V Company H, D. C. Volunteers, which is @ue to arrive in New York this afternoon or evening, will receive a warm welcome when it returns to Washington. Just when that will be cannot be stated yet and will Goubtless depend largely on the sanitary condition of the troops on board the trans- Port Alamo when it reaches New York.

The rec- ord-breaking trip of the Oregon, followed by the total destruction of Cervera’s fleet, Bettled the controversy. There has been since a public demand for greater speed wherever possible, together with the max- imum coal-carrying capacity. Had the Ore- gon had the coal capacity of the Texas— {850 tons—instead of more than twice that much, she could never have gone around the Horn as she did, nor could she have taken the part she did in the battle after- ward had she been a less speedy craft. According to the revised plans the new battle ships are to have a speed of 18% knots and a coal-carrying capacity of 2,000 tons. This will make of them fighting ma- chines far superior to anything we now have in the navy instead of putting them merely on a par with ships that have seen service for years. It is a matter for con- gratulation that the department decided upon these improvements before it was too late. With our new colonial possessions and in view of the complications that may yet ensue as a result of the war with Spain it is certain that the navy in the future will be called upon to play a for more im- portant part than ever in the past. It would be a mistake, the effects of which cannot be foretold, to build for our navy any but the very best obtainable ships. The people of the whole country are so well pleased with the good work the navy did when put to the test that there ts a disposition on all sides to be liberal in mak- ing naval appropriations. The addition of a few thousand or of a good many thou- sand dollars to the price of a ship is econ- omy if thereby we secure everything that modern ingenuity can devise in the direc- tion of strengthening and rendering more effective the floating fighting machine. ——__ + = —_____ Truth Should Be Known. The charges which have been made against the officers of the United States revenue cutter Bear by the foremast han of the wrecked whaling crews which that reseued in Alaskan waters should tigated without delay, quite as interest of the officers them- selves as for any other reason. These satl- ers claim that they were treated with great cruelty by the officers of the Bear. According to their story, they were ordered to wash down the decks of the Beer, but as they only had one suit of clothes apiece, and did not wish to get them wet, while the crew the Rear, with two or more suits api did nothing at all, they re- fused to obey the orders. Consequently a number of them were thrown into irons, and, as there were not enough Irons to go round, the others were triced up to the rail in such a manner that their sufferings were intense. Then the officers passed up and down the line, jeering them, and, as if to aggravate matters, proceeded to take snap-shot photographs of them in the act of suffering. There are two sides to every + and there surely are that many to The mission of the Bear was an en- Y unselfish one, and it is hard to be- Neve that the officers of any ship in the service of the United States would deltb- erately and without provocation cause suf- fering to helpless men. In justice to the officers themselves the truth should be as- certained. vessel be inves much in the of —____ 2 +e —__ Fines at Spanish Ports of Entry. It is not amazing that the Spantsh cus- toms officials still clirging to their offices in Havana should have cooked up some sort of claim against the Red Cross steamer which recently arrived at that port with a cargo of supplies for the suffering people, in order to a fine of $500 upon the vessel. The Red Cross stands in the Span- ish eye as one of the meddlesome factors which brought on the war to free Cuba. he whole affair was one of unwarranted interference. The Red Cross, both before and after <he stuggle, has sought to get in between the people and starvation. It is antagonistic to the entire Spanish program, uly mapped out by Weyler. Pah!

One case is cited which will bear comparison with the levy- ing of a heavy tax upon the ship which ppeared at the movth of Havana harbor with supplies for the starving. A poor ship owner who had been hired to carry a cargo of paving stones from Hong Kong to Manila had the misfortune to be held up at the custom house at the latter pert because of a discrepancy between the invoice and the load. The paving stones were counted—at least the Spanish officials declared that they had them counted—aad captain was fined several hundred dol- use it was found that he had brought over seven stones too many. - es The czar should not be discouraged be- cause his first attempt at international re- form did not succeed.

E. Benjamin Andrews, who recently 1 tired from the presidency of Brown Univer- sity after a rather stormy experience with the truste2s of that institution, caused by his prenounced firancial views, has, it is well known, accepted the pest of superin- tendent of the Chicago public schools. Phers are duties a opportunities in such a position entirely coryatible with the tal ents of a man capable of filling satisfa torily, from the educational point of view. the chair of president of a university, and is to be regarced in no sense as a step iewn for Prof. Andrews. But the change is fraught with dangers to him. He brings to the contemplation of the intricate prob- lem of pu school maragement in a city den < Chi with politicians the ambitions of the broad educator, the ta! ents of an enthi siastic scholar, and he ru counter almost immediately to the limita- ticns which preji dice and local politics have combined to erect around the man- agement of the schools. One of Supertn- tendent Andrews’ first propositions has met with evidences of marked disapproyal from certain elements in the windy city. He has come to the belief t one of the royai rcads to learning is through the stomach of the student; in other words, ihat no child can properly assimilate the facts pre- sented to hi-n or grasp the problems with which he is daily confronted in acquiring an educatior if his digestion is entirely out of order. Therefore Superintendent An- drews wouli have the school authorities first of all see to it that the pupil has the opportunity te secure a regular, wholesome luncheon, avoiding the messes which are teo often brought sodden and indigestible from the homes or are still oftener rought with Juvenile indiscretion at the pastry shops near by. To meet the diffieulty adequately, there- fcre, he has proposed that the schools es- tablish luncheon counters, where for a small sum the children can obtain a suffictent quantity of wholesome food, such us soup. bread and milk, carefully chosen and pre- pared. Immediately Supt. Andrews is ac- cused of a tendency toward paternalism. His suggestion that the state interfere be- tween the pupil and his indigestion is re- sented. It is pointed out that the state constitution provides merely for the offer- ing to the children of facilities for acquiring a “good, common-school education.” Free text-books are regarded with horror, as in the nature of inducements to enter the schools. The school soup counter is like- wise tabooed as an infraction of the rigid constitutional restriction to a “good com- mon school educatio! The state, argue these objectors, has nothing to ‘lo with the health of the children. It presents a plain educational program. Let the people take it or leave it. If they have no books where- with to profit by the advantages of free education forsooth let them lose the oppor- tunity. There is to be no chromo giving in Chicago. If the children can not wax strong mentally ani physically at the same time the state has no cowzern in the affair. The theory of these protesting citizens would seem to be that to the strong end rich alone belong the fruits of education and the pocr and sickly must be relegated to the rear of the procession, hopelessly handicapped in the race for success in life. This is the doctrine of survival relentlessly applied. It will not evoxe in the heart of the average American any degree of sym- pathy for the strict letter of the state con- stitution, if indeed that is in any degree involved. It will rather awaken a very general sympathy for Superintendent An- drews in his task of seeking to bring light to Chicago and to work «rder out of what it is to be feared may in some respects be an educational chaos. +o Aguinaldo seems to have been debating whether it is better to take a secondary place In the procession or be drum major of a retreat. SS eS The official reports in connection with the war refrain from any desclosures which might invite a charge of sensationalism. 2+ e It would be an unfraternal act for the powers to arrange for peace while the Ger- man emperor's back is turned. ——__ +02 SHOOTING STARS.

Jam Creelman in New York Jcurnal. LONDON, September 14.—Jouun Hay start- ed for America today, and his departure gives me the opportuniiy to anuounce what might have been an indiscreet disclosure before, that he is absolutely opposed to any formal alliance between Great Britain and the United States. 1 know this to be a fact. Hay is deeply impressed with the importance of cultivat- ing close and friendly relations with Great Britain, but he has made no secret among his intimate friends of his unaiterable op- position to anything in the nature of an actual Anglo-American alliance. ~ —s ‘The Maine Election, Governor Dingley in Philadelphia Press, While the regublican plurality and ma- jority this year bas fallen off from 18o4 and 1896, when it was abnormally swelled and the democratic vete exceptionally small, yet cur plurality now is 7 per cent larger than the average republican plurality from 1882 to 1892, twice what it was in the presiden- tial year of 1892 and much larger than it ever was except in the years 1834 and 1896. ——_—_wow Queen Lil as a Poser, From the Philadelphia Press. Ex-Queen Liliuokzlani is proving herself to be an accomplished poseuse. Under the guise of extreme graciousness she is mak- ing things interesting for the United States commissioners by following in their trail, end thus securing the attention of the na- tives when they supposedly should be ap- pearing before the commissioners stating their grievances and desires. This is, of course. the only game Mrs. Dominis ‘can piay, and if it amuses her to acquiesce in the annexation of the islands with onc breath and stir up the natives to mourn her lost power with the next, she should be indulged to her heart's content, as roth- ing she does can change the face of affairs. She herself may find when the inevitable rearrangement takes place that if she were’ more discreet she might fare better ‘ut the bands of the goverfment. Considering her history, Liliuokalari’s pose is as amusing as it ts futile. —————_ + o = —___ The Saddest Blow.
