There Is in modern life, with the arov

ever-increasing degree, nut i nop never
to see them lose the sterner virtues that
make men men.
I feel that the profession of railroading Is
a fine antl-scorbutlc that It doea away
with the tendency toward softness.

SITUATION OF PERILOUS TENSION
gllsh Preee Praises the Prealdeat
for Overlooking the lacldent
Aaalogr Retweea Roosevelt
aad Emperor Wllllea.
LONDON. Sept. 8 Intense Interest has
been evoked here by the sinking of the
revolutionary gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot at
Oonalvea, Haytl, by the German cruiser
Panther and the morning papers devote
lengthy editorial articles to the Incident.
A majority of the papers agree that there
Is no likelihood of serious consequences de
veloping, but they expatiate on the omin
ous possibilities which the affair has
evoked.
The Dally Telegraph says: "There is no
doubt that Germany was perfectly within
her legal rights In sinking the Crete-a-Pierrot
and she has secured a permanent
and scrupulous respect for her mercantile
flag throughout South American waters.
No International complications will follow,
but it Is Impossible to overlook the danger
that some similar Incident in the future
may drop the spark Into the raagatlne of
the Monroe doctrine."
Will Canse n Teaalon.
The Telegraph holds that the precedent
established by this vigorous application of
the "mailed fief if followed cannot fall
to bring about a situation of perilous ten
sion. The, strict principles, the paper says,
with which American statesmen regard
Monroeism are one question, the suscepti
bilities of the American people are an
other. The latter might become excited, while
the former were not technically contra
vened by an incident such as the slnklcg of
the Crete-a-Plerrot.
The Dally Mall dilates on the gratlfylug
unanimity of tho views of Washington and
Berlin concerning the incident and ssys It
believes the German captain of Panther
haa done a good service If his actton forms
a basis of common action against Irre
sponsible states like Haytl.
The Morning Post says the incident is
valuable as introducing some necessary
limitations to Monroeism as set forth by
1 "resident Roosevelt and asks:
"If tbe punitive process should Involve
the occupation of territory for lta purposes
what would be the attitude of the United
States?"
Prealdeat and Emperor.
The Dally News publishes a striking
analogy of the personal characteristics of
Emperor William and President Roosevelt
and refer to the possibilities of two men
"of such amazing energy, who have so far
only served their apprenticeship," being
brought into "a conflict so powerful and
o piquant that the faintest hint of It is
sufficient to send a wave of excitement
throughout the continents."
"If Panther's actios w mnt s a
hint to America, President Roosevelt," says
the News, "has very astutely turned a
blind eye to the signal.' He declines to
see any hint. A smaller man than the
president would be tempted under such
circumstances to play to the galleries.
He has acted with characteristic good
sense In brushing the matter aside as a
trivial incident which has Illuminated by Its
brief flash the vast sea of possibilities that
would have to be faced should the old
world ever come Into direct conflict with
Monroeism. ''
The Standard saye: "Germany has re
sented Interference with her commerce by
the anarchlstleal West Indian blacks and
as promoted a regular and commonplace
action with the maximum of emphasis and
that Is all."
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. As was expected.
Mr. Powell, the United States minister to
Haytl, reported promptly to the State de
partment the sinking of the Haytlan gun
boat Crete-a-Plerrot by the German gun
boat Panther.' ' '
Both of the 'minister's dispatches are
dated yesterday at Port au Prince. In the
first dispatch the m'nlster said it was re
ported that Panther had called upon Kllllck
to surrender; that he had refused and that
Panther had sunk Crete-a-Plerrot and all
tbe crew-bad been loat. The aecond and
later dispatch corrected the statement as to
the crew, saying that they had eacaped.
The minister promised to make an extended
report by mall. .
Tbe Navy department was also informed
of the event In the following dispatch, re- I
ceived from Commander McLean, in com
mand of the United State cruller Cin
cinnati!: j
PORT AU PRINCE. Sent. 8.-Secretarv
of the .Navy, Washington: German gun
boat Panther sunk Crete-a-Plerrot at
Gonaivea. Crew escaped. Panther re
turned to Port au Prince. M'LBAN.
A matter stand, there 1 nothing to be
done by the State department at this Junc
ture. The official have not changed their
view that the Incident wa one between tne
German and Haytlan government and that
It wa' not our business. The Berlin ad
vice to the effect that the Haytlan govern
ment had expressed lta satisfaction with
the situation being brought to tb atten
tion of tbe department here, went to con
firm tbe official in their position.
No American Interest hsve been affected
unfavorably. In their Judgment, and a tha
United State ha not recognised the rev
olutlonst In Haytl, there 1 no on to make
complaint to thla government. On the
whole, it IS felt that the termination of
Kllllck' carr In summary faehlon may
have a salutary effect, not only In Haytl,
but alio In South and Central American
countries, where heretofore the (lightest
revolutionary disturbance has been made
the pretext for vexations and expensive In
terference with foreign merchant vessels.
Only recently ths British cruiser Phaeton
waa obliged to force the Colombian govern
ment to release tbe British steamer Equa
dor, which It wk Intended to impress Into
service a a troop transport, while atlll
more recently Commander McCrea adopted
a similarly vigorous course with respect to
this same Admiral Kllllck and It la not
doubted that had he remained in Haytlan
water he would have seled the Crete-a-Plerrot
for violation of hi warning to let
foreign eblpplng alone. Altogether these
active naval measures are expecting to have
beneficial results throughout that section of
tbe world, so far aa foreign commerce 1
concerned. .

by Casaplalaaats.
NEW YORK. Sept. 8. A brief was filed
today In Newark. N. J., by tbe complainants
In the action of J. Asplnwall Hodge, Jr.. and
others against tbe United States Steel Cor
poratlon to prevent ths retirement of 1230,-
000.000 preferred stock and tbe Issue of
8260.000,000 bonds by tbs corporation. Ths

tion'a attorney that th pult be dismissed
aa a conspiracy..
Affidavits by Mr. Hodge a to hi good
faith la tb suit and by James H. Lancaster
denying alleged admission by hlin to a
clerk of Mr. Quthrle, of counsel, fur th
defendant corporation, also wer filed today,
The brief Iliad by tbe attorneys for Mr
Hod, accuse th United Bute Steel cor
poratlen and Its attorneys of tampering
with James H. Lancaster, a witness for the
complainants, of being afraid to examine
Mr. Hodge, of Intimidating would-be com
plainants and of attempting to delay a
Judicial decision on the merits of the rase.
"As the position of these professional
majority stockholders becomes more safe
from ordinary attack, their boldness in
violating equity and good morals propor
tionately Increases," ssys Mr. Hodge,
through his lawyers. "It is becoming more
and more Important for them to stifle In
quiry In court and therefore, as a first step,
to make It so disagreeable to sue them
that they will not be sued."
In conclusion, the complainants ask for
an early decision on their motion on the
Injunction to restrain the proposed retire
ment of stock and issutl of bonds.
