News from Fsir Florida Briefly Told


Business in st. Petersburg during
the past three weeks is said to have
been larger in all lines than has ever
been known there.
The commerce for the port of
Tampa last week amounted to over
half a million dollars. Phosphate
shipments were very large.
The largest ship of her class in
the United States, the U. S. collier
Cyclops, is in Key West. The Cy-
c1ops is 600 feet long and has dis
placement of 10000 tons.
r. L. Park of Ocala has received
the sad intelligence that his sister,
Miss Nellie PARK, who is a mission
airy in Japan, has had to undergo
another operation for cancer, and
is in critical condition.
Deputies Charles and Peter Perry
of st. Augustine, made an important
catch, when they captured Henry
Gray, negro, wanted in Gainesville
in connection with the murder of
DR.. Spencer some months ago.
1t is almost certain now that Tar
pom Springs is to have a new $780,
600 hotel. Several sites have been
suggested for the handsome structure.
1t is probable, however, that a cen
trally located site will be selected, as
the hotel will be built for commercial
as well as for tourist trade.
Paving work, which was stopped
by reason of inability to get the
labor necessary to handle the bricks,
has been resumed with a big force
of men in ST. Petersburg, the eff
forts OF the police to prevent idleness
and loafing among the negroes hav-
ing been successful.
Rev. F. R. Bridges, formerly presid
ing elder of this district, is again re.
turned here, and Mr.. Nixon, for the
past four years presiding elder here
has been sent to Tallahassee for
next year. He and his excellent fam,
lily will leave for that city next

sacrifices which this struggle imposes. Given the
army and the navy and tie possibility of using them
to place neighboring state under tribute, there is
always the danger of national necessities backing up
the demand for war. That is why indemnities ought
not to be permitted International law and custom
should forbid them.
In the case of the Balkan allies, they probably
have no serious expectation of getting indemnity
They know Turkey could not pay it. To exact il
would complete the bankruptcy of the nation. Euro
pean investors owning Turkish stocks, will be very
sure to see that the powers veto indemnity. The
Balkans, more likely, are pressing their money de-
mand as bluff they will try to trade it off against
the other demand, that they shall assume proper
proportion of the old Turkish debt in consideration
of the Turkish territories they get.

THE OMAHA TORNADO.

With death list that seems likely to reach 800,
the tornado which wrought devastation throughout
the central West will take its place among the great
est horrors of its kind 1t seems to have been fated
that this particular storm should pick out the centers
of population and exert its greatest force just where
the greatest loss of life and property would result
Omaha is by far the chief sufferer. Its death
list seems not unlikely to reach 2O0 with property
destruction disproportonately large even for so ap-
pang toll of life. The horrors of fire were added
to those of the storm, and altogether the experience
was quite the most fearful that any American city
has known since the earthquake and fire at San
Francisco.

WAGES, WOMEN AND VICE.

There seems now to be no room for uncertainty.
The flood of letters the press and of editorial COM
ment at large, has established beyond cav that there
is no relationship between low wages and vice. He
would be a hardy commentator who would attemp,
to maintain that hypothesis in the face of the tidal
wave of protest that has been raised.
What bosh! The girl who must live on insult,
icient wages must live in many cases away from
her home, in home that provides no opportunity
to receive her callers where she ought or still worse
compels her to receive them where she ought not.
Pretty soon some of these critics will demonstrate
that poverty is the real road to all virtue, and that
what the working girls need is the inspiring privilege
of working for nothing. We awaiting with in
terest detailed and conclusive demonstration, also,
that there is relationship between the lack of food
and hunger; that scantiness of apparel makes the
winter cold no more uncomfortable

TURKEYS FINISH IN SIGHT.

Turkey and the Balkan allies having failed to
make peace terms by direct negotiation, mediation
by the powers has been accepted as tine alternative
Without doubt it will end in peace.
The best information is that Turkey will be left
very little in Europe Constantinope and its i'm
mediate environs Its status as an European power
will hereafter be nominal. Most of the Balkan PEN
insula will be carved up among the allied states
set off in the principally of Albania. Adrianople
will be lost to Turkey, not because the allies have
proved themselves able to take it. but because the
powers will calculate that the peace of the future
will be more secure if Turkey is impressed with a
firm realization that her footing in Europe must not
be regarded as basis for future operations looking
to restoring the old dominion or anything like it.
Ii is as good certain that the allies will fail
in their demand for indemnity: and they ought In
demnity to the victorious power is vicious system
Russian diplomacy served civilization well when it
won against the Japanese demand for indemnify after
Mukden. The powers will now strengthen the prece-
dent there established, if they refuse cash payment
10 the allies and especially if in doing so they frown
upon the whole idea of money indemnities for war
In an age which has gone miIitary-mad despite
that better than any former age ought to realize
the crime of mlitarssn, the rule should be laid down
that war shall no longer be species of piracy a
prvateering enterprise with plunder as its goal an
adventure and a speculation. Germany's huge in
demnity from France was a demoralizing suggestion
of the possibility of making the other fellow pay for
our glory. The possibility of exacting hugh casn
payment, at the close of successful war not only
makes it the easier for the military party in any
country to secure hearing for its demands, but
tends to enlist the whole tax-rdden country in sup
