current here today that a treaty of
alliance between Great Britain and
Germany, on the lines of the speech
of Mr.. Chamberlain, the secretary Of
state for the colonies, was actually
completed yesterday. This probably
is an application of the gossip rela-
tive to the daily visits of Count Won
Hatfield Weidenberg, the German
ambassador, to the British foreign Of
flee during the past fortnight, which
have been attributed to a desire upon
the part of Germany and Great Bri-
tain, to formulate a common policy
in regard to Russia and China An
other explanation Of the German am
bassador's visit to the foreign office
here is that they relate to the mixed
tribunals of Egypt, the international
agreement on the subject ending in
February. Through French and Rus
sian influence, the court has always
hampered the British plans for the
use of the Egyptian savings and the
advancement of Egypt. Now, it is said,
an agreement has been almost reached
by which Germany will support the
British views relative to the future
composition and powers Of the mixed
tribunals
1t is said as a guild pro quo for Ger
manys support in Egypt, Great Britain

lze Syria as an outlet for her surplus

Canadian Pacific Decision.

the interstate commerce commission
has rendered a decision to the effect
that the Canadian Pacific Railway
company is not entitled to a differen-
tial passenger rate from points in Unit
ed States territory and it's Eastern and
Western stations or terminals. It would
be difficult to conceive how the com
mission could arrive at any other con-
clusiOn and maintain an attitude of
fairness toward the American lines
The claim of the Canadian Pacific never
rested upon either reason or common
honesty Of judgment, but was put for
ward arbitrarily, because of the ex-
emption of the corporation from ODE
dience to the federal laws governing
traffic between the several states of
the Union.
The speciousness Of the claim is
clearly pointed out in the decision by
the commission. wherein it says that
the claim of the company to a diff
ferential on account of the longer time
consumed is found to have little force
from the fact that it makes much bet
ter time via st. Paul than over it's main
line; and the presumption is that if
could make as fast time over the latter
route and Furthermore, "a railroad
must not create a disability for the
sake Of obtaining a differential." But
1t has been through this "baby act"
method Of pleading, associated with
other methods of a kindred quality,
that the Canadian Pacific precipitated
and has maintained the ruinous rate
war which has existed for more than
six months.
But what are the remedies? Must
the discontinuance of the long and
short haul clause prevail. or must the
Canadian Pacific be simply told not to
do so any more, and be relied upon to
obey this virtuous injunction? Surely
there is need Of positive legislation
which shall compel this line to respect
the rights of our home corporations.

Who Is Responsible?

President Mckinley has thus far
escaped direct censure for the short
comings of the war department and its
offending head. The fact is recalled,
by contrast, that Notwithstanding the
tremendous activity of our fleets IN
connection with the pursuance OF the
war, no complaint has been uttered IN
regard TO the management by Secre-
tary Long of the navy department.
Early in the war a naval board was
established, and its operations in large
part controlled the movements, or the
lack of movement, both of Sampson
and Schley's squadrons. 1t soon be-
came apparent that these officers could
be trusted to carry on the maneuVers
to better advantage without interfer
ence, and they were left to the eXer-
else of their own judgment, and with
what brilliant results the world al
ready knows. In striking contrast with
the calm and dignified conduct of the
naval branch of the war stands forth
the scandalOus operations of the mill
tary arm of the service, both in the
initiative and in the concluding chap
ters.
Mr.. Mckinley, if he shall fail to di-
rect an investigation, such as is de-
manded by the people, not only of Sec
rotary Alger's official conduct, but of
that of Surgeon General Sternberg,
Commissary General Egan and Quar-
termaster General LudingtOn, must
not blame the people for holding him
officially and personally responsible for
ia Of I, ioJ,
to pass. The president was expect
ed to visit Camp Wikoff to-
day. The of1iciOus Alger, it is an
nOunced, will return from Washington
to New York and parade himself by
the presidents side, no doubt in the
belief that in his unctuous way he will
convince Mr.. Mckinley that everything
is all right and just as it should be at
that place, and that the sharp criti-
cisms are simply due to the hullabalOo
Of an unfriendly press.
The sentiment of the press has
not been unfriendly toward Mr..
Mckinley personally or official
ly, since the war began. But if
he shall permit himself to be BAN
boozled by Ayers sophistries into the
belief that nothing is wrong and that
no investigation is called for he will
discover that, not only the press, but
the people will classify him with Alger,
with Sternberg and the other incom-
petent officials, and in the event of no
action being taken looking to the ex-
posture of the causes leading to the
condition Of things which has prevail
ed, he must accept upon his own head
and shoulders the full burden of the
awful responsibility.

With big crops, sound money, a big trade

We are more than ever impressed with the

II was waning in the East. Then the Pacific
coast took it up. but we fear it is too late.
AT no time has the president been in favor
of annexing the Philippines. The conserva-

! rom the N. " Fourth Estate.
Unless all indications fail the country will
do the largest business this fall that has
been done in many years. The times are
ripe for a boom. Timid men of capital who
have hitherto refused to put their money in
new business ventures, now that the country
has resumed a peace basis will be looking for
new investments. Merchants who have hest
tated to give out large orders for stocks be-
cause Of the unstable condition Of the mar
kets will now come forward as generous
active purchasers. Mining and industrial en-
terprises which have been languishing during
the last six months will now be pushed to
the utmost extent. Already the New York
market is being besieged with orders from
merchants all over the country The large
wholesale houses report that while in some
instances individual orders are not as large
as they have been in other years there have
been more buyers. The shipping trade, which
was hurt probably more than any other bust
ness in this metropolis, is giving evidences
of rapid recovery. All Of the export houses
report an increased demand for goods and
the steamers and ships which have been W.
ing up for so many months for lack of car

This favorable outlook for the fall means
a great deal to the newspapers. II means
that the advertising business, is to be largely
expanded during the next three monfbs
Men who have goods to sell must approach
the public through the press. An increase in
the use OF advertising space in the newspo
pers means more money in the publishers
pockets.

SMITH FAMILY PICNIC.
Some Three Thousand of Them AS
sembIed at PIainfieId, N. j.

NEW YORK, Sept q - The Smith
family, of New Jersey, held it's annual
picnic in Plainfield Nearly 5000
Smiths assembled on the ground sa-
cred to generations of Smiths. 1t has
been in the Smith family since the
time of King Georges rule.
One Of the first arrivals was Isaiah
Smith, president Of the association,
and patriarch and caretaker of the
morals of the tribe. Isaiah claims to
be lineal descendant of the celebrated
John of colonial times
The older folks gathered in groups
to renew acquaintance and indulge
in "reminiscences. The Smith boys and
girls divided into couples, and played
games. The Smith babies just rolled
around on the green grass and cooed
to themselves. 1t was a happy lot of
Smiths.
After the dinner hour there were ex-
ercises appropriate to the occasion
The Smiths gathered under the trees,
while an old Dutch banner, which is
always swung to the breeze on the
occasion of the Smith picnic, was an
evidence of how the first Smiths came
to this country. Isaiah Smith presided

The New Wheat Movement,

From the Philadelphia Record.
Western primary market receipts of wheat
in eight weeks of the present crop year have
been IL 200, coo bushels less than those of last
year and 100000 bushels short of the re-
ceipts during the corresponding period in
1896. Fully 7,000 COO bushels of this deficiency
are accounted for by a decrease in the move
ment of spring wheat due to the exhaustion
of the old crop and the fact that shipments
of the new crop have just begun. The de-
crease of 100000 bushels in the seasons re-
ceipts of winter wheat is regarded by many
as an evidence Of the unwillingness of farm
erS to market their wheat at ruling prices.
While it is probably true that wheat pro-
ducers, having realized good prices for their
1897 crop and being in exceptionally strong
financial condition, are not anxious to hurry
their wheat to market this season, the small
er receipts at commercial centers are not
convincing evidence that wheat is not being
marketed as freely as 1t has been in former
years. The fact should not be ignored that
the crop year began with exceptionally small
stocks of old wheat in miHers and farmers
hands; and 1t is highly probable that much
Of the new wheat has this season gone direct
from the farms to interior mills, and hence
has not figured in the arrivals at primary
markets. Practically as much wheat has
been shipped out of the country since July
l as was exported during the corresponding
period last year, and visible stocks have
fallen away in exact proportions to the de-
creased primary receipts. There has been IN
questionably, however, considerable re-
Punishment of mill supplies, the proportions
of which if known would probably demon
strate that more, rather than less wheat has
been marketed from the larger yield Of 1898
than from the smaller crop of 1897.

AT Santiago we had to deal with
Things as they We're, not as they should
be. OF course, there was sickness. II
was inevitable in a summer campaign.
But nobody was neglected. The doc
tors were scarce at first, but we had
bOatloads of them as soon as thew

was lower in any war. Why, in the
Civil war, I lay on the battlefield my
self until maggots developed in my
wounds, and that was right near by.
not down in a malarious, subtropical
country far away
The men who ordered a summer
campaign in fever-infested country
are responsible for the natural and un-
aVoidable consequences.
None of our wounded were allowed
to lie on the battlefield. as 1 was in
the Civil war. Nothing of the kind
happened. Anaesthetics were plenti-
full. It was the heat that was SO dead
ly. And the rains! Right in the midst
Of the most torrid heat a shower would
fall. 1t would drepch everybody with
out cooling the air. In a few min
utes under the sun again, every man
would be steaming. Men Of the strong
est constitutions succumbed
Our men were all unacclimated:
they never had faced such constant
heat. Many of them had never slept
outdoors before they went into camp.
How could they be nodded into proper
material for such a climate and such
a campaign? 1t couldn't be done. These
men you see coming back with their
thin bodies and the yellow faces are
suffering from the parasite Of the low
fever Of the Santiago plateau. The cool
air and good home care will cure them.
81 am satisfied with the Santiago
campaign. When it is fully under
