Whitelaw Reid's commission as am
bassador to represent the United States at
Queen Viotoria's jubilee has been signed
by the President. The document is a
most elaborately engrossed paper, and is
considered one of the handsomest commits
sions ever issued by the State Depart
ment. Upon the conclusion of that func-
tion it is reported that Mr.. Reid is to go
to Madrid as special diplomatic represen-
tative of this country, to take charge of
certain important forthcoming negotia-
tions with Spain in the Cuban matter. 1t
is understood that these negotiations look
to the independence of the island on the
basis of a Cuban loan guaranteed by the
United States.

''In 1872 1883 miles of railway paid

paid $s1 ,375, IA in like dividends, or 1854
per mile being but 40 per cent of the
dividends per mile paid in 1S72.'' This
statement is taken from a report made
by MIR. Blanchard who uses it as a basis
for a plea for the necessity of some m cas-
ure of legal relief for the railroads. This
in connection with the fact that in 1873
the freight rate averaged Q 21 cents per
ton per mile, while in 1895 the rate aver
aged 839 of one cent Mr.. BIanch-

Little progress appears to have been
made up to date in arranging the terms
of peace between Turkey and Greece.
Turkey seems to be bent upon holding
Thessaly, and in this determination she
is said to have the support of the Emper-
or Of Germany who from the breaking
out of the conflict has been secretly on
the side of the Moslem OF course Eng
land is opposed to turning over Thessaly
to the Turks, but England's opinion has
not counted for much in the concert of
Europe heretofore and is not likely to
count for much in the present emergency,
unless Lord Salisbury manfests some of
the pluck and determination that the
Earl of Beaconsfield showed after the
treaty of San Stefano, when he sent a
British fleet to the Dardanelles and COM
PEELED the Gar to accept the treaty of
Berlin in lieu of that of San Stefano
But that is not likely and so Thessaly
will go back to Turkey unless there is
objection from Russia The rumor is
that objection will surely come from that
quarter. The Emperor of Germany up to
the present time has virtually taken the
lead in the European concert and has i'm
posed his will upon the allied powers. But
Russia is said to have revolted against a
change in the allegiance of Thessaly and
intimated to the Sultan that if he does not
leave Thessaly alone she will smash his
| sovereignty" If this be true he will un-
doubtedly leave it alone, even though
urged to hold on to it by Germany's war
lord But speculations abou ut the eee-
signs and wishes of the powers of Europe
in regard to Turkey are not very trust
worthy At best they are guesses, and
may be far from the truth. 1t is safe to
| assume, however, that Russia whose
dream has always been the absorption of
the Turkish empire and the possession of
Constantinople has not abandoned her
designs and will not willingly see the
Porte materially strengthened. Germany S
attitude can not be counted on with any
certainty because in her case we have to
deal with an erratic monarch, whose mind
| is not well balanced even if he is not
actually insane, and whose vision is dis
torted by intense vanity and egotism.

SENATOR MORGAN.
providence Journal.)

Senator Morgan is presumably telling
the truth when he says that never till
now in all his 20 years in Congress, has
he been called to order. Which merely
proves either that presiding officers have
been exceedingly lenient with him hither-
to or that his manner of conducting
himself has grown more disorderly in his
later years.

Senator Morgan feels certain that Spain
will soon declare war against the United
States. On what ground he bases this
belief it is difficult to imagine, unless he
thinks Spain despairs of holding Cuba
and thinks she could cover her discom-
future better by getting up IL war with the
United States. Whatever may be the fact
in regard to the masses of the Spanish
people, her statesmen and generals are
we'll enough acquainted with the strength
and resources of the United States to
know that contest with us would surely
eventuate in Spain's defeat, and if they
pick a quarrel with us it must be because
they want defeat. Up to the present
time however, Spain has shown no dis
position to get into quarrel with US
quite the contrary All our demands for
the release of American citizens confined
in the island have been promptly acceded
to, the order relative to the export Of
tobacco which injuriously affected
American owners was speedily modified
Spain has manifested a most conciliatory
disposition toward us. To the ordinary
observer Spain has appeared to be ex-
ceedingly anxious to avoid a conflict with
us. If she has changed her mind, as
Morgan appears to think, then it is be-
cause she feels that Cuba is lost and
thinks that it will be less humiliating to
surrender it as the result of war with us
than to give it up to the rebels directly.
But we imagine Senator Morgan is all
wrong in his apprehension in regard to
Spain's desiring war with us. 1t is quite
evident, however, from the persistency
with which he has pressed his bellig-
erency resolution that he would be only
| too glad if the United States could be in
yolved in conflict with Spain"
