be said in part at least. concerning legislation
for the reorganization Of the Navy The real, or
at least the most serious, obstacle in the way or
reorganization legislation is the officers them
selves and, as a Representative in Congress SAID
day or two ago: Unless they bury their diifer-

'gress make it appear that it Is the general good
'of the service, not selfish ends they are striving
for, have no hope Of anything being done now
cor hereafter" The situation suggests that there
is in the Army at least, too much or too strong
individualiSm when il comes TO question OF
passing a law to put the service on what Is be-
lieved to be a modern footing Special legislation
is as General Miles says. vicious legislation. ana
all efforts to benefit a few at the expense OF
many are certain TO meet with strong opposition
and result in failure. Members OF both houses
Of Congress declare that they are annoyed by
the selfish pleas and protests sent TO them as
private communications. 1t should not be dill
cult for the officers to lay aside individual desires
and get together for the general benefit. linen,
and not until then. will Congress have no excuse
for delaying action.

ARMY AND NAVY IN CONGRESS-.

At the first session Of every new Congress
many bills are presented for the reorganization
Of the Army and the Navy. This year the Army
bills are even more numerous than usual. Major
General Nelson A. Miles. the commanding gen.
eral Of the Army, reinforces what The Tribune
has already asserted when he says that one great
obstacle to legislation concerning the reorganiza
ton of the Army has been the want Of harmony
among officers, and the efforts that have been
made by individuals to urge special legislation
tina: would in some way directly or Indirectly
benefit themselves, regardless Of possible serious
injury 10 others There is already much reason
10 doubt the passage of any of the bills for
Army reorganization at this session; and while
the condition OF the Treasury IS one Of the ser-
GUS questions that stand in the way 1T Is not so
much on this account that action on the DIS Is
DELAYED, as because Of the strong differences OF
oninion among officers who get the ears OF mem
bers.
What is said about Army legislation may also

Of the English people, have for years been max

GREAT BRITAIN AND RUSSIA.

The Russo-Turkish treaty Is, Of course, a ire
mendous blow TO the old anti-l.nssian policy Of
England 1t Is a destructive commentary upon
the asian mystery" business to which Dlsrneli
SO largely devoted his spectacular talents. 1t
must be Il humillating thing to Lord Salisbury
Nor indeed, Is II a thing that the civilized world
in general can regard with pleasure, for 1t Is an
alliance between two scm-barbarous Powers
and will insure the continuance OF semi-barbar
Gus rule IN the East. This latter Is, however
such n consideration as does not greatly count
I'm European diplomacy, which is usually wholly
selfish In It's aims and motives. Apart from mere
humane sentiment then. there is no reason why
Great Britain should not acqucscc in this new
move Of Russia; nor why she should not actually
come to perfectly friendly understanding with
the great Northern Power. Whatever cause she
may have had II. years past for opposing and
thwartlng Russia at every step she can have
none now, unless on the extreme ground Of resist
ing the development OF IL reactionary. tyrannical
and half-savage Power, for the sake OF humanity
and civilization in general.
ConstantinOple Is no longer the gateway TO
India The Suez Canal has taken It's place rs
such. England practically owns the canal, and
Egypt itself She has therefore lost interest In

have It, That will make Russia IA Mediterranean
Power It is true But she is that already, In all
but name She keeps fleet there, with French
dockyar1s as It's base Of supply. 1t will be no
harder to guard against the Russian fleet in the
Mediterranean then than now. And IL would be
the part Of wisdom to let Russia reach unfrozcn
seas in the Mediterranean rather than In the
Persian Gulf. In Asia, too, there may well be
