questions are pertinent The first is: If
the Navy ring and Sampson considered the
whole North Atlantic fleet necessary to
keep Cervera in Santiago harbor. why was
II that. on the third of July, 1898. Sampson
withdrew the entire right wing of the
force. and left Schley to take his chances
against the Spaniards with only the left
wing2 Il is a matter of history that
Schley defeated and sunk the Spanish YES
sels with one-half Of the naval power as
signed 10 that duty.
The second question is: If Cervera
had whipped the American fleet in its
depleted condition, due to Sampson s
withdrawal Of his wing: or, if cervera
had escaped, who would have been held
responsible, Schley in command, or Samp-
son behind the eastern horizon? Thess

Rev Father Conway, S. j.. Vice President
of Gonzaga College, delivered a panegyric
of the saint, intimating, in the biography,
that the world at the present period re-
auires a person possessing character and
disposition to ST. Francis TO correct it by
precept and example. In his youth he
was like all boys the speaker continued;
yet after serious illness. he was trans

very wealthy merchant, yet st. Francis

The Western UnfOn's President on

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-President Thomas
T. Eckert, of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, made public today the following
letter:
John NJ Parker. President Cotton Ex-
change, New Orleans, La:
Am in receipt of your message of yes
terday afternoon in which you charge that
the quotations service of last Friday was
no less criminal than IL it had been the
result of willful and corrupt deception.
and in which you demand that the official
or officials whose neglect of duty permit
ted such conditions, and the operator or
operators who sent the dispatches, with
out notice of change, should be known to
the world and promptly dismissed
In answer thereto, and with all re-
spect to the members and officials OF your
exchange, and with every desire to give
to them assurance of precaution against
the possibility of repetition of the cir
cumstances Of last Friday, l beg to say:
''First-That we cannot admit that any
criminality can be attributed to the ac-
ton or omission of any official or operator
of the company. Secondly-It is the pur-
pose Of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and its officers to ensure the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange and all other
exchanges the most efficient and reliable
telegraphic service possible Your long
experience makes you cognizant of that
service and win also confirm the fact that
for more than twenty years it has been
performed with exactness, reliability. and
promptness. This result has only been
reached by the education of men spe-
cially adapted to It, Thirdly-The instant
dismissal of the men or any of them who
were on duty last Friday would not ac-
complish any good purpose, but might on
the contrary. by the necessary substitution
of inexperienced men. put the correctness
of the service in peril, to the equal disad-
vantage of the exchange and the company
In the absence, therefore, of any possible
suspicion of dishonesty of motive or ac-
tion, we must request you and the mem
bers of your exchange TO believe that we
have already applied such discipline TO the
officials and operators in the commercial
news department as will best guarantee
the improbability of any interruption in
any way to the excellence of the service

A liberal offer for the Dewey home was

posal was made through J. Forrest Man

and Secretary, respectively, of the company.
Treasurer Roberts said that the matter
would be referred to Admiral Dewey. as it
is not known whether he viii prefer to buy
or build home.
The amount of money already on hand
almost reaches the $50 GOO mark, and it is
expected that il viii reach that figure by
the time the Admiral is ready TO consult
the committee having the matter in charge
It. was stated yesterday at the Treasury
Department that Admiral Dewey Will be
asked 10 appoint a time and place for this
consultation, as soon as it suits his con-
venienee. An addition of S2iI TO the fund
was received by Treasurer Roberts yesIer-
day afternoon. making a total of $49, so. IL
Is expected that a subscription OF s., 600.
taken in at a recent benefit in New York,
will be turned over to the Treasurer to-
day.
1t is known definitely now that the Ad-
miraI will accept a home as a gift from
the people. and the committee in charge of
the fund is deiuged with letters from all
parts of the country containing suggestions
as to the manner in which the residence
should be erected. Many OF the sugges-
tions are meritorious, the members CT the
committee have stated. but the matter viii

The Triumph of American Policy.
Hrom the New York Tribune. }

The yenezuelan award that puts an end to
controversy that has intermittently ragged for
three-quarters Of century, and that has on oc-
casion inspired talk of war between two. and in
deed among more than two, nations But that
is not all. The award does more than that. It
settles the case in a manner that, the face OF
it, is commended to the worlds sense of justice.
that gives neither party cause for either great
exultation or profound chagrin, and that win
doubtless be unhesitatingly accepted by both as
impartial. equitable, and final beyond dispute.
That is exactly what the award ought to have
done, and what every such award by an arbitral
tribunal ought to do. It is a notable triumph
for the principle of international arbitration, and
not only was that principle first conspicuously
put forward by the United States, but it was
specifically injected into this particular case by
the United States. For that reason alone, if for
no other, we might well say the American policy
wins. The American policy was and is arbitra-

II strikes us that those people who are pre-
dieting that the ship subsidy bill viii go through
the national House of Representatives with a rush
in the coming session of Congress are leaving
out of account an important element in that body
The House is essentially changed from what it
in its immediate predecessor. In the former
body the Republicans had fifty-six majority; in
the latter they have but fifteen. 1t would re-
quire but eight Republicans to vote against this
bill now to defeat the measure. Considering the
fact that so important Republican as Speaker
Reed was againest it in the Fifty Fifth Congress,
it is = fair presumption that il will have Re-
publican opposition next winter. Its friends are
counting upon the absence of Mr.. Reed now to
work in its favor, but they may find that he left
an example behind him which operates without
his presence.

pressive religious control. They do not in
sinuate that Otis. who was appointed to
the governor -generaIship through the in
iuence of Archbishop Ireland and Senator
Elkins, and who is an earnest if somewhat
bigoted Catholic, realizes the character
OF the system he is expected to promote.
They do declare that it is intolerable to
them, and that they will die to the last
man before they will submit to it.
We are not disposed TO discuss the ques-
tion thus presented upon its intrinsic
merits. All religious institutions, on their
human side. are liable TO abuses. The
Dutch Reformed Church in the Transvaal
is an apologist for human slavery, and
teaches that black men have no souls. The
Catholic Church in America, en- the cen
trary, is notably patriotic democratic, and
devoted to the cause of liberty and human
ity. But the attitude of Catholicism unde-
the aegis of the Stars and Stripes in this
country does not necessarily involve the
dictum that its adherents in the Philip
pines are imbued with the same ideas AMI
principles.
We are bound to take judicial notice Of
the complaints of those whom we must
subjugate, pacify, and govern. When the
Malays of Luzon charge that Otis is under
the thumb of the Dominican Archbishop OF
Manila, and that the latter is the real Gov
ernor- General OF the Archipelago, it would
be foolishness not to heed the warning.
Certainly the President of the United
States does not intend to keep alive the
conditions which, now and again for CEN
tury, have drenched LuZon in blood!
Mr.. Mckinley must look to this mat
ter, and at once even in advance of the
Ohio election!

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
The Result of Davies Conference

nv VI DstNitS conferences
With the Foreign Office.
MONTREAL, Oct. 4.-Sir Louis Davies,
since his arrival in London, has had sew
eral interviews with Mr. Chamberlain and
the Foreign Office in relation to the Alas
ka boundary dispute. Lord Pauncefote was
present at the Foreign Office consultations.
No authoritative statement can be pro-
cured, but it is understood that much
diplomatic correspondence and effort has
resulted in a provisional b6undary being
agreed upon with regard to- the Chilcoot
Pass, while the provisional boundaries al
ready arrived at in the case OF the other
passes will be continued. All the arrange
ments will be without prejudice to the
treaty rights Of either country.
The several Governments have been try
ing to find basis for a reference of the
subject to arbitration. 1t is understood
that Canada maintained the position which
was assumed by her representatives on the
Joint High Commission. She is willing to
accept either a fair compromise or a ref
erenee to arbitration with or without res
erYatlons, for which precedent is afford
ed by the Venezuelan arbitration. Sir Louis
Davies has prepared an elaborate state
ment OF Canadas case for presentation to
the home Government. He will confer
further with Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Cham
berlain after they consider it,
