After the Venezuelan Commission. Much curiosity exists respecting the prob- able procedure after the Venezuelan com- mission shall have completed its report. Will the President, before formally an- nouncing the nature of the report, seek the further co-operation of Congress on the subject? He brought Congress into the matter by special message, and Congress committed itself with promptness and frankness in gupport of the course the President recommended. Does this entitle Congress to still further consideration in is Does not Great Britain ex- hear further from Congress, from the President? It is insiste is is not a diplomatic duel be jent Cleveland and Premier bury, but a matter of the gravest business between the two governments in their en- tirety. pect *o These inquiries are of the greater inter- est by reason of the proposition to adjourn Congress at an unusually early day. Five more weeks, it Is thought, will complete the session. Obviously, therefore, if Con- > be further consulted, the com- t must soon be handed in, or rv will go over until next > is an opinicn that, In any event, the matter will go over until after the No- mat vember elections. The President, it is sug . would not care to make an ex- treme move except under extreme provo- cation, pending a national contest about domestic concerns. He would not be in- ed by t absurd British taunts and picion that advantages in domestic pol- tics are sought in this Venezuelan affair, but would be guided by the safe principle not to multiply active issues at such a time. Nor would Great Britain be likely to provoke him unduly. She is making no further advances in Venezuela, and will make none for the present. She under- stands that the United States has come into the case to stay until a just settle- ment has been effected, and until she hears from the United States definitely a3 to the commission's findings she ts Hkely to remain passive. Stull another point advanced ts that the details of the final settlement of this boundary line dispute so far as the United States ts concerned may fall to Mr. Cleve- land's s sor in the White House, and that for this reason there will probably be no haste. There will be no change of gen- eral policy, of course. The one thing ab- solutely certain about the next President is that, no matter from what section he may come, or from what party chosen, he will upho!d the Monroe doctrine in spirit and in truth, and that Venezuela will find in him a steadfast friend. This govern- ment has put its hand to the plow and will not turn back. + ¢ = —____ cul Politics. It has been stated tn newspaper reports of the M husetts democratic conven- tion which met in Boston this week, that, at m n of the name of William Eustis Russell as the choice of the Massachusetts democracy for the nomination of President, a mighty cheer went up from the deic- was repeated time and time hairman of the convention hav- ing to stand veral minutes before his sould be he “Several minutes” is indefinite, and it is important > be more precise Information as ferous features of the conven- which hereafter to take place. What t to Kiow is the exact duration of the yelling episode at Boston, so that there may be comparison with the other yelling episodes which may confidently be looked fer. If the cheers for Mr. Russell ex- Eausted themselves In four minutes and a half, while the applause in Illinois at men- tion of Mr. Mcrrison’s name continues for six minutes, ft fs essential that the na- tional democratic convention should know that popular enthusiasm for Mr. Morrison in Llinois is a minute and a half ahead of Gemocratic exultation at the announcement of Mr. Russell's name in Boston. It is within the bounds of human probability that at least a dozen names will receive more or less eonspicuous ovation in the state and territorial conventions yet to be held, and in order that there may be no unfairness in the records which take note of partisan vocal energy, we would suggest voic too the appointment, by the democratic na- tional committee, of efficient and official timekee Ts. —_+++____ Germans Disown Ahlwardt. What seems to be reliable information from Berlin is to the effect that the stituents of Rector Ahlwardt, the profes- sicnal “Jew-baiter,” have offered him the sum of five thousand marks to remain in this country. From standpoint of the subscribers that offer may scem to be falr, but the idea 1s not likely to be popular on this side of the Atlantic. We have already @ great surplus of undesirable residents, dumped here, in many instances, by nations and communities that used m what similar to those suggc Wardt's constituents. more such nuis to the ke be for the general good. was a neverfaillng source of disturbance end a continuing and active annoyance to people who only asked to be let alone; here he will have no status worth talking about and no matter which way be turns he will the authorities averse to his doctrines and resolved upon the suppression of any attempts he may make to achieve disorder. ——__+ ++ After what has undoubtedly been a pleas- ant sojourn among those who were his in early days, and are still his and those who knew him not years ago, but who honor him now, ex-Gov. Alexander R. Shepherd leaves this city tomorrow for his home In Mexico. Gov. Shepherd takes with him on his long Journey the hearty good wishes, for his health and prosperity, of his many admir- ers who reside in the city which he made worthy of the nation. ——__+ ++ ___ Trede Schools Are Needed. It is probably toc late during the present session of Congress to organize a campaign in behalf of the establishment In this city of two manual training Institutes. The national legislature is in a hurry to ad- Journ, and ts not likely to look with favor upon any proposition which calls for the immediate expenditure of quite two hun- dred thousand dollars, but it Is not too soon to plan and prepare for what must be ours in the near future. The Star has already pointed out the waste of energy and money in the conduct of the Public schools for colored children, and tt is sat- ised that the same argument which makes manual training schools essential to the welfare of colored children can be fairly applied to pupils of the white schools also. A census which would show the number of unquestionably well educated but wholly idle young women in the Dis- trict of Columbia would be instructive, and an analysis of that census would un- ans some- ed by Ahl- We do not want any may consent use It might In Germany he doubtedly show an astounding percentage of colored girla who have @ smattering of Greek and Latin and German and yague ideas of the higher mathematics, but who are, bocause of their false training, noth- ing more than so many drones. Suitable trade schools would surely have attracted a large number of the mistaken ones who thoughtlessly imagined that a High School course would be the open sesame to a sat- isfactory livelihood, and in place of a vast army of unemployed and discontented young folks we might reasonably hope for @ sufficient supply of educated wage-earn- era. There are in the streets and alleys of this city today very many girls who, had they graduated from the cooking depart- ment of a manual training institute, would be earning twenty-five or thirty dollars a month, with their board, and other induce: ments, in first-class homes. Other girls might have become clever seamstresses or millinera. ‘The artistically Inclined who develop skill enough to secure a diploma from the school of design would probably find no difiiculty whatever in securing remunerative employ- ment from the manufacturers of pottery, of carpet, of cotton prints and of wall- Paper. The boys, too, would have a better chance In the struggle for existence if the practical features of their preliminary training were considerably broadened. That the opportunity to acquire this more prac- tical education i3 appreciated can be proven by the rapid growtn of our ol, ar Ins which hments bli and of other cities with chor- ought, ied employes in whose minds have fully implanted those ideas which are at the root of commercial s The Star understands that ex- tremely Important proposition to establish trade schools in Washington is now receiv- ing carefal consideration from members of the board of school trustees who are sin- cerely engaged In doing all that can con- servatively be done at present to smooth the way for the growth of the practical and the abolition of the non-essential in our peblic school system. There is noth- ing revolutionary in the program—at least as the term revolutionary is generally un- derstood—for there will be no diminution in the supply of purely scholastic education to those whose desire it is to prepare them- selves for the further acquisition of knowl- edge in college or university or who desire to follow the profession of teachers in the grade schools. It is to be hoped that the work of reform—of more real value to the community and to the nation than any other variety of reform now being dis- cussed—wili be carried to a conclusion where the public schoo! system of the na- tonal capital will be the continent's ex- emplar. —_+ e >] __ Si ees as Suldiers. There was a time, and not so long ago, when Great Britain thought but little of the more or Jess savage tribes with whom British troops frequently came in contact. Nation after nation of the uncivilized was speedily overthrown and the crude govern- ments that had existed for thousands of years were supplanted by the ruling forces which acknowledge the Unien Jack as their emblem. Conditions have changed recently, hogrever, and in at least one instance the military power of England finds f{tself op- posed by those who but a little while ago were slightingly termed “niggers,” but who teday are fairly capable soldiers. This change has been wrought by the rifle. 1t used to be that only the civilized troops had improved firearms—their opponents generally had to content themselves with spears and shields and bows and arrows and other crude weapons—but today there is practically no difference between the armament of the trained soldier and that of the more blood-thirsty and much more reckless savage. Evidence of this revised condition of affairs is found in the retreat of Capt. Napler, who, with some two hun- Gred men, left Buluwayo to reconnottre, tut who promptly retreated when the pres- ence of two or three thousand Matabele warriors was revealed. Ten years ago, two hundred English soldiers would have been fully equal to the task of slaughtering twice that number of Matabele, but that was ten years ago. Even the most enthusiastic Eng- lish officer would hesitate today if called upon to attack a force three or four times as large as his own. Later and even stronger testimony was given in a Cabe Town dispatch in yesterday's Star in which it was stated that a Britich sortie in force from Buluwayo had been fruitless of every- thing but slaughter and that a remarkably large and discouraging percentage, of the killing was done by the Matabele. It is well that those who are in charge of the anti-Matabele campaign ‘are ‘tak- ing note of the modernized conditions; Italy failed to dc so in Abyssinia and the failure was so costly that the folly !s not likely to be repeated. In this country the Indian has for many years been in the possession of better arms than were Issued to the troops and In every campaign since 1876 knowledge of this fact has hed much to do with the plans and movements of those who have been called upon to compel peace on the border. ————_ + = -__ The authorities at the new city post- office building report the presence of only one hundred and thirty workmen on that structure today. A considerable propor- tion of the force was engaged in pushing along the construction of the roof which the supervising architect, and he only, de- clares ts fireproof. ————__~+e+____ If the old-line republican managers of the Senate could only persuade their nom- inees to accept places on the seal-fishery investigating committee one could easily guess the names of the five Senators who would at once be sent to Alaska and be kept there for at least six months. There ts time before us for many things and an arbitration conference may yet pro- gress so far as to discover some method for holding peaceful sessions by the Colonial Dames and Daughters of the Revolution. >. —__ It is time to call a halt.

THR WEEK, The past week has been a busy one in poljtical circles, The Maryland republican convention elected delegates-at-large to the Rational convention and adopted a plat- form, with sound money and protection as the principa] planks; the delegates were un- instructed, The Virginia republican con- vention adopted a new plan of party organi- gation and instructed for McKinley. The Pennsylvania republicans indorsed Senator Quay for the presidency; an effort to have McKinley named as second choice failed. Democratic state conventions in Massachu- setts and Rhode Island indorsed ex-Gov- ernor William E. Russell of Massachusetts for President. The Alabama democratic convention adopted a platform for the free coinage of silver, and instructed the dele- gates to Chicago to voteasa unit. The Ten- nessee republican convention instructed Gelegates-at-large for McKinley, and di clared against free silver. In the Connect cut republican convention no reference was made to any of the presidential candidates. Iowa populists declared for Gen. Weaver, and Nebraska silver democrats declared for free coinage. The State Department was informed of the release of Dygert in Cuba by Captain-General Weyler. The Senate confirmed the nomination of Fitzhugh Lee to be consul general at Havana. The Ven- ezuelan commission decided to send agents to The Hague to examine documents there. ‘The House committee on territories has de- cided to report favorably a bill to admit Oklahoma to statehood. The Senate dis- posed of the sectarian school question in the Indian appropriation bill by adopting a compromise declaring it to be the settled policy of the government to make no ap- propriations for sectarian schools after July 1, 1898, thus giving two years for the abandonment of sectarian schools. ‘The case of the United States against the Joint ‘Traffic Association was begun. Mrs. Joseph Cocking and her sister, Miss Daisy Miller, were found murdered in their rooms, over the store kept by the Cockings, at Hill Top, a hamlet near La Plata, Charles county, Md. The opening of the United States dry dock at Port Orchard, Puget sound, the third largest In the world, by the docking of the government coast defense vessel Monterey, Was accomplished. The New York assem- bly passed the Greater New York bill over the vetoes of the mayors of New York and Brooklyn. There was a riot at Cleveland between union and non-union lumber- shovers, in which two men were seriously hurt. The prominent deaths included Geo. S. Munro, the publisher; David I. Jerome, ex-governor of Michigan; Dr. Phineas G. C. Hunt at Indianapolis; he was a thirty-third degree Mason, and was especially prominent in the Scottish Rite. Foreign. The British made a sortie at Buluwayo; according to official accounts, the Brit- ish inflicted great loss on the Matabeles, but were forced to retire. The Turkish Bov- ernment having appointed a Mussulman governor of Zeltoun, the powers demanded that a Christian governor be appointed. A new order of English knighthood, the Royal Victorian, was created. United States Am- bassador Bayard and other prominent Americans participated In the exercises of the Shakespearean celebration at Stratford- on-Avon, the chief event being the unveil- ing of the window in the Shakespeare Church donated by the Americans. M. Bourgeois, premier, and the rest of the French ministry resigned; there was an ex- citing scene In the Senate when the premier made a statement confessing the right of the senate to overthrow a ministry. The deaths included Herr Ingersler, the min- ister of public works of Dentnark, and Leon Say, the distinguished French political econoinist. In the District. The Court of Appeals of the District, in a@ decision written by Justice Shepard, reversed the decision of Judge Cox in the Supreme Court, which declared the high- way act unconstitutional; the upper court sustained the law, except that part which directs the assessment of benefits; Chief Justice Alvey dissented from certain parts of the finding of the majority of the court. The Senate District committee agreed on a comproraise bill regulating the price of gas, whereby the net rate of $1 per thousand will, after gredual reduction, be reacaed Jaly 1, ii; the committee also di ed to recommend the purchase of Analostan Is- land, at a price not to exceed $75,000. Work on the Iustrict appropriation bill was be- gun by the Senate subcommittee on appro- briations. The House committee on D! affairs heard arguments by represen- tauves of the Capital Traction Company and Columbia Ratlway Company, in a dis- pute between those corporations over the territory west of the State, War and Navy building. The bill for the Eckington and Belt railway extension was reported to the Senate, with material amendments. A Proposition was advanced to the District committees to inaugurate a new system of naming the streets. There was a hearing before the civil service committee in the House in behalf of an extension of thé cvil service law to the District offices. Trouble arose between the contractor for the disposition of garbage and the inventor of the recently erected crematory, and the Commissioners took the matter under ad- yisement. The national arbitration con- ference met in this city swith most istinguished delegates in attendance. The first congress of religious education was held during the week at the New York Avenue Presbyterlan Church. The annual session of the National Academy of Sciences was also held here. The na- tional council of Colontal Dames held its annual session. Rey. Dr. Thomas Q’Gorman was consecrated as bishop of Sioux Falls, 8. D., in 8t. Patrick's Church Sunday, with elaborate ceremonies, in which Cardinal Satolll participated. It was decided to unveil the new Hancock statue May 12. Arrangements were made for a repetition ofthe experiment of city lot farming this year. The prosecution of vio- lators of the oleomargarine law was con- tinued. The residence of Rev. R. L. How- ell was burglarized, and much valuable Property was taken by unknown thieves. George Bogus, for many years a well- known merchant, and president of “arroll Institute, and Gen. Noah L. Jeffries, for- merly register of the treasury, died dur- ing the week. SHOOTING STARS.
