CONGRESS AT ROME.
Foreign Minister Tittoni President of
 Agrfculturfsts.

Rome. May 29.-Richard Bey, the Turkish Ambassador and dean of the diplomatic corps, proposed a vote of thanks to King Victor Emmanuel to- day, with the request that the delegates appoint Foreign Minister Tittoni Pres ident of the Agricultural Congress This was carried unanimously and on the proposition of Signor Tittoni all the Ambassadors were appointed Vice. Presidents.
 Minister Tittoni, in returning thanks for his appointment, said the Italian Government, in convoking the con- gress, put no limits on It's deliberations, but merely pointed out the subjects to be discussed. abstaining from hinting at their solution, so as to leave the congress full liberty of action. Thero was no doubt, notwithstanding differ ences of opinion as to the means, that they were unanimous in wishing to accomplish the undertaking initiated by the King. An international cham Der of agriculture, even if modest organization at the beginning, would have solid basis and would grow fast.
 Signor Tittonfs remarks were much applauded and at their conclusion he was warmly congratulated. The con- gress then adjourned until Tuesday, when the discussion of the Kings prop osition will begin.

NOrIoIk NlrglnIan- Pilot.
 A number of brethren of the North seem to be more or less concerne ed about the future of the South. They, along with certain citizens of this sec ton of the country, never lose an op- portunity to enlarge upon the prospect that the South offers to the other sec tions of the country and also to elim- mate the shortcomings from which the South suffers.
 All of this is very sweet and thought ful of the orators who exercise their lungs. While we are not disposed to cast aspersions upon these efforts we do want to say that the future of the South will take care of itself without the aid of vicarioUs e1oquence. The truth of 1t is that the. South is today the coming section of the country. Its prospects are far and away brighter than those of any part of a phenome- nally prosperous nation. It has the re- sources and climate and will to make of itself the garden spot of the Union. All 1t lacks is capital, and that 1t has gradually accumulated since the war until it has now reached point Tn which it is in a position to develop It's own resources. Capital from the North will always be wecome. The South has outgrown whatever of bit- terness the war may have left and is prepared to receive any man who comes either with money or with merit. But we do not mind saying, with due em- phasis, that there need be no worrying about the future of this neck of the woods.

SPAN THE OCEAN VOID.
In Wireless Touch in Mld-Ocean With
 Two Continents.
New York Special.

New York Special.
 Another record in Marconi wireless telegraphy was established by. the Cunarder Campania, which arrivedsahis morning. For three days in midocean the ship was continuously in communi- cation with both the Eastern and Vest have continued the double communica- ton longer. She was 1,616 miles east of Sandy Hook, May 23. and at the same time 1910 miles west of the Lizard. but messages, news and business communi- cations from both Poldhu Station, on the coast of Cornwall, and the. Cape Cod Station. This was not only the situation on the 2Sd. but also on two other days.
 None of the Cunarders, all of which power receiving or taking apparatus, is as yet furnished with long distance sending apparatus, the installment of which on each ship, MT. Marconi says. would involve an expense of more than S25, 900, so that while the Campania took messages she could not send after she was out of reach of Poldhu until she was within reach of Siasconset.
 In these situations her short distance installation and operators do the busi- ness with so-called local stations. She has two sets of operators, one for the long distance work and the other for the local business.
 This is not the first time the double feat has been, accomplished, but 1t is the first occasion on which 1t has been so long continued at such a great dis tance. The Lucania on her last trip and also the Etruria arriving last Sat- urday. received messages at 1,700 miles and more from Poldhu. when they could just as well have taken them from Cape Cod.
 The last trip of the Campania, as disclosed by a perusal of her daily, tho Cunard Bulletin, shows 1t to have been distinctively a wireless voyage" Her news dispatches were more complete than in many newspapers publishe ed ashore. She was in receipt Tuesday, May 23 of news from Poldhu, SIT miles distant and also from Cape Cod, 1900 miles distant, which was a record dis tance.
 The Cunard Bulletin again published Wednesday, May 24th, news dispatches from both Poldhu and Cape Cod, the ship being at that time 1,616 miles from New York. The newspaper had the col lision of the Third Avenue l.. the clos ing of the Merchants Trust Deposit Company and the American Ambassa- dor's official farewell
 On the next day May 25, news was taken simultaneously from both conti- nents. the ships position being 1,0S5 miles from New York and 2,0S0 miles from Liverpool, the greatest distance fin the history of wireless telegraphy that news communication ever have been flashed at sea.

TnoUnLE AHEAD.

Secretary Taft now admits that the deficit is real. that 1t is growing and that it will continue to grow un- less something is done, and he ar- gues that there are but two remedies. Che Is to increase internal revenue taxes and the other is to revise the tariff on imports so as to increase the revenue from that source. He re- fuses even to think of cutting down expenses, though that is an alterna- tive that would naturally present it. self to any but the high tariff wor- shippers. The government expendi- lures could be reduced in a great many ways but the administration will have none of that. It proposes to keep up the pace," if 1t bankrupts the whole country. In many ways the expenses of the government knight be reduced without harm to it. or without injury to any legitimate in- terests, but there Is little hope that the administration wil agree to it. This is the day of big things. iinclud- ing sticks, and we have no expec- tation of any movement that would look like skimpiness. That is mot the way of the President or his party.
 As this plan for reducing the deficit need hardly be considered at all, there are only two left, and one of them can hardly commend itself to the pulp lie or to conservative men of either party. That plan looks to the re-in- statement of the war tax. for that is what 1t will amount to. To levy additional duties on domestic articles, and to increase the internal revenue taxes on articles and products that are already taxed, is a means of rais- ing revenue that Will not be at all popular with the people and we do not believe that the government will venture on 1t except as a last re- sort Such a course woulE not add to the strength of the administration or it's party.
 There remains then only the alter native of revising the tartff and that, too, presents many difficulties. Even if 1t Is possible for the President to convert the "stand-patters'' to his way of thinking, and to bring majority of them to favor revision. only a be- ginning has been made towards solution. The many and diverse in terests to be considered will be the source of constant disagfeements and squabbles. Even if that can be got ten over the important consideration will be to frame tariff system which will raise more revenue and at the same time not be objectionable to the advocates of protection. Any tariff which will reduce revenues and in- crease the deficit would be fatal to the Republican party. and any system which will add still more to the bur dens of the people and still further build up the trusts will certainly not add to the party's srength or popu- Iarity with the country. In short. as we look at it. there are three horns to this dilemma and neither offers a pleasant resting place for Republi- cans. We wish thtem joy for their job.

A SETBACK FOR THE pALE-FAcE.


 A recent decision or the Federal Court of Claims will cause a kind of all-gone feeling in the breasts of cer- tain citizens of the Cherokee Nation. As is, or should be, well known, the Cherokees are among the wealthiest people in the Union, their wealth con- sisting of land allotments and funds which have accumulated to the amount of millions of dollars.
 Now. these facts have induced many white men, to the number 1t is stated, of 2,5o0 or 5000, to go into the Ma ton and marry Cherokee girls. The attractions of the maidens themselves may have had something to do with these marriages, but 1t is certain that the prospect of sharing in the rich land and money allotments had an im- portant influence with the wife seek CTS. The decision of the court bars out all white men who have married Cherokee wives since November IS, 1877, from sharing in any of the allot- ments.
 On the date above given the Gen. eral Council of the Cherokee Nation passed an act declaring that white men who married Cherokee girls after that date should not participate in the division of the Indian property. The Court of Claims uphoids mat act, with slight change. It decides that in- termarried whites who married prior to that date shall share in the lands of the Cherokees but not in their vest ed funds. while those married since the date given shall not be entitled to a share in either lands or funds This is an important decision for the Indians and a discouraging one for the whites, as it is estimated that the lands and funds thus affected amount to something like seven million dol- lars. Although the General Council of tht Cherokees has passed out of exis- tence 1t was the legal law-making body of the Nation at the time the prohibitory act was passed and the court holds that the act was valid and remains in full force and effect AS before stated, there will probably be 3,0OO white men who will have their noses put out of joint by this decision. So much the better for the Cherokees, however.

LONGEVITY DE WHALES.

A Professor in the National Museum, speaking of the age of whales. says he is inclined to the .opinion that some of them live to an age in excess of forty years" The intimation con- veyed by that opinion will surprise most people. It has always been un- derstood that whales are the longest lived animals in existence. Even one thousand years has not been consid- cred an extravagant estimate for the time of their sojourn in the waters of the great deep. but this Professor says such estimates are fanciful.
 Of course no one can tell how long a whale lives. We can't tell by their teeth. as we do with horses, nor the ridges on their horns, nor the rattles on their tails. nor the rings in their bodies. nor by any other of the meth ods adopted to tell how old animals and trees get to be. So far as we are informed nobody has kept one in cap- tivity from infancy to death, and probably nobody but Methuselah could undertake job of the kind. Never- theless, the implication of this au- thority we have quoted that they may not live more than half century or such a matter is hardly reasonable. It is hardly possible that such a huge animal should not live far beyond the age of man. and no doubt a whale. if nothing occurs to shorten his exis- tence, will last for centuries. As we said. there is apparently no way to settle it. and we may as well give him a thousand years as fifty.
