WHERE THE SHIPS MAY GO.
Sampson To Command the Atlantic Sta
ton.

Washington, August 2o-The Navy De-
partment has taken under consideration
the Reorganization Of the North Atlantic
fleet, which now includes five flag
officers, in addition to providing duty for
the commanders of large number of YES
sells which will be placed out of COM
mission in the next two or three weeks.
When the force is reduced, at least three
of the flag officers on the homo station
will be rendered superfuous, and are to
be ordered to other assignments. When
Admirals Sampson and Schley come to
Washington next week. preparatory to 60
ing to Cuba and Porto Rico as members
of the military commissions, they will be
consulted regarding the proposed changes,
and in all probability arrangements Salts
factory to them will result.
1t is considered likely that the North
Atlantic Station will be divided, and one
flag officer, probably Admiral Sampson,
retained in command Of the home fleet,
while Admiral Schley or Admiral Howell
will be placed in charge of newly Or
ganized squadron of the West Indies
limited by the Gulf of Mexico and the
Caribbean Sea.
1t is the impression among naval
officers that Admiral Sohley will seize the
opportunity to secure command OF the
Pacific Station on the retirement OF Adj
miral Miller on November 90, and will be
content to wsis ashore the few weeks be-
tween the termination of his services on
the Porto Rican Commission and Ad-
miral Miller's retirement, which would
epable him to have an independent COM
man d, perhaps more important than that
of the West Indies, as it includes the
whole Pacific Ocean, from Alaska to Cape
Horn, AS we'll as Hawaii and Samoa.
Commodore Remey, commanding the
naval base at Key West, is expected to
succeed Admiral Matthews as president
of the Examining and Retiring board,
who retires October Gath.
The Department has made no move up
to this time toward the re-esta Enlistment
of the e European or Southern Atlantic
stations, and it Is improbable that any
ships will be sent to the latter locality be-
fore next year. However, if no compiled.
lions raised during the sessions OF the
Peace Commissioners at Paris, and they

upon the terms of convention, Com
modore Watson is expected to take a fine
fleet to Europe, and, after visits OF
courtesy to England and France, may
spend the winter in the Mediterranean.

gssThe administration is reported by the
Washington dispatches to believe that it
would be bad policy to keep more of the
Philippines than Manila; but is waiting
to hear what the estiment of the country
is On the other and the country will
be guided much by the sentiment Of the
President and his advisers, since they are
in betterssposition than the people to
form correct opinion. This is one of the
times when the men at the head of the
column can be expected to understand
what is ahead better than can the boys

The naval parade at New York on
Saturday will undoubtedly go down to
history as one of the great pageants of
the nation. Whatever the verdict of
history shall be on the war which we have
just come through, the achievements of
the navy have been of unquestioned
brilliancy. The event of Saturday would
have gained greatly in historic interest
could the ships of Dewey's fleet have
Joined those of Sampson and Schley.
The battle of Manila has an individuality
and interest surprising anything done on
the coast of Cuba, although the smashing
of Cervera's squadron may have been q
greater trial of naval efficiency than wa;
the contest in the Philippines.

The outbreak of murder, incendiarism
and robbery which has occurred in Porto
Rico since the Spanish authority there
has been crushed is a foretaste of the re.
sponsibilities which devolve upon us with
the possession of the colonies of Spain.
We have crushed the only authority which
those peoples have known for hundreds OF
years; and the result is something like
opening Pandoras box of mischief. If
the Spanish authority had been enlight-
ened and humane, the change would
probably go on quietly and without great
friction. We imagine-were such thing
imaginable-that had we driven England
from Canada or even from Jamaica, the
peoples of those regions would be ready at
once to go on with their affairs in an
orderly way under the new conditions.
They have been brought up under good
government and know what it means for
the citizens and what it requires of him.
But in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines men have been governed corruptly
and tyrannically SO long that they are in
harmony with their institutions. That is
the full flower Of tyranny. that it makes
its victims as unlovely as itself. 10 the
Porto Ricans liberation means apparently
the license to turn around and do to the
Spaniard what the Spauiard has been do
ing to them. This should not cause us to
lose patience with our new wards. They
are merely showing the sickly human
nature that has always cropped out when
tyranny has been overturned, just as we
find bleached grasses and sluggish worms
when q board that has lain long on a
lawn is removed. 1t is even said that the
New England Puritans, whom we all adj
mire and revere after they had escaped
from the Stuart tyranny, were not entire
ly cordial to the Quakers and Baptists
who came among them. In the ages of
arbitrary and oppressive power the men
who have been able to understand the
principles Of tolerance and forgiveness in
matters of State and Church have been
SO rare that today they are solitary monu-
ments of history, like William the Silent
who founded Holland and Henry ",
who recreated France out of the anarchy
of religious wars. During the present war
this nation has been furnishing to the
world a spectacle of the value of tolerance
and forgiveness in affairs political, which
has perhaps not been understood in it's
full Significance Who would have said,
thirty years ago, that one day Joseph
Wheeler and Fitz Hugh Lee would ride at
the head of United States soldiers beside
veteran officers of the Union side? The
statesmen of Europe, who were pro-
scribing Carl Schurz and Kossuth would
have said that such a possibility was
childish. Yet that very thing has hap
pened, and because it has happened the
national strength has boon augmented
more than three fold. Whether men of
Spauish blood can understand the lesson
of this spectacle is to be doubted. They
still hold that the only way to get rid Of
an opponent is to remove him, and now
that the Spaniards' rule has been removed
their doctrine is bringing its logical re-
suits. Our responsibility is to prevent
those results If possible, and it is to be
feared that it is heavier than we have ever
imagined.

Samuel Gompers, the chief of the
American Federation Of Labor, evidently
understands the interests of the class he
represents. At the national conference at
Saratoga on Saturday, he declared:
"The nation which dominates the mar
kets of the world will surely control It's
destinies. To make of the United States
the workshop of the world is our manifest
destiny and our duty, and thus, side by
side with other nations in industrial ana
commercial rivalry-we basing the con-
sideration of the workers upon the high
est intelligence and the most exalted
standard of life-no obstacle can be placed
in our way to the attainment of the
highest pinnacle Of national glory and
human progress. But to attain this end
is the requirement of the Philippine
islands, wit their somi-savage popula-
ton, necessary? Surely not. Neither its
gates nor those OF any other OF the globe
can long be closed against our constantly
growing industrial supremacy"
Mr.. Gompers knows that there is nc
chance for free and independent laborers
in the torrid cline and beside the yellow
men of the Philippines. The laboring
men Of America have resented the
presence of the few Chinese that have
come to our own shores; and they won It
be likely to go to land where the yellow
men are as thick as flies. Instead of
Iaborers we shall send capital there; and
that will not be for the advantage of our
workingmen. The labor agitators declaim
muuh against capital; but they know that
without it the laborer has no chance.
Capital builds mills, railroads, ships,
houses; and without it you do not get the
mills railroads, ships and houses Our
own country is not half developed. and
needs more capital than it can command.
If dollar goes to the Philippines or
Cuba it does not stay at home. If it
builds an electric or steam railroad on the
island of I.uzon it does not build one in
Maine or Texas. 1t is manifestly for the
advantage of the American laborers that
our dollars shall stay at home, where our
workingmen have to stay.

coming into office, estranged those ele-

have supported him. Mr.. Roosevelt has
more of the qualities which inspire en-

Whether or not his discretion is in equal

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 26.-The case
of Jesse James. son of the noted outlaw,
charged with completely in the Missouri Pa
cihc train robbery at Leeds on Sept. %
last, was called in the Criminal Court here
to-day. Young James, FINS G. Carr and
r. L. Yeager. his attorneys, swore Judge
