The Iinsey-wocIsey Patriotism.

1t is hard for the average American
of combined scholarship and affairs
to understand the mental attitude Of
men like DR.. Theodore S. Wooisey. of
Yale. and his very slightly gilded Tory
contemporary, President Eliot, of Har-
ward Both sit IN their clustered re-
tirement and in judgment upon all
mankind, smugly oblivious of the force,
value and inevitability Of sentiments
and aspirations which national virility,
and the stern law of necessity, create
in a great people whose productive
energies and consequent oyerplus of
commodities have far outstripped all
conditions of national organization and
opportunity that they have had or en-
joyed in the past. The Eliots and the
Woolseys, learned though they be, are
unable to realize that the day of the
concrete fight for material prosperity
and even existence has come, and that
social and international problems
which formerly, because they were not
imminent in this country, We're left
to the academic doddering of college
presidents and professors, must be
now grasped and handled by people of
a different stripe.
In a recent paper on the question of
our retention of conquered Spanish ter
ritory, DR.. Woolsey sums up his views
and position in his conclusion, which
reads: For one | am inclined to think
that if. before the war is fought to
final issue, whether through medi-
alton or Spanish initiative, peace
should be restored on the basis OF Gu
ban independence and restoration of
Manila, il would be a happy escape
from a most perplexing situation
If there were not many precedents to
be found among persons of Dr. Wool
sey's class, 1t would surprise us to see
him thus brush aside the factor of
national principle and devotion to the
cause of civilization and humanity in
treating the question of our future rela-
tions to the Philippine Islands and
Porto Rico. In so doing ne entirely
ignores the important fact that, to be
consistent, If We insist upon the expul-
sion Of Spain from Cuba, because OF

II is with a great deal Of reserve that
we venture to discuss the report that
the Third Nebraska Regiment of Vol
unteers, OF which the Hon. William
Jennings Bryan is colonel, has been ac-
Cepted and coincidently named for
service in the Philippines. Under crdi
nary circumstances. there would be
nothing out of the way in it, but when
We remember that six and a half mil
lien people voted for that colonel for
President against Mr.. Mckinley, the
thing takes on a different aspect.
Hearing of the patriotic and military
aspirations of the defeated Democratic
candidate Of 1896, we have been wa ting
in daily expectation that his successful
opponent would call him to Washington
and offer him. anything that might be

Kinley for five minutes and look into his
bright and cheerful eyes without COM
ing To just that conclusion. We refuse
10 believe that he has thought how this
thing win look, if it be true, which We
are determined to doubt until doubt X
no longer possible.
Everybody can appreciate the point
that, since volunteers are enlisted for
two years; that officers, while they are
entitled TO resign. cannot 90 so always

patriotism. or both; and that The Phil
ippine army is likely to be kept in Ash
attic regions. Col. Bryan is next to Ger
tain to be banished 10 the other side of
the world until after the nominating
conventions Of 1900.
We do not desire TO say anything in
harsh criticism of the President. God
knows that. ever since the Maine was
blown up, we have ceased to be a Dem
ocrattc organ and have striven TO hold
up the hands of the Commander-in-
Chief What we have against his Ad
ministration, in connection with dCmes-
tic politics, is a family matter which
can wait until interfering outsiders
have been whipped. And we want him
to feaI the same way. Above all things,
we do not want him to show a reverse
elevation in the case of a brave and
honorable political antagonist.
Do not do it. Mr.. Mckinley You may
not realize how greatly patriotism
draws your old partisan enemies to
your support. nor how Loyalty they VIII
stand by you in spite of past differ
ences. But oh. do not make them
ashamed of you by any exhibition OF

TROOPS READY TO SAIL.
The Second Expedition TO MnniIn TO
Move in IA Few DAYS


The War Department received advices
yesterday from Gen. Merritt in San Fran
cisco stating that the troops al San Fran
cisco are ready TO sail as soon as the
quartermaster department completes the
equipment of the transports now lying in
the harbor at that place.
Assistant Secretary of War Mefkeliohn
in speaking of the expedition to The
Times yesterday says:
THE expedition will leave San Fran
cisco for Manila not later than next
ious to get the troops away as soon as
possible and it is very probable with the
progress thus far made that the vessels
will all leave on Tuesday
The maximum carrying capacity of the
fleet selected for the second movement
is 5000 men, and that number will prob
ably be sent. The fleet will be composed
of the Zealandia, Centennial Ohio. Colon
and China. Some of the ships have com
pleted their equipment and loading has
been begun preparatory to embarking
the troops.
The Ohio will arrive at San Francisco
today. The Continental has probably
reached that port already. Both are
loaded with coal, and now only lack some
of their equiv rrent. They will surely be
ready TO sail bv Wednesday. and most
probably by Tuesday"
Mr.. Meikeljohn stated that the depart
ment is entering upon negotiations for =
number of available transports on the
Pacific coast for use in the third expedi-
ton. They will form the nucleus of that
expedition. He would not make public
the names of the vessels for the reason
that the Government might thereby Ia,
embarrassed in closing the contracts. He
hoped to be able t0sgive out their names
in a few days. z
Among the troops which are almost GER
tain to go with the expedition which is
expected to sail on Tuesday are the First
Colorado Volunteer Infantry, the Tenth
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, the
First Battalion of the United States
Twenty-third Infantry, and Battery A of
the Utah Artillery. The Nebraska troops
will also be included IN the second ex-
pedition.

THE PRESIDENTS BUSY DAY,
\ Rush of Callers md oncinI Bust
at the White House

Not for several weeks has there been
day at the White House so busy as
yesterday. From the morning hour when
the President first became accessible 10
callers until he withdrew in the afternoon
10 attend his more private official duties
a constant stream of congressman, de-
partment officials and officers of the Army
and Navy poured in and out Of the recep-

and few whose presence carried any
weight would consent 10 go without an
audience.
There was an unusual number of con-
gressional callers. Among them members
of the House Of Representatives predomi-
mated, and a majority of thsse were men
of more OF less influence upon appropria-
ton affairs.
Miss Clara Barton was among the early
callers She sat in the reception room
for nearly three hours but was unable to
secure an audience with the President.
Her card was sent-in at II o'clock. and
after waiting until 1870 without results
she temporarily abandoned her mission.
During Miss Barton's absence the Presi-
dent expressed a willingness to see her
She returned shortly after l o'clock. but
did not again succeed in gaining permis-
sion for an audience.
Miss Barton said her mission with the
President was to arrange the details of
Red Cross work in the present war. Sc
cure the necessary rights and privileges
on the scene of conflict etc. Her plans
and suggestions will be laid before the
President next week.
Adjt. Cen Corbin was closeted with
the President for some considerable time
yesterday. both before and after the hour
foI callers. Together they went over the
details Of he n II nd tIa
import of certain advices from the South
and Cuba, the text of which was subse-
quently denied to the press.
Among the Congressional callers yester-
day were Senators Lodge. Foraker, Han
ma. Wolcott. McComas. Fairbanks. Haw-
ley and Representatives Johnson. Cannon.
Taylor. Shaffroth, Mudd, Wise, Henry.
Fenton. Weaver and Adamson. Mr.. JUS
tice Brewer was also an early caller.

The Hunt for Cerrern-

We are ovsrpowered by the convic-
ton that the War Board is afraid that
Cervera win be captured or sunk by
some unauthorized movement of the
American feet. The tea party al the
Navy Department Is certainly dis
tUrbed. There is a bare chance that
something might be done at Santiago
which would destroy the strategic I'M
portance Of a policy solely directed 70
finding out what Admiral Cervera in
tends TO do with his Cadiz squadron.
That is the real issue Of the war al
present. and We are at a loss to under
stand why our ships should be kent IN
front OF Santiago when everybody can
see that our real point is to find out
whether a Spanish force is 10 be sent to
the Philippines, or is to maneuver in
the naighborhood Of the BaIearic Isl
ands. 1t is an abstract question 10 be
sure. and one that Captain and Acting
Rear Admiral Sampson is thoroughly
fitted to solve.
The glory Of America is that we do
not initiate the policies or action Of
effete dynasties in Europe In their
ease. if they We're involved in war.
they would scoot around and infict
sharp damage upon their enemy: keep
ing him at the guessing table. and hit
ting blows that would divide his feet.
We know better. Our hearts are filled
with knowledge from wisdom on high.
We do not deign to bother the other
belIigerent. We only sit around in the
Navy Department and shiver for fear
that the few rotten boats of Spain
should produce a diversion destructive
Of our yacht cruisers.
Yesterday evening we suggested that
Admiral Dewey might be Withdrawn
from Asiatic waters and brought home
TO infuse a little ginger into those cf tha
Atlantic. We take it all back. There
is too much danger that thereby W.

Iierre Lofi-Iiar.

One Of the strongest characteristics
OF the French people is a desire to stand
first in every branch Of the fine arts.
To their credit be It said, in some OF
these matters they do stand first. 1t
now appears that, finding the Spaniards
rapidly approaching absolute perfection
in the art Of lying, a Frenchman has
rushed forward and presented q claim
that he is the champion liar Of theworld.
He does not do this directly. With
tact which is truly Partisan, he brings
forth his romance and retires that we
may judge. He is a French novelist
whose works have had considerable cir
culation in America. and who, at one
time. held the position Of lieutenant in
the French navy. He thus had rare op-
portunities for seeing life in its most va
TiedfOrms. Oneo his books is entirely de-
voted to a description Of the cats which
he collected in his various circulations
about the globe. The habits. character
istics, life, death, and Christian suffer-
ings Of these cats are all minutely de-
scribed. with a skill quite unique in a
French novel. The name of this indi-
yiduaI is julien Viaud. He is better
known as Pierre Lott.
The Figaro, in a recent issue, pub
fishes q letter from Lieut.. Viaud who
has evolved his own theory Of the Maine
disaster. He believes that it was the
result Of carelessness. and gives as his
reasons for this theory several circum-
stances, any one OF which would have
accounted for the destruction of the
Rock Of Gibraltar. OF course. his opin-
ions might be supposed to have especial
weight, as coming from an ex-officer of
the French navy. He begins by saying
that the Maine was cleared for action
with her powder magazines open, and
that they contained melinite and a
greenish substance of unknown compo-
sition. Leaving the greenish substance
out Of the matter entireIy-it may have
been green peas for all we know-the
full force Of the lieutenants statement
may be understood by mere reflections
on the nature OF melinite. It is, as all
men Of any pretensions TO scientific in
formation are aware, a substance far
more deadly than dynamite or nitro
glycerine. and more easily exploded.
ANY battleship which ventured to carry
meiinite for any possible purpose would
inevitably be disseminated all over the
surrounding landscape within a very
short time. If melinite were put In a
The times., 1898-06-05

gun, il would not only explode when
the gun was touched off, but it would
burst the gun and wreck all that part
of the ship. Perhaps this French au-
thority thinks that the Maine laid in a
store of melinite especially to get her.
self blown up, but if she did, it is the
first instance on record in which bat
tleship had deliberately gone to work to
commit suicide
The next thing the lieutenant tells his
countrymen is that fifteen out of TWEEN
ty of the officers of the Maine were ah-
sent at a banquet, and the magazine
could not, therefore, have been properly
watched. 1t may be that in a French
battleship the magazines are left wide
open, and some officers pace up and
down in front of them day and night.
to see that they are not tampered with,
but in this country they are locked up
at an early hour each night, and the
key goes into the pocket of the officer
in charge. They manage these things
better In France.
Fiaud makes the statement that an
officer of the Maine remarked before
witnesses: 4 was afraid of some acci-
dent OF this kind, because of the smoke
which had been coming cut of the hold
for an hour That an officer of the
American Navy, or any other navy cut
side Of the travels Of GuIliver or Mum
chausen. should sit calmly watching
smoke coming out of the hold of his
ship. and wondering what the matter
could be. is a supposition which posi-
bly, only Pierre Lott could entertain.
he concludes his argument with the in
formation that a commission was ap-
pointed to investigate the matter cf the
explosion, but under the responsibility
of Capt Sigsbee himself. As everyone
knows who read the reports of the COM
mission. Sigsbee had nothing to do with
the Court of Inquiry. The fact that a
reputable newspaper could find it safe
TO print such stuff as this causes one
to wonder what the brains of its read
ers can contain At any rate. Pierre
Lott may fairly be regarded from this
time forth as the Great and Wonderful
Liar OF the Nineteenth Century.
