 Waves for Five Hours.

The steam CT arrived here today with several doors smashed, deck fixings ripped up and her purser painfully injured by the seas which fell on the decks with crushing force.
 The steerage cabins had six inches of water in them when the steamer turned the liner. piling up so threateningly on her stern that Captain Reggun kept the steamer running with the sea, in order to quiet the passengers fears. He was given a vote of thanks by the passengers when the steamer arrived safely at port today

 tion.

Washington, January 3.-Cable advices received here today from Caracas bring the news that M.

Maubo- got. the Venezuelan representative has received all the honors appropriate to his rank as if there had been no trouble between the two countries. This latest action on the part of President Castro has been communicated to the French government. but what course will be taken is not known here.

PHILIPPINE BILL
 IS REGULAR ORDER
THE MEASURE WILL BE TAKEN UP IN THE HOUSE ToDAY-THE STATEHOOD MEASURE WILL
 SOON BE READY TO INTRODUCE.

Washington. January 3.-The bill reduc- ing the duty on Philippine products will be the regular order of business in the House of Representatives tomorrow and for several days thereafter instead of the statehood bill, as had been previously arranged. This change was necessary be- cause the statehood bill Is not re- ported, while the Philippine bill was re- ported before the holiday recess and Is now on the calendar The statehood bill is in the hands of subcommittee and some members of the subcommittee will not arrive until next Monday. It is nec- essary for the subcommittee to report to the full committee before the bill can be reported to the House.
 Although the statehood bill Is almost complete, there are some details yet to arrange. such as division lines for judi oial districts in the new state. Nor has the final draft of the prohibition amend ment yet been made. It is the inten- tion of Mr. Hamilton chairman of the committee. to reintroduce the bill after 1t has been perfected, so that amend ments will not be necessary on the floor of the House. All this may put it over until the Philippine tariff bill is out of the way. although there would be no great opposition to displaeing the Philip pine bill in order to pass the statehood bill. upon which extended debate is not expected.
 No time has been set for the limit of debate on the Philippine bill. The meas ure coming from the ways and means committee is privileged and can be taken up without a special rule.
 Chairman Payne will open the debate on the bill tomorrow, according to pres ent arrangements, and some of the mi nority are expected to reply

MORE TROuRLE.

Awhile ago there was an apparently
good excuse for putting up the price Of
coal. 1t went up promptly. Now there
Is an apparently good excuse for put
ting up the price of ice, and up it goes.
1.-THE people are complaining, and
their complaints are receiving some at
tention. What effect the complaining
will have on the price of ice remains
to be seen. Probably not much. The
use of ice will, of course, decrease
much. Many who took much at the
old price will take less, and many who
took little at the old price will take
none. So perhaps the ice companies
won't reap all the harvest they will be
charged with reaping.
When the Standard Oil Company
made its reply to the President it said:
ut may be frankly stated at the outset
that the Standard Oil company has at
all times, within the limits of fairness,
and with due regard for the law, sought
to secure the most advantageous freight
rates and routes possible This was
mild way Of saying that the Standard
Oil company is not in business for its
health. 1t is getting all it can without
getting into trouble. Its example is
followed, more or less afar off, by many
companies. How to regulate it all is a
bigger question than 1t seems to some.
1t can't be regulated by anarchy. Per-
haps it can't be regulated by Socialism.
Regulation by commission seems to be
the most popular compromise. And
how that will work remains to be seen.
1t hasn't worked very thoroughly so
far but perhaps it is going to soon.

Much has been said in favor Of the
cigarette lately. Distinguished medl-
cal men have come out in commenda-
tion of it, and even the sober and
weighty London Lancet has more than
limited that it is as good a way to use
tobacco as any. But it should not be
forgotten that there is not a little evil
dence against it. More is apparently
added by what has just happened in
Boston. A husband who was applicant
for divorce in Boston testified that his
married life was happy until his wife
acquired the cigarette habit Then she
became neglectful of her domestic du-
ties, steadily grew less companionable
and finally packed UP her buds and
quit him The judge granted the di-
vorce.
Kipling wrote rather sentimentally
about a brute of man who seemed to
prefer the privilege of smoking cigars
to the love of a beautiful young wom-
an, but perhaps that might be expect
ed of some men. When beautiful
woman, who is also married, prefers
cigarettes to the delights of her home
and the love of her husband it doesn't
look just right. Still, it may be only
one Of the things which don't look just
right but which we have got to get
used to because they suit the real rul-
ers of the world. 1t will not surprise
some people that cigarettes kill love.

THE STATE and INSURANCE.

In the case of the Travellers Tnsur-
ance company against the Insurance
Commissioner of Kentucky, the su-
preme court has held that it is clearly
within the right of State to prescribe
the terms and conditions on which in
surance companies OF other States may
transact business within it's territory.
The decision, while important to Ken
lucky, and to all States, in fact, and to
all Insurance companies, is of peculiar
interest in the fact that it means that
the Supreme court maintains its hold
ing that insurance is not commerce
and not within the power of the control
of the Federal government.
The Kentucky statute vested the In
surance Commissioner with power to
revoke the license Of any foreign in
surance company-that Is, of insurance
companies deriving their charters from
other States-which sought to transfer
cases brought against it in the State
courts to the courts of the United
States, and licenses were issued with
full notice of the existence of the stat
ute. The Travellers sought to have a
suit brought against it in the State
court transferred to the Federal court,
and it's license to do business in Ken
lucky having been revoked, the compa-
ny brought proceedings against the
Commissioner to test the question. 1t
was claimed by the company that the
statute was in contravention of the
Federal constitution, that it contraven-
ed it's rights to transact business in
any State and, being nonresident of
Kentucky, to have It's rights or tabil-
tiles determined in the Federal courts
as between citizens of different States.
The Supreme court, by the substantial
vote of seven to two (Justices Peckham
and Harlan), affirms the Kentucky
Court of Appeals in it's finding that it
was within the right of the State to
prescribe the terms on which the COM
pany might transact business in Ken
lucky.

ton, were cut something like $12, 1000 900.
This will leave the navy without re-
serve guns and reserve powder, give
new warships no powder at all, reduce
the stock Of torpedoes, provide for no
mines, and afford no means of holding
target practice. The large ships will
have no more powder than is sufficient
to fire the big guns for thirty minutes,
when the vessel must retire from any
action and be a burden, floating hulk,
open to attack it cannot repel. The sit
uation is desperate one," says the
naval chief of ordnance, and one which,
were war declared this year or next
against this country, would lead to the
disaster of defeat. 1t is the hope of
Rear Admiral Mason that the Senate
Naval Committee will restore to the
bureau the items which have been cut
by the House. The chief of ordnance
says: 1.-THE people of this country be-
lieve, and justly, that, ship for ship,
our navy is as efficient as any other,
but this efficiency disappears the min
ute it becomes impossible to replace
aboard ships such stores and articles
as are necessary for use in war, and
which may be or are expended or dam
aged in use. That minute is upon US
now, in spite of the bureaus best eff
forts, and we stand to-day with empty
storehouses and magazines, 50 far as
modern reserve material is concerned.
The efficiency of the navy which the
country justly expects and demands is
not in existence, so far as the ordnance
material is concerned, and the navy
will be found wanting unless The de-
fciencies are made good without delay.
That this condition actually exists the
people have never been informed, and
Congress does not appear to realize it.
The bureau believes that it should be
placed before Congress in the plainest
and most convincing language, in order
that there may be no failure to I'M
derstand the actual conditions which
exist"
AS there is no war in sight the coun-
try will not be much scared by this
condition of things, but perhaps ii
ought to be-
