Elk SENATOR EDMUNDS is a pro-
nounced anti.expansionist, and as ne
neither wants nor expects any thing
from the present administration, and as
nobody can question his "loyalty," he
talks as he thinks, and is one OF the
few who do so. He asks if Spain had
anything but pretended" sovereignty
to cede the Philippines, and demands
the reason for the sudden turn
ing of Filipino friendship into
hostility. First, let us know,
he says, "the whole truth OF what
has happened, and then perhaps, the
advocates OF glory or dominion or trade
or civilization and religion advanced by
the cannon and the bayonet and sup
ported by the blood and treasure OF our
people can point out to US how these
are the ways Of plessantness and the
paths of peace" Age has brought
wisdom to Mr.. Edmunds, as it does to
all men who are not predestinated to
die simpletons.

doubt that the trial race between
the Columbia and Defender would
be sailed. The wind at S o'clock was
from the southwest and was scarcely
more than five knot breeze. There
was o difference OF opinion regarding
the weather outlook. Some declared
that there would be good southwes.-
erly breeze with little mist. Others ex
pressed the opinion that light breeze
and heavy mist would likely prevail
A light breeze sprang up at II O'Clock
and drizzling rain was falling. The
mist became little more dense and it
was almost impossible 10 see the racers.
At 1905 neither vessel bad cast of her
tow. The race as arranged by the COM
mittee is to be over thirty mile course.
either Is miles to the wiudward or lee
ward and return, or the triangular
course of ten miles to each leg. A hand.
some cup, valued at $780, goes to the
wilmer of today's race.
The start was made at o'clock. Both boats
stood west. tho Columbia to the windward.
The Columbia rounded the first mark about
40 seconds ahead of the Defender and rapid.
ly inc reased her advantage.

THE REAL friends of Governor Tyler,
aud all Virginians who would dislike
the Governor of their State to be de-
feated for one office while holding an
other, hope that he will not be induced
by the few who desire to down" Sena-
tor Martin, to announce himself as a
candidate for thai Senator's place. Mr..
Martin, to all intents and purposes, has
been reelected for over ayear, and now,
in view of the recent signal failure of the
famous May conference, for the Gov
ernor to attempt to defeat him, would
be another patent evidence of the bad
effects of i'll judged ambition.

WHILE TWO regiments of U. S. regu'
lars were passing through Winnemucca,
Nevada, last week, on their way to
Manila, number of the soldiers left
the train and looted neighboring
saloon. They wrecked the bar and
stole what liquor there was in sight
The barkeeper was shot down. Those
who committed the outrage then fled to
the train. If they do such things in
their own country, what may not be
expected of them when they shall reach
the Philippines? But, for all this, the
New York Sun says American soldiers
are not hooters.
