The Anacostia Puzzle.

The street railway company's Offering as
a solution of the Anacostia bridge problem,
as described in the news columns today
Is at least certain to prevent the blockad-
ing of the entire line. According to this
plan whenever car is held at the north or
city end of the bridge by reason of the
refusal of the passengers to accommodate
themselves to the forty-limit rule adopted
by the Commissioners. that car will be
shifted to the other track by means of the
cross-over and. at the end of the interval
which would ordinarily elapse to enable it
to make the run from the plow pit to the
Anacostia terminal and back to the pit, will
be run into town on its regular schedule.
Those passengers who wish to proceed to
and beyond Anacostia will be given trans
fers and they can walk across the bridge,
with the assurance that they cannot get
another car until they reach the Congress
Heights terminus. Passengers who remain
on the blocked car will be carried back to
the city. for another fare. Similarly, if a
car coming into the city Is held at the south
end of the bridge because of an excess of
passengers, the conductor will proceed
forthwith across the bridge on foot and
notify the pitman at the north end, who
will hold the next south-bound car. what
ever its number of passengers, until either
IT'S SCHeuule time LOT is up, ~nen 1t
will be switched and returned to the city
or until the passengers the already
blocked car meet the case and permit 1t to
proceed. Otherwise the car stalled in Ana
costa would eventually hold back the full
equipment Of the road.
In this way there will no tie-ups af-
fecting the whole line. Passengers will
have to find some way of sacrificing them
selves. The company's officials do not seem
to be concerned as to how this Is done.
They have no power to evict individuals or
to choose those who are to leave the over
loaded cars. The Commissioners cannot
dictate a rule that would work for the
separation of the forty sheep from the over
forty goats. The police cannot lay hands
on an orderly passenger whose only Of
Tense is the fact that there are more than
thirtynine other passengers on the same
car And the bridge is undeniably too weak
to permit It's use by heavily loaded cars, or
for that matter by heavily loaded vehicles
of any kind.
The proposed plan will be based upon the
principle of meeting of the requirements
of the general public 1t will impose Il
hardship of course upon the south-going
passengers who are forced TO walk from
and on TO the Congress Heights terminus
but that is somewhat better than q COM
plete blockade of the whole line and in
fnitely better than broken bridge and a
tragedy.

Japan and the Philippines.

This is from the press report of an inter-
view in New York yesterday with Mr. Sato
OF the Japanese peace commission:
The question was put TO Mr. Sato as to
any poss bility of conflict with the United
States in the future, as suggested by some
Of The American press at the outbreak of
the war. and Mr.. Sato asked what could
bring about such conflict. When ii was
suggested that Japan might covet the Phii-
ippine Islands he laughed heartily and re-
Piled that Japan would not have the Phil
ipplnes as a gift, even though bonus ac-
cOmpanied the gift.
Mr. Sato's amusement, we may be sure,
was wholly unaffected. No more absurd
yarn was ever concocted and put In circu-
lation than that assembling to Japan the am
bition to control the Philippine Islands in
the circumstances that exist. 1t was prod
mt of the same fertile brain that pictured
J lpan as roaring bully. set wild by VIC
tories over Russia and well started on a
III! against creation. Sober-mlnded people
ST. this country laughed as heartily as MIR.
Sato now does at the preposterous propo-
sigion.
Japan could acquire the Philippines only
by conquest or by purchase. She has no
quarrel with us, seeks none, and one is not
li5ely accidentally TO come about. The
Philippines as a war stake therefore may
BE- put outside the pale of probabilities.
As for purchase the United States has
neither the power nor the disposition to
sen. 1t is true there people who advo-
cate a sale, and who would not be choice
O. TO u customer. Amy bid from any source
would be accepted by them. Their only
drought is of Withdrawing the stars and
stripes from the archipelago. Whether the
purchaser or the Filipinos profited by the
arrangement would cut no figure in their
calculations. And, strangely enough, they
are the very people who inveighed so loud
j. against what they characterized as the
purchase of the Filipinos by this govern
ment at so much a head. But they are
not numerous and they will never shape
the policy of this government in any mat
ter
Mr.. Sato and his associates of the peace
commission will soon learn much as they
care to know about the American attitude
toward the Philippines. We shall be In
the archipelago a long time. and. we hope.
ON terms of friendship with all the powers
having interests In that part of the world.
OF Japan's friendship we have not the
slightest doubt We rejoice in her success,
and harbor no fears as to what she will do

Senator Martins Tongue.

Some men are born orators some achieve
oratory. while some have oratory thrust
upon them. To the third class Senator
Thomas S. Martin of Virginia belongs.
Mr.. Martin is lawyer, and when at the
bar had what is called corporation prac-
tice This does not call for eloquence or
much speaking Of any kind. but for clear
lsadedness, industry and gumption. Mr..
Martin possessed those qualities, and en-
Jioyed them so well he won distinction in
his profession. So solid did he make him
self in the state that when he appeared for
the Senate he had strength enough 10 de-
feat Fitzhugh Lee. a popular hero who had
served term as governor.
Senator Martin pursued the course of
lawyer Martin. He drew little upon his
tongue, but much upon his industry and
gumptioh His reliance was not upon ora
tory. but upon attending to the business of
his constituents. He became known as
One of the silent senators. and his oppo-
Ierts at home referred 10 him as d depart
lacnt runner" He was so busy attending
t. Virginia affairs n Congress and before
Tle departments that he found no time for
Speech-making.
And so it was that when Mr.. Martin en-
tered the present campaign for recollection
and was challenged by rousing orator
like GOV Montague some people jumped
L. the conclusion that defeat for him was
Inevitable. How could a silent man sue
coed against fluent and an eloquent one
IL state where oratory had won 50 many
lJical prizes?
But Mr.. Martin has at last found his
Voice, and to his own and the general sur
prise can make very interesting speech
Twitted so long about his silence and
goaded by the Montague following. he
NSutured upon the platform few weeks
ago in the eloquent governors comp my,
and in a joint debate with his rival gave
an account of himself which was wholly
satisfactory to his friends. And now there
il a demand for other meetings, with Mr.
Martin in good packing form and unafraid
There is no promise from the reports that

A Favorite Author.

There's an author who fills me with yearn
ing
His fictions deftly devised
Far dearer than volumes of learning
Or books of adventure are priced.
When the city is gassy and steaming
And the climate is torrid and queer,
| read all his fancful dreaming,
The summer resort pamphleteer.
How the n-jeweled waves seem to glitter
AS the cool breeZes drive them along.
How the birds gayly MARBLE, or twitter
AS the trees softly join in the songl
For nature has dealt with great lenience
With this spot where they ask you t
dwell;
tbs provided with every convenience,
Including a modern hotel
And when of the seaside you weary.
Why. here Is a book on the lakes.
Or a nook in the mountains so CHEEKY;
Twill Danish all sorrow and aches.
With fan grateful breeZes compelling,
And glass where the ice tinkles clear,
l read in my snug city dwelling

Chinese immigration.

1t appears that in June 81 Cinnamon ap-

300 passed the gates. Does that look like
injustice to the Chinese? Do we not all
know that there is constant effort to evade
the law and introduce coolies under the
guise OF merchants and students? Nothing
is more certain than that a thorough in
vestigation would show that the law has
been administered not against China but
against this country: that the officers have
not been as vigilant as they should. Where

Money Madness.
From the Chicago Chronicle.


1t Is great mistake to suppose that every
rich man is money mad for many rich men
money sick, and it Is a still greater mis-
take to suppose that the only money-mad
people in the world are rich people. A man
who Is poor but bent on becoming rich is
much more likely to be money mad than a
man who has an independent fortune, only
he shows II in different way. man of
large fortune who Is money mad shows ii
by his continued activity in moneymaking.
The poor man who is money mad shows it
by envying and hating those who are more
successful

There is more dust in the places II.
iumlnated by the suns rays than in
those which we call shady.
If you look along beam of light "a
1t streams through window or chink
IN the door. you will see innumerable
dust particles dancing about in the
light. You will be told by most per-
sons that there Is just as much dust in
the nonilluminated parts Of the room
as in the more favored spaces, but you
cannot see the particles because the
rays do not fall directly upon them.
You will think that this is eminently
plausible, but it is not the case.
The sun falling upon the air creates
irregular currents. and these currents
stir up the dust and collect it in lay
ers along the line Of light; hence there
Is more dust where the sun shineN than
elsewhere.
A curious experience in a museum
gave proof of this. 1t was noticed that
there was always more dust on the
glass cases exposed to the sunbeams
than on those which were never touch
ed by the rays of the great orb. and
this led to an inquiry, with the above
result.
1t will generally be found that it
takes longer to clean the sunny parts
of large room than it does to wipe
up the dust particles from the shady
hooks.
