Ax a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7m order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpgye. The Returning Regiment. Every present indication points to a rous- eting of citizens tonight to take first steps toward ng the returning Dis- trict volunteers an appropriate reception. This meeting will doubtless be attended by & representative gothering of all classes of ing me accor have ap through the presence of relatives or dear friends in the returning ranks. Others will attend out of their general sympathy with such local enterprises and from a sentiment of local pride, others because they feel it to be the duty and pleasure of the people of the capital to show their appreciation of the sacrifices which these soldiers have freely offered in their country’s name. But from whatever motive the meeting may be d the prevailing inspiration will be what is wisest and most suitable in ting the military representatives of the trict in this war and in providing now and in the future for such of them as may require assistance The greeting itself is by no means all the jon demands The display ef decora- rhaps the discharge of fireworks, ling of a reception, the delivery of ldresses, the spreading of a feast—all these are only the outward tokens of the deep sentiment of local pride in the return- arent in the attitude of the citizens an awakened and augmented sense of duty on t art of the community to the militia force from whieh this regiment was formed and which it represen The nal Guard is to be fostered in the fu- y even than in the gen- past. This body must be maintained at a high standard of efficiency, in order that on other occasions such as the future may perhaps develop, calling for similar representations in the American army, or home duty by the citizen soldiers, the re- sults may be even more gratifying than they new are. Individually, too, these volunteers are to be considered in the immediate future. Some of them will return penniless, their slight means exhausted by the home de- mands during the weeks of their enlist- . Without employment, and, if no help without the chance to secure positions.

Judging from somewhat similar enterpris ccessfully conducted in the past it is not too much to expect that the organization effected to- night will be so thoroughly representative of the capitals energy and business intel- igence th very me all the ntials for a striking affair, complete in very respect, will be at hand. Washington has but to go into the matter with its ct teristic determination to accept the opportunity to the full in order to make the home-coming of the District regiment f the most brilliant and pra ally beneficial occasions in local history. ee and Politics. which has democrats to- admin- coming the nec! ssary hort in a Patri era rep This brough 1 feeling, and ns in pport of national jon the conduct of the war with . has illustrated here and there how we conduct our political contests purely dome: na- perience of John R. is something to the point. Mr. McLean is a democratic leader and the proprietor of an influential democratic newspaper. He Ivocate of free sil- ver, and gave Bryan an ungrudg- ing support in I He is still an advo- cate of free silver. But when the war wjth in was declared he urged the heartiest scpport of the President. Matters, as Mr. McLean saw them, then assumed a pa- rather than a partisan aspect, and during the war, regardless of the fact that the republican party was in power, he supported the war measures. He favored the annexation of Hawaii, and a vigorous prosecution of hostilities against ‘Spain all ng the line. One effect of this, it seems, has been to bring Mr. McLean's democracy into ques- tien in enti-Melean democratic circles in Obio. The party hine is under his con- trol and those desirous of ousting him circulated a report that he is shortly Mr. McKinley's cabinet as Sec- Such a yarn would not re- consideration but for Mr. pert of the President during it is grotesque enough even that fact.

One of the most satisfactory evidences of a better feeling between the United Staces and Great Britain is the assembling at Quebec of a joint commission to discuss end if possible to adjust a number of standing disagreements between this coun- try and Cenade. The principal cause of fri over the Alaskan fur seal. In addition, however, are many more questions, notably that referring to the Alaskan boundary, which has never been accurately detincd to the satisfaction of toth countries, and which is just now of large importance owing to the recent discovery of gold in paying quantities in the areas immediately affected. Geographically balancing the fon is the difference of long standing Swe ese we Alaskan questions is the old dispute con- cerning the Newfcundland fisheries, in- volving no sharp trcuble just now, but end- less!y ennoying to the authorities on both sides of the border. Other questions have letely arisen in connection with the tariff and the present understanding with regard to the maintenence of a naval force on the Great Lakes is by no means satisfactory. The regulation of the Welland canal is | troublescme and the handling of merchan- dise in transit across the boundary has recently produced much bad feeling. In short, the proximity of the countries, the absence in many places of a sharply de- fined natural boundary, and the similarity of the interests on both sides of the line 1 contribute to augment the possible causes of misunderstanding and difficulty. ‘The settlement of these widely divergent affairs, affecting many branches of trade and closely -invoiving the political future of Canada, will be an exceptionally delicate task, and it is well that the commission 48 fcrmed includes men who enjoy the entire configenc> of their respective countries. The tetter from Mr. Pepper, at Quebec, to The Star, published today, indicates the im- pertance of the issues involved in this con- ference and shows how compl:x is the pres- ent Canadian political situation. —___~++___ Abdul Hamid’ Reply to Uncle Sam. The Sultan of Turkey was in one respect fcrtunate in the time chosen by him for the submission of his recent reply to the United States relative to the payment of claims growing out of the Armenian riots, The people and the government here were deeply absorbed just then in the over- whelming matter of freeing Cuba and re- ducing Spain to a proper state of mind cerning her duty in the premises. was much rejoicing over the un- broken succession of victories, and the na- tion was probably more closely occupied with a single subject than at any other time since the cause of the disagreement with Turkey developed. Thus the sultan’s refusal to recognize the American claims ssed for the time somewhat unnoted and did not evoke the full degree of re- sentment which its terms would have aroused under normal circumstances. nm another respect the sultan’s proposi- tions come inopportunely for him, for they arrive at a period of unusual patriotism, of aroused national feeling and military en- terprise. The recent demonstration of the American prowess by land and sea has wrought the fighting spirit to an almost unprecedented height, and it is not diffi- cult to foresee an outburst of resentment against the Turk on the part of this country when its people begin to contem- plate seriously other foreign relations than those affecting Spain. During the riots in Armenia, which were then and are yet popularly believed to have been inspired by the porte, the property of certain American missionaries was de- stroyed and the missionaries themselves were able barely to escape with their lives. This government promptly entered a claim for reimbursement and the case became part of the diplomatic material that has accumulated so steadily at Constantinople for many years. Something more than the « There average insistence on the part of the claiming government brought the sultan to a realization that he had not to deal With one of the European monarchies, all of which are more or jess involved in the complex political relations affecting the “sick man.” Still there was no disposi tion to grant the de and after muc and urging porte has the formal reply to the eff urkey cannot hold to pressing to zi that the government of 1 itself ponsible for loss rioting the part of the several modern instance: t incidental peep on of tlaims on in per- ticular bring ple upon h this country uniformly moved in relation to foreign claims growing out of mob violence. Unfortunately for the sultan, however, this proposition cannot be idered apart from the ure of the Armenian troubles, which were in a large al and political. Of cour: for this country merely to the porte was re- Proof is not ready at hand to support such a claim. But it does appear from the records that the gov- errment of Turkey took no such steps to the riots or to protect the prop- ne foreigners as would have been any of the governments cited in the sultan’s reply. Thus the parallel does not continue to the end. The sultan is hardicapped in his references by his noto- ricus desire to crush out Christianity in Armenia and to exterminate the race, if necessary, to prevent the growth of an- other religion than that ef the prophet. The issue with this country, therefore, is as to whether its moral case, which is s wood as can be, is at the same time le- y strong. From the point of view of ional er international righteousness the United States is assuredly justified in in- sisting upon its demands regardless of the fc ner of responsibility and In going to the extreme limit of its power to enferce its claims. It would be a whole- some s¢! for the powers if after Spain out of this hemisphere the an republic were to do Europe the favor of dealing vigorously with the mur- derous and insolent Mahometan. —_+ «= —___ “Col.” Ike Hill of Ohio is showing an energy calculated to convince an admiring public that his destinies are not linked by family or other ties to the recently bot- tled New York democrat of the same sur- name. cle ——————_ «+ _____ A visit to this country by the Prince of Wales would be a timely occurrence.

It is gratifying to observe from the state- ment published today in relation to the annual vital statistics that Washington's terdency is steadily toward a higher plane of sanitation and that this movement is producing its wholesome results in a low- ering of the death rate. The completion of the city’s sewerage system, the extension of the water service and the general awak- ening to the importance of following mod- ern municipal methods in all matters affecting the pubhe health have formed part of the District's late development, in which The Star has at all times been glad to participate. There sre many reasons why Washington should become cne of the healthiest cities in the world. Its location is favorable, its advantages are ex-ep- tioral. Neglect, ignorance and error may at times contribute to offset these factors that make for gecd health, but intelligence in appreciating dangers and defects and in removing or remedying them is fast pre- vailing. The new Washington is advanc- ing toward an ideal, and its progress is marked by just such demonstrations as that efforded by these lately compiled s! tistics. Were the reduction in the death rate of the past three fiscal years unac- companied by any general betterment in the conditions which closely affect the pub- lic health the showing might perhaps be regarded as accidental. But coincidental with this drop in the mortality percentage the public wcrks cf a sanitary character have been pressed forward at a Satisfac- tory rate and it is not difficult under such circumstances to observe in the phenom- enon the workings of the law of cause and effect. ——__+- «+ —_____ Governor Black declines to retire from the race for governor with th>-promise of st pport for the United States senator later.

An Unusual Character. “What is there about that man which makes everybody turn around and look at him? Is he a stranger in this part of town?” “No. He’s lived here a long time. You see he wants rapid transit for this part of the town.” Doesn't everybocy?” “Yes. But ne’s willing that the car line should run on his street.” “I doesn’ b'live in good er bad luck,” said Uncie Eben, “’ceppin’ ter dis extent.

Loud cheers will A Question for the Futare. “What do you think of this idea of tak- ing pessessicn of the Philippines?” “I can’t express myself on it yet replied the practical politician. ‘‘You see, I haven't heard our pxrty leader say anything about it. If he favors the idea, the holding of the Philippines will represent a magnifi- cent step in national progr If he dis- approves, it means imperialism, which everybody knows is a mighty dangerous thing.” Trepidatio: “I never saw anybody so frightened as that American soldier was!” exclaimed the niard. Were you the cause of his fright?” “I should so! As soon as he caught sight of me and my men he was scared half to death for fear we'd run so fast he cculdn’t capture u: Superabundance of Summer.

Advertiser. tifying to mark the attitude toward the eastern strongly upholding | the he material interests of the United States in the Chinese question are lel with the British, and the Ameri- ns, flushed with gratitude to Great Brit- ain for her conduct during the late war, now sec this more clearly than would have been possible had the old unfounded sus- picions of British friendship lingered. It is a case where the heart is helping the head. The American press not only reflects the moral sympathy of the United States with Great Britain, but urges diplomatic inter- vention in behalf of the British policy of the open door. This would strongly rein- force the British position, as Russia might well pause before defying the united pro- test of the two great Anglo-Saxon nation! Perhaps something of the kind has alre: cccurred, as the tension between Great Britain nd Russia seems to have been re- laxed. However, if Great Britain should € to fight alone for the open door, which she is prepared to do, even the passive friendship of the United States would be of inestimable value. It would mean that the chief source of British food supplies would remain open, and that only a fraction of the British navy would be required to pa- trol the trade rout American commer with China is forg- ing ahead with leaps and bounds. Alreaay China is the largest customer for American cotton, taking $7, 3 worth, or 140. 035 yards, last year, as compared with $1,688,657 worth in 189%. British exports of cotton to China last year were 542,814,700 yards. When both nations see Russia threatening to shut the door on this gigan- tic trade, it would be strange if they did not act in concert. —____ +0 ——__ The Danger of Reducing the Navy. From the Chicago Intcr-Ocean, To reduce the navy now will be to en courage delay on the part of Spain and to provoke manifestations of outlawry in Cuba. Even talk about reducing the navy is encouragement to the enemy. ‘It was the navy that struck down Spanish authority in the Philippines and destroyed Cervera’s fleet. If the Spanish coast is to be raided or Havana bombarded the navy will be the engine of destruction. The Spanish fear the navy as they fear nothing else Ameri- can. If we manifest unseemly eagerness to cripple the arm that the enemy fears may we not retard peace negotiations and delay action in our own interest? There is the most urgent necessity for prompt- ness in formally concluding peace, and the navy should not be reduced until the final treaties have been signed. —— The Loyalty of Immigrants. From the Kansas City Star. There is a perfect reason for the attach- ment of the immigrant to the United States. It is because it is the country of his choice. No portion of this country has ever been a penal colony, a Botany Bay or a Siberia. Nobody has been sent here on compulsion. The immigrant to the United States from the beginning has been a vol- unteer—one who considered the matter and concluded that his cOndition would be bet- tered in some way in the great, new, strong country beyond the Atlantic, where there was more land, more room, more work, more money, more opportunity, more lib- erty for him and his children and thetr children.

The doctor has diagnosed the sit- uation pretty well so far and the patient has confidence in his decision. ————_~>+ = —____ Domestic Disbursements. From the New York Mail and Express. Up to thé present time the cash disburse- ments of this government on account of the war amount to upward of $140,000,000.

Fourth Vacuum Fruit Jars Inaugurate a new era in canning, overcoming the very many objec- tions found in the old makes, and converting the preserving son into a work of pleasure, rather than one of vexation, as heretofore. “The Easy Jar,” as itis commonly termed, at once takes front rank in ease of operation. Instead of the old-fash- ioned manner of screwing down and tightening tops, with the resultant breakage of jars and cuts and burns of hands, it is necessary only to place top evenly on the jar after hot fruit has been poured and secure with clamp until cool, when it will be found firmly fastened. The removal of cover is correspondingly simple-— a slight puncture, a knife blade or pin under edge—anything to permit ingress of air—-and the story is told. The demonstration now going on in our Housefurnishing Department will show the ease with which these jars can be filled and closed and will immediately attract all interested in preserving.
