TERRE HAUTE. IND.. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 0, 1903.

Daily Average for January

The controversy concerning the Red Cross society in this country need disturb no one. It is merely a commendable movement to make the society in the United States a national affair as it is in other lands, it at present being simply a peisonal organization which secretly conducts a public busine.-s and dispenses money contributed from all sorts of souices, accounting to no one and responsible to no one.

Mayor Steeg excitedly sputters that the streets of Terre Ilaute are cleaner than those of Indianapolis. Our beloved Mayor must have wandered far afield when he attended that municipal league meeting there recently. Ry the way, he has never made an official report of what he and Mayor Andeison saw on that festive occasion, unless his pronouncement on the condition #f the streets might be so construed.

The coal operators give forth the cheerful information that tho public will have to pay the fourteen per cent, advance to the coal miners, it being their laudable intention to add that much to the price. There is no news in this announcement. It is what the public expected. Xo one thought for a moment that the operators would be willing to give up one paiticle of their handsome profit to reach an adjustment, with theii

President Rooseveil is handling the Venezuelan matter with a tactful diplomacy which preserves the interests of this country while it confuses and confounds the intriguing of Germany. Those who prophesied that. Mr. Roosevelt would prove a headstrong and reckless official will have to revise

The announcement that the Jedge at Sullivan has upheld the notorious Sheriff Dudley in his official usurpation smacks of the suggestion that the Dutch have taken Holland. The official cabal of Sullivan county hangs together even at a lynching.

One more welcher comes whining into court asking that the gamblers who got his money be forced to disgoige. If the court finds for him it should at the same time appoint a guardian to dispense the funds in the interest of his needy-

Word from the winter wheat states is to the effect that the crop has thus far flourished and that the prospects for a large yield are excellent. This fact hasn't cut down the price of the article to any material extent, however.

Terre Haute streets may go to the "demnition bow-wows" but it is essential for the peace, comfort, and happiness of the citizens of this place that Mayor Steeg and his coterie of financial cut-throats have their salaries boosted.

The announcement that cholera has been completely wiped out at Manila is not only gratifying as news, but as one more testimonial to the efficiency of the sanitary department of the

United State's army.

The Olncy presidential boom has once more been deposited in the political incubator and another effort will be made to hatch it. If a chicken is produced it will be easy picking.

The indications are that the legislature will make a decent appropriation for an exhibit at the St. Louis exposition. The people favor a creditable display or none.

Since Mr. Bryan's little visit to Mexico the crusade for a gold standard there has grown materially in strength. Mr. Bryan is the worst enemy silver ever had.

General Miles has expressed himself as in a hurry to get Home. He evidently wants to stir up some more trouble and

get some more gold braided clothes.

The city council never misses an opportunity to give union labor a slap. Evidently these gentlemen did not tie their campaign pledges to their consciences.

The raise of fourteen per tent, to the bituminous miners would mean an increased pay roll amounting to $19,000,000 and the public will foot the bill.

It is difficult to figure out just how tlio Democrats put the Republicans of the legislature in the hole by loicing them to vote against the substitution of Benjamin Harrisons name for that of William Rogers Clark in the Ramus statue bill. The Democrat made a cheap political play in ottering the substitution and deceived no one. Aside from this, however, and "with all due respect to the great Harrison, the Republicans of Indiana as members of that party owed him no such recognition. During his lifetime he was repeatedly honored by his party in the most substantial manner and if he appreciated such tenders he did noi attest the fact by his actions alter 1892. A man of high integrity, great intellectuality, and vemakable force of character, he was, so far as his political party was concerned, ungracious and ungrateful.

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND.

Our Useful Consuls.

In the house of representatives Mr. Slayden, of Texas, made an attack on the consular service the other day, and repeated some scandalous stories about our representatives, one of which was to the effect that a consul in Mexico on one occasion sold his American flag for 40 cents and got drunk on the money. This yarn caused more amusement than indignation in the house, from a belief that the Texan was trying to have a little fun at the expense of the consular service of the old Hays when it was a refuge for broken-down politicians.

Poorly paid as it is and inadequately supported, the American consular service is more efficient today than that of any other country. The Germans have paid us the compliment of saying that it is a corps of spies engaged in learning jealousy guarded trade secrets, and from England tributes come which are more temperate but equally flattering. Twenty years ago American exporters denounced the consular service as a disgrace to the United States, and that was not far from the truth but., while complaint is still heard, they are beginning to appreciate the value of the reformed service to their interests.

In a report which has just been issued, Mr. Frederic Emory, chief of the Bureau of Foreign Commerce, says that whatever may be the defects of the present service, it is showing itself alert and responsive to new conditions. 'A most gratifying evidence," he says, "of the increasing value of the consular reports, of which there are now five classes—annually, quarterly, monthly, special, and daily—is found in the widespread demand for them on the part of colleges and schools as reference books in special courses of commercial instruction. This demand has grown up within the past few years, and In itself is symptomatic of the spread of popular .interest in foreign trade. In addition to the published reports, the consuls of late, by means of correspondence, conducted under the supervision of the department of state, have supplied a great mass of information to trade bodies and business firms, and in many acses have voluntarily exerted themselves in other ways to promote commercial expansion. Their efforts frequently elicit warm commendation in letters to the department from the trade interests thus benefited, and even when a consular officer lacks other qualifications it seldom happens that he fails to exhibit the characteristic American spirit in 'hustling' for business, not for himself, but for his country."

England With America on Monr

On the broad issue. England and America think alike. There is even a school of publicists in this country that would gladly see. the British government openly and formally "recognize"' the doctrine, and declare their intention, if necessary, to join with America in enforcing it. In all its essentials it has already been "recognized" the general principle that underlies it is fully and sincerely subscribed to but beyond that England is hardly prepared to go. Before she could make the Monroe doctrine a cardinal point, a British policy it would be necessary to define its scope with some stringency, and that is precisely what Americans are most shrewdly unwilling to do. Moreover, England, after all, is not nearly so interested in South America as is the United States. It would not, for instance, be worth her while to fight in order to prevent a European occupation of part of Patagonia, while Americans presumably would feel impelled to take up arms at once. No calculation can make the English stake in South America, whether sentimental or political, equal to the American, and it would therefore be needlessly quixotic, especially in view of her immense responsibilities elsewhere, for Great. Britain to divid with the United States the burden of defending the Monroe doctrine against the world. Englishmen believe, anyway, that the United States is perfectly competent to undertake its defence herself, and that when congress realizes that the. Monroe doctrine, reduced to its plenty of them, there will be no question of its being seriously challenged. Meanwhile, England for her own part accepts the doctrine without reserve, but she is not prepared to help in enforcing it on others. In both cases her policy is determined by the plainest dictates of self-interest. Of course should it appear that America was unable in any given crisis to maintain the doctrine by her own power, the case would be wholly altered, and England might, and probably would, find herself compelled to become its active upholder.

Vandalism at Niagara.

Lamentations come from Niagara Falls over the of power-houses and industrial innovations upon the aewiery. T'.io American side has not been helped aesthetically bv the various means devised to make the river run in harness, but the reservation of the State of New York seems to have been reasonably well guarded. Victoria Park, on the Canadian side, has not fared so well. Vociferous complaints are made about the alarming concessions of the Canadian commissioners to tunnel-builders and power companies on that side of the river. Several power-houses are being built in Victoria Park itself and worst of all, another is building in the gorge at the foot of the Horseshoe Fall. The Canadian commission has shown itself so indulgent to industrial companies that confidence in it is violently shaken. The New York commissioners have made a protest against its concessions, and the feeling is that, bad as is what has been done, there is only too much"reason to fear that worse remains behind. Another ominous enterprises is going on at Niagara. An American company is using electricity to extract nitrogen products from air Mr. Wells wrote a prophetic story that turned on the discovery of a process for getting nitrogen out of the air and turning it into food. The upshot of the tale was that the atinsphere was deprived of so much nitrogen that the resultin" cxcess of hydrogen made every one tipsy, and things went from bad to worse/until finally the atmosphere took fire.

MAUD GONNE TO WED

IRISH "JOAN OF ARC" ENGAGED TO BOER WAR HERO.

BRIDE BECOMES A CATHOLIC

Romantic Life Story of the Beautiful Woman Who Espoused Ireland's Flagging Cause.

LONDON, Feb. 9.—Maud Gonne, the "Irish Joan of Arc," and John McBride, the organizer arid leader of the Irish brigade in the Boer war, are soon to be married in Paris. The match is an ideal one, when the characters and the history of Maj. McBride and Miss Gonne are considered. Marriages of this kind do not take place more than once in a century, and hence the engagement of the two Irish enthusiasts—the one a brave soldier, the other a beautiful heiress—is an announcement of unusual interest.

Before the marriage can take place, however, certain formalities must be complied with. The gallant major is a Catholic, and his fiance* is a Protestant, Miss Gonne, therefore, is to join the former church before becoming the wife of the Boer leader. It is understood that for some time past she has been under a course of preparation and instruction at the Carmelite convent at Laval, and that next week she will be formally received into the church at that institution.

Miss Gonne has mahy warm admirers and friends in London, especially among the home-rule section of the Liberal party, who like her as much as the ul-tra-Unionists hate. her. Her great beauty, her youth and the glamor of her wealth, together with her passionate devotion to the cause of Irish liberty, has made her one of the most notable figures of the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth.

Miss Gonne inherited the wealth of her father, who was a rich colonel of a regiment of the British army. She was born in Dublin castle, and before her conversion to the cause of Ireland she was the pet of the viceregal set in Dublin society. One day she saw an eviction, and the sight so vividly impressed her that thenceforth she swore, to live only for the uplifting of the Irish people and the righting of their wrongs.

Miss Gonne, of course, was ostracised by her anti-Irish acquaintances, but for some years she has been the ideal of the people of her adoption. She has made campaigns in half of the countries of Europe, especially France and Belgium.

Maj. McBride lives in Paris. He was one of the conspicuous figures of the Boer war. He organized the redoubtable Irish brigade and fought, with Jou-Xn-t before Ladysmith. It was Maj. McBride who at the first step of invasion bv the Boers over the bordei of Natal roused the unbounded enthusiasm of the burgher forces by carrying an Irish flag inio British territory and waving it proudly above his head.

PRINCESS LOUISE ENTERS SANITARIUM

BERLIN, Feb. 9.—The breach between the crown princess of Saxony and Prof. Giron is an absolute one. Ihe news of this rapid change of things has caused an enormous surprise here. The Dresden court made no mistake in its reference to the public mood. The brusk refusal to allow the princess to come has caused much bad blood.

A rumor got out that Louise had arrived, and during the night thousands of people—half of Dresden, says one reporter—had taken up a stand in front of the hotel where tlicy thought she was. In the morning they were disappointed and went home. If Louise were to appear suddenly among the Dresden populace some would applaud her and the others would honor her through silent respect.

The ruffled temper of the people is not being calmed oy the surprising declaration by the grand duke of Austria-Tus-cany that his 'heretofore daughter, Louise. could not expect and would not receive any financial aid from him."

Crown Princess in Sanitarium. GENEVA, Feb. 9.—The counsel for the former crown princess of Saxony announces that owing to the great physical and mental depression caused by the refusal to allow her to visit Salzburg or to see her sick child the princess has entered the sanitarium of Lametairie at Nyon in order to seek the quietude and medical attention necessary in her delicate condition. Nyon is situated on the shore of

Lake

Geneva in the canton­

ment of Vaude. The sanitarium is well known for the treatment of mental and nervous disorders.

ECONOMY IN CALIFORNIA TRAVEL. A double berth in a tourist sleeper, Chicago to San Francisco, costs only $6. The service via the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and Union Pacific line is thoroughly comfortable and satisfactory.

SACK TO OLO ENGLAND

RALPH WILLIAMS SAYS HE WILL GO.

HE MUST PROVE HE'S ALIVE

It May Be a Hard Matter, But He Is Going Back To England to Try It Anyhow.

Ralph Williamson, an Englishman, until recently an inmate of the Fergus Falls asylum, will return to England to attempt to prove to the satisfaction of the British courts that he not dead. He has strong hopes of succeeding, if he lives long enough. It will be a long and tedious process, however, and as Williamson is now nearly 60 years old, he realizes that it will be literally a race against death. If he lives long enough he may prove that he is al ve, and if he dies before he establishes the fact he will be nothing out, for he is now legally dead. State Agent A. W. Gates has taken him to New York, whence he will edeportedi to his native land.

Williamson left England about a dozen years ago without telling his family destination, and during all the years he has been in America he never communicated with his old home, until a year ago, when he wrote, to learn in reply that he had been declared legally dead.

He came to Minnesota soon after his arrival America and took up his residence in Duluth. In time he grew peculiar in his ways, and about seven years ago the St. Louis county authorities consigned him to the state hospital for the insane at Fergus Falls..

Williamson has never been violent or troublesome. His manners wore annovng, but no worse than that. His most noticeable peculiarity was the pride with which he boasted of his British citizenship. He resented the thought that he had become practically a citizen of America. Any reference as to his ptrmanent res dence here was sufficient to arouse a mildly belligerent tirade against America and everything American.

While Williamson was supported at tne expense of the state of Minnesota his father died, leavng consderable property. No lint of the absent one's exstence had been rece ved since his departure from home. In regular form of law his kindred went before the English courts and had Williamson declared legally dead, thus vesting his property in his children. Williamson's interest in his father's estate revived about a year ago and he wrote a letter of inqu ry to England, learning in reply that he was dead according to English law.

This news seems to have given the man a shock. His boasted English citizenship had disappeared with the court's decree and he was truly a man without a country. From the receipt of the letter the man began to plan for a return to his old home. The propos tion to deport him met with willing acceptance on his part and he will return with the idea of fighting for his share of the estate.

Another Duel Booked.

PARIS, Feb. 9.—A blow was struck In the\ chamber of deputies Saturday and a duel will follow. Deputy Selle, who is a socialist, applied an offensive term to Deputy Lasies, who is an anti-semlte. Lasles said they would settle the matter elsewhere. Selle then struck Lasies a blow in the face. The two men clinched, but were surrounded by other deputies. Lasies has sent his seconds to Selle and a duel will follow.
