HE Louisville Courier-Journal discusses Ameri- Tcun citizenship in the light of what may occur in the event of acquisition by this country oi the Spanish colonies. The Wong Kim Ark case is quoted. Ark was born in California, and, having visited China, on his re- turn here was denied landing. He claimed citizenship by birthright and the Supreme Court gave it to him. The majority of the court held that undefined parts | of the constitution must be interpreted in the light of the common law of England, which makes the | birthplace the criterion of nationality. It is thereupon argued by Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Harlan that such rule excludes from citizenship a large num- ber of Americans born abroad, whose parents were not in the consular or diplomatic service. Such per- sons are far greater in number than is commonly sup- posed. The late Charles F. Crisp, Speaker -of the House, was born in England, where his parents, who were play actors, were sojourning on a professional | | | | tour. While the Ark decision is of importance, bccause; it makes all children hereafter born in Hawaii citizens i‘ of the United States, as will be those born in any ex- | ternal possessions of which we may despoil Spain, it is of no less importance if .it deny citizenship to Americans born in sojourn abroad. The Revised Statutes, section 1993, say: “All chil- dren heretofore born or hereafter born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States whose fathers were or may be at the time of their birth citi- zens thereof are declared to be citizens of the United ates; but the rights of zenship shall not descend to children whose fathers never resided in the United States.” Section 2172 provides that naturalization of the father naturalizes also his minor children and makes | them citizens of the United States. It will be seen that sections 1993 and 2172 intend to | legalize the descent of citizenship through the father; ! ‘in the first case through th: father as'a native or | | naturalized citizen of the United States whose child is born abroad, and in the second through the father, alien born, by his naturalization, to his minor chil- dren alien born. | - We are not at present aware of any instance in | which section 1993 has been subjected to a judicial | decision, but section 2172 has been in the courts. The first case arose in Virginia, and the United States Su- | preme Court decision is written by Justice Washing- ton. William Currie, a native of Scotland, was | naturalized in Virginia. His daughter Jeanette was at that time an infant living in Scotland. At Wil- liam’s death his real property descended to Jeanette, | then Mrs. Gordon. The action arose upon an issue | of sufficiency of title, turning upon the descent of citi- zenship to her from her father's naturalization, she | being at that time a resident of Scotland. Justice ! Washington held, with the concurrence of the court, | that Jeanette became a citizen of the United States by the naturalization of her father and capable of in- heritance under the laws of Virginia. This case was followed by the Circuit Court of New York in the United States vs. Hirschfield, though the facts were less extreme than in the Currie | case. Now, if the Ark case extend incompetence to sec- | tion 1903, it must also invalidate section 2172, which covers the case of tens of thousands of voters to | whom citizenship descended through their naturalized fathers. If the place of birth detcr;nine nationality, and, therefore, citizenship, the latter quality. can no more descend through a naturalized than a native father, and the children of each must be themselves naturalized. It will be observed that the law has treated nativity | and naturalization upon precisely equal terms, with a capacity in each for transmitting citizenship regard- less of birthplace of the child. If this capacity be denied to one it must be denied to both. | | | | | | | The common people of Spain have been informed | that the United States have sued for peace, and the | | next bit of information given out will be that peacehas | been granted on condition that the United States take charge of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines here- after and save Spain the expense. e S Bty A There ought to be some method of ascertaining ‘the ;tmth concerning the deaths of Mrs. Deane and Mrs. | Dunning.

W HILE there are naturally wide differences of opinion among the people as to the most ex- pedient course for our Government to pursue in dealing with the colonies wrested from Spain, it | is notable that there is nowhere any feeling of un- easiness or anxiety. The discussion of the issue is carried on earnestly indeed, but without excitement, in all parts of the country. Everywhere there is a firmly founded confidence that the administration will | guard all the interests of the nation, and that the set- tlement of the problems growing out of the war is in safe hands. This feeling of confidence in the President is so well nigh universal that it forms one of the salient characteristics of the political situation. More than one Democratic convention in the E has expressly declared its approval of the policy of the administra- tion on all war issues, and time and again at Demo- cratic meetings references to the-President ‘have been greetéd with cheers. When suc¢h expressions come from political opponents on thé eve of a general elec- tion it is evident the country has reached an-era‘of good feeling. S s For this fortunate state of things we are indebted chiefly to the personal . influence of - President McKinley. He is essentially- a harmonizer. In this respect his chdracter is radically different from that of his predecessor in the Presidency. While Cleveland’s personality was felt as a disturbing influ- ence even in the ranks.of his own party, that of Mc- Kinley has been recognized a conciliating force. He has thoroughly united all factions in the Republi- can ranks, has done much to eradicate all sectional antagonisms between North and South, and, as we now see, has actually removed much of the bitterness and excitement from our partisan strife. The President has accomplished this good work by the exercise of that kind of tact that is the outgrowth of a genuine patriotism, a desire to serve the whole country and a willingness to serve it in accordance with the public wish. He has not attempted to dmi- nate those around him or to euforce his will in every respect by overriding others. He has made haste He has consulted the sentiment of the nation at every step, and’as a result has had the great mass | of the people at his back and ready fo support him | in all the movements he has made from first to last. A striking illustration of the President’s wisdom in dealing with the emergencies of the war and one which shows how closely he keeps in touch with the | sympathies of the people is to be seen in the policy displayed in selecting generals to command the vol- army. There was more than ordinary tact displayed in the appointment of old Confederates like Wheeler, Lee and Butler to important commands. It was an actthat roused the North almost as much as the South. ternal feeling throughout the Union that completely swept away the last vestiges of se tional antagonisms slowly. unteer It gave an impulse to a great wave of fra- growing out of the war.

GREAT BRITAIN AND RUSSIA. UMORS of impending war between Great R Britain and Russia-have been common in the \ world for so long a time that the memory of | man ‘runneth not to the contrary. with Spain began these rumors were of Just before our war the most startling nature, and it scemed from them as if hos- tilities between the rival powers in China would break out and be finished before the Cuban question had passed from the hands of diplomatists. While we were fighting we heard little of the ru- mors. Theré was no time for them. Now that peace is at hand they return again. The thread is taken up just where it was ‘dropped about four months ago. We are now assured that war between Great Britain and Russia will break out before the end of autumn with as much fervor and force of argument as we were told last winter that it would break out before spring ended. It is the old story told in the old way and having little of new reasons to sustain it. Of course there is a basis of fact for these reports to rest upon. In this, as in all things else where there is €0 much smoke, there must be some fire. With certain kinds of material, however, such as wet straw, it does not take much of a spark to cause a vast smoke, and the fuel from which the war rumors come is very wet straw indeed. The Chinese question is one of those vast insoluble problems over which, dip- lomatists may wrangle for years without reaching the | fighting point. There are babies now playing in the nurseries of London and St. Petersburg who will grow up, become diplomatists, wax fat, rich, gray headed and then retire, leaving the controversy still unsettled. The talk of war is largely a-matter of British poli- tics. The opponents of Salisbury will make Great Britain how! with denunciations of his “cowardly policy,” his “truckling to Russia” and his “surrender of British interests” in the East until they get him out of office. Then a Liberal Ministry will assume charge of the Government, draw the salaries of Cabinet offi- cers, distribute the patronage and continue the same old foreign policy. Rosebery is not more likely to make war than Salisbury. The denunciations of Russian aggression-in London are aimed less at the Russians that at the British citizen whose .vote is wanted against the Government. As a matter of fact the British seem to have gained more in China than Russia, Germany and France combined. The Russians have the advantage of posi- tion simply because they are reaching China by an overland route, and the annexation of Chinese terri- tory is a part of the natural expansion of their em- pire. The British wish trade and the Russians wish land. The interests of the two are not go opposite as they seem. Each will use the other as an excuse for invading Chinese soil or controlling Chinese trade, but there is no imperative reason why they should fight just yet, and they are not likely to do so unless some cog in the diplomatic machine breaks and pre- cipitates a crisis so suddenly that the statesmen on | one or possibly both sides will lose their heads: It is asserted that Great Britain has decided to take a decided step in China, but it is not yet certain whether it will be forward, backward or a step aside. SR gD A candid expression of opinion from Blanco would be read with interest; but the trouble is that Blanco does not know how to be candid. Mr. Henry Foote should have got his brother to take those ‘¢ats to Sacramento and turn them loose with the terriers. A Colorado prizevfigh.t has ended fatally, but only to one contestant. There is naturally some feeling of dissatisfaction. Some army officers doubtless have a feeling that the PERSONAL EQUATION IN NAVAL WARFARE. Admiral Sicard, in command of the North Atlantic squadrom, broke down:a few months ago, and had to relinquish his eommand. ~ Captain Clark, after making his famous voyage from coast to coast with the Ore- gon, after annihilating the Spanish fleet off Santiago, has succumbed to the nervous strain, and has been invalided home. Captain Gridley of the Olym- pia died after the Manila fight. These are only a few of the many instancés in which naval officers, even during the present brief war, haye found that the burden of respon- sibility laid upon them was greater than their system would bear. It is an object lesson which we cannot affori to neglect. The world, or, rather, the only portion of it which we need cons:der, represented by the great naval powers, has stood breathlessly aloof, watching the conflict between ' United States and Spain. Everything was to be learned from the actual experiense of warfare; all doubts as to the relative merits of guns and armor, of battleships and cruisors, of tor- pedo-boats and destroyers, ware to be set at rest at our expense. For a generation the machinists and theorists of every nation have exhausted their inventive faculties in order to produce the ideal fizhting ship; types varying in the widest degree have been created by different powers, yet none had. the ability to predict how their vessels would behave in actual conflict. The war has come and gone, the struggle has passed through its many brilliant phases and is now nearing its“glorigus end, and the na- val gonstructors of the world are but little the wiser. . That more has not been learned Is not our fault, yet we. have reason to be thankful that the utter inefficiency of our adversary on the sea has preserved many a valua- ble life to America. & The world-old answer has been read to our question. Ttis the man and not the ship which wins the battle. The Romans, when they.fought their many oared galleys on the Mediterranean, and triumphed over their oppon- ents, knew it. The Norse Vikings, when they swept the northem seas, and gave to the Anglo-Saxon race for all time its birthright of naval fsypremacy, knew it. Drake and Frobisher and Hawkins, all the old Elizabcthan sea lions, when they harried the don in his hold and swept his mighty armada like spume from the face of the sea, knew it. Blake and Rodney and Nel- son, Paul Jones, Bainbridge and Decatur, they all impressed upon their foes, time and again, the same immutable law. Still later, during the war between the United States and England, we learned that when vessels were manned by men of the same race, the results of the desperate ccu- flict depended more upon chance than upon any actual superiority in size or guns. It is difficult now to understand why we expected anything different from the present war. Captain Mahan has taught us that although steam and armor have superseded eanvas and wood, the principles of naval strat- egy remain unchanged. Yet there were many leading- critics, especially on the other side of the Atlantic, who expressed grave doubts as to the result of a struggle between our ships and those of Spain. Theoreti- cally, the fighting machines of Spain were just as good as ours, some of their cruisers were even faster and more modern, their guns weresof the latest pattern, and they had the advantage of using smokeless instead of the obsolete black powder with which, to the disgrace of our administra- tion, the United States navy is still supplied. Further, the Spaniards-pos- sessed an arm in which we were entirely deficient. They had a number of modern torpedo destroyers, the fastest type of vessel in the world, from which much was expected. Yet no use was made by the don of his advan- tage; in every case it was the man, and not the ship, which won the bat- tle. As a result, the vaunted navy of Spain now consists mostly of old iron, piled up on the beaches or sunk beneath the waters of two hemispheres, Thus, as always, everything depends upon the man, and by the man I mean more especially the man in command. The accuracy of our gun- ners, the gallantry of the sailors who man the guns, is not in question here. It is the commander of the ship, the man upon whom the whole re- sponsibility for a successful issue culminates, whom we have to consider. The question we have to face is whether we have not reached the outside Umits of human endurance, whether the personal equation, which remains always a fixed quality, has not been overbalanced by the complexity of modern mechanism. Appliances undreamed of by our forefathers have been crowded into our ships. The cares of a commander have been multi- plied a thousand fold. Yet it is doubtful whether the nervous organiza- tion of the fin de siecle sailor, weakened by an overrefined civilization, is as strong as that of his simple bred forefather of a century past. Who ever heard of one of Nelson’s captains breaking down the nervous strain forced upon him by a successful naval action? owing to Did Paul Jones collapse after he had captured the Serapis, or did Bainbridge have to be invalided home when he had successfully disposed of the Barbary Coast pirates? No. The men of those days, unie they had the misfor- tune to be wounded in action, finished in style, fit and fresh for another engagement as soon as the enemy reappeared. The old sailing ship, it must be remembered, was a very simple, albeit perfect machine. She had been evolved by centuries of experience, until the types of war vessels had become absolutely fixed. Every sailor knew exactly what his ship might be expected to do, and knew how to do it in the simplest and easiest way, without the necessity for any mental exertion on his part. He knew, also, xactly what the enemy would do and how to defeat his maneuvers. The rest was easy, the captain had only to unleash his sea dogs, and the side ' which knew how to fight best won the day. It was an admirably simple state of affairs, and the pity of it is that the conditions have passed foréver. The modern captain -who takes his ironclad into action has to face a widely different situation. He is hand- ling a huge, excessively complicated machine, the fighting capacity of which has never been really tested. The organism is almost human in its sensibility. Every one of the hundred branching nerves which direct the action of the ship has to be controlled by the master brain. And it is this man, shut up in his narrow conning tower, whom we have to rely upon for victory. Through the slits in the armored structure he can com- mand but a limited view. He knows that at any moment a well aimed shell from the enemy may blow him into fragments. He has to control voice pipes and telegraphs leading to every part of the ship. A single false order on his part may mean destruction for his vessel, if not annihi- lation for his crew. : Have we a right to expect that the delicate, nervous organization of any human being will withstand such a strain for long? It is true that at Manila Dewey, with his officers around him, fought his ships from the open vantage of the bridge. But it was a risk that it would have been criminal to take against a skilled enemy. One well aimed shell might have destroyed the admiral and his staff, the whole brains of the fleet. It is due alone to Spanish incompetency that such a shell did not arrive. In one of the best imaginative descriptions of a modern naval battle yet written, the captain who fights his ship from the conning tower finds, after the successful issue of the action, that his hair has turned white from nervous strain. In real warfare the experience is likely to repeat itself. Even in times of peace we see that the responsibility of commanding a great fleet may upset the stoutest brain. In no other way can we account for Admiral Tryon's terrible blunder in the Mediterranean, when a foolish order cost her Majesty one of her finest ironclads, and the lives of hundreds of her bravest sailors and marines. If this could hapven in’ peace, what might not we expect during the heat and excitement of war? Wherein lies the remedy? It is not for the layman to decide this point. but it is quite evident that, to meet modern requirements, a new departure is needed. Some way must be devised of subdividing the responsibility, some means whereby several braing instead of a single one may be intrusted with the care of controlling our great fighting machines. The task has outgrown the capacity of one man, and we have yet to learn how we can with ;atety intrust it to many. J. F. ROSE-SOLEY. IN WOOD AND MFADOWS.

Mr. Murphy es the following pa ticulars of the new bread, which is W | known in Germany and America: This bread made of a mixture o 33 per cent white maize flour, and 6 per cent of wheat or rye. In Eurc it was first adopted in Germany, i the year of the failure in the ryi As to-day we ar us sit- uation, the prese crop - being 50,000,000 hundredweight less than our needs, it is of interest to know that white maize flour can supply the want, In giving to the public a far more nu- tritive bread, better in taste and at a far cheaper price than bread made of all wheat flour. This bread will keep fresh longer, for maize is more absorb- ent than wheat, it is a delicious bread 318 and excessively fine. - The -bakers- agr America made this bread, recommendeé by Colonel Murphy of the ited States Department of Agriculture The problem of a cheap bread seems thus to be solved. The baker can sell this bread at 10 centimes cheaper per { loaf of four pounds than the loaf of the same weight made entirely of wheat, for the large sack of maize flour costs about 30 francs less than the same size ck of wheat flour. The following are the natural advan- tages of this bread, recommended by Mr. Murphy: A remarkable property of maize flour to absorb a great quan- tity of water (about the double of wheat flour); in consequence this bread keeps fresh longer, while the baker gets more bread out of it Maize is a cereal extremely nourishing. Maize when it is not degerminated has a d arreeable taste, that in such an in- stance would be communicated to the bread. The grain must be submitted to a certain process for degermination, then the flour has no longer the dis- agreeable taste referred to. Dr. Du- jardin-Beaumetz says in his book “Hygiene Alimentaire” that maize is the most nourishing, that it occupies the first place, on account of the fatty matter it contains, and it Is easily to be understood the present tendency to substitute in part wheat flour by that | of maize, Mixed maize bread has light laxative properties, which will be ap- | preciated by the inhabitants of eiti This American bread gives a perfect digestion. In Berlin sixty-five special bakeries make this mixed maize bread. —Croix d¢ Lorraine. ————e Cal. glase fruit 50c per 1b at Townsend's.® Specal information supplied daily to | business houses and public men by the | Press Clipping Bureau (Allen’s), 510 Mont- | gomery street.
