexican loan upon the French market
 Minister of Colonies Clementel has received a confidential report concern ing the progress and the status of the Philippine Islands and the Island of Java. The report is by Governor Gen eral Lamothe of Cochin, China, who Is a recognized authority on colonial ad- ministration. Although the report is not available, Governor Lamothe in an interview shows that 1t is a highly fa- vorable tribute to American control of the Philippines. My Government charged me-" he said. ito thoroughly investigate the economic and political conditions in the Philippines and Java. I have spent four months in the Phil ippines studying the results of Amer ican control. I was struck with the enormous prestige made in such a com paartively brief period. This has been greater during the last four years than during the $50 years preceding the American occupation. The natives are being educated, are receiving the ben eflts of municipal and provincial lib- erty and are rapidly acquiring the spirit of republican institutions. France can take a most beneficial lesson from the splendid results of the American colonial system"

Indiana to the Fore.

Keep your eyes on Indiana. Always an in
teresting state in our political affairs, and
for wears sharing with New York a pivotal
Importance in presidential contests. 1t Is
again in the swim and should be heard from
in something of the old time spirit.
Mark you. there is nothing truly great
in a craftsmanship of national committee
between presidential elections The in
cumbent has only thinking part. His
leisure is abundant. If he Is gun he
can roam the woods and fields for game
and take thought of his office. If he
is an angler he can whip the streams for
his favorite fish during the whole of the
good old summer time and have no fear
of losing any point in the political schem-
ing that may be in progress He has
no proclamations to write, no wires to pull.
His only call is to keep alive and in good
shape physically, SO as to be able to pre-
side for a moment at the meeting of the
next national convention of his party.
But with Mr.. Taggart at the head of
one committee and Mr.. New at the head
of the other-neighbors and friends-Indiana
will be the center of much gossip from now
until the early summer of 1908. What are
called fairy stories should come thick and
fast from the Hoosier commonwealth. The
days when Mr.. Taggart is not maneuver-
ing in the interests of some man on his
side may be set apart for yarns about Mr..
New and his designs Both men, we may
be sure, will be kept busy doing and deny
ing things, and the country entertained
with displays of reportorial industry and
Imagination.
A start has promptly been made. Mr..
Taggart is placed at the head of the Bryan
forces, and Mr.. News appointment is a
bitter dose for the Fairbanks people. Look
out for startling developments in the near
future We are living, we are moving, in
a strange and strenuous time Because
you see thing today is no assurance that
you will see it tomorrow. And so forth.
Mr.. Taggart and Mr. New will serve their
respective parties within the restrictions of
their places for the next three years. Then
will come the presidential nominations and
the reorganization of the two national COM
mttees. The republican candidate will
name the chairman of his party's new
committee, and the democratic candidate
the chairman of his, and there you are
All the rest is simply entertainment for the
reading public. And may that be kept at
high-water mark.

The King is Dead!

At two o'clock this morning King Winter,
weakened by the assaults Of his mortal
enemy, Spring, tottered from his throne.
A new monarch now reigns. He retains
Jupiter Pluvius in service, an invaluable
aid. and is fortunate in securing from him
a hold-over consignment of rain which that
moist manager was just delivering to Win
ter as an appropriate accompaniment of
his last day in power. East Wind is man
aging the transport of the wetness, conf
dent of a clear right of way inasmuch as
tradition has always signalled on this date
for an open track for the Equinoctial In
day or two Springs prime minister, Sol,
will give a show of his power, which is
to grow steadily until Spring, too, sue
cumbs to the rise of new force and yields
the scepter three months hence.
Everything is in good condition to make
springs early days beautiful. The severity
of the winter is forgotten. Ice and snow
have all disappeared and the warmth of
the final days of the season gave the grass
and trees and flowers a booming start.
Even yesterday, as though in mockery of
the death of winter, the earth took on a
hue of green several shades darker. and
the tulip and crocus bulbs sent their
sprouts far above the ground.
Springs commands to all men are plain
and urgent. They must get out and do the
work of preparing the soil. They must
make ready for the vernal loneliness which
nature is SO generously ready to supply
with the least aid. A little raking of the
lawn, to loosen the soil and remove the
litter of the past few months, and the
grass will soon be thick and sweet and a
delight to the eye. Vine trimming and jul
dicious pruning Of shrubs here and there
the planting of seeds, the use of the hose
on dry days and tender thoughtfulness
for all the growing things will accomplish
wonders. If every householder will join
the ranks now forming to parade in honor
of the newly risen monarch of the seasons
Washington will in very short time bios
som as a garden of delight.
