no EUROPEAN INTERVENTION.

The interview between the President and the
representatives OF the great Powers of Europe
mt the White House yesterday was one of the
most significant and Impressive incidents or
the whole controversy between the United
States and Spain. 1t made two facts OF prime
Importance entirely clear. One is that the Eu-
ropean Powers, however deep their interest In
the matter may be, have 10 thought OF NJ
tempting any Intervention beyond the express
sion of an amiable desire for continued peace
and for the welfare OF both the United States
and Spain. They recognize fully that this conn-
try is entitled 10 obtain redress for its wrongs
and TO vindcate its own honor. without aid or
hindrance from any other Power. The other
fact IL that the President means TO exercise
that right. and. while approaching the good
will and benevolent desires of the Powers, 10
pursue unmoved the course dictated alone by
American interests and American honor. The
American people gratefully appreciate and re-
ciprocate the friendly expressions OF the
Powers They emphatcally and unanimously
approve the Presidents reply.
1t had for some time been well known that
Spain was diligently trying TO get some Eu-
ropean Powers or Power 10 aid her in re-
sstlng the just demands of the United States
and, failing that, 10 secure European intcrven-
tion or mediation between her and this coun-
try. 1t is now known that her efforts in those
directions have failed. From the outset II was
beyond the possibilities OF credence that any
European Power would take up arms against
lis I'm Spaln's behalf There has. however, been
some slight leaning, here and there, toward
making offers of mediation, provided all the
great Powers could be induced to Unite in an
other concert OF Europe for that purpose. That
profect has now been abandoned because OF the
unwillingness of Great Britain to enter into It,.
That Power thus manifests It's cordial and
practical friendship for this Nation. 1t has all
along sympathizcd with the United States in
the Cuban troubles and has fully approved its
course. 1t now refuses to assent to any action
or word that might in the least add to our diff
matter which is not EurOpes concern. For
that the gratitude Of the United States Will be
freely given to its oversee knsman. 1t Is an
other proof that 'blood Is thicker than water"
Had there, however, been unanimous over
lures from the European Powers for mediation,
It Ia not easy TO see how this country could
have accepted them. There are two major prln-
ciplcs that would have forbidden II TO do So,
principles which the European Powers recog-
nize as much as the United States does. One
"a that this Is a matter purely American In Its
bearings European Powers, apart from Spain
and for this purpose she is an American and
stake in It other than purely humanitarian.
United States intervention, in Cuba will not
menace them nor imperll their balance Of

In Kansas that Ridgely WAS the Populist stand

prevails in the LVth Congress, where Ridgely
sits and answers to his name at rolcall. AS Tor
"Bodkin," there's no such person. Jeremiah

at-large In 1895, and IL still at large In the

SOMEWHAT IMPORTANT.

Perhaps newspaper readers who look beyond
Journals may have observed In the small type
and obscure corners TO which items of minor
importance are relcgatc an occasional refer
cncc TO the circumstance that enllsimcnts IN
the Navy are very slow, and the further cir
cumstance that dcsertOns are getting to be
frequent Within the last day or two 1t has
been reported that as much as $3.50 has been
paid civil officers for the apprehension OF de-
serters in single day at Southern port. 1t
has been found necessary, according to this re-
port. to detail officers from vessels In port
TO be In attendance each morning ut the police
courts and station houses TO return intending
deserters to their ships. Taken in conjunction
these two circumstances would seem to ind
cate, first, that the dearth OF men In the Navy
IS not being filed rapidly as it should be
in n time like this, and. second, that an unusual
proportion OF those now in the service are anx
ious to escape from II.
These are rather important facts. Especially
important If. as is believed in some high quar-
tiers. we are on the verge Of war which
will have TO be fought largely If not entirely
on the sea. and In which the Navy will. OF
course be the most potential factor. In such
n war it is Of the highest importance that we
should have fighting machinery in the shape
OF battle-shps. cruisers. monitors. torpedo ts

The friends of annexation do not con-
cede either.
The chances of success are greatly
enhanced by the declaration today that
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson would
soon issue a statement showing that
the arguments of the beet sugar men
that annexation will jeopardize the
success of that industry, are fallacious.
Already there is beginning survery
of the field in the event of bringing In
joint resolution, which would need
only majority to pass it through both
Houses. Clearly the antagonism Of
Speaker Reed has had the effect of
weakening the strength of annexation
in the lower House. 1t is believed,
there are not less than 40 Republican
members who are against it now, as
this would leave a good majority. as
probably 10 Democrats will vote for it.
