William Window. CT Minnesota. de-
feated himself for reelection TO the Senate
some twenty-five years ago by the build
ing OF a house IN Scott circle. which
was regarded as palace in those days
and. although il cost less than 100000,
a monument of reckless. extravaganza.
The house still stands, a plain. substan-
tial REQ brick with big, heavy porte
cochere. not a marvel of architecture by
any means. but a dignifed. pleasant. and
comfortable house to live In, neither too
fine nor too pretentious for the home OF
a Senator Of the United States
But Il matters not whether 1t was
fine or poor. it lost Window seat in
the Upper House, for while Il was stilI
in the building. his political opponents
had it photographed and plastered the
Stale Of Minnesota from one end to the
other with pictures of it. do we want a
millionaire, a man who can afford to
live in such style as this house calls
for TO represent US in the Senator" was
the cry of the political jackals who
pursued and finally destroyed him, for
their charge was OF such q character
that it could not be met with immediate
counter proof; yet Senators had built and
lived in houses Of their own long before
his day.
The splendid mansion on the corner
OF H street and Vermont avenue. now
part OF the Arlington Hotel. was once
owned and occupied by Senator Sumner:
the house on Highland Terrace that
IL
property. and while he was still in the
Senate he built a larger and handsomer
house in Massachusetts avenue, which
he subsequently sold to the widow OF
Gen. Grant This house is now owned
by Gen. Johnson. who was recently
appointed one Of the triumvir. who gov
ern Washington.
Senator Morrill,. Of Vermont, built
handsome and comfortable house in
Thomas circle early IN his career IN the
Senate without exciting the ire of his
constituency; WIllanm Z. Chandler own
ed and lived in the house he now oc-
cupies when he was in the Senate, and
James G. Blaine was also a householder
and neighbor of the Chambers. Saw
Yer. Of Wisconsin, owned a home here.
and so did Allison. OF Iowa. 1t was, in
fact, no more unusual for a Senator 10
own home in Washington thirty or
forty years ago than ii is to-day, but
Window was pioneer in the fashionable
West End, and the house standing alone
in a conspicuous position and built on
rather imposing lines furnished his en-
emies subject that especially appealed
TO those borny-handed sons OF toll who
are ever at the behest OF the dema-
gogues.
1t is not to be questioned that

for purposes Of revenue only, was pro-
hibited. Al different times. between fSl5
and 1856. international arrangements, con-
ceived in the same liberal spirit, were
entered into by the various powers of
Europe with reference TO the Elbe. the
vistula. the weser, and the Pc, while in
1895. By a treaty between Spain and
Portugal. the navigation OF the Douro was
rendered common and free TO the sub
jects Of both powers.
As Turkey was not party to inter-
national law at the time OF the negotia-
ton of the Treaty OF Vienna, the pro-
visions Of that instrument were not ex-
tended to the Danube. But By the con-
gress of Paris. in 1856, at which the
sublime porte was represented. the
Danube was placed upon the same inter-
national footing as the other great rivers
Of Europe.
A commission was created for the pur-
pose OF constructing and maintaining
such engineering works as were necessary
10 free from obstruction the mouths OF
the river. and also higher up. The
commission, on which not only the cOun-
ries watered by the Danube. but also
Germany. France. and Great Britain were
I. represented by virtue Of their extensive
trade interests on the river. was author
lied TO levy just enough dues on the
shipping to defray the cost Of these
works, which have been completed.
The existence of this commission has
been prolonged at various times; first By
the treaty of 1871, and then by the con-
gress of London. in 1883. At the latter
it was decided that the commission should
continue for another twenty-one years,
that is to say, until 1904, and that after
| that time it should renew its existence
of its own accord and without any other
process until the international agreement
is denounced by one or another OF the
geart powers concerned.
II none of them has as yet taken
any steps TO abrogete a commission,
which has become to all intents useless,
save for purposes of police and super
vision. It Is because each government
has hesitated about raising all sorts OF
troublesome issues calculated 10 degen-
crate into subjects Of conflict. thereby
adding TO the dangers Of that over
threatening volcano yelept, the eastern
question. Roumanis, servia, and Bull
garia. which are vigorously debarred from
erecting fortresses on their banks Of the
river eiamor for the removal Of this
restriction.
What the attitude of this country IS
toward the principle Of freedom Of nav
igation of rivers traversing different
countries. Is conclusiyely shown by the
understanding of the United States with
Great Britain, by virtue Of which the
navigation of the St Lawrence, which
after separating for great distance

erses Dominion territory to the sea, is
open to citizens OF the United States on
exactly the same conditions as those
which are imposed on the lieges OF King

Leader of Band at Peary Testimonial
Starts Music.
One of the most amusing scenes of the
recent Peary testimonial in the Metro
politan Opera House was caused by the
quick wit of Charles Van Baar, leader of
the band. which furnished music for the
meeting. Van Baar is noted for his i'm
promptu and appropriate selections. and
when the point came where Gov. Hughes
handed Commander Peary the check for
$4,000 each gentleman seemed loath to
let go. and they stood there holding It
between them. while Pesry said he was
going to give the money TO aid in dis
covering the south pole.
As but one person in the house knew
the commander was going to give away
the money, that person being Mrs.
Peary. the declaration occasioned a tre-
mendous surprise. But Van Baar. quick
to seize an opportunity, Immediately

OUTSIDE GYM WORK
Tnf LATEST SPORT
New Form of Exercise Will Be
Taken Up at ST. J0SepHs
Academy

Outdoor gymnasium classes is the
latest departure 1T St Josephs acad-
emy. Peralta park Berkeley. Albin
Forslund, instructor in physical culture
at the academy, made an experimental
attempt at outdoor gymnasium work
some weeks ago, and the results have
justified him in declaring that when
weather conditions permit, the open air,
rather than the inclosed gymnasium, is
the proper place for the boys to exc
cute their wand drills and heave their
Indian clubs.
The academy, which is the prepara-
tory department of st. Mary's college,
is equipped with a wen appointed gym
nasium building. Several of the exer-
cises are such that they must be per-
formed with the stationary appurte-
nances in the building. There are sew
eral drills, however, which can be gone
through out of doors without serious
inconvenience to either instructor or
pupils.
Among the students of the academy
who are prominent workers in the
gymnasium classes are the following:
Harold Flood, Robert McCrea, Thomas
Reilly, George Heininger, James Wall,
Edward Green Clinton Thompson, Ger
ard Bush, Philip Hart, John Roche,
William Cunningham, Alexander Card
ener Harold Fitzgerald, Edward Wall,
Francis Porter, Wilbur Foley, Athol

ST. .MARY'SCOLltGE
HAS A FAST NINE
Outlook Is Bright for Another
Great Team Across the Bay
This Season

A large number of candidates for
places on the Phoenix baseball team
occupy the campus daily at st. Mary's
college. Brother Joseph, who man
ages the team, reports an abundance
of excellent material for the season of
1910 and entertains the most optim-
istic views concerning the record of
the future nine.
With the exception of frankie Hart,
the clever little southpaw who deco
rated the mound for the st. Mary's
men last year practically all the play
ers of last season will be in the COM
ing lineup. The Phoenix will be un-
usually strong in slabsters. Besides
CHUCK" Wilcox and Tiny" Leonard.
both of whom did yoemans service
with last seasons tossers, the college
can fall back upon such promising
twirlers as Cam, Sheehy and Bonnetti.
Besides Simpson, last years back
stop the receiving lend of the Phoenix
battery is equipped with Ray Miller.
who played on several occasions with
last seasons team. Jim Smith is san-
other possibility as backstop.
Leonardt, who held down the initial
sack for the Phoenix most of last
season, probably will play in the field.
The position of first baseman may be
filed by either Dunigan or Remmer.
Both players have served a long no
vitiate on the second team of the coll
lege.
Louie Diavila. Rugby captain for the
season of 1910. is likely to alternate
with Wilkinson a second. Some brand
new material for the third sack is now
being tried out in a series of practice
games. BY the looks of things, Lacey
and Guigni are the most likely candi-
dates.
Eddie Burns, who is coaching the
team, is working Systematically to de-
velop sure and heavy hitters. Last
years veterans have still something to
learn concerning the kinks in big
league baseball. and Eddie, who has
had variety of experience since he
acted as backstop for the 1907 Phoenix.
Is in good position to act as tutor.
