This morning the covered cutters at

the workmen were engaged in shovel

the street which emitted very un-

TO START THE NEW MAINE

The keel of the new battle ship Maine
the contractor for the construction OF
which was a few months ago awarded to
the Cramp Ship Building Company, will
in all probability be laid on February
18th.
This date will be the anniversary of the
explosion in Havana harbor of tho honor
ed war ship of that name, which explo-
sion resulted in the loss of 266 men of the
United States Navy.
Every endeavor has been put forward
by the officials of the Cramp company in
the preparation of charts and mechanical
drawings in order to crafty the desire to
celebrate the anniversary ofthe Maine eX
plosion by laying the keel for the new
vessel on the anniversary date. These
officials state that they now feel safe in
announcing that work on the Maine will
begin February Is, the laying of the keel
of vessel being considered the first work
in its construction in the same light as the
laying of the corner stone of a build

be made to have the new battle ship ready
to be launched on February Is, 1900, the
second anniversary of the Maine dsas-

RATIFICATION OF
THE TREATY

The senate Moeday, by vote of 5, to
81, bare twothirds majority, ratified the
treaty of peace with Spain, although the
ratification of treaty of peace with the
Filipinos, in the light Of recent develop
ments, would have been more appropri-
ate. Those courageous Senators who OPP
posed ratification of the treaty without
modification, desite the hysterical denun-
Citations of the imperialst press, ave enti-
tied to the gratitude of all who have the
welfare of their country at heart. These
Senators made a superb fight and stood
by their colors to the last. Although they
did not succeed in preventing the ratlica-
ton of the treaty they gained moral
victory the results of which will be of in
estimahle benefit in the future. In the
first place, they defeated the plan of the
administration for hasty ratification OF
the treaty without an adequate discus
sion of its provisions. Thanks to the an
ti-eXpansionists in the Senate, the country
now knows exactly what the treaty
means and what the cession by Spain to
the United States of its sovereignty in the
Philippines involves.
If the Senate now adopts the resolution
offered Monday by Mr.. McEnery, of
Louisiana, one Of the Senators who voted
for the treaty, the anti-eXpansionists will
gain something more than moral victory.
Mr. Mcfnerv's resolution provides that
by the ratification of the treaty'it is not
intended to incorporate the inhabitants OF
the Philippines into citizenship of the
United States, nor to permanently annex
the islands as an integral part of the
territory of the United States" On the
other hand. it declared to be the intention
of the United States 'to establish on the
islands government suited to the present
wants and conditions of the people of the
islands, to prepare them for self-govern
ment, and IN due time to make such dispo-
sition of the islands as will best promote
the interests of the United States and the
inhabitants of the islands," This is a
broader and more exact declaration of the
policy of this government than was con-
tanned in the Sullivan resolution, and il
it should be adopted it would open the
way for a solution of the problem which
might prove acceptabls to all concerned
But for the unfortunate collision at Ma
Mia on the eve of the vote on the treaty ii
is probable that ratification would not
have been secured Monday even by the
narrow majority which was recorded
The battle between the Filipinos and the
American forces undoubtedly precipitated
settlement, just as the destruction OF
the Maine in the harbor of Havana led tC
the war between the United States anC
Spain, which might otherwise never have
occurred. In raJiying the treaty, even
with such declaration of policy as that
proposed by Mr.. McEnery, the admins
tration Senators and their democratic
and populist allies have accepted a tire
nlendous responsibility, and it is to bt
hoped that future events NAV not cause
them to regret the course they have pur
sued-Ba iiR,Dre SHR.

CHARGES AGAINST
GEN. MILES

The commander-in chief of the army,
says the New York Times, will order
charges to be preferred against the general
commanding the army. A court martial
will be appointed to try him. If all goes
well, the findings and sentence, we sup
pose, will read something like this:
1--WE find Ma. Gen. Nelson A. Miles
guilty of having charged and proved by
the testimony of hundreds of officers that
the beef furnished by the commissary de
partment to the soldiers of the army at
Tampa and Santiago had been subjected
to treatment with chemicals, rendering il
unfit for food and dangerous to health
that much of this beef was either Shiny
rotten and nauseatihg, or stringy, taste
less and destitute of nutritive qualities
and that the men could not and would no,
eat it.
"These charges, sustained as they are by
abundant and convincing proofs, reflect III
the gravest manner upon the commander
in chief, who is responsible for the admin
istrative organization of the Department
of War. and are, therefore, annoying tc
the administration, and suhversivc of dis
cipline in the relations between the fight
ing end and the civil and political end u
the military establishment
I'VE accordingly find Maj. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles guilty of conduct unbecoming al
officer and a gentleman, and sentence hin
to be dismissed from the army"
If the President wants to bring thing:
to head between General Miles aud him
self, between himself and the people, ant
between the honor of the army and Algcr
ism, this is the snort way.

LET THE INQUIRY GO ON.

Under the above caption the Baltl-
more Sun" very pertinently says:
Now that the Eagan case Is finally
disposed Of hy the Presidents commu-
tallon OF Sentence to susp, nsiun iron
rank and duty for six years, the ad-
ministration should lose no time in
making an inquiry into the charges
made by General Miles against the
War Department. The General has
alleged that 'embalmed beef and worth
less canned beef were supplied to the
troops in the field during the war with
Spain. As he has made public reports
from a number of officers in Porto Rico
relating to the dangerous character of
this food it is incumbent upon the adj
ministration to investigate these
charges and fix the responsibility where
it properly belongs, in the event that
General Miles statements are substan-
tiated by the proof he offers to submit.
An inquiry conducted by a court which
the President could order to he con-
vened, composed of army officers who
enjoy the confidence not only of the
administration but Of the public as
well, could readily get at the facts. 1t
is said that the appointment of such a
court by the Presidents order would
be construed as a reflection upon Gen
eral Miles. The latter, under the cir
cumstances, would doubtless waive any
con liberation of that kind. if lie were
given fair opportunity to make good
the charges he has heretofore submitted
in an unofficial way. If the President
does not see fit to convene a court OF
inquiry, then, as has been suggested,
he could direct an investigation by a
board of inspection composed of army
officers. The method is immateriaI,
but it is absolutely essential that Gen
eral Miles should not be restricted in
any way in presenting all the facts
bearing upon his charges"
