Oor Wasbiaf ton Letter
While Mr Bryan has been in
Washington most of this week
and has held conferences with all
the leaders of the Democratic
party in Congress there has been
no open suggestion from any of
the Democratic nomination In
fact it looks as though the lead-
en of the party were afraid of
Mr Bryan’s popularity outside
and hesitated about broaching
the subject It is no secret that
there are many of the leaders who
are bitterly opposec to him and
who would knife him just as soon
aa some of the Republicans
leaders would knite President
Roosevelt but the man islacking
to bell the cat There have been
a number of straw notes taken in
Congress by some of the papers
most of them avowedly hostile to
Mr Bryan and through straw
votes seldom show much they
have failed so far to disclose any
crystalized opposition to the con-
fessed boss ot the Democratic
party There have been at-
tempts to form a coalition and
split the party support so as to
make it appear advisable to Mr
Bryan himself that he should re-
sign from the leadership Judge
Gray of Dele ware and Judson
Harmon and Gov Johnson have
all had their names used either
or without their consent - But
the most that the polls ot Cong-
ress have shown so far is 107
votes tor Mr Bryan and an ag-
gregate of 32 agaiqst him
The French tariff agreement
was signed this week It is the
first truit of the tariff commission
investigation in France and
while it does not touch any large
questions it will make for better
trade relations between France
and this country and will help
out Porto Rico somewhat The
new convention provides a reduc-
tion in duly on French champag-
nes and sparkling wines brought
into tnis country the reduction
amounting to about twenty per
cent In return there ts a reduc-
tion on mineral oils from this
country to France and the French
will not put in force against
Porto Rico the increased tariff
on coffee cocoa and cocoa pro-
ducts Porto Rico has built up
a geat trade with France in cof-
fee and to close that market to
island would be a serious blow
It may be said in that connection
that the French do not buy Porto
Rican coffee because it is cheap
and that they demand and get
the best there is in the coffee
line Thus it seems rather
strange that the United States
has not taken more kindly to
Porto Rican coffee but it has not
and the planters say that it pays
them much better to trade with
France in this commodity than it
does to trade with the ' United
States
The President sent a message
to Congress this week on the sub-
ject ot pensions for the life sav-
ing service Possibly many peo-
ple do not know jt but the life
saving service ha3 no pension
system and the President says
that the fact is telling seriously
against its efficiency The men
in the service are not very well
paid at the best considering the
nature of their work ane the risks
thev run Surfmen get only
about $50 a month and they are
furloughed in the summer when
the stations are shut up and left
in charge of the captain and bis
family The - President points
out that in the present era when
piivjtc employment ban offered
so much greitc-r attractions than
the government service it has
been iinpossLIeto keep either the
army and navy recruited the
Life Saving Service has suffered
proportionately It has been
hard to get and keep the sort of
men that have made the Ameri-
can people proud of the service
in the past With the immense
co'ast line of the United States
we connot afford to let the - Life
Saving Service fall below stand-
ard and the only way to keep it
np is to offer at least the same
attractions in it that are offered
in the Police and Fire Depart-
ments of the big cities
An experiment to be tried
with submarines that will quite
revolutionize the scope of the ser-
vice for these little vessels Two
of the smallest of them are to be
sent to the Pacific coast on big
transports so they can be launch-
ed and set to work without even
puttiug them together Hereto-
fore they have been considered
principally as harbor defense
boats It is true that three ot
them were sent on a ctuisc of
nearly 150 miles recently from
Newport to New York and did
remarkably well but if the pre-
sent experiment proves success-
ful the chances are that the bat-
tleships in future will be given
one or more submarines apiece
and will carry them on deck just
as they now carry torpedoes in
their magazines The Shark an
the Porpoise two of the ninet-
foot submarines will be loade
on one of the transports and sen
to San Francisco where they wii
join the battle-ship fleet au
either be kept permanently on :
station there or else sent will
the fleet when it goe3 to Manila
It has been definitely settlec
that the fleet will go to Mantl
and come home by way of the Ke
Sea and Suez Canal Thisstatc-
ment was made at the Navy De-
partment the other day in res-
ponse to an inquiry by one ot tht
members of Congress who wav
there It is the first definite
statement on the subject that hat-
been made so far although there
has been a suspicion that the
fleet either would be kept perma-
nently on the Pacific Coast or
would be sent across the Pacific
and home by the Eastern route
if it was to return to the Atlan-
tic Seaboark
TOOK HIS OWN FROM ROBBER
How a Pilgrim Got Back His Stolen
Purse in Church
From Czenstochoyva the Mecca ot
Polish pilgrims comes an amazing
story of coincidences A pilgrim went
to one of the priests and complained
that some thief bad stolen bis purse
while be was in church and asked for
money The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
find the thief "I shall go into the
church and steal money from some-
body else” said tho pilgrim “for I
have nothing to go home vtih" He
went Into the church and seeing a
man in the crowd with a wallet on his
back slipped his hand Into it and
pulled out his own stolen purse with
the exact sum he had left in it He
was so glad to find his money that he
hurried off to tell the priest and the
thief got away
