In the face OF these occurrences, say

Situation Is Grave.
VIENNA, April 29.-No effort was
made today to disguise the gravity of
the war situation Shares dropped
several points on the bourse and there
was little or no trading. The aged
emperor Francis Joseph was in almost
constant consultation with his minis
ters, with generals and with the
Grand Duke Franz Ferdinand, heir to
the dual throne. Soldiers are moving

'sOf course, it emphasizes the divi-
sion in the progressive party which
can no longer be concealed. The fac
ton to which Mr. Pinchot belongs is
opposed to Colonel Roosevelt's policy
of trust regulation and in favor of ex-
treme measures, which the majority
of the progressive party are as yet
unwilling to adopt"
The division in the progressive
party which can no longer be con-
cealed'' has been publicly declared to
exist by Amos Pinchot, representing
the Roosevelt wing, and now by
Everett Colby, as representing the
pro- Roosevelt wing.
Clifford Pinchot himself has not
publicly admitted that he has split
with Mr.. Roosevelt. If it is true, il
IS saddening to think of, SO far as the
personal relations of the two men are
concerned, and politically it is bad
omen SO far as the progressive party
as a party is concerned.

A MINISTRY OF SPORTS

In the first week in june a cable
gram from Paris announced that the
French cabinet was considering the
appointment of an assistant secretary
of the department of labor, charged
solely with looking after sporting
affairs.
This week comes the announcement
that the czar of Russia, in order to
encourage athletics throughout the
Russian empire, has issued a ukase
creating a ministry of sports 1t is
odd, to say the least, that the least
progressive of European governments
should in this respect take most
radical and advanced position.
If any nation might have been ex-
pected to establish a secretaryship of
sports in a cabinet it would be the
United States, where sports play a
larger part in the daily life of the
people than they do anywhere else,
for nowhere else on. earth does prac-
tically every daily newspaper in the
land give up great part of its space
to seasonal sports, whether they are
the national game, yachting, the
races, the ring, the mat or the lesser
sports like bowls and billiards.
Probably because sports interest
nearly every one in this country
there is no such need of governmental
attention as there evidently is in
Russia, for example, if the reason
given on behalf of the car is true
Some day we may come to the Gre
alton of a secretaryship of sports, and
when we do the nomination for the
first incumbent made by The Call last
June should be renewed There will
be found no filter man for the posi-
ton than the Honorable Spike"
Slattery.

THEY FOUND GOOD TIMES

The directors of the National Cham
Der of Commerce, who were in San
Francisco few weeks ago, on their
trip visited Il states, studied II of
the leading cities thoroughly and Wis
tied so other smaller cities.
Their purpose was to study busi-
ness conditions On their return to
Chicago they reported: Overlooking
mills in Minnesota, miles upon miles
of ripening grains throughout the
states of Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado
and the Dakotas, together with an
abundance of everything the heart
could wish upon the Pacific slope.
They reported that the middle west
showed more life than has been mani
tested in FIVE years past. In the
Rocky mountain region conditions are
said to be splendid The cities of the
northwest are said to be going for
ward with great strides.
AS for the Pacific coast, the direc-
tors report. "On the coast the failure
of the orange crop last winter created
no more trouble than single pebble
in the bucket of plenty Diversified
tion of crops, irrigation, the raising of
apples and other temperate zone fruits
and the great tourist industry make
California veritable beehive"
The only drawback to picture of
prosperity presented by the directors
was that in many of the places they
visited they found that the future had
been discounted in construction
.overbuilding-but that is what east
ern men seem always to have found
fault with in the west.
Taken as whole, there is probably
no abler, more capable, more cautious
and more conscientious set of men
than those who made the tour in the
interest of the National Chamber of
Commerce, and their report of such
favorable conditions throughout the
western states affords a satisfactory
proof, if any were lacking, of good
times.

FERRY TALES
BY LINDSAY CAMPBELL

.HH EEr I heard a commuter ex-
-. claim the other morning as
he watched a Key Route
train discharge its load of passengers,
these clergymen are the lucky guys.
From what some of them are saying
they must have seen a whole bunch
of these diaphanous skirts. I've been
looking for one ever since first read
about them. and 1 haven't seen one
yet"
That, of course, furnished the text
for the talk that engaged the attention
of him and his friends-and all within
hearing--during the trip across the
bay.
"Our ideas of modesty change" re-
marked a prominent member of the
Rudder club, whose name 1t might be
just as well to omit Twenty years
ago." he said, II lived in little town
in Kentucky. Everybody knew every
body else. A young lady visitor went
out buggy riding with one Of the
boys. The horse ran away and cap
sized the buggy. They were both
thrown into thicket and the girl was
so badly shaken that no time was lost
in getting her back to town. She
left for home the next day. Before
she went she asked the young man
ff he would return to the scene OF
the accident and see II he could find a
brooch that she had lost in the mixup.
'sHe found the brooch. He also found
a set of false bangs enclosed In a
flmy net. He returned bangs and
brooch to the girl. Everybody in town
knew about the bangs, and the last
time I went east they were still
talking about them The girl never
spoke to that young man again and
never returned to that town, although
she had been a frequent visitor there
before.
Now for the contrast IT was at the
beach this summer. The bathing was
fine and everybody spent most of the
day either in the surf or watching the
bathers. Among the bathers one morn
ing was very pretty girl. She was
rolled by breaker and so roughly
handled that her rubber cap was dis
lodged
oh. Lordy!' she said, 7 got my hair
wet
And then, right before several hun
dred interested spectators. she first
disentangled the dislodged cap and then
removed most of her hair. She walked
up the beach toward the dressing rooms
with the rubber cap in one hand and
the dripping hair, held at arms length,
In the other. At the foot of the steps
leading to the dressing rooms she
called to a young man, who. In an
abbreviated swimming suit, was taxi

George she said, here's a Job for
you. Hold this hair in the sun till 1

from the head of the stairs, don't blow

TIE FUTURE OF THE PHILIP
 PINES.
h-(-lhD

The current number of the Ja- pan Review contains a lengthy article by Dr. Henry M. Mac Cracken, president emeritus of the New York college, who has completely reversed his former attitude on the question of the independence of the Philippines, and declares That it is neces- sary for the welfare of the Filip- inOs themselves that American control of the islands should con- tinue for many years to come.
 Dr. MacCracken was a member of the first Saratoga conNen- ton of anti-impcralists i5 years ago, was chairman of it's plat form committee, and was one of the delegation which carried to President Mckinley it's protest against the acquisition of the Philippines on any terms. He made another trip to the Philip pines last year and made a thor ough investigation of conditions. His article just published is a severe criticism off the bill pend- ing in congress providing for the immediate recognition of Filipino independence. He declares that it ''wOuld be cOwardly, shirking of our duty, a disgrace to Amer ican people and an injury to the Filipinos to give them self-gov- ernment before they are fitted for it." He thinks they may be fitte dto make a choice between the American flag and independ- ence in about 10 years, since at the present rate about three quarters of them may then be able to read and write.
 Filipino independence has ceased to be political issue and is now recognized as purely an economic one, involving national honor and duty. It is clearly the duty of the United States to re- main in the Philippines for an indefinite time.

BOOMING BUTTER PRICES.

The law of supply and demand appears tu have been suspended in Chicago by the men who con- trol the cold storage warehouses and the butter supply. The an- nouncement the other day that the supply of butler in cold stor- age was 10000, ,O00 pounds in eX- cess of the amount so held year ago was promptly followed by an advance of a cent a pound in but ter prices.
 Reports from the country show thai the butter makerS are haN- ing the most profitable year III their history. The pastures have been in excellent condition and the butter production in the mid dle states has been considerably above normal, yet consumers are paying more than they did when butter was less plentiful.
 The frank statenent is made by the buyers that, owing to war between some big butter con- cerns, they paid more than they could realize from the conSum- CTS, ESQ their only recourse was to put the butter in cold storage and hold it for winter prices. The plan operates to make the con- sumer pay winter prices in sum- mer time. The consumer seems destined to get the raw end of the deal all the year round.--Ex
