In the opinion not only of democrats.
 but of many prominent republicans as
 well, President Roosevelt has made the
 blunder of his administration by his refusal to permit his Secretary of Navy
 Paul Morton, to he prosecuted for his share in the responsibility for the granting of rebates by the Sante Fe road, tof which Morton was vice-presi- dent in charge of freight trafficl in
 violation not only of the law but also of an express injunction of the court, says our Washington correspondent.
 As result of the presidents rerusal JudsOn Harmon. who sat in Mir Cieve- lands cabinet at the same table as Paul Morton's father. and Frederick Judson, who together were retained as special counsel to prosecute the case of the government against the Sante Fe. have resigned. and the president has been compelled to make public the cor respondence connected with the case. which he does with great gusto and with the apparent conviction that he is entirely in the right. but with what competent judges declare to be an az grezation of the most specious argu- ments which were ever presented by high official of the government Tn the estimation of prominent democrats. and too of many leading republicans. the president has seriously weakened. if not destroyed his power for good. He has established the dangerous pre- cedent that where corporations are caught in fragrant violations of the law the officers responsible for such viola tions are not to he prosecuted but merely the corporations themselves Of course this is absolutely farcicaI as it means merely the insiction of me on the corporations when they gre found out. and q fine of such small propor- tioss as to act in no way as a deter rent from a repetition of the crime.

Off the coast of Columbia in the pa- cif1c ocean, about two hundred miles distant from Panama lie the Galipagos Islands belonging to Columbia. For many years some American statesmen have looked at these islands with covetous eyes but Columbia has never defgned to notice the unofficial sugges- hons made that she sell them to the United States. A change seems re- gently to have come over the Colum- bian government, supposedly caused by her damaged financial condition as result of the severance of Panama from the mother country. Rumors have reached this country that owing to her pressing need of funds Colum- bia will now negotiate for the sale of the islands. senor Enrique Cortez. q confidential agent of President Reyes has just reached New York but the na- ture of his mission has not been dis closed. From military point of view these islands would be advantageous. Two of them. San Luis and San An dres de Providencia are especially adapted as naval base to protect the entrance to the Panama canal and such a base there would give the United States absolute control over the whole of the pacificscoast south of Califor- mia. It would not create surprise in some official quarters if a proposition to purchase these islands is made to congress early in its next session.

DRINK SEA WATER; GET THIN.
New Fad Makes Large Business for
 Deep Sea Fishermen.

Sea water as medicinal beverage. chiefly designed to reduce obesity, has come into fashion among many women who are spending the summer in re- sorts along the New Jersey coast, and the business of supplying the water has grown into quite an extensive en- terprise by fishermen. It is brought by them from the deep sea, far out O. sight of land. so that there can be no danger of contamination, and Is car. ried in little kegs with brass hoops.
 Three or four glasses a day are said to have beneficial effect upon the digestion. as well as a tendency to purify the blood and reduce flesh, and the women who have taken up the fad say that the fluid is no more disagree. able to the taste than Carlsbad watefs or half dozen other drinks of a simi- lar kind. So popular has become the notion that the proprietors of several prominent seaside hotels are consider. ing the abvisability of adding deep sea water to their lists of refresh. ments.

The decision of Russia and Japan to conduct their peace conference in the capital of the United States will doubt less prove source of qualification to all loyal Americans even though they appreciate that there are some dangers entailed by the suddenly enhanced lm- portance of Washington as a diploma tic center, says an excnange. In it. self the decision implies compliment to this country for the reason that it is a testimonial to the perfect neutral ity which the United States has main- tained throughout the struggle of Rus sia and Japan for the supremacy Of the far east. Japan feared the partisan interests of Europe and persistesltly objected to meeting the Russian com missioners in any European capital save that of it's ally. England. Russia objected to London and would not lis- ten to the suggestion that the peace negotiations be conducted near the seat of war, or, in fact any where in Asia. Consequently the United States be- came the natural place in which to seek compromise city and when this was made clear to the president he i'm. mediatefy proposed Washington, all though his previous influence had been in favor of the Hague, for the senti- mental reasons surrounding the birth place of international arbitration and universal peace movement.

How It Hes Been Steadily Increasing
 For Years.
 Prices of fuel, clothing and practi- cally all food products are constantly increasing, according to a bulletin rs- gently issued by the bureau of labor covering the period from 1890 to 1904, says a Washington special dispatch to the New York World. In the early ninetes prices were very high, but in the last four years they have been steadily increasing. until now they are relatively higher than in 1892, just b. fore the memorable financial and com mercial depression. The period of low est prices was from 1894 to 1897.
 The lowest price of beef was in April, 1898, when the best choice was quoted at $3.s5 to $4.25 per hundred. The highest price was the latter part of August 1902. when the price touch ed &7.0o to $9 per hundred. Corn was lowest in 1896 and highest in 1892.
 In a table of comparison in which the average price for the years 1890 to 1899 is taken as base, sixteen articles of farm production, including sheep, cattle, hay, hogs, hides and grains, are enumerated. All except naxseed have increased over the average price from 1890 to 1899. The increases for the prices in 1904 range from 7.8 per cent on sheep and 9.7 per cent on cattle to 32.8 on corn. 35.S on oats, 38,3 on wheat and the top increase of 96.2 on New York state hops. The average in- crease in 1904 in the wholesale price of farm products over the average for the years 1890 to 1899 is 26.2 per cent. Of ffty-two articles included under the head of food 1t is shown that in 1904 the prices of all but fourteen ar ticles were higher than the average prices from 1890 to 1S99..
 Seventy articles under the head of cloth and clothing show that the aver age price for 1904 was e.6 per cent higher than the average from 1890 to 1899. The table on fuel and lighting places the average 1900 price at 32e per cent higher than the 1890 to 1899 price.

POLYGAMY DYING OUT.

Some interesting reasons why poly gamy among the native races of South Africa is dying out are given in the re port of the native affairs commission
 The chief who formerly gloried in the possession of 200 or 300 wives is now content with two score or less.
 The reason for the decline of polfga. nous habits is economic. Rinderpcsi has decided the cattle herds. and chiefs have no stock to sell or exchange for wives.
 The native headrnen from King Williams town explained to the com. missioners that a native had to devote so much time 10 making a living now adays that he had none to spare for looking after wives. His large family. too, ate up all his land produced. and debarred him from making progress.
 Sir Marshall Clarke. Resident Com- missioner of Rhodesia. took the excep- tional view that the government should encourage the poiygamy that prevails. It is social system. ile said, the result of which Is that .'eyery woman has a protector" and It's aboli- tion would introduce pauperism. Ere duentIy it is a family arrangement. "a man does not always collect num- Der of young wives. as is popularly sup posed. He inherits very often a num- Der of old women"
 The Natal Zulus have not an old maid among them. Every woman be- comes a wife.
 But even in Natal pSlygamy Is on the wane. There have been few polyga- nous marriages since the rinderpest- The man who would have bought a wife must now buy COW when he hss any money to spare

RED FLAG OF REVOLT
Russian Poland In Ferment
 at Lodz Slaughter.
WARSAW IS IN STATE OF SIEGE.
Martial Law at Lodx-Mob Fight Un- der Flag of Anarchy on Many Bar. ricades-Stormed by Troops
 and the Police.

] AnO th0 FOl1Ces ST. PETERSBURG, June 27.- The red flag of revolt has been raised al Warsaw, Kovno and other places in Russian Poland out of sympathy with the victims of the rioting at Lodz, and so far as these cities are concerned, l the situation almost approaches the dignity of open rebellion. Warsaw is in state of siege. Pa. trols of cavalry and infantry are mov- ing in every street. A general strike was preceded by attempts at red flag demonstrations, but the Cossacks charged and dispersed the rioters with their whips. On Veronia street sullen crowd made stand, and a patrol ! fired.
 Many bakers have joined the work men, and Warsaw is threatened with bread famine. In some of the streets the workmen threw up barricades to resist the troops. All the Polish news papers have been forbidden to issue any editions.
 At Kovno mob of thousand per sons surrounded and attacked the po- lice station and the governor generals palace.
 All the windows were broken before the rioters were overpowered by the police. Five policemen were wounded. At Warsaw disorderly crowds throng- cd the streets. They have erected bar ricades at Ogrodowa, Krochmalna and Wronia streets, on top of which they placed red flags. The police and sol diers stormed these barricddes, and ten persons were wounded by bullets or bayonets. Another affray took place Ut Zelazna street, where Cossacks charged the crowd and wounded three persons. In the central market crowd attacked patrol with revolvers, to which the patrol replied with vol leys, wounding three persons and kill ing boy.
 Five workmen who had refused to strike were stabbed to death by their comrades. Revolutionary proclama- lions have been posted on the walls. and 200 persons have been arrested.
 Since the proclamation of martial law at Lodz the situation has become Quieter.
 The yumor of an approaching massa- ere of Jews has caused 10000 Jews to leave the town.
 Business is at a standstill, and all traffic has been stopped.
 A case of disantection among the troops was reported when the officers of one regiment informed their com mander that they would refuse to fire on defenseless people. The regiment was at once transferred to another place.
 Every new dispatch accentuates the seriousness of the situation in Poland and the Caucasus. where a state of al- most open war exists, and reports of strikes, demonstrations and agrarian disorders are pouring in from many parts of Russia proper, as if the vol leys fired at Lodz had been the sigral for an outbreak of general disorders like those following the events of Jan. 22, ''red Sunday"
