IF<the Gar of Russia is like us COM
mon mortals we wonder how he feels
in contemplating the results of the
widely advertised peace conference at
the Hague. This country permitted
itself to take some slight part in the
farce that was enacted there but no
one gave it serious attention. There
was good deal of talk of "brotherly
love- and ''stacking arms" and all that
sort of tommy-rot, but mono of the
participants meant or intended to make
more than a trifling bluff at disarma-
ment. The Hague conference was
never conceived in genuine desire to
make arbitration take precedence over
war, and the very man who originated
the scheme was all the time strength
ening his army and his navy, while
the> proposition was hnder considera-
tion. The United States kept right on
with it's little shindy and Great Britain
never for a moment checked up in her
arrangements for entering and SUBJ
jugating the Transvaal. The most
important event of the whole confer
ence was the adjournment.

PREsIpHNT MCKINLEY has q. had q
long interview with Admiral Dewey,
and it's announced that he will follow
up the suggestions made by the hero
of Manila Bay. 1t has not been given
out whae was the nature Of the admi-
raj al's;sugg gestions, but from what hap
pened before and after the interview it
smayabemwritten down as an absolutely
assured thing that the admiral didn't
advise the president to haul down the
flag and scoot for home; he isn't built
that way. In fact indications are that
he and the president are. built pretty
much on the same general plan. And
the compliment involved in thatsstate7
ment is not altogether one-sided either.
