Fish Stories Coming In.

Summer Is herei There have been several
btts OF testimony to this effect There have
been heard the crack of the base ball bat
(though all the hits have not been as
timely or for many sacks as might be
wished; the imprecations on the umpire
and the warwhoop of the rooter. Some days
have been so warm that memory holds the
blizzards of last winter in fond embrace
The trees have modestly put on gowns of
green and the girls are wearing coats of
tan The air is full of vacation plans. All
this is evidence that summer Is among us.
Out 1t Is not proof. The real proof of
summer lies in the yarns of fishermen
When these returns begin to come in there
Is no immediate danger of frost And these
returns are coming in.
Notable among these arrivals is one that
tells of the sacrifice of a monster fish called
the killer" The headline on the story
is: 'Finny Giant That Swallows Live
Seals Has Been Captured" After being
gated the fish made a fight by deluging
its captors with hogsheads of water which
it sent over the boat with single move
ment of its strange fins To land the
fish required the combined efforts of a
score of men and a heavy spar and tackle
The fish is thus described:
"In shape the fish is unlike any other
fish. Its head and body are almost square
and as large as the body of a bull. Small
fins resemble ears. Its mouth Is cavernaus
and lined with teeth. The body fattens at
the rear into huge gray feshy fms. and a
fat, thick tail I'm. resembling the ear of an
elephant. The blubber is soft and pure
white. The feil lives seals, aud Is said

Justice McComas.

Thl appointment of ex-senator McComas
to the Court OF Appeals brings back into
the judicial service of the District a we'll
known and highly respected personality.
Judge McComas has for many years been
su thoroughly identified with the District of
Columbia and its interests that it is neither
necessary for the people here to become ac-
quainted with him nor for him to be told
of the Districts hopes and needs AS a
member of the House of Representatives.
Mr.. McComas was a consistent and effect
i've friend of the national capital; as judge
on the local bench he was Woodworking.
clear-headed and popular; as Il senator he
could be counted on 70 work, vote and plan
for the best interests OF this city, and now
again as a wearer OF the District ernine.
with more mature judgment and wider ex-
perience, it is safe to predict useful and
brilliant judicial service for the new men,
Der of the Court OF Appeals During his
former service Judge McComas was prob
ably popular with the bench and bar as
any man who ever presided over a local
court. The only criticism ever made Of
him was his leaving the bench to go TO the
Senate and now that he has returned to his
old love. for the balance Of his life the only
possible mark against him disappears.

Bones in the Slocum.

The Slocum disaster haints the world
1t seems difficult to escape the memory of
that horror-boat. Bones OF more victims
nave been found in the sand in the hold OF
the unhappy craft. The discovery was not
made when the wreck was raised from the
bottom of the East river; it was not made
when the hulk was towed from New York
to Camden; it was not made when what
remains of the General Slocum was lowed
from Camden to Perth Amboy The dis
covery was made by accident by a citizen
who had no connection with the boat. He
found human bones protruding from the
sand in the bottom of the hull and said the
sand. which was several feet deep. ap-
peared not TO have been disturbed; that is.
that no efficient search for the remains of
victims had been made when the wreck
was raised.
1t is more than a year since over a thou
sand persons. mostly women and children,
died on the Slocum- Seven indictments
were returned against seven men asso-
ciated In the management of the boat, but
nobody has been convicted. Yet the life
preservers would not preserve the pumps
would not work. the fire hose was rotten
and everything else seems to have been
defective.

The announcement that the German gov

eligible sites in Washington upon which it
will erect Il suitable building for the use of
its embassy ought to have some effect upon
public sentiment in this country. Rather
let us say, effect upon Congress, for we

Its ambassador may have his proper social

Kitchener in India.

In the matter of improved military pro-
lection for India the British government

and Lord Kitchener in favor of the latter.

and decorated for many successes in the

The nations have been waking up about
their fighting establishments. We had a
rude reminder In our little brush with
Spain of how cobwebs accumulate. Luckily
for US. our antagonist was In an even worse
condition. Great Britain was Mortified by
the discovery that few thousand Beers

for months against all the forces she could
dispatch to the scene. There were times
when her humiliation was extreme and it
looked as IL she might have to sign terms

toward which she felt a sort of contempt
struck her full between the eyes and re-
vealed how little there had been to fear

Now there is everywhere a call for in

Virginia.

According to report, the republicans of
Virginia are preparing to give their oppo-
nents a vigorous tussle this year for con-
troll. Their hopes. told, based
upon the elimination of the negro as a po-
litical factor and upon the bad feeling
which, 1t Is expected, will follow in the
democratic ranks the bitter personal con-
tests for nominations now in progress. II

bring men into the republican fold who
heretofore have Stunned 1t. ....---
The republican program, as outlined. Is
to invite into the state speakers of national
reputation, and have them address the peo-
pie upon national issues and the Importance
to the south of republican national policies.
Such a campaign should at least prove In
teresting, and as this is an off year in poll
tiles 1t ought not to be difficult to secure
number of speakers who. by reason of
their fame and ability, should draw large
crowds where voters are partial to stump
oratory. Why should not the leading re-
publican campaigners of the east and the
west anu the middle states respond to In
vitations from their brethren in the Old Do
minfon and go to the rescue with their best
specimens of argument and eloquence?
Is there good ground for the hope the re-
publicans entertain? If they carry out
their plan of campaign is success in No
vember likely? One can recall other ex-
pectations quite as lively and founded as
these now are. but which came to nothing.
In the last fifteen years democratic dis
ruptfon has been predicted in at least half
dozen southern states as the result OF
factional strife and the dsfranchisement of
the negroes. but not one of the predictions
was fulfilled. The bitterness engendered by
the contests at the primaries all disappear
ed before election day. while the proud
hosts which were to come troopng out OF
the democratic party now that the negro
no longer made the republican party I'M
popular failed to materialize After "the
tumult and the shouting" died, there still
stood the ancient spectacle of demo-
cratic majority as large as the party or
ganiZation desired
The Virginia democracy is probably not
today in any danger. but, even with this
the case. it behooyes the republicans to
make a warm campaign with their best
men and on issues of commanding moment.
