'Opiter per Orbem Dicor.' QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE. Has Mr. Roosevelt, the plain, mat- ter-of-fact, democratic president of the United States, the status of a king ? That the question of the hour, across the way, and it is becoming i somewhat distressing in 'view of the social events that are being arranged for the visit of Prince Henry, of Ger- many. . . The prince will be attended by a dis- tinguished company, all titled persons, and the Americans, in their gushing way, are preparing to show them ex- traordinary sttentions. At times our American cousins affect to despise the dignitics of monarchs and monarchial courts, but when any one representing the reigning sovereigns visits the Unit- ed States ther is aflectation the other way, the affectation that is effusive in its devotions to royalty. But about the difficulty that is loom- ing up? Prince Henry and suit will be in New York on the evening of Feb- ruary 25th, and the idea is to secure for them ail the boxes of the Grand opera house and give him a sample of America's high class entertainments. The president proposes to be at the launching of the kamwer's yacht, and at the grand opera house on the same evening. What to do with the presi- dent and the prince is the conundrum. "The president," says a critic of the press, "ranks as a ruling sovereign, and consequently takes precedence of in /v'clock 15 \ ra ursdey morning st 7 i E "THE DAILY WHIG, FRIDAY. JANUARY 8i. when America had a war of its own, which did not invite the sharpest kind of criticism because little or no | thing was known about it. | THE ELECTION ALL RIGHT { Mr. Bergeron, in the St. James division of Montreal, demanded a re | count of the votes cast in the late | election. The majority against him | was 649. So that the object of his | proceeding is very bard to account | for. But he had it, costly as it was, | and with the meult that the adverse | majority was cut down by two. In one poll it is declared that there | were six votes mpiore than the number ! of voters in the precinct. The ballots | were genuine enough. They could not | be otherwise in the face of the pre | cautions that were taken to protect | them. The paper was made expressly | for the purpose, and could not he] imitated. How there could be the dis- crepancy referred to, as no one Can get a ballot whose name is not on the roll, and the nushber of votes in the box usually accords with the num- | ber of electors on the list, no one can | imagine. However this difference, and | the fact that a poll clerk and the | candidate's representative were not sworn to secrecy, was not deemed suf- ficient to affect the election. The poist--the one on which great stress was laid--bhad to do with the number of people who were alleged to have voted for Mr. Bergeron while their ballots appeared to have tallied for Mr. Brunet. It is said that there were fourteen of them. These uiuke declarations that they voted for Mr. Bergeron. Admitting that they did, what then ? There is no evidence of "liberal machinations," unless it be shown that there were less conserya- tive ballots recorded than fourteen where the electors said they vousd, and even that fact is by no means convincing. Mr. Bergeron may bave Prince Henry. It the president at- tends the opera it will be necessary to arrange his. position with particular reference to the position of the prince. But on all these questions the German embassy and the American reception commission have become expert and can answer almost any - of them off: hand. However, it is not going too far to say that if there is likely to be any controversy over the matter the commission and the embassy may take the responsibility of disposing of it for the prince by arranging another engagement for the evening of Feb- ruary 25th." 'Lhe separation of the pair may be the only safe course. The prince is of royal blood, and will stand no slight from any one. The president is as good as any prince, and has blue blood of his own, but it will'not do to bring him and the prince into collision. There might be serious consequences. SENATORS AT WAR. That was wu nice exhibition which some venerable members made of them- selves in the United States senate on Tuesday. The Philippine tarilf was under discussion, and it provoked di- gressions which were attended with violent scenes and bitter vituperation, "Not since the discussion of the re solution leading up to the Hispano American war," said one report, "have any scenes occurred in the senate com: parable with today's. Even that do bate lacked the personal bitterness manifested at times to-day. Vielation was aroused on both sides of the chamber, and once or twice personal encounters between the senators seem- ed to be imminent." It is a great juny to make in de bate--from the question of local re venue and good government, to the treatment accorded to the negro at home and abroad. One senator want: ed to know if there were to be two rules of conduct in regard to the col ored people-- 'one in the Philippines by which we butcher them and shoot christianity into "them, and one in the south where we are not allowed, to protect our wives and children !"

Mauri e Loir, an ex-navai officer, who is an expert in such matters, was present at the ex periments made by Duc etet, g civil engireer, on Tuesday evening at his house, and expremed, bis amazement at the result. Mr. Loir thus describes the expeiiment | "'Ducretét"s residence is situated in the Rue Claude Her nard, over ithe catacombs. One tole phonic apparatus had been arranged the extremity of that wie being laid in the groand at a litdde distance from the surface. About thirty yards from this spot was the end of the other wire, which had been attached to an other apparatus. Although, of course, no suspicion of any trickery, could exist, Ducretet's visitors, at his ur- gent request, inspected the extrem: ties of the two wires and thoroughly convinced themselves that they were separated by the entive length of the laboratorica with, moreover, thick walls and closed doors intervening. Yet under these decidedly adverse con- ditions they were able to converse even in a low voice without the slightest difficulty. The conversation was not impeded by any of those dis agreeable noi-es which usually dis tract people speaking through ordin- ary telephones. This was all the pore remarkable owing to the fact that the extremity of one of these wires was about forty-five feet' higher than the eud of the other. Ducretet intends to carry on his experiments with energy, increase the distances and study the conditions of transmission through difierent soils. His modesty regards his present success meiely as the fust step in this diiection." The Crossing Good.
