AGAINST VENEZUELA.

The disappointment which prevails
among our people regarding the award
of the Venezuela board of arbitration is
quite natural. Yet. in principle. there
is very little in that award to occasion
americans either surprise or disappoint-
ment
The determination of this people to re-
s6nt, if necessary with force, any inter
ference by European powers with the po-
Etical or territorial integrity of any
American nation has, thanks to ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, been successfully assert
ed in the case of Venezuela Arbitration
was promptly submitted to by the Brit
ish government. Our sympathies would
naturally lead us to hope that the con-
tcntions of our Latin-American neighbor
would be sustained That they have
not been wholly sustained, but that
the award has been substantial victory
for England, shows nothing more than
that the substantial right was on the
side Of the British claims, and that the
arbitration board. in endeavoring to reach
a settlement of the sadly involved claims,
reached a conclusion which is a substan-
tial victory for England
Nor need the award have any discour-
aging effect OF the future of arbitration
as a means of settlement of international
disputes Submission to arbitration in
this case was an unwelcome necessity
with England AS in every other in
stance of her submission to peaceful ar
bitrament of her claims she felt herself
under compulsion. Otherwise the strong
arm of military and naval power would
have been invoked to maintain her con-
tentions, as it is being invoked in South
Africa.
There is enough In this award to con-
stltute a warning against this nation
easily foregoing its claims in the Alaska
dispute Assured that we are right
there, as we must be considering time
and circumstances, we should adhere 10
our position firmly England's example
of never yielding to aroltratoh except
when she has to is good enough ex-
ample for us in that case, involving, as
it does, claims palpably patched up as
the result of the recent gold discoveries
in that section Of the world.
Gold! That is the touchstone which
England has ever applied in determining
international justice. By virtue Of it she
wars in South Africa, arbitrates. in Ven
ezuela and negotiates in Alaska.

ADVERSE TO CAPT. CARTER.
Opinion of Attorney General Griggs
i'm Famous Case.

WASHINGTON, Oct 5-The opinion
Of Attorney General Griggs in the case
of Capt Oberlin M. Carter, of the army,
upon which the president approved the
finding of the 7eourt-martial, was made
public today.
After dismissing certain of the minor
charges as unproven, the attorney gen.
eral takes up the more serious ques-
lions involved, first considering the OBJ
lection that the charges upon which
Capt. Carter was found guilty were in
congruous. He said that unlike the
ordinary criminal procedure the military
usage and procedure permit of an in
definite number of offenses being charged
and adjudicated together in one and the
same proceeding. 'It is not necessary"
he says, ito discuss whether this prac-
t1ce is wise or whether it is prejudicial
to the rights of the accused 1t ap-
pears to be established by long continued
practice, and so far as I am able on
investigation, to discover, without pre-
vious challenger
The attorney general then shows by
an analysis of Capt. Carriers testimony
that in his dealings with his father-in-
law he rendered strict account to that
gentleman and that Carriers funds In
the Union Trust company were in ex-
cess of those of Mr.. Wescott during the
entire time that he had control of fhe
latter's affairs
The testimony" he adds, "does not
strike me as that of a man possessed of
a clear idea of the truth, and determined
to tell 1t, but rather clever evasion
OF one who IS endeavoring artifically to
account for the possession of moneys
derived from other sources

THE THIRTEENTH NO MORE.

Within the past day or two in the city
of San Francisco there passed out Of
existence a military body which during
its brief lifetime bore gallant testimony
to the valor Of Minnesota men and to
the devotion of our people to even the
most strenuous demands Of their Ameri-
can citizenship. The Thirteenth Mime
sofa regiment has passed into history.
Its achievements add another wreath to
the crown of heroic patriotism which her
sons have won for her in the brief ex-
istence of this commonwealth.
Starting from the place of muster with
the reputation of the best drilled and
most sodierly body of men among all
the regiments that assembled at the
Presidio the Thirteenth Minnesota
maintained its reputation for discipline
and bravery throughout the trying year
of its experience in and around Manila.
The fortunes of the men of the Thir>
teenth differed from that of their breth-
rem of the other volunteer regiments Of
the state in that they shared the honors
of actual war. First with the Span
iards-, and latter with the Filipinos, they
faced their enemy with all the decision
and GOODNESS of veterans. They endured
the heat and fatigue of two campaigns
in the tropics without murmur and wee
honored by being placed in the most re-
sponsibe and trying posts throughout
their experience. The hospital lists have
borne testimony to their heroism and
the men and officers of the other COM
mands have given them freely the palm
of superiority in all that arouses the adj
mration and respect Of the trained SOL
der
The record of the Thirteenth will not
bear comparison with the glorious
achievements of their gallant predec s
sors on the blood-sodden fields of the
South But the heroism which enabled
The First Minnesota infantry at tvs
burg to withstand the attack of the main
body OF the rebel hosts wanted but the
opportunity to find reproduction by the
young men who will within a few days
pass in review before the chief magis-
trate of the nation. Let US do honor
TO this body of brave patriots while we
may. Within a few years it's members
will be lost In the great army of peace
and industry. Their achievements siu
be to US q living memory. But in he
rapdity and stress of daily life it will
De but brief period before the veil of
forgetfulness will have fallen around
them, and their services in the Philip
pines be but little more than tradition
soon to take Its place in the pages of
written military history.

BISHOP POTTER,S VISIT

The announcement which has been
made through these columns that Bishop
Potter, Of New York, would visit this
city during the coming week will be re-
ceived by our people with much pleas
ure
Aside from his eminence in the ministry
of his church Bishop Potter has won for
himself general recognition as one of
the most conscientious students of sub
jects of social concern Fully in advance
of his time in his views of all questions
of current interest, mis- broad humanity
and liberality Of thought have endeared
him to all classes of society without re-
gard to differences of religion or social
rank
St Paul should extend very cordial
welcome to DR.. Potter We are rarely
called on to entertain so distinguished an
American. While the sphere Of his min
isterial activity has confined him to New
York city, and the scope of his
work for the religious and social
weil-being Of society Is best under

we have ali at one time or another found
occasion to regard Dr. Potter with re-
gard and admiration. There are thou

The Tribune cartoonist pictures McKin-

brace and viewing with apprehension the
vision of Admiral Dewey seated in the
presidential chair. Dewey himself con-
tinues to put aside the crown" be 1t
offered to him from whatever source it
may; but American moods and politics
are full of mutations, and it is not i'm
possible that the victor Of Manila may
be over-persuaded at the last When he
mixes with the American people and
finds an overwhelming sentiment in IA
vor of his assuming the role of a presi-
dental candidate; when it is pointed out
to him that every war that the United
States has had has produced president
evolved from a war hero and when It
is urged that the army heretofore has
been favored and that the navy has new
er had a chance, the flame of ambition
to signalize himself and the navy may be
kindled within him. His plea that he
has had no training in politics would
not be allowed to stand. Washington
had had no civil training to speak of,
practically his whole life, from his
youth up, having been spent in the pro-
fession of arms Andrew Jackson, it is
true, was a lawyer, but more Of
fighter, and Dewey has shown himself
to be well-versed In international law.
Zachary Taylor was simply a rough and
ready soldier Grant, up to the time of
his election to the presidency, had fis-
played no capacity save as a military
man. All his ventures in civil life had
proven failures. The fact is, that q
man needs no special training in states

principal qualifications needed are good

the speed that was in them.
COURSE KEPT CLEAR.
The efforts of Capt Evans and Lieut..
Commander Fremont to keep the course
clear with the government cutters ana
torpedo boats were again successful to-
day The same system which proved go
effective on Tuesday was In force today,
and the results were quite as effective.
The course, when once S1gnaled by the
committee boat, was Immediately cleared
and each boat had a fair field down the
line and all the space necessary for
maneuvering Directly after the start the
two patrol fleets formed in line, the cut
ters on the left and the torpedo boats
en- the right and everything was kept
in place. There was the same good ma
tured obedience to all instructions and
no captain needed a second warning.
When signaled to move out the entire
fleet at once obeyed and no naval squad
ron could have made a better maneuVer.
Capt Evans was obliged, however, to
fire a gun of warning about clock on
the left of the line, when an ambitious
captain showed signs of trespassing. This
was the only incident in the patrol serV
ice today that was out of the ordinary
run 1t is now a well-established fact
that this naval police system can Keep
fair course for both racers, and no eX-
cursio1 boat, W chit or tug ever pretendS
to put her nose inside the established
lines.
The system IS a nice one for visiting
yachtsmen from abroad, and receives the

idea of the national government recOgniz

James Harlan was born in Clarke coun-

tice of the court of commissioners of AL
ALBANIA claims, which position he held four
years. In 1893 he was called from retire
ment to act as temporary chairman of
the Republican state convention. AS such
officer he made a speech which had q
tremendous influence in checking the
threatened bolt of prohibition for practi-
cal local option. He was candidate for
the Republican nomination for governor
In 1895, but his age was against him.
He also served as a member Of the Iowa
soldiers and sailors monument commits

Race.

NEW YORK, Oct Sir Thomas Lilo.
ton and guests, on board the steam yacht
Erin, were very hopeful when anchors
were lifted and she left her ancorage at
Sandy Hook, the indications at that time
promising a fair wind. AS the day wore
on and it became certain that it would
| again be case of no race, they resigned
themselves to the Inevitable and formed
little groups about the decks and in the
cabin, where they discuss I'd the respect
i've merits of the yachts and deplored the
fact that there was no chance for a fair
test of their sailing qualities.
Richard Croker hung over the rail- ex-
changing views with first one and then
another of the distinguished foreigners,
while Thomas A. Edison chatted with
others. Sir Thomas and Admiral Beres-
ford soon came down from the bridge,
where they had been watching the prog
ress of the race. and mingled with those
who were enjoying the hospitality of the
Irish knight. Thus the day was passed
Until the signal announcing the abandon
ment of the race was given, and the Erin
pointed her nose homeward. On the wal
in the Erin passed the Columbia and tn
shamrock. and hailed both with rouA
ing three cheers and a tiger Then Sit
Thomas announced that, in his opinion,
the days work had proved nothing.
There was no chance" said he, Ito
obtain any further knowledge as to the
capabilities of either the Columbia or
Shamrock. 1t is still anybody's race and
was so all day. We must wait for
wind
Then he jestingly remarked that he
believed the whole thing was a yankee
trick to keep me over here" to which
a bys;ander retorted that any Yankee
trick" which would bring about that end
would gladly be resorted to. Sir Tmohas
thanked him and added:
'In having Mr.. Edison aboard the Erin
[ feel that we have the greatest man in

me that this is literally the first days

NO REASON WHY.

The outcome of yesterdays contest for
the international yachting prize sustains
the contention of the G o b e that no
good reason has as yet been shown why
the Columbia should not win the series
of races without difficulty.
Nothing in either contest thus far shows
any pronounced superiority on the part
of the Shamrock. Neither in light wealth
er nor in a stiff breeze has that vessel
demonstrated any such superiority as
has been claimed for her. Certainly there
is nothing in yesterdays race which can
offer justification of the high hopes with
which the people of England are regard
ing the final result.
There really has been no test worth
talking about of the sea-going qualities
of the two vessels. The rules of the
contest show that the successful boat
has to display the highest staying powers
in the stiffest breeze. The fact that the
Shamrock has shown some more ability
to make progress with a cupful Of wind
is of no account Races such as are on
now between these vessels are not won
in a cupful, or several cupfuls, of wind.
In every event the contest is certain
to be an exciting one. The shipbuilding
art ought to have reached the highest
degree of perfection in England, If 1t
has not, since England is the water car
rier of the world. She does our foreign
carrying for us, as we'll as her own, and
her shipyards are busy when all others
are idle. She rules the sea today for
purposes of peace and war alike. But
when the contest of seamanship and ship
building which is now on is finished
she will probably learn that her youth
fui rival on the water has not forgotten
the trick of naval architecture or Of sea-
manship, even though it's flag has been
for many years a stranger in foreign
ports.
