LUMINOUS FOUNTAINS OF PARIS
The fountains Of Paris are among the
most interesting features OF the city,
aud the authorities are careful to in
crease their atuactiveness whenever
the opportunity arises. An experi
ment has beo1 tried by which the We
tefs will become luminous. 1t was not
contemplated TO have the variety Of
colors which are displayed from time TO
time By fountains in the grounds OF IL
ternational exhibitions, and which are
manipulated by the aid of apparatus
placed at q height. In Paris sort OF
golden yellow will alone be employees;
but the waters will assume the appear
ance of cascades of diamonds and tc-
PAGES. According TO the ARCHITECT, the
effect will be attained by means OF cleo
trio lights and colored glasses placed
around the basin in such o way that
the beauty of the fountain will not be
diminished when seen by daylight. The
fountains which were selected for trials
were those in the Theatre Fran
Gals and the Place de la Concorde, and
up to the present the anticipations OF
the municipal engineers are satisfacto-
rilv realized.

NOTHING the administration has done
or left undone has been so thoroughly
unpopular as the preferment of Samp-
son over Schley, from the beginning OF
the war, but more especially since the
battle OF July third. Some newspapers
are trying to make it appear that Sch
ley had no more to do with really fight
ing the battle than Sampson-that it
was the perfect organization and the
individual captains that won the fight
and this being SO, Sampson as COM
mander in chief should have the hon.
or, according to historical precedent.
The nation would have given Sampson
the honors gladly il he had himself
distributed honors where they belong
ed in his reports to the department..
And more than all else, the country
can never forget the wording of that
Fourth OF July Present letter. 1t is
not less honor to Sampson the country
demands, but more to the other naval

THE ADMINISTRATION POLICY

NEWS from Washington, seeming
to come through q very reliable chan
mel, states that the presidents policy
in regard to the disposition OF the
Philippines Is essentially as fol
lows:
1. The detention by the I'm itet
States OF the island OF Luzon, on which
the city of Manila is located.
2. Equal trad facilities with Spair
In the remainder OF the Philippine
group.
,. None OF the islands to be disposed
of TO any foreign nation.
4. The severance of all existing re-
lations between church and state in
the entire Philippine group.
1t appears that the president, in
reaching his decision, has not been
guided altogether by the sentiment OF
the people Of the country, which has
been so unequivocslly voiced by the
press. He has not been slow to see
what the people want, and IL he could
feel sure OF the support OF the senate
when the time comes to ratify the
treaty he would without much doubt
instruct the peace commissioners to de-
mand the whole Philippine group. AS
II is, he has good reason to believe that
the senate would not consent to retain
ing the whole archipelago, and rather
than jeopardize the negotiations he is
willing to defer the acquisit ion of the
other islands.
The island OF Luzon has about four
ffths OF the area of the whole Philip
pine group. While there are from
twelve hundred to two thousand small
islands scattered about the vicinity,
not more than half a dozen are worth
quarrelling over at all.
In view of the. bird article of the
terms as outlined Dove, it seems rea-
sonably certain that II Luzon alone is
acquired now IL will simply mean de-
ferring the time when all the group
shall be American territory. For it is
thought in official circles that Spain
will have little use for her eastern
colony after the only valuable part OF
the group Is lost to her. Her accept
ance of the terms will save in some
measure her own pride, and at the
same time it will virtually give us the
refusal Of the remaining islands at any
time we may feel disposed to buy them.
With the proviso that the third ar
ticle must be included, aud that the
United States must be vested with full
power, without outside iu reference, to
see that all the terms are strictly COM
piled with, that policy is we'll worthy
of endorsement, as being conservative
and just and clean.

pose OF building 9 bsttleship to be

world has never known other soldiers
that hold or gain ground in the face of
such high percentages of loss. In his
article Mr.. Hughes dwells on this
quality and declares that it makes the
Yankee supreme as soldier. He as
serts that no American body of men
ever hung back from an assault be-
cause it appeared hopeless, and in ex-
ample of this dashing quality he cites,
in conclusion, the following &C.
count of one of the incidents at Santi-
ago:
"There were thirteen men of the
Ninth infantry at Ell Caney who enter
ed blockhouse through the roof and
killed thirty-five Spanisrds. They lost
the first four men that dropped in, but
after twenty minutes of hand-to-hand
fighting there were fifteen hale Ameri-
cans and no living Spsniards."
