TOUGHEST TRIP YET.

1.-The toughest trip I have ever had
between here and the Coast said Cap
tain Mcdonald of the oil steamer
Rosecrans, which arrived yesterday
afternoon towing the oil barge Monte
rey from Monterey. 1--WE have not had
g. good day since we left Monterey and
yesterday ran into a regular Cape Flat
terry gale. Last night we lay hove-to
off the islands and our decks were
awash most of the time
The Rosecrans was reported off Koko
Head shortly after threefo'clock yes
terday afternoon, tying up at the rail-
way wharf at $50. In spite of the
rough passage, she arrived here with
all on board well and the crew of the
Monterey the same. She brings 10000
barrels of oil and her tow almost as
much.
The Rosecrans is one day behind
time, delayed by the weather. AS a
usual thing she will make the passage
with the Monterey between here and
the Coast in less than eleven days, but
this time she has been twelve days uut.
Both vessels will begin discharging
their oil this morning. o

Delaware Breakwater were received
Saturday. The vessel was 153 days

Captain Amberman was dissatisfied
with the crowd that he had signed on
at Honolulu. The vessel had a cargo
of $500 tons of sugar. She arrived
one day too late. She caught sugar at
IL cents a pound, whereas her cargo
would have been worth 81 a ton more,
had she been reported a day earlier.

In an article on bathing in the Dead

one does emerge from its treacherous

From the Washington Post.
 While the nature writers, honest and fake, are falling to with fang and claw, with concomitant uproar and mixture of fur and feathers, it is possible in spite of the racket to perceive very clearly valuable lesson in the fracas. Those who were not confused by the tumult may have noted the entry Into the squab- ble of one Caspar Whitney, a cocky young man who was extensively adver- tised at one time as the only person in the United States who knew what was what in sports. MT. Whitney is nothing if not an authority" and he Is as in- tolerant of any display of knowledge by others as he is miserly in secreting his own knowledge where nobody can find it. When the Rev Dr. Long was busily engaged with a foeman worthy of his steel. to-wit, the President of the United States, Mir. Caspar Whitney 'butted in" and tried to assist Mir. Roosevelt Dr. Long turned long enough toward Mr. Whitney to make public a couple of let ters in which the ''butter-in" had praised the Long nature studies and begged for some of them. Thereupon there was a hollow, soughing sound, the "butter-ln" shriveled and disappeared. and the Rev pr. Long resumed his highly spiced con versation with the President. MT. Cas- par Whitney had copied Polonius quail ties, but had failed to note the fate that befell the meddler who got between the sharp points of fell and deadly oppo- sites" When the whale and the sword fish are seriously engaged 1t is best for the sucker to hug the shore.
 Yes, there is food for thought in the Long, Whitney episode, if the victim has recovered sufficiently to be able to digest such wholesome nourishment

CANAL ZONE ROASTED.
Editor Says Panama and Colon Are
 Moral CesspooIs.

Special to the New York World.
 indianapolis Special to the New York World)-Editor Ferguson of the New Yol k Defender, a publication devoted to civic righteousness, Is here after visit to Panama, which he calls a hell. "The whole city of Conol," he said, ifs one big saloon. There are 10000 or F 2,000 inhab- itants and some 300 saloons. l went to the treasurer of the city and asked him in my best Spanish to tell me how many saloons there were in the town, but he record of them.
 American boys who are working in the canal zone go into these saloons by the hundreds and thousands on Sundays as well as during the week. l remember that on one Sunday there were 300 drunk en workingmen in one barroom alone.
 Panama has twice as many saloons as Colon. You can not stand any where in either city without one being within 100 yards. I found that the cities of Colon and Panama are the worst im- moral cesspools that I ever heard of.
 The social evil exists in Panama know it does despite the denials from Washington I saw enough in one day in Colon to shock the American people beyond measure. One hotel in Colon is the most notorious place think in the world. It's bars are full of abandoned women, and it stands on American ter ritory and within sight of the postoffce In one barroom one night there were
 
 drinking and earousing I thought of them at the time as nice candidates for the cross or medal that President Roose- welt said he would devise for the men who dug the canal
 While I was in Colon the first party of congressman, numbering twenty-eight, visited the canal zone and stopped there. A number of them spent s3O in one house one night for champagne and one of them got so drunk that he smashed the furniture and was forced to settle next day. The same gang of men, while on their sprees that night, rough-housed an- other place.
 \ While l was there young woman opened a house near Ancient Gate, where 1900 American workmen are quartered, the government postoffce and police headquarters. This woman proved to be the daughter of a neighbor of mine. She confessed to me that she had friends right in the employment of the govern ment who protected her.
 "The responsibility in these cities dies with the United States government through President Roosevelt, for all of :he laws in the canal zone down there

Musical Convention.

The joint convention of the southern Music Teachers association and the Ala bama Music Teachers association at Montgomery June 12, 13 and 14, Will De ol interest to all persons engaged in hlusical pedagogy and the concerts in eonnectlon with the convention will interest music lovers in general. Some of the pro grammes are decidedly attractive.
 Speaking of the concerts, well known amateur said:
 Every effort to elevate the musical taste of community is deserving of en- couragement The annual meetings or teachers result in real benefit to the cause of good music. Men and women engageu in the profession of music listen to papers more or less instructive and helpful ana take part in musical performance that IS supposed to be of high standard.
 These meetings would be even more educative and diverting than they are IL the festival features were more promi- nent. Festivals cost money but the Southern association should be strong enough to employ adequate professlohai talent. The basis of a festival is the chorus but the orchestra is of almost equal importance. The chorus must al- ways be recruited from the ranks Of the volunteers, but the soloists should be artists of high rank and the orchestra should be made up of first-class players Amateur orchestras are worth while In private circles. They are improving to those who desire to study and to acquire experience in ensemble work; but they should play seldom in public. No matter how much individual talent may be scat tered through the amateur orchestra the playing on the whole Is in the nature or things, rough. Outside of few large cities professional concert orehestras are often lacking in musicianly qualities and the amateur band is usually execrable rom the listeners point of view. But every music loving community should lind It practical to raise sufficient money to em- ploy the best professional talent at least once year and give symphonies and or atorios I hope the teachers at Mont gomery will consider this question and plan for festival on large lines in lsOS.'

Interstate Railroads

Not only the President, but also the railroads show signs of support of the Farrar proposition. MT. Farrar is a railroad lawyer of New Orleans, and he takes the position that the right in the federal constitution to establish post roads Is right to build or con trol railroads which are post roads, and that this right is not shared by the states. The federal government can form corporations as a means of executing it's powers. and over those corporations, says Mir. Farrar, the states will have no power except so far as Congress may see proper to permit.
 Here is where the President Is de. lighted, and here is where the rail roads may jump into the Farrar band wagon. One railroad manager after another Is arriving at the conclusion that federal supervision is safer than miscellaneous state restrictions, and the Farrar plan opens the way to the elimination of all state supervision.
 It opens up the question of states rights, but as the framers of the con stitution did not foresee interstate rail- way trains or even interstate post roads, it is difficult to assert the one thing or the other in relation to post roads The most that can be said in relation to MT. Farrar's argument Is that it relates to the control of rail- roads, whioa may be said to be the great question of this country. It is a question that is now fairly before the people, and it will stay there until it is settled right.
 Stranger things have happened than the acceptance by the Hills and Ingalls, and Mellens of the country of the Far Tar proposition as the lesser of two evils and the complete laying of the anti-railroad agitation which now pre- vents the borrowing of money for rail load extensions and improvements.
