Offensive 0dOrs.

The conyalescent soldiers at the Wash
ington Barracks, more Familiarity known as
the Arsenal" are said to complain bitterly
at times of the rnsavory doors which are
waited to them from the eastward. and it
is reported perhaps loosely, that on re-
cent occasion when the effiuvia became
moe than ordinarily pronounced and dis
agreeable soma of the more able-bodied of
the men Aroposed raid upon the soap

their discomforts. This complaint meraly

a section of the population of Washington.

flats are still a menace to health. The fes-

Diplomacy and the Machine,

The approaching change IN the State De-
partment. which will transfer John Hay
from London to Washington, invites at
tention to the admirable manner in which
Mr.. Mckinley has managed the leading
patronage of the government in the line of
diplomacy. There has been a growing de-
mand for years that the principal diplo-
matte places be divorced from the influence
or mere machine politics and bestowed
solely with the view of securing a high
orGer OF service for the country, and the
president has met it, there is no exaggera-
Ton IN saying, most completely and sue
cessfully.
We may start, for illustration. with the
appointment Of Mr.. Hay to the place he
ROW holds 1t stands at the head of tn :,
patronage OF the State Department, and Is
in great request at the beginning Of every
administration. There were presented to
Mr.. Mckinley the names OF g number of
accomplished men, some of them very
strong, politically. h chose Mr. Hay. a
good republican, but without any machine
influence or connection of any kind. His
sole recommendation was his excellent
equipment for the post. The selection was
tighly applauded by the country, and Mr..
Gay in office has justified Il a hundred

spanish Theatricals.

The Star or Saturday called attention to
some strange outgivings from high Spanish
sources az to the meaning of the peace
protocol and what the subjects of discus
sion would be at Havana, San Juan and
Paris. Today We have tie statement from
Madrid that a distinction is drawn there
between cession of sovereignty and ces-
sion of territory. This applies to Cuba and
Porto Rico. and means, If anything that
although the Spanish authority is 10 cease
in both those islands. the United States. as
matters now stand. will acquire no rights in
Spains property in the islands either for
itself in tie one case as trustee for the
Cuban people in the other. This is either
nor sense, which the American commission
ers may be expected speedily to dispose OF,
or else, II insisted on by Spain, 1t Will
necessarily lead to prompt reopening of
hostili.ies.
As understood in this country, the situa-
ton in Cuba and Porto Rico is not at all
complicated So far as Spains vanishing
power is concerned. The commissioners at
Havana and San Juan Will be occupied
principally with questions relating to evac-
Cation and the return of the Spanish troops
TO the peninsula. But Cuba and Porto Rico,
and all else that in them is, will remain,
in the one case for the benefit of the United
States, and in the other for the benefit Of
the people of Cuba. With US, the cession
of sovereignty will mean the cession of
territory. Surrender of sovereignty &C
cCmpalied by evacuation of the territory
and its actual transfer to the United
States is practical cession Of the territory.
though in Difference to the Spanish law
that such SESSIONS can be made only by
the cortes the use of the word territory
was avoided.
The Philippines present question apart.
1t is not unreasonable TO assume that, as
to that question, neither the American nor
the Spanish case is yet entirely made up.
Spain cannot make up her case until she
is advised as to what ours Is, and discus
sion in this country shows that we are not
today prepared to commit ourselves fully
on the subject. But We shall be in good
time.
The suggestion should be borne in mind
that Senior Sagasta is engaged only in some
theatricals; that he will throw off his mask
in season and take a real part in real bust
ness. He knows his actors, and what his
audience demand, and should be allowed
to set the stage to suit himself. But he
ought to be particular to see that the final
curtain descends on his little comedy be-
fore October l.

The Work at Paris.

Speculation from Madrid respecting the
personnel of the Paris peace commission
mentions Seniors Castillo, Moret and Merry
del Val and Admiral Cervera as proba BILE
Spanish members. They are men of emil
nent ability and would handle thu Spanish
case with skill. Senior Castillo is considered
the first of active Spanish diplomats. and
stands high in Paris, where he il stationed.
Moret is a man OF force, and Merry del Val
wss the pope's reprs senta tive in the difficult
business adjusted in Canada last year
growing out of the clash between the Ca
madam Catholics and the government over
the school question. Admiral Cervera we
all know and highly respect.
The United States must, of course, watch
these men, or any men of their grade. and
can easily do so. The American commits
sionsrs should represent the country's best
talent and most earnest aspirations. They
should, and can safely DE selected without
special regard to either party or section.
The war has fully demonstrated the fact
that in a controversy with a foreign power
our truly representative men rise at once
above party and section and consider only
the interests of the whole country. Still, in
the nature of things. both parties will BE-
represented on the commission to fix the
terms Of peace, just they were in the
active forces in the f=ld while the war was
in progress.
The suggestion is thrown out that If the
Paris treaty is not drawn with the extrem-
est care, and with unerring agreement with
public sentiment in thu United States, it
nay become issue in our local politics
and divide the people in the national cam
paign OF 1900 There would appear to be
little reason for uneasiness on this score.
A treaty passing muster at Paris and sub
sequently here in the Senate will be very
likely TO show care in the preparation and
such regard for American interests and SEN
timent as will afford small ground for SUBJ
ssquent political campaign material. The
work Will not be easy, but the men engaged
in 1t Will be capable, and their one aim will
be to secure for the country, permanently,
whatever. and all. of the fruits of victory 1t
may hope to benefit by in the larger career
upon which all are agreed 1t is entering and
should enter. The American commissioners
are not likely to be without advices as to
what the country desires. and they are very
certain to meet the country's expectations.

A Chat
About Our Plans.

wv YE HAVE DELAYED
Wv making answer to
the volley of in
terested inquiries that have
been made on all sides
since the announcement
that we had bought the
stock and leased the store
of Mr.. Emmons S. Smith
not that we didn't want to
take the public into our
confidence, but that when
we did speak it might be
from well-developed plans.
The framework of the great
business we hope to build
here is constructed at last.
The combined stores
are to be Saks Stores in
policy-in purpose-in re-
liability-in enterprise. The
success you've given us in
our present business as
sures us our methods are
approved. We are glad.
We've tried hard to give
you the best possible serv-
ice-and we start into the
broader field with great
achievements behind us
and high aims and ambi-
tons before lis. You'll
feel at home in the Greater
Store" because it'll have
the familiar ways.
We have grown-not
MISUNDERSTANDING the
old to stretch around the
new. But by annexation.
AS Clothiers and Outhtters
to men and boys we shall
occupy our accustomed
place-in the lead. We
shall be there by virtue of
our deserts. Those lines
are to have more room
than they've ever had. The
Saks Building will be given
up to them wholly and
solely, with the exception of
Ladies Shoes-and even
they will eventually find
quarters in the Smith
Building. It'll be the
largest exclusively Mems
and Boys Quitting House
not only in Washington
but in the country-and
the best equipped.
Ihe smith Building will
hold the new departments.
Some that Mr.. Smith car
ried will be continued
others will not be. But
we're going to add twenty
or thirty that neither he nor
we have had. Everything
for everybody" will be the
slogan of the future. A
department store in the
fullest sense of the word.
Complete in its divers
lines. Complete in each
line. Washington has
never had just exactly such
a store as we intend to
make this. All the details
will soon be ready. In a
day or two Mr.. Smith will
have completed his in
ventory-the store and
stock will be turned over
to us-and then what is
now prophecy will become
reality. Then are we to be
congratulated upon our
great acquisition-and you
upon the greater advant-
ages the greater store will
afford. May we prosper
jointly.
