Though most Of the defensive prepara-
tons now being busily carried on by the
navy and army departments cannot be
strictly called emergency measures,
while this country is in friendly diplo-
matte relations with Spain, the creation
of new war department by Secretary
Alger would seem to fall into the
emergency category. This involves a
change Of policy. 1t means that a concen-
tration of regular troops in temporary
department is contemplated in the
event Of certain complications in the
near future, and that steps are under
way for prompt realization of such
concentration when needed
That this new department is created
out Of the southern portion of the de-
partment of the east is significant, for
this region would be first exposed to
attacks in the event of war with Spain.
1t comprises the states of South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida. Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Texas and is known as the
department of the gulf.
General Miles will probably mobilize
the regular troops moved southwark in
to this department with those already
stationed there. The Importance Of the
movement is readily apparent in the
case of either defensive or offensive mi
litary operations against Spain.

much in earnest in the desire to carry
out her wishes in the east; and the only
question is to how great lengths Eng
land will allow her to go before she ac-
lively opposes the encroachments of the
czar.
According to well-informed Russian
diplomat, Russia's present aims "are
merely to obtain an ice-free port to
serve as the terminus of her railway
system, to isolate Japan and to develop
the vast commercial wealth of China"
That is quite program and it means
that various obstacles must be overcome
before it is fully carried out.
Russia believes that if Japan is al
lowed to Join forces with China, "the
white races are doomed" This belief
will later on furnish a good pretext for
a war with Japan, which is clearly one
Of the obstacles referred to, to Russian
ambition.

One of the projects for the settlement
of the Cuban question, which has been
brought to the attention of the adGlinis-
tration, is what may be called the Ca
NADIA plan. This proposes to give Cuba
all the rights, privileges and immuni-
ties enjoyed by Canada; Spain reserving
to herself only such rights as England
exercises over her colonies. Such a
proposition would be worth serious con-
sideration were the inhabitants of Cuba
as intelligent and capable as the Cana
dians. But as they are not, this kind
of government would be a very
doubtful experiment

The Hummel process of picture teleg
raphy has been successfully tried by
the New York Herald, which Saturday
reproduced two Cuban pictures trans
mitted from Key West to their Office
by this ingenious device. A portrait of
Gomez and sketch of the Montgomery
entering Havana harbor, received by
the recording of dots and dashes, were
re-drawn in India ink and then en-
graved The Herald says:
A carriage run by minute motor and
having projecting arm, the end hold
ing fine steel point, commenced NOV
ing backward and forward. Under the
point and held firm and smooth on a
bed of brass, were two sheets Of white
paper each four and half inches
square and between them carbon sheets
to make a copy.
Across the paper Travelled the point,
making broken lines of dots and dashes.
At each trip across the point was moved
by finely graduated ratchets very slight
ly from the line in which it had moved
the preceding time.
In Key West the inventor, Mr.. Hum
mel, Herald artist, a Herald CORE
spondent and a telegraph operator were
sitting beside the transmitter The art
ist had drawn a picture on tin. He had
re-drawn the lines with a fine brush
dipped in solution of shellac, which is
a non-conductor of electricity. A plati-
mum point on the projecting arm of the
transmitter was moving backward and
forward across the picture, regulating
the motion of the steel point which was
moving over the paper on the brass bed
of the receiving instrument in the Her.
aid library.
Wherever the platinum point in the
transmitter touched a line of the shell
lac, the circuit was broken, and the
steel point in the receiver was thrown
down on the paper, tracing line corre-
spending to that taken by the platinum
point. When the latter passed the shell
lac, the circuit closed again and the steel
point lifted.

The comparatice brevity in point of
years of our national history is forcibly
brought to mind when it is remembered
that Friday was the fiftieth anniversary
of the funeral Of John Quincy Adams,
one of our early presidents, in Boston.
And New England has not furnished an
occupant of the White House since the
close of Adams administration. Proba-
bly, no president will ever be furnished
by this section of the country again.
