Nicholas IT., emperor of Russia, has set all the world a-wondering by his call for an international conference, the object of which shall be "the maintenance of gen. eral peace and the possible reduction of the excessive armaments which weigh up- on all nations" The proposal is certainly magnanimous one, and its sincerity can not be doubted, but when it is remembered that Russia is almost at daggers ends with d nation equally as great as herself, many express the opinion that the era of universal peace would be decidedly neared were she to abandon her menacing and aS- gressive policy in foreign countries.
 The czar of Russia was born May IS. 1868, and is therefore past his thirtieth year. He succeeded his father, the late Emperor Alexander H., in 1S94 He Is

His majesty has pleasant face, closely resembling the Duke of York, is a deep thinker, and is said to be the most devoted of sovereign husbands Probably the most noted of the czar's relatives is his grand uncle, the Grand Duke Michael field marshal in the Russian army, who came into additional prominence by disinheriting his second son and excluding him from the army on ac- count of having married outside of royalty
 The czarina is the daughter of Princess Alice of Great Britain and granddaughter Of Queen Victoria. She is very delicate, and the greatest fears were entertained for her health nearly year ago, when she was stricken with smallpox. Two children bless the union, the oldest of whom is the Grand Duchess Olga, born in 1895.

According to Washington dispatches

taken as reliable. although Spain had
mot yesterday responded to President
AIcKInIey's eelly5rance of Wednesday,
the belief Is confident that the Spanish
cabinet will accept the terms. The fact
that the Madrid cabinet conference was
lnconclusive Is taken IS logical evidence
thar the government is playing for eff
feet on the Spanish populace. A too
prompt granting of the terms Of this
government. without apparent efforts
70 obtain more liberal concessions would
be fraugh; with domestic dangers that
would not improve the situation between
4he Spanish throne and the turbulent

There Is hardly a possibility that the

only point being as to how long the de-

not embarrassing this government; on

Spanish position all the more hopeless.

The Register contains an able edl-

a temporary malntaInment OF an army
of 100. 1000 men until the purposes Of the
war are accomplished is entirely uVr
necessary. Notwithstanding this advice,
no one need apprehend that our MILL
tary authorities and the government will
do more than is necessary in this line.
The immediate dlsbanding Of the mill
l,ary forces and the reduction back TO
a peace footing was not expected. A
new and stable government must be es-
tablIshed in Cuba, under our obligation.
and we presume that those who will
have the matter in hand will be compe-
tent to Judge of the requirements.
The people are learning. have learned,
that matters have been in safe bands
up to the present time. AS to the size
Of the peace army-we have already
seen what It means to keep It on too
small a peace footing. Those who were
demanding war, and who branded Will
lam Mckinley as guilty OF cOwardly
delay in attempting to avert war by
honorable means, as was his duty TO the

uatIon which war has brought has to
be met. Captlous critics and jlngoes,

The government n this country had 10

future Of the Philippines. But it did
not assume the quarrel Of Agulnaldo.
He has been tolerated and

whether he and l1ia tolloWera are capa-
bic Of administering the government Of

followers needed In the leader Of sue
eessfuI revolution and the organizer at
stable and enlightened government.
BE has shown craft but NOT statesman
ahip: 0bStinaey but not courageous per-
severence.
The government PROBABLY knows by
this time Just how far Aguinaldo can
be trusted and whats his designs are.
Above all else he does NOT wish 20 be-
come a subject Of Spain again. This
fact may help the United States TO de-
eide as to its future course in the Phil

It would not be dlmcult to bring
AguInaldo 20 this understanding II It
should be found necessary, pending
peace negotiations. Dewey and Merritt
win be equal to the occasion, and the
lesson Will doubtless be quickly learned.
