MOST DANGEROUS
1OF WAR CRAFT

The loss of the French torpedo boat,
Pluviose, was made the occasion of
expressions of the most friendly char
acter by the press of Europe, especial
ly that of England. Naval authorities
are unanimous in the conviction that
the disaster confirms an opinion that
has been quite general-that the sub
marine must be considered an auxil-
larry to larger craft, and not an indie
pendent unit. One prominent official
phrased it thus.
The submarine must have bat
tleship as it's wet nurse
The accident also emphasizes the
truth that the submarine offers the
most dangerous work known to
army or navy undertakings, not ex-
ceptino dirigibles and aeroplanes.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Plu-
viose did not sink for fully fifteen min
utes after she was struck, the crew
was unable to escape by the means
provided for just such an emergency.
This forces the conviction that naval
constructors have practically failed in
their efforts to furnish any dependable
means of escape.
No invention has ever occasioned
so much real anxiety as the submar-
inc, the chief reason for which is un-
doubtedly the universal fear of hid
den and mysterious danger. Savages
and the best trained men of modern
civilization have shared the same
fear. However, the history of sub
marines to date has been a record
where all the known loss of life has
been, not to an enemy, but to those
engaged in operating them.
1t does not follow from this that
the submarine will not yet make a
glorious record for itself, but evident
IL the present type of construction
is still far from perfect.-Popular
Mechanics.

Recalled
From Rome

SAN SEBASTIAN July 3O-The
government of King Alfonso yesterday
recalled Marquis Oieda, Spanish Am
bassador at the Vatican, as a result of
a rupture between the ministry attn
Madrid and the Pope.
The Carlists, headed by Don Jaime,
the Pretender to the throne, have been
active during the past several days
and Jaime issued manifesto yester.
day, announcing that he would lead
the Carlists in battle if the threaten
ed revolution developed into civil war.
The cause of the trouble between
the Kinks ministry and the Vatican is
due principally to the attempts of
Premier Canalejas to institute reforms
In the school system, to take steps
similar though far less radical than
those taken by the French, and to the
Premiers efforts to provide more reli-
gious freedom to Professionals and
amend the concordat of 1851 so as to
change the laws regarding the holding
of property by the church and by the
church societies.

ASK ROOSEVELT SUPPORT.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-The progress
sive or insurgent Republicans of the
Empire State yesterday started a
boom of Clifford Pinchot for the Repub.
lican nomination for governor.
Following the launching of the boom
the friends of the deposed forester
asked Colonel Roosevelt to support
the candidacy of Pinchot.
Pinchot's hackers are among the
progressives in this state, and they
believe the personal popularity OF
their favorite would give him decided
advantage over any other candidate
that might be nominated
Customs Collector William Loeb
Jr., has been urged to enter the race
for the nomination, as he could, it was
claimed, command the support of the
insurgents as we'll as the regulars.
Colonel Roosevelt favored Governor
Hughes, but Pinchot is the most con-
spicuous of probable candidates at the
present time.

JAPAN AND
THE POWERS

The Japan Weekly Gazette of July 8
contains the following:
The Nippon remarks that the trea-
ties existing between Japan and other
countries expire either on July 10th
or August Bird of next year, and there
fore the Japanese government will
have to notify the treaty powers eth
er on July 18th or August 4th this
year her intention to revise the
treaties now in force. With respect
to the America-Japan treaty which, &C
cording to the contention of the Unit
ed States Government, expires in 1912
twelve months, after the expiry of
those with other Powers-Japan has
done her best to persuade the Wash
ington Government to renew the exist
ing treaty in the summer of next year,
concurrently with the revision of the
treaties with the other powers but so
far Japan has not succeeded in her
efforts. The American Senate was
closed on Pune 2th5 without discussing
the matter. This, says the Nippon, has
greatly disheartened the Japanese
who are keenly interested in the mat
ter of Treaty Revision. It is recall
ed that the America-Japan Treaty was
signed between the Washington gov
eminent and Mr.. Kurina, at that time
japanese minister in Washington, who
conducted the negotiations under the
direction of the late Count Mutsu, Min

TOURIST TELLS HOW
HE FOUND DE. COOK

DR.. Robert N. Kelley, who has just
returned from South America, and
who found DR.. Frederick A. Cook. the
Arctic explorer, living in a bungalow
at Mendoza, in the Andes, said that
the alleged discoverer of the North
Pole was very shy and that when he
tried to interview him the Arctic ex-
plorer drove away. He brought back
a photograph taken os Cook, that was
snapshotted while the latter was wait
ing at Cumbre to be transported by
coach through a cut in the Andes, says
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Doctor Cook" continued Doctor
lAeeley, was disguised. He had his
mustache shaved off and wore a long
raincoat. He abandoned his hat for a
golf cap, which he wore when he slip
ped out of New York. If it were not
for the photograph it would be hard
to convince any one that he really
landed in South America.
doctor Cook would have escaped
the photographer had he not been
compelled to take one of the coaches
which are used to transport passen-
gers through the railroad cut between
the Argentine and Chilean termini of
the railroad.
The baggage which Cook carried
was shipped ahead of him. He was
travelling as lightly as he did when he
went north. There was a short wait
before the coach started through the
cut, and in that time the Doctor stood
in front of the line of wagons. When
he heard the click of the camera he
hurried under cover of one of the wa
CONS and sped on through the cut.
Doctor Cook was 1880 feet above
sea level when he was in Cumbre. His
new home is in one of the most pic
turesque parts of South America, and
there is no likelihood of his being
found in that region. I believe that
ne will stay there until he feels that
he can come home with some kind If
proofs
while on the Peary expedition Dr.
Cook did very little or no navigation
work. He is not experienced and I

WIZ ARE OLD MAIDS Nor MARRIED.

A request has come asking for ar
article on why Are Old Maids Not
Married." This is somewhat of a
poser. Probably every old maid"
(the term belongs to the last century,
not the present one) has her individ-
ual reason for not having married,
and it would be difficult to classify
these reasons under any specific
heads.
The usual unthinking reason why
old maids are not married is that
they never had the chance. But this
is truly an expression of opinion from
those who do not think. 1 have
known some very hard cases from the
point of looks, style and accomplish
ments, and these are considered the
marrying points, who have had not
only one, but several opportunities of
marrying, and l do not believe there
is one unmarried woman in this coun-
try, unless she is of unsound mind or
terribly deformed in some way, who
couldn't have married if she would.
1t is true that in that much talked-of
play, "a Mans World" one of the
principal characters says she is not
married because no man has ever
asked her. But she very evidently
says this to make point for a certain
argument in the play.
Many a woman desires to find an
outlet for her abilities in some GER
tain line of work, or in some profess
sion. Married life as it is usually
lived today would interfere with this
ambition. AS she feels marriage will
not satisfy her absolutely, she relin-
quishes it in favor of her work.
Many single woman has not mar
ried because she has not found the

Once in while the news dispatch
es bring confirmation of the familiar
bromidion that truth is stranger than
fiction. Nobody really doubts this
fact, but nevertheless it is OCCASION
ally satisfying to find that all the mar
row escapes and the condolences and
happenings at the psychological mo
ment do not occur within the pages
of the six best sellers or their trail
ing fellows of the ephemeral prints.
New Jersey, which has done its full
part in persuading humanity that
there is some justification in fact for
the vivid imaginations of the novel
lists, supplies the latest instance CT
this sort. A wife murderer, con
demned to die, was literally sitting in
the electric chair. The official cleo
trician held the handle of the switch,
the movement of which would send
the lethal current through a human
body and send one more life out into
the void. The condemned man was
ready for his fate, resigned to receive
the punishment of crime of which
he stood confessed. His lawyer, how
ever, true to his professional instinct,
was not willing that the end should
come without final effort. The only
Judge available to sign stay of exc
cution was about 20 take a train TO
his country home. The lawyer caught
him in a torrent of impassioned Ian
guage that his client was entitled to
a rehearing, scrubbed an order as the
train was moving, and it was passed
out of the window signed just as the
end of the platform was reached.
Probably never before was the differ
ence between life and death reduced
to so small a margin in the course of
legal procedure. The respite reach
ed the execution chamber within half
a minute of the time when save for
the interruption the killing current
would have been switched into the
wife murderer's body. At this point
fact differentiates from fiction. It
might have been expected, according
to the teachings of the story tellers,
that the respited man would drama,
tically clasp his rescuer to his heart
and sob out his thanks upon his
shoulder. On the contrary, this man
was provoked. He had prepared
himself for the end and he wanted no
postponements. It is just here where
the truth is in it's essence stranger
than Washington Star.

right man. She has certain ideals
and she will make no compromise.
She marries to be happy, and unless
she can realize her ideals, she knows
she will not be happy. Therefore she
refuses to yield.
To be sure, cynics say that wom-
en- today will not marry unless they
can get man with plenty of money;
also that women do not want the
cares of married life and the up
bringing of children. But that is not
true of the great majority of Ameri.
can women. Women today welcome
love just as gladly as they ever did,
but they will accept no substitute in
the way of a mere home or support.
These things a woman can provide
for herself nowadays, and she is
cheerfully doing it,
The life of the single woman OF
today is much more enjoyable than
it has ever been. The phrase "old
maid used as a term of reproach,
has become almost obsolete among
progressive peoples. Almost every
woman today can earn her own living
in the way she wants to, live as she
pleases, travel, go to places of amuse-
ment by herself. Married life, then,
must offer her its one reason for be-
ing, true love, and the man she will
choose for her husband must measure
up to her ideals. And the think
ing American woman of today sets
rather high standard of manhood
Perhaps these reasons will answer
the query sent.

what resources naval expansion

official experience, Baron sakatanl
contends that the naval expenditure
should be drawn from the ordinary re-
sources, and not from the extraor-

to rely upon foreign yards for the
building of new ships, and still more
inadvisable to borrow money from for

also steel works, should be kept indie

JAPAN s NAVAL
EXPANSION
AA.%--~ n~1E

DR.. Baron Sakatanl, Minister of FL
nance in the last cabinet speaking re-
Gently in Tokyo, said that the effects
of the Russo-Japanese war on the equi-
librium of the Powers resulted on the
one hand in the conclusion. of the
peaceful agreements and on the other
the competitive expansion of navies.
This competition has been greatly af-
fecting the treasures of Great Britain,
Germany and the United States. The
immediate stimulus of the competition
is usually attributed to the construc-
ton of the Satsuma by Japan and that
of the Dreadnought by Great Britain,
but the latter certainly attracted
much more attention than the former.
Attempts to mutually restrict ship
building by Great Britain and Ger
many and Austria and Italy have fail
ed. While efforts are being made at
The Hague Conference to prevent fric-
ton, the actual development is in the
opposite direction. The expansion of
their armies by European countries
and America does not directly affect
Japan, but that of the navies does,
