High Honors Which Will Probably be Conferred by the Pope Before Many Months Have Elapsed. "Vanishing: Fleets," a story of "what Bight have happened," opens In Wash­ ington with the United States and Japan •n the verge of war. Guy Hillier, sec fetary of the British embassy, and Miss tforma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor Roberts, are introduced as lovers. The government is much criticised because its lack of preparation for strife. At the most inopportune njoment Japan Seclares war. Japan takes the Philip- glnes without lose of a man. The en-ire country is Sii a state of turmoil be-* sause of the government's indifference Guy Hillier starts for England with •Mcret message and is compelled to (Save Norma Roberts, who with mili­ tary officers also leaves Washington on mysterious expedition for an Isolated point on the Florida coast. Hawaii is oaptured by the Japs. Country, in tur­ moil, demands explanation of policy from government. All ports are closed, Hillier going to England on last boat. Sngland learns that Jap fleet is fast >proaching western coast of America. CHAPTER IV.--Continued. The prime minister, as if recog­ nizing their informant's plight, in a friendly tone of voice said: "Mr. Hil­ lier, I presume you are tired after your journey and would like to rest before any further discussion of this subject. I would suggest that you go to your chambers and return here to­ morrow." "What seiisd is there in his re­ turning?" came the angry question of the lord 6t the admiralty, as the sec­ retary bowed himself out of the room. "He doesn't even know, I presume, that Japan is already sending every available ship she has against the western coast of America as fast as steam will carry it." Sending an invading fleet against an apparently passive country in some part of which was the woman he loved! This thought reiterated itself through Guy's mind as he passed down the corridor and out Into the din and Movement of the street. Where could she be now, he wondered, and what of her father? Insane, perhaps, •nd incapable of offering her protec­ tion of which she would stand so sadly In need in case of Japanese success. *Jhe words of a letter which he car­ ried in his pocket, and which to him Was of more importance than the dis­ patches he delivered, constantly re­ curred to him: "It is always within the realms of possibility, when war is on a land, that friends may never meet again. If such should be our case, I pray that you will remember this, even up to the last--I loved you." In the dusk of early evening an army of countless men and women hurrying to the trams, the tubes and the buses, swept past him ignorant of Ills misery. What was war to them In a country thousands of miles across a sea and in which perhaps there was Bone bound to them by ties of affec­ tion? The United States might iso­ late itself by sea and intrench itself behind cordons of soldiers; but he would go back! Yes, he would find a way to pass all their barriers and gain the side of the woman who mer­ ited his protection through her avowed |ove, and in this, her hour of need, teemed crying out to him across the uttermost spaces of the world, be­ seeching him to return--only to re­ turn! CHAPTER V. In Secret Paths. Nippon, the home of the Samurai, In her adoption of newer methods, had not permitted her secret service de­ partment to remain in ancient form. Modeled on those lines which had made the intelligence bureau of Rus­ sia one of the most effective in the entire world, and profiting by the pub­ licity given to nearly every movement of importance in the United States, she was minutels' informed of all that had been and was taking place in the country she hoped to overcome. She had depended upon this knowledge as a valued factor for the subjugation of the American colossus, not foreseeing thftt a country capable of closing its doors to the world would also find means to circumvent foreign agents. To the last minute she relied upon her emissaries in nearly all the larger cities of America under the direction of Count Seigo. Away back in the time of the Toku- gawa Shogunate, when the almost in­ vincible leader Seigo was an idol to the youth of Satsuma to be toppled over only in the civil war of 1877, his son was being educated in a leading American university. The downfall Of the father practically exiled the lad la the United States until family and political influence had time to reas­ sert itself, when by progressive steps he gained the good graces of his gov­ ernment and was given responsible positions in affairs of state. His knowledge of the American political situation was complete and accurate, and no man was better informed on the strength and weakness of the re­ public. 'It had been largely through his ad­ vice that the dispute between the two nations, trivial fn Itself but porten­ tous in possibilities, had been used as a pretext for war. Thoroughly con­ versant with congressional methods -la the United States, he had watched year by year the qulbblings of legis­ lators over naval bills which usually ended in inadequate appropriations. Of broader mind that they, he had long foreseen that a country which had come into distant colonial posses­ sions must of necessity enlarge its B^vy and augment Its efficiency, ex­ pend money in unremitting streams tor maintenance, and 'stimulate its to seek individual excellence In J A coach at the head of the train with­ out hindrance, and rode away in un­ disturbed solitude. No one seemed j ^ them ever will have the distinction of wearing the red hat. Who, then, A cardinal's hat is coming to some one of the IS archbishops of the Catho­ lic church in America, and of this number six have been mentioned seri­ ously from time to time as possible re-' ciplents of the red hat--Ireland of St. Paul, Ryan of Philadelphia. Farley of New York, Messmer of Milwaukee, Quigley of Chicago and O'Connell of Boston. It is probable that one or two or even three of these prelates of the church will be made cardinals at no great distant date. It, however, is be­ yond the bounds of possibility that all 8eigo's Most Valuable Ally Was One Meredith. gunnery and drill. He bad observed the growth of conceit, which, like rust beneath a coat of paint, led men to believe so devoutly in American su­ periority that they neglected to ana­ lyze the actual power which could positively be developed. By a process of elimination he estimated the fight­ ing value of the American navy,, dis­ carding vessels still in service but obsolete, and others still on paper but looked upon by the unsophisticated as a part of the nation's strength. Na­ tional prowess he regarded as a small factor when granting equality. Selgo's observations had been so careful and his conclusions so logical, that reports sent to and passed upon by the elder statesmen of Japan had led them to feel certain of victory long before war was declared. Nor had his predictions in the opening events been unfulfilled. True he had not expected the abandonment of the Philippines; but he had confidently foretold the period of torpidity, of con­ fusion and lack of cohesion, which had followed. It was with satisfaction, therefore, that he observed the trend of events when hostilities were finally declared, and from the quietude of his study saw the whole country waiting for the government to act while ap­ parently it remained somnolent. The surrender of the islands came as the first perplexing problem for which he could neither account nor understand, and his activities prior to that event were nothing when com­ pared with those subsequent. He was too adroit ever to have appeared as a laborer in the limelight, and was therefore eminently fitted to drop from sight at the outbreak, when his fel­ low countrymen were leaving by hun­ dreds seeking places of refuge across the border lines north and south or embarking on the high seas for for­ eign ports. Singularly enough, race prejudice in the eastern states had never reached the point of acute dis­ crimination which made the denizens of that section classify the Japanese and Chinese in one broad category as orientals; it was therefore easy for Seigo to don the garb of a laundry- man in the city of Washington, im­ provise a pigtail, and without inter­ ruption assume to pursue this voca­ tion. Fertile of resource, he readily dis­ covered that in a situation where an­ archy might thrive the followers of the red flag would be his most val­ uable spies. Without difficulty he allied himself with this element, and gained a friendly footing with them by ostensibly favoring the advancement of their cause in Russian domains. Their confidence in him was strength­ ened by the fact that he was accom­ plished in their language, which he spoke fluently, and was a liberal con­ tributor to their treasury. 3 Having thus ingratiated himself, the next step was made easy. He se­ lected such tools from the ranks of these malcontents as seemed best fitted to his hands, and thereby es­ tablished a means of securing news that would have been impossible in any other way. From his little hovel he directed these men as seemed best, assigning them to tasks of more or less magnitude, and paying lavishly for anything of value; and to his ob­ scure place there came divers men when night time offered the cloak of darkness to the furtive. Selgo's most valuable ally was one Meredith, of English parentage, and a man who for years resided on Cross street, Paterson, N. J., that unfor­ tunate city whose very Industry and peacefulnesa had made it the gather­ ing place of the Reds. Meredith was a machinist by trade, and an employe of a supply house; so it was not sur­ prising that he brought news of strange and unusual purchases made through many sources by the United States government. In this there was nothing alarming, and it was rather with curiosity that the astute de­ scendant of d Samurai looked over these reports and vaguely wondered whether they might have bearing oh war. He was sufficiently painstaking to ask for others and check them up; but in this he gained nothing beyond the certainty that the navy depart­ ment, while existing in a state of seeming stagnation, was Inwardly very active. He made many trips to the points where these purchases were made, but found them Innocuous in so far as he could reason. As time went on, however, he found that the greater portion of these ship­ ments were being sent to Miami, Fla., and was driven to the final conclusion that if the government was active in any way at all, the key must be at the small city on the southeastern coast News had leaked through to him to the effect that the ships of the United States were scattering out over many seas instead of mobilizing in western waters. More than this, Seigo learned that in all navy yards there had been a cessation of work, whereas an in­ crease would have seemed more rea­ sonable, considering the unfinished state of several cruisers and battle ships. On first thought he attributed this latter lapse to one of the frequent changes of policy or a dearth of funds, but now, in view of these later ship­ ments and purchases, he began to question. In Washington no news was obtainable. The administration was preserving a wooden front toward not only the world but its own people as well. Congressmen and senators knew nothing beyond the declaration of war and the empowering of the president and his cabinet in special session to act for the country, and the administration was apparently doing nothing whatever out of the regular routine of business. It was this pauci­ ty which drove the sham laundry- man from bis irons and away upon a journey. His trip southward was accom­ plished with ridiculous ease. He bought his ticket to Miami without being subjected to interrogation, boarded the second-class or smoking aware or in any event to care for his presence. There were no attempts at conversation, except in one instance where a good-natured southerner hailed him with: "Hello, John! Going to start a wash shop somewhere?" nor was he In the least perturbed save on ah occasion when a rough threatened to tweak his pigtail; but aven this went no further than words. Everywhere were criticisms of the conduct of the war and imprecations against the administration. The Amer- cans themselves were no more cog­ nizant than he of why soldiers had been stretched along the border line, ports closed, and communication cut off. The cltit«aa or the country itself were as mystified as the Japanese, and frankly thought the situation a foolish one. In all that long journey down the eastern coast he learned nothing whatever of importance. His delayed train dropped him off late at night in the Florida town, and he was compelled to seek lodging with strangers or to sleep in the open. He chose the latter course, and went out below the city, across the bridge and toward the Punch Bowl, where he found rest beside the road till early morning. When the first rays of the sun were filtering through the great trees and drenching the creepers with light, he returned to the city, assisted on his way by a kindly farmer who was driving in for supplies. From him he learned where the Chinese laundries were situated; but could gather nothing whatever con­ firming his suspicions that the govern­ ment was either in possession of a plant at this point or even conducting any experiments in the vicinity. Still disguised and acting upon what had been tdld him, he sought the abode of the Chinaman, who was already sweating over his tubs, and found him amenable to persuasion and desirous of giving assistance when paid considerable sums of protection money. His horn of plenty waB a gol­ den one, but proved useless in a day of fruitless effort, his most careful in­ quiries bringing nothing In the way of return. Tired and discouraged, he passed the early part of the night in sleep from which he was aroused by nightmares of horror and forebodings of failure, his mental state robbing him of rest. In the hope that fatigue would cure insomnia, he donned his clothing and sauntered away through the deserted streets, his heavy leather soles clumping upon hoard walks and across sandy patches. It was past one o'clock in the morning, and all was still. He wandered idly along the main thoroughfare, and reached the tar end of the town, be for* his attention was attracted by a found from the water front, where hollowly through the still­ ness a steam winch was chugging and sputtering as it toiled away with its load. It brought him to a quick halt and aroused in bts mind a multitude of questions, because along the entire shore line of this great country no craft was now loading and none ar­ riving. according to his knowledge. He hastily directed his steps toward the wharves, stealthily seeking the shad­ ows of the palm trees, and stopping now and then to avoid any chance of being observed. Lying against the pier was a small gunboat of the United States navy, which was receiving supplies, and the men at work were evidently hurrying at their utmost. The vessel had not been there during the daylight hours --of this ">he was certain--hence her loading at night could indicate but one thing, a desire for secrecy. His nerves keyed up in the hope of a dis­ covery, alert and inquisitive, he crept close to the freight shed where the arc lights threw huge spots of white. So this accounted for the disposal of those mysterious orders which had been reported to him by Meredith and others! But where could they be bound? What was the destination of this ship which, even as he watched, was casting off her lines preparatory to sailing away into the night? (TO BB CONTINUED.) will be the lucky archbishop of arch­ bishops? This is a question that in­ terests deeply not only the Catholic portion of the country, but the Portest- ant population as well. Of these six archbishops who have been put forward by their ardent ad­ herents as worthy of cardinalate hon­ ors, William Henry O'Connell, arch­ bishop of Boston, is the youngest, both in point of years and in service as archbishop. He did not receive his present office until late last year, and now, within a few days of his forty- ninth birthday, he is 28 years younger than the dean of the cardinal candi dates. Archbishop Patrick John Ryan of Philadelphia, who is approaching his seventy-seventh milestone. He is 12 years the junior of the next young­ est of the six candidates. Archbishop Sebastian Messmer of Milwaukee; and when he was appointed bishop of Port­ land, in 1901, his great youth for so responsible a post led many a good Down East Catholic to exclaim, "Think of a bishop without a gray hair in his head!" He is, in fact, the Amorican church's youngest archbish­ op. The history of the church in this country can show very few young men so signally honored by it as Archbish­ op O'Connell already has been hon­ ored. The best known of the six candi­ dates tor the red hat doubtless Is Archbishop John Ireland of St. Paul, i-'or 20 years or more the general pub­ lic has been accustomed to seeing the archbishop's views on ecclesiastical and various important profane ques­ tions given publicity in the newspa­ pers and periodicals; and whenever he expresses his views on any sub­ ject it receives close attention. The long and the short of the matter is this, that Archbishop Ireland is one of the country's present intellectual lead­ ers and is recognized as such. And to say that the northwest is proud of him, both on its Catholic and Protest­ ant side, is to put it mildly. Of the six men from whom the next American cardinal or cardinals will be picked in all probability, Archbish­ op Ireland is the only one who has re­ ceived his baptism of fire. Shortly after he was ordained, In 1861, and be­ fore he had time to take up his work as priest, he went to the front as chaplain of the Fifth Minnesota in­ fantry, and served with that regiment until he was honora&ly discharged on account of illness. Archbishop Ireland was 70 last Sep­ tember, and so is the second oldest of the six archbishops. Reckoned as one of the church's greatest living orators, Archbishop ARCHBISHOP JOHN /&ELXND » I I " 1 r.yan made his first oratorical hit when he spoke before the Irish patriot Daniel O'Connell, when the latter wae held in Dublin jail by the English government. The future archbishop was then in his early teens, and hie declamatory ability so impressed the great Irishman that he patted the red head of the youthful speaker and ad­ vised him to cultivate his talent for speech, adding that by it he would be­ come famous some day. Years after, his fame as a preacher In St. Louis reaching to Rome, he was invited by Pope Pius IX. to deliver Lenten lec­ tures in English in. Rome. That was in 1868. Four years later he was co­ adjutor bishop of St. Louis; 11 years later he was archbishop Of St. Louis, and the next year he was transferred to the see of Philadelphia, where he has been active ever since. A BIG SWEET TOOTH TAKE? LOT8 OF SUGAR TO SATIS­ FY AMERICA'S APPETITE. collect from the United The Prodigious Sum Which the Nation Pays Each Year to the Foreign Produ­ cers. TRAITS OF AUSTRALIAN GIRLS Some ten years ago the American people were consuming only a trifle more than 2,000,000 tons of Bugar an­ nually. This was at the rate of about 61.6 pounds for each man, woman and child in the United States. This year, to quote the estimates of the most con­ servative sugar experts, it will require no less than 3,000,000 tons to fill the sugar bowls of the American house­ holds. In other words, the actual con­ sumption of sugar in the United States has increased no less than 50 per cent, during the past ten years. It now takes fully 78 pounds of sugar every year to i^eet the demands of each individ­ ual citizen, whatever his age or station ,in life, whereas In 1898 a per capita portion of about 61 pounds per annum met all requirements. While the national consumption of sugar is reported to be Increasing by leaps and bounds, or at the rate of about 50 per cent, every ten years, the production of sugar in this country has by no means kept pace with the demand. To-day, despite the protec­ tion given by the revenue tariff, only 775,000 tons, or not more than 26 per cent., of the sugar used by the United States is produced within its borders, and, in vie** of this fact, it is easy to see that there is some truth in the as­ sertion that it is not the American producer who derives the greatest ben­ efit from the $400,000,000 that is spent annually In the purchase of sugar. As a nation America is justly proud of the fact that its farms are so productive that it Is able to ship an enormous quantity of breadstuffs to other lands each year, yet the combined value of all the wheat and corn annually ex­ ported would be entirely Inadequate to meet the bill for sugar that the foreign tons. producers States. The Increase in the popular demand for sugar is in no respect confined ex- clusively to the United States, for the same kind of reports come from near­ ly all the countries of Europe. Every­ where the consumption of sweets is in­ creasing, and where, in 1890, a world's production of a little more than 5,000,- 000 tons was amply sufficient to sup­ ply all needs of the world's markets, the United States alone now uses more than half of this amount, and there semes to be no reason to fear that there will be any difficulty in dis­ posing of the 14,000,000 tons wiilch, ac­ cording to the Wlllett Gray estimate, will be sent to the markets of the world this year. In character this crop will be about equally divided between the cane and beet sugars, the produc­ tion of cane sugar for 1908-9 having been estimated at 7,218,000 tons. As cane sugar-producing countries, Cuba and Java stand at the head of the list, as each will harvest a crop that will be considerably in excess of 1,100,006 tons. In fact, no single coun­ try in the world produces more cane sugar than these Islands, with the possible exception of British India, but as practically all the sugar grown in that country is used for local con­ sumption, its product is of little con­ sequence in the general market. With the exception of the few thou­ sand tons that are grown in Spain, Europe--the consumer of the bulk of the world's sugar--produces no cane sugar of its own. What it lacks in this respect, however, it more than makes up in its production of beet sugar, for, while the entire beet sugar output of the United States has never been much in excess of 440,000 tons per an­ num, Germany alone makes more than 2,000,000 tons, while Austro-Hungary, France and Russia w^ll each produce considerably more than 1,000,000 tons this year. In fact, of the entire world's supply of beet sugar--now es­ timated at nearly 7,000,000 tons--Eu­ rope produces all but about 600,000 LEVELING TRACKS FOR RAILS. The Working of the Whitewash far-- A New Scientific Methoi. Curiosity is often displayed by twrtfr elers over the method employed in making mile after mile of trackage so level that scarcely an undulation can be felt as the whizzing train reels off the laps. This levelness Is malifc; tained by the "whitewash" car. The "whitewash" car is an ordinary vehicle fitted out with a sort of white* wash magazine. As the cars run over the rails at a moderate gait the de­ veloped spnse of the division officials notes any inequalities, and at each one a valve Is pressed, whereat a dash of whitewash falls on the tracks at the points where later the working gangs get busy to make things even. This homely "whitewash" car is gf*. Ing way rapidly, however, to a mora modern and scientific arrangement la the way of a handsome coach ele­ gantly fitted out with many comforts and In which Is to be found a delicate instrument. This latter is so con­ structed that it registers all uneven- ness in the tracks on paper, which has indicated on it the mileage and names of stations along the way, so that when a run is completed it will be shown just where repairing needs to be done. The indicating sheet is seat to the proper department heads of the company, and by them the work of making the roadbed level Is prose­ cuted. Railroad Has Floating Elevator. Promised about two years ago as a small concession to the demand of thsr grain trade of Philadelphia for a new grain elevator to take the place of the old Glrard Point elevator A, which the company tore down, the Pennsylvania railroad has put In service a new float* ing grain elevator with a capacity f#f handling 10,000 bushels per hour. These additional harbor facilities have been greatly needed fn transfer­ ring grain from the grain elevators at Girard Point and Washington ave­ nue to line steamships which take Ofe cargo at their regular piers. The two grain elevators of the Pen*-. sylvania railroad at Philadelphia have an aggregate capacity of 1,600,- 000 bushels. The Commercial Ex­ change, 8 peaking for the grain trade of the port, asked for a new modem elevator of 1,500,000 bushels capacity, provided with driers. This the com­ pany refused. When it hinted to the Philadelphia A Reading railroad, that company, which has made a point of promoting foreign commerce at Phila­ delphia, agreed to put in a drier at the Port Richmond elevator, which has 1,500,000 bushels' capacity. The new floating elevator Is the largest of its kind In this harbor, It is equipped with electric lights aai the highest grade of machinery. The towers are 70 feet above deck, thus making it possible to rapidly load any modern freight steamship. Thfc length over all Is 98 H feet and the depth from the keel to the top of deck Is U feet C_ "' ' Railroad "Canned Mustek The railroads of this country might well adopt for the entertainment of their travelers a new feature intra- Lc": ( V - duced by the Great Central Railroad of England.

The Stop. J. Hampton Moore, Philadelphia member of the Waterways and Fores­ try Preservation commission, was de­ scribing, on his return from Europe^ a wretched railroad in Brittany. "I never imagined Buch slow trains existed," said Mr. Moore. "They are certainly tedious to ride on. They bore you dreadfully. "All sorts of stories--very likely ones, too--are told about thpr Breton trains. Thus it is said that one day, when an express pulled up in this middle of a dreary field of gray rock* a passenger put his head out of this window and shouted angrily to the conductor: " 'Well, what have yon stopped this , time for?'

Many Australian girls live right up in the bush, or "stations," which are miles away from any town or village, and their time is largely occupied with riding and driving; they are as much at home on a horse as a duck is in the water, and think nothing of riding 20 miles or so to pay a visit, says a writer in Woman. Household duties claim a share of their time, however, and any day they are liable to be left without servants and with a house full of visitors, but are in no wise daunted by such an occurrence. Then the bush girl comes down to the capi­ tal for the season, and far from ap­ pearing a country bumpkin or a tom­ boy after her free and open-air life, she is as much at home in a ballroom as any town-bred girl, as neat and well dressed as if she had never ridden barebacked over wild tracts of country with little thought of appearances. - Witch's Comb in a Window. So many "precious" things are on sale every day that one grows rather skeptical- about them. A curio shop uptown has in its window a comb with an alliterative and alluring legend that it was "worn by a witch." It is one of those high shell objects familiar in old portraits, and though it is not carved, as are many specimens, the card excites the interest of passers-by. Likely enough some gin who had an­ cestors in Salem, Mass,, will buy the comb and proclaim it an heirlooca^" New York Press. His Only Chance. "Going to drive your automobile this winter?" "Yes."
