CALIFORNIA, and in an especial sense San Francisco, owes much to the gentlemen of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House of Representatives, who have made the long journey | across the continent that they might determine by personal investigation the nature and extent of the im- provements that are needed in such of our waterways as are subject to Federal supervision. In some respects such investigation was an act of duty, and yet 1t is not one that is imposed by law. As a matter of fact it could not be so imposed, for a sys- tematic study of all the rivers and harbors of the country could not be undertaken by a Congressional committee. That task is imposed upon Government surveyors and engineers, who are especially charged with.making such investigations and reports as Con- gress calls for. That which the committee has under- taken in this case, therefore, has been the performance of 2 work over and above the obligations of their of- fice. It has been the outcome of a patriotic desire to learn clearly the true conditions of our rivers and harbors, to the end that a better conception might be had of the amount of appropriations California may justly claim at the hands of Congress. . The visit has been anything but a junket. From the time they arrived in California the gentlemen of the committee have been at work. They have made a personal inspection of every point in our rivers and harbors along their route where improvements. are needed. They have given their time and their atten- tion to experts and other authorities upon every mat- ter under investigation. Their study of San Fran- cisco ‘Bay, for example, has extended from Alviso Channel to Napa Creek, and has included Mare Islend Channel and all important points in the harbor and along the Oakland water front. The result is that the committee will have fuller information and a clearer understanding of the importance of San Fran- cisco Bay and of the genuine needs of improvement than any other Rivers and Harbors Committee that has ever sat in Congress. It is to be borne in mind the studies of the visitors are by no means confined to this section of the State. The scope of their seli-imposed task includes all Cali- fornia, and each section and Congressional district is to have due attention when the committee sets about digesting the results of the examinations and determines the extent to which they can recommend appropriations for improvements. For this careful study of our interests thanks are due to our guests. Their visit would have been pleas- ant and welcome had they come but to enjoy a holi- day in our matchless summer ckmate; but coming as they did, not for enjoyment but to work, and, more- over, to work for our sake and our welfare, they are entitled to the highest recognition our hospitality and our gratitude can bestow. e — At a recent banquet of the American Women's Ciub in London the gifted author of “The Heavenly Twins” said in the course of her speech that the American man is as good as the American woman, and that ?n her next incarnation she intends to marry an American.

Y way of affording another demonstration of B ‘the efficacy of wireless telegraphy the New York Herald has successfully operated the Marconi system between the Cunird steamer Lu- cania and various stations along the coast of England and Wales. The object of the demonstration in this instance was to convince steamship men and others of the value of the arrangements the Herald has made to establish a wireless telegraph service on Nantucket lightship. The experiments proved that a vessel at sea can send messages to land and receive messages in return even when the ship is not visible from the land, nor the land station visible from the ship. For the purpose of making the experiment a Mar- coni apparatus was set up on top of the captain’s cabin while the Lucania lay at the Liverpool docks. The battery was attached to a wire that was carried from the cabin to the top of the mast. As soon as the steamer left the docks and had got fairly into the | stream the interchange of telegrams began and proved completely successful. The report of the event says: “For several hours after the Lucania had crossed the bar of the Mersey communication between the vessel and which very soon was lost to sight from her decks, was maintained. First of all wireless messages were sent from on board the outward bound steamer to a training ship stationed in the Mersey, the Conway, and on which the Marconi apparatus had been in- stalled. Then there came a time, as the Lucania crept along the coast of North Wales, when the ves- sel got out of range, as it were, and communication with the Conway ceased, only to be reopened with a second station as the Cunarder turned the corner of | the island of Anglesey into St. George's Channel. This second station was at Holyhead, off the west- | ern coast of Anglesey. Here, at its entrance, St. George’s Channel is some sixty miles across, and the route followed by the Atlantic liners leaving Liver- pool lies well out toward midchannel, so that it is rarely that the towering head can be seen by pas- | sengers." The messages sent back and forth were sufficiently long and sufficiently various to prove the practical value of the system for virtually all kinds of telegraphing. It is thus made certain that not only will the wireless telegraph at Nantucket lightship en- able the Herald to transmit news of the appearance of a vessel in that part of the sea, but if the vessel be provided with a Marconi apparatus the captains or the passengers can communicate with the lightship and through that directly with New York. This new accomplishment adds force to the efforts ‘| that are now being made to have the United States Government establish a similar system of telegraph- ing between the Farallon Islands and this city. The matter is really one of urgency. tance to the Government as well as to the city and to It is to be noted that the work of equipping ships with the Marconi instruments has already been well advanced on the Atlantic. Gustav Schwab, general manager of the North German Lloyd, stated in a | recent interview: “Already two of our steamships, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and Kaiserin Maria Theresa, are equipped with wireless telegraph instru- ments, and on another of our new steamers a special room is set apart for the accommodation of the wireless telegraph apparatus.” Thus it will be seen that wireless telegraphy is rap- idly coming into general use. It has been but a short time since The Call first demonstrated the availability of the system for the dispatch of news by obtaining from a vessel at sea a report of the arrival of the transport bringing home the California volun- | teers, and now new steamers are being constructed | with rooms designed especially for wireless telegraph- ing. The invention has moved rapidly, and the Gov- ernment can hardly have a good excuse for neglecting to make use of it between this city and the Farallones. As one of the features of the New Orleans expo- sition to commemorate the annexation of the Loui- siana country to the Union it is proposed to erect a | monument to Napoleon Bonaparte, who arranged for the transfer. It is not easy to see why Napoleon is entitled to any special honor for his act; but then there are a good many Frenchmen in New Orleans, and doubtless they wish a monument to the great man and are willing to erect it for any old reason, HARRISON ON AMERICA. REDERIC HARRISON, who has just returned to London after a visit to the United States, has contributed to the Nineteenth Century an ac- count of his impressions of American life which are in the highest degree complimentary. They are, in | fact, a little bit too eulogistic, and the pleasure given by the praise is marred by the fact that the commen- dation is so indiscriminate that we can hardly accept him as an altogether trustworthy critic. He begins by expressing admiration at the thor- cughness with which we have absorbed all immigrants of different races and developed one people over the whole wide extent of the republic. Between one sec- tion of the Union and another he says there are no such differences as exist among the English, Irish, Scotch and Welsh of the British kingdom. “From Long Island to San Francisco, from Florida Bay to Vancouver Island, there is one dominant race and civilization, one ‘language, one type of law, one sense of nationality. That race, that nationality, is Ameri- can to the core. And the consciousness of its vast expansion and collective force fills the mind of American citizens as nothing can do to this degree in the nations of Western Europe. Vast expansion, col- lective force, inexhaustible energy—these are the im- pressions forced on the visitor, beyond all that he could have conceived or had expected to find.” Passing to a consideration of the vital forces which animate the people he points out that within a very few years the United States must hold the foremost place in the world without dispute, that our natural resources exceed those of all Europe put together, and that our social and political system is more fa- vorable to material development than any other so- ciety ever devised by man. The ingrained sense of cquality reacts upon all citizens and all things. Of the officials at Washington he says: “It is true that Congressmen have not that repose of manner which marks the caste of Vere de Vere; but the men who are charged to speak in the name of the state will be usually found to rise to the occasion with that facility which enables every genuine American to adapt himself to play a new part and fulfill an unac- customed duty.” Al of that is excellent and true. We can accept it with gratification as the observation of an acute mind and feel pleased that it comes to us from a foreigner of such eminence as Mr. Harrison. We can hardly fail, however, to perceive that he has not been either a close student of our conditions or a careful critic of them when he goes on to say: “As to the worship the land, | It is one of impor- | of the ‘almighty dollar,’ I neither saw it nor heard of it; hardly as much as we do at home. I may say the same as to official corruption and political in- trigue. Congress, Ministers, Magistrates in the United States seemed to me to be a good deal of v.h; same stuff as Parliaments, Cabinets and Judges with us. There are a few good journals; but the average press seemed to me dull, trivial, provincial and harmless, however insipid.. The yellow press, the brutal and gutter press, I never saw nor heard of, nor did I meet any one who read it. course, has the vices of great cities, but they are not visible to the eye, and they are # drop in the ocean i of the American people.” | The man who was in New York and Washington last winter and spring, at the time when the Sena- torial contests and scandals were going on in Mon- tana, Pennsylvania and New Jersey; when the com- | mittee of citizens in New York was bringing to light the iniquities of Tammany sule, and when the specu- | lations of.the stock market had drawn into Wall street as intp a whirlpool thousands of women as well as men, and who can say that he never heard of the worship of money, or anything extraordinary and abominable in the way of corruption in politics, | sive company. He claims to have found most of the Eastern newspapers dull, and that may be another evidence that he is purblind. Be those things as they may, we can afford to overlook them for the sake of the generous commen- | dation he has given of things he managed to see clearly, and feel that he is justified in his closing state- ment, “that the zeal for learning, justice and human- |ity lies so deep in the American heart that it will in | the end solve the two grave problems which face the Jum»re of their citizens—the eternal struggle between capital and labor—the gulf between people of color | and the people of European blood.” —— Quite a number of Democrats in Iowa have been spoken of as suitable candidates for the Governorship, but one by one they have declined to permit their names to be used in that connection; and it looks now as if the Bryanites will have to advertise for a Populist to make the race. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. ’ EPORTS from Washington are to the effect | R that the committee appointed last winter to consider the advisability of establishing a na- | tional university at the capital have concluded that a | university of the kind is not advisable nor desirable, and by way of a substitute propose the establishment of a Washington Memorial Institute. The proposed foundation is not to compete with universities, but is to serve as a medium through which all students can have such facilities of study as the hational cap- ital and its great governmental departments afford. ! The establishment of a national university was one | of the desires of Washington, and in his will he left a bequest for such an institution. For some time the scheme was discussed by successive Presidents, but nothing was ever done. In those early days it was felt that the country could not afford expense, and the people were not aware of the immense benefits which universities confer upon a nation. Then a time came when the plan was forgotten. When it was re- | vived some years ago it was found that the country |had undergone a transformation. The objection then made was not that the country is too poor or that the people do not appreciate the use of uniyversi- | ties, but that so many institutions of the kind have been established there is no longer need of one at the national capital. The advocates of the measure have, however, been active and influential, and last winter Congress passed an act providing: “That facilities for study and re- | search in the Government departments, the library | of Congress, the National Museum, the Zoological Park, the Bureau of Ethnology, the Fish Commission, the Botanic Gardens and similar institutions hereafter established shall be afforded to scientific investigators and to duly qualified individuals, students and gradu- ates of institutions of learning in the several States and Territories, as well as in the District of Colum- bia, under such rules and restrictions as the heads of the departments and bureaus mentioned may pre- scribe.” With that much to go upon it is fairly certain that had the committee in charge of the movement re- ported in favor of a university Congress at the next session would have granted an appropriation and ‘the long desired university might at last have been es- tablished. The committee, however, has thought best not to promote a rival of the existing universities. The proposed Washington Memorial Institute is to facilitate the use by students of the governmental re- sources at the capital, and is to co-operate with uni- versities in all parts of the country. It is oi course possible it may grow into a university after #. Wash- ington has ceased to be a stagnant town. Whatever |is planted now in that city and is carefully tended is apt to develop rapidly. The Washington Memorial Institute, therefore, may yet figure more largely in the educational world than many a university that now looks upon it as a small thing. A description of the private car now being con- structed for Schwab of the steel trust says it is to be seventy feet long and will contain two staterooms, a dressing-room, a dining-room, a bathroom and a kitchen. An observation réom will be made entirely of plate glass. Onyx will be used largely for the floor and walls, and the wood will be chosen carefully. A piano-room will be one of the principal features. With a car like that for one of the hired men of the combine, it appears the steel magnates may yet make the Van- derbilfs look like thirty cents. The recent meeting of the Y. M. C. A. in Boston has resulted in a discussion of the propriety of ex- hibiting copies of the nude statues of ancient Greek art in a public place; and Boston has become so much absorbed in it as to have lost interest in the Philippines, the negrces of the South and the base- ball games. Fortunately there is no danger of the controversy spreading any farther west than Chicago. The reports that General Botha is willing to sur- render continue to come along, but now that Mrs. Botha has declared she will never consent to such a thing it is fair to assume the old man will stick to the warpath for the sake of keeping peace at home. G 7% Carter Harrison of Chicago does not deny that ex- perience in office at the head of a municipal adminis- tration fits a man for thé Presidency, but he has grave doubts whether Mayor Johnson of Cleveland is the right man to prove the theory. i A Toledo young woman has brought suit to enjoin a prominent young man of the town from “imposing his attentions” upon her; and yet if he should obey the injunction we may next hear of her bringing suit for breach of promise. .

As might be EUROPE’S ICE SUPPLY. Few perhaps among the tourists who visit Norway for the pleasure of its scen- ery are aware that they are at the head- quarters of Europe's ice supply. To the mountain lakes of that country the Con- tinent looks for its ice. The ice is of the finest quality, for the lakes are of crystal clear water, high up in the mountains, and are surrounded by very tall pines. The ice supply is controlled by syndicates. After having been cut into great squares by plows, the blocks of ice are sent down the mountain side on slides. On the way down they acquire amazing velocity and plunge into an inclosed pool. beyond which are the ice-ships awaiting their frozen cargo. _ It sometimes happens that, through de- lay in the starting of these vessels, or the cutting of unusual ‘quantities from the lakes to supply exceptional demands, the supply runs short. Then it is that ice be- come$ dear, and even in winter time it is a luxury that must be indulged in spar- ingly. But ice is used in Europe far less commonly than in America, and a defi- cient supply does not occasion the sense of loss that it would cause in this country. @ ittt el @ PERSONAL MENTION. Charles W.

Linkenbach, at OLDEST UMBRELLA. Among the heirlooms in the family of Robert K. Thomas, of Lower Providence, Pa;, is an umbrella over 150 years old. It is believed to be the oldest in the world. If it is true, as of record, that the first umbrella used in England by a man was in 1750, this old umbrella was doing duty in the Thomas family before the first Englishman adopted the um- brella as a shield against rain. The average umbrella weighs about six- teen ounces, this one weighs exactly thirty-two ounces. It is thirty-six inches high, forty-six in diameter and 144 inches, or twelve feet, in circumference. It has nine heavy whnalebone ribs, each one- fourth of an inch square, and twenty-six inches long. The cover is.a heavy green material and there is not a hole in it. @ il O ANSWERS TO- QUERIES.

R o ODD COLLECTION BOXES To make a tour of the big churches of New York is a common thing. To the little, unknown sanctuaries is not common, but it is infinitely meore intere: ing. One feature of these unadvertis services that is worth noticing is the va- riety of collection boxes still in vogue. In no place is the old brass warming pan or the wire corn popper stiil passed around, but those Colonial makeshifis have given way to devices scarcely less primitive. The silver plates seen in the more prosperous churches are the excep- tions rather than the rule in these un- pretentious chapels. There the shallow wicker baskets stand highest in favor as temporary banks. Plain wooden boxes on four-foot poles are also frequently seen. Some of these boxes are unlined, while others, to deaden the sound of the falling coin, have a lin- ing of cloth or velvet. Cloth and velvet caps on sticks are used in several churches, and in one tiny chapel on the upper east side a plain, every day derby hat answers the purpose.
