A PROTEST FILED.
Institute for Blind Opposes Division
of Funds.

Institute for Blind Opposes Division
of Funds.
On behalf of the Columbia Polytechnic
Institute for the Blind. Messrs. John Joy
Edison, Myron NJ. Parker, 8. H. kauff-
mann. J. w. Bishchoff. ]. NJ. Wilson, Rev.
Richard P. Williams, E. Southland Parker
and other incorporators OF the institute
this afternoon filed with the District Com
missioners a protest against the granting
of the whole or any part of the appropria-
ton of 5000 made by Congress at its re-
cent session for the equipment of work
shops and for the instruction and employ
ment of the blind that would deprive the
institute of the means Of carrying into eff
feet the object and purpose of it's organ
iZation.
Application has, as heretofore stated in
The Star. been made to the Commissioners
by the Aid Association for the Blind for an
allotment to 1t of the whole or part of this
appropria ton, but 1t Is claimed by those in
terested In the Columbia Polytechnic Insti-
tute for the Blind that the appropriation
was really due to their efforts. and that to
deprive the institute of the whole or any
part of 1t would be not only unwise and
prejudicial to the cause of the blind but
most unjust to the friends and promoters
who secured its passage.

Seymour May BE n Prisoner.
Possibly the Japanese report that Sey-

believed here Seymour and his companions

Letter.
CHICAGO. June 26-Lady Curzon, writ
iIg to s d. Eldridge of the Chicago India
famine relief committee, says:
THE famine is greater in its intensity
over the areas affected than at any pre-
viously recorded visitation. Fewer persons
will die. yet incomparaby more persons
are suffering. The absolute failure of tn.
two last autumn and spring harvests and
the unprecedented loss of cattle in west
ern and central India makes the task of re-
cuperation more arduous than on any pre-
vious occasion. The government has re-
duced the rate of mortality. and even in
the worst districts the figures show only a
slight excess over the normal rate The
government has spent s26OO0.OOO upon d.
rect relief. S1O,UU.UD upon suspensions and
remissions Of land revenue S6.WO.oW upon
advances for the purchase of seed and cat

THROUGH ENGLISH EYES.

Those English newspapers which
deplore the defeat of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty in the United States senate
as victory of American jingoes
and AnGlophobes" make the mistake
common to a long-range study of the
national acts of other peoples. 1t was
necessary for Americans to view the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty through Amer
most good feeling toward our kins-
the st. Louis Republic puts it,,
nevertheless, maintain our own dis
tinctive policies and remain true to
certain principles upon which the
American government is founded.
The majority in the United States
senate did their duty as American
senators when they voted in favor of
what was best for this country
rather than in favor of what
was best for England. The Hay
Pauncefote treaty was, in effect,
notification of the Monroe doc
trine, the tendency toward which the
administration leaned in it's Philip
pine policy. II it had been ac-
cepted and ratified by the United
States senate the act would have con-
stituted surrender of American
principle full of the gravest danger to
the future OF this government. The
more closely the treaty was studied
the more plainly this ominous truth
became apparent. The vote in the
United States senate was an Ameri-
can vote, and is not to be regretted,
even though it contains a singing
rebuke to the Mckinley administra-
ton.
The London Daily Chronicle. in dis
cussing this action of the American
senate, declares that 1.-The good rela-
tions between the two countries must
of necessity be gravely menaced. :"
This is deplorable, if true, but it does
not convict the American senate of
wrong doing from the American view
point. If the only condition upon
which we can maintain good relations
with Great Britain be that of surren-
deriug our Americanism and shaping
our national policies as Great Britain
may dictate. we shall have to sacrifice
good relations with England and get
along as best we may without them,
as We have done before.
