UNHEEDED APOLOGIES.

This war will end with the flag of
America respected everywhere as it
never has been. In whatever port of
! the world ''Old Glory is unfurled here
after hats will come off. An American
henceforth will be shown the same con-
shideration that is conceded English
men the world around. But this war
will end with the people of the United
States entertaining entirely different
sentiments towards France and Ger
many. Any protestations of friendli-
ness that the representatives of these
governments may now make will not
avail. They did all they could to en-
barrass this country in a struggle and
about a matter in which there was no
attempted concealment and only the
most undisguised and open fairness.
Every word and act of the American
administration was h onesr and
straightforward. France and Germany.
respectively, maintained only such an
attitude as would have been excusable
had this nation been clearly in the
wrong or following up questionable
methods for the attainment of I'M
worthy ends. But unvarying, victories
and an unexpected demonstration Of
power have combined to bring the
rulers Of the countries named to their
senses. Insult and menace will now
be followed by fawning.
The call the German ambassador
recently made upon President McKin-
ley has especial significance. The
president would not have received the
gentleman had he not borne d message
from his august master and he would
not have attempted to deliver a mess
age personally had it been from any
body else in the German government.
1t is whispered that the message
borne to President Mckinley by the
German ambassador was couched in
the most friendly and cordial words
and left nothing TO be desired. The
Emperor of Germany assured the pres
ident of his profound friendship and
admiration for the United States and
disclaimed any idea or Intention of in
terfering at Manila.
1t is evident that the emperor has
seen a great light He is not going to
mix in the Spanish quarrel now that
the battle has been Won and the out

a DASHING HERO.

Colonel Roosevelt is probably the
If as a cowboy and western ranchman
he was unique and as a police commits
sioner of New York City conspicuous
for his novel methods, he is a dashing
picture as the commander Of the Rough
Riders, a body of men handy with
shooting irons and no fear of anybody
wearing boots. Roosevelt is rich, a dude
in society, diplomat among politicians
and an all-around square fellow in a
1t is said that he proposes to take his
entire command on transatlantic
pleasure trip after the war is over At
any rate his dash and spirit have made
him hero at home and they are talk
ing of running him for governor of his
state, New York. His gift of five dol
lars to each of the wounded Rough
Riders" in the hospital on Governors
Island is one of the beautiful incidents
Of the war. The men who were thus
assisted were doubtless without means
to obtain the little comforts that rem
dered the monotony and pain of the
sick bed less wearisome. 1t is no won
der that Colonel Roosevelt has such in
fiuence over his men. True, he can
probably afford to make the gifts. but
there are few leaders Influenced by the
strict discipline of military life who
would think of such a thing.

JESSIE SCHLEY

Miss Jessie Schley, who, as the rep
resentative of some local peace So
ciety, presented herself at Madrid,
! made a goose of herself. 1t was the
height of presumption to seek an inter
view with the queen. What could this
girl know of the complexity of political
affairs which have so steadily held
Spain on the course to her doom? No
body presumably in Spain or in the
world more regrets the war than the
queen regent, whose all is made to hang
tremblingly in the balance. Peace
from the first meant her crown, her
life, her all, and she has left nothing
undone within her grasp to accomplish
it. She has implOred her ministry night
nationality for the sake of peace. Only
the other day she broke down, sobbing
and in tears, before Sagasta's cabinet
If Miss Schley were anybody she would
be brought to account for her presump-
ton. But her action, springing from
ignorance and inexperience, will proba-
bly, be overlooked. She did not even
pretend TO represent an American
community. She undertook her mission
as a representative of the Paris branch
of the International Peace society.
There can be no doubt as to the
purity and nobility of Miss Schleys
motive in undertaking this mission.
But if she had been less enthusiastic
and more practical she would have I'M
derstood that her mission was fore
doomed to failure. There is no doubt of
the desire of the queen regent 10 end
the war if it could be ended on terms
that would not provoke a revolution in
Spain fatal to her dynasty, but Miss
Schley has no authority to offer her
such terms. Only President Mckinley
and his advisers can say what the
American terms OF peace will be, and
they certainly nave not divulged those
terms to Miss Jessie Schley.

THE STAR OF EMPIRE

Westward the star Of empire takes
its way" has been remarked for some
time past. but from the fact that the
star had found its last possible empire
and that its westward journey was
barred at the Golden Gate, the obser-
walton seemed a little off color. But
the original observation still holds
good. The Philippines may be in the
east, but they are west as 10 the course
Of the star. And 81 is Hawaii. now
lighted by that same star. Dewey is
watching the eastern horizon behind
Manila Tor the star that in going west
reaches the farther east.

and that he has no love for his coun-
try that can pass for patriotism. The
hour of SPANS trouble afforded him
opportunities for deeds of glory and pa
triotism, but he did little more than
intrigue and plot, not caring whether
Spain went down in revolution at home
or from defeat from abroad, only that
he was permitted to grasp the crown.
While the statesmen Of Spain were
striving to devise means for getting out
Of terrible dilemma, he was plotting
revolution. While the patriots Of
Spain, and that country has patriotic
sons, were offering their fortunes and
their lives for the defense Of their nat
i've land, he was plotting to stir UP in
ternecine war by which he might profit
and reach the throne.
Don Carlos will never be King Of
Spain. He is not the kind of plotter
and revolutionist that wins He is too
selfish, too proudly insensible to the
sufferngs of his country, too willing to
augment the woes of Span in order to
reap a temporary advantage for him
self Such a man, destitute of the
higher form of patriotism, wrapped in
schemes of selfishness, has within him
self the elements of disaster to the
cause he represents. He will never
win. He is too low, too mean to ever
a successful revolution against
the government of Spain.

Score One For GRAVEYARD.

One Of Mosbys men recently drove a
coach load from Camp Alger to the Blue
Ridge. In the party was an officer of
volunteers-an ex-Cnion soldier who had
campaigned in that part of Virginia dur
ing the civil war. 1t was a charming ride.
Finally the party reached a point in the
road where the ascent OF the mountains
begins. The officers face frightened up
as he viewed the scenes spread out before
them.
do you see that hill right over there,
dear?" he said TO his wife, pointing to
the place. She nodded.
'Well, my dear, right at the foot Of
that hill is the very place where we cook

Yes. my darling" said the old Mosby
graybeard, turning around, and that IS

down on us?"
Yes. sir: was one Of them. We eat
up there on the top of the hill and watch
ed you cooking that supper, and when
we thought you had il done about TO our

to do to Spain exactly what she threat
ened to do for US. And so Watson was
ordered to get ready, and the proposed
raid was officially proclaimed. The eff
feet upon Spain would have been more
emphatic than the sinking of her entire
navy, while Germany and France
would nave never lost sight of the fact
that any trouble with this country in
the future would mean the invasion of
their waters by an American fleet with
men behind the guns. Europe would
not have liked it, but there would have
been no way for Europe TO help itself.
The Oregon is equal to any battleship
in the world today, if, indeed, she has
an equal. The Oregon alone could en-
gage the whole Of the German navy or
half that Of France. There will be, in
the event Of speedy peace, two big re-
grets by the American people, one of
which is to be found in the failure Of
Watson to sail, and the other that no
serious attempt was made to reduce

A TERRIFIC GUN

There is no estimating where i'm
provements in guns and armor will
cease. Every war is followed by re-
newed efforts. Hardly has a superior
armor plate been invented than a new
rifle is placed on deck to meet the occa-
sion. British naval experts have pro-
duced a six-inch caliber quick-firing
rifle which can render service equal to
twice that Of the old six-inchers on the
Philadelphia and other ships. The new
gun is wire-wound and weighs only
seven tons, which is much less than the
weight of the old guns. Projectiles
were recently thrown with a velocity
of 2,7S0 feet a second, and with a strik-
ing energy of 5,374 foot tons, which is
2,O1S foot tons greater energy than that
produced by the common gun. A pro-
jectile can be fired about every eight
seconds and accuracy of fire is main
tanned even after 200 rounds have been
fired. The British navy will be well
equipped with these rifles.
