Hands Across tho Channel.

To-day q French feet appears at
Cowes and Portsmouth to return the
visit made at Brest recently by the Brit
ish Channel feet. Elaborate prepara-
tions are being made for its entertain
ment, covering at least week and
promising to cast into the shade the
famous Cronstadt visit. King EDWARD
will be on hand and will meet the officers
almost daily, entertaining them on his
yacht and at Windsor Castle. The Lord
Mayor of London will give them for
midable corporation dinner the houses
OF Parliament will have them at lunch
con, the Admiralty officials. the officers
Of the feet, the Royal Yacht Club, the
local functionaries at Portsmouth will
all help in giving the French officers
and seameh good time.
The remarkable sight at Brest OF Brit
ish and French tars fraternizing when
on shore leave will undoubtedly be re-
peated, and while Portsmouth's well
come may be less demonstrative, the
Frenchmen will be made to feel that it
Is no less cordial than Brest's, in which
the popular enthusiasm was noticeable.
II looks as If the man in the street in both
countries had walked up to the fact that
the interests of both nations are identi-
cal in most matters and that an honest
entente may be as strong defense as
many an alliance.
The French fleets visit to Portsmouth
makes for the worlds peace. 1t marks
once more the Strengthening Of a sensible
understanding to which Kaiser Will
HELM has unwittingly contributed.

A pro.e.. Against the DETACHMENT Of the Park.

~
To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-.Sfr: Part Of tho
,nodus op'rand OF the religious revival propa-
eandst consists OF adjoining the rocks Of our parks
and highways with legends such as: Prepare
TO meet thy Cod" or Come 10 Jesus" In good
many cases this Is supplemented by the address
OF the nearest mission.
Let US hope that the proper authorities will sec
their way clear TO prevent spread OF this prac-
tse The men responsible for this sort OF sdver
Using should remember that there arc people who
70 To tho parks with the intention OF getting In
touch with nature. and that to many OF them this
evidence Of religious dogma and sacerdotllism Is
Mt welcome.
Meanwhile We have not heard from the gentle
men who protested so vigorously against the ad-
yertisemeuts of certain brand Of hats. Perhaps
we might have heard from them did the legends
read: Come TO jehovah" Follow Mohammed."
They, very likely would also have been heard from
had agnostics or freethinkers thus advertised their
services and advice Perhaps their religious con-
ytctions are stronger than their csthetic sense.

Quantity OF rdp cotton

The increase shown in the table OF
sgross value of output" is largely the
result Of the increase in the price of raw
cotton. Comparing the quantity Of
raw cotton imported with the value OF
the output, there has been since 1890 a
slight falling of in the purchase OF
material and slight increase in the net
value Of the product. The increase in the
gross value Of output is considerable.
This apparent discrepancy is accounted
fer by the spinning Of finer yarns and
the weaving Of finer cloth. The loss OF
trade, or rather the failure to maintain
tho earlier rate Of increase, Is attributed
TO home manufacture in lands where q
protective tariff stimulates domestic
production and bars out the English
goods. In neutral markets England
has thus far fairly held her own, but

CURED At SHRINE.
Wonderful Miracle Performed Before
1000 People at kankakee,

Kankakee, Aug. S.-NNhile praying
before the shrine of st. Anne at the
novena held near this place, little Lu-
cile Walsh, aged 6 years, of Dubuque,
who has been helpless cripple for
three years, was made. to walk The
miracle was wrought before the eyes
of 1000 people, and the child, arising
after her simple prayer, took the first
step in all the weary years of her af-
fiction, and walked to the white-faced
mother who awaited her.
The cure is said to be the most nota-
BILE Of the aids to the afflicted on this
years pilgrimage, and is similar to the
case of Matilda Guinea, of the Calu-
met bank. South Chicago, who was
cured of lameness last year at the no.
vena
Miss Guinea led the line Of sufferers,
which wended its painful way to the
church. 1t was at the end of the nine
days Of prayer preceding the feast Of
st. Anne. Many walked with the aid of
crutches. others were wheeled in
chairs. little children who had been
afflicted since birth were carried in
their parents arms.
The noyena. in the Roman Catholic
church. is a devotional consisting of
prayers said during nine consecutive
days for the purpose Of obtaining. thru
the intercession Of the Virgin, or OF
the parti. ular saint to whom the pray
ers were addressed, some special
blessing or mercy. 1t is also known
by the French term. "neuVaine.''

Their diplomacy is as flexible as their
military tactics. 1t will be found that
on each point as 1t arises they have a
considered opinion Whether the Rus
SLAMS acquiesce is another matter. on
one thing the Russians and Japanese
seem to be of one mind: the conference
is not to dissolve on technicalities.
always, assuming the Russians
have powers which the Japanese can
regard as promise of real negotia-
lions, the conference will enter upon
the work OF both sides with desire
to find a peaceful solution. Neither
regards peace as necessary, but both
regard it as desirable. Both think they
owe something to the president If for
no other reason than as recognition
Of his efforts. his unbounded good Will
to both powers, and his position as the
agent of civilization, and they VIII
shrink from an abrupt conclusion"

Suggestions for Federal Supervision
OF Insurance.

Omaha. Aug. 7.-Ralph w. Breckin-
ridge of Omaha, chairman of the COM
mittee on insurance of the American
Bar Association, has completed the re-
port of that committee which is to De
presented to the annual convention at
Narragansett Pier, which will be held
August 90 to %.
The report makes five specific rec
concentrations, as follows:
/. Legislation by congress for the
supervision Of insurance.
9. The repeal of all valued policy
laws.
3. A uniform fire policy, the term of
which shall be specifically named.
a.. The repeal of all retaliatolv
laws.
5. Stricter Incorporation laws in the
several states as they affect the crea-
ton of insurance companies; and
federal statute prohibiting the use of
the mails to all persons, associations
or. corporations transacting the BUSH
ness ofinsurance In disregard of s1te
or federal regulations.
President Roosevelt is quoted as
having said to the committee that he is
very uluCH III lsNOT VI AeuSl III ouPSA :
vision reinsurance.
The committee would require reports
to governmental department showing
the amount of money collected, for
what purposes used; showing honest
management and the projection of poll
icyholders.
w. r. Vance of irginia, a member OF
the committee, is expected to present
minority report, in which he will diff
fer with the committee, not on its gem
eral findings, but on the proposition
that there is no constitutional OBJ
stacles existing to the Inauguration OF
federal supervision of the Insurance
business.
Wildcat insurance companies are
strongly criticised and the report says

Gustaf klooge, Sioux City, Says He Is
Dead and Wants Coffin.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Aug. s,-Strutting
around and informing everybody that
he is dead, Gustaf Klooge, a German
carpenter OF this city, who became
dementei yesterday, is wholly unable
to understand why he hasn't been pro-
vided with casket for which he be-
came so insistent in his demands that
his relatives, who had taken him from
the police station once, hastily re-
turned him. Klooge believes he is a
corpse and keeps repeating; Tn go
In now to get the coffin; I'm a dead
man"
Klooge began acting queerly yester-
day forenoon when instead of open
ing his tool chest with key he car
red in his pocket, he unscrewed the
hinges of the box and removed the
lid. He wanted to know when he
reached police headquarters when he
was going to die.
Someone told him he would probably
pass away about sunset.
At sunset Klooge, at least so far as
his mind was concerned, died. Natur-
ally he became calm and when his

Sure" said Pierce.
So Klooge submitted without trouble
to being loaded into the patrol wager
and was carted to the county jail
where he will be given an examination
before the county board OF insanity
The unfortunate mans relatives be-
lieve he will soon recover, for prior
to yesterday he had never shown
symptoms of insanity. He is sober
hard working young man.
Are you German?" asked Klooge
when being examined by the commits

addressed to Colonel Davis.
