pursed in the manner of one who whistles
noiselessly.
He resumed his seat beside Sedgwick. His
eyes grew dull and melancholy. One would
have thought him sunk in daze, or doze,
while the procession filed past the unknown
dead. His monocle, which had dropped
from his eye as he turned from the coffin,
dangled against his hand, CHANGING to look
down at it, Sedgwick saw, with a start, a
knuckle appearing, through the lens, huge
and distorted. The monocle was a power

Clamor rose and spread in the room. The

"What are you trying to get at?' he de-

"The truth. What are you?"
Schlagers eyelids fiickered; but he ignored
the counter stroke. "Look out it don't lead

"This is as far as It has led me-" said Kent,
in his clear, even voice. "The body, already

seems to be lost.
The chances of ratification, on the
summing up. appear to be considered
on the whole, AS fair.
1t is not likely. however. that the
Democratic programme for the revision
of the tariff. even of the cotton and
wool schedules, can be carried through
The radical Democrats, under the lead
ership of Bryan and his supporters,
favor revising these two schedules; but
it is not in the least likely that the
Senate can be brought to agree with
this. for the Democrats will not be unit

be united against it, and the progress
sive Republicans will be divided
1t looks. therefore, as though Presi,
dent Taft g known preference, that the
Canadian reciprocity agreement be the
only measure acted upon at the extra
session, is likely to prevail. Each of
the two factions of each party will be
too much afraid Of making mistake
to insist very strongly on an action
that might turn out to be unpopular;
and if it shall turn out that the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement is the only
thing acted upon, the country will be
entirely content.

BOTH PARTIES DIVIDED.

The word comes from Washington
that the Democratic party is showing
substantially the same line Of cleavage
that was developed during the extra
session of Congress two years ago in
the Republican party The split in each
case is as between the progressive ele-
ment in the party and the reactionary
element Smoot of Utah holds the Re
publication party in this State in the
Republican reactionary column, and
Bailey of Texas is trying to hold Texas
with the rcaetionary element of the
Democratic party. The consequence of
this is to beget an uncertainty, not only
as to the general result of the extra ses-
sion, but as to the position of both par
ties with respect to the Canadian reci-
procity agreement, the chief measure
proposed.
There seems to be a consensus Of
opinion that the Canadian reciprocity
agreement will be ratified; but there
is sufficient uncertainty about this to
lead 10 much doubtful speculation. Still,
there is no solid, pronounced opposi-
tion to it on the part Of the Demo
Gratis Of either faction, and probably a
majority Of the Republicans are for it.
This will make clear sailing for ratif-
cation In the House. In the Senate
there will be opposition. perhaps from
all four of the factions Senator
Bailey wants to kill the agreement with
amendments, Other Southern Demo-
cratic. members want exceptions made
in favor of their local products or In
dustrIes. The Republican insurgents
are generally opposed to it. some on
account of the wood schedules, and some
on account of the farm schedules. 1t
would seem. on the whole, as though
the strength in the Senate in favor of
ratification would bo from the con.
servatiyeo Republicans aud Democrats.

RAISING THE "MAINE."

Full reports have been made upon
the progress of the work of raising the
battlcship Maine, which was blown ur
In Havana barbor in 1898. over thirteen
years ago. The placing of the cais.
sons for enclosing the Golfer dam is
now completed. These will be weight
ed with gravel until they settle down,
so as to make an impervious bottom to
The Golfer dam. Then the water, mud
and slime will be pumped out, and the
wrecked ship will be exposed to view
IN all its parts. Primarily the work
of removing the remains OF the sailors
who went down with the ship will be
attended to. These will be given sep
ulcher probably in the National Gene
terry at Arlington. Then will come
the inspection of the ship itself, to
ascertain whether it was destroyed from
without or from within, the assumption
being that if it was blown up from
without, the plates would be bent in
ward, and if blown up from within that
the plates would be bent outward If
this assumption proves to be correct
and to be so pronounced and invariable
as to be safe guide, then the ques-
tion of the blowing mp of the Maine
will be settled for all time.
1t will be remembered that q Board
of Inquiry was convened soon after the
blowing up of the Maine, and that this
board, after taking all the testimony
that it could get, decided that the ship
was blown up by. an explosion from
without. This would naturally berd
the plates inward But as the best
possible testimony, that Of a view of
the ship itself. was not possible to be
had at the time Of that inquiry the
question has never been considered as
absolutely settled. The exposure Of the
ship which will be made by the pump
ing out Of the water. slime, and liquid
mud, will render an inspection of the
remains of the ship easy. This inspoc
tion would be made by experts, and
there will not be thereafter any room
for questioning the decision reached.
1t is understood that Spain has asked
to be represented in this inspection,
We trust that that request will be
granted, The Spanish authorities have
always claimed that the wreck of the
Maine was from an explosion within
the ship. If Spain is allowed repre-
sentation in the inspection, as it would
seem that fairness would suggest. and,
as it is probable that the evidence will
be so plain that there could be no dis
pute, then both the Spanish and Amer
lean inspectors would agree upon their
report. With this agreement there
would never thereafter be the least pos
sible chance for disagreement or ques-
tioning; and it is for the purpose of
allaying all possible doubt from the
time of the inspection onward, that the
SUGGESTION for the granting Of the Span
ish Government 8 request to be repre-
sented in that inspection is made.

On the other hand, the prior dis
patch from Peklng mentioned the fifty
million dollar loan TO China by Il group
of American financiers as having been
completed on the 10Th of the present
month, and as being simply business

The history of the matter is, that
China by imeprial edict issued on Oc-
tober Goth of last year, authorized a
fifty million dollar loan from n group
Of American financiers. These were
to take the bond issue proposed, at %;
the bonds to mature forty TO forty
five years from the date of their issue,
and TO bear per cent interest. The
American financlers who negotiated
this loan consist of syndicate com
prising j. P. Morgan & Company,
Kuhn, Loeb & Company the Rational
City Bank of New York, and the First
National Bank Of New York. This
syndicate worked up the details of the
loan, this being the first venture of the

is no mention in the Peking dispatch,
as there is in the one from Toxic, that
the finances of Manchuria and Mon

for the new loan, So far as appears
from the Pekiug account, the general
resources of the Chinese Empire are
depended upon to pay the interest on
the loan, and to take care OF the bonds
