Corbin Against AIger.

It will not surprise anybody who has
followed the events of the recent war
that Secretary Alger should be repre-
sented as resentful of the deliberate and
solemn assertion of Adjutant General
Corbin that the declaration of war found
the War Department absolutely unpre-
pared even for the first step: that, be-
lieving and hoping there would be no war
until it was actually declared, it had
done nothing in anticipation of call on
all its resources and energies. Secre-
tary Alger, in his letters and reports, has
taken no small amount of credit for the
foresight with which every possible con-
sideration had been given to the demands
of a war and the vast amount of work
that had been done in anticipation of
the impending declaration. He recited
this as a proof that human wisdom and
energy could do no more, and that what
ever defects there were in the service
were unavoidable and could not be
charged to the lack of foresight and zeal.
The President also, in his message to
Congress, implied that, in the fear that
war would come the War Department
and the Navy Department had been tire
less in planning to put an army into the
field and ships on the sea at the ear
liest moment after war should be a fact
he positively stated that this declaration
found the Government mot unprepared
for war;
The Navy Department early demon
strated its readiness Admiral Dewey
had been instructed in advance of the
declaration to be entirely ready to strike
which accounts for the early destruction
of the Spanish warships in Manila Bay
There were many things that could not
be done until the final action of Con-
gress, but the readiness to do them in
stantly showed that the Navy Depart
ment had acted on the belief that it was
wise to be prepared to begin If war
should come. This is the impression
which Secretary Alger has given as to
the War Department also. and he has
not been slow or over-modest in claim
ing credit for it.
Yet the adjutant general, in whose Of
fee the first steps must be taken, goes
before the Alger Relief Commission and
volunteers the statement that all de-
fects. if there were any, were due en-
tireiy to the fact that the War Depart
ment had such strong hope that war
would NOT come that nothing was done
until the declaration of war was made

pro,c..or Apdre,v.,s Idea.

Some people are finding fault with Prof.
T. Benjamin Andrews, superintendent Oh
the Chicago schools for what they call
his peculiar views on education. He has
lately declared that the true idea of edu-
cation is to teach all views of subject
and let the pupils decide for themselves
which is true Some of his critics con-
tend that this would turn the public
schools into courts, with the pupils as
judges and that "the immature minds
of children hardly make them competent
the schools the children should acquire
some positive convictions"
1t is not likely that Professor Andrews
would advocate the presentation of all
sorts of views with absolute impartiality.
This could not be done under any cir
cumstances, because some things cannot
possibly be made attractive. Ii would be
impossible, for example, to make the In
QUESTION look attractive, or to present
General Weyler in a light which would
recommend him to the ordinary American
child of this generation. What Professor
Andrews really meant by his somewhat
unusual statement was doubtless that in
cases where difference of opinion was
natural the child should be led to see both
sides. not taught that the teachers View
was the only right and possible one 1t is
not of momentous Importance that any
child should acquire deep convictions on
most subjects outside the domain of abb
solute fact. 1t is important that he
should be taught as early as possible the
desirability of forming his own opinion
and forming it right. 1t is well that he
should be taught that there are two sides
to nearly every question, and that how
ever firmly convinced he may be of the
right and justice of his own side, there
are people just as good as he is who think
differently. He should be led to investi-
gate, to reason and to love truth above
all things. Children are natural par
tisans; it is not necessary to give them
any encouragement in that line.

TWO TROPHY sH1ps OF War.
Two Captured Vessels Delivered at
Norfolk Navy Yard


Norfolk, Va. Dec. 24.-The first two
trophy ships Of the spanish-American
war to be safely delivered at a United
States navy yard arrived at this station
at noon today.
They were the former gunboats Al
varado and Sandoval. direct from Guam
tanamo Bay. where they had been fitted
out. The Sandoval is commanded by
Lieut.. Anderson, the gallant North Caro-
linian who cut the cables at Cienfuegos
under fire in an open boat.
The Alvarado is under command of
Lieut.. Blue, the first American naval Of
ficer to positively locate Cervera's feet
in Santiago Harbor. The little craft are
rated as torpedo boats. They Will prob
ably be used as destroyers. The boats
are each ITO feet long. quite comfortable,
and speedy.
The Alvarado wars one of the gunboats
captured when Santiago surrendered
The Sandoval was dismantled and wreck
ed by her own captain when he saw that
escape from the American fleet in Guam
tanamo Bay was impossible. The breech-
blocks were broken off and thrown over
board and the guns otherwise rendered
useless. The vessel was then sunk
The Sandoval was afterward raised and
refitted Last night, while in the Abe
marie and Chesapeake Canal, they had
narrow escape from destruction in the
midst of a jam of logs from a raft
Skiilfui navigation, however, extricated
them.

EXPORTS TO SOUTH AFRICA.
Canada Making an Effort to Court
Favor In Cape Colony.

The State Department has received a
communication from Consul General
Stowe at Cape Town regarding exports of
in Cape Colony.
He says; Canada is coming to the
front as an exporter to South Africa. not
only through foreign ports, but direct
from New York. especially in cereals. tim
ber and products of the dairy Canada
fish, stoves, soaps, iron roofing and many
other products. While most of the ex-
ports have passed through the port of
New York, on account of its proximity
to her industries. yet a steamer is now on
the way here from Quebec with full car
go. 1t is claimed by Canadian exporter:
that the port of New York is much nearer
to the manufacturing centers of the do
minion than TO many similar centers of
the United States, and consequently rail-
road freights are cheaper.
"The establishment in Cape Town of
what is hoped to be permanent exhibit
of Canadian products is worthy of COM
mendation. and emphasizes the advice
given to our manufacturers In this ex-
hibition are found samples of household
office. school and church furniture, hard
wood fittings. organs, pianos. bicycles.
doors, sash and frames. metal ceilings
lathings. and interior finishings. pressed
brick. soap, crackers and biscuits. canned
fruits and vegetables. woolen and cotton
goods, cigars, split peas and rolled oats,
betting, vehicles. woodworking machin-
cry, flour mill machinery, dairy outfits
and products, ETC."

welcome Home.

The American Peace Commissioners
reached Washington yesterday and We're
welcomed at the White House with the
warmth the service they have rendered
to the country and to the President justly
merited That they had no easy task is
known in a general way by everybody,
including European diplomats. who un-
derstand the character of the Spanish
representatives and the desperate condi-
ton in which their nation was placed
In the welcome back to their own land
the American Commissioners should re-
ceive the credit that belongs to them. 1t Is
to be recalled that Spain was called upon
to surrender virtually all her colonial
possessions-all that remained of an en-
pire that was once one of the proudest
and most powerful in the world. 1t was
a question with her representatives
whether it was worth while to- attempt to
effect treaty. Spain could have nothing
more to lose, since Europe would never
tolerate an American invasion of that
country, according to their belief. They
could afford to be defiant if the worst
came. IL Is uOuDilul IL luey Nouiu nave
gone on as quietly as they did but for the
hope that some power would intervene.
When this was abandoned only the tact
of the Americans and the prospect of n
money payment could prevent Il rupture.
Indeed, a rupture was very near.
The Importance of reaching an end to
the war by treaty can hardly be over
estimated. 1t was not impossible that our
menace of a Chinese wall about the new
possessions might cool the ardor of Eng
lands friendship and that in second at
tempt to negotiate treaty some power
might interfere. The American people
can well afford to acknowledge the ability
and patriotism with which their work has
been done without the least departing
from the program laid down for the Com
mission by the President, representing
the intense desire of a vast majority of
the people.

MIR. sHERMAN's VIEWS.
Opposed to the appointment of Sen.
ators on Communications.

Hon. John Sherman, former senator and
night at his X Street residence. The ven-
erable statesman was seated in his library
before cracking fire, and in front of
him, propped on the arms of chair, was
a huge atlas of the world opened at the
Philippine Islands. to which he was re-
ferring occasionally in his perusal of a
magazine article on expansion.
Mr.. Sherman was informed that a state
ment from him at this time regarding
the war and his opinion as to its man
agement and more particularly the con-
troversy between Gen. Miles and the COM
missary department, would interest the
public.
LAS to the controversy you speak Of"
he replied, without hesitation, II know
nothing about il. While Gen. Miles mar
ried my niece, he never has talked over
his affairs with me- ! have understood
there was a friendly difference of opinion
between the general and the department
regarding some things in the campaign.
but there is no i'll feeling existing, l am
sure
Mr.. Sherman then drew n few whiffs
at his cigar. glanced at his magazine, and
then mechanically inquired how the
Peace Commissioners were looking on
their return from Paris.
DO you think their work has been well
done?" he was asked.
Il think" he replied, that it is grave
mistake TO send senators to frame a
treaty which they are required TO ratify
afterwards. Such a thing as that was
never done while / was a member of the
Senate. But 1 am a private citizen now,
and my views are not necessary. If
We're a member of the Senate l should
york with all my power against such a
treaty. 1t is absurd to pay Spain $50 900 600
for something that did not belong to her
1 am opposed to taking the Philippines,
as / have stated in letter published in
Boston.
Senator Davis, Senator Frye and Sena-
tor Gray, who were members of the Com
mission, are also members of the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate of
which l was chairman for many years,
and to them will be referred the treaty
which they helped make, and of which
they will be in favor. This is a mistake
and the Senate ought to make rule
which will in the future prevent senators
from accepting a personal appointment
from the President" concluded Mr. Sher-
man.

A Southern View.

From the Richmond Dispatch.

(trom the hichinond Dlsp2tchl
Supposing that this were Democratic Ad-
ministration. supposing that the President had
made peace jubilee tour OF the South the other
day. And supposing that some enthusiastic Con-
iederate had pinned Confederate veterans camp
badge upon the lapel OF his coat and that he wore
it for hours What then? Wouldn't the fun have
been fast and furious by this timer We rather
think so.
We doubt not that Foraker would be in
hospital as the result of attack Of convul-
sions; that Chandler would be suffering from ner-
vous prostation superinduced by over exertion
in waving the bloody shirt; that Boutelle would
be in a dead faint in consequence of rushing
the preparation of articles OF impeachment. and
that the air would now resound with cries of
treason uttered by the South haters ard super
loyalists of minor degree. As it is, the silence
is almost unbroken-
There was, Of course, harm in the badge
episode, but between the President and the
enthusiastic Confederate veteran, the Republican
extremists and the professional G. A. r. loyalists
have been placed in very awkward and trying
position. They would give the world to howl
but they can't. They would give the world were

THE CAREER OF Aau1NALDo.
Gen. Whittier Thinks the Filipino
Remarkable Man.

New York, Dec. A.-One of the passen-
gers on the st. Louis from Southampton
today was Brig. Gen. C. A. Whittier. U.
s. ". who was an inspector general on
the staff Of Gen. Merritt at Manila. Gen.
Whittier was ordered to proceed to Paris
from Manila and give information to the
American Peace Commissioners in rela-
tion to the resources of the islands and
the customs of the natives.
After the fall of Manila Gen. Whittier
was inspector of customs and had gem
erai direction of the civil affairs of tho
city. He left Manila for Paris on Octo-
ber u. Speaking of the conditions of the
Philippines at the time he left Gen.
Whittier said:
1T seems that anything that can grow
in tropical country will flourish in the
Philippines. Everybody knows of the
hemp production, but 1t is not l think,
generally known that the Manila tobacco
Is very fine and can be much improved
by proper cultivation. There is rot the
slightest doubt in my mind that Manila
Tobacco cultivated by improved methods
VII! In time be equal to the best Havana
tobacco. and experts there agree with me
in this opinion
Il believe that enough rice can be
grown in the islands to supply almost the
Whole world. An idea may be gained,
although but an inadequate one. of the
value of the customs receipts when | tell
you that the receipts of the Manila Gus
tom house for a little less than two
months were something over $l,C03. Co.,
This hnSinGSG Hnna Of
everything was in state of chaos and
nobody wanted to invest money in any
thing
When asked IL he had met Aguinaldo.
Gen. Whittier replied:
Yes. l met him several times. For a
man of his age he is about as able a cit
izen as / know. As we consider men. this
Filipino is u mere boy. He is only
twenty-nine years old, and l have yet to
learn of a man of his age in this century
who has accomplished much more than
he.
He went alone to Manila with Dewey.
His followers were scattered, and they
had no leader in whom they had conf
denee. Within a short time he had or
ganized an arms of 5000 men and so
completely surrounded the city OF Ma
Mia that when Gen. Merritt and Admiral
Dewey sent their joint note to the COM
mander of the city informing him that it
was TO be bombarded and requesting that
non-combatants be removed the answer
came back that 1t was impossible for the
commander TO remove them, as the in
surgents completely surrounded the city.
AS for the Natives, / think we will
have no trouble with them. They are,
as rule, Intelligent and peaee-:oving,
with natural desire To attend to their
own business. They will gladly accept
any government which will insure them
reasonable liberty and permit them to
cultivate their fields and follow their
usual vocations in peace and quiet"
