Another Amb essador Is Chosen.


Information received from Washing
ton, d. G.. states that Sir Julian Paunce-
fote expects, within the next few weeks,
to formally resign the diplomatic toga
which he has worn for several years past
with such acceptability both to the un!~
ted States and to Great Britain.
Occurring at this particular Crisis the
announcement of Sir Julian Pauncefote s
contemplated retirement from the ollcial
life Of the nations capital is well cal
Culated to excite wonder; but from pres
cnt indications the announcement is
without political significance, unless,
perhaps, it bears upon the matter Of
closer union between the EngliSh-speak-
ing powers If such is its meaning, sub
sequent developments Will soon dis
close it,
Sir Julian Pauncefote is to be succeed
ed by Sir Thomas H. SandersOn who IS
credited in the dispatches with being one
OF the most experienced officers N the
diplomatic service OF Great Britain. That
such must be the case is evident from
the appointment which he has filed sl!c-
cessfully for several years past as under
secretary Of state in charge Of foreign
matters. On account Of the DISTINGUISHED
prestige which Sir Thomas II. Sander
son will bring to his position il is not
unlikely that the rumor with respect to
the object of his being chosen to sue
coed Sir Julian PauncefOte may possess
some warrant.
Evidently there are interesting prob
lens in store for the experienced diplo-
mat, whatever may be Great Brit
aims object in naming him to succeed
her present able representative.

While the eyes Of both hemispheres

on the daring and successful exploit Of
our Asiastic squadron in Manila harbor,
we cannot occupy our time to better pur-
pose than by making some inquiry into
the history. resources and nature OF the
islands which have recently become the
center Of such Worldwide and dramatic
interest
At the risk of unnecessarily repeating
facts which have Appeared already in
these columns We desire TO acquaint our
readers thoroughly with the situation in
the Philippines, and to leave nothing
undisCussed which offers TO contribute
to their information in the least We OBJ
serve. first. that the Philippines com
prise some twelve hundred islands, lying
in Asiatic waters midway between the
island Of Formosa on be north and the
island of BOrncO on the south. Of course
most of these islands are comparatively
small and insignificant, but in the aggre-
gate they contain many thousand square
miles and according to recent computa-
tions. not less than 100000 inhabitants
The largest member of the group is the
island of Luzon. which is approximately
the size of cuba, although its population
is much more dense The capital Of
this island is Manila the Spanish strong

1t is understood that x.Chairman
Frederick f. Bach, who made such flat
failure in the work of steering the con-
-sressional nomination away from Hon.
John II. Hoffecker, has been entrusted
with the conduct of the senatorial cam
paign of Rev. Jonathan S. Willis, of
Kent county. That he has secured the
cooperation of the Milford Herald in his
enterprise must be exceedingly crafty
to his soul, which is aching to get even
with State Chairman Hugh G. Browne
and some other friends OF Colonel Henry
A. du Pont, who laid him out so adroitly
at the State Convention and at the or.
ganization of the Regular Republican
State Committee. Having broken away
from the ties which once bound him, and
being unable to stand alone, it is but
natural that Mr.. Bach should make
new ones; but the great difficulty under
which he now labOrs is that he has the
machine against him, whereas, in the
past, he always depended upon its
power to accomplish, under his direc-
tion, whatever political policies he might
have outlined. If Mr.. Bach can success
fully cope with the machine he will be,
indeed, shrewd politician, for but few
men have ever been able to do so unless
backed by very considerable following
which, at this stage, Bach has not at his
command. 1t may be his New Years
pledge to ring out the old and ring in
the new, but we fear that the bell-rope
has been pulled up beyond his reach,
and that the ladder leading to the belfry
has been torn down.
II Mr.. Bach had in view any such gi-
gantic tasks as that which he now has
on hand, he made a serious mistake
when he got out OF touch with the ma.
chine. Without machine Bach is net
