There arrived in New York a week or
so ago a lioness, two zebras, a pair of
monkeys and several other animals, as
a present from Emperor Menelik of
Abyssinia to President Roosevelt.
There is a law on the statute books
prohibiting the President of the United
States from receiving presents from
foreign prinees, kings or potentates,
hence It is not possible for Col. Roose
velt to accept the lions, zebras, etc.,
sent by Menelik. The animals have
been sent to the zoo In New York.
What will be done with them is yet to
be determined.
Japan has made no formal protest
against the coaling and provisioning
of the Russian Baltic fleet at neutral
ports, notwithstanding such conces
sions to that fleet must continue to be
made, if the fleet is ever to reach Far
Eastern waters. Why is this? Is it
because Japan has no fear of the on
coming Russians? It seems that if the
Japanese really feared Rojeatvenaky
and hla vessels they would lodge a
vigorous protest every time -the Rus
sians received any favor at a neutral
port. By a strict construction, France
violates her neutrality every time she
permits the coaling of the Russians

be drawn Is that Japan is prepared for
the advent of the Russians In Asiatic
waters and does not rare how soon

THE MOSBY LETTER.
The letter of the President to Col.
John S. Mosby, In w'hlch he says he
has “always been saddened rather than
angered" by the attacks made upon
him in the South, is the occasion of
anew crop of editorials in the North
ern papers on the "long Isolation of
the South" and similar topics. We
have no doubt the President is sin
cere in saying that, being half South
erner himself, the interests of the South
are exactly as dear to him as the in
terests of the North.
But because he Is sincere It doesn't
follow that he hasn't done things that
have irritated the South. He doubt
less thinks the things he has done are
for the best interests of the South. The
South's contention is that being half
Southern, as he claims, he ought to
have known and felt that such things
were not for the South's interests.
Some of the Northern papers say
that in his treatment of matters per
taining to the South he has lacked tact.
He has certainly lacked something that
has created the impression that he
Isn't in sympathy with the Southern
people. It is a fact that President Mc-
Kinley appointed more negroes to office
in the South than President Roosevelt
has, but he so managed that there was
never any general expression of ill
will to him in this section.
President Roosevelt has been ex
tremely aggressive in doing some of the
objectionable things he has done. He
has acted as if he thought that, being
part Southerner, he knew better what
was good for the Southern people than
they themselves knew. Naturally they
didn’t take kindly to an attitude of
that kind.
The prediction is made that before
half of the term for which he has been
elected is over the South will have a
more kindly feeling for him. There
is no doubt that the South is entire
ly willing to judge him by his acts,
as to whether or not he wants to be
in closer touch with her. It is dif
ficult, however, for a man to change
his natural characteristics. If he has
been sincere heretofore the chances
are that he will continue to do things
that will irritate the South, and he
will do them probably thinking he is
doing the right thing. Notwithstand
ing the fact that he is half Southerner
it may be that it is impossible for
him to get into touch with Southern
sentiment. Perhaps if he makes the
South a visit he may see and hear
things that will enable him to better
understand the Southern people,
A PLACE FOR SENATOR COCKRELL.
Senator Cockrell of Missouri, whose
state elected a Republican Legislature
at the recent election, and who,
therefore, stands no chance of being
re-elected, has a good friend in the
President. It is the purpose of the
President to offer him a place under
the government, and there is no doubt
that he will acept it. At the close of
his career in the Senate on March 6
next, he will have served in that
body thirty years continuously, and a
very useful Senator he is. It is
doubtful if he has a competency, and
it is certain that he has made no
money out of his position. Instead of
looking out for opportunities to fill
his pockets he has given all of his
time to the duties of his position.
There is no doubt that if the people
of Missouri had thought for a moment
that there was a probability of his de
feat for re-election many of them
would have voted differently. The
fact is, however, that there was a de
termination to get rid of a ring that
was believed to have control of legis
lation, and, hence, the change in the
political complexion of the Legisla
ture.
It is stated that the President has
offered Senator Cockrell the position
Just made vacant by the resignation
of Mr. Hecker, as one of the Panama
canal commissioners. The salary at
tached to the place is large, but its
duties may require him to spend
much of his time on the Isthmus of
Panama. He is now more than 70
years old, and, though in excellent
health, owing to the simple life he has
lived, he may think that at his age he
wouldn’t be able to withstand the
climate of the Isthmus.
If he doesn’t chose to accept that
place the President will give him
something else, because he admires
the man and knows he can be depend
ed upon to serve the people faithfully
and conscientiously. The fact that he
Is a Democrat will not affect his
chances in the least for being well
provided for. Besides having a very
high regard for the Senator, it is not
improbable that the President would
like to show the people of the South
that in his acts he Isn't guided alto
gether by political considerations.
Missouri, while more of a Western
than a Southern state, is classed as
Southern.
Dispatches from Rome apparently In
dicate that the Marquise des Montlers-
Merlnville (formerly Miss Caldwell of
Washington, founder of the Catholic
College at Washington), did not re
nounce her adhesion to the Church of
Rome so much because of a belated tri
umph of her "Protestant blood” as be
cause she was not treated with the so
cial distinction that she Imagined
ought to have been hers of right. In
the household of the late Pope, Leo X.
she was always welcome, but appa
rently the new Pope did not know her
as well as did his predecessor; there
fore on occasions she was obliged to see
other women take precedence of her at
certain functions. This was distasteful
to her, and Anally reached 'the point at
which she resolved to revolt. Of course
that may not be apparent on the face
of things, but that is what the Rome
story indicates.
The political contest In Colorado, K

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 1904.
A BRIGHTER DAY FOR RUSSIA.
Is a brighter day for Russia about to
dawn? That question Is Justified by
the memorial which the representatives
of the Zemstvos have sent to the
Czar. These representatives didn’t hold
their meeting with the approval of the
government. but the Minister of the
Interior, Prince 3viatopolk-Mlsky, told
them they might meet In secret. Of
course he knew what their action
would be, and doubtless he sympa
thizes with it. And the Czar, it may
be, is inclined to the opinion that it
would be better for the empire if some
concession were made to the people.
In their memorial the representatives
of the Zemstvos said the people want
ed a specially elected body to partic
ipate in legislation. Of course the
aristocracy are going to fight against
granting any such concession. They
don't want to lose any of their power
and don’t intend to if they can help it.
It may be they will get the ear of
the Czar and persuade him that the
time hasn’t come yet for a representa
tive legislative body in Russia; that it
would be impossible to rule the empire
in that way, made up as it is of so
many diverse races, with any degree
of success. They may argue that the
empire would go to pieces if a parlia
ment were assembled, because it would
be impossible for so widely separated
and apparently hostile interests to
agree. But will such arguments pre
vail? The reply to the memorial is
awaited with deep interest.
No doubt the Czar will take into con
sideration the fact that the memorial
is not offered by men who are influenc
ed by motives that are Inimical to him or
to the empire. On the contrary, they
have the welfare of the empire deeply
at heart. They are as much concerned
about it as the aristocratic class is.
They are its backbone. Without them
and their hearty support it would
amount to nothing. If the Czar is wise,
therefore, he will not act on the me
morial hastily. He will give it every
careful consideration, and will take
steps to bring himself into closer touch
with the people.
A rejection of the memorial might
provoke an unpleasant condition of af
fairs. It wouldn’t be surprising if it
were presented because it was felt
that the Czar would realize that he
couldn’t afford to antagonize the com
mon people at this time w’hen the war
with Japan required the utmost har
mony throughout the empire. A rejec
tion of the memorial might not be fol
lowed by revolutionary demonstra
tions, but there might be such an
absence of sympathy with the govern
ment as to make it difficult, if not im
possible, to bring the war to a success
ful conclusion.
It is probable therefore that the de
mands of the memorialists will not be
peremptorily denied. Indeed, the
chances are that concessions will be
made along the lines drawn in the
memorial, and thus there will be the
beginning of anew and better state
affairs In Russia.
THE DIPLOMAT AND EDITOR,
It is understood that Mr. Whttelaw
Reid, editor of the New York Tribune,
will succeed Mr. Choate as ambassa
dor to England. That Isn’t because
Mr. Choate hasn’t given satisfaction,
but because Mr. Reid Is a close friend
of Mr. John Hay, Secretary of State.
They have been friends for pretty
nearly half a century.
Forty years ago or more, when Mr.
Reid was a hard-working war corre
spondent of the Tribune, spending
much of his time in Washington, Mr.
Hay was the President's private sec
retary. They were much together, and
were of assistance to one another in
various ways. Later Mr. Reid became
editor of the Tribune and Mr. Hay, be
ing out of employment, accepted an
editorial position under him. Then Mr.
Hay went into the service of the gov
ernment again and Mr. Reid was ap
pointed minister to Franoe. With the
election of Mr. McKinley to the presi
dency Mr. Hay forged to the front
rapidly. He 'became Secretary of State;
and through his influence, Mr. Reid
was appointed to represent this coun
try at the Queen's jubilee and King
Edward's coronation. Those two ap
pointments whetted Mr. Reid's appe
tite for further diplomatic honors in
England, and so his friend Mr. Hay
will see to it that he is made ambas
sador to the Court of St. James. Mr.
Hay will then be the chief of his one
time newspaper chief.
Mr. Hay and Mr. Retd are getting
along in years, but each seems to be
pretty well qualified still to serve the
government. Mr. Hay has made a
name as a diplomat of which he has
reason to be proud. Much that he has
done since he became Secretary of
State has had the approval of his po
litical opponents as well as of his own
party friends. Mr. Reid made an ac
ceptable minister to France, but it is
doubtful if he will succeed as well as
Mr. Choate has in interesting the Brit
ish public. He isn’t lacking in ability,
but he hasn’t the keen wit that char
acterizes the present ambassador.
Six hundred thousand dollars Is a
magnificent amount of money. That
so much should have been collected
for the purpose of erecting a memorial
to a man is proof positive that the
man whose memory is proposed to be
honored held a place close to the af
fections of the people. That is the sum
collected for a fitting monument to
President McKinley, and It came from
all parts of the country. He did his
utmost to obliterate sectionalism, and
his monument, erected by the com
bined offerings of the American peo
ple, will stand as a reminder to fu
ture generations that it is possible for
Amerlcnnlsm to be greater than par
tisanship.
> In New York the opinion Is gaining
ground that Hen*tor Depew will not be
chosen to succeed himself In Washing
ton. But it Is believed 'that the admin
tratlon will feel called upon to provide
him with a snug berth somewhere else
than in the Hcnate. There Is, there
fore, talk of sending him to Paris aa
ambassador of this country. About the
only drawback to this scheme is that
several years hence Depew will be pre
faring all of his hoary old chestnut
stories with, “When 1 was ambassador
to Franca
The death of ex-Gov. Hugh S.
Thompson of South Carolina, recorded
in our dispatches yesterday, will' be
sincerely regretted not only in his na
tive state, but throughout the South
as well. Gov. Thompson—he will be
always recalled by the title of “Gov
ernor"—was a typical, old-school
Southern gentleman and politician. In
politics he stood for all that was clean
est, purest and beßt. He came first
into public life along with Wade Hamp
ton, in 1876, when the South was shak
ing off the horrid and hated leeches of
reconstruction. As the first superin
tendent of education of South Carolina,
after the-'Radical regime, Mr, Thomp
son labored to put the public schools
of the state upon a high plane and thus
aid in lifting the people from the slough
of despond into which Radical and
carpet-bag rule had precipitated them.
The impetus that he then gave the pub
lic school system has never been lost.
Then as Governor of the state, as As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury of
the United St'ates and as United States
Civil Service Commissioner, Mr.
Thompson brought to the several of
fices a clear, honest and patriotic mind
intent upon observing and enforcing
an obedience to the law for the good
of the public service. Hugh Thomp
son was a big, brainy, honest, lovable,
Christian, Southern gentleman, whose
life was an example to young men and
whose memory will be kept green by
his state as well as by every individual
who had the honor of his acquaintance.
Washington is much interested in
the rumor that President Roosevelt
will invite one or more Southern men
to membership in the new cabinet,
after March 4 next. Who will be the
Southerners? It seems to be the com
mon opinion that, in the event of a
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench,
Secretary Taft would be asked to fill
it; and then there would be left a va
cancy in the War Department. Gov.
Wright of the Philippines is regarded
as being in the line of promotion, so
that if Secretary Taft were removed
from the War Department it is be
lieved that Gen. Wright would almost
certainly be requested to succeed
him. Gen. Wright is a Tennesseean
and is particularly popular in his
state. Meanwhile there is specula
tion with respect to cabinet possibil
ities for other Southern Republicans;
and among them all no name is be
ing more prominently mentioned than
that of Maj. J. F. Hanson of Georgia
for one of the important portfolios.
Whether Maj. Hajison could be in
duced to lay down his duties as the
head of one of the greatest railroad
systems of the state to take a cabinet
office is an open question, but there is
no doubt that he is of cabinet shte and
that his selection by the President for
cabinet honors would be appreciated.
In New York the other day a rich
woman was adjudged of unsound mind
principally on the testimony that she
picked her teeth with a fork. If that
sort of evidence were to be held con

(and women) would shortly find them

CURRENT C OMMENT.
The election of Roosevelt does not
please the Tombstone (Aria.) Epitaph,
(Dem.) as It frankly says, but it throws
out the hopeful suggestion that a true
Democrat has more lives than the tra
ditional cat. "About the time you im
agine he has relaxed In everlasting
composure, he suddenly wakes up.
claws himself together and entertains
you. He did it when Tllden was elect
ed and counted out. He did it when
Cleveland surprised Mr. Blaine, and
he will do it again.”
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: "It is Impossible to predict what
wijl be the President's position on
the subject, notwithstanding he has
Just written a letter to the famous Con
federate scout leader. Col. Mosby, that
he loves the South equally with the
North. In any case, the prospect is
that this troublesome question of the
reduction of Southern representation
threatens to come into serious prom
inence in the near future, and to excite
a great deal of sectional agitation and
hostility. It will be wise, while hop
ing for the best, to make up our minds
to endure the worst, If we must come
to it after making all the resistance
honor end manhood and a sense of
right demand."
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says; “Ex-Secretary Root thinks the

Very Green.
Thomas A. Edison was one day ex
plaining an Intricate machine to a
newspaper writer, says and exchange.
"Do you understand?” Mr. Edison
would ask. And a moment later, "Now,
do you understand?”
The poor Journalist tried to follow
the swift sentences of the inventor,
but the effort was vain. Every little
while he would have to stop and say
that. Just there, he did not quite un
derstand, and then, sighing, Mr. Edi
son would begin all over again.
"I know I am very green as regards
machinery," the journalist said, apolo
getically.
"Oh, no; I have seen greener," said
Mr. Edison. "Did I never tell you
about the fireman I once met in Can
ada?”
“Well, in a certain Canadian town
where I was running a telegraph office
in my youth anew factory, with a
very fine engine house, was put up. I
visited this factory one day to see the
engine. The engineer was out and the
fireman, anew hand, showed me
about. As we stood admiring the en
gine together I said:
“ ‘What horse power has this en
gine?"
"The fireman gave a loud laugh.
“ ‘Horse power?” he exclaimed. 'Why,
man, don't you know that the ma
chine goes by steam?’ ”
He look. It Back.
In a certain town of Western Massa
chusetts two of the most prominent
citizens are a Methodist brother and
a Presbyterian brother, says Harper’s
Weekly. These are neighbors, and,
for the most part, dwell on good
terms, except when they try to effect
an exchange of horses or to talk re
ligion.
On one occasion the two had traded
horses, and although the outcome
rankled in the breast of the Metho
dist, they had met and started a dis
cussion on the subject of predestina
tion. As usual, an altercation ensued,
when the Methodist lost control of
himself. With mixed emotions con
cerning horse trades and John Calvin
mind, he suddenly exclaimed:
"lou’re a robber, a liar and a Pres
byterian!”
This proved too much for the Pres
byterian, and a fight began, in which
the Presbyterian got the better of it.
As he sat upon his prostrate opponent,
he'said 8 ’ bead against the ground,
“Take it back, take it back, or I'll
bump your foolish head off!”
** A 1 back,” gasped the van
quished Methodist, “on the first two
counts; you’re- not a robber nor a liar
but you re a blamed old Presbyterian,
it I die for it! '
Oyster Pranks.
“Oysters are queer things. They fre
quently act as if they had intelligence,
but you are too far north, I guess, to
know about that.”
The speaker was a Florida man who
is stopping for a while in town, says
the Philadelphia Press.
„ Have you ever heard,” he continued,
of the eccentric and waggish pecul
iarities of the oyster? I have known
oysters when they got into the mood
to clasp about a rat's tail at night, and
they hold as tight as any rat trap ever
invented.
“I am told that upon a certain occa
sion, when a flask of whisky was
broken, a large Blue Pointer was found
lying in a little pool of liquor, just
drunk enough to be careless of conse
quences, opening and shutting its shell
with a devil-may-care air, as if he
didn't value anybody a tittle bit, but
was going to be a's noisy as he possibly
could.
"A drunken man is a sad enough ob
ject to behold; a drunken woman is
worse; a cow intoxicated is amusing;
a swine drunk on brandy cherry stones
is disgusting, but an oyster drunk con
stitutes the sublime of inebriation.”
Lswjicr I.ones His Bearing.
A Southern doctor of divinity in New
York on his vacation was speaking of
unusual prayers he had heard, says the
Mobile Register. One was made by a
young lawyer who through Innate piety
or from a desire to advance his politi
cal fortunes by being identified with
the church, besought the preacher to
call on him for prayer in the weekly
prayer meeting. Suspecting that poli
tics and not piety was at the bottom of
'the lawyer’s desire >to pray in public,
the preacher did not call on him until
one rainy night, when the attendance
was slim. Then Brother H. being ask
ed to "lead In prayer” began his sup
plication. In great detail he mentioned
the various situations, personal and
general, in which the divine guidance
was desired. Finally, however, he hes
itated, as if he had forgotten anything
else to say. He showed signs of confu
sion, and then, in a despairing tone of
voice, continued; "In conclusion, your
honor, I might mention many other
things, but these will suffice for to
night. Amen.”

Representative Fitzgerald of Boston
has a story of an Irish couple in that
city who, despite a comparatively
happy married life, were wont to
have violent misunderstands, says
Harper’s Weekly. Nevertheless, the
pair were devoted to each other, and
when the husband died not long ago
the widow was inconsolable.
Shortly after the funeral a friend
who had dropped In to see how Mrs.
Milligan was getting on, chanced to
remark:
"Well, there's one blessing, Maggie,
for they do say that poor Mike died
happy.”
•“Indade he did,” responded the wid
ow. “The dear lad! The lasht thing
he done was to crack me over the

He heard the screech
Of a little peach
Whom he loved the best of all;

And he huatled for fair
To get his mitts on the ball.
He broke the line
Like a piece of twine.
And he crippled the center rush.
And he kilted both guards,
Ran ninety yards.

THE MOON AND THE WEATHER.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo
crat.
"What does the moon have to do
with the weather?” asked an observant
man. “Nothing, if we are to accept
the statement of men of science. But,
as for me, I will'hold on to the old
ideas. Here is one man who says; ‘So
far as science has been able to in
vestigate, there is absolutely no change
in the weather which can be attributed
to the moon, although half or more
of mankind seem to believe that the
moon does have some control over the
weather. All such beliefs, including
the time for planting gardens and for
going fishing, are mere superstitions—
the survivals of an age of ignorance.’
Mere supersitions, eh? Not much. The
half or more of mankind referred to
know just as much about the moon as
the scientist knows. Asa matter of
fact this effort to Teason the old al
manac out of existence, and to do away
with all the old signs, and oil the old
beliefs respecting the weather, is not
exactly in keeping with the spirit of
liberalism about which men boast so
much in these days. Why can’t I go
on 'believing that the crescent upside,

EXPLAINING NOAH’S ARK.
From An Exchange.
The Danes have been building a ves

described in Genesis. The model is

Oct. 20, with a party of professors,
engineers and officials on board, and
** reported to have behaved admlr

theory that the Babylonians had at a
very early period a sea-borne com

going vessel, and that it was driven

“f I®’ 1 ®’ by a storm-wave up the Doab
of the Tigris and Euphrates, into the
mountains.
The remembrance of this calamity
which destroyed whole cities, lasted
long, amd grew with the Jews into the
account of a flood. Herr von Iherlng
states that the Babylonians kept
doves on board their ships, which they
occasionally released, and thus, by fol

were able to reach land.
the biggest warship.
From the New York World.
The British admiralty has ordered
two new warships, one of which is to
be know as the Lord Nelson. They
are to be the biggest in the world.
Each is to cost *7,500,000. A duplicate
in this country would ‘‘come to” much
more, owing to the steel monopoly.
Each ship will carry four 12-inch
guns of increased power gained by
making them forty-five feet long—the
depth of an average Brooklyn house.
There will be ten guns of 9 1-5-inch
caliber, all on the upper deck, un
touched save by the heaviest seas.
Five torpedo tubes and a lot of small
guns are added. The protective plates
are twelve inches thick.
The displacement Is to be 16,500 tons,
only a little above that of the King
Edward class. Our heaviest ships,
the Connecticut class, weigh 16,000
tons. The Baltic displaces about 37,-
500 tons.
The Lord Nelson is 410 • feet long,
but much wider than any merchant
vessel, of which several are over 700
feet.
WILL SUE TO ENFORCE BET.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 17.—James S.
Lalus, of this city, has announced that
unless Director Harry Moore, of the
Department of Public Safety, shall
sign a permit to allow Joseph Dain
to roll a peanut two squares with his
nose that he will ask damages of the
citv.
Lalus won this freak election bet
from Dain, but orders against paying
off freak election bets in public have
been issued. Lalus took legal advice
this morning and found that he might
have the peanut rolled on a parade
license, so he applied for the latter
license in which he announced that a
peanut rolled by the nose of Dain
would be one of the attractions. The
permit was made out but Director
Moore refused to sign it, saying it
was a plain attempt to evade police
ruling. Lalus says the permit must be
issued to-morrow or he will insist on
his rights at law—that of giving a
parade.
RUSSIA'S RAILWAYS.
From the London Engineer.
In the Russian railway budget for
1904 the rross revenue from the state
railways is estimated at £47,300,000 and
expenditure on them, including work
ing expenses, improvements and pur
chase of rolling stock, Is estimated at
£46,400,000, showing a net revenue of
£900,000. But as the payment of in
terest on government railway bonds
absorbs annually a further sum of
nearly £14,000,000, the total deficit on
state railways alone would appear to
■be thirteen millions sterling (£14,000,-
000 —£900,000), exclusive of advances of
guaranteed interest, etc., to private
companies.
