The Blow to American Prestige.

More rumors come into Washington
from Central and South America of a
spreading distrust of the United States,
and of combinations among these smaller
republics to resist possible aggressions
from the dominant power to the north.
The news dispatches say that these
rumors cause uneasiness in administra-
ton circles, and yet we have nothing to
fear, have we? from any combination
they can make, since in might of arm we
would still be as giant to dwarf.
No, it is not on this account that
Washington is disturbed. Uneasiness
exists because it is beginning to be
realized that moral force is still power
among the nations, and that we can
not provoke the distrust and quiet I'M
friendlness of these neighboring states
without injury to our commerce, our In
fluence and our prestige in the ways of
peace. 1t emphasizes the lamentable
fact that we stand before the world
morally discredited, and that our pre-
tensions to dislnterested motives In be-
ginning and closing the war with Spain
have become joke and by-word among
I the nations. Whether country which
gave such assurance to the world as we
did. of being governed solely by con-
siderations of humanity, and which
proved to be not great enough morally
to resist the very first temptation pre-
scented to turn the war to land-grabbing
uses-whether such nation is in posi-
ton to throw many stones at France at
this moment may well be questioned.
Are hypocrisy and weakness exhibited
on such a scale more to be honored than a
prostitution of justice to race prejudice
and the so-called honor of an army
machine?
We can still defy the world in arms,
but we cannot so successfully defy that
world opinion which, without lifting a
single musket, establishes and enforces a
code of international law, and which can
cause the greatest of nations to quail. as
France is now finding to her cost. We
have outraged republican sentiment
wherever it exists. and prove ked return
of Suspicion and distrust and unfriendl-
ness which must inflict upon US infinite
damage as moral force in the world
Exchange.

HOAR'S LETTER TO
EX-SENATOR EDMUNDS
Says Neither Congress Nor the People is
Committed to Policy of Imperialism
Flag Should Never BE Hauled
Down From Moral Field

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Hoar
has written letter to ex-senator Ed
munds, replying to an invitation to be
present at meeting to be held tomor-
row night to discuss the Philippine
question. Senator Hoar declines to at
tend because he thinks that what he
would have to say on the Philippine
question would be more effective if said
in his place in the Senate than else
where. He adds:
II have not changed the opinion |
formed and expressed last winter, ex-
cept that it has been confirmed and
strengthened by what has happened
since. If we had dealt with the people
of the Philippine islands as we under
took to deal with the people of Cuba,
whom we declared-and they certainly
had no better title-of right ought TO
be free and independent; if instead or
undertaking to buy them, and then I'M
dertaking to subjugate them by force
we had assured them of our purpose TO
respect their rights to protect them
against foreign interference, to AID
them to restore order and to leave
them. whenever they should desire, to
the blessings Of freedom and of self
government, we should have had no
war. We should have had no loss OF
life. We should have had no large ex-
penditure of money. We should not
have trampled on the doctrines upon
which our own institutions are found
ed We should not have contradicted
the pledges of our fathers. We should
not have outgrown history. We should
not have incurred the undying hatred

George w CASTOR, badly shaken up.
The colliding trains were the SIP p.

ton. Owing to the pulling out of a
drawbar on the Providence express at
Back Bay station, that train was laid
up on the outbound trip, The West
Roxbury train was to have been
switched. which was followed by local
No. 10. Mr.. Robbins, not understand
ing the reason for the change, held up
his train until he received assurance
from the tower that it was all right.
But the local had wrought the mischief,
and, as no fiagman had been sent back,
the Mansfield train came crashing into
the rear.
The force of the collision was so great
that the engine passed through the en-
tire coach Ambulances were quickly
summoned, but only four of the in

of the people of the Philippines. We
should have received from their graft
tude everything in the way of CONNER
cial advantage or advantage of mill
itary or naval station that their graft
tude could bestow. We should have
the glory-with which the glory of no
other country in history could be COM
pared-of being the great liberator in
both hemispheres.
Terrible mischief has already been
accomplished through the blunder of
last winters treaty. But it is not too
late to retrace our steps. Congress has
not yet committed itself to the policy
of imperialism. Still less are the Am
erican people so committed. 1t is not
too late to assure the people of the
Philippine islands that we will not
trample them under foot, or compel
them to obey us against their will; that
we will protect them against foreign
cupidity: that we will enable them to
restore order; that we will help them
in every way in our power to establish
for themselves such government as
they may desire; that thereafter our
relations to them should be only those
of friends and equals. If that were
done, peace could be restored in an
hour. Order and prosperity and hap
piness would prevail instead of war
and devastation. The flag of the I'm
itel States, which it is sought to make
the symbol of conquest and oppression,
would be as 1t has ever been till now a
symbol of liberty and of hope to all
the nations of the earth; withdrawn
only from territory over which 1t waves
without right, it would continue to
wave over that moral field over which
is its rightful supremacy, and from
which it should never be hauled down."

MIDDLESEx CLUB meet
| Question Whether or Not the Next
Speaker of the House Was Enter
tanned at the Dinner Saturday
Afternoon Careful Summary
of the Situation

Boston, Dec. 16-(Special political
correspondence. - The conundrum of
the day is whether the Middlesex club
did or not entertain the next speaker of
the House at it's dinner this afternoon.
1t certainly tried to do so.
On the left of President j. Q. A.
Bracket was ]. ]. Myers Of Cambridge
on his right was Frank P. Bennett of
Saugus. Near them sat Charles R.
Saunders of Boston and Silas D. Reed
of Taunton. In the party also were
Representatives Tatman and Munroe
of Worcester, Blood of Fitchburg and
Turtle of Pittsfield and Representa-
tive Simmons of Grafton. Willard
Rowland of Chelsea was also in the
company, and since the distressing
events of Thursday there has been a
turning to Rowland on the part of the
Myers men, it is said, in the hope that
when the deadlock comes, he can unlock
it and thus prevent the regrets which
would come should Myers fail to be
speaker and have to again claim the
judiciary craftsmanship, which appeals
so strongly to Mr. Rowland
Among those who were not there
were Carleton of Haverhill, Adams of
Melrose Dean of Brookline and Apsey
of Cambridge, the last three members
of the Myers caucus committee but
men who have been mentioned for
speaker particularly Dean, who has
had some reason to think himself the
heir to the Myers support, in case of a
break, until yesterday, when the How
land heirship got out Mr.. Patton of
Leominster, another Myers supporter,
with speakership leanings, was absent,
and so were Schofield of Maiden, the
logical anti-Myers candidate when the
tie comes, and Smith of Waltham.
Gov. Bracket called up the speaker
ship candidates in alphabetical order,
introducing as the first speaker Mr..
Bennett of Saugus. Mr.. Bennett made
substantially the same speech that he
delivered at the anti Myers conference
Thursday.
Mr.. Myers spoke at considerable
length. He defended his republicanism,
saying that he always voted the repub-
lican ticket He admitted afterward
in private conversation that he had
voted for Cleveland and for Gov. Rus
sell. He voted for the former because
of the impression which the Mulligan
letters made upon him, and for the lat
ter because he was friend and neigh
Dor. Mr.. Myers said he had discussed,
as was his right the policy of the adj
in the Philippines; but
since the signing of the treaty of peace
he had been firm supporter of Presi-

London, Dec. 17.-Beyond a partial
list and summary of the totals Of
the casualties in the Tugela River en-
gagement posted at about midnight,
the war office processes not to have
any news from the seat of war, while
the censorship evidently blocks other
channels of information.
Never within the range Of the long
est memory has Great Britain met with
three such military reverses in a sin
gle week; and hence it is not surpris-
ing that notes of anxiety should be
heard amid the general chorus of press
expressions of grim prophesy.
At the army and navy clubs, the gen
eral impression prevails that the check
is only temporary.
The government view is probably
voiced by the Rt. Hon. Walter Long,
president Of the board of agriculture,
who, speaking at Liverpool last even
ing, intimated that the cabinet com
mittee on national defense had consid-
cred the adyisability of utilizing the
militia and volunteers for service
abroad. He asserted that the govern
ment in no way attempted to interfere
with the generals in their military OPP
erations.
Mr. Long said he failed to see that
the necessity had arisen, but if it did
arise 100000 more troops would be sent
to South Africa.
Rt. Hon. H. H. Asquith, addressing
a liberal association at New Castle,
last night, said it was the universal
opinion Of all parties that the country
would sanction whatever accession was
needed to give the army irresistible
superiority.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Standard, commenting upon the Eng
1ish reverses, reiterates what has often
been heard here, namely, that Great
Britain is more hated on the continent
on account of her interference in behalf
of the United States when the latter
was at war with Spain, than for any
other recent cause. Why Count Won
Buelow should have gone out of his
way to indicate the possibility of Great
Britain's hostility and belittle the
friendship between her and Germany, is
an enigma yet unsolved by any British

authority A consensus of the best
opinion tendsto the belief that the Ger
man minister wished to offset Joseph
Chamberlain rash speech at Leices-
ter. Yet this seems a small excuse
for such language at this period, while
the suggestion that Count Won Buelow
spoke for purely political effect is dis
missed as being entirely uncharacter-

ing the reputation of being the first
statesman in Europe.
so far" says the Saturday Review,
referring to the war, 1--WE have been
able to answer each reverse by the po-
tent argument of another division, but
that cannot last forever"
Such an expression appearing in an
ultra conservative and optimistic pub
LEGATION, is significant
While General Buffers reverse was
an unexpected blow to the public that
had pinned it's faith to him, it would
appear that the original plan of cam
paign, If adhered to, would have given
better results, for the besieged towns
nave shown themselves quite capable
Of holding out. AS it is now, the Brit
iSh forces are split up, have been Sc
riously repulsed, are unable to coop
crate, and, at any rate, for the present
are unable to reach their detectives. Ii
was for this plan that the central adj
vance was sacrificed. Even the relief
of Ladysmith can scarcely have great
alleviating consequences to the cam
paign, as whole, unless it's moral eff
feet quiets the growing disaffection in
Cape Colony and disheartens the Beers
to more serious extent than their
other minor reverses have so far done.
But, however looked at, the British
position Is most unenviable, and there
is great cry for more troops. Lord
Londonderry urges the war office to
send out 100000 more men, saying
Conceive the effect on the empire if
Methuen is forced to surrender"
The ST. James Gazette caps this with
the intlmation that the treasury is
Withholding the funds necessary to send
out reiuforcements, adding:
IF this is so, even Lord Salisbury S
reluctance to sacrifice a colleague will
not serve to shield a minister who
stands between England and the res
toratior of her damaged superiority in
South Africa"
On the other hand, there are many
magnificent examples, through public
speeches and editorials, of the great
