Enaorsers OF the Administration.

From the Detroit Free Press-)
This Administration has an Attorney General
whose ambition is TO please his very approved po-
litical masters, the President and party leaders.
When it developed that the section of the Army
Reorganization law abolishing post canteens was
very unsatisfactory 10 the military men, Mr..
Griggs by some mighty technical magic, trans
formed the closed canteen feature of the enact
ment into an open canteen provision, and the
frothy amber fluid flowed and gurgied at all the
military posts as afoTetime.
In regard to officeholders participating actively
and prominently in political campaigns this re-
sourceiul legal counselor of the Administration is
equally accommodating. We learn from a news
paper that is friendly to the Administration that
the duty of members Of the Cabinet 10 appear
upon the stump as strong -lunged spouters for
the present political regime. 10 recite its ex-
cellencies, and to appeal TO the electors TO keep
it in power Such an opinion furnishes a very
unseemly contrast with the sense of propriety
and dignity which has heretofore kept the high
officials of the Government at their posts through
out the partisan scerbities and excitements OF
the campaigns. But il is argued that the Presi-
dent is extremely anxious that the elections this
fall shall amount TO a strong endorsement of
his Administration, and the compliant Mr.. Griggs
is not the man to take any positive stand for de,
corum and decency upon the part of heads of de-
partments if their piihge into the campaign will
contribute to the realization Of the Presidents
hopes. What If the spectacle of partisan activity
is unworthy and humiliating, and what if the
example is de1noralizing if the much desired en-
dorsement Of Mr.. Mckinley is forthcoming2

Atkinson Pamphlets.
(From the indianapolis News.)

Mr.. Edward Atkinson is evidently chatting un-

He also seems TO be greatly impressed with the
value Of his literary performances, We suppose
there will be no objection to his sending his in
teresting pamphlets 10 the returned soldiers The
matter is one OF trivial importance, but we think
it would be well for the men who have been
so bravely fighting the country's battles in the
Philippines to realize that there are a few peo-
pie in the United States who have been exerting
their utmost influence 10 make the Philippine
campaign failure. some OF them having gone
even so far as to express the hope that the
American troops might be defeated. But we beg

Secretary of the Navy Long Satur-
day received cablegram from Admit
raj Watson informing him that the
entire province of Zamboanga, island
of Mindianao, had surrendered I'M
conditionally t. Commander Very OF
the Castine. The surrender was
made on the 18th instant. Admiral
Watson's dispatch follows:
'CAvITE, Nov. 26.
Secretary Navy, Washington:
November entire province Ram
boanga surrendered to Very, uncon-
ditional; delivery oil guns. Numer-
Gus local chiefs declare loyalty.
(Sipned) WATSON"
The information contained in Ad-
miral Watson's dispatch was received
by the president and his advisers
with unconcealed satisfaction. The
surrender OF the province Zamboanga
is regarded as the beginning Of the
end of the revolution in the island OF
Mindianao, and it is believed will be
hard blow to those who are still en-
deavoring to maintain the insurrec-
tion in the Island of Luzon.
On the 21st instant Admiral Wat
son cabled the navy department that
Commander Very had captured the
city of Zamboanga on the 10th. He
was aided by fifty natives and Moros,
and was holding the town pending
the arrival of endorsements from
Jolo. On the same day General Otis
informed the war department that he
had ordered two companies Of infan-
try to be sent to Zamboanga from
Jolo.
Zamboanga is the principal city OF
the island of Mindianao, which is the
second largest island of the Philip.
pine group. Adyices from Admiral
Watson indicate that the entire
southern half of the island, which
comprizes the island of Zamboanga,
has yielded to the American forces,
and acceeded to the authority Of the
United States.

summit. The work is at present pro-
crossing at the rate of five yards day
at each end. 1t is impossible to fore
tell the probable date of completion,
owing to the changing nature of the
strata, but when the two gangs Of
workmen meet in the middle they will
have completed the longest tunnel in
