The Brownsville Inquiry.

The senate committee on military
affairs will begin the hearings, au-
thorized by the Brownsville investi-
cation resolution, for the purpose of
getting at the merits of the Browns
Vile fracas OF last summer.
1t develops that the hearings at
this time may prove very tame, be-
cause of the difficulty of finding the
needed witnesses. The members Of
the three discharged companies of ne
gro troops have become widely scat
tered and the committee is finding
great difficulty in locating themI
1t is now believed that all the men
who we're actual participants in the
Brownsville shooting ARRAY have got
themselves out Of reach of process
servers for the senate. and that the
men who will be brought forward to
testify will be unable to do much
more than tell their own stories in
proof Of their individual innocence.

a New "Zion?"

Is General Overseer Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, of Dowie's Zion City. about
to establish his new colony at Gull
Lake?
Natives of the lake region believe
such a thing is about to happen be-
cause of doings OF mysterious
stranger who had papers addressed to
Voliva.
AS the man gave 40 name, house
wives were anxious and when he
threw away the cover of some papers
they picked up fragments and read
the address Of the eX-overseer of Zion.
Whoever the man was, he took Eotes
on the acreage, the ownership, the
prices desired, and nature Of the soil,
and quietly went away.
The suspicious of the natives have
been increased by the announcement
in Chicago papers that Voliva is max
ing arrangements to take the colony
away from Chicago.

to Look That Way.

Leaving his home in Port Huron
without apprising friends or relatives,
August Kroenig was picked up ragged
and unkempt on the streets of Denver,
Col He was unable to tell anything
about himself or his family.
From papers in his possession 1t
was possible to identify him but be-
cause his name was misspelled the
epistle failed to reach his relatives in
that city. When discovered Kroenig
was found to be suffering from lapse
of memory and had no recollection OF
his past life. He said he was working
in a brewery and gave an address that
could not be located. When picked up
by the police he was hungry and desti-
tute.
Kroenig gave up his position with
the Kern Brewing Co., of Port Huron,
to accept one in a Denver brewery.
At the time he had $50 in his pocket
and was not afflicted until he reached
Denver. The doctors hold hopes of his
recovering his mind but say his past
life will always be blank.

Wagina a Hot Campaign.

The camapign to save London from
bankruptcy at the hands of the So
cialist majority in the county council
has now developed into the hottest
political struggle in the modern his
tory of the metropolis. The issue is
solely the question of the further
municipalization of local industries.
The present majority has been in
Unbroken control since the creation of
the council in 1889. and they are SO
confident OF their strength that they
have emphasized the campaign this
week by adopting an identification
scheme on an even larger scale than
was at first planned.
The enterprise as now outlined calls
for capitalization not of $47,000,000,
as at first stated, but for the gigantic
sum of S120,000,000, and the plan con-
templates the buying up of nearly all
existing undertakings. McKinnon
Wood, the leader of the Progressive
Socialist majority, in the council, in
a speech on Thursday, affirmed that
his party would make tramways the
issue of the campaign and proceeded
to argue that they had paid a hand
some profit.

Jokers in the Bill.

Before the senate had completed the
trimming of the Indian appropriation
bill the measure looked like fugi.
tive tattered and torn. Objection
able provisions in the bill included the
order that tribal funds of several
tribes should be distributed among
members, instead of the usual order
that the income on these funds should
be distributed.
Then there was remarkable pro.
vision under which the secretary OF
the interior was authorized to grant,
in his discretion, permits to people
or corporations to enter upon Indian
reservations, construct canals and
bitches for irrigation of power works,
build dams, erect electric wires to
convey power, cut timber, etc.
These provisions were regarded as
doubtful propriety, in some cases it
being alleged that the lobbyists would
secure fees of millions if the PROPOSE
tons became law
One senator after another objected
to these various provisions on the
ground that they were general legisla-
ton engrafted on an appropriation
measure. Some of them were strick-
en- out on point of order: others
were passed over for consideration
later.

Japan War Scare.

Declaring that Japan is seeking a

country is directed to take back into

sequences" This ultimatum, he said,
has been delivered by Japan's ambas-
sador to Secretary Root
After a talk with the president
Senator Cullom, chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, said:
This war scare is all bosh. I'd like
to go to war with Senator Perkins
for talking the way he did. There is
no more chance of our going to war

MATTERS
THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. UP
AGAINST A NEW
OBSTACLE.
WASTE MILLIONS A YEAR
Appropriations for the Lakes VIII
Meet With New Form of Opposi-
tion--The Weighing Of Mails.
Wants Rivers Improved.

Representative Hepburn made his
annual speech against the river and
harbor bill. This is probably the
twentieth time he has risen TO pro
test against an appropriation for The
Improvement of the rivers and har-
bors. He represents an agricultural
district and his constituents are not
interested in navigation. In all these
years his speeches have not had much
influence. They have been of the
same kind and have been regarded as
of political character.
Now the representative from the
river valley counties are beginning to
clamor for improvements for their
own navigabie and semi-navigable wat
erways. They are not selfishly OPP
posed to what is going for the great
lakes, and for the coasts, but they
want the Missouri, che Mississippi,
the Ohio, and other rivers to be more
largely represented in the big appro-
priation bill. The congressman inter
ested in this inland transportation arc
organizing to get their share of the
millions and millions which go for
these improvements. They are not in
sympathy with the speech (and the
speeches) Of Mr. Hepburn as he is op-
posed to the principle, but they are
out for their share.
Representative Clark voiced their
feelings when he said that the repre-
sentatives OF the Mississippi valley
soon would be strong enough to meas
ure strength with others interested in
river and barber improvements. The
applause which greeted this threat
showed that he knew the men on the
floor of the house who were in sym
patty with him. He followed this with

NEGRO AS COLLECTOR.

President Roosevelt has picked
Ralph Tyler, negro, of Columbia, for
a fat federal appointment In Ohio.
While the place has not definitely been
settled upon, the tentative arrange
ment is to make him surveyor of the
port Of Cincinnati, which pays $4,000,
and is now held by Amos Smith, Jr.
Tyler has been selected on the rec
ommendation of Booker T. Washing
ton, but without consulting the two
Ohio senators, Foraker and Dick, par
ticularl- Foraker. II was one argument
in favor of Tyler's availability for this
experiment, however, that indorse'
ments by Senator'S Foraker and Dicl
for his appointment to the consular
service are on file at the state depart
ment.

canals.

Since Washington planned canal
from the Atlantic to the Ohio, and
Madison urged the need &c one from
the Mississippi to Lake Michigan, ar
tificiaI connections have bSen pro-
posed ',stween almost every two I'M
portant natural waterways OF the
country. Tor time the development
of railways obscured the interest In
the canals. The Erie canal and 9TH
ers fell into comparative disuse.
Meantime other countries have con-
tinued to open new waterways and
make great use of them. The advan-
tages OF water transportation, chle1y
its vheapness as compared with rail-
way traffic, have revived interest In
canals. To say nothing of tho Pan
anna canal, the new Erie canal, which
will take thousand-ton barges from
the lakes to the ocean, and the chi
cago drainage canal, constructed as a
sewage way and certain to be COM
pleted as n ship way, are examples
of what may be done. Our water
courses lie in four systems-the rivers
of the Pacific, the rivers OF the AT
lantic, the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries, and the great lakes. That there
will ever be a cut through the Rock
ic; to Join the Pacific and the central
systems is beyond the dreams or en-
gineers, remarks the Youths Compan'
ion, but any c;le with map may
trace the conduits that will make the
other three systems a great unit OF
traffic. Following streams where
they show on the map, draw a line
from the Mississippi to Green Bay,
from Minneapolis to Duluth, from Gin
cinnati to Lake Erie, from Ashtabula
ITO Pittsburg, from Pittsburg to Wash
ington-and the great inland cities
have become seaports. Draw another
line from Boston to Providence by
way Of Taunton or across Cape Cod
the canal is already provided lor-
from New York to Philadelphia, from
Philadelphia to Baltimore, cut the
heel of Virginia at the mouth of the
James, cut Florida along the thir-
tieth parallel, and a way is indi-
Gated by which steamer can go
from Boston to Galveston protected
from a foreign navy on tho high
seas.

The Power of Prejudice.

curious Illustration of deep-seateu
prejudice is seen in the strong oppo-
sition displayed toward the plan to
construct a tunnel under the English
channel from England to France,
which has recently been revived and
has a good chance to go through un-
less British hostility shall result in
parliament blocking the scheme.
The plan contemplates a double tun-
mel for railway purposes, about "a
miles in length; the estimated cost is
about $S0,000,000; it is believed the
engineering problem is comparative
Iy an easy one, as the rock through
which O passage will be cut is Of the
chalky order and can be readily
bored, and the financial and admins
trative phases of the undertaking
have been carefully looked after. 1t
is admitted that the tynnel, II COM
pleted, will confer immense benefit,
and that English manufacturers. by
having q line by which their prod
ucts can be shipped directly and with
out breaking bulk TO continental mar
kets. will score enormous advantage.
Still, there is a strong antagonism TO
the tunnel, generated principally by
the Imperial defense committee,
which sees in the tunnel menace
to national security. The fear of In
vasion appears to be uppermost in
many British minds and this appre-
hension creates lively visions of an
enemy pouring in by way of the hole
pierced in the chalky Dover cliffs.
Yet, says Troy Times, little charge
of dynamite would instantly put the
tunnel out of business and the result
ant flood would drown any foe who
happened to be sneaking through to
strike q deadly blow at Albion.

Saves Millions.

The house committee on postofilces
and post roads incorporated provis-
ion in the postofIice appropriation bill
which, it is said, will save the gov
eminent $5,000,0O0 a year in the
amount paid to the railroads for haul
ing mail matter.
The action was taken after an eX-
PLANTATION by Representative Murdoch,
of Kansas, who said the department
was using a false "divisor" in that it
weighed the mail for seven days and
divided the amount by six to ascer-
tain the amount on which to base
the compensation of the road.
The provision agreed on requires
that weighing shall be done for seven
days and the amount divided by
seven.

some OF them a lecture on their duties

needed time to eat, be with his family
