That alleged “promise” by Speaker Reed To mag- un- an cious management and by a proper atten- tion from the government until there are several plants capable of enormous pro- duction inaividually and sufficient in the aggregate to supply the world’s demand on a pinch. Contracts for steel products for foreign firms and governments have been granted to American firms during the past few years with increasing frequency until the English steel makers are appre- hensive of a material loss of trade even from their own country. The shrewd buy- er seeks the best goods for the lowest price. The energetic government looks first at the quality, relegating the consid- eration of price to the rear. In preparing for either offensive or defensive warfare no nation can afford to be stingy. The broadest economy lies in the direction of Lberality. The American output, both in Taw materials and the finished product, such as the Oregon, is today regarded as both superior in quality and economical in price. American manufacturers are not only excelling their competitors in the re- liability of their goods, but they are under- bidding them in open competition. These conditions will perhaps result sooner or later in a reaction more favorable to Europe. The manufacturers on the other side may learn lessons from this drift of the world’s trade to this continent. But there is no reason to fear that we will lose the world’s market as long as the present high standards are maintained. With the United States sending steel rails to all quarters of the globe and building the warships and armor and guns and projectiles for many nations {t will soon become plain to the “powers” that they can no longer cast up their reckonings without close reference to Uncle Sam. —eo—____. Let Carranza Stay. The government should by no means utilize Carranza’s letter, so skillfully “ab- stracted” from his house in Montreal, as a basis of a complaint to England to se- cure the eviction of self and his asso- ciates. Rather should every effort be made to ensure his continued preserce in Canada, The administration ought to put forth all its energies to make his stay so comforta- ble that he will proceed along the enter- taining and instructive hne he has thus far followed. He should be made to feel so easy in his mind about the intentions of the t ates that he will go on un- interruptedly writing letters home and re- ceiving would-be tenants on his premise: re in some of their highest importance.

It means that Hawi upon the conference on th war bill, and that it is to be held back until those days when, according to thé clear of the and the Sugar Trust, the dispo ijourn for the | Session may be expected to overcome all obstaces and lead to a prompt dissolution of Congress. Hawaiian annexation should be taken up without the siightest reference to any other me: its importance gives it the right of way before everything else now pending, save. of course, the revi bill. The threat @f adjournment should not discourage the friends of annexation. There is no more in that threat than they themselves permit If thy are staunch and resolute th prevent adjournment until their purpose fulfilled. With the President strongly sym- pathetic indeed, anxious for action the bogie of adjournment need not frighter them. Indeed, this very threat of adjournment may be used to the advantage of annexa- tion if its friends are steadfast. As the summer days go by and the political rea sons for a dissolution of the session accu and, mulate the argument for action will grow in force. The pen: ition will upon the shoulders of thoso stand in the way of unton. The nsibility will surely become too great for further endurance. All depends upon the ion.

It is not pleasant now to entertain the suspicion which has drifted this way from Santiago that Admiral Cervera has spoiled the record of his gallant act in his humane | treatment of Hobson and his men by order- ing them to be confired, while awaiting ex change, in Morre Castle, at the entrance of the harbor. Morro Castle is in the di- rect line of fire from the sea. Indeed, it is practically the first target. It constitutes one of the chief defenses of the city, and in ordinary circumstances would be first ‘o fail in a bombardment. But with eight American prisoners confined there it can- not in reason be included among the ob- jects of attack in any general assault upon the def: Orders have been given, it is stated, to spare this point if the harbor batteries should ke shelled. This gives the Spaniards a material advantage, enabling them to maintain the fire on the ships from this fortification without running any risk of its demolition. It is to be hoped in view of this fact that the preparations for ex- changing the prisoners will proceed rapidly, and meanwhile it is a cause for regret tha: the general admiration for Cervera awak- ened by his courteous action should be tempered by a refiection upon what the of- ficers of the fleet now term “‘an act of thir- teenth-century cruelty.” ——++e—____ Don’t Forget Powell. When the souvenir spoons are being passed around to commemorate the sinking of the Merrimac Naval Cadet Powell, who commanded the steam launch that lay ont- side of the harbor waiting for Hobson and his men, should not be forgotten. Indeed, in some respects this work was as daringly dene as was that of the men on the collier. ‘They were in peril for a longer period, and were under fire more than once. The ish accounts of the affair state that the Merrimac was sunk by the fire from the forts, and that one of the American cruis- ers that attempted to follow her had been driven off. Tais doubtless refers to the am launch, which was the only other craft in the immediate neighborhood. Powell's errand was fuiile, but it bravely performed, neverthele: —— wee The manner in which Spanish posses- sions have deteric:ated under a “strong” form of government should be an e: nses. was sour- ment to substitute the more liberal ideas of Americanism. toe resident Cleveland is not without ciaim to consideration as a valorous gentle- man.

Washington Dispateh to the Philadelphia Press, declaration that the resolu- 13 a up this week fs majority of the re- nxious to vote for an- a good deal of indigna- tion being expressed at the delay, and the idea is gaining ground that the purpose of the anti-annexationists is to get the reve- nue bill out of the rush through the remaining appropriation bills and ferce an adjournment before a yote can be r2ached on annexation. It is the purpose of the friends of the Newlands resolutions to frustrats that scheme. Representativ? Tawney remarked this evening that if it became manifest that there was a set purpose to delay the con- sideration of the resolution a caucus would be held and ion taken which the leaders of the House cannot afford to ignore. Anti-annexa‘ionists in the Senate like Pet- tigrew of South Dakota and White of Cali- fernia are asserting with great positiveness that the resolution will not be tak2n up in that body. They seem to be basing their im on an alleged agreement betwen House and Senat> leaders that if the reve- pue bill is disposed of speedily there will be no effort to get action on the Hawaiian res- olution. Senator Allison has stated to the Press ccrrespondent that there is no such agree- ment in existence, and his understanding is that the resolution will pass the House and be taken up in the Senate. He is not pre- pared, how> to predict what will be- come of it the latter body.

Some of the more ardent annexationists are very much dissatisfied with the action of the House leaders in postponing the resolution. They think they detect a sys- tematic plan to use first one pretext and then another for delaying action until all the appropriation bills and other import- ant measul have been disposed of. Rep- resentative Tawney, who last week began a circulation of a call for a caucus, still has the paper in his possession, and if the resolution is not taken up within the next few days he will turn the call over to Rep- resentative Grosvenor, chairman of the caucus, and insist that it shall be issued at ence. The caucus would adopt a reso- Ivtlon declaring in favor of immediate ac- tion, and the tpeaker could not afford to ignore its action. +o ____ fonn) Expansion.

The senators who are most strenuously opposing the annexation of Hawail have been canvassing the Senate and claim to have a sufficient number of senators pledged to adjourn, in preference to taking up the annexation resolution, to insure the adop- tion of thts course, even though the House acts favorably upon the question. They say the names of seven republican senators are included in the list of those who have thus pledged themselves. ——"_+2o War and Yellow Fever. From the Kansas City Star. It is not vnlikely that the present war will be the means of throwing much light on the question of yellow fever, and pos- sibly something of value will be learned in regard to its prevention and cure.
