Mr.. LOWS STATEMENT.

Seth Lows latest statement ought to prove
force making for union. 1t will accomplish
union il the leaders Of the Republican organiza-
ton take it In a reasonable and proper spirit.
II settles definitely one important point, and
makes unnecessary any further speculation
about the possibility Of turning the independent
vote to a straight Republican candidate, or OF
making combination on some other nOn-par-
tisan nomination Mr.. Low is In the field to
stay That may be depended upon. IL Mr..
Plat dominates n separate candidate he will do
It s0uarely in face Of the fact that he Is not
forcing the Independents to come to him or to
accept a new candidate but that he Is taking
himself out of the company OF the other anti
Taminany forces. Such a course II persisted
In to the polls, can mean nothing but Tam
many Mayor unless indeed, it Is possible that
the Republican machine would not draw away
enough votes from Mr.. Low to defeat him.
But while Mr.. Lows statement is notice
that ne will stand to the end. ii Is also an in
yltaton to the Republican organlzation-a per
fectiy consistent and self-respectful invitation,
but an invitation nevertheless. He gives rea-
so,S. which even the strictest partisan must adj
mil TO have force. why he considers himself
bound to respond TO what nobody can deny was
a popular call Al the same time he shows that
such an action may not properly be interpreted
rs anita onistic to the Republican party When
he was elected Mayor of Brooklyn the second
time 1t was as the result Of non-partsan nom'
nation by niass-meetlng. which the Republican
organization subsequently iadorsed That CAM
paign bore somewhat the same relation TO that
of his first election, when he was put 10 the
aeld after inter-party negotiations and with.
drawals, rs the present campaign bears to that
Of 1894. when various organizations united on
Mayor Strong. He does not understand why
the Republican organization should nnd an out
side movement insulting In 1897 and entirely
courteous In 1888 He repudiates any desire to
wound the pride Of the Republican organization
or repel its support He frankly desires its
aid, and would accept Its nomination on any
platform that left him unequivocally committed
TO the local non craftsmanship he IL pledged to In
his letter OF acceptance.
Mr. Low thus removes every vcstige OF ex-
cuse for sensltvcpess on the part Of the Kepub-
lIcan organization. The fact that 100000 citi-
Gems not members Of the Union want him for
Mayor may well appeal to organization lead
ers a. good reason for making him their can
didats and perhaps getting the support OF the

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.

Third-party reporters OF confidential doings
are not always infallible. OF late. indeed. they
have shown themselves more versatile than
veracious. The plans and intentions Of the
Spanish and American Governments toward
each other were recently set forth with much
detail by the German press in manner equally
sensational and imaginative. More recently the
French press took up the prophecy, with no bet
ter result The Temps" Of Paris is serious
and usually trustworthy journal. on French
affairs It may be regarded as high authority;
nor was there prlma facie reason for discredit
Ing Its news Of Spanish American relations. Yet
in the very nature Of the case authentic in
formation Of the latter was to he looked for first
from either Madrid or Washington, and In its
absence tidings from elsewhere were properly
to be accepted with much reservation
Such information has now come to hand, and
It shows the story OF an ultimatum TO be with
out foundation In Truth. That was to be ex.
pected. Excepting In such extraordinary cir.
cumstances as DO not now exist between Spain
and the United States a Minister does not mark
his arrival at the Court to which he Is accred
tied with virtual declaration OF war; Friend
" representations and arguments come first
The ultImatum is, as the word implies. the last
resort. II does not appear that negotiations be-
tween the two Governments have yet reached
such a stage as to call for ten days notice Of
momentous alternatives That instead Of this
the American Minister presented the views OF
his Government with an expressed hope that
the Spanish Government would find It conven-
lent TO make reply on the Courts return to the
capital ten days hence, Is entirely supposahle.
as 1t also IL that the French reporter m!sunder-
stood that request for menace.
1t was, Of course, to be expected that the new
American Minister at Madrid would at the earll-

According to decision handed down yesterday
by Justice Chase. in the Supreme Court. John Au.
gustus Pell. who died Pau. France. In July. 1884,
leaving a large estate running up into several mill
ion dollars. was legally resident Of the State Of
New York, and his will must be administered
cordng to the laws OF this State The Justice
also holds the provision in Mr. Pell's will which
compes his daughter. Mrs. Charles Harris Phelps.

Justice Chase says that. Mr.. Phelps evidently

continues, is direct inducement TO the laughter
