GOLD SHIPMENT To EUROPE
Does Not Occasion Any Alarm in the
Financial World-Can Easily
he Spared.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Journal and
National City bank would ship s1,000,OOO
in gold to Europe on the steamship Lucania
was considerable of surprise in Wall
street. Although sterling exchange has
ruled rather high, it has been maintained
by bankers that there was little likelihood
of any gold exports at the present time.
That the shipment should be made by the
National City bank, which engineered the
payment of the Spanish indemnity of $780,
100000 without sending gold abroad UP to
the present time, kills to some extent the
force of any arguments witch may be used
upon the shipment.
Another view of the case taken by con-
servative men is that the United States is
producing $60,000,000 in gold annually and
now has on hand more of the precious metal
than any other country, and can easily afford
to send several millions to Europe.
Besides the demand for exchange to offset
the payment of the Spanish indemnity there
Eas been fair increase in the imports of
finished goods from Europe, which must be
paid for. This season of the year is, fur
thermore the period when large sums are
taken aboard by tourists. The exports of
food products also decline in the spring but
this year are very largely Offset by exports
of American manufactured goods
Europe has been buying back large guam
titles of our stocks. which were sold here

A QUESTION OFF CITIZENSHIP,

Recently the State department issued
circular to our diplomatic and con-
sular officials, in relation to the matter
of protection of residents of Cuba and
Porto Rico when within their jurisdic-
ton This circular emphasizes the fact
that Cuba is not under the sovereignty
of the United States. The people of
that island, it is pointed out to the dip
lomatic and consular officials, are en-
titled to the exercise of the good offices
of this government, but they are not to
be regarded as American citizens. Ma
tive inhabitants of Porto Rico are en-
titled to official protection as such, but
the officials are enjoined to be careful
that they shall not be regarded as citl-
zens of the United States.
1t is presumed to be the purpose of
these instructions to prevent any action
by our ambassadors or consuls that
might be deemed to force a recognition
of the status of Porto Rico in anticipa-
ton of action of congress defining it.
Cuba, of course, is simply under our
protection. In the peace negotiations
our government absolutely refused to
assume any obligation Of sovereignty as
to the island. The Cuban people are
merely wards, so to speak, entitled to
some consideration if abroad, but in no
sense as citizens of the United States.
1t would seem that the people of Porto
Rico hold closer relation to this coun-
try, since the island was ceded to the
United States by Spain and is under
our ereignty-recognized by all the
world as American territory-but it is
explained that it is still only a military
division and until congress shall place
the island on q different basis. making
it either territory or administering it
as a colony, its people cannot be re-
garded as American citizens, though
perhaps entitled to rather more protec-
| ton than the Cubans. The same prin-
| ciple will apply to the Filipinos. 1t is
an anomalous condition in an American
possession.

WAR MAY CONTINUE FOR YEARS
General King Takes n Gloomy View
of Situation in the
Philippines.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-Brigadier
General Charles King, who returned home
on the transport City of Puebla owing to
ill-health, in an interview says:
THE situation in the Philippines is most
serious. The people of those islands will
keep up a guerrilla warfare and there is
no telling when hostilities will cease. They
retire to the Businesses of the mountains
retreat when they are whipped and hide in
the iungles. Subsisting on practically moth
ing, they have no need of base of supplies.
/ 1t will necessitate a large force of men to
subjugate them completely. The war in the
Philippines is by no means ended. Their
entrenchments are works of military engi-
neerng and construction, equal to the best
that most civilized military nations have
produced. Under the Spanish regime the
Filipino learned something of war and we
are receiving evidence of this every day.
1.-THE volunteers who fought in the Phil
| ippines are a splendid lot Of men, capable
and accomplished fighters. They behaved
like veterans when under fire and there is
no limit to their courage. Their record in
that awful country will adorn pages of
American history recently made and yet un-
written"
! General King will remain in this city for
a few days and then leave for the east.

4 SIRE WINNER.

The decision of the Ohio republican
representatives to support Colonel Hen
derson for the speakership Is regarded
by General Grosvcnor Of that state as
assuring the success of the Iowa candi.
date. and it is certainly n most i'm
portant accession to his strength. The
Minnesota delegation has also declared
for Henderson and IT is expected that
the Indiana and Michigan republican
representatives will very soon do so
A Washington dispatch to the Philadcl-
phia Times says 1t has been ascertained
that the republican representatives of
the Pacific coast states will support the
Iowa man. "They are bitterly opposed
to Hopkins" says the dispatch, ''who is
trying to divide the western vote in the
interest of Sherman of New York. The
Pacific coast people are intensely in
terested in having canal by the
Nicaragua route. Hopkins was in the
chair when the committee of the whole
had under consideration the Nicara guam
canal amendment He ruled 1t out of
order The Pacific coast people will not
overlook that decision. They will not
vote for a man whose record is against
the canal" There is no doubt that
Hopkins is out of the race
AS we said few days ago the CON
test Is between Sherman and Henderson
and today the advantage is decidedly on
the side of the latter. The decision OF
the Ohio republican reDreSentatiy was
unlocked for, because that state was en-
pected to present candidate, hence 1t
will exert great influence. SO far as
appears Sherman is making no progress
and it is by no means certain that he
can command the full support Of the
republican representatives of his own
state, which has two other aspirants.
AS the situation now appears we are
strongly inclined to concur in the opin-
ion of General Grosvenor that Colonel
Henderson is "a sure winner"

LIMIT OF BRAVERY.
Detroit Free Press


Although he's not a hero, he has courage
without doubt
In times of war he's always at the front;
He stormed the hill at San Juan, and put
the foe to rout,
And gallantly he bore the battles brunt
He has travelled DER the regions of Alaska's
icy plains.
And he has safely passed through Afric's
burning sands:
He will never shirk a trial, no matter what
the pains,
SO long as it is duty that commands.
One day, while he was walking through
crowded street at home,
He stopped a frightened horses mad ca
reer;
Another time he saved life by risking of
his own,
For he doesn't know the meaning of "to
fear"
I say he's not hero, for he never has
gained fame,
Though he certainly deserves a laurel
wreath;
For the only time he ever quailed in any
kind of game,
Was when the dentist tried to fill his
teeth.

postoffces this year. which is made to take
effect on July l, will show a greater num-
Der of increases in salary than ever before.
The pay of postmasters below the highest
grade is determined by the amount Of busi-
ness done at their respective offices. con-
siderable elevation in grade, therefore, shows
marked increase in the use of the. mails
by the public. This is confirmed by figures
of the receipts of the department to date,
which show an increase of about SIS 900 900
from the average of recent years. There is
sure sign Of prosperity in all this. And

In re-establishing the Philippine courts
General Otis has done wisely in letting the
proceedings continue to be- as heretofore, in
the Spanish language, Notwithstanding the
efforts of newcomers to induce him to order
that the English language shall be used.
The Filipinos are accustomed to the Span
ish language, they do not understand
English and to hold court proceedings in an
unknown tongue would not only be a
travesty on Justice, but would increase the
distrust in which the natives now hold the
Americans, and which it is one of Otis
prime objects to remove. The American au-
thorities in Cuba have erred in trying to
change native manners and customs too
arbitrarily and the mistake should not be
repeated in the Philippines.

SEEKING FOR RECIPROCITY

New York.

NEW YORK, June 2.-Among the passen-
gers on the White Star liner Britannia,
which arrived here today, was Sir Cavendish
Boyle, X. G. M. G., and Sir r. |. and Lady
Musgrave. Sir Cavendish Boyle, who is
government secretary for British Guiana,
comes to this country to assist Reginald
Tower, charge daffaires of the British en-
bassy at Washington, in negotiating reci-
procity treaty through Commissioner Kas-
son, covering British Guiana.
Before his departure from London Sir
Cavendish Boyle conferred with the colonial
office authorities regarding the affairs of
this colony. In addition to the drafting of
a reciprocity treaty in the interest of
British Guiana, Mr.. Tower will endeavor to
secure a similar measure covering the
Barbados. These two proposed treaties
are quite apart from the one in the interest
of Jamaica, which will be negotiated for
by three delegates now on their way to the
United States.

THE OHIO REPUBLICANS.

The republicans of Ohio will enter
into this years campaign united and
harmonious and this means repub-
lican victory. Before the meeting of the
state convention the situation seemed
as unpromising as possible. There had
been developed a bitter and apparently
implacable factional conflict, which
arena of the hottest fight in the history
of Ohio politics and to project itself into
the campaign. 1t was conflict of state
leadership, involving no hostility to the
national administration. The several
candidates for the gubernatorlal NOM
ination all anhounced themselves
friendly to the administration and the
platform attests that President Nc
Kinley has the hearty support of the
republicans of his home state.
The party leaders without exception
met the eXigency in the true spirit OF
party loyalty and devotion. Senator
Foraker, who 1T had been feared might
prove disturbing influence, declared
that "the great duty of Ohio republicans
was to get together" Senator Hanna
made an appeal for harmony. Governor
Bushnell and others spoke in the same
vein and the convention responded with
enthusiasm. The spirit of faction was
quelled and the convention went about
its business in as orderly n way as II
no such spirit had ever existed.
nd, ,rn
George X. Nash, has been referred to as
the admitted candidate of the national
administration, but there is no reason
to think that the influence of the adj
ministration was eXerted in the slight,
est degree in his behalf. Judge Nash
has long been prominent figure in
Ohio politics. Four years ago he was
a candidate for the gubernatorial nomi
nation. He has spent a lifetime in the
public service and has so commanded
the respect of all factions that in the
heat of the most bitter nte-convention
campaign known in Ohio for years not
word of disrespect was uttered
concerning him. He Is man
of fine ability and of the
highest character, who has the respect
of the party and will undoubtedly com
mand its full support. The candidate
for lieutenant governor, ex-Congress
man Caldwell, is a strong man, particu
larly in the southern part of the state
In short, it is a good ticket and un
