The Blockade of Luxou-

The organization of a mosquito fleet in
the waters of LuZon ought to prove a
material aid to both army and navy in
the pacification of that island when active
campaigning begins in the autumn. Thus
far il has been only too apparent that
there was practically no blockade of the is
land, Dispatches passed 10 and fro between
AgIinaldo's headquarters and the junta in
Hong Kong and supplies were doubtless
transported with equal ease. The naval
vessels were too large to patrol the various
inlets effectively, and the small craft en-
pIoyed by the insurgents seemed TO have
little trouble in making the passage from
the mainland 10 the island and back again.
The gUnboats now assembled in an auxil-
larry fleet ought to be able to solve this
problem Their light drought will enable
them To penetrate farther inshore than the
cruisers Of the main fleet. There they can
land parties TO trace the fiIibusters to
their hiding places and perhaps discover
their storage houses. In any event it will
put the insurgents to far greater trouble
than ever before to maintain a line of COM
nUnicatiOn with Hong Kong or any other
mainland port.
The advantage of shutting Aguinaldo off
from the cables and the stOrehouses of the
continent will be twofoId. As a military
measure its benefit can not be overestimat-
ed IL is now known that the leader has
been forced from time TO time during the
spring to rely upon fOraging to supply his
troops. Gradually his high-handed methods
In thus conducting his campaign have alien
ated the sympathies of the native people.
There is no such absolute native faith in
the T0gal general as to warrant him in
banking perpetually upon the sympathies

Where 1. the Quid Pro Quos

There seems to be disposition on every
hand 10 wonder at the recent suggestion
that this government would be Wiling 10
settle the Alaskan boundary dispute on the
basis of a free port for Canada within the
American lines. One of the earliest impress
sions which the people received in the case
was that the United States was firmly con-
WINGED of the justice of Its claims and that
It did not intend to yield IN the least The
negotiations at London gave this impress
sion n f1rrner basis for IL was clearly shown
that the administration did not propose to
submit the matter of the provisional line
to arbitration. The prevalent belief on thls
side Is that England would greatly prefer
q speedy settlement of the dispute, but tnat
Canada is holding the mother country up
to the scratch of objection and Is insisting
upon an adjustment which will give her the
greatly desired access to the ocean at Lynn
Canal. For this government, therefore, TO
propose a solution at the expense of the
tariff laws, and perhaps to the jeopardy,
through the diplomatic astuteness of
which England is well known to be capable,
of the territorial claims themselves. Is
more or less startling to many conservative
citizens who lave learned to believe that
when the United States takes a position
based upon justice and equity it does not
recede from it, If charity is to dominate
the new diplomacy well and good The
free port would appropriately fall under
that designation. If. however. the affair is
to be conducted upon strictly selfish
basis-which is the only safe basis for in
ternatiOnal negotiations-the United States
should seek and secure something in ex
change for the very valuable privilege
which II is now proposed to extend gratui-
tously to Canada. There is as yet no men
ton of a ''quid pro quo The sole result to
this country of acceptance of the free port
solution by Canada is the restoration of
diplomatic calm. Is this result worth the
cost? The United States, to be on the safe
side. must adopt the attitude of a rightful
occupant. who objects to being dispossessed
by a squatter claimant. To be courte-
Gus in the discussion of the case with the
not requisite that the owner invite his op-
ponent to dinner, treat him a favored
guest, and then grant him the free use of
his front door through which to cart his
materials of trade. The land of the Alas
kan panhandle is of small value compared
with the water gate afforded by Lynn
Canal as means of access to the gold
fields What avails it, then. if the United
States retain title to this barren coast and
yield to the claimant colony the right to
traverse it? When the government obtains
the offer of some substantial recompense
for this great privilege the bargain will as
sumo more equitable aspect than il now
Possesses.

A Questionable Tribufe.

Despite the fact that light is dawning
upon the Chicago public intelligence to re-
veal the dangers of the overhead trolley
system and the advantages of the electric
conduit method. the Inter-Ocean of that
city continues in its work as organ for the
street railroad interests which are in the
control of the owner of that newspaper. 1t
IS fulfilling its function faithfully, but
scarcely convincingiy. It's latest Offering
to persuade the people that the trolley is
an unmitigated blessing Is a curiosity in its
way 1t is called Tribute to Trolley"

that the overhead system is today pre-
ferred in England as the most desirable
mode of electric propulsion. 1t is noto-

for Chicago TO look to England, just now
cropping out into the rapid transit field, for
guidance as to the merits of the various
systems.
The best-informed critics of the overhead
system have never denied the fact that it

undermined his claims to be the leader of
all the Filipinos, and If he is to be thrown
back upon his immediate surroundings for
maintenance 1t may be that the popular
innate of him will wane to the point of
positive distrust, leading to a cheerful ac-
ceptance of the American sovereignty by
the mass of the people. In one other par
ticular the blockade should weaken the in
surgent cause speedily and materially.
Aguinaldo depends in very large meas
ure upon his mainland sources of sup
ply for the ammunition which he uses
To surround Luzon with gunboats and to
prevent communication from island to con-
tnent will throw the leader back upon his

ammunition making facilities which he
now possesses, which would be of little use
in sharp campaign keeping him con-
stantly on the move. without powder he
would soon be forced to beg for terms.
Aside from this result of an effective
blockade, however, is the forceful factor
of shutting Aguinaldo off from his supply
of American encouragement, which has
hitherto proved to be his mainstay in the
rebellion he is conducting. 1t Is well known
that he keeps himself accurately posted as

the governments agents in Manila. He sees

They have fostered the belief that if the

By all means, therefore, as an act of true

the United States. Confine him to the

trolley can be run here and there about a
city, gridironing Its streets with useless
tracks for the sake of freezing out rivals.
1t has its uses. undoubtedly, the chief OF
which Is to supply rapid transit to far-away
suburban localities at low cost notwith-
standing the light travel. But there lies
its proper field, in the light of modern de-
velopments.
In view of the cheapness of the trolley 1t
logically follows the horse-or perhaps the
mule, according to the Inter-Ocean's cita-
ton of English instances-in the rapid
transit progression. The first step after
animal power is discarded used to be the
cable. That was before the trolley became
mechanical success. The cable, however,
is no longer to be considered. The advance
in municipal transportation culture may
therefore be thus stated: Horses, overhead
trolleys. cables, underground trolleys.
Eventually the storage battery or COM
pressed air may take place in this scheme
of progress but they are as yet uncer-
tain agencies and not to be considered.
When, therefore, an enlightened commu
nifty is directed for guidance to the exam
pie OF England in choosing her first substi-
tute for horse cars it needs to be reminded
that the old country is not a fair model in
this respect. Chicago cannot sincerely feel
battered by the suggestion that it can
learn how to catch the modern pace in
street railroading from the first toddlings
of the British cities and colonies. Refer
ences such as the following, taken from the
Inter-Oceans Tribute" should be of little
force in its appeal to the mind of an Ameri-
can citizen, accustomed to the best which
science can devise:
Kingston, Jamaica has recently changed
it's mule railway into an overhead electric
line. The route is twenty-five miles long.
The company has a franchise for thirty
years, for which it pays 4 per cent to the
government and paves its right Of way.
The fares vary from cents to u cents.
The latter charge is for a siX-mile ride.
Cars run every fifteen minutes. The COM
pany carries freight in addition to pas
SengerS."
Gradually the lesson is being learned by
the American municipalities that cheapness
is no recommendation in this matter. A
street railway which costs $4,000 mile
and is built to last for many years, and,
when built, reflects the highest stage Of
electrical science, is cheaper in the end
than one which costs $4,000 mile. dete-
riorates in few years, endangers life. de-
preciates property and is Anticipated before
it is completed.
