The whole story is finer than romance in that ft is a fact and will be an inspiration to men wherever it 1s bnown. The Spanish admiral, too, showed himself t in every particular worthy of eo re- ple an experience. It had !ts trying ll as its gratifying phases for him. ped him thoroughly and revealed character of the highest delicacy and diplomacy, as the rescue of Hobson had stamped him as a man of genuine chivalry | cumstances so extraordinary, Responses to civilities are, id generosity. of course, easily made by an educated gen- | but to reply to so many letters ané as Admiral Cervera did, in cir- but always aptly and gracefully, and with never a word tleman, addre: | teo much or one fll chosen, was an accom- plishment of note in ftself. His reply to the invitation to visit Lieutenant Hobson's home and receive the thanks of the citi- zens for his conduct toward their famous young townsman was a triumph of good taste and feeling which any master of expression well might envy. The only suggestion of regret connected with the whole matter Is that this splendid specimen of the gentleman and gallant sailor may find his embarrassments in- creased at home by the reception that has been accorded him here. Passion is run- ning so high in Spain and hatred of Amer- ica still so strong in the bosoms of those who are looking for a scapegoat that the decoration of American admiration may work injury to this man who so worthily wears it. But this penalty, if he should be forced to pay it, will not have any lasting effect or dim for long, even among his own people, the luster of his now world-wide reputation. ee King Cotton. secretary of the New Orleans cot- change has rec2ntly completed a careful analysis of the movement of the cotton crop fer the season which ended August 31. The results of his work are of the sreatest importance to th> commercial worid generally. The crop this year amount- ed to more than eleven million bales, larger than that of any preceding year by more than a million bales, yet the past season has not been generally profiltadle to the manufacturing industries, as a whole, not- withstanding the low price of the raw ma- terial. The most significant fact In con- nection with all this is that tha mill-men of the southern states app2ar to have done unusually well. During the past eight years the number of cotton spindles in the south has increased 151 per cent, as against 18 per cent for the rest of th> country. As a result of their proximity to the cot- ton fields, the cheapness of fuel and the cheapness of labor, southern manufactur- ers have enjoy2d advantages that nave put them fairly in the field as rivals to their northern brothers. Time waa, ard not so long ago, when no man could have been found to take much stock in a cotton mill outside of New England, but that has all been changed now. It 1s hard on Lowell, Manchester and oth3r New England towns, but it is a first rate thing for the south. ‘lbis new development has come in accord- ance with well-recognized commercial law and means a great deal in the way of en- larg2d opportunities for growth and prog- ress for the great section of country south of Mason and Dixon's line. ——__+ + = —____ The Clock in the Tower. “The French clock under the glass bell struck eleven. The hands pointed to sev- enteen minutes of six and by a rapid men- tal calculation he knew that it was twenty- eight minutes after three.” This extract from a once popular nov- elette gives a faint idea of the difficulties of telling the time of day from a certain class of mantel ornaments. Some similar method is necessary in the case of the now famous time-plece in the tower of the new City Post Office. The following is recom- mended for the benefit of people who are not so fortunate as to possess watches: Secure a position from which you can see any one of the four faces of the cl . It makes no difference which you select, for the hands on all four point consistently to sixteen minutes after six. Then if the whistles happen to blow for noon you know it is twelve o'clock. Otherwise look in the window of one of the avenue jewelry shops and you can see what time it is. A second method, but one that is not al- Ways so satisfactory, is to ask the time of some passer-by. The ton e > ____ Progress in China, It has taken China a good many centuries to get to the point in its development where its ruler can commit himself as in favor of a free and enlightened press. China has good claim to the possession of the oldest daily paper in the world, but it has never been a newspaper in the sense that Ameri- cans understand the term. Now it appears that the Emperor of China has Issued an official ukase that hereafter the newspapers may print the news and he hopes that they Will take advantage of the opportunity to comment freely and intelligently on the topics of the day. He says that articles that, on their face, seem unfriendly to him- self need not necessarily be suppressed on that account. He would like to find out What is thought of him and of things in general. In this the Emperor of China, it he lives up to his professions, has taken a leng step in advance of some European rulers, the Emperor of Germany, for in- Stance, who usually makes trouble for edit- ors who think and are so reckiess as‘to print their thoughts. +e —____ An Excellent Recommendation. In « report which the superintendent of the District street and alley cleaning de- partment today submitted to the Commi ‘'s he earnestly recommends the re- moval cf asnes at public expense from the public school houses, the police and fire departments, and all other public institu- ticns, business establishments and private dwellings. The arguments which he ad- vances in favor of this system are such as vill appeal to every one who is interested in the welfare of the District and are prac- tically unanswerable. It is unquestionably a work which should be done under the supervision of the municipal authorities in- stead of in the hap-hazard, happy-go-lucky way waich now prevails. The amount of money which the superintendent regards as necessary to do the work in a proper and systematic manner is reasonable enough, and, indeed, seems small in com- parison with the sums which other cities expend upon It. sic — ‘The sultan should bear in mind that the United States has been waiting a good muny years for a chance to infuse new Hfe into that Thanksgiving turkzy-carving Joke. 2 —____ ‘Theodore Roosevelt's admonition that it is not well to repose on past successes might bz beneficially considered by Plavt and Croker. ——_~+ + —_____ Cervera goes away with a very high opinion of this country.

The claim has been made from a number of sources of late that the American peo- ple and p-ess should go slower in the mat- ter of critizing the conduct of the war for fear of the bad impression it might convey to our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic. Yet the London Post, which has frequently exercised the right all Englishmen so much enjoy of criticiz- ing us on every provecation, commenting yesterday upon the proposed inquiry into the methods of our War Department, says that the Investigation will show “how dif- ficult {t is to improvise the appliances and equipments of war.” While granting that many mistakes were made it claims that the responsibility probably does not rest with the Secretary of War nor even the government. The mistakes were due to our unreadiness and to the fact that the country demanded that war be under- taken without delay, without trained men and without the preparation necessary for accomplishing military enterprises in an orderiy manner. In summing up the case lin this way the London Post has come much nearer to the truth than English Journals are wont to do when dealing with American matters. A New England farmer was once describ- ing a neighbor who was notorious in that neck of woods for his iack of foresight and preparedness. “That man is so shift- less,” said he, “that his wife always has to burn green wood in harvest time.” It was a homely phrase, but whole vol- umes could not have hit off better the character of the man who was being dis- sected. At the season when farmers’ wives are busiest, when meals must be ccoked for an extra number of “hands,” his wife had to do her cooking with green wood simply because he had failed to get up his wood-pile at the proper time. We have had to garner in a pretty big harvest this summer in Cuba, the Philip- pines and other fields. The work would have been much easier for all the hands, both at home and in the fields, if we had not had to “burn green wood in harvest- time.” ———__ + + = —____ Thoroughly Characteristic. It now transpires that the motives which actuated the Spanish officials in Havana in refusing to admit, free of duty, the supplies which this country sent down for the relief of the starving people of that unhappy town, were as reprehensible as the act itself. It was done in the interests of the mer- chants of Havana. This information comes to The Star in a special communication from Mr. A. .C Townsend, on board the Comal in Havana harbor. The Spanish merchants in the city wanted to delay, if possible, the landing of the supplies until they had ground out the last centesimo from the poor wretches {n Havana. These helpless people have very little money left, but what they have is wanted. If pro- visions to the value of more than a hun- dred thousand dollars were distributed among ther it would cut down the oppor- tunities for gain possessed by the dealers in the necessities of life. The charge is openly made in Havana that the Spanish merchants raised a purse sufficient to in- duce the officials to obstruct the admission of food suplies sent by the United States. It was a contemptible piece of business— but it was thoroughly characteristic. ——_ + + = Col. Bryan is expected to resume his tour as a political lecturer without delay. It seems a litle hard to expect a man to sub- sist for the best part of his life on hard- tack and railway sandwiches. If the prize money system is to be un- reservedly sanctioned there will be some complaint because the American soldiers were not permitted to take Santlago and sell it. >. _____. if the opinion that war is not entirely over is to be verified there is comfort in re- flecting that Dewey is located where a crisis is most likely to materialize. ———— +. —____ The fortunes of war are indeed strange when General Miles finds scantier ovation in New York city than in Porto Rico. ——+ +2 ____ General Gomez insists on spoiling a splen- did opportunity to be a great man in con- nection with a safe government. ———_ + ++ SHOOTING STARS. In Nautical Phrase. “I thought,” said the Queen Regent, “that you told me you had the throne all ship-shape in its affairs at las! “I believe i did say something like that,” answered Sagasta. “Well, so far as I am able to see, it’s a great deal more canoe-shape. There’s no way of telling how it'll go next.” Unostentatious Worth. De oyster is a humble brute. Dcwn in de sea he hab vw root. He's homely an’ his shell is hard— But he's first upon de menu card. A Futile Attempt. “Iam never going to permit myseif to do anything small again, in the hope of re- venge,"’ exclaimed the penitent-looking citi- zen. aul uch things usually recoil.” “I know it. During the hot wave I gave Skinnickle a thermometer. I thought 1 S Very subtle and cold-blooded. Now he comes around once a day to tell me how much enjoyment he has watching the necessary drop.” Characteristic: “I was here first,” said Aguinaldo, resent- fully. “Why should Dewey be considered so much more of a man than I am?” “Well,” replied the candid adviser, “your methods are different. Dewey keeps his eyes open all the time and you merely keep your mouth open.” Injustice. “Did you accuse us of being lazy?” asked the Spanish soldier. “I believe I said something of the kind,” answered the war correspondent. “Well, you formed your opinion too early in the fight. You didn't wait to see us run.” A Depressing Influence. No heat wave fills our souls with pain. The torrid and unhappy reign Is o'er. No more The pavement steams as raindrops fall, Nor thermometric facts appal. And yet sometimes this life seems all A bore. For still that torrent of advice Destroys the rest, which would be nice.

There are 128,286 voters in Baltfmore ac- cording to the police census, which was completed yesterday. Of this number 108,- 912 are white and 19,374 are colored. This is the first census taken under the new arrangement of wards. The result shows that there is a gain of 1,232 voters over the census taken about a week earlier last year. Of this gain, 1,158 are white Voters and 74 colored voters. The census of last year showed that there were then @ total of 127,054 voters in Baltimore, 107,- 754 being white and 19,300°colored. At the rate of one voter for every five inhabitants the population of Baltimore should be 641,430. The police census com- pleted December 31, 1897, showed a total population of 500,723, an increase over the police census of 1890 of 45,296, and over the federal census of 1890 of 66,284. ——_—__ + ee —____. How to Treat Anarchists. From the Brooklyn Citizen. France, Switzerland and Italy are said to have determined to arrest all the known anarchists to be found within their borders. It ought to be possible to smoke them out in every civilized country, and ail should unite in the task. Every one of them is at least guilty of the crime of conspiracy to murder, and the existence of any such so- elety is a standing menace to the loyal, the industrious, the good and the true of every |- community. To put thee all to death off- hand without any evidence of their crim- inality in deed, though they are all crim- inals in thought, is not according to the code of civilized peoples; but upon their own confessions of intent and purposes it is plain that they are not fit to live among civilized peoples, and they should be ban- ished, one and all, to some part of the earth where they would never again have the Opportunity to practice their deviluy upon any but themselves, Ex Beveridge’s, 1215 F st.
