KING ON AMERICAN CRUISER.
Victor Emmanuel Boards the Minneap-

 Genoa Oct. 2S.-King Victor Elm manual, who is here to inaugurate the new harbor works. suddenly visited the bsrbor this morning, wishing to be in the center of the greatest activity of the country while the work was going on. The los ding and unloading and transportation of stone. etc. was at the height of activity when the king appea-tJ and found himself in the midst of 1000 workmen. who gave him a frantic1lly enthusiastic reception. The King said:
 This Is the greatest spectacle of en- ergy, discipline and activity that I have ever seen"
 The King shook hands with many persons along the route ard seeing the United States cruiser Min i ga polls in the harbor. he said to those present that he greatly appreciated the courtesy of the JTr States ,n sending the Minneapolis to participate in the fes- tiVities

MT. Morton and Arbor Day.

CHlCdBO 'CnTOnlCle.
 Grover Cleveland's presence is re- hinder of an interesting ceremony which is to take place in Nebraska City. MT. Cleveland is on his way to Nebraska City to be present at the un- yelling of a bronze statue of J. Sterl- ing Morton. a former member of hls cabinet and the founder of Arbor Day.
 J. Sterling Morton was one of the best men this country ever produced and contributed to its greatness in many ways. For instance. there were no abler refutations of the free silver error than his. Yet his chief claim on the gratitude of posterity will be not for his statesmanship, but for inaugu- rating a movement which has made and for a century to come will make two trees grow where one or none grew before.
 It would take a botanlst.. a woods man, a farmer. a carpenter. an artist and a poet to describe the beauty and the worth of single tree. Without trees there can be no agreeable land- scape, no beauty, no comfort, no homes and no civilization. Where the greed of man has stripped a country of it's forests the streams dry up, the crops die and human industry lam guishes In countries like Nebraska, where geologic cataclysms Instead of men committed these ravages, people cling to the banks of the streams, fringed with trees. as an infant clings to it's mothers breast.
 A man is destitute of sentiment who does not regard a tree somewhat as person and an aged and beautiful tree as an object of veneration. The de- struction of such a tree, particularly if 1t be associated with memories of bygone days, is enough to make any refined and noble nature say:
 Woodman. spare that tree
 Touch not single bow.
 In youth it sheltered me,
 And I'll protect 1t now.
 A man who has inherited vast wealth is apt to be prodigal and wasteful until he sees indications of what he never before suspected-that his fortune Is not actually inexhaustibIe. In the same way the American people were long possessed with the idea that the American forests were so YaAt that

Football and Prize Fighting

Brooklyn Eagle.
 The thing which is radically wrong with football is that it appeals to men and women who would not be seen at prize fight, an opportunity to gratify their instincts for brutality and for the mob spirit amid surroundings that are socially "correct" The college football game occupies precisely the same place in our life that the bull fight does in Spain, save only that the Spanish senorita, who goes out with her duenna to see a bull fight. does not have half the chance to see men pummeled to death that the American girl does when she pins on her college colors and makes herself charming for Ia Thanksgiving football game The colleges have encouraged this sort of thing for precisely the same reason that some men are anxious to manage prize fights-because there Is money in it. The receipts of the big games maintain college athletics and help to draw students. The college presidents wink at brutality for precisely the same reason that prize fight managers evade the law-for the sake of the gate receipts.

FRENCH rYEs OPENED.
Fraud of Colonial Imperfalism-A New
 Derarturs In French Policy.

Fraud of Colonial Imperfahtsm-A New
 Departure In French Policy.
 France is henceforth. we hear. to govern her over-sea possessions for the benefit of the inhabitants. So far. CO., lonial expansion has been for the pur- poss of creating outlets for pushing middle-class young men who bother ministers and for the benefit of char tered companies The last Brazza mission was sent out to bring to jus tice the monsters of cruelty which cer- tain white administrators had become.
 Queen Ranavalo is now indulged in a visit to France under tolerably good circumstances. She is treated with the kind courtesy due to a lady. stays at a pleasant enough family boarding house at St. Germain. is taken about to see sights pays visits. goes to the opera in motor. and can go without escort. She can receive a pastor. and his family and attend d Protestant service on Sum- days without provoking the ill-humor of her jailers. for she is still a prisoner of war! However. her pension has been raised from 30,0 francs to 50,000 francs out of the budget of Madagascar. the only colony that pays. I related when King Edward came here in state how rudely she had been packed back to Algeria on the day on which he ar- rived.
 Steps are being taken to regulate the status of the children of Frenchmen and Indo-Chinese lease- wives or con- gias. A proconsul of the Roman type has been broken for his acts of oppres- sion and peculation at Hue. I believe the Algerian Arabs are to have a bet ter time. They have been dealt with as pariah dogs through seventy years Their conquest has in time involved a cost of twenty milliards ($4,000, ,000, ,0o0,) The deficit of last year came to S6,- tn uArA killed and wounded in fight amounts to 300.000. There are not quite half a million French settlers, but nearly as many Italians and Spanish. The abor- igines amount to 4,650.000. They alone can flourish on the plateaux. or any, where else, save on the low green band along the coast
 This Government has awakened to the madness of that trans -Saharan railway scheme. It can now see that no race but the black can live in the terrfto- ries discovered by Brazza and Stanley To massacre negroes is to condemn Central Africa to destruction To sum up, the fraud of colonial imperialism as understood in Russia, in England. in Germany. and as it has been understood in France, is now patent here. It Is to the great horror of NJ. Clementel to fave reversed engines.
 This new and saiutary departure is popular. It accords with that sensi- bility which Is a distinctive feature of the French national character The iaid on Madagascar engineered by Ham otaux, the late Count Mouravieff, and Felix Faure was never popular. Ran- svalo's ladylike appearance, fine eyes. and gentle dignity have told in her favor. It would please the French to see her restored by an act of their gov ernment, and departing from France for her far-off island on the deck of a steamer bright with flowers. She is not at all African in color or features, but Javanese.

"spiraI,, Ra,lrond in Africa.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pall Mall Gazette.
 In the construction of the Amabele- Butterworth Railway. fin Cape Colony, unusual difficulties had to be sur mounted, and the result is, from an engineering point of view, one of the most remarkable railways in existence After passing through the Kei hills the line winds round another hill, and then, at a lower level. goes under it's own track This portion of the rail- way is known as the spiral" At am other point the line travels along the bank of the Mangulu river for two miles and then doubles back for a mile and half. so that after covering three and a half miles the train is really only a half mile to the good. This section is called the "zigzag," and with the spiral, Is unique in South Africa. All along the Kei heights the route is through cuttings or on embankments. Some idea of it's extra ordinary character may be formed from the statement that in eighteen miles the line falls, or rises, to the extent of 1860 feet.

they could not be impaired by any amount of wanton waste and destruc- tion. This day has passed and many parts of the Northern States. once cov- cred with apparently limitable forests, are now sounding the warning that waste must cease.
 The man who had the genius and the force of character to perceive that this reform was necessary and to inaugu- rate measures which would check it and give forestry an onward instead of a retroeressive movement was a genu- inc friend of humanity and deserves not only bronze statue but cloud- piercing monument erected by the hands of universal humanity.

Leaving the Paupers Behind.

NeW
 The Salvation Army has done so much work of unquestionable beneficence that we might hesitate to criticise unfavor- ably any of its plans for abating the evils of poverty, vice and crime. But General Booths latest proposal, if we understand it arights. certainly seems to be of a doubtful and worse than doubtful discretion. Briefly stated, the plan is to regard England as overpopu- lated and therefore to promote whole some emigration of the intelligent, healthy, industrious and efficient ele- ments of the population. leaving the ignorant, sick and helpless human der elicts behind. Now. of course, if there is to be any great emigration. those lands to which it is directed would pre- fer to have 1t of the character proposed But what would be the effect upon England of thus taking away the brawn and brain of the people?

Oct. 2s.-The German gov ernment is seemingly giving ospei governments to understand that oe. many is strong enough to mahe. and extend her position indepenoen.ly of other powers and therefore coi ,,a misunderstands against her or aIl- ances for her are not the primary e cerns of Germany policy.

Let us in future trouple ourselves less over islanders, iookihg neither to the right nor to the leIt or us, but go straight ahead. for our ann is to strengthen our economic and po- litical equipments and with them the self-trust that we alone. or in com many of friends who are honorable friends need not fear the whole world in arms"
 These stirring sentences have been telegraphed throughout Germany for reproduction in other newspapers.
 The Gzenzboten, a high class weekly review of Leipzig, says in depart ment of the periodical said to be writ ten by an official of the Foreign Office, that Prince von Buelow before exert ing German influence against M. Del casse, the former Foreign Minister of France, was determined to accept whatever consequences might follow, even war, because NJ. Delcasse's re- maining in power meant that Chauvin- ism had obtained the upper hand in French policy.
 Precisely what has happened to lead to the Emperor's speeches, and these and other declarations naturally are not subjects for authoritative explana- tion but they are probably due to Rus sia's resistance to certain German pro- posals.

FERRY BOATS TIED UP.
Firemen Refuse to Work without In-
 crease 0f Pay.


 New York, Oct. 2S.-The ferry boats of Staten Island experienced a complete tie-up today on account of n strike. The firemen cn four ferry boats struck and refused to work unless they re- oeived more pay. They said conditions on the new boats were intolerable and the limit of human endurance had been reached.
 Sixteen fremon were appointed last week, four men for each of the four boats, and three watches of eight hours for each boat. The pay was $7O month. Mary of the men appointed did not appear when the boats went into commission and those who did were obliged to work over time to keep the boats going.
 Superintendent Pollock at first refus- ed their demands. but when he saw a refusal would tie up the whole ferry seervice, he asked advice of the Dock Commissioner, Maurice Featherstone, The commissioner at once authorized a raise of s20 month and promised that on Monday the regular eight hour watch schedule would be followed. Tho first municipal ferry strike was set tied.

Population of south palsotn.

St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 The State census shows that the pop ulation of South Dakota &s becoming more and more Americanized with each recurring enumeration. In 1870 the foreignbo born population of the Terri tory was 317 per cent of the whole. In 1880 it was 34 per cent, and this per centage has shown a steady decline ever since that date, being 27.6 in 1890, 26 per cent in 1895. 22 per cent in 1900 and 19.7 per cent this year. While the State has gained 10 per cent in popula- tion in the last five years. but 1 per cent of this gain was from the for eignborn population. The returns show also that there are in the State 64.3S5 children years old and under. Of these 55,549 were born In the State. 1883 were born in other States and S49 were foreign born.
