Among other results of the Dreyfus scan-
dal in France, it is probable that the prac-
tice ON the part OF friendly nations, of
maintaining military attaches at-each 9TH
ers' capitals will be soon definitely aban-
doned. 1t is reported that such an under
standing has teen reached among some
Of the European powers. and that the
permanent withdrawal of the German mil
itary attache from Paris is the signal for
a new departure which governments gen
orally will be expected and perhaps in
vited to take. The exposures of the
trial at Rennes tended to create an i'm
preston that military attaches sometimes
may be little better than spies engaged in
corrupting the generals of the state to
which they are accredited. and for the
honor of every service it is desirable that
it should be removed.

pressure, the lead oozes forth in steady squirt,
forming solid wire which you take away in

so many thousand bullets dropping out below

STATUS OF MACRUM.
The Boers Fail to Recognize Certain
of His Ideas.

of His Ideas.
The Boer Government has entirely ig-
nored the representations Of the United
States, which amounts to a virtual pro-
test against the ruling that Mr.. Macrum,
the Consular Agent at Pretoria, is to rep
resent British prisoners in the Transvaal,
so far as the distribution among them of
money with which to purchase tobacco
and other things classed as delicacies are
concerned.
Although the representations Of this
Government were made several weeks
ago. the Transvaal authorities have not
taken the trouble to promise to give them
consideration. or even to acknowledge that
they had been received.
This act of ignoring the overtures Of a
neutral nation is naturally displeasing to
the United States Government and is test
ing its patience. but the Administration
is willing to be as considerate as possi-
BILE of the Beers. in the belief. it is said.
that they are not familiar with the dip
1omatic practices in such matters. The
ways of diplomacy are slow, but cases of
this character do not admit Of delay in
adjustment humanitarian object being
involved which should be attained quick
ly. as the comfort Of sick and wounded
men is in considerable measure depend
ent upon it.
The refusal Of the Beers to permit Mr.
Macrum to exercise charitable offices ccv-
ers the care of the sick and wounded rris
oners. whose sufferings would be made
less through being able to secure dainties
which the consul is willing to furnish.
The position of this Government is that
civilized nations have conceded the right
of the representation of a neutral nation
entrusted with the care of an enemy's in
terests In the territory Of the other nation
tual comforts as is in his power to i'm
prisoned soldiers Of the foreign nation
which he represents temporarily.
The SpaniardS permitted Mr.. Baker, the
British Consul at Santiago, to visit and
furnish delicacies to Constructor Hobson
and the Merrimac men when they were i'm
prisoned at Santiago.
It was contended by the Beers in refus-
ing to permit Mr.. Macrum to act. that
the care of the prisoners was a military
matter with which "a neutral nation had
nothing to do.
Stanley Hollis. the United States Consul
at Lourenco Marques, Portuguese South
Africa. who has been directed to take
charge of the Pretoria Consulate in the in
terim between the departure of Mr.. Ma
crum and the arrival OF Adelbert Hay, the
new American Consul there. has the repu-
tation of being a good fighter for the in
terest of his country. and he will not hesi-
tate, it is believed here. to vigorously press
the Transvaal authorities for reversal OF
their ruling. when the State Department
decides that the time has elapsed in which
an answer to its representations is necas-
sary, and so instructs Mr.. Hollis.

A Department of Commerce.

(FrOm the PhladeIphia Times)
There would be much TO be said in favor OF this
proposed department il assurance could be fur
nished that a man familiar with the problems
Of commerce and industry would always be placed
at its head. The commerce of the country is
making tremendous strides and it could doubtless
be further advanced by a wise administration Of
our consular system and proper revision and
administration Of our navigation laws. With
efficient business man OF the first rank to admin
lister such department it could be made OF
great service to our commercial and manufacture

ARREST OF A TRAINED NURSE.
Charged With the Death of n Male
Infant.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-The partial
ly roasted body of a male infant found in
a furnace in the cellar of boarding house.
1905 Spruce Street. last night. led to the
arrest of trained nurse who gave her
name as Mrs. Martha Scull. which name,
however. is thought to be fictitious, to-
gether with Annie Miller, young colored
servant, employed at the boarding house
of Mrs. C. Wilson, in whose house the
women lived and in which the body was
found.
The police are investigating the case and
it is possible that persons of high repute
may. be involved in disagreeable scandal
and that series of revolving crimes may
be proved to have been committed.
The evening times., 1899-12-15

The strangely impuden. conduct Of the
Boer authorities in Pretoria toward the
United States, in connection with our as
sumption of the duty Of looking after
British interests in the Transvaal during
the war, is giving some annoyance to our
State Department. If the Boer Republic
were a sovereign State with which we had
diplomatic relations. the matter would be
easier to handle. We might then sever
relations. withdraw our declaration Of neu-
trality and allow things injurious to the
offender, which We would not now permit.
But the Transvaal has never been regarded
as an independent country. and our only
representation within its boundaries has
been and is consular, which is merely COM
mercial. Nevertheless as We have empow-
cred our consul at Pretoria to exercise a
diplomatic function in the interests of that
humanity which is recognized as binding
by all civilized communities in state Of
war, Mr.. Krugers failure TO permit its ex-
ercise, and his indecent refusal even to ac-
knowledge Secretary Hays representa-
tions, may ultimately make it necessary
for us to withdraw our consuls, and to re-
gard the Beers as but little better than
outlaws.

Requisite. for statehood.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.)
Governor Otero's plea for statehood for New
Mexico will serve once more to emphasize the
fact that the older and bigger this Republic grows
the more cxacting will be the terms Of admission
for new States. 1t won't do to present statistics
of population; the test is also one Of intelligence
AID education. Territories the rim of more
settled STATES must approximate in political
pacity to those Ststes before they can share in

In communication to Congress yester-

fact that disbursements by the army and

Philippine Islands have been and will con-
tinue to be of great volume, silver coin be-

one or more banks or bankers in each OF

crs to give satisfactory security by depos-
iting United States bonds or otherwise.

The Saturday H.Ir-HoIiday.

There has been some disturbance in In
dianapolis over the closing of shops at
noon on Saturdays. This plan has only
recently been adopted, and while the clerks
and other employees of the shops like the
new arrangement. it is not so pleasing to
the farmers who have been in the habit
of coming to town on Saturday nights to
do their buying. Their complaints have
affected the merchants. who do not wish
to lose their country customers. and the
result is a lively discussion, in and out
Of the newspapers.
The outcome Of 1t all will probably be
that the half holiday will be continued, and
