Capt. Gen. Blanco still entertains
deep feeling of resentment against the
United States. In an interview at Ha-
vana the other day he declared that his
greatest regret was that the peace pro-
tocol was signed before he had an op-
portunity to measure arms with the

our boys didn't get a chance to lambaste

M. CAMBON SAID GOODBYE.
French Ambassador Calls Upon Secre-
tary Day-French Governments
Courtesies.

Washington, D. c., September 49,
The French ambassador, NJ. Cambon,
is back from a three weeks outing at
Lake George, Lake Chaplain, and
through Canada. He spent consider
able time in the large cities of lower
Canada and was impressed with the
manner in which they retain their
French characteristics. The ambassa-
dor and NJ Thebaut called at the State
Department to-day and had a short
visit with Secretary Day. 1t was
mainly to say goodbye to the Score
tary prior to his departure for Paris,
and tc convey to him in behalf of the
French government assurances that
every courtesy and attention would be
given the American commissioners.
The French government has invited
the commissioners to meet in the ia
nous Salon das Ambassadors, which
is a part Of the foreign Office and is
one Of the most sumptuOus apartments
in Europe. The invite ion has been
accepted. 1t is understood the ambas-
sador's visit was not to present any
new phases OF the Spanish question,
which is nov committed to the several
commissions dealing with various
branches Of the peace settlement

Uncle Sam is not out of the woods
yet in connection with the Philippines,
nd it is doubtful if he will emerge
from tangled maze of difficulties,
Ipf1sent and Threatening, requiring him
to- 'keep large force on land and wa
ter there, until he abandons all claim
to anything on the islands but coa,ing
and supply station.
The Philippines are inseparably in
volved with the Eastern question and it
will be practically impossible for any
nation in control of them to keep from
mixing up in the affairs of the Eastern
powers, which it has been the time
honored policy of the United States to
avoid, the wisdom of which policy has
been proven in every step of our ma
tional life.
Moreover, the natives are VIGOROUSLY
treacherous. They will cheer the Stars
and Stripes in daylight and shoot at
them after SHUTDOWN. At last advices
although Aguinaldo had amicably
agreed to abandon the suburbs of Ma
Mia with 1900 of his army of insur
gents, the other native General, Pho
Pillar, a rival to Aguinaldo, had begun
to throw up earthworks and it was sta
ted the Americans would be attacked
about October 10.
AS stated in these columns the other
dav. the substance of the matter seems
to be this: The natives will f>+or the
United States just so long as they
think the United States will protect
them from the Spanish and guarantee
to them absolute independence, to be
maintained by force of American arms

Mark Hanna's superintendent of
mines, man of vast experience, proph-
estes the greatest coal mine strike in
the history of the country next spring
or earlier, because the mine owners
propose to further reduce the starva
ton wages of coal miners throughout
the country. And in this, strange to
say, the miners and labor in general
fail to see signs of prosperity. And
then those perverse people up in Yer
mont and Maine instead of testifying
their gratitude to the administration for
the prosperity showered upon them act
ually go to the polls and reduce the
Republican majority $1,000 in Vermont
and $4,000 in Maine, which is clearly
a case of rank ingratitude, as any ad-
ministration organ will tell you.

We can conceive no object Pecksniff
can have in thus butting his head
against stone wall unless he hopes
by persistent, bald and shameless
misrepresentation and abuse of the Reg
lister and the Democratic party to lead
honest Republicans off the scent of the
administration and Alger responsible
for criminal maltreatment and neglect
the wholesale official murder-of our
gallant troops in peace camps.
If that be Pecksniffs object he will
fail fer the non-partisan cry of the
press and the people of the entire
country that the guilty be punished no
matter how high in office they may be,
is growing louder and stronger every
day.

Dr. A. D. Vail of the Park Avenue Methodist church. for merly of Trinity M. F. church, New Haven, who died last week.
 The question of who is to occupy the vacant pulpit also was discussed. In this connection the name of the Rev. F. M. Davenport, formerly pastor of the First church. Yonkers, who is now taking a postgraduate course at Co., lumbia university, was mentioned prominently. It Is possible, however. that the pulpit will be supplied from now until the meeting of the confer ence next spring by various clergy men, who will give their services grat- uitously. In this event Mrs. Vail prob ably will continue to occupy the par sonage and will be paid the remainder of her husbands yearly salary.
