Care for the Old Soldier,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In line with your correspondent, Col
Kniffon. allow me to add that now is the
time to lay flowers on the soldiers grave
while he lives.
1t appears by Mr.. Proctor's reply that
only such soldiers as may have been dis
charged for sickness or wounds are entitled
TO any benefits in civil service examination,
and at that must reach a grade of 65 per
cent. Now it is possible wounded and dis
abled soldiers of thirty-five years ago are
appearing before his commission, but
doubt there being a rush of them.
As it is. every man is a better man by
being self-supporting, and all the old SOL
diers of '61-65 asks is to be allowed TO earn
his living in government employ with
others who did not serve as soldiers. There
are plenty of employees today protected by
Mr.. Cleyeland's blanket order of classifica-
ton, who are more able to pass civil
service examination than many an old SOL
der seeking some appointment that he is
competent to fill.
The President is considering q modifica-
ton of the rules of the civil service, and it
is suggested that heads of departments be
allowed to appoint such old soldiers Cuba s
soldiers and Manila's Soldiers-as they may
find qualified to do the work they may
have for them.
Every head of a department knows best
the qualification of his employees and be-
fore it is too late let the President modify
the rules so that the old soldiers may get
some real benefit from assurances of good
will, gratitude, &c Give the boys a sure
enough preference, and not an imaginary
one. CHARLES CARTEP

WILL OF WALLACE c. ANDREWS.
Smithsonian Institution in Washing
ton a Passihie BenehciarX.


In the will of Wallace c. Andrews, who
was burned to death during the fire which
DESTROYED his house in New York last week,
provision is made that should the estate ex-
ceed 1865, 900 all the residue-after a stated
distribution shall have been made-shall be
used to found and conduct a school on what
is known as the Williams Farm, in Will
Ioughby, Lake county, Ohio. This school
is to furnish an elementary education for
girls between the ages Of ten and sixteen
years. The education Is to be of such a
kind as will train them to be Independent
and self-supporting.
If. owing to any legal tangle. this project
fails, the testator directs that the money is
to go to the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington for the foundation Of a school
on similar lines there.
One-tenth Of the endowment fund-if the
school be located on the Williams farm
is to be used for the site and buildings, the
remainder Is to be invested by the directors
and the income applied to running the in
stitution. Mr.. Andrews desired that there
should be five directors, including the gov
ernor Of Ohio, the congressman from the
district in which the school will stand, the
mayor Of Willoughby,s the treasurer of the
county and Gamaliel c. St John.
Mrs. Andrews having perished in the
same fire, it would seem as If the entire
residue Of the. estate, after the first $500, 600
had been divided among the relatives, as
indicated, and 900 additional has been
paid to his two sisters, can be devoted at
once to the charitable purpose selected by
the testator. 3

COMMENT ON SAMOAN NEWS.
English Papers Conservative in Tone
Regarding Latest Inctdeut.

LONDON, April 13.-The Daily News,
commenting editorially upon the latest news
from Samoa, says:
Ambush and mutilation of the dead are
the ordinary incidents of savage war
! fare and ought not to provoke any special
acts of reprisal The case, however, would
be seriously complicated If it could be
shown that the Germans actively aided or
counseled the enemy. Apart from that
there is nothing left to do but to keep cool
and to hurry the joint commission. The
American government is determined to re-
gard the matter with equanimity. The
American people have yet to be heard
from"
The Daily Telegraph says:
I'VE can derive a melancholy satisfaction
from the knowledge that, for the flrst time
since the war of independence, British and
American soldiers and sailors have fallen
side by side in battle. But even this is
poor consolation in comparison with the
complications which events have added TO
an intricate problem. Justice bids US re-
member that We are not yet in possession
of the German version, and Emperor Will
liam, who has displayed such anxiety to
bring about an adjustment of the difficult
ues will be most deeply concerned. In the
meantime let us hope that it will be the
disposition of all sides not to aggravate a
very serious situation
The Daily Chronicle says:
The question is whether, when one
power tries to overreach one or two others,
she can complain if she suffers a rebuff.
There can be no question that when local
1ntrigues lead to the sacrifice of white life
the central power must be held RESPONSE
bic. No doubt she will behave fairly
enough, but the danger is that it will take
very little, after the experience in the Phil
ippines, to blow up flame in the United
states which the German authorities will
give much to eXtinguish. AS for our placid
selves, 1t Is we'll to understand that We are
not going to undertake by a private agree
ment to nullify the principles of a decision
by majority of the special commission
The Daily Graphic, recalling numerous
occasions when Germany has hampered the
ciViilzlng work of other nations, urges
coo!ness in the pending investigation, and
suggests that the best way out of the COM
mission problem would be to appoint an ar
bitrator.
The Daily Mail, hitherto strong advo-
cate Of conciliating Germany, says: I'VE
are bound to admit that the German press
and officials are pushing matters rather far,
but we look to Emperor Williams moder-
atfng influence to prevent further trouble"
After alludfng to the fraternity of valor
between the English and Americans on the
battlefield the Daily Mail says that the
greatest need OF the situation is for cool
heads.

blood has been shed and that British and

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.
Imports From the u. s. of Cotton and
Kerosene Greatly Increase.


Consul Fowler sends to the State Depart
ment from Chefoo, China, under date of
February 6, 1899, newspaper containing
the memorandum of the British China AS
sociation and an account of the proceedings
of the American Association at its first
meeting
The president of the association, Mr.
Haskell, in a letter to the American-Asiatic
Association, printed copy of which is sent
by Consul Fowler, says that the Importance
of the China trade Is inadequately appre-
ciated by the mass of Americans. Imports
of cotton goods from the United States
have increased in the last ten years no less
than 121 per cent in quantity and 501a per
cent in value. and now represent 80 per
cent Of the total value of such fabrics i'm
ported into China OF this trade from So to
90 per cent finds Its consuming markets
through the northern ports Of Tientsin,
Niuchwang and Chefoo. or within the area
where recent operations Of European DOW
ers have been conducted. 1t Is to conserve
this trade that efforts Of the American As
ISOLATION will be directed. After cotton
fabrics, kerosene oil is the most important
article of export from the United States to
China. During the ten years from 1887 to
1897 exports increased from 1858, 900 gall
Ions to 4S,212, ,505 gallons. In other articles
of American origin, such as flour, lumber,
raw cotton. iron and steel, there is prom
iSing trade.
After referring to recent concessions to
foreign countries, which appear to menace
United States trade, the letter says:
The favored-natton clause in the treaties
between China and civilized powers insures
equal privileges to all. The claims to which
We have adverted are in direct contrayer-
tion OF the treaties, but China at this crit
ical 1uncture Is helpless either to protec.
herself or to effectively secure the observ-
ance of her treaty obligations"
