Ball Fighting and Football.

tFrom the Louisville Courier Journal
There will be good deal said in the
American newspapers in depreciation
OF the bull fight at Algeciras. Unfor-
tunately just at this time President
Eliot, of Harvard University, has gone
into print with the observation that
AS spectacle, for persons who know
what the game really is, football is
more brutalizing than prize fighting,
cock fighting or bull fighting" The
Spaniards will read this, no doubt,
with great interest.

Valencia wreck Starts Agitation for
Lilo Saving station.

Lie Saving station.
New York, Feb. 14s---It lie likely that
the federal government will erect a.
life saving station at the entrance Of
the Straits e San Juan de Fuca. which
lead into Puget sound, AZ q result of
the wreck OF the Pacific Coast Steam
ship compAny's liner Valencia on the
rocky west coast Of Vancouver island
few days ago. Samuel Henry Piles,
the new senator from Washington,
has introduced q resolution to that eff
feet in congress and the ofiicials Of
the Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany, whose main ONCE is at No. 10
Wall street, are exerting every in
fluence to bring about Its passage.
]. s. Ford, the vice-president of the
company, said yesterday that his COM
pany would not rest until this danger
spot had been made the home ofaa
fully trained and completely equipped
crew Of government life savers! He
said, also, that pressure would be
brought to bear on the Canadian gov
eminent looking. to protection of the
same sort on the dangerous shore of
Vancouver island. Mr.. Ford added:
while the officers Of the Pacific
Coast Steamship company feel keenly
the terrible loss of life on the Valen-
cha, we are certain that the disaster
was due to no negligence on the part
Of the company. Our own inspections
proved the steamer staunch in every
way, and rigid inspections by United
States officials supported US. Every
requirement in the way of life saving
apparatus was met. Most of the life
preservers were changed from cork
to tule shortly before the fatal trip,
when we discovered that the tule pre-
servers were better.
We feel that Captain johnson was
good, competent commander, and
that, even II he had lived, he could not
have, been held responsible for the
mistake In reckoning which brought
his steamer on the reefs. He had
been with US twelve years, and we
must remember that human judgment
is never infallible. The mechanical
logs on which the captains have to
depend when running along the Paci-
fic coast in heavy weather usually
overrun the distance From reports
we have received from officers who
survived this particular log underran
the distance
"One lesson the Valencia disaster
must teach. That is the need of life
saving stations about the entrance to
the straits. We have great hope that
the government will take immediate
action to establish station at Cape
Flattery. It should be manned with
the stanchest surfboats and the crew
must be professionals. Senator Piles
tells me that it is almost certain that
congress will provide for the erection
of such station, now that the Valen-
cha tragedy has brought its necessity
so prominently before them. We hope,
too, that the Canadian government
will erect a station on its side of the
straits for the protection of shipping
bound for Victoria and Vancouver.
