Washington, Aug. Cool. Theodore
Roosevelt, of the rough riders, has
succeeded in hurrying the movements
of the war department in fetching
Skaters army away from Santiago.
though in his disregard of the convcn-
tiollalities he has drawn upon his head
q rather sharp rebuke from the secre-
tary of war. who evidently regards
the course pursued by Col. Roosevelt as
being calculated to injure discipline.
though inspired by thy most worthy
motives. 1t is only fair to state that
the war department for some TINE
has been intent upon removing the
troops, and it is now more than week
ago that Gen. Shafter was instructed
by Il special cablegram to cheer up the
soldiers by publicly informing them of
this determination. 1t was rather Il
question of ways of means than lack
of intention to remove this force that
caused delay. AS far as removing the
troops back into the mountains was
concerned (the question which seems
to have prccipitated the inclination
meeting among the American COM
manders at Santiago it was learned
that the medical department here made
no such recommendation. All that it
had to say on this subject was that if
the troops must remain near Santiago,
an effort should be made to remove
them at once to some healthier camp
ing ground. Surgeon General Stern
berg agrees thoroughly With the opin-
ion expressed by the signers of the
ground robin" ut Santiago. that men
who have suffered from the severe
malarial fevers of the South Cuban
coast. so far from being immune
against attacks of yellow fever as has
been asserted in some quarters, are
actually
In Much Greater Danger
than those who have escaped the
malarial. Malarial fever, it is stated,
is no more protection against the yell
low fever than would he raze of
measles against smallpox, While the
fearful debility resulting from the
malarial fever would certainly tend to
make the victim an especial mark for
yellow jack. The round robin" above
referred to was an appeal signed by
all the brigade and division command
erS at Santiago and addressed to Gen.
Shafrer strongly urging the necessity
of Immediately moving the army to
some point i'll the northern part OF the
United States. The appeal is couched
in the strongest terms. and says if the
army is not moved ut once it will per-
isli. The department gave out Il state
ment of it's sources in the way of
transports at Santiago. and also an
incident directed against the fact that
troops cannot be withdrawn as Il
whole until the Spanish prisoners are
disposed of. Otherwise there is 20
certainty that. finding themselves able
to do so. the Spaniards would not over
power their captors. repossess them
selves of Santiago and thus lose to the
American army the small foothold i'll
Cuba which it has cost SO much blood
and money to secure. 1t is. however,
the expectation that all Of the -Ameri-
can troops will have been removed
from Santiago to the United States by
the end Of this month. and this is prob
ably the very best that can be done
under the circumstances.

For the murder of a woman in Null
berry street, New York, five italians
were arrested. They had been only
a few years in this country, and the
detectives decided to look up their
records" in the prefecture of police
at Naples. 1t turns out that one of
them was convicted nine times, in
Italy, Of theft and blackmail; another,
sixteen times, Of assault, blackmail and
attempt at murder; two others, six and
nine times respectively, of various
crimes; and the fifth, twenty-one times,
Of assault, theft and attempt at muir
der. OF course it is we'll for Italy
that another nation stands ready 10
take such scoundrels off her hands.
But, really, should We lose anything
except a reputation for soft-headed
hospitality-if we enacted immigration
laws that would keep them out?

SPANS lack Of financial foresight
and it's abnormal perception of honor
will ruin her without other aid if she
continues her present course of policy.
II her financiers would but stop to re-
feet upon the general law that money
has a tendency to accumulate in few
hands, in two or three centuries, owing
to interest of money alone" the folly
of increasing the public debt to such an
extent as to make a debt for centuries
to come or to lose honor and caste
among nations by making tabula rasa
by a revolution would be apparent.

Santiago, Aug. Z. = Gen, Wood: will
fix the price at retail of provisions III
the market. Complaints in every
quarter CT enormous charges for stufrs
by retailers forced him to take the
matter in hand, though he had hoped
the large cargoes recently landed and
the reduction in duties would soon
bring values down to- normal figures.
Dealers still, however, force, up the
prices, causing additional misery ana
much complaint. Beef is retaiied' mt
50 cents. n pound, 400 per cent over the
true value, and prices Of other goods
are IN; proportion.. Gen.. Mood, will
hold conference with the merchants
and fix prices, with fair margin of
profit and promulgate an order.

Bad government seems to prevail IN
Corea, The United States Consul Al
len in a report says: II hear from the
country that the high price of rice
has induced the farmers in many re-
eions to reclaim new land for the
purpose of increasing the production of
this staple. The short-sighted greed of
the official class, however, will, as
usual take away the profits from the
producer and cause the farmer to raise
only enough for bare subsistence.
Recently whole villages Of prosperous
farmers, who had been taught indus
try, frugality, and honesty by the
American missionaries. were arrested
on the false charge of holding secret
and sedtious meetings and thrown
into prison. Every possession they
had in the world was taken by the
soldiers. runners, and magistrates, and
several of the men actually died Of
starvation in prison. Strong effort was
made to have these poor people brought
to trial, that their cases might be set
tied one way or another, so they would
be able to get in their spring crops.
Nothing could be done, however, be-
cause of the reluctance of the magis-
trate to have his acts investigated.
Another pernicious custom is the send
ing out of secret inspectors, presum-
ably to investigate abuses, but, as these
men have great powers and are ex-
pected to bring in large extra revenues,
they squeeze every man who has any
thing worth taking. There are good
officials. and these are honored and re-
spected by the people, but they are
few" It isathus that all reforms are
frustrated among people dishonest
by habit. .:.-y 49,,

THE CANADIAN OCTOPUS.
Senator Elkins Is Afraid ThJ' One
Railroad VIII Ruin \ -aerica.

A diversion in the debate on the Alaska
railroad bill was created by Senator Ell
kins in the Senate yesterday afternoon.
He made vigorous attack on the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad, stating that by
reason of the fact that il was subsidized
by the English government, it could af-
ford to and was carrying freight and
passengers at rates which the American
roads could not afford to do; that it had
established agencies in all the large cit
ties of foreign nations on both sides of
US, and was practically controlling 80 per
cent of our foreign commerce. 1.-The Ca
madam Pacific" said he, has been called
by some the Canadian government on
wheels. He said that the managers of
that road were known among railroad
men as 'the sitting bulls because they
never changed their position, or made a
single concession to other roads. They
were bound to control the transcontinent-
al railroad business of this continent and
he thought it was only a question of a
short time when they would bankrupt
the American roads.
Mr.. Hoar here interrupted Mr. Elkns
and said. 81 had understood that the
and before by petitions and all other
means to keep railroad rates down. Now
1t is with much surprise that l listen to
the argument of this Senator when he
says that here Is a monster that actually
carries passengers and freight cheap, and
puts down the price of -four to the New
! England States especially"
Senator Elkins: Il want to ask the sem
ator if he rejoices at the low rates OBJ
tainable in New England, when it is at
| the expense OF all other parts of the coun-
try. Should one-twentieth of the people
live off the other pineteen-twentieths?"
Mr.. E,lkins then alluded to the advan-
| tage which Great Britain had from a
! military point of view by reason of con-
| trolling this railroad. aging that an army
| could be transported and landed almost
| anywhere along our northern borders be-
| fore we could even get our troops to-
| gether He thought that this state of
! things ought to be stopped and that
| means ought to be employed to divert
and keep our transportation business for
| our own roads. and thus build them up
| and sustain them. He asserted that if
! they could control the volume of business
| that the Canadian Pacific did, they would
! be able to give just as low rates and still
make money, and also be a benefit to the
country by keeping this money within the
! country.
Mr.. Ellinss speech was replied to by
| Senators Hoar. Lindsay. Nelson and
| Chiffon. All of these gentlemen objected
| TO legislating against anything that would
| cut off any competition in the way of rail
| road rates.
The whole matter was outside of the
| bill under discussion. and there is no
measure before Congress touching on this
| matter.
