WASHINGTON. D. c., August a.
Conditions about the great state, war
and navy building practically nave as
sumed their normal aspect Only few
clerks were on duty in the principal bu-
reaus to-day, and they did only a few
hours work.
According to Acting Secretary of the
Navy Allen, this has been the quIetest
day in his department since the de-
struction of the Maine. Not word
was received during the day from Ad-
miral Dewey. notwithstanding the ca
bic communication with Manila had
again been opened.
Among the war officials the terms OF
the capltuIntEou Of Manila as cabled by
General Merritt was a topic Of discus
sion. No light has been throuwn upon
the terms by General Merritt He ca
bled the terms themselves, expecting
probably to forward by mail the con-
s,ructIon placed upon them by the
American and Spanish officers at Ma
Mia.
Unofficial advlces from Manila re-
ceIved previous to the arrival Of the text
Of the terms indicated that the capItu-
laton of the city included the surrender
OF the Philippines. and that spnin's SOW
ereignty over the entire archipelago
was temporarily, at least, at an end
This view is not sustained by the con-
dI,lons Of the surrender, as cabled by
General Merritt. and 1t may be said 1t
is no, the view taken by the best In
formed officials of the administration.
II can be said authoritatively that the
President is quite satisfied with the
terms as made by General Merritt and
Admiral Dewey. Their instructions af-
toraed them considerable latitude for In
divilualIty of action, the President feel
InS confident that they would secure
the best possible terms under the cir
cams,ances. That they have done so
he Is certain. 1t Is pointed out that
the terms Of the capitulation OIL ManiIh
can have but little effect upon the ac-
ton Of the Paris peace commission In
any event. The protocol signed by the
accredited representatives of the gov
crnments of the United States and
Spain provides for the cessIon Of the
city, bay and harbor OF Manila to the
United States. and leaves to the peace
commission to determine the DISPOSE
ton and government OF the Philippine
Islands. Whether. therefore, Spain is
to retain her sovereignty over the
islands is a question to be decided by
the Paris commission.
Rear Admiral Sampson ana Rear Ad-
miral schley are expected to arrive In
Washington some time tomorrow.
The appointment OF the two admIrals
respectively on the Cuban and Porto
Rican commissions necessarily will
cause them to be detached temporarily
from their present commands. The de-
tachment It Is said by the naval author
tiles, will only be temporary.

even with all the cutoffs below

country might be reclaimed on the
Arkansas side from Osceola up,

A most interesting result Of the
enfranchisement of woman in Idaho
was observed during the session
of the Legislature last winter.
There has been law legalizing
gambling. Up to the time of the
adoption of equal suffrage, it
would have been impracticable to
repeal it; but when a bill was in
troduced last winter for that pur-
pose, it went through with a large
majority. The majority for it
was universally credited to the
fact Of the addition of the woman
element to the electorate. | can
add only that, with the limited ex
perience that Idaho has had with
the new order of things, it is well
pleased with the change.

Taking An Ell.

While the que ton of eliminat-
ing the negro from the electorate
has SO far monopolized The atten-
tion OF the convention, that of
preventing the African from hold
ing any Office of honor or trust has
not been overlooked. Last We'd
nesday Mr.. Browning introduced
an ordinance providing that "no
negro, mulatto or quadroon shall
ever hold any Office, State, parish
or municipal, giving him any
power or authority over white
men" Saturday DR.. Tebault in
troduced a resolution calling on
the judiciary committee to report
to the convention today whether
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Federal Con-
stitution confers the privilege of
holding office The judiciary COM
mittee will, IN all probability, re-
port that these amendments do not
confer the privilege of hold Office.
At least it is the opinion of emil
nent lawyers that there is nothing
in the Federal Constitution or the
amendment thereto that prevents
a State from denying the privilege
Of holding office to the negroesif it
so elects. What the convention
may or may not do in this con-
nection is, of course, only mat
ier of conjecture, but there seems
40 doubt that some of the mem
oers will make fight to at least
out the African in an attitude
where he will at no time be in u
position to cause trouble as an
,fficeholder, whatever he may do
is a voter. This would be novel
md perhaps unprecedented step,
,ut the convention will hardly
lesitate on that account, as the

ers pertaining to the suffrage
