-4- The JIaine. It is no exaggeration to say that the interest of the entire country is centered upon the elliptical cofferdam which sur rounds the wreck of the Maine in Havana Harbor. Within this inclosure a tangled mass steel and iron is being exposed to view a scene of destruction een beyond the imagination of men whose experience in havoc of similar character is by no means small. For thirteen jears the question whether the Maine received its death blow externally or internally has remained unanswered The probability now is that the destruction of the forepart of the vessel was so complete as io make it impossible to tell the point from which the explosion occurred. There would be something in keeping with the entire tragedy if the secret'of so many jears should remain a mystery to the end.

It is by no means certain thatflie cof ferdam will withstand the enormous pressure which will be exerted against it when it has been emptiedi to a depth of forty feet or more. The engineers are, however, confident of its strength and predict the success of heir under taking. The engineering problems in volved, lack the romantic in terest which attaches to the possible disclosure of the real cause of a disaster which was an important factor in the war with Spain. Tight-fisted John Bull will long rue the day he paid for the seven-day circus of the coronation. The Answer in the Stars.

It is now all settled. Nothing remains but to buckle on our armor and sound the loud alarm We are to have a war with Japan. The stars in their course tell the awful tale. "A mathematical analysis of thetas- trolocical evidences of war with Japan' is the title of a gray-covered pamphlet issued by L. Edward Johndro, of Roch ester.

It is sown with mysteriousj signs and symbols as thickly as a lawn with grass seed in the spring time. Charts of the heavens and mathematical diagrams of Washington and Tokyo, William HowardTaftand Mutsu Hito, the Mikado, with -Col. Theodore Roose velt thrown in for good measure, are presented to our wondering gaze. The sum and substance of it all is thatsorae-where between 19x1 and 1915 there is to be war, spelled with a capital and printed in the reddest of red ink. If everything else were lacking, is it nor true that when California was admitted to the Union, Uranus was in Aries, and that when Washington was admitted, Saturn and Neptune were cavprting together in an unholy alliance? What doeS this prove? Be patient, gentle reader, and learn.

"Thus, both these States," triumphantly asserts life astrologer, "show themselves to pe a sometime battlefield of the nation." Throw aside all doubts and hesitate to indulge in idle scoffing.

Stall the WomeJLTetcJ So far as this question concerns the District of" Columbia, it' is not ot great importance. Inasmuch as the men do not "vote; the appeal o'f the District Woman Suffrage Association formally addressed to Congress, to be allowed the ballot is more the expression of an opinion than an indication of hope. At the same time, the woman suffrage movement elsewhere is. attracting attention.

A -writer HamptonV Magazine re gards the question as already "If you are unalterably opposed woman suffrage," he says, "jou may do welL to arrange to live elsewhere than In the United States of America, because here, we are likely to have woman suffrage with a rush." The evidence for this emphatic is found in the fact that already five States have adopted woman suffrage. Washington has lately come into line, California is arranging to follow, and several other States are to vote upon it in the near future. may learn, with profit," says this advocate of the movement; "that Australia and New Zealand where women have voted 'for many look with amazement upon the contest now being waged in this country. 'What seems most to puzzle friends in the antipodes is that any one should listen to arguments against woman suffrage long refuted by practical experie.ce." There is no doubt that the sentiment in favor of woman suffrage is growing in the United States, and it may eventually be universally adopted. There is, however, no tikelihoodthat it will sweep over the country with sudden and tremendous power.

Crothers, of Maryland, with many State and railroad officials, through the southern counties of the State has raised the hopes pf the people that section" in the matter of future development An examination of the map of Maryland shows that Calvert; Charles, and St Mary counties are almost destitute of railroad connection with the rest of the State.

Charles County is pierced by a single line running to Popes Creek, while the other two counties are pene trated only upon the extreme northern edge. This being the case, the prophecy that work will be commenced upon the Drum Point Railroad by the 1st of July is welcomed with great enthusiasm. It is also stated that the Washington, Potomac and Chesapeake road, Which be gins at the boundary line of the District of Columbia, and which now extends as far as Mechanicsville, in St Mary County, is graded to Esperanza, a point opposite Solomons Island, -where the Patuxent enters Chesapeake Bay. It is somewhat remarkable that this large extent of territory in Southern Maryland has been agnored in the past It is a productive country, and jfs property owners are seriously by laclf of transportation in getting their produce to the markets. There is rio reason why a railroad which brought Southern Maryland into connection with the rest of the world would not be paying investment The work of con.

In a resolution directing the com mittee to make such an investigation and report its finding and recommendations. Senator Hltchcd'ck, of Nebraska, said the subject of departmental versus divisional organization of the army had been the subject of controversy -for years. This brought a rejoinder from Senator Root who objected to such language being included in the resolution.

He aald that between 1SS9 and 1904 there was no such controversy. "We should not approve the statements of facts such as are contained in this resolution, about which we have no Knowieage. no saia.

Senator La.

Follette had been busy trying to get some sort of an understanding with the Democratic Senators for concerted action. He told some of the Democrats that he believed he could deliver eleven votes from the insurgent band. But It was very evident before the movement had gone cry far that there were enough Democrats to look, with disfavor on It to prevent the success of the jlan. The Senator from Wisconsin then took a new tack. He announced that he would prepare a bill making a general revision downward of many important tariff schedules, and he conferred with some of the Democratic Senators about getting support for It.

There have always been a few Democratic Senators disposed to follow Senator -La Follette. but It was plain that a majority of them were not ot that mind Finally some of the Democratic leaders In the Senate told Hr. La Follette that the Democratic party had policy of its own for dealing with the tariff question, and that It was being worked out in the House along well-defined lines, with the approval ot the Democrats in the Senate, and that they did not need the leadership of Mr. La Follette, preferring to follow, thelr own leaders. Undismayed by these discouraging words, the Senator from Wisconsin went about the work of preparing his tariff measure, which he will offer as an amendment at the proper time.

He is preparing an exhaustive speech, which will probably be delivered In the Senate the latter part of next week or early In the week following. WOMAN MAKES ARREST. Banker's Wife BrlnRs Alleged Thief to Police Stntlon. New York, June 16 Mrs. Thomas L.

June Evlyn Arthur See, the revealer of "Absolute Life," arrested in February on a charge of teaching unhealthy doctrines and living unlawfully with numerous of his disciples, went on trial to-day in the Criminal Court on a charge of having- abducted and contributed to the delinquency ot seventeen-year-old Mildred Bridges. She Is indicted by the Federal grand Jury on a charge of sending unlawful matter through the malls. On top of these indictments he is being sued for separata maintenance bv his wife, Agnes Chester See, from whom he separated in 1905. At that time they were both running a combination cult of New Thought. See in turn is suing Agnes See fo absolute divorce, after which It Is reported, he intends to marry Mona Bees, his high priestess.

Miss Bees Is the daughter of MaJ Bees, formerly a quartermaster In the United States last stationed in Oregon, and from whom his wife. Felicia Blake Bees, was separated some" ear-ago. Mrs. Bees, too, has served as "priestess" in the "temple." A third set of suits against See Is brought by Stephen Bridges, father of Mildred Bridges, who sues See for $30,000, charging that he contributed to his daughter's delnquency. and for $50,000 for having alienated the affections of his wife, Lucille M.

Bridges In turn, Mrs Bridges ias been sued by her husband, Stephen Bridges, for absolute divorce with See named in the papers. See spent several months In Jail, but was let out on ba'1, furnished by Mr? Bridges, who has been the malnsupport of the cult Stephen Bridges declared his wife paid See $250 each month to maintain the- house In which See, Mona Bees, and Mildred Bridges have lived for several -years. Bridges wants his daughter back, and has offered the girl his considerable fortune if she will renounce the tenets of See. This the girl, who has been in the custody of the Juvenile Protectle Association for months, refuses to do.
