Annapolis, Nd, June 2L.-The coroner's
jury detailed TO investigate and fix the
blame for the fatal wreck on the Wash

Railway on June will reconvene in the
courthouse here tomorrow. after a re-
cess OF two weeks.
AT the first session Of the jury a num-
Der of witnesses were examined, includ-
ing J. \. Shannahan. general manager OF
the road, and several of the train dis
patchers. The recess was taken because
the jury desired TO hear the testimony

at that time were nursing injuries in the

Much interest Is being taken In what

An Awful Case.

From Life
AS Mr.. Tippet came in and started to
remove his overcoat his wife came M
eagerly. There was q look Of anxiety in
her eyes as she kissed him.
Did you think, dear" she asked, tim
idly 70 get that rbbon?'
What ribbon?"
why, don't you know, 1 gave you a
sample 20 match this morning?"
so you did. BY jove, it slipped my
mindr
And did you step in at the milliner' s
70 ask about my hat?'
Dear me. Lit quite ESCAPED mo-
Did you send the telegram 70 mother?-'
Great heavens, no! You see. 7 was so
busy"
And see the landlord about the leak
in the roof?'
NO. l.
His wife looked at him hopelessly.
Did YOU" she asked. sadly. do any
thing I asked you 10 90 tnls morning ?
II you didn't, you are certainly the most
forgetful man that I can conceive Of
Her husband met her smile with one of
the deepest humiliation as he drew from
his Overcoat pocket a small rectangular
package.

indeed. I admit it, I'm getting more

ing at last a needed adjustment that was
still lacking in the general business and
industrial situation.
But the consensus OF the best people
seems 10 be that the general tendency
Of values is upward, reliance being placed
upon the satisfactory state OF the crops
as a whole. upon the ease OF the none
tary situation, the exceptional prosperity
Of the West and the relative scarcity Of
stocks in Wall street
IL is believed that there are In exist
ence certain large concentrated holdings
Of one or two active stocks which have
not yet been llquidated. either from lack
OF opportunity or from lack Of desire on
the part OF those who control them: but
taking Wall street through and through,
commission houses are carrying few
stocks, and IL is found that but compare
lively little buying Is needed TO advance
prices. II is 10 be remembered. Of course.
that this scarcity of stocks is counter
balanced IN some degree by the new is
sues OF securities made since the panic.
but such new issues have been chiefly
confined to bonds.

Regarding Public improvements.

Editor Tho Washington Herald:
Mr.. w. c. Dodge, one Of your CORE

in grand conception Of a greatly enlarged

history.
The present plan OF the pending Nc
Call bill TO enlarge the Capitol grounds
in extension TO Union Station goes a
long way toward the Douglas conception
Mr.. Dodge's lament Of what could
have been done then AZ less than half OF
what It VIII cost now" is not so bad as
i would seem. The nation Is a thousand
times ADLER 20 do Il now than then, be-
sides the ground has for fifty years been

/. for one. would gladly sell the Philippines TO
Japan for what they cost us and use the means
for this purpose if necessary but we all know it is
not.
As to selling the Philippines-we can
not. Mr.. Dodge knows it, We can buy.
but we cannot sell territory. II is. on
It's face, rule that does not work both
ways. II would seem TO be q bad rule
that does not work both ways. The
principle of sovereignty is involved We
buy land and people-Florida New Mex
ico' Alaska, and the Philippines-make it
a part Of US and our sovereignty. and
then we cannot divide our sovereignty
and sell a slice. Sovereignty is .indivis-
ible. The question arose in the 1873 Span

would purchase Florida and give up
Texas. That truly grand "Old Com
moner," Henry Clay. actively opposed.

must inevitably come to US; the ripened
fruit will not more surely fall" and It is
unnecessary to hurry about it; next. ter
ritory could not be constltutlonally ceded

much for Florida, the consideration being
from Sl5O0O,OO0 10 S25,O0O.000. while Texas
was unencumbered. and Florida shingled
over with Spanish titles TO be made good.
Rather would Clay recognize Spanish
American independence and help 10 fight
for it. Oh. for a Clay in Congress to-
day. Or. in 1885, with a Clay in Con-
gress. would Spain have gotten $4,000. 900
for the Philippines? Hardly, for while
