The peace treaty is debated behind
closed doors. but Senator Vests reso-
lutlons have given good opportunity for
the expression of opinion in the open
Senate. The gist of the proceedings
IN executive session habitually leak out,
and the country is not likely to lack for
information. Washington reports do
not indicate that all is contentmen, and
harmony among the annexationists.
The haste with which the adminisfra-
ton denied the authenticity of Senator
Forakers exposition of its policy. was
rather striking. Foraker surely repre-
scented somebody when he said that if
was not desired to keep the Philippines
indefinitely, and when he suggested
that preparations would be made 10,
setting the Tagals up in government
lor themselves. Foraker has na,,e,,

Of Indiana have been so overrun with
visitors in the interest of different can
didates for sheriff and law librarian
that they have been able to do little else
than listen to concentrations since
they took their places. This illustrates
one of the disagreeable features incl
dent to the system Of choosing Judges
by ballot. Their own offices being re-
garded as political they find it difficult
to keep out Of politics. Judges of Mas
sechusetts courts occupypositions Of ao-
solute independence. No one possessing
any sense of the fitness of things would
think of approaching them in connec-
ton with everyday politics. They at
tend strictly TO the business of the
courts, and Interruptions which seem
to be accepted almost as a matter OF
course in Indiana would not be toler-
ated here.

been presented to the legislature. Still.
the chances are that the general court
will not undertake to instruct Massa-

Already there is the appearance of an
attempt to boom Cuba as an enticing
field for hunting and fishing. Natural
ly, the most definite reports come from
the vicinity of Santiago, but these are
alluring enough to excite the imagin-
alton of sportsmen. The abundance of
fish was to be expected, but moreover.
the bushy shores are alive with snipe
quail and guinea fowl. The climate
is not so bad in the highlands of the
interior and no flight of romance is
needed to suggest that, before many
years, American 'sportsmen may be
flocking to Cuba, with much the same
enthusiasm that now carries them to
Maine and the provinces.

1t is rather startling to see a leading
pro-Spanish paper in Havana pra1sIng
the Cubans and calling for a union of
Cubans and Spanish residents for the
establishment of a native government
which shall make the continued
presence of an American army super
f1uous. Unity is exactly what most
Americans would most desire to see.
The only regret is that the realization
of this unification seems so remote.

Thus early in the session, it is made
clear that the city government thinkers

Some surprise has been expressed be-
cause the Kansas populists in framing
the railroad law which was rushed
through the last legislature, just before
adjournment. left the appointment Of
the judges OF the new court Of vista =
ton, which is to pass upon matters
affecting the railroads, to the incom-
ing republican governor. The explana-
tion seems to be that the popullst man
ayers became convinced that the law,
was unconstitutional, or, at least, inn
practicable, and that under no circum-
stances could it accomplish the desired
results. This being the case they were
willing to saddle the republican party
with part fthetresponsibility of fail
ure. The ways OF the Kansas populist
are past finding out, and his foollshness
usually reacts upon himself.

Mayor Quincy took the first chance

Now he is for the independence of the

1t was said that the nomination of
Joseph Fl. Choate TO the British en-
bassy was held back for time through
the influence of Whitelaw Reid, and
now that the die has been cast, the
world might prepare to see the New
York Tribune backcapping the admin
istration whenever opportunity offered
The warm and even enthusiastic praise
bestowed upon Mr. Choate by the
Tribune would seem TO dispose of this
prediction for the present at least.

Nelson Dingley had fully earned the
high place which he held in the estima-
ton of the people. Few public men
have been more highly esteemed, and
party lines set no bounds to his friend
ships, though he was a rigid partisan.
A thorough student of economic ques-
tions, Mr.. Dingley hal acquired a vast
fund of information, and he was one
of the hardest workers in either branch
of congress. He was not a snowy man.
but he was solid and substantial one.
and his service was of a high order.
He was in the best sense of the term
public servant, able and vigorous, al

him.

vents Resignation.

JOHANNESBURG, July 26.-A ru-
NOR is current here that the Raad at
first refused to accept President Kru-
gers resignation only by the Chair
man casting vote. Anyway, the cap
ital appears to be alarmed at the ap-
parent determination of the Volksraad
to cancel the monopoly, and has sub
nlitted to the Government proposals
fer the reduction of the prices Of dy-
Mantle and gelatine. These are ac-
compaDied, however, by certain stipu-
lations. one being that the reduction
shall be dependent on the annual sale
of 25d.00O cases.
The Volksraad adjourned the discus
sion Of these proposals.
It is stated that the Executive Coun-
ell at Pretoria has adopted the new
distribution proposal giving the Wit
water Rand Gold Fields ten members
in the Volksraad instead of four, and

OHIO AND NEWPORT.
The Two Transports Sailed at Mid
night for Manila. 2e'r

SAN FRANCISCO. July 27.-The
transports Ohio and Newport sailed at
midnight for Manila. carrying the Third
Battalion of the Nineteenth Infantry
and over 700 recruits. The soldiers OF
the Nineteenth reached the transport
dock about 6 o'clock.
Nine women nurses from the East
embarked on the Newport. They were
chosen by the Government because of
their experience. There were in addi-
ton four young women VINO had done
excellent service as nurses at the Pre-
sidio.
On board the Ohio vas Benjamin
Givens, private, of Company II, Fourth
United States Infantry manacled and
guarded to be returned 10 Manila for
trial upon the charge of ''desEtion in
the face of the enemy" the penalty for
which Is death. The young soldier has
been confined in the Presidio guard
house since last Friday. He was taken
there from the transport Indiana.
When taken before Colonel Freeman
at the Presidio to-day Givens stated
that he had not realized for week
after he deserted his post the enormity
of his offense He had been drinking
heavily, and in his half-crazed con-
dition went aboard the Indiana. Four
or five days out the First Sergeant
of his company, who was coming home
in charge of an insane soldier, saw him
and reported to the commanding Off
Ger. Givens was ordered into custody,
and as soon as the vessel arrived he
was sent to the Preside. Cabled or
ders from Manila directed that he be
sent back for court-martial.
Givens deserted from his company
when it was stationed at blockhouse
No. Z, mile and half north of Ma
nila The command was under fire
constantly from marauding bands. One
day in the latter part of May he went
to Manila, drank heavily and cast mill
tary obligations to the winds.

UNITED STATES SENATOR'S.
Proposition to Obviate an Amend
ment to the Constitution.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Stewart of Nevada said to-day that in
order to obviate the apparent necessity
of an amendment to the Constitution
to insure at all times a full representa-
tion of States in the United States Sem
ate, at the next session. of Congress he
would offer relief by legislation which
the Senator says may prove satisfac-
tory. He proposes that the following
paragraph be added at the end of sec
ton 10, title 2, chapter l of the Re-
vised Statutes:
eff on the third Tuesday after the
organization of the Legislature no per-
son has received such majority, then
on that day or any succeeding day the
person receiving the plurality of the
votes cast, a majority of all the mem
bers elected to both houses being pres
ent and voting, shall be declared elect
ed"
This, he believes. will meet the neces-
stiles of the case. and insure the cleo
tion of United States Senator in ev,
cry State at the time specified by law.
