The President, we are told his morn
dng, has every confidence in General Otis
ability and discretion, and therefore the
General Is to retain his present position
at the head of affairs in the Philippines.
This Is very nice, indeed. and quite what
was TO be expected from Mr.. Mckinley.
Let Us see. The charges against Otis
are weakness and Incompetence as a Gem
erai. 1ndoience and inemieiency as an adj
administrator, jealousy Of his associates,
hostility to the navy, falsehood in delib-
erateay misrepresenting the situation in
his dispatches, and violation Of the rights
of the press and the public ia preventing
correspondents from sending
the truth to their papers. These charges

Russian Consul General
Causes the Arrest Of
Finnish Sailors Of
the Columbus.
REYObYED ON THE HIGH SEAS
Will Probably Be Sent to Kara
Mines-Application Based
on Treaty of 1882.


A most unusual case came up before
u. S. Commissioner Linsly Rowe this
morning. 1t was d complaint made by
Consul General w. Teplow of the Russian
Empire, against two Finnish sailors ana
a request that they be locked up Oh the
arrival of the ship Columbus in Jersey
City. and held until the ship sailed, When
they were to be put on board and
back to Russia for trial.
The Consul Generals request was based
on a provision in Article 3 of the Treaty
of n Navigation between the
Russian Empire and the United States,
which treaty was signed December u,
1872 in the new style, and December .
in the old style. as used in Russia.
From Captain Adolp Churchman'S story
told to Commissioner Rowe the ship Col
umbus took a crew at Kristenslad. Finn
land. and among them were two able
seamen. c. W. Kankanpaa and o. A. An
aersen. The Columbus, a full rugged ship.
Jeff for Pensacola, but in the Gulf Stream
she ran into a storm and sprang a leak.
Much time was spent at the pumps when
tedious occupation didn't please the two
sailors mentioned above, and they refused
to work. The captain threatened them
that he would put them in irons, and
they s~ullenly returned to their work. So
badly damaged was the Columbus that
her CAPTAIN deemed it wise to put back
into New York for repairs. The vessel ar
rived here last month and no sooner was
she anchored off Black Tom thar KAN
Il snpaa and Andersen asked the captain
to paysthem off.
$40" said Captain Durchman, 'you
signed for two years and you must stay
on this ship for that time"
ssThis is a free country, isn't it2'
sneered Andersen, land we'll do as we
like. Give us our money"
Again the captain refused. and the
men replied that they wouldn't work at
unloading the vessel. They went even so
far as to endeavor to spread mutiny
among the other sailors, telling them h
would go to the bottom before she reached
West Ha%rtlepool in England, to which
she was bound. Captain Durchman at
once went to the Consul General of Rus
STA, whose headquarters are In New
York City, and lodged a complaint, and
the result was the request to u. S. Com
missioner Rowe this morning.
A United States marshall was at once
sent to the vessel and arrested the men,
who were much surprised when they
were informed they must go to jail and
remain there until the ship sailed. They
begged to be released and they would
go to work, but the marshall shook his
head and marched them to the gloomy
building on the hill. The Columbus will
be ready in a week, when the men will be
placed on board and tried for mutiny
when they return to Russia. If con-
victed a term in the mines of Kara will
be their unenviable portion, for mutiny
on the high seas in all countries is treat
ed as a grave offense and punished Sc
yerely.

What Is Lentz Afraid Of?

The Republican press throughout the
State shows a tendency to spring to the
defense of Major Carl Lentz in his trou-
BILE with the Newark Lawyers Club,
without rhyme or reason. With hardly
an exception the party organs all declare
that the Major is u~njustly accused and
that the charges against him have been
c~oncocted by his political enemies for
the sole purpose of getting a dangerous
opponent out of the way. They therefore
advocate the dropping of the charges
and insist that no attention be paid to
them.
Well may Major Lentz pray to be de-
livered from his friends. for there is, or
should be, no mar in this State more
anxious to have these charges thoroughly
investigated and definitely disposed of
thar the Major himself. They Y been
hanging about him for several years and
on more than one occasion they have
dragged him down to defeat. When the
State fell into the hands of the Republic
cans. a few years ago, and the great
John William Griggs was chosen to dis
pense the patronage among the faithful
Major I.entz and his followers thought
and Justly. too, considering the valuable
services which he had rendered ms.
nartv-that he would come IN for an I'M
usually large and s~ucculent slice of the
ME. But. much to the surprise of all,
the Major was given only a small piece
Of the crust. and, when his friends COM
planned, they were told that it would
Y do to show the Major any TOO
much favor while some ugly charges
were hanging over his head.
So too. on several other occasions when
the Major was on the high road to politi-
cal nreferment, these same charges have
suddenly appeared in his path and sent
him sprawling in the dust.s 1t Wound
seem. therefore, that if they are as unjust
as Is claimed. he would do all in his
mower to have them investigated by a
competent tribunal and forever put to
rest. If, as the Major and his friends
maintain. he is perfectly innocent. NC
has nothing to ear from an inyestiga-
ton. on the contrary. it would excite
sympathy in his behalf. These organs
which are clamoring to have the matter
dropped are Joins the Major more harm
than good.

The Governor a Disturber.

THE Republican of~ice-holder who writes
alleged political news from this State TOT
the New York sPress." this morning
forcibIv brings TO mind Hamlet's young
lady who did too much protesting. The
ardent and persistent manner in which
he strives to show tina Governor Voor-
hees Is on the best of terms with all the
Republican leaders gives rise to the sus-
picion that a grand row is on in the party
of moral ideas.
It has long been known that Mr.. Voor-
hees' course. especially of late, has not
been enthusiastically endorsed by the
leaders. In fact ii is well known that one
or two of the greater directors of the
policy of the party have considered it their
duty TO demonstrate with the Governor
and have promptly been told to mind
their own business. It is also well known
that several of the leaders have washed
their hands of the Governor and have
declared that he a sail the craft on his
" course. and if it strikes rocks, he can
take the responsibility.
If any one who has heard these stories
may have had any doubt about their
truth. a perusal of the Pres mans
frantic protestations this morning will
remove all tina doubt.

HARMONY ONLY ON FACE
Officers Of Republican Com
mittee Say G. Q. ?.
Must Drift Back.

An officers of the Republican County
being in favor of clean politics, said last
evening that the work Of the Organiza-
ton Committee and its subcommittee
was simply time wasted.
"The members of the subcommittee"
said he, have gone about the county
e~ndeavoring to heal the differences exist
ing among the many factions. In some
cases success has apparently attended
their efforts. But the differences are
only settled on their face.
1.-THE internal difficulties nave not been
touched by these investigators and
when election comes around again. Q
will see the anti-ring factions opposing
the leaders just as vigorously as before.
This healing of old sores is all we'll
enough theoretically. but when you come
right down to cold hard work it will be
found that the efforts of the sub-com-
mittee have been of no avail.
ITO my mind, the only way to bring
the party back to it's old position is to
let it drift back. The same trouble has
disrupted more than one organization be-
fore. Time is the only remedy. This has
been demonstrated before. The reports
that the Organization Committee will sub
init to the County Committee ct its first
fail meeting will, I suppose, be accepted.
Can anyone tell me what good that will
do? vii these eports heal the differ
ences?
There are also a number. Of recon-
m~endations regarding primaries and en-
rollments, which the Organization Com
miftee will submit. These may be ac-
cepted, but not without a great deal Of
discussion on the part of the machine

The Reform School Scandals.

From articles in the Trenton papers, to.
day, it would appear that men have been
employed in aiding TO infiiet corporal pun
ishment npon grown girls at the Trenton
Reform School It is to be hoped that
every one connected with the outrage will
be indicted and severely punished.
Is we said, a day or two ago, corporal
punishment may be quite necessary, in
an institution OF this sort, but the inter-
vention Of men in its infection is an i'm
propriety as brutal as it is superfuous.
IN general we are opposed to hippo
dromic Investigations into institutions Of
this sort. They undermine discipline, give
the insubordinate confidence and weaken
the authority of the officials both in their
own and the inmates estimation. But
when so gross an improperly as is here
Indicated is revealed, sufficient inquiry
should be made to justify either a COM
piete denial of the reports or else the
summary removal Of all the responsible
officers.
xii may be necessary to maxi h dis

1t certainly should not be debasing. Com

It was a low vehicle. built after the style
of tandem looked more like a four
wheeled bicycle than anything else. It

mensand came from New York. The ma
chine drew up in front of Taylor,s Hotel

crowd. One of the young men inquired
the way to Newark from a b~ysteander

went around Hudson street to York and
started up the asphalt pavement at a
rapid rate.

VAN WORST PARK CONCERT
Third Open Air Entertainment
Last Night a Great
Success,

The third open air concert at Van Worst
Park last evening attracted a much larger
crowd than the two previous concerts,
and they certainly have become very
popular among people of this county.
The walks in the park, which lead from
all parts Of the four blocks that surround
the handsome park. were crowded from
the band stand in the centre of the park
to the small granite wall which extends.
all around to the sidewalk. Besides the
crowds that were eager to get near the
band stand there was a steady stream of
people continually walking around the.
outside of the park.
The stocos of the residents in the
neighbohood, as has been the case in the
two previous concerts, were rowde with
people, who had come from all over the
county to enjoy the excellent concert
given under the direction Of the popular
leader, Professor J. K. Holden. The
small wall thai surrounds the outside
part of the park was taken advantage of
by a good many, who used it as a rest
ing place to sit down. These were late
Corners, who could not get seats
either in the park or on the
stoops of the residents of the
neighborhood. The concert was all that
could be expected, and it seemed by the
hearty applause that followed each num-
Der rendered by the orchestra, Professor
Holden knows exactly what the people
want.
The programme was as follows
