TIE REST ESSNESS OF THH
NATIONS.
Spectator, 25M Jaa,)

The century has been one of almost con-
tinuous progress, but its close is being mark
ed by a singular epidemic of restlessneSs
among the nations. They all say they are
powerful and prosperous and advancing, but
they all give signs Of deep dissatisfaction
with their position. In France, where pop
ulatiOn does not increase, large divisions Of
the people declare the social system Il mere
source Of misery, while the whole commu-
nifty restIessly desire to change tie external
position of their country. They are thirsty
for more glory, more excitement, more
'poSition' among the nations Of the world.
They are afraid Of war, yet hungry for war,
and would risk almost anything if they
could only b. sure Of striking some grand
coup which would live in his: Dry and increase
the worlds perception that the French are
a great people, 1t is not only THEN provinces
they want, but what Byron styled 'the
earthquake voice of victory" No statesman
even processes to know what France in her
ieverish discomfort with mon, institutions,
events, and above all, rivals, may be impelled
to do. In Germany discomfort is actual
w burning, and is fed every day by
an Emperor who cannot be q let, aud
who dreams dreams of a Germany grown sud
denly rich, and Of an Empire a. great
in the world As II is now IN E,uaopo
wherein he shall be recognised is the
mighty child Of the centuries. There the
unress is deepened by ali economic situation
which, if it continues, will produce the
grayest results. The people increase yearly
in numbers, their industrial activity goes on
ever developing but their physical comfort
does not increase in the same proportion.
The spread of material civilization makes
them feel their poverty in a new way, and they
are positively raging with desire for changes,
which, nevertheless, they see no way to re-
alise at once, To) much organised, too
much administered, they long for a freedom
which is incompatible with their history of
drill, and would have their people at once

DIFFICULTY BETWEEN DOCTORS.
The Junior I'm Rank Tried by Court
Martial.

Martial.
The recent personal disagreement between
Maj. Robert H. White and Capt. Charles b.
Ewing, both of the medical department, has
resulted In the trial Of the last named by
court-martial These officers are stationed
at Jefferson barracks, Mo-, but do not get
along we'll together. Capt. Ewing recen tly
applied for change In his duties, so that he
could be absent from the post on alternate
afternoons. The request was referred to
Maj. White, who returned it with an indorse-
ment, saying that Capt. Ewing had been
absent from the post one-fourth of the time,
that officers and their families refused to re-
ceive his professional services, and recon-
mending that the special status asked for
by Capt Ewing be granted for the entire
time.
Maj. White informed the commanding
officer, also. that if Capt. Ewing desired to
pursue course of study he (White) would
recommend that he be allowed to do SO. To
this Capt. Ewing replied in subsequent in
dorsement, that Maj. Whites Endorsement
contained many false statements. Refer
ringto Maj. Whites Endorsement, Capt Ew-
ing said: This comes with very bad grace
from a man who professionally has no
special claim to distinction as a physician,
much less as surgeon, and whose personal
character is such that he has not hesitated
to repeatedly falsify mis- public accounts"
Complaint was made to Maj. Gen. Merritt
against Capt. Ewing and he was tried by
court-martial on charges of conduct unbe-
coming an officer and gentleman and of
conduct to the prejudice Of good order and
military discipline. The court found him
guilty in part and sentenced him to suspen-
sion from rank and duty for three months.
the limits Of the post Gen. Merritt has ap-
proved the sentence.

GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS

LONDON, January 20.-Thc Globe this
afternoon, in an article condemning the at
titude of the United States Senate commit
tee on foreign relations, says:
The English people will not stand much
more fouting from anypody, and these gem
tlemen, whom we credit with no mora eX-
alted sentiment than the wish To stand well
with their Irish constituents, may very
easily find themselves face to face with d
situation that could only be called ap-
FALLING"
In spite of the assertions of the sensa-
tional news agency to the contrary, the
Associated Press is IN u position to repeat
its assertions of Saturday that it has been
Informed by the British admiralty that the
destination of the flying squadron, now a
Spithead, is not yet determined, even by
the admiralty, and that certainly 1t will
rot so to Bermuda or anywhere in Amer
lean waters for the present.
The reports from New York that COM
municationS regarding the destination of
the British flying squadron have passed
between the governments of the United
States and Great Brain are pronounced
TO be utterly without foundation in fact.

rope to have access to at least half of the

sions to this point, the only thing tina. can
happen will be that all Europe Will arrive
at an understanding oy which they VIII
close their ports to American ships, a
measure which will make America ask for
mercy within a week.

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
The Delegates and Alternates and How
They Are Chosen.
Maj. Mckee Gives Some Information
That is of Interest at
This Time.
VEN TlONS

AS interest grows in the coming national
conventions there are increasing inquiries
for information concerning the manner of
choosing delegates to the conventions. One
of the best posted men in the country on
all questions of party machinery is Capt.
Thomas H.. Mckee, present journal clerk
of the House.
THE republican and democratic national
conventions will comprise a membership Of
!So4 delegates and a like number of alter
nates," said Capt. Mckee to a Star re-
porter today. 1.-The alternates will sit on
the floor of the convention, but will only
take part in the proceedings to fill va
cancies in the list of delegates.
Representation in the convention is
based upon two delegates for each member
of the national House of Representatives
and two for each United States Senator
with similar number of alternates, to-
gether with two from each of the terri
tories of Alaska, Oklahoma, New Mexico,
Arizona and the District of Columbia.
TIL. method of choosing delegates is
TINS: The national committee fixes the tirle
for choosing delegates, and the chairman
of the district committee in tie congress
SIGNAL district issues a call to the counties
composing the district for a district con-
Vention. The county chairman calls a
county convention and issues a notice to
the wards and townships for the election
OIL delegates to the latter. That runs it
back to the people.
Now You have the people in each ward
and township sending delegates to the coun-
ty convention, this body electing delegates
to the district convention, and the latter
choosing two delegates and two alternates
to the national convention.
But there are yet four delegates at large
TO be elected Oh behalf of the Senators, or
II there should happen to be a represent
tive at large from the state, six men at
large. A separate convention is called for
this purpose. a state convention, composed
OF delegates from each county, the latter
sent by mass conventions or ward and
township primaries.
Some of the states have no district or
ganizations, and the calls are then made
direct to the county committees OF course
every one knows that in the democratic ma
tional convention it requires a two-thirds
vote to nominate, while a majority does IL
In the republican national convention"
At the recent meeting of the democratic
national committee in this city a resolution
was adopted to give six delegates to the
District of Columbia and to each territory
In order to be effective this resolution must
be adopted by the convention itself

A SITE SELECTED
Where the Proposed Sherman Statue
Will Be Placed.
FHE SELECT COMMISSION DECIDE
1t Shall Go on the Grounds South
of the Treasury.
SECY LAMONT'S REMARKS

select commission. consisting of Secre-
taly Lamont, Gen. Miles, L. s A. and
zen. Dodge OF the Society of the Army of
the tennessee. had short meeting in the
once OF the Secretary of War this after
noon Tor the purpose of selecting a site for
the proposed monument to Gen. Sherman.
The Unanimous Decision.
snort Interchange of views developed
the fact that the commission was unani-
meusiy in favor of the selection of a site
off1cially described as follows: That Dor
ucn of the grounds south of the Treasury
department, and bounded as follows: on
tne Eorth by the street Immediately south
OF the Treasury Department; on the east
Dy loth street; on the south by ID street
extended, and on the west by the gravel
road around the ellipse and the south
grounds OF the Executive Mansion
small frame building used by the
treasury Department as a Photographic
gallery now occupies portion of the site
selected, and it will have TO be torn down
and removed.
Secretary Lamonfs Recommendation.
Secretary Lamont in his last annual re-
port to Congress-, made the following re-
marks on the subject of equestrian statues
in Washington, which seem specially peril
nent in connection with the sherman
monument:
In the last report of the depart -nent it
Gen. Sherman had been selected at the
east front of the Capitol, north of Green
oughs statue of Washington and il was
recommended that a site for a Statue to
Gen. Grant be reserved In the correspond
ing plat south of the statue of Washington
In making the appropriation for the statue
10 Gen. Sherman, Congress, however, spe-
clncally prescribed that il should not be
erected on the site designated. This ne
cessitates the selection of another site
The recommendation that Congress pro-
vide the appropriation for a memorial at
the national capital worthy TO perpetuate
the memory of Gen. Grant is renewed
with the prospect well assured that
In time Washington will rank with the
most notable cities of the world in its OPEN
air memorials and statues, and with the
und1sguised fact that our present statues
are OF varying degrees of beauty and in
some instances, of Indifferent merit beg
to repeat suggestion in the last report for
a change in the method of supervising the
erection of such memorials. 1t lis again
suggested that the President he authorized
to appoint permanent commission select
ed from the citizens of the country best
qnaAred TO pass On questions of art in
volved, to whom shall be intrusted the Sc
Lection of designs and sites for the future
monuments of the capital"
