1t is understood that the War Department
authorities have decided to transfer the
troops now at Fort Niger to other posts and
to bring hither in their place four troops Of

General Guy V. Henry. Col Gordon, who is
slated to succeed Gen. Henry in command

an excellent squadron. but the newcomers

Good behavior has been the almost I'M

The horrible tragedy which took place in
East Washington yesterday morning teaches
a lesson that should not be permitted to
pass UNDECIDED The sanctity of the home
is a precious thing, and SO is human life.
There are times when the circumstances
surrounding n arital infidelity prompt 10 the
commission of murder. but only ~ rare in
teryais does there appear to be justification
for the administration of the death penalty
by a self-coLstituted court. As to the guilt
or innocence of the woman who was hurried
into eternity, any expression of opinion
would, at this time, be unseemly; the
verge of dissolution she pleaded innocence,
and until conviction is complete. that plea
must stand OF the murderous guilt Of ner
husband, there is not, nor can there be, any
question. That the awful happening VIII
friShten people into the path of virtue is
not at AL likely, but it may serve good
purpose if it teaches jealous husbands and
wives the folly of attempting to punish one
crime by the commission of another. The
nan OF woman who is faithless to the vows
made before heaven can quite properly be
Regarded as too worthless to waste ammu-
milton upon.

prevent the possible growth Of anti-British
feeling in Japan. From the beginning it
was evident that English influences would,
in the struggle which is now on, be favor
able to China. The conduct Of the British
naval officer at Wei-Hai-Wei strongly cor
roborates several hitherto incoherent scraps
of testimony. IL Great Britain knows when
she is well of she will refrain from med
ding in the Chinese-Japanese imbroglio,
for Russia only needs a very fiimsy excuse
to make movement that could not do
otherwise than cause Great Britain much
anxiety, and perhaps bring on a conflict
between the two powers that have ever
since the Crimean war teen growing at
each other over their possessions in the
East For years past, European statesmen
have been extremely careful of utterance
and have equipped even their thoughts with
rubber shoes, lest the much-prophesied
European war should, through a foolish re-
mark or an unconsidered act. be brought to
pass. Would it not be strange if an English
naval officer with pro-Chinese sympathies
or instructions should start the fateful ball
rolling in the China seas?

When the American yacht Vigilant was
being SO vigorously and unfairly criticised
and her owners and navgators abused
without stint, there was much guessing on
this side of the Atlantic as to the causes
which prompted such inhospitable conduct,
and many harsh things were said of that
ancient British theory as to British fair
play. The truth is out at last 1t was
brought over by Admiral Erben of the
United States Navy, who was in England
when the Britannia and the Vigilant were
striving for honors. The admiral SAYS that
a great many Englishmen were much dis
appointed because of the failure of Mr.
Goulds yacht to win at least a ma jority of
the races. something those same English
men had bet on being accomplished. 1t was
supposed by Americans who felt hurt at
the English newspaper innuendo that the
harshness was merely an expression of
anti-American feeling, but Admiral Erben' s
revelation would seem to show that the
CRITICISMS originated with the possessors
or pocketbooks that were flattened because
their owners risked their money on the sue
cess OF a foreign yacht. Thus is another
great mystery uncovered and explained.

FROM Brazil comes rumor which declares
that those who were most prominent in
the revolt which was finally suppressed by
President Peixoto will once more endeavor
to overthrow the republic and to proclaim
monarchy over at least the province of
Rio Grande do Sui. This rumor, however,
is denied by Admiral Mello who was one
OF the insurgent leaders during the recent
rebellion Not only is the denial very posi-
tive. but countercharge is filed by the
admiral. who says that it is strongly the
opinion of many Brazilians that President
Peixoto will refuse to turn over his office
to President-elect Moraes when the day
for the Inauguration of the latter comes
around. The Mello idea is that Peixoto will
soon announce himself as military dictator.
and in support of this conclusion the ad-
miral calls attention to the fact that Peix-
otto has increased the army from 1900
to 2iOVO men, has purchased about one
hundred and fifty thousand rifles and has
ordered heavy ordnance and large quaint
tiles of defensive material for the forts
now in his possession. The possibility of
dictatorship is never remote in any of
the South American countries, SO Mello's
accusation is by no means strange one,
but it is nothing less than absurd to talk
of re-establishing a monarchical govern
ment in Brazil or anywhere else ON this
continent Administrations in the United
States may and do and will differ as to poll
cies bit whether the executive and legisla-
tive powers be in the hands of democrats,
republicans, populists or prohibitionists,
there would be instant action on the part
of the United States should any effort be
made TO substitute monarchical methods
for republican Institutions.
