The Northwest Passage.

The dream of daring navigators
for more than three centuries has
been realized in the complet on al
last of the north vest passage.
Capt. Roand Amund>on has
achieved the distinction of being the
first man in the history of the world
to navigate the Arctic region from
Davis strait to Bering strait and
thus to assert the mastery of man
over long defiant nature.
It has long since became certain
that a northwest passage would be
useless for commercial purposes be-
cause it would be practically un
navigable But explorations have
continued for reasons of sentiment
and science.
1t is reported that Capt Amund-
sen has positively located the mag
netic pole on King William island,
and his observations may enablt
scientific ruen to clear up some
obscure electric and magnetic
phenomena which long have puzz ed
them.
These gains fall very short OF
what was once expected of the
northwest passage.
Many generations looked upon it
as the pathway to gold, and IN
counted human skeletons are the
only monuments to the daring men
80 sought it.
The American continent t, for the
first cen turtles after it's discovery
was regarded by Europeans as d
hugh obstacle in d nearer way TO
the East Indies, But time has
proved that America is richer than
all the Indies, and world commerce
no longer seeks a way around the
continent. but to it.
The first great advance 10 the ex-
ploration of the northwest passaee
was made by John Davis, who dis
covered the strait named after him
in 1886. Adolf Erik Nordenskjold
went clear through in 1879, but net
with his ship.
Now that Capt. Amundsen has
at last realized the dream of cen
turies, perhaps it will be found that
this, like other dreams, is brighter
in the dreaming than in the reallza-
tion.-Milwaukee Journal.

Notes From Washington

form of the consular service is
one of the most urgent matters
| in the view CT the White House.
But of course the rate bill comes
first as touching a greater num-
Der of people at home. Now
whatever rate legislation is pass
e l at the present session is sure
to meet with a whole lot of criti-
cism, AS matters stand now
with rate legislation forced upon
Congress against the will OF
many influential leaders, a COM
promise bill viii in all probabil-
ity be the outcome. It will be
noticed by those who have taken
the trouble to follow the case
carefully, that the President has
not mmitted himself to d
measure but to principle. He
las not set the seal of his ap-
prevail on any particular bill. but
be has in his speeches laid down
the broad proposition that the
railways. are the highways of
this country, and they are not
and cannot be considered as pri-
vate property. They are too
essential to the wellbeing of the
people for the federal govern
ment not to have them under
strict control. This is the view
that the railways have steadily
com batted. To once conceed
the point would ultimately lay
them open to real control. And
THIS is the thing they will avoid
at any price. Now if the Presi-
dent succeeds in the present
struggle in esta blishing this one
point and that point is upheld by
the Supreme Court, to which it
undoubtedly will be carried, he
will have put in the wedge for
real federal supervision. 1t is a
| matter Of comparatively small
moment whether rate legislation
at this session is of sort that
will cure existing evils. Prob.
ably it will not be. But if it
establishes the point that the
J government has the right of
control over the railways as
something vital to the we'll being
I of the nation, then it will have
done all that can be reas )nably
expected of it. Extreme meas
ures cannot be taken at a leap
without causing alarm. But
with the principle of govern
mental control once established,
it will be but a step toward
working that principle out into
effective legislation.
Tariff Legislation may not come
'ut DIT the present session. In
fact Speaker Cannon has given
it out very impressively that it
will not. But there is a little
paragraph in the lecture that he
read TO the ship subsidy people
which will make the standpatters
squirm. 1t was to the effect
that subsidies, unless they be
in enormous amount, cannot off
| set the advantage that foreign
builders enjoy in the possession
Iof cheaper building material.
Now as great part Of this cheap
material comes out of this cOun-
try from behind an unreasonably
high tariff wall, it begins to look
as though the President might
not be SO far wrong in his urgent
appeal for tariff revision. Pos
sibly Speaker Cannon did not
look at it just that way when he
made the argument, but the logic
| of the thing certainly puts him
in the same boat with the Presi-
dent.

About two weeks ago Donovan came Tn

and conferred with moneyed men for sew

years sighed to break into the sport. and
there was quickly rumor out that thew
were framing up some deal for the inya

Donovan disappeared for four dave

Firstly, the hitting of the New Yorks

secondly, their fielding was piebald. All
the Chicagos had to do was to take ad-
vantage of New York errors. and they took
full advantage. Every New York error re-
suited in run. Game and weather were
muggy. and the atmospheric conditions
