This was the first news of Captain Newport that tradition or history gives and the beautiful city that has sprung up like magic on that historic site today bears the name.

The numerous wrecks'" Fare also ample proof Of the fact that the men who cause them should be prosecuted for criminal carelessness. If some of these fellows who cause these frightful accidents were sent to the penitentiary for their carelessness, there would be less of them, and human life would be safer.

--u3O-- THE DECAY OF PARTIES.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 It has been long time since po- litical parties ill the United States were in so serious condition of shipwreek as they are today. This statement applies as much to either of the great parties as to the other, and equally to both.
 If it should be attempted to lay down platforms of principles for either or both of the great political parties. great confusion would re- suit. as serious difficulties in draw ing lines of demarkation would be encountered
 The Democratic principles, as they were stated in the days when Democracy was in the height of it's power and was led and repre- sented by some of the greatest men in the country, embraced the iE- violable maintenance of all rights or the StateS ana EeslStditt to dil Federal aggression. There were to be equal rights to every citizep to make the best and get the hest by means of such talents and op- portunities as he might have, with special privileges to none. There was to be no unjust discrimination and no favoritism in the levying of

THE SECOND HAGUE CONFER.
 ENCE

Now that The Hague conference is certain to meet in June it is well to consider what We may and may not reasonably expect of it in the line Of definite results. It must be remembered that the first Hague conference owes it's fame to one achievement-The Hague court and that in it's primal purposes the reduction of armaments-it failed. The coming conference will not found another Hague court, nor is it likely to record definite prog ress toward limitation of arma- ments though the subject will very probably be discussed with an eye to the future. Those, therefore, who look to The Hague for the spectacular will do we'll to curb their expectations in advance.
 It does not follow that the con- ference will be less important than that Of 1899 II it did nothing more than pursue the limited, war regulating program proposed by Russia, great good would result. But other measures will doubtless receive attention. the most i'm portant of which is perhaps the pro- posal that The Hague conference be made permanent body With periodic meetin gs-a measure which has been urged by the interparlia- i mentarE union, the Mohonk con- 1 ference and the recent national ar bitration and peace congress. It may i seem a small thing for The Hague conference merely to resolve that it will meet once in three, five or seven years, but it would in effect establish an international congress of one house to be sure and with only advisory powers but the pos shle nucleus of future interna- tional legislature. The very agree ment by all the nations to send delegates to periodic meetings fo' consideration of international prob lens, even in times of war. would rank high in history.
 Then there is the question of a general arbitration treaty. What ever may be the value of the exist ing forty-four special arbitration treaties. it cannot be denied that if The Hague conference could agree on a general treaty binding all na- tions to submit to arbitration all of certain classes Of differences aris- ing between any of them. a great step forward would be taken. Of course, such treaty would be lim- ited in scope. but it would remove as possible causes of war some classes of controversies.
 If. in addition to necessary re-
 vision of The Hague convention the conference acts on either of the above measures. it will merit the appreciation of all friends of peace.

OUR TRANSFORMATIONS PROB.
 LEM,

Vice President Nililau o. Brown. of the New York Central, | presented the railroad situation in a broad-minded way in recent ad- dress before the Buffalo chamber of commerce. While pleading for a cessation of restrictive legisla- tion in order that the railroads may be given opportunity to recover the loss of public confidence that has made it difficult to raise the capital needed for extensions and equip ment. Mr. Brown fully recognizes the usefulness of public regulation of railroad corporations and would regard any material backward step in the principle of railway regulation by the state or nation as a mistake from both the standpoint of the public and the railroad But, according to the Washington Herald. Mr. Brown has another pro- posal for the restoration of conti- dence in railroad management, and that is to make the business of the railroads "as open and as public as that of the national banks and to maintain rates that shall be reasonable, stable and absolutely equal to all" Legislation tending in this direction, MT. Brown be- lieves, will result in good, and his belief is that the railroads have ac- cepted such legislation. where it has been enacted, in good faith.
 Mir Brown gave some impressive figures to show the tremendous dimensions of the transportation problem as it has developed during the past few years Within the coming decade, he declares. al most as much money will have to be expended in increasing the facilities ing additional railroads as has been expended during the eighty years since the beginning of the construction of railroads in the United States" His own road has increased it's motive power e per vent and it's freight car equipment 54 per cent in six years, and yet cannot handle the great volume or freight offered. In five years steel production has doubled, as has also the output of petroleum. and the production of Portland cement has quadrupled. During the same period the total value of our manufactures increased $4,O00. .000. 900. More $10O,00O,O00 is being spent in the neighborhood of Chicago alone in erecting great manufacturing plants whose output will swell the volume of future traffic The railroads serv- ing Pittsburg. according to another authority, in order to handle the traffic of that great iron center have built 2,000 miles of track 1T the list two years. or the equivalent of double track line from New York to Chicago. In a single year the production of the Pittsburg dis trict increased 13,000, 900 tons These figures relate to but a frac ton of the vast extent of our coun try and to manufacturing enter prises only During the past fev years abundant crops have taxe' the capacity of our transportation facilities to the utmost, immens stores of grain are now awaitin' transportation too the seaboard 10 export, and ocean steamers hay sailed with sand for ballast in stead of the grain they would hav carried if the railroads had beel able to deliver it at Atlantic term finals

Honduras, April II, which was referred
to briefly at the time the events hap
pened. Commander Fullam found it
necessary to deal sternly with the rev.
Olutionist. the outcome being an arOl-
ogy which was not satisfactory, and
the subsequent dismissal of Isaula from
the army by Juan J. Estrada, conlnan-
der in chief of the Nicaraguan forces.
The correspondence discloses some
interesting facts. Isaula justified lis
action because of his love of country,
but Commander Fullam did not hesi-
tate to call him a traitor because
1sauia at that time was in arms against
it. He further told him that by reason
of his conduct ne would be treated as
an enemy Of the United States ana
frankly stated that Ensign McNair
would have been justified in shooting
him on the spot. The fact that
British man-of-war was not present to
resent the insult to the British flag.
says Commander Fullam, in one OF his
letters to Isaula, was all the more
reason why the United States should
take prompt action Of the fact and de-

measured terms Commander Fullam
