An Old Acquaintance in London.

Agoncilio, who had a narrow escape from
drowning as his ship was cast ashore on
the English coast has reached London and
is talking to reporters. He is just the same
Agoncillo who raced back and forth be-
tween Manila, Washington and Paris
few months ago in a frantic effort to Sc
cure a recognition of the Filipino republic.
He is the same Tagal who issued gram
diloquent manifesto to the Department OF
State and finally contented himself with
having it inserted as an appendix to
speech by Representative Johnson of In
diana. He is likewise the same Agonc1Ho
who hobnobbed with members of the oppo-
stiOn, scheming to defeat the peace treaty,
and who is believed to have wired to
Aguinaldo advising an attack upon Manila,
and who fled from Washington an hour
after the news of the assault began to ar
rive. Some of his comments are interest
ing and must make curious reading for his
erstwhile friends in Washington. He says
he did not leave this city because of the
lighting at Manila, but in order to secure
better telegraphic service. He admits that
he was warned by an American official
that his life was in danger here. Who was
that American official?' The chatty little
Filipino says:
1.-The ratification of the treaty without
amendment was the result of an intrigue.
Politically it was "a reverse for the admin
istration.'
Happy Agoncilo, How easily he seems
to be satisfied. His great and good friends
with whom he was in consultation here,
who were warning him that his life was in
danger, who were padding the Congress
sional Record with his fulminations and
his alleged facts, who We're even perhaps
advising him how to advise Agunaldo, do
not now share his belief that the ratifica-
ton of the treaty was a defeat for the ad-
ministration. But of course that is a mat
ter of point of view. Agoncillo goes on TO
declare that the reports of American sue
cesses near Mania are absurd, that there
are six hundred American prisoners in the
hands of the FilipinOs He still sticks to
that pitiful old lie, which was thoroughly
exploded while he was spluttering in the
salt water off the Cornish coast. London
ought to be greatly entertained this spring.

The Eagle and Shamrock.

1t is announced that the new yacht now
being built to defend the Americas cup in
the international races next autumn will
be named the Eagle. truly appropriate
title for craft which is expected to up
hold the racing reputation of this country
and particularly at season when the eyes
of the world are upon the nation which
claims the king of birds as an emblem.
The Eagles opponent will be the Sham
rock, likewise typical of the nationality OF
the owner. II will be g. race royal. Fol-
lowing the America, the fleet craft which
went TO England and brought back the sill
Yer trophy which has never been taken
away, the yachts which have successfully
and successfully defended the cup have
been named the Magic, the Columbia the
Sappho the Madeline, the Mischief, the
Puritan. the Mayfower. the Volunteer, the
Vigilant and the Defender. Thus the Eagle
will be third of the list with distinctively
national name, the others being the Amer
lea and the Columbia. The Mayflower and
the Puritan were. of course, suggestive of
an historic episode closely associated with
the upgrowth of the nation. The other
names were merely fanciful remark
able degree of popular interest surrounds
these occasional international regattas.
Americans nave always admired the pluck
and the persistence with which English
men have sought to wrest back the famous
cup. Fortunes have been spent in the ag
gregate in this effort. AS much has, of
course, been expended on this side in de-
fensive construction. Barring a few un-
pleasant incidents the races have, as rule
helped to keep alive the spirit of friend
ship between the two nations, for on the
common ground of sport the Anglo-Ameri-
cans feel that they are in truth one and the
same people. The races this year will be
exceptional, in that they will embody the
new spirit of Sindiiness which the war has
engendered between the United States and
Great Britain, and it is therefore right that
the American yacht should be given a name
which will mean something. The American
eagle has never been beaten. His nautical
namesake is confidently expected to sus-
tain this proud record.

British yielding on some vital point. to
reach plane of agreement with Russia
for adj time as to the far east.
For what then becomes of the Russian
longing for an Indian opening? Is the czar
to surrender this project, which is even
dearer to the Russian heart than the ad-
vance upon China? 1t might, of course. be
barely possible that the far east situation
is to be adjusted on the basis of a con-
tinued Russian advance into China offset
by a Russian agreement to forever hold
hands off India. But that Is plainly absurd
in view of the steadfast reiteration of the
British purpose to hold open the Chinese
trade door. 1t is further discounted by the
news which just comes that Russian troops
are preparing to seize the Pamirs, the dis
puted territory between India's northern
boundary and the southern verge OF Rus
sia. The fact is that in any nego-
tiations on this question between Russia
and England looking to permanent ADJUST
ments Russia has all to gain and nothing
to lose and England has all to lose and
nothing to gain through a compromise.
Meanwhile the parliament Will unques-
tionabIy vote the increases in the naval
budget and the British program of arma-
ment will continue, despite fair assurances
of friendship and the preparations for the
cZar's peace party.

More ships for John Ruu

Two announcements from London come
'uSether just now with a curious force

FL grand and Russia over the Newchwans
4oah contract the two governments have
started the arrangement of a scheme by

nouncement is that the first lord of the

O1 commons estimates for an increased
program of naval construction involving
an advance of SlO,OO00VO over that of Iast
Year, explaining that it was found to be
necessary for defensive purposes in view
OF the notable increases in the naval
armament OF England's continental rivals
Mr- Goscnen's explanation sounds reason
able enough in ats own light, for it is obvi-
ously England's policy. as long as Russia
is possibility for disturbance in the far
east. to continue To strengthen every means
either of defense or offense against the
chance of Il conflict over China or perhaps
over India Not even would the cars dis

long as that project is still a theory and

Gle the demand for heavy naval Increases
with the announcement that a plan is he
ing devised to regulate the Anglo Russian
relations in the far east permanently
Those relations at the present time are the
only serious menace to the worlds peace
They are undeniably strained, even though
the crisis over the Newchwang loan may
have been successfully passed through
negotiation. The palpable purpose of Rus
sia to dominate China Is ample reason for
questioning whether 1t has really been
found to be possible, save on he asis of q

Party Divisions,

The Star on Thursday, in some ohserva-
tions on the divisions existing in the demo-
cratic party. expressed the opinion that a
general conference or caucus might be ad-
yisable for the framing of a policy to be
followed al the first session of the next
Congress. Several issues will have to be
dealt with, and the position the party takes
with regard to them will affect for better
or for worse the party'S chances of success
in the presidential race. If it is possible to
unite the party, that will be the best time
TO do it. If not. that will be the best time
to develop how n Ich wrangling. and about
what matters, continued divisions may be
expected to bring about.
This Is true in even greater degree of
the republican party. There are divisions
in that organization also, and it IS of the
highest Importance that their exact nature
and full extent be ascertained, because thai
party will be in the majority in both
branches of Congress and responsible for
legislation. 1t must walk warily If it is to
win at the presidential polls. No baking
or pranking will be in order. The party
must have a policy and that policy must be
supported, or the divisions then revealed
may appear again later and prove disas-
tTOus in the campaign.
First will come the Presidents message,
which will be in the nature of a keynote.
His recommendations as to currency reform
and the course to be pursued in the new
possessions. while not binding, of course,
upon the majority in Congress, must yet
command very serious attention. For this
reason. they will probably be very specific.
And they will of themselves in some meas
are commit the party. If the majority in
Congress indorses them by writing them
into legislation, that will mean thorough
union for the campaign. But even if it
should amend them. or reject them the
President as the party leader in the cam
paign will still be held for them IN the
press and on the stump.
As matters now stand. indeed, both par
ties would appear to be in need of every
unHylng influence in reach. The new is
sues, taking the form of presidential poll
Tics. are making some strange baIfelloWs,
and nobody can tell what a day may bring

Mr. Cnppons Prediction.

NJ Cannon of Illinois has never been
accounted a jingo. As a MEMBER vi INC
House he has devoted the greater part oi
his time to questions of domestic supplies,
and in that field he is recognized as an au-
thority. a free and direct rather than
snowy man. he has rendered the country
very substantial service, and his presence
at the head of the appropriations commit
tee has been in several Congresses, ana
will again be in the next. guaranty OF
liberal provision for the government anu
a barrier against jobs and piunder
But Mr. Cannon has not been narrowed
in his view of other questions by TINS
more particular study Of questions of sup
plies. He favOrs a liberal and progressive
policy in all matters, and he is witha1 the
right sort of an American He mas just
published an extended review of the appro-
priations made by the Fifty-fifth Congress,
and in concluding his remarks. while in
the main making no reference to the lu-
ture. he says with respect to the new pos
sessions:
But 1 venture the assertion and predic-
tion that the United States could not II
it would, and would not if it could, part
with the territories acquired from Spain
by the treaty of peace or shtrk ITS duties
and responsibilities touching them.
This rings true. There is no mlstaklnS
what it means and there is no resisting the
practical sense and the manly spirit en-
braced in the deliverance. There ought
to be no thought of a retreat in a matter
affecting the national dignity and respon-
sibility In the presence of accomplished
facts the old disputes should cease. And
the facts are that the United States has
acquired territories as the result of a sue
cessfuNy conducted war, and owes to them
and to itself a proper management of their
affairs.
Mr.. Cannon's prediction will be verified.
The United States will not shirk the work
which fortune has cut out for it. There
will be many difficulties to overcome; but
if they were a thOusandfold greater and
presented untried problems of every de-
scriptiOn it would still be the duty of the
government TO keep its face to the light
and press on. The signal for retreat would
be a national shame and invite universal
dpriSiOn.

A Proof of Friendshiu.
From the London Chronicle.

If Mr.. Kipling has not been one of the
great world voices, he has been a new voice
for England. The soldier, the sailor, the
yoyager on the seven seas, the Indian
peasant bending over his fields, the lonely
agent of British rule beat upon by the
have become living figures to many a STAY
at-home Briton since Mr.. Kipling began to
draw them with those strong flashing
strokes of the pen. This great service of
sympathy is today coming back to him in
the affectionate solicitude of the race of his
birth and Of his song.
Meanwhile nothing can be more touching
than the sympathy of the American people,
and no more striking proof exists of the
way in which the two nations have been
drawn together since the great Anglo
American movement which began in 1896
1t is the more striking because Mr.. Kiplng
has been the poet of the British empire
rather than of the British race
