Disappointed Again.

The collapse of the company which
was organized in England to prosecute
the bruce claim to the title and es-
tates of the duke of Portland is typical
of the fate that usually awaits such
enterprises. The corporation was or
ganized and shares were taken by
sanguine individuals who professed to
believe there really was chance to
GUST the present holders of the lands
and the dukedom, but who have only
complete failure to show in return for
the money invested. Schemes of this
and similar kinds are not unknown
In other countries, including our own.
Associations have been formed to get
hold of valuable lands, treasure hidden
by pirates and other more or less
mysterious If not mythical property,
but very rarely has there been profit 20
anyone except the lawyers and other
agents who have been paid to look up
the cases. Unclaimed and unappropri-
ated estates and unverifed titles are
by no means as numerous as some
credulous persons are ready to be-
lieye.

Disastrous spring floods can be pre-
vented, according to the chief hydro
grapher Of the government. He has
lately proposed that detention reser-
Voirs be built along the upper reaches
OF the rivers, in which the rains and
melting SHOWS shall be collected only
to flow out slowly and In such volume
as will do no damage to life or prop
erty. The loss occasioned by the
floods in the valley of the Ohio river
In January and March of last year has
been estimated at $1OO,OOO,O OO That
sum spent for reservoirs, the hydro
grapher thinks, would make the valley
safe hereafter. The government is al.
ready building large reservoirs in the
west for the storage of water to be
used for irrigation, but the land there
is cheap in comparison with that in
the Ohio valley; but if the use of
thousands of acres for reservoirs
would prevent the disastrous floods
the residents of the valley would
doubtless think that the land was
serving a good purpose.

Getting Closer Together.

The Pan-American Scientific Con-
gress, to be held at Santiago, Chile,
next December, will be gathering Of
much significance. Congress has been
asked to appropriate $4,000 that this
country may be properly represented,
1t being in contemplation to send rs
delegates from the United States.
Leading universities are taking up the
matter and may be represented indie
pendently. The congress will con.
slider American social questions, with
a view to presenting to the world the
advantages Of the western hemisphere.
The program of the session, which is
to begin December 25 and continue
ten days, will include a review Of
American civilization and its develop
ment and influence on the world. Ne
cessarily the proceedings will tend to
draw the countries concerned into
closer and more sympathetic associa-
ton, and in all this the United States
will bear a notable part.

One of the notable new structures

vote to place in the building testimo-
NAL to Hon. Elihu Root, secretary Of
state, in recognition of his services in
maintaining and strengthening friend
ly relations between the Latin-Ameri.
can republics and this government.
That is graceful and appropriate ac-
ton. The form of the testimonial has

doubt that something appropriate and
dignified will be selected.

War upon anarchists will never be
successful as long as it is carried on in
a spasmodic manner. When some re.
voting assassination is committed by
these murderers the cry goes out for
their suppression and an effort Is
made to locate them and keep them
under watch. They keep in the back
ground then for a time until an op.
portunity arises and another assassi.
nation shocks the world. Until a com.
plete system of police espionage is es-
tablished in every quarter of the
world and anarchists are treated as
criminals of the most dangerous sort
their villainous deeds will continue.
