American commissioners Spend the
Day in Sightseeing.

peace commissioners devoted the day
to sightseeing with the energy and en-

calling on the commissioners or at
taches, while many grouped about in
the lobbies, discussing the late war,
giving the gilded hostelry the appear
ance of an American political conven-
ton. Much amusement was created
by the action of the hotel proprietor,
who, intending to pay graceful COM
pliment to his guests, raised the
American and Spanish flags side by
side. The combination excited curious
comments among the thousands of
passersby during the day.

Cass Lake, Mimi, Sept. 27.-1t is re-
Ported here by half-breed and others
that the Indians of Leech Lake are
threatening to to burn and destroy the
buildings, bridges and other property

large force at Walker of some Indians
for selling whisky to their own tribe,
and trying to create rebellion against
peaceful Indians as we'll as whites.
There is much uneasinesS among the

some measure upon such foreign markets for
the consumption Of part Of the production now
In progress. II prices are advanced In any line
far enough to cut Off this outgo, some part of
the production may remain unsold. or some part
of the producing force may become idle. But
the producing force Is now sufficient In many
branches to meet all the needs Of this country
and a considerable foreign demand also. Ad-
vancing prices would not tend to lessen, but TO
increase, production. Thus restriction Of sales
abroad would operate to throw back upon home
markets an unsold surplus which would tend
strongly to push prices down again. The truth
Is that the protective policy. by stimulating
home production to the utmost, tends In the
long run to cheaper products for consumers as
far and rs fast as the cost of production can
be reduced by invention and Improvement, and
there is reason to question whether this natural
and permanent influence can be generally set
aside, even for a time, when the producing
forces Of the country are rapidly expanding.

REBVILDING ANNAPOLIS.

Professor Charles Eliot Norton, writing OF
the nondescript character Of the architecture
at Harvard University, once declared that 1t
was a serious question If the University might
not proftably tear down all It's halls and re-
build after a coherent and artistic plan for the
sake of the educational influence Of good archi-
tectural surroundings on the student body. His
views are called to mind by the proposal to re-
construct the United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis.
The gospel OF beautiful surroundings has been
preached ever since Plato, and it Is sometimes
put in practice oxford and Cambridge place
the student in quadrangles that could not fail
TO give him some feeling for what is good in
art. In the last few years American insttu-
tons have begun somewhat to realize the ap-
Mailing ugliness Of some Of the structures which
adorn their campuses an ugliness which old
trees and hallowed associations may Offset, but
cannot hide Most Of the older colleges sprang
from small beginnings, and grew UP, building
by building, constructed with purely unitarian
aims Thirty years ago American architecture
was in a crude state, and the opportunities of
fered in the institutions Of large wealth like
Johns Hopkins Cornell and Vassar were not
improved II IS only recently that n sense Of
the educational value of artistic dormltories
and recitation halls has been realized by college
trustees The removal Of Columbia and the
University in this city to new quarters paved
the way for two admirable groups Of buildings,
and the architects of the Leland Stanford, Jr.,
University had the happy thought TO adapt the
characteristic style Of old California to college
edifices in such way as to make whole at
once suited TO the location and Of refining in
fuence. These examples should not be lost on
the United States Government when 1t attempts
TO reconstruct Annapolis.
1t is as easy TO do thing well as to do it
badly If Intelligence and forethought are al
lowed to have play before the beginning Of the
enterprise, and harmonious treatment Is en-
forced at every stage Of It's progress Practical
and scientific subjects predominant In the train
ing of naval officers, but that Is no reason why
their surroundings should not as much as pos
slble make for rounded culture. Moreover, a
Government institution has It's influence on the
whole country, and its buildings should not be
allowed to inculcate bad taste. II makes little
difference what particular scheme Is adopted
so long as It Is good one and consistently fol-
lowed out. The Manorial style OF the South
ern Colonies. which has been the motive Of some
excellent public buildings In the South, might
become Annapolis, and be well fitted for the de-
tached substantial, plain and reasonably mex
penslve buildings required for naval school,
II would certainly be appropriate to preserve
at Annapolis the stately old Maryland atmos-
pierre and any garish and ambitious scheme

hostile Power will ever succeed In landing half
n million men upon the shores Of japan Is too
improbable for serious consideration.
It may also be observed that these enormous
armameDts are not costing japan ruinous
sum. The enlarged army costs for maintenance
only some Sl4,OOO000 n year, and the malnten-
ance of the enlarged navy will cost not more
than SS,OO0,OO0 a year. or course, the total
revenue of Japan is proportlonately small, only
about S75,O0O,OOO year, so that this expendl-
ture for army and navy amounts To about 81
pcr cent of the whole. That is a larger proper
ton than is spent for such purposes by the
United States, Great Britain or France, but not
nearly as large as is spent by Germany. More
over, there Is every reason to suppose that the
ordinary revenue Of Japan will steadily and
rapidly increase, so that this war tax Will not
prove onerous There is little prospect OF the
empire falling back in the path it has entered.
II is henceforth to be reckoned with as one OF
the great militant Powers.
