Henlden, tho Cicrmnn iuiuihcs have become tired of paylne elRht cents a pound for their iuimr when the export price nt the whnrf at HamhurB Is a little over two ccnta a pound. It Brieves the Germans that what Is a cheap article of with the people of the United States nnd Great Hrltaln has been made for them n dear luxury by the arbitrary operation of tho bounty law. Of the favorable action of Germany, and HclBlum, on tho rctxnl of the sugar bounties, there may be little cause for doubt: but what wanri. win do Is not cleur. Fiance Is the starllnB Place of the sugar bounty. and althouBh the French conBumcrs par more for their URar than the Germans, then. Is a powerful UBrlculturnl interest In favor of keeping up the bounties. The protectionist ministry has Just been sustained nt the elections, In larBC degree by the votes of the farmers. On this account tho ministry may well be loath to encounter a large body of Its supporters on this question In the Chamber of Deputies, nnd may llnd some reason for postponing Its consideration, lvcn thoueh repeal of the hukiii bounties should be pressed, ns a Ministerial measure which would save a large sum In the overburdened French budget. It might not give tho ultra protectionists under the lead of M. Mellne much trouble to muster a majority In the Chamber against It. Rather than take the risk of overthrow on such n question the Ministers would bo likely to Indefinitely postpone the repeal of tho sugar bounties. 1 SEISMIC CALIFORNIA. It Is not so very long ago that nnd volcanoes played havoc with California. When Commodore Stockton unchored In San Frnncibco bay, In 1846, old l'ablo, an Indian, told him that in the days of his grandfather, the Golden Gate was split open by a grent shock, letting the waters of the xen flow Into tho valley of the Sacramento. Uefore that time, said the the river entered the sea somewhere beyond tho San Jose mission. There were scientists on board the who wanted to know whether this story couiu ue conurinuu uy mu of tho rocks, and, on looking at the mighty cleavage of the Gate, they decided that the opening was of comparatively late origin. Tho fact recalled to them that Sir Francis Drake could not find any bay where Is now tho port of San Francisco and was forced to content himself with entering Half Moon bay, a little distance to wno pldc. At a later time scientific men found the old bed of the near San Jose nnd also made up their minds that the lslunds In San Francisco bay were tho ciests of submerged hills. John Mulr, than whom no one better knows the California mountains, thinks that the cinder cones of I.assen were In active eruption about one hundred or one hundred and fifty years ago. He JudgCB by the ago of trees growing lu the craters together with the fact that the 1I river Indians date the their traditions graphically describe some four generations ini' If we accept the view that volcanic prunt ons are sometimes cuuseu "J ..i..mi.,i nrtinna ihm Is cood reason to do so then It follows thnt lu tint vot nut of dancer.

The Hoynl troops paraded and n fine show they gave It was nlso the custom for the Jlplomntlc and consular corps to attend the literary exercises.

In 1900 the town wns Just getting over the plnguc and tho fire. Last yenr there was no set program, except In aquatics, though the Fourth was not wholly nnrcd In other ways. This was a bit, surprising to old-timers who felt that, In the presence nf so mnny new-corn- ers, who were strenuous to American- I Ise the group, tlie onscrvanco oi me Fourth would nchlevu grent things. Still, everything comes to him who wnlts nt the common pnth, nnd now we see both knmaalna nnd mnllhlnl united In the effort to not only restore but eclipse the pnst glories of the Fourth, THE TERRITORIAL FLAG. This paper hns received from Mr, J. J. Wieke a sketch nf a Territorial Mag which, in his view, Hnwull may properly adopt. It is a handsome ensign, the corner being occupied by a black field upon which Is the American shield surrounded by eight stars In striking and picturesque array. The Htrlnes are twelve In number, black, wlilln nnd red. The new nng, writes Mr. Wlcke, "represents the old nnd the , new Hawaiian Hog and the colors or ....... vi' i lining i.iiv. .....w.

That it should be kept, as n sign of historical continuity, nnd because it belongs here and Is of native origin, Is n fact which few people will care to dispute'. CABLE HUMORS. The sto'ry about the Ilrltlsh cable coming here from Fanning Island Is not a new one, fresh In the Inst coast mail. It was brought Here some time ago by the Mlowera and printed In the Advertiser. Our final advices were that the New Zealand minister having cable matters in charge wan Inclined to wult, before doing anything, nnd see whnt there mlcht be In wireless rnnhr. He had It from I.ord Kelvin that a wireless service over 1000 miles I of sea, the distance between Fanning Island and this group, would be practicable. Wo are much Inclined to think that the Ilrltlsh cable will come here tn course of time. It Is a long stretch from Fanning Island to Ilrltlsh Columbia nnd a brenk In the main line may be of frequent occurrence. In that event, or even In thnt possibility, a connection with the Mackay cable would be well worth while. In time of ,vur It might become Indispensable.

The red nfterglow In the West is 1 supposed to have been caused by some volcnnlo eruption which hns filled the higher atmosphere with dust that, under the sun's slanting rays, takes on a crimson hue. The theory rests upon the Krakatoa demonstration of many j ears ago. It may be that the dust Is from Mount Pelce In Martinique, as that from Krakatoa encircled th globe and was eclentlllrally observed In Hongkong, Calcutta, Constantinople, London, New York and Ban Francisco.

It was the presence of a hot spring In the crater of an old volcano of Japan, supposedly extinct, which led Prof. Milne to warn the public that the mountain wus. not dead. The next yenr Its cap blew off, destroying three townships. Shasta, the great, snow-clad peak In northern California, has a warm spring Itr the crater; but it la a great while since lava came from that mountain. When it did, however, places foity miles uway got more than their tihare of It. In the southern part of tho State signs of volcanic action abound, espe daily In Inyo county where the earth- uuaKeB or mi were so puye.eiy leu. The Colorado desert, where the remains of a whale were found tho other nay, w;m raised bodily abate the waters that once covered It. Sea shells aru scattered on Its sandy surface. A little further south, In Mexican California, there Is a large area of active mud geysers nnd bubbling Inky lakes. So it Is far from certain that California, which now has nothing worse than eartnquaKes to coniena wnn, may not one day see an ancient crater re- EUine business. Perhaps such a thing, assuming no catastrophe to follow, would be a gain; ror cicariy, tne imprisoned gaees under California, and which give it so many seismic shocks, need a vent such aa an active volcano only can provide. 4 The fact that dumb brutes knew what was coming at Martinique is no means unprecedented. Many a outburst haa been preceded by commotion among the beasts of tho ndd and farm. One who has lived any length of time In an earthquake country has noticed the restlessness ot dogs and cattlo before a shock and the com- plete alienee ot birds, frogs and other trurts.
