OFF FOR THE PHILIPPINES.

On the 26th of May Major General Mer-
rift arrived in San Francisco and took
charge of the various expeditions to Manila.
of which he had been placed in command
The intervening time has been spent in
equippng troops, obtaining transports and
fitting out the expeditions. 1t has been a
great undertaking. and from all accounts
has been we'll managed. General Merritt
deferred his departure till the last expedition
which sailed on Wednesday-and on his ar
rival at Manila will be in command of 1s,0O
to % coo troops. What his orders or instruc-
lions may be nobody knows. unless he has
communicated them confidentially to some
member of his staff. No doubt they are
broader than any ever given before TO an
American officer. and probably leave much
TO his discretion. He and Admiral Dewey
Will, of course. act together to common
end, but just what that will be remains to
be seen. At the time Of General Merritt S
appointment it was said he would be clothed
with authority as Governor General of the
Philippines. If his appointment confers any
special title 1t is more likely to be Military
Governor. but no matter what his title may
be he win necessarily have large powers.

R0UT OF THE TERROR.
How the st. Paul Rendered a Spanish
Destroyer Hors de Combat,

PLAYA DEL ESTE. Guantanamo Bay.
June 49,, delayed in transmission News
was received here yesterday of the attack
made on the American auxiliary cruiser St
Paul off San Juan de Porto Rico. on June
~, by the Spanish torpedo boat DESTROYER
Terror. Under cover of Spanish cruiser
of the Infanta Isabel type the Terror at
tempted to approach the st. Paul and sink
her with a torpedo. A hot fire from the
rapid fire guns of the st. Paul was opened
on the Spaniard, with the result that an en-
gineer and two men on board the Terror
were killed and several others were
wounded The Terror was so badly dam
aged that she was towed back into the har-
Dor in a sinking condition.
A party of sixty-four Cubans, under Cen
eral Perez. who are taking part in the siege
of Guantanamo, have been fed, clothed and
armed by Captain DIcCalla, of the United
States cruiser Marblehead. They returned
to the front to-day.
The Marblehead to-day landed 5000 ra-
tions from the State Of Texas for few Gu
ban families, forty miles in the interior, in
the vicinity of General Perez's troops.

SURPRISE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
DEMOCRACY.

Tho rejection of the Chicago platform and
Colonel Bryan by the Pennsylvania Demo-
cratic convention, Wednesday, by the en-
phatic vote of 23S to 1874, is most significant
as showing the silent change of sentiment
that is going on in the Democratic party.
1t was a surprise that the state committee
rejected Bryan and his platform by vote
Of 20 to q. Then the slverites charged that
the gold bugs had packed the committee
against them and they appealed to the con-
vention. 1t is said the convention itself was
not aware that a majority of its members
was opposed to the Chicago platform and
Colonel Bryan a leader. The vote shows
that a majority of a. in total of 1922 was
against the main issue of the party in 1896.
A report of the convention says the anti
silver delegates cheered ten minutes after
the unexpected result was announced
To those who have noticed the drift of ex-
preston, showing the rapidly declining in
terest in the independent coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l. the result in the DEM
ocratic convention in Pennsylvania is not a
surprise. Last fall, and as late as January,
there was considerable public interest in
slverism. The noisy silver advocates of 1896
were talking in offices and once in a while
on the street. But the interest gradually de-
clined with discussion of the Cuban ques-
ton until no more was heard of it than of
the tariff. Even Colonel Bryan discovered
weeks ago that the people are no longer in
terested in free-silver coinage.
Nor will it avail for the silverites to ex-
plain that the Democrats desire to make
the campaign on state issues caused the 16-
toll issue to be voted down. If the Demo-
Gratis can get more votes in Penn
sylvania without the Chicago plat
form than with it, then its in
dorsement is a party weakness in that
State. There are thousands of Democrats
in Indiana who believe that the party would
be stronger here if Is to had been rejected
by the state convention. Something may
happen to change public sentiment on this
subject, but If II does not the next national
Democratic convention will relegate 1e to l
to the rear.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF VICTORY

An esteemed correspondent expresses as
constituent because the Journal has COM
inended the leading features of the views
v hich Mr. Maurice Thompson has expressed
regarding the disposition of the territory of
Spain which is likely to fall into our hands
as result of the war. If he had presented
some solution of the problem while critics.
ing the views of others there would have
been basis for his criticism. To object to
a policy will suffice when it is not necessary
to take any action, but here is case in
which something must be done. When Con-
gress declared that the United States would
exercise authority in Cuba until a stable
government shall be established by the peo-
pie of that island, responsibility was as
sumed. TO have recognized the alleged Re-
public of Cuba with the pledge of quitting
the island as soon as the Spanish should be
expelled would not have given promise of
bet, conditions than existed under the
misrl!ie of Spain. Such policy would have
turned Cuba over to revolution. Having in
terfered to rid Cuba of Spanish misrule and
outrage the United States is in duty bound
to see that better government shall be es-
tablished. 1t may take years to do this, and
years may develop the fact that a stable,
Independent government is not possible. At
best people which has no knowledge of
self-government, and a race or mixture of
races which has shown no capacity for such
government, for which the United States
has very properly made itself responsible,
cannot be left without stable government
of f6a ic fair
sounding phrase but in practice it has it's
limitations. If that theory had been regard
ed when the South seeded secession could
not have been resisted since the majority
OF the people in the South favored disunion
If that theory should be observed a State
or a few counties could withdraw from the
Union, or a State whenever the majority re-
siding therein should declare that the gov
eminent under which they were living did
not have their consent. Popular govern
ment presupposes intelligence on the part of
those who participate in it, The ignorant
are incapable of such government; conse-
quently, until a people has acquired intelli-
gence anything like stable popular govern
ment becomes impossible. Therefore, when
we speak of the consent of the governed we
should apply the phrase to an intelligent
community.
The Philippines have fallen into our
hands. Having taken them we cannot drop
them until the conditions of the people are
better than they were under Spain The
United States cannot abandon them to fall
into the hands of some other government.
The question regarding both Cuba and the
Philippines is. What disposition shall be
made of them?' Those who object to an
Eexation or other control are bound to
present some other plan. Thus far they
have failed to do this.

PLUCKY YANKEE CAPTAIN.
Refused to Deliver His Cargo of Coal
to a Spanish Steamer.

WASHINGTON, June 9O.-A second case
Of an attempt to transfer coal from an
American vessel to a Spanish merchantmen
in Mexico has brought out the old-time
pluck of an American sea captain. The 600
ton American schooner Clara A. Phinney.
OF New Bedford. some days ago was au-
thorized to clear with 700 tons of coal from
Noble to Vera Cruz, on affidavits of reliable
citizens OF Mobile that the coal was destined
for railroad purposes. On reaching Vera
Cruz Captain Phinney was directed by L.
Jonblanc' his consignee. to place his vessel
alongside the Spanish steamer Maria Her
rera. In the presence of group of.excited
Spanish sympathizers Captain Phinney
Diuntly refused, declaring with emphasis
tnat no vessel in his charge should ever lie
alongside "a ship bearing the flag OF his
couhtLygS enemy, much less supply ner with
even 2 pound of coal. The captain, with
crown at ms heels, marched 10 the Amer
lcan consulate and notified the consui, ana

secretary, that he had placed himself under
AIeTieah protection. Exports or coal 70

THE BICYCLE HEART"
ScOrchers Who Have 1t Are Barred
from EnIisting in the Army.

CHICAGO, June 30.-Dr. s. c. Stanton.
who has charge Of the examination Of re-
cruits for the United States regular army
in this city, has caused a sensation among
medical men by declaring that an habitual
fast rider Of bicycles, or ''scorcher." is
unfit, physically. to serve as a soldier in the
army. He made this matter the subject OF
his severest tests in his examinations of APP
plicants for enlistment and many men have
been rejected because of bicycle heart"
as the practitioner terms it, caused by ex-
cessive exercise in riding wheel The doc
tor says: The persistent scorching. or fast
riding has tendency to enlarge the heart
and thus interfere with its proper action.
Few enthusiastic bicyclists can resist the
temptation to 'scorch, and as a conse-
qdence, the physician believes that the
hearts Of a large proportion of this class or
riders are more or less affected. This be-
ing the case they would be unable 10 en-
dure the hardships that army lie possesses
and should not be permitted 70 enter the
service The excitement attendant on war
is also, exceedingly deleterious to those
whose hearts are in any degree affected

Many Persons Seeking Appointments
More Volunteers Needed.


More Volunteers Needed.
WASHINGTON June 3O-When President
Mckinley reached his office to-day he found
a large crowd of senator's and members
most of them seeking appointments to war
billets for friends and constituents. Senator
Deboe presented DR.. w. G. Bowman, of
Louisville. KY, to the President and urged
him for an inspector generalship in the
army. The appointment of the members of
the nonpartsan commission just created
by Congress to investigate labor and indus
trial conditions is now pending. The first
OF the candidates to be presented is Henry
B. Martin. of Minnesota, we'll known among
the knights of Labor, for whom Represen-
tative Bell. of Colorado, spoke a good word
TO the President to-day. There was no prom
lse given of favorable consideration. All
these appointments, from the Importance of
the work of the commission, will require
ability

the nist callers to see the President said

also came TO see the President, but owing

MISSION, however. was mostly on state mill

out, however that the war is assuming far
larger proportions than had been expected,
and that undoubtedly sooner or later a large
number of troops would be required
