light as he can, for his own purposes,
on the army scandals. 1t is no longer
of any Importance whether the men Sc
Ieeted to make the investigation have
the confidence of the people or not, so
long as the President is satisfied with
them. Only the people must not be
asked to accept the conclusions Of this
commissioner one can be formed
as to the needless sufferings and deaths
among our soldiers. On this condition
there is no criticism of the President
for keeping secret the names of those
he is TO ask hereafter to serve. 1t will
be proper. and indeed necessary, to
keep secret the results of their labors,
also. There was a popular misunder-
standing when il was announced that
the President would respond to the re-
quest of Secretary Alger by appointing
an investigating board. 1t was assumed
that this would be done in the interests
of justice and to remove the cause of
shame that overwhelms the nation.
Since ii is nothing more than private
matter between the President and his
Secretary of War the hope of the peo-
pie is dissipated and with it their con-
cern about the inquiry.
A proper investigating body. of
course, must have some Of the most
vital powers of court-a fund to cover
its expenses, including the transporta-
tion and pay of witnesses, the most
important of whom have been sent to
their homes; the authority to compel
81 haf, or fn
oaths, and the like. Above everything,
il must be body that is familiar with
the work which il is charged was neg
lected or badly done, or has power to
obtain information from experts. 1t
was for this reason that the public
expected active army officers, such as
those who opposed the Horrible condi-
tions al Camp Thomas, to be appointed
to make inquiry. 1t is not surprising
that most of the persons selected by
the President have declined TO serve.
AS il is. a strictly personal matter,
there is no call on their patriotism.
Besides, they are we'll aware OF their
own limitations They know they have
not the practical acquaintance with
army matters TO make their work of
any value.
The people are the less disappointed
in this affair because they have them
selves been carrying on an investiga-
ton Every returned soldier has been
questioned for details and there is no
doubt about the facts. The people
know that appalling incompetency and
/ cruel neglect characterized the conduct
| Of the war. From strong personal
admiration of the President they had
hoped the Administration would purge
itself of all blame by repudiating those
who were directly at fault, but if he
prefers not to do il, that is his affair.
Their right TO make distinct demand
is in the care OF Congress. Here no re-
fusal will be tolerated and no failure
to locate the responsibility and admin
ister the penalty. No time is too long
for the people TO remember. No par
tisan appeals can move them. There is
no escape for the guilty.

The Turk is in for no end of trouble
as a result of the atrocities in Crete, I'M
less England once more allows her con-
Germ for the peace of Europe to be para
mount to her regard for the lives of her
own subjects. Yet SO often has the Sui
tan escaped without a practical conces-
sion to the demands of humanity, that he
is even willing to add America to his list
of enemies. At a critical time Turkey
has repudiated the responsibility for
American losses in the Armenian trage-
dies, evidently relying on the eagerness
of the powers to maintain the concert of
Europe to shield him from serious con-
sequences. This is a case where he may
be deceived. 1t happens that America
cares a good deal less for the desires OF
the powers of Europe than for indemni-
ty for the loss of American lives and
property. OF course in the last extremity
Turkey will pay up, but It may be nee
essary to send some of our warships to
the Bosphorus.

IL HUNG CHANG.
A Sketch of the Man Who Has Lost
His Jacket.
(From the Atlanta Journal.)

(From the Atlanta Journal)
Lii Hung Chang came of worthy but not
distinguished parentage. His father pass
ed successfully the examinations, bu, held
no official position. He gave lis son moth
ing but the chance to pursue his studies
and lit himself for the examinations. Ii
Hung Chang successfully passed all
grades, and i'll the final contest at Pekin
distanced 10000 competitors. carrying or
the highest honors. Later he went to the
Honlin College, which corresponds some
what to the French Academy.
Judged by the Western standards Chi
nese scholars hold a very low grade. They
have no conception of learning under
stood in the West. They know nothing Of
mathematics, chemistry. geology and
have an imperfect knowledge of geOgra-
ply Their curriculum embraces Chinese
classics and philosophy, a voluminous
compilation especially holding in emf
nence the teachings of Confuctus. This
standard, fixed 900 years ago. has
changed little. A distinguished Chinese
diplomatist had never heard of Homer,
Virgil or Shakespeare.
Lii Hung Chang saw the defects of Chi
nese education. He established the Pek-
in College. with a full faculty of for
eign professors. to instruct Chinese youth
in European languages and train them
for diplomatic service. He also establish
ed a miiitary-naval medical school at

Flower Islands.
(Ernrn the Ynrth,s Cnmnnn:nr

(From the Youths Compan!ou.)
The Scliy Islands may very Justly be termed
flower islands, for large part of their surface
is given up to the cultivation OF flowers. and the
great majority of the people spend their lives
in attending to the plants, from which all the
wealth of the island is drawn
The inhabitants have had other occupations
At one time they wreckers,, and at later
period they went into a more legitimate bust
ness and devoted themselves to the raising OF
early potatoes. There was money to be made
out of them. and the Islands prospered until
prosperity bore its usual fruit in the shape of
growing potatoes, and the potato trade OF the
Scilly Islands was killed. Thereupon the ISL
anders betook themselves TO flower growing, Civ
ing the greater part of their attention to the
narcissi.
In St Mary's alone nearly a quarter Of the
cultivated of the island is devoted to flow
crs. In the month Of February last year 322
tons OF howe.s were exported from this one
island About 2G0 boxes go to the ton, and as
each boyS contains from three to twelve spikes
OF flowers, il is easy to see that the number of
flowers sent out from the island not trihing.
The inhabitants of these islands are wise
people. They do not believe in wasting time.
As soon as the forcing of the narcissi is over
the houses are filed with tomato plants, ard
for months there is a continuous supply Of this

There is not the least hope that the
Cars beautiful vision of a disarmed
Europe will ever be realized. 1t is even
doubtful If the proposed conference
will ever be held, or If it is, there
will be more than one amiable reso-
luton and All adjournment to an
unfixed date. Since the subject has
been raised, 1t is learned that England
would never consent to reduce her proud
navy by single ship and France would
never consent TO the disruption of her
army without the restoration of her lost
provinces.

THE REMOVAL OF ASHES.
Estimated Cost Is Forty Thousand
DaIIars Annually.

Warner Stutler, the superintendent OF
street and alley cleaning, today submitted
to the District Commissioners report on
the advisability of removing ashes at pub
lie expense and of the probable cost of the
work.
In his last annual report Mr.. Stutier
recommended that action be taken by the
Commissioners along these lines, and re-
Gently the superintendent was detailed to
visit other cities to study their methods
for the removal of ashes.
In his report, the superintendent esti-
mates that the work will require thirty
horses and carts with drivers from May
/. until October 81, and fifty horses and
carts with drivers from November l until
April 80 of each year, at an annual COST
of $50, 800. Four inspectors will be requirt
ed at salary of 100 each. and also b
clerk at the same salary. Mr.. Stutlfr
makes an estimate of S1.200 for miscel}a-
neous expenses. The total estimate for
the work each year is $4,000.

STORIES OF SUFFERING.
Many District Volunteers and Their
Dependents Arc in Need.


Several pathetic scenes were witnessed
today at the room occupied by the COM
mfttee to secure employment for the re-
turned District Volunteers.
This room is No. 81, in the Atlantic
building, and Hon. Simon. Wolf, chair
man of the committee was in personal
charge during the greater part of the
day.
II had a crying spell just now" said
the tender-hearted chairman to Times
reporter. Il really could not help it," A
young woman, emaciated and weak from
privation, whose father was a member
OF the District regiment, but who died
at Chickamauga, came seeking employ
ment.
She told a sad. pitiful story, and said
she was the only support of Il widowed
mother. Her trade was that of candy
maker, she said, and 1 referred her to a
certain manufacturer of that article.
The young woman with tears in her
eyes said she had just been to his place
OF business and that he had offered to
give her employment at a salary of 81 per
week. OF course, the poor girl could not
subsist on that. We registered her name
and will do the best We can for her.
