HONEST PIERPONT.

THE ITALIANS are making lot of
fuss over the action of J. PierpOnt
Morgan in returning the stolen AscoIi
cope which he purchased some time
ago. The Italian minister called on Mr.
Morgan Sunday and thanked him in
the name OF his government. \ dis
patch says the minister also expressed
the high appreciation of the italian peo-
pie for the course pursued by Mr. Nor
gan" The same message told of a gold
medal that Is being prepared for the
American banker commemorative of the
incident.
one side of the medal shows a nude
youth representing art, while woman
represents history. The other side con-
tains the head of Mr.. Morgan and his
coat Of arms. How very charming all
that is. Duplicates of the medal. ex-
cept that they viii be of base metal, will
doubtless be struck off and distributed
among the Italian peasantry. They
may also be sold to such American
tourists as are foolish enough to buy
them. And why? Because Mr. Nor
gan was honest
that? Surely the finding of an honest
banker in the United States should not
occasion SO much excitement. The fact
that it does is anything but a tribute
TO American honesty in general. and to
American bankers in particular. Why
shouldn't Mr.. Morgan return the cope
after it was demonstrated to him that
IL had been stolen? Suppose you should
buy a horse tomorrow. and the NEXT
day a man should come along and tell
you that the horse belonged to him
that il had been stolen from his barn.
And suppose he should demonstrate to
you that the horse really did belong TO
him and that you had bought it from
thief Wouldn't you turn the horse
over to its rightful owner?
OF course You would. if you are an
ordinarily honest man. and we believe
you are. Why should not the principle
that applies TO any stolen property ap-
ply with equal force TO a stolen cone?
Because a banker was Victimized2 Are
bankers superior to common nortaIs in
that they must be lauded TO the skies
when they perform an act Of common
honesty? You would not expect anv
medals for returning a stolen horse.
You wouldn't get any il you did.
Neither should Mr.. Morgan have the
Italian nation sobbing. metaphoricalIv.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

THE BASEBALL SEASON is under
way in the east, and if anybody
thought that the great American game
had lost it's hold on the affections Of the
public he changed his mind when he
read the attendance figures. Something
like 10000 people saw the opening
games. So baseball has not lost its
popularity. and we believe it Will be
long time before il does, if ever Base
ball is distinctly an American game. It
originated in the United States, and it
has been developed here to its present
state of almost perfection.
There is no outdoor game that equals
II. for there IS no other game that con-
tains so many possibilities for clean
sport II is almost impossible to have
dishonest baseball. In the first place,
though the players are recruited fCom
all ranks OF life, it is extremely seldom
that one who is willing to throw a game
is found. They all want to win and
they all try hard to win Wheneve- n
dishonest player is found he is an out
law against whom every mans hand is
raised.
Another feature Of baseball is the alb
sence of brutality. While it IS true that
il, the neat of an exciting struggle play
ers occasionally come into unnecessarily
s7rcible collision with each other o.
With the umpire, a serious injury is
rarely sustained. While twenty times
as many boys and men play baseball a IS
play football, and the proportion may
be larger than this. the football casual
ties O1ltuurn her those of baseball bv n
least twenty to one.
The salt Lake baseball season. as
far as the league is concerned, viii not
open for several weeks, but it is graft
flying to know that when the opening
comes the salt Lake team VIII be ready
for it. The club should have the sup
port OF the entire public, for even if
you don't care for baseball yourself
you can't encourage your neishbor into
any healthier form Of recreation.

DOES MILWAUKEE
NEED ANOTHER COURT
Assemblyman Westphal Says Not and
Milwaukee Attorneys Are Not
Stirring Themselves.

Madison, Wis. Feb. 25.--[ Special /
Senator Wipperman, member of the jul
dietary committee, is drafting bill today
to provide for the redistricting of the
state into judicial circuits. The recon.
mendation of the commission appointed
two years ago for this work has been
discussed before the committee for sew
cral days, attorneys from all parts of the
state appearing for or against it. The
Nlpperman bill will conform to the rec.
concentrations of the commission except
that Waushara county will remain IN
Judge Webbs district and there will be
one term of court in Adams county in
stead of two. There is still some ques-
tio- as to whether Milwaukee county
should have another court or not. AS
semblyman Nestphal, a member of the
committee. said that there was no need
of another court in that city, but some of
the Milwaukee attorneys who have been
here this week say thar 1t is generally
believed that another court should be es-
Ia blished in milwaukee, county. There
has been no organized effort on the part
of the bar association of that city either
for or against the report.

MANY DEATHS FROM FEVER
Disease Appears at Many Places

ITALIANS HIDE THEIR SICK
The State of Arkansas Establishes a
Shotgun Quarantine by State
Militia.

The yellow fever situation in New
Orleans and the south, to August 2,
is as follows:
AT New Orleans-Total cases, 37S;
total in other towns-16 cases but only
one death
No apprehension exists of any SER
ious results from the trouble that has
arisen on the Mississippi and Louisi-
ana border over the enforcement of the
Mississippi quarantint. Reports of
Captain Bostick, of the Naval Re-
serve, and of Colonel Arsene Poril-
liat, of Governor Blanchard's staff,
confirmed the charges that Louisiana
fishermen, boatmen and citizens have
been interfered with and that has
been some obstruction to traffic in
Lake Borgne canal, and that the
revenue cutter Winona which Is doing
service under the direction of Sur
geon Wasdin, has interfered with
Louisiana boats.
These reports led Governor
Blanchard to order Captain Bostick
and the mosquito fleet of the oyster
commission to the scene With Gov
ernor Vardaman anxious to avoid any
conflict with the Louisiana authorities.
it is thought that the Mississippi
soldiers, who have, 1t is said, been
coming across the Louisiana line,
will hereafter be required to keep on
their side of the border and thus all
further possibility of clashes will be
over.
In spite of all that has been done
to reassure them, many Italians try
to conceal their cases. They are still
stricken with panic, and they turn in
fear from doctors and health officers.
Details of the State militia were
assigned to guard the gateways to the
State of Arkansas Rigid shotgun
quarantine will be enforced.

STEEL AND IRON TRADE
Demand Continues Good and Rail
Mills Full of Work

The Iron Age says: The iron trade
generally continues in very sound
and satisfactory condition. The de-
mand for billets and sheet bars has
continued good and prices are high
er. The rail mills are full of work.
For some small lots for September de-
livery some of the large systems have
indicated readiness to pay mod
crate premium.
The condition of the structural
trade is well illustrated by the fact
that the United States Steel Corpora.
ton has started to build a mill for
rolling structural shapes at the Clair
ton plant. This mill, which will have
capacity of 10000 tons of shapes
ranging from 4 to S-inch, is to be
completed in the extraordinary time of
13 weeks.
The strong position of steel is hay.

concessions are not being made as

ments are fair, and the buying of
boiler tubes is good. The eastern
scrap trade shows prices firm and
advancing.

DEFEATED CzAR's FORCES
Japanese Army Wins a Victory
After Hard Fight.
RUSSIAN COURAGE KEEPS UP
General Linevitch Denies the Report
That His Army was Surrounded.

An official report from japanese
headquarters on the island of SAX
halin says the Japanese army July
2S defeated the Russians south of
Rykoff, and later occupied Palero
after hard fighting. The Russians re-
tired southwark.
Gen. Saraguchi, commander-in-chief
of the Sakhalin forces, ordered the
establishment of civil administra-
tion July 80.
Gen. Linevitch has telegraphed to
the Russian emperor under date of
July 20 denying the frequently pub
lished reports that his army was COM
pletely surrounded. He says the
army has never been in a dangerous
position. The flanks have never been
turned, although the Japanese sought
to do so.
A dispatch to the London "Times'
from st. Petersburg says that another
imperial telegram, even more warlike
than the emperor's reply to the Rims
burg clergy, appears in the "Official
Messenger" The emperor, replying
to an address from Khabarovsk,
heartily approves the recommendation
to continue the war until the enemy
Is crushed and above all not to think
Of the cession of territory or the pay
ment of an indemnity.
