Now that ing aud peace treaty is to be signed Spain definitely ended, volunteer soidiers en- nh who are stiil on the w ajority r the of the ampai are to be mustered out.

Military rule must prevail for some time, until at least a form of civil goyern- ment can be devised and applied, and the presence of several regiments in the Island imperatively necessary to sustain that form of dominion. The case Is particularly suggestive of a stinued military government as regards the Philippines. There occurs not only the condition ef changing sovereignty which is found in Porto Rico, but also a state of revolution, while geographical conditions complicate the case. It matters little for the present that the object of that revolu- tion has disappeared. The United States for the time being, to Spain's problems.

Cuba will, ef course, demand close mili- ary attention for some months. The evacu- 2 by Spain will be followed by the oc- ation by the United es as a tenant trust.

It will not do to withdraw all of the soldiery from the mainland, where problems requiring military attention are constantly arising. The only question virtually re- ining now to be answered is: How many vusand men should constitute the regu- lar army of the future? Experience may be | required to furnish the data for a perma- nent answer, Meanwhile the people should not be impatient {f the volunteers are not all returned to the ctvil life immediately merely because Spain has surrendered and accepted the American peace terms. _—— Weather Warnings Ignored. The full story of Saturday night's storm may never be told. Its deadly intensity is revealed by degrees in the wreckage which floats ashore, and perhaps in a few days some approximate estimate of the havoc then wrought on the New England coast may be approachabie. Meanwhile it 1s cleir that at least one great disaster marked the gale and that many Mves were sacrificed. The steamer Portland went to pieces some time Saturday night or Sunday morning, so far out of her course as to show that the storm was of resistless strength and that it was the most criminal folly for her captain to put out from port. ‘The Portland's run is short, from Boston to Portland, ordinarily occupying about twelve hours, and at no time does It carry the steamer far from the mainland. On such a run the ordinary weather warnings ought to be scrupulously heeded. In this instance, however, they were not only ig- nored, but the captain of the vessel put to sea, it is sald, in defiance of positive orders to remain in port. He is now dead and has received his own great punishment for his criminal blunder, but this In no meas- ure compensat for the scores of lives sacrificed to his obstinacy. At half-past 10 on Saturday morning the weather bureau in this city ed to all its observers along the New England coast the following order: “Hoist northeast storm signal: northeast gales, with heavy The observers were also directed te all railroad and transportation inte the coming of heavy snow throughout New England. The warning about the snow w particularly important. Often a ship can go to sea with comparative safety in the face of a storm if the air ts not clouded, but when the snow is flying landmarks are obscured, light houses are useless and the vessel is left to fate. The snow blinds the eyes of pilots as not even do the heaviest rains. The lights from the coast cannot penetrate the driving mass of flakes. ‘The extreme warning used by the weather bureau, the hurricane signal, was not or- dered, for the reason that Saturday morn- ing there was no foreseeing the fact that two storms would unite and would create the terrible commotion of the elements which ensued. But the warning which was given was ample for the purpose of indi- eating the practically certain approach of extremely dangerous conditions, espectally for vessels whose routes would carry them close to the coast. A ship headed for the open sea might have a chance to ride out the gale by driving into its teeth, but even this would require the staunchest of en- gines and hulls. The Portland's east to tonight.” warn captain ignored the official warning, the gale then blowing, the heavy snow then falling and the direct orders of his superior to keep In port. He carried with him to death over a hundred people, who had no knowledge, presumably, of the desperate chances which he was taking. ‘This tragedy serves to suggest that perhaps there may be some more positive method of preventing disasters in the face of sol- emn warning that danger is at hand. The traveling public ought to have some safe- guard against this chance of death. A fool- hardy commander should not be permitted to carry cut to meet the hurricane his crew and passengers, who rely upon his judg- ment. In many states the owners of ships which are put to sea in the face of the offical danger warnings can not recover their insurance money. It may perHaps be possible for the states to go further and take steps to actually prevent the sailing of vessels under such circumstances. How- ever impracticable such a plan may appear af first glance the circumstances of the Portland’s wreck warrant the consideration of any suggestion tending to prevent repe- Utions of the tragedy. toe ‘Phe empress dowager insists on seeing the Chinese emperor Kow-tow every now and then in order to be sure that there Is no starchiness getting into his backbone. ———_ + +2 —_—_.

Tomorrow Mr. Joseph Choate will go to Albany to argue before the New York state court of appeals the case of Mr. Laidiaw against Russell Sage, for damages received in the explosion of a bomb thrown by Nor- cross in Mr. Sage's office over seven years ago, This will be the seventh time that Mr. Choate has pleaded for justice for this man. The case is interesting, not only be- cause of the length of time it has dragged through the courts, but because of the dra- matic circumstances which gave it birth. One morning a man walked into the office of Mr. Sage in New York city with a hand satchel in his grasp, and, approaching the multi-millionaire, demanded a targe sum of money. His demand was of course refused. It was repeated, with the threat added that the stranger would blow himself and the millionaire into fragments if his request were again refused. Mr. Sage once more declined to part with his wealth at the sug- gestion of this novel robber, and there was an immediate explosion, which shattered the building, killed the intruder and severe- ly wounded several other people. The man Laidlaw, a clerk in another office, was the learn for them to do most seriously hurt. He had been standing near Mr. Sage when the stranger entered, and, he claims, wiren the demand for money, was made Mr. Sage grasped his shoulders and thrust him between his own person and that of Norcross, the man with the loaaed satchel. He avers that never before had Mr. Sage shown such familiarity with him to warrant him in taking hold of his shoulders, and he demands damages for having been used as a buffer. It is believed that had not Laidlaw stood or been held be- tween Sage and Norcross the former would have been very seriously hurt, perhaps killed. As it was he escaped with a slight shock. Sage has always resisted the sult, fighting Laidlaw bitterly in court. The lat- ter is a wreck, his back having been per- forated with bits of cloth, leather and metab by the force of the explosion, and these wounds have never fully healed. Jury after jury has tried to adjust the case, but there have been mistrials and reversals un- til now the case goes to the last state bench to be once more reviewed, Laidlaw having at present a verdict in his favor for a large sum, which Mr. Sage seeks to have set aside. The case is the more interesting be- cause it is apparently the first time on ret ord wher . human being has been delib- erately held, against his will, as a barricade against death, without receiving compensa- tion for the service. —__+ +2 —___ Liliuokalani now comes ferward with an application for money.

From the Springfleld Union, The furious and feverish and nolsy oppo- sition of a few people in Massachusetts to the performance of our duty to the Philip- pines and their inability to grow with the nation, to enlarge their horizons with events, and their settled pessimism about the future of our country, have seriously in- jured the reputation of the old bay. state. In our educational refinement and deep learning we are supposed to have reached the point where we listen only to reason—- and it is in a very narrow limit that we are supposed to reason—and pay no attention to duty or humanity.
