The House yesterday passed without

Iishiug the grade of Admiral of the Navy.
Ii now goes 10 the President for his sigma

why this cannot be done in ample season

The Queen Regent and the Treaty

1t is interesting now to ascertain what
has become of the pledge which was given
some weeks ago by the Queen Regent of
Spain that she would yield to the cortes the
right to ratify the treaty of peace, con-
ferred upon her by that instrument as
drawn in Paris. The announcement to this
effect was formally made and not denied.
1t was in connection with Sagasta's pro-
gram for the reassembling of the cortes
that the queen decided that inasmuch as
the right to cede crown territories could
be granted only by the Legislature 1t was
proper that the agreement with the United
States involving such cesson should be con-
firmed by the same body. Hence her sur
render of right which, on the face of the
record. belonged to her. If now. in view OF
the ministerial crisis. she withdraws this
REIMBURSEMENT and signs the treaty it will
become important to learn whether the ac-
ton can be accepted by the United States
as valid and sufficient. 1t would seem that
as far as this government Is concerned the
case may be judged solely on the face of
the returns. The treaty stipuiating that il
shall be ratified, for Spain, by the queen

1t Is announced and confirmed that Sem
ator Gray of Delaware is TO be appointed a
federal circuit judge shortly after the close
OF his term in Congress. This is a pleasing
assurance of the tendency of the time to
remove the bench from the range of parti-
sanship The republican President desires
to confer honor and position upon a man
of integrity and capacity who has Just
given his country valuable service at a
time Of need. 1t matters not whit that
this man is a democrat. His qualifications
for the post rise superior to any factional
or political considerations. The public in
terests are Wei served by his assignment
to duty on the bench, for which he has
prime capacities The President is to be
congratulated for having broken away from
party lines to honor a man who deserves

The New Move at Madrid.

Whether SpDor Sagasta's latest move mas
been inspired by the attitude OF the ah''-
expansiouists is a question. His nsht ioi
ratification Of the peace treaty had not APP
peared to be hopeless in the eyes OF OUT
siders He seemed to be making fair prog
ress But he suddenly throws up his hands
and asks the queen regent to relieve MIN OF
his office. He is not a faint-hearted man.
and at a distance this collapse is not easily
understood why should he not have Kept
his face to his foes at home and fought the
battle out?
If his intention was to add to the emoar-
rassTnents of the United States he has ms
Judged American sentiment and miscalcu-
lated the situation. The failure of the
treaty through anything like sharp prac-
tice would be certain TO injure Spain. Some
of the opposition to the treaty in this coun-
try sprang out of a feeling that We had
had too easy a time at Paris; that We had
gone to an extreme in our demands simply
because Of the help,essness of Spain. But
for this, it was alleged, we should not nave
demanded the Philippines.
There is no need TO argue this point. The
facts are that the Philippines were de-
manded and the commissioners of Spain
ceded them The United States is on the
ground and on the water there, and has
assumed all the responsibilities of flying
its flag in the islands. The movement in
this country to back out of those RESPONSE
biiities is not particularly strong. and II
would end at once under anything ike a
foreign threat Spain may not reasonably
hope in any circumstances for return OF
the islands. and no power will essay TO
take them by force
With the present treaty ratified by SPAIN
the question of the future of the Philip
pines will become exclusively an American
question, and on this question some sharp
divisions will appear. There are those who
would give to the archipelago independent
government at once. There are others who
favor its permanent retention by the United
States A very few would turn their backs
on the problem and let the islands and
their people go hang. But all of this grows
out of the feeling that the United States
may do as it pleases. Amy maneuvertng
having for its plain purpose foreign inter-
vention and direction in the premises would
bring all factions together in an assertion
OF American power.

Lord HerschelI's Death.

The sudden death of Lord HerscheH in
this city has bereaved England and aroused
the sincere sympathy of the people of this
country In the reawakened spirit of
friendship between the two nations such
calamitOus deaths, removing men of large

Lord Herschell was not able TO write into

Suished a member in no wise reflects uron
his capacity nor upon the sincerity of the

Dorsey FOuItz in journalism.

Dorsey Foultz is coming out of his hiding
place. which he has occupied for nearly two
years. 1t is becoming possible now that
ere long this distinguished individual, who
has given the police of Washington such a
run for their money, will be accorded the
privilege of a definite place of residence
and regular meals at the expense of the
community for a perhaps limited period.
Evidence of this trend of affairs is to be
had in the columns of today's issue of the
New York World. wherein appears the fol-
lowing as letter to the editor, under the
caption THE Power of the Press
To the Editor of the World:
Your paper is to be commended and con-
graduated for the valuable assistance you
gave the police department in the investi-
cation of the Adams poisoning case.
There is no doubt in my mind that your
suggestions contributed largely to the YER
dict arrived at by the coroner's jury. You
are even more to be commended for the
promptness with which you unraveled the
mysterious Regent Hotel death, when
everything seemed to be very thoroughly
tangled DORSEY FOULTZ.
Washington, D. c., February 2S.
1t may now be that the police of this city
will be able to secure from the World office
the original copy of the letter. 1t may
then be turned over to experts in chirogra-
ply and perhaps through their efforts some
secret can be wrested from the document
to indicate the whereabouts of the long
lost Dorsey. 1t may even be that 1t Will
enable the police to ascertain how he has
managed since his disappearance from the
local sphere, after his scientific homicidal
use of carving knife, to acquire the pol
ished education evidenced by the author Of
the Worlds note of commentator. 1t is
at any rate something to know that Dorsey
is now in Washington, even though he has
not given his street and number as a clue
to the police The World may content it
self, perhaps, in the shock of the discovery
of the identity of its admirer, with the
soothing realization that Washington's
fugitive negro criminals are entitled to con-
graduation on the score that they are not
exposed to the enterprise of its judico-
detective agency. Meanwhile its readers
will recall the sad fate of Col Refine w
Thenuz and reflect.

he Local Legislation.

As the session OF Congress approaches a
CLOSE the people OF the District anxi6usIy
watch the returns from the houses for
evidences Of progress toward the Iegis,a-
tive endctmeuts which the capital so
seriously needs. At present there is intense
interest concerning the fate of the propo-
siTiou TO provide site for the Washington
Public Library building which is TO be
erected by Mr.. Carnegie, The matter is
now in conference. with practical
assurance that no appropriation. whatever
may be its terms. can be passed through
the House at this time. even though aided
by the privilege Of a conference report.
The hope. therefore. Is that the conferees
VIII adjust the measure upon the lines of
the House enactment. which sets apart
Mount Vernon Square for this purpose. 1t
Is 10 be remembered that this site was the
original choice of the Senate District COM

itself OF Mr.. Carnegie's munificent offer of
a quarter of a million dollars for a build

TO an agreement between the houses There
are no insuperable obstacles in the way.
The institution has already demonstrated
its usefulness and its popularity. 1t is

pain that with building such as Is now
| in view. located as favorsbly as in Mount
Vernon Square, and sufficiently maintained,
the Washington Public Library will quickly
become one of the most useful and
fourishing institutions of its kind In the
country. This prospect justifies any degree
of effort which may be expended toward
| the accomplishment of the present purpose
of securing a place whereon to locate Mr..
Carnegies gift. 1t warrants the adoption
of the pending propositions to increase the
library's fJrce and to make reavailable
certain unused funds for the pay of EN-
ployes.
The river improvements are adequately
cared for in the river and harbor bill
through Senate amendments. The allow
ance for the Potomac itself is increased to
a proper figure, while a reasonable appro-
priation is proposed to permit start on
the improvement of the Anacostia for
which the residents of the District have
been so long and so anxiously waiting. 1t
is of the utmost Importance, therefore, to
the District that this bill should not fail
of enactment on account of the opposition
in the House to the Nicaragua canal
amendment.
The District appropriation bill itself is yet
in conference, having been re!egated to the
rear for final consideration although passed
by both houses early in the session. Nat
urally the most varied interests are aroused
by the probabilities as to the final outcome
of the conference. The issues between the
houses are many and affect several of the
most important phases of the local govern
ment- The increases of the Senate are
nearly all deserving of retention in the bill,
bringing 1t up to the figure which repre-
sents most accurately the real needs of the
capital.
The street railway legislation which is
now pending in the Senate contains some
items of first consequence. Certain exten-
sions are provided for which are urgently
required by the people. 1t would be most
unfortunate if through the corporate jeal-
Ousy which has thus far operated to pre-
vent action these bills should all fail of
passage.
There seems to he a prospect that the
omnibus street extension bill, with Its in
equitable provision for the division of the
expenses. will become law. Were it not
for the infracticn of the organic act which
this bill involves there would be general
local rejoicing over the outlook that certain
necessary highway improvements will thus
be brought to realization.
