LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
How the Prospect of Peace Is Viewed
by English Editors.

LONDON. April 29.-All the morning pa
pers contained editorials congratulating the
United States upon the prospect of peace
in the Philippines and complimenting the
bravery and endurance of the American
troops. which have produced the much de-
sired result. All insist that the United
States cannot treat with the rebel govern
ment. All approve the demand of General
Otis for an unconditional surrender and
urge that he should be given full powers
and not be hampered by Instructions from
Washington.
The Daily Mail says. General Otis has
to deal with Orfentals and his policy must
be directed accordingly"
The Morning Post, which emphasizes the
danger of treating with the rebels. says:
The way may be long. but the adoption of
a conciliatory policy is not the method best
suited to get 10 the end Of it,
The Standard says: The rebels prop
er objects for clemency, but they cannot be
dealt with as a political entity. No real
friend of the islanders would wish to see
working out their own destiny on lines of
pure autonomy"
The Daily News thinks native admins
tration under supreme American control,
and even a native army. fortified by
compact American garrison, would be the
best solution.

Looking for n ScapegOat.

w. @. Nicholas. in Chicago Post.
i find politicians of New York somewhat
confused over the speakership. They are
far from being unitedly in favor of Candi-
date Sherman, and Ii is becoming evident
that the East will be split up when it comes
TO choosing man for Speaker Reeds place.
The truth is that the House of Representa-
tives is afraid of itself. Speaker Reed has
spoiled it. He has been willing not only to
administer the rules in a parliamentary
sense, but also 10 stand as a scapegoat
for the towards. Ninety per cent. of the
members of Congress are towards. They
stand up and yell themselves black in the
face for appropriations that would ruin the
government, understanding full we'll they
will not receive recognition and understand
ing also that they can lay the blame on the
speaker. Mr. Reeds shoulders were broad
and he did not object TO taking the respon-
sibility. The desire of the members of the
present House will be TO find a who
will be willing and able to be scapegoat
In addition TO asserting the duties which
legitimately belong TO the speaker and who
will not become impatient under the harass-
ments incident thereto. The thick-skinned
man who comes nearest TO filling the bill
in that particular will have the largest
number of votes and the warmest support
regardless of other considerations or of
deep-Sea combinations.

ROBERT GOELET'S DEATH.
Sketch of the New Yorker Who Died
on His Yacht at Naples.

NAPLES. April 2s.-The body of Robert
Geolet, late of New York city, who died
here yesterday of dropsy on board Of his
steam yacht Nahma, will be left on the
vessel and be taken to the United States.
Robert Goeet was born in New York city
Sept. %. 1S41. Inheritng an inclination and
rare capacity for business he devoted
large part of his time and his energies TO
the care and development of the extensive
property interests left 10 himself and his
younger brother. Ogden, by his father and
uncle. Ogden Goelet died abroad about two
years ago. Robert studied under private tu-
tors in his youth and was graduated from
Columbia College in 1860. He subsequently
studied law and was admitted to the bar,
but his legal knowledge was only made use
of in the care of his large estate. Mr.. Goe-
let was regarded as an uncommonly saga
cious business man. Friends of the family
say that the policy pursued by Robert Goe-
let will doubtless be continued for some
time to come in the administration of his
affairs. No immediate division of his ex-
tensive estate, the value of which is va
riousy estimated at from 5000, 600 to $780,
100000. is anticipated
In 1879 Mr.. Goeet married Henrietta
Louise, daughter OF George Henry Warren,
ST., OF New 1Ork. Two CnllQren blessed
this union-Robert Walter Goeet and Beat
rice Goelet-both of whom living. Rob-
ert Goelets city residence was at 59l Fifth
avenue. He also owned and maintained
handsome establishments in Newport and
Tuxedo. Mr.. Goelet was very fond of mu-
sic. and did much TO promote its study and
to increase the public facilities for hearing
ii. He was one of the original stockholders
of the Metropolitan Opera House, and one
of the most earnest advocates of the re-
building Of that structure after IL had been
destroyed by fire Mr.. Goelet was also one
of the founders of the Metropolitan Club in
New York and was one of the financial pill
lars of that institution.
In a conservative way, Robert Goelet was
fond of sports He knew and appreciated
a good trotting horse, and derived much
pleasure from holding the ribbons over some
speedy animals. He was an enthusiastic
yachtsman, and took a healthful interest
in the various out-of-door sports which
from time to time engage the attention OF
fashionable society.
His steam yacht Nahma, which was with
him abroad. Is one of the finest vessels of
the kind ever built. II is a twfn-screw steam
er, 300 feet long, with a tonnage of 1,7S9.
This sumptu0us yacht was built at Glasgow.
from designs by G. l. Watson, and. with
its equipment and furnishings, is said TO
have cost about 100000 The Nahma Is
which was owned by Ogden Goelet, and
which was taken by the United States gov
eminent cruiser at the outbreak of the
with Spain.
