It was Long Step Toward Peace and in the Meantime the Madrid Govern ment is Standing Still Waiting
 for the Approval of
 the People.

New York, July 22.-The peace phase of the war may easily prove to be much nearer than is now generally supposed. The surrender of the Spanish army at Santiago and it's transportation home by American vessels is most significant event. It is humiliation to Spain which tells more plainly than words can tell the weakness of her hold on Cuba and her desp pair of military success. She con sents to the withdrawal of the San tiago soldiers which she had counted upon for the defense of the island and the final struggle at Havana. She enables us to utilize all her armaments at Santiago and saves us from the loss of men and arms which might have resulted from our having to take that position by force. She at the same time finally weakens herself and saves and strengthens our fighting resources. She does this in spite of the protests of General Blanco and of her troops, and notwithstanding the danger of raising serious political troubles in Spain.
 A surrender under such conditions admits of but one possible construc- tion. It means that official Spain which knows the actual condition and numbers of the army, has no hope whatever of succeeding in this strug- gle, and, after an imposing show Of national pride, is at last yielding to a humane consideration for her un- doubtedly brave soldiers.
 This cannot be regarded as anything less than a first and also a long ster towards peace. As between the Span ish government and the Spanish peo- pie it is bold experiment. A few hours will show how this step is re- ceived by the dissenting politicians and the people of spain. If the govern ment is sustained by popular approval, this first step may be soon followed by further advances towards the pacific issue which this surrender so plainly foreshadows
 If the Spanish administration is oyerthrown and war government succeeds it, then revolutionary con- fusion may result which will make Spain's case more hopeless than ever,

though it might momentarily post pone the possibility of ending the war. In any case, the surrender at Santiago means large progress towards peace: though is possible that political con fusion or the infatuatiOn of military leaders may involve a'clinging to- AHa- vana until the season admits of our troops besieging that last stronghold.
 It is to be hoped that Spain is under no illusions to the terms of peace she must finally accept at our hands. The United States must absolutely occupy Cuba and hold it under military rule until the people are prepared for a self government that will be satisfac- tory to this country.
 The island of Porto Rico must be- come absolutely and unqualifiedly the property of this government.
 The Philippine islands must be taken possession of and held under military rule as security for an indemnity, the amount of which should equal the cost of the war. This will make a dispo- sition of the Philippine islands that
 exception cannot be taken to by any
 of the European nations. and will do
 away with any possibility of foreign applications growing out of our con- trol of that territory. ls If the foreign nations object to our holding the islands in perpetuity, all they can do is to render monetary aid
 to Spain so that the indemnity can be
 paid off, when the islands held as collateral will he returned. This country had better have the indemnity
 money in the treasury than to hold the collateral security indefhitely. It
 will stand simply as forced loan of such character as all business peo- pie understand and will have to run until liquidated by the security being redeemed by the debtor or sold out at our option when it becomes marketable to pay off the debt.
 This, in general terms. and nothing short of this, is what Spain must face and accept when the final negotiations are reached The terms nay evoke fresh outburst of Spanish pride and cause some temporary refusal to sub nit; but no other conditions will sat- isfy the American people.

FROLIC AND FINANCE.
When SpecuIafors and Investors
 Play Finance Takes Vacation.

New York, July 22.-This is one of the months of recreation; and although comparatively few are indulging 1n European travel, the summer hotels are full of visitors, including an un-
 usual representation of the financial class. The operators in stocks appear to have reached the conclusion that, after such an excited market as we have had during recent months, re- action of quiet was to be expected.
 They have reasoned that the army campaign is not likely to reach any additional victories during the hot months, but may be reasonably expect ed to eliminate in an early peace. Thus the expectation has become gen
 eral that, as the military campaign and the Wall street movement run on parallel lines, we may not expect any buoyant activity in either for the next few weeks.
 It is mainly for these reasons that the large July interest and dividend disbursements have had no marked effect upon the market. This source of reinvestment might have been made the occasion for rise in prices had 8 few strong operators chosen to turn IL u dcCOuuI, Dul IudI CldSS OI Sp0Culd- tors seem to be still out of the market and hoping for a lower range of prices. Nevertheless, there has been, during the week, an important investment de- mand from this source, which has fall en mainly upcz tie gilt edge Givide- paying stocks and railroad bonds I1 the latter, the transactions have been ! conspicuously large, with .ne result of a general advance in prices.
 In anticipation of the government loan, holders Of railroad bonds sold cut freely, with the intention of rein vesting in the new bonds; and now that they see the government issues di vided between the poru,ar subscrip- tions and the financial institutions, they have had to repurchase the class
 of securities with which they had parted. This has some significance for the future of stocks; for a rise in cor poraee bonds is always conducive to [ higher prices in the share market. ! While the stock market is compara- lively stagnant and speculation is life

Up to o'clock this afternoon there had not been any meeting between Senor Castillo and General Porter, although it is said positively that such a meeting may develop from the situation. Any ne gotiations, however, will be kept ab- solutely secret until they have reached a stage when they will assume off cial character.

KLONDYKE SUFFERING.
Uneasiness About the Food Supply
 Next Winter

Seattle, Wash, July 22-The pros pect of food shortage in the klon- dyke next winter is being seriously discussed. Statistical Expert Samuel Durham of the United States labor department, who has just returned from Alaska, thinks the government will have to furnish transportation out of Alaska to indigent prospectors. Mr. Durham said: Although Alaska is a very rich country, I don't think there is gold for everybody. The govern ment may not be obliged to send in provisions, but it will certainly be required to furnish transportation. The British government is now en- gagged in sending all stranded Ameri- cans at Dawson through to Fort Yu kon and Circle City. These are points on American territory and the unfor- tunates will therefore be cared for by our government, or at least I think they will"

THE MOVEMENT FROM FRISCO.

San Francisco, July 22.-At army headquarters today it was stated that the transports Scandia and Arizona will get away within the next ten days, and every effort will be made to start them of together. With the de- parture of these two vessels 19,C00 troops will have left San Francisco for Manila and several thousand will still be here. Just what disposition will be made of the latter is not yet known, although it is firmly believed they will eventually follow the other troops to t0e Philippines and possibly more will come from the east if threatened trouble with the insurgents grows serious.

Pana, H., July 22.-Several non- union miners were severely beaten to- day while en route to the shafts to resume work.

Educated Pnupers.

An indication of the progress of
classical learning among the masses
was afforded few days since when
an inmate of an east end workhouse
called upon a bookseller to ask
whether he had any knowledge of
mythology. In answer to a question
as to why such an inquiry should be
made the pauper said: We'll, our
chaplain last Sunday spoke of the
mother of Achilles dipping him in
the river Lethe. Now, if my men,
ory does not fai4 me, the chaplain
was wrong, for it was not the Lethe,
but the Styx, into which Achilles
was dipped, making all but the heel
of him invulnerable." The book
seller assured the pauper that be
was right and his spiritual instructor
wrong, and the former left the shop
highly delighted.-London News.

Down in Clarion county, Pa, there
used to live a man named Major
Green, who had a half brother
named John Green. Each spent the
greater part of his life in thinking
up Jokes to play of ON the other,
and when John Green died the score
was thought to be about even.
A plain stone was erected over
Johns grave by his family, and on
it beneath his name and the dates OF
his birth and death was carved this
simple inscription:
He lived blameless life"
But after il had remained that
way for a week or two somebody
added, Until the year before be

knew them that he had the last
laugh on John when they met on
the other side.-Cleveland Leader.

There is a tremendous lesson in
that; 1t means that each one of us
can lind out as much about any,
thing we wish to be informed upon
as any other human being in the
world if we will only determine to
do so. We can achieve and conquer
anything another can if we make up
our minds to the performance of it
