which includes q vast indemnity and
slice of China on the coast, they
must be acting without the knowl-
edge of Secretary Hay. For the
head of the state department wants
neither slice nor silver His policy,
which should be known TO all men,
even including his own. subordinate
officials, is distinctly and irrevocably
hostile to territorial aggrandizement.
OF this we have the final and irrefuta-
bic proof in the admirable note which
he sent TO our ministers abroad aud
which they were commanded TO COM
municate to the foreign minis
tiers of the various governments
to which they were accredited.
Near the close of that document.
which, may truly be called epoch
making. it is said that one purpose of
the president is to aid in preventing
"a spread of the disorders to the
other provinces of the empire and a
recurrence of such disasters, and
then follows this paragraph:
81 1t is, of course, too early to fore
cast the means of attaining this last
result, but the policy of the United
States is to seek solution which
may. bring about permanent safety
and peace to China, preserve Chinese
territorial and administrative entity,
protect all rights guaranteed to
friendly powers by treaty and inter-
national law and safeguard for the
world the principle of equal and inn
perial trade with all parts of the Chi
nese empire
There is the whole policy in a nut
shell, and each term in it is as essen
tial as every other term When,
therefore. the secretary speaks of pre-
serving Chinese territorial entity he
has no thought of compromising on
slices In the first place he does
not believe that we should steal
portion anyway. and in the second
place he knows that if we did there
would be more slicing and still more
until the empire was carved to pieces.
Secretary Hay is much wiser than the
state department officials"
1t will be interesting to compare
the announced attitude of the admin
istration on this question with its an
nounced intention and real attitude
with reference to the obligations de-
volving upon the nation in connection
with the war over Cuba and the dis
position of and relations toward terri
tory coming to US as a prescribed con-
sequence of that war.
Suffice is it now to merely call at
tention to the fact that in his message
to congress relating to the war with
Spain, the president declared Il speak
not of forcible annexation, that can
not be thought of. That, by our code
of morality, would be criminal ag
gression." And that in a subsequent
message the same executive spoke his
convictions as to "our plain duty"
toward the Porto Ricans. The people
of this land who read unbiased histo-
ry know how steadfastly the president
has kept away from what ''by our
code of morality would be criminal
aggression" and how closely he has
adhered to "our plain duty" toward
Porto Rico.

Bni Mason.

What will Billy Mason do? On the
Moor of the senate he has declared
himself opposed to every act of the
republican administration. The only
thing the president has ever done for
him was to laugh at his stories. His
friends have been ignored in the dis
tribution of patronage and he has
been ridiculed and abused by every
hired man on the republican payroll.
Billy is good uatured and inclin ed to
be indolent. he may lind it too much
trouble to change his politics, but it
will be difficult for him TO make
speeches in favor of the Mckinley
policy in the coming campaign. which
are certain TO be compared with his
record in the United states senate.

THEY CURE-.-NO PAY.

The British Doctors AT No. 1909 Second
Avenue are Curing All Cases They
Treat Absolutely Free. They Ao-
cept No Pay Whatever. Not
Even when Cures are
Effected.
A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
stitute have. at the urgent solicitation
of a large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished permanent branch of the in
stitute in this city at No. 1902 Second
avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and Aug. l. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
ficted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before Aug. 1.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee
cure in every case they undertake. At
the first interview thorough exami-
nation is made, and, if incurable, you
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, varicocele. and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
