Therefore, when London, Paris and Berlin received the news of the death from New York instead of di- rect from Rome it was an evidence that newspaper men in Europe are a little too slow to run daily papers and should all of them be as frank as the editor of Le Petit Journal of Paris, who has more than once announced that he does not undertake to do more than “to publish to-day the news of yesterday under the date of to-morrow.” —— The Knoxville man who killed his son for sleep- ing too late has subjected himself to the rebuke of a judicial and not too captious criticism because of the superlative nature of his action.

ING EDWARD has met the people of Ireland and found them as cordial in their welcome [ as those of any other part of his dominions. | Despite slight displays of antagonism here and there the prevailing sentiment has been one of gratification over the royal visit and of genuine good will to the King himself. The manifestations of loyalty have come not only from the land-owners and Unionists, but from the peasants of the country and the toilers of the cities, and it now seems the tour will be re- corded among the most successful in the history of the royalty of our time. There are of course many reasons for the cordial welcome given the King wherever he has been since he landed on the Irish shores. In the first place, sums paid as a tribute to foreign' ship-owners for carrying goods valued at above $44,000,- hospitality and good humor are characteristics of the 000,000 must have been enormous. In other Irish race. They fight hard, but they do not bear words, we have been paying tribute on a for- malice. Even among those who in times past have eign commerce amounting to more than $1,000,- 000,000 annually for the last forty-three years, and as our foreign commerce is rapidly increasing it is clear the tribute will be darger in the future than in the past unless something be done to check it. It is to be borne in mind, moreover, that in ad- dition to the direct tribute paid for freight rates there is a large indirect loss resulting from being dependent upon foreign ship-owrers in seeking new markets for American goods. A well organized ocean steamship company is something more than a carrier of freight. It helps to open new markets for its home patrons, knowing very well that an in- crease of trade for them will mean an increase of | ve ocean marine | traffic for itself. Hence an ext helps to develop trade as well believed by those who are fami of South American trade that the reason why we ob- tain such an inadequate percentage of the foreign trade of the countries of that continent is that we . ng of our own to compete there with the lines from European nations. We thus not only for all commerce we obtain to carry it on. It is liar with the conditions have to pay heav through the foreign ships, but we lose a great deal that would come to us if we had ships of our own. Another bad feature of the present situation was disclosed during the war in South considerable number of British steam drawn from trade with America to act as transports for the army. At that time not only did ocean rates between the United States and Europe advance and thus impose a tax upon our commerce and indi- rectly upon our industries, but in some cases it was found difficult to obtain shipping when needed. Sev- eral times during the war complaints were heard from s were with- Boston, Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia of a lack of transportation facilities the ocean. In that way, then, we suffered a double loss, and should any of the nations whos€ merchant marine is extensively employed in carrying our ocean com- across merce become engaged in another war we should of course have to suffer a similar loss. The argument drawn from those facts is by ne means the only one in favor of building up our ocean- | going merchant marine, but even if taken. alone it | is sufficient to justify action on the part of Congress. | We have become the greatest’commercial nation on | the globe, and our supremacy will increase with the years. It is for Congress to say whether our im- ports and exports will be made to pay tribute to for- "eigfm;s or whether we shall have ships of our own | and pay tribute to none. o e | e —— | An elephant hunt in Abyssinia has been planned by | a coterie of Wall-street brokers.

That feeling was manifest in a most remarkable way when Prince Henry of Prussia came to this country. No one here felt any loyalty to him | nor any particular admiration for him, but none the | less he was greeted by bigger and more enthusiastic strowds than ever greeted an American President. The fact that he was at once a novelty, a royalty and a free show gave him a prestige in the American mind that generated a real enthusiasm wherever he | went. | Edward has had in Ireland all of those common | feelings on his side to help him in his efforts to win the affections of the Irish people, but it would be un- | fair to attribute all the enthusiasm of his welcome to those feelings alone. He has made his tour at a most | propitious time. The Irish land bill has been passed Eon the third reading in the Commons by a vote of | 317 to 20, and it seems a foregone conclusion that the Lords will make no- attempt to defeat it or to | seriously alter it. The bill is regarded with favor by | nearly all classes of the Irish people and hence they re int a great good humor with the Government and | the outlook. Of course the King has profited by that feeling and it is an evidence of his political isagacity that he was prompt to visit Ireland while | the bill is before the country and every one is | pleased. | Finally, a good portion of the welcome must be | attributed to the personality of the King himself. | has been said of Edward that he has more personal friends than any other man in the world. Americans who have met him have confirmed the reports of his tact and geniality in meeting men, either in masses or in private interviews. In his youth he was known as a “thorough good fellow.” He has now ripened and rounded into a most courteous and agreeable gentleman. He has the faculty of pleasing nearly all ! kinds of people and has shown it recently in Portugal, | Ttaly and France as well as in his present tour. Im- | mediately on his arrival in Dublin he took the first ;npponunity to dismiss the guards that were ap- | pointed to attend him, saying “I have no need for them. The Irish people will take care of me.” That was the way he began his tour and of course it is not surprising that Ire]and’has responded. D NOW FOR OHIO. HE conservative Democrats of Ohio have Tl:«ken heart from the Iowa victory over Bryan and under the banner of Zimmerman of Co- lumbus propose to capture the August convention and make a platform in which their forgettery will be bbtter than their memory of the last two national platforms. Against this programme fights Tom Johnson, with the voluble Lentz as his lieutenant. He proposes to capture the convention by having Bryan there to in- voke the divine ratio and to put in the platiorm Gov- ernment ownership of everything in which his own milions are not invested. He will insist also that | the single tax go in and that the right of private owners be denied. We hope Johnson will win. His issues are in the air as free silver was from 1878 to 1896, and like it, the way to end them is to bring them down out of the sky and knock them out by a campaign of education.

SACRAMENTO, July 30.—The general fund in the State Treasury became ex- hausted to-day. The Governor was noti- fied and he directed the following trans- fers to be made to the general fund as a loan from the other funds to be drawn upon: From the State school land fund, $700.- 000; school land deposit fund, $68,000; State Library fund, $25.000; estates of deceased persons fund, $98,000; dissolved savings | banks fund, $30,000; making the total amount transferred $921,000. That amount of money will carry the State along until probably the middle of November. From then until December 15 of this year, when the first istallment of State taxes will begin coming in, a sufficilent amount of money will have to be borrowed from | other funds. For the general fund in the State | Treasury to become exhausted is an un- usual occurrence in this State. The present shortage of money in the general fund'is dve to the low tax rate during the last year of ex-Governor Gage's ad- ministration. There should have been about $1,500,000 more in the general fund | than there was on June 30, 1903, which | would have obviated the necessity for re- course to other funds to enable the State to run its business. —_————— Absorption of College Illegal. | LOS ANGELES, July 30.—By a declsion of Judge Oster of San Bernardino Coun- ty the absorption by the University of Southern California of Chaffey College, located at Ontario, was illegal, and the $80,000 endowment of the smaller college must remain the property of that corpor- ation. The Wecision was rendered in a suit brought against the trustees of the University of Southern California by the original donors of the Chaffey College en- dowment to annul the deed transferring the Ontario property to the university. e e Voting Made Compulsory. VANCOUVER, B. C., July 30.—The movement in Canada to make voting compulsory has at last reached the stage of Parliamentary action. A special from Ottawa states that at the meeting of the elections commission of the House to-day it was decided to recommend a law providing for compulsory voting. Any qualified elector who fails to vote in any election will be deprived of the right to vote at the next election. —_——— Vallejo Physician Stricken. VALLEJO, July 30.—Just before noon to-day Dr. W.

D T i B e e e e e among his political enemies, expresses his belief that Clark may re-enter the contest the coming fall. If this should prove true the Democratic and Republi- can candidates will have an interesting | fight on their hands, since Clark has the | * administration following with him. For minor offices there does not seem | much prospect of lively contests. It is| believed that Captain J. D. Young will | be re-elected City Assessor and J. Ellas | Gavan City Collector. Both are extreme- ly popular. Mr. Gavan has made a splen- | did record, and as the position is one which demands a high order of ability it | is thought that he will have no trouble to | secure renomination and election. | The unfortunate condition of affairs in the Second Ward still exists, there being no representation of that ward in the Board of Trustees, although important | measures are constantly coming before | the board for adjustment. Under a cer- | tain contingency Mayor Clark would have | the power to appoint a Trustee from that ward. He has expressed himself gs will- | ing to appoint any man who may be agreeable to the residents of the ward, | and it is not improbable that on his re- | turn from the East he will be asked to take action in the matter. o OCEAN’S BOTTOM CHANGES IN VICINITY OF HONOLULU | Soundings Show Difference of Eight | Fathoms From Depth Shown on Chart. HONOLULU, July 24.—When the Young | brothers were out in one of their launches | crulsing about Diamond Head a few days | ago they took soundings at a place which | was marked on the charts at 28 fathoms | and were naturally very much surfrised | to find that the lead registered but twenty fathoms. They began to wonder if some mistake had not been made and so started | to cruise over that portion which was set | down on the charts at 28 fathoms. It was invariably the same thing. The lead kept showing twenty fathoms or a slight varia- | tion. Sifce the bottom where the sound- | ings were taken is sandy the filling in theory is untenable, so that the only theory left is that the bottom of the sea | at the place indicated has been heaved up eight fathoms toward the surface of the water by voleanic action. —_——— The wool on the back of a sheep is a | shepherd’s barometer.

NEW CUSTOMS REGULATIONS ARE ANNOYING If the passengers that arrived on the Ventura were Indignant at the new method of administering the United States customs at Homolulu, those that reached here yesterday on the Siberia were boiling over with wrath. Such an impreasion did the Treasury Department’s latest rule make that a petition of pro- test, addressed to the world at large, was prepared and signed by all on board. Among the signers were travelers of all degrees—globetrotters of many national- fties, distinguished members of the Unit- ed States and foreign land and sea mili- tary services, high officials of this and other Governments, and local residents returning from holiday tours in the Ori- t. e“Apart from the fact that the new regu- lation curtails the traveler's visit to Honolulu, it also works a serious physical hardship. The trunks containing the warm clothing necessary here and for several days before reaching this port are sealed up at Honolulu. The passengers have the option while there and before the seals are affixed of taking out a sup- ply of heavy wearing apparel. The Si- Dberia is a large vessel, but the staterooms are no more commodious than usual, and when three people share one room the fewer clothes they have the better for everybody’s comfort. The weather at Honolulu is too warm for the immediate transfer from duck and flannel to tweeds th and serges, so the passenger has cheice of retaining his comfort clothes and littering his room with win wear for use later on; of changing at once to heavy garb and sweltering for the sake of future comfort, or of retaining his light clothes, leaving his warmer suits in the sealed up trunks and taking a chance with pneumonia as the liner nears the coast. Lieutenant Kitchener of the British navy and a nephew of the famous Sir signed the protest, but In speaking of matier yesterday he said: I want to say ome thing about thAt protest 1 signed it, and I think we have a just griev ance. The chap that wrote it. however, wen iittle too far whea he called those Honol inspectors jackals. They were nothing of sort. The impression they made o a set of very good fellows, 4 the absurdity of this new law wever, compelled them t rike out the jackal as fa: carry out. as I am concerned The petition is as follows: We, the undersigned, per steamship Siberia trom China and Japan for S8an Francisco, Honolulu, would thank you to inform the pr lic of the latest and most atrocious outrage ever perpetrated on the passengers and under the instructions of the Secretary of the Trea. ury. The Siberia called at Honolulu to discharge some cargo, land a few passengers and receiv passengers for San Francisco. As #oon as the health officers came on board a squad of ( tom-bouse officers followed, and, With the ception of three or four, they looked and a 1ike a lot of jackals. The passengers from China, Japan Philippines were ordered to get their ready for insvection, aithough bound Francisco, and still six days to sall for that rt. They were also notified that what baggaz® | they had in the baggage-room could mot be touched and all would be sealed in the hold In_fact, it was simply seized! The baggage in the rooms was examined ar the owners wers dictated to as to how mar shirts. collars, etc., they could retain. All t rest must be bundied up and sent to_the hoid and sealed up. One gentleman, who had live for ssveral years in Japan. had six suits pajamas. The custom officers said, “You only have ome,” and bundled tke remat suits into_the hold. This was only obe I stance. The clothing was taken from rooms and was rolled up and tied in any fas jon—some In paper, some in nothing—and n lies in the lower hold: no receipt given for it What condition it will be returned in can be imagined. Men and women who have been living and traveling in a tropical climate and were cloth in duck and flanmels had their heavy cloth sealed up, and many serious cases of sick re sure o arise before landing in San F' sco. ve do not believe there is any law in the United States that permits the Secretary of the Treasury to use such high-handed meas- ures, and trust that the Secretary has made a mistake by being misled by some overzealous custom-hcuse official The foreigners were treated in the same way as Americans, although most of their way to Europe via the U They one and all declared that never travel via San Franeisco again . is also the determination of two-thirds of the Americans on board.
