An Internal machine was discovered yes
terday in the hold of the steamship Eagle
Point as.~the vessel lay in the Delaware
river at the Philadelphia and Reading rail-

The steamer City of Selkirk arrived Tues
day night at Selkirk, Manitoba, from the
north end of Lake Winnipeg and reported
that the steamer Princess. with sixteen
hands on board ran into rock near
Swampy Island Sunday night and six of
the crew were drowned.

two Icelanders.' Only one body was re-

evening with large load Of fish and it Is
supposed she was too heavily laden and
being strained by a storm she broke in
two. The crew Of the City of Selkirk says
It is wonderful how the other ten persons
on board escaped with their lives, as the
storm was the worst of the season.

Still the Primary Law is not satis-
factory. The trouble is to maks the cleo
tions express the real voice OF the party.
Smart politicians have been stuffing
the Republican primaries with Demo-
cratic votes and the Democratic pri-
maries with Republican. The Illinois
law tries to prevent this. but 1t is at

that 1t makes a man reveal his political
affiliations and greatly discourages inde-
pendent voting. OF course, q man is
not at all obliged to vote on election
day as he did in the primary, but he
ought to be allowed the greatest free
dom at all times in casting his vote. In
Chicago he is required to swear that he
has not voted or petitioned against the
party within a year. 1t is claimed that
this is necessary to prevent the oppo-
sition party from palming of weak or
otherwise undesirable candidates on the
other party.

DEATH OF GEN. sIINTY,

Brevet Maj.-Gen. Robert II. G. Minty
died at Jerome. Ariz., Aug. Is. and the
city went into mourning for one of its
most valued and respected citizens. He
had been suffering for several weeks
from a severe attack of inflammatory
rheumatism, but was seemingly recoy-
ering when pains in the abdomen seized
him and he soon passed away. Gen.
Minty was born in Ireland rs years ago,
but came to this country when quite
young, and at the outbreak of the war
entered the army as Major in the I'd
Mich. Cav. He showed unusual talents
as soldier; was rapidly prom oted; be-
came Lieutenant-Colonel of the Sc
Mich. Cav, then Colonel Of the 4tt
Mich. Cav. and commander of a bri-
gade. He made this brigade, which
Gen. Thomas officially designated as the
Saber Brigade, one of the finest cavalry
organizations ever seen on the field oi

Canada has a queer outbreak Of the
inevitable race prejudice. It is against
the Hindus. who are pouring into
British Columbia in great mum
bors. Many Of them Rave served
in the British army, and yet they are
scarcely more acceptable to the Cana
dians, who are clamoring for Hindu
exclusion law. There comes in one OF
the troubles Of Imperialism. The Hin
dus are just az much British subjects
as the Canadians, and 1t does not look
as if the people of one British colony
can shut their doors against those Of
another colony. 1t is true that the DIFF
ferent British colonies discriminate
against one another in the matter OF
citizenship and naturalization. A citi-
zen of Australia is an alien in Canada,
and vice versa. A British citizen-that
is, an Englishman, Welshman, Scotch
man or an Irishman, is, on the other
hand, full citizen Of any colony to
which he may migrate.

Congressman Sydney E. Mudd. of
Maryland. has no end of troubles in re-
tanning his seat in Congress. AS Re-
publican he was the bright shining
mark for years of the German faction,
which exhausted every trick and device
in trying to win away enough votes to
defeat him. This is saying a good deal,
because the Gormantes were past
masters Of political trickery, and the
things they did not know and do were
simply not worth while. But they
more than met their match in Mudd.

Senator Bailey has now to take the
rostrum and explain. It appears.
lucky fellow. that he has received a
fee of s225,000. This must make the
mouths Of all the other Texas lawyers
water painfully, for It is the first time
that ever a fee of that size-haf that
size, or even a quarter of twas heard
of in the Lone Star State. To them.
and to a great many Texans the fee
seemed rotten" at sight, and could
only mean sale of Bailey's official in
fluence. John H. Kirby. President of
the Kirby Lumber Company, comes to
Baileys defense with the statement
that he paid the fee, and considered
1t very reasonable one. for Bailey's
services as a lawyer in rescuing his
property-worth some 100000 from
his opponents, and managing its sale.
Bailey was selected because of his
standing as a lawyer and his familiarity
with Texas laws and court practices.
A New York lawyer would have charged
much more and not done so well.
Senator Bailey's opponents smile a
scornful incredulity at this explanation,
and are preparing to trot out the ven
erable Roger O. Mills to beat Bailey
for reelection.

1LL-rREArMENr OF SALONS.

There has been much just complaint
Of recent months over the treatment of
United States sailors at Portland and
elsewhere. This was so pronounced at
Portland that Admiral Robley D. Evans
made public mention OF the fact and
wrote an indignant letter to the Mayor.
The Mayor at first denied the fact. but
afterwards admitted It and regretted
it very much. He invited the fleet to
come back and promised that the hos
pitality then would make amends for
any former lack. Chief Yeoman II. j.
Buenzie, of the naval training station
at Newport, r. l., has brought suit
against the Newport Amusement Co.,
on account of having been refused ad-
mission to a dance hall while in uni
form. It is understood that the Navy
Department is behind the action and
that the expenses of the suit will be paid
by contributions partly from the Navy
for $500 each We're brought against the
proprietors of resort at Cleveland, o.,
by two sailors Of the training ship VOL
VERNE. IT Is difficult to understand
the reason of this discrimination
against sailors wearing uniform. Un-
doubtedly in the olden times It was a
necessary measure of precaution. 1t
used to be that sailor on shore leave
was expected to get drunk and have a
fight before he came back. That was
part of the unwritten law of the fo'cas-
tie and the Jackie who came back
"clean and sober" was mot the man
for Galway" Therefore, 1t was only
in the direction of peace and order that
sailors in uniform were excluded from
places of public amusement, since it
the sailors Of another ship or another
country or some other reason for start
ing first-class row in which the furni-
ture and fixtures of the place were liable
to come out in a very damaged condi-
ton. All this has radically changed in
of the Regular Army. The men who
compose the crews Of the ships are as
orderly and self-respecting as any class
OF men in the country. The renown of
the American Navy and the opportuni-
ties it gives to travel and see foreign
countries have attracted to it fine class
of young men from good homes, and
who when on shore leave are earnestly
and intelligently studying the countries
and places they visit. There is abso-
lutely no reason for their exclusion, and
such a thing Is an unendurable slight
to the uniform they wear. The Navy
Department is taking a very proper
course in backing up it's enlisted men in
their suits against the keepers of amuse-
ment places. The United States uni
form, whether worn by soldier or a
sailor. should be welcomed wherever
the wearer chooses to go.

A new and not bad idea has been
adopted by the Common Council OF
Fon du Lar. Wis. 1t orders that the
pictures OF habitual inebriates shall be
posted in the saloons. SO that the bar
tenders will recognize these men and
turn them down when they apply for
a drink. If this is not done. the bar.
tenders will be prosecuted. This opens
up an endless chain of possibilities
Imagine the lively time that will be had
in getting the pictures of the confirmed

ers and the hopeless ones. There is {
chance for no end of fun and at thu

Ex-senator James K. Jones. OF Ar

against Mr.. Bryan's public ownership
of railroads, and is urging him to drop

forcement of the laws now in force, es-
pecially the new rate law. This comes
as surprise to those who are familiar
with Senator Jones's great friendship
and devotion to Mr.. Bryan, and it is
thought may shake Mr.. Bryan in his
advocacy of this new hobby, since 1t in

has relied will follow Senator Jones in

time of 1t before he is found out. and a

But does that put the money back into
the pockets of the poor people from
whom he has stolen it? There is where
our laws and judicial processes fail la
mentally. The action of the Receiver
of the looted Philadelphia Real Estate
Trust Company in following up the
stolen money into other hands gives a
glimmer of hope. May be that points
to an additional safeguard for peoples
