especial TO the S~eltlnel-l
New YORK, March THE Times says
editorially: Certain Boston capitalists,
who are largely interested in the prosecu-
ton of the railway enterprises in Colorado
and the Southwest, are said to be actively
engaged in a scheme for making San Diego
the most ~southerly seaport of California,
the entire port for a vast system of trans
continental railway traffic. 1t is by no
means the first time that the ancient town
of San Diego has been made to do duty as
q scarecrow for San Francisco. One would
suppose from the animation which this
new scheme has infused into railway cir
cles that San Diego had just been discov-
cred. As a matter Of fact, San Diego has
long been threatening to snatch the palm
of commercial security from San Fran
cisco, and yet it remains an isolated and
poverty-stricken town. Nothing short of
it's being made a Pacific railway terminus
will revive its ancient splendor.
New YORK, March THE Post in its
financial article says Senator Window is
regarded here as, to put it mildly, an ex-
pansion island theory, on which Wall street
is acting, and that he will turn adrift a
good part of the coin in the Treasury by
means of bond purchases. 1t may be that
his views, when he has responsibilities OF
Office upon him, will be more conservative
than his record on the currency question
leads spectators to expect.
The Commercial says of the appointment
of Window to the Treasury: 1t may be
taken for granted that a Western policy, or
q currency of gold and silver coin, and
debt paving to the latest available dollar
in the Treasury will rule in the new Cabi-
net. Blaine, who is to be Secretary Of
State, is as much in favor of this policy as
Window himself. Nor is the President
any other than a gold and silver man, and
will soon prove a debt paying in place of a
debt r~efunding Executive. After the Cab
met was announced, as far as the Treasu-
nv is concerned, there was a bound in
prices on the Stock Exchange.
New YORK, March THE Tribune's
London special says Notwithstanding the
sympathy with the late Gen. Colley per-
sonally, military men unanimously con-
denim his attack on Spitzkop as a fault
alike of conception and execution. They
eulogize at the same time his courage and
the military capacity Of the Beers. The Min
listers censure still more gravely Colley's
pOiltiCdl proceedings. " 10 huOWL, tuOuSu
not publicly stated, that Coliey delayed
negotiations with the Beers, hoping to re-
trieve his two former disasters before be-
ing compelled to accord either an armis-
tice or peace. Two Ministers say hat the
Beers probably first learned of the inten-
ton of the Government towards them from
an examination of papers found in Colley's
pocket after his death. An intimate friend
of Colley describes him as having an in
sane contempt for danger or prudence,
hence his judgment in military matters
was hopelessly unsound. Gen. Roberts
appointment is widely disapproved. Peo-
pie in military circles are asking, Why
send Roberts, who is so ignorant of the
country, when Wesley knows every inch
Of the ground2" The general feeling is
that Major General Wood has been un-
handsomely treated, Gen. Newdigate, an
officer of little recommendation, except
from mere rank, being put over his head,
while Roberts, who is moreover known to
be in weak health, is placed over him also.
