tsIven tho United states THAT the BRINK
Russian Agreement Does Not Aneet us. s
Washington, May S. Oficial assur-
ances have been given to our govern
ment that the agreement reached be-
tween Great Britain and Russia as to
spheres of influence in China concerns
on-y the two parties and that IN no
manner does it affect the interests of
tie United States.
The agreement does not amount TO
seizure of the lands in China defined
as being within either of the two
spheres and even should any territory
be acquired in them by either of the
parties to this agreement, the United
States, it has stated, will not be the
subject of any discrimination in COM
mercial or trade matters Such rights
as are now possessed in treaty ports
will continue to be enjoyed freely by
the United States. In view of the fact
that the recent agreement presented a
new and important feature through
the inclusion of the first time in the
territory subject to it Of cities that
have long been treaty ports this assur-
ance is regarded here as of the great
est value.

PHILIPPINES NEWS CENSORSHIP

We are informed that President Nc
Kinley looks hopefully on the Philip
pines situation. This is gratifying, but
we are told that the probable cause of
his hopefulness is the fact that he has
reassuring information from Gen. Otis
not yet given to the public.
The correspondent which sends this
news from Washington has a very
erroneous idea of the methods of the
Philippine press censor if he believes
any such thing.
1t is not the purpose of the news
censor at the other end of the cable to
send the bad news and keep back the
good, nor is that the purpose of the ad-
ministration in handling it's inside"
information. Not only is the very best
at once dished out to the press and en-
bellished as much as possible, but a
vast amount of good news is sent that
itsnt so. The public is heartily sick
OF this useless and unnecessary and I'M
American war of conquest of islands we
have no use for and of the loss of life,
already greater than the entire killed
in the Spanish war, and the admins
tration is especially careful at this time
CT public opinion, for the people are
becoming decidedly FESTIVE on the sub
iect. Hence, not only is no iota of
good news held back, but that which
is given out is greatly magnified and
padded to the limit. How often have
we been solemnly told that the situa-
ton was in the hands of our army
and that Aguinaldo was on the verge
of surrender, and how often has the
statement given out through official
channels proven without an iota of
foundation in fact.
The people do not know the lengths
to which this military press censorship
goes and they probably never will
know it until after the war is over.
1t is evidence that military despotism
is inseparable from a policy of foreign
conquest. For example. the st. Louis
Republic has been notified by staff cor
! respondents on the scene of action of
the arbitrary workings OF the system
of press censorship inaugurated there.

greater bodies of troops had to be hand
led under very much less favorable
circumstances. And yet, withal the
percentage of deaths from disease, ne
glect, starvation, or unfit and rotten
food over deaths in battle or from
woulds was TEN TIMES as great in
the Spanish war as in The mighty civil
conflict, which lasted four years of the
hardest campaigning in the history of

Need more than these primary facts
and comparisons be cited to prove the
utter incapacity and unftness of the
present War Department?
The organs of the administration
need not set store by the supposed for
getfulness of the people. The volun-
teers who escaped have not forgotten
nor have the loved ones of those who
were officially murdered in Ayers
peace camps, through the incompetence
of the administration appointees of
sons of somebodies. the miserable
bungling in the War Department from
start to finish, the lack of proper cloth
ing, proper food, proper attention to
the sick-one of the chief surgeons at
the largest camp of the war being
nothing but a horse doctor-to say
nothing of Ayers embalmed beef, by

1t will be some time before the peo-
pie forget these facts. No amount OF
whitewash can conceal them. Al
though it is generally understood that
another coat is about to be applied to
tie War Department in the report of
the latest court of inquiry on Gen.
Miles's charges, the people have heard
the testimony brought out before that
court and have long since made their
own verdict which nothing the court
can say will change.

pooH .pooHING THE WAR HORROR,

Relying upon the forgetfulness of the
people regarding the heartrending de-
tails of the camp horrors of the Span
lsh war-the work of theiving contrac-
tors, incompetent officers appointed by
the administration because of political
epull and of grossly unfit war depart
ment-the organs of Algerism are be-
ginning to pooh-hooh the whole bust
ness as merely "a natural incident of
war;" and they point in a general, airy
way to the greater per centage of total
deaths in the civil war to show that
the wholesale official murder of the
troops during the Spanish war was
nothing at all compared to that affair
of nearly four decades ago.
This sophistry is apparent to any one
who knows anything at all about the
subject. That the total percentage of
deaths was greater in the great civil
conflict is true. and it is also not dis
puted that a very great percentage of
deaths was from sickness in camp: but
while 1t is true that during the civil
war nearly twice as many soldiers died
Of disease as in battle or OF wounds.
how do those figures compare with the
mortality figures of the Spanish war.
which show that TEN TINES as many
OF our soldiers died in peace camps as
were killed in battle or died OF wounds,
But the Algerian organs carefully re-
frain from thus going into the grew
some particulars. which easily show
how false are their excuses for the
War Departments wholesale official
murder of our troops in the Spanish
war.
Another favorite argument of the
Algerian press is TO point out that
most OF our army in the Spanish war
were volunteers all unused to the
dread privations of war, coming as they
did right from the comforts OF home,
most OF them being unused to roughing

The act by which Gov. Pingree is
endeavoring to secure municipal owner
ship of street railways for Detroit, is
being tested in the Michigan Supreme
Court. There is scarcely any question,
however, of its constitutionality.
In view of the popularity of this prop
osition and that its general adoption
throughout the country seems only a
question of time. our own street rail-
way people would better be looking to
the future and making hay while the
sun shines.

of any more public utilities in Wheel
