The four covered practically the whole
front of the ledge save where Mir Jan
cleared little space on the level.
The sailor was standing now, with
the crowbar clinched in both hands.
The firing in the valley slackened and
died away. A Dyak face, grinning like
Japanese demon, appeared at the top
of the ladder nearest to Iris.

the bawling of the wounded, there
came through the air screaming, tear

speed, and before the sailor could be-

The native, in voice cracked with

Charles J. Bonaparte.

President Roosevelts selection of Mr.
Charles J. Bonaparte of Maryland to sue
coed Secretary Morton at the head of the
Navy Department is thoroughly charac-
teristic. The President has sought a
strong man and has found him. He looks
TO the individual rather than to his political
affiliations. Mr.. Bonaparte is dtstnctively
and pre-eminently known in Maryland
reformer, and as such has been more or
less out of touch with the regular party
organization in that state. But it is as
reformer that he has scored his greatest
successes and has gained his highest
repute
Mr.. Bonaparte has throughout his career
stood for clean politics, for municipal, state
and national honesty of administration. He
has fearlessly attacked institutions and
men whenever he has felt that the occasion
warranted. and has seemingly been indif-
ferent to the outcries of those opposed to
him and to the personal ridicule heaped
upon him. Working often with the demo
Gratis whenever he thought his own party
needed correction. he has gained the stand
ing Of an Independent. and yet the repub-
leans of the state recognized his eminent
ability when they placed his name on the
presidential electoral ticket last year.
ically arranged list he was the only repub-
Hcan elector chosen, in consequence of the
extraordinary election law now in force in
Maryland.
The new Secretary of the Navy will take
hold of an administration for which he has
no more peculiar training than the great
majority of his predecessors in that office
have had. 1t is, in truth, the rule that the
war and navy offices have been intrusted
to men of affairs quite apart from these
special branches of the government That
Is the necessity of the case. born of the
fact that the administrative head cannot
be himself sailor. There are large bus!-
ness interests to manage in this connec-
ton. What Is chiefly demanded of naval
Secretary is activity. integrity and legal
ability. He has to do with construction
work and with administrative affairs of
complex character. He is surrounded by
technical experts whose advice is supposed
to stand for the most thorough acquaint-
ance with the situation

MARYLAND in the Cabinet.

Without including Mr.. Bonaparte. Mary
land has supplied only two members of the
cabinet since the civil war These were
John =. J. Creswer, who served as Post
master General from March, 1859. to July,
1874, and James A. Gary, also Postmaster
General. who served from March, 1897 to
April, 1898. Before the war however
Maryland men were conspicuous in the cir
Gle of the presidential advisers. James Nc
Hei ry was Secretary of War from January,
1876. to May, 1900. Benjamin Stoddert was
Secretary of the Navy from May. 170S to
April. 1901. Robert Smith was Secretary
of the Navy from July, 1901, to March, 1900

office in the cabiret. William Pinkney was

The Public and the Car Lines

1t Is evident from the fact that the cour,
agreed TO postpone the City and Suburban
no-transfer order for ten days in order tn
examine more thoroughly the petition of the
citizens in behalf of a continuance of the
old privileges. that the view of the counsel
for the minority stockholders regarding the
petitioners was not shared by the deciding
power. ''Buttinskys." the attorneys for the
stockholders styled the patrons of the road.
This is MISUNDERSTOOD popular phrase.
1t signifies an intrusion into the affairs of

intended to ridicule the claim of the patrons

Russia's Gravest Peril.

There are three points of acute internal
tional interest just at present awaiting
development, all closely related to one an
other and to the question of peace. These
are: The state of mind of the Russian pop
ulace In the light of the total defeat of the
navy. the bearing of the seamen of Rojest-
venskys fleet before and during the battle
and the state of discipline in the Russian
army in the field. From all three points
come rumors of a grave nature. indicating.
If true. that there Is general crumbltng of
the Russian foundations. In the first place,
1t Is reported that with the realization of
the crushing defeat of Rojestvensky has
developed in Russia. to the extent that the
news is known, new and determined spirit
of revolt. Even former supporters of the
dynasty are clamoring for a change. Ad-
miral Alexieff's own organ. the Slovo, de-
clares that Russia has had calamites
enough. and calls for change of regime.
AS for the discipline on board the fleet,
II the reports that are drifting in from va
rious sources are to be believed. the worst
possible conditions prevailed on the ships
as they sailed to meet the japanese. 1t is
positively stated that the crews of the YES
sells of Niebogatoff's squadron mutinied
during the fight. The testimony of Rus
SldU naval officers WHO nave TedCneu ' Id
divostok points in this direction and indi-
Gates a suen spirit among the Russian
sailors 1t is known that they were drafted
for the service. and that they went forth
upon their long and hopeless journey in a
state bordering upon revolt Here is a
clue to the general sentiment among the
people of Russia regarding the war.
But most important of all Is the report
from ST. Petersburg to Chicago news
paper that General Linevtch has reported
10 the car that the spread of the news
of the sea fight through the ranks of his
army has caused an open revolt against
further fighting. If this is true. Russia Is
indeed at the end of her resources. II
Japan was able to press onward and still
onward in series of land engagements
against a supposedly loyal army. there can
be no hope of resisting the mikado's men
If the Russian ranks are Neakened by in
subordination and despair.
The cables continue to accumulate evil
dence that the main problem before the
car and his advisers today is not by what
means the war may be continued. but by
what means the present regime may be
saved from disaster. 1t is no longer
question of whipping Japan. but of saving
the empire. Victorious and aggressive
though the Jap Is today, he is not so men,
ncing an enemy of the Romanoff dynasty
as is the Russian subject.
