THE ANSWER TO RuSSLA.

The answer Of the Powers to the Russian
proposal for the immediate evacuation Of
Picking is being made with due elaboration.
We call it the Russian proposal. because 1t did
originate with that country, and the United
States has merely exercised its good offices in
laying it before the other Powers for their con-
sideration-with less danger probably, of arous-
ing antagonism and with more likelihood of IN
BIASED judgment than If Russia herself had
communicated directly with the Powers. The
attitude OF this country, made known in the
memorandum of last week. is that withdrawal
at present is deemed unadvisable, provided
occupation by all the Powers can be maintained,
but that IT may be desirable in case one or
more Powers insist upon individual withdrawal.
In the last few days there has been much dis
cussiOn Of the matter, pro and contra, but until
the present no official declaration upon it
There now comes, however, a statement Of
the position and intentions of the German Gov
eminent It is that Germany is DESTROYS of
maintaining cordial relations with all the Pow
ers, and of acting IN harmony with them, but
that she considers 1t necessary for her forces to
remain at Picking. That seems to mean that
Germany will not withdraw. OF course Ger
many speaks for herself alone. But her decision
will doubtless have much weight with her two
partners in the Triple Alliance, and it will
scarcely be devoid of influence in Great Britain,
which is understood to deem it desirable that
all should remain at Picking until a settlement
is made with the Chinese Government. The
fact that Germany is Outspoken in favor of such
a course may not improbably lead to a general
declaration to that effect by all the European
Powers and by Japan.
In that case it is not beyond the range of
possibilities that the Russian Government, in
its sincere desire TO maintain the concert of
action, may be persuaded to defer to the unani-
nous judgment of the other Powers, and mod
ify its first determination, which appears to
have been taken without consultation with any
other Government 1t may seem to Russian
statesmen that united occupation of Picking
pending negotiations for a final settlement would
be better than such occupation by Germany
Great Britain, Japan and other Powers, with
Russia left out. True, there is the intimation
that if the other Powers adopt such course
Russia Will maintain her occupation of Man
churia- But Russia already occupies the lions
or the Bears-share Of Manchuria, along the
line Of the railway from Siberia to Port Arthur
and Dalny. 1t would scarcely suit her book
10 have the other Powers practically crowd her
out of Picking

MIR. CROKER GROWS ANGRY.

Considering that Mr. Coler is proclaimed
dead as a doornail" already, Mr.. Croker seems
TO have a good deal Of trouble mailing his coffin
down Every day he flattens him out COM
pletely and says that Is the end of 1t. and the
next day he appears full Of wrath and accusa-
tons, just as if he had a real live enemy to
contend with. If he is making his claims of
victory just to keep his own courage up, 1t
cannot be said that he has been particularly
successful; for his nervousness and vOlubility
reveal anything but the calm and intrepid spirit
which such stout claims ought to have cult
waited. If he is making them to scare off his
opponents they are more successful for
the Controllers friends seem to be determined
to fight to the end and make Mr. Croker win
his victory by votes rather than by bluffing.
1t is evident that Mr. Murphy does not APP
prove of Mr.. Crokers method, and as a true
friend he could not be expected to. He is right
in saying: 1T will only make friends for
Coler." When Mr.. Croker grows virtuous and
charges men with dishonesty in politics it is
generally counted to them for righteousness.
The boss who confessedly works for his own
pocket all the time does not so possess the con-
fidence of the people as to have any charges
he makes against tt" honesty of other men
believed without proof. Everybody knows
about the Ice Trust, the bonding business, the
freproofing business and Tammany's great sys-
tenn of blackmail. Everybody knows, too, how
Mr. Croker declared that Justice DAILY was
mot an honest man. when trying to meet the
Indignation aroused by his attempt to punish
just judge for refusing to prostitute the courts
to his service Everybody knows how he raked
up baseless charges against Frank Moss in his
attempt to divert that investigator from the
track Of his operations in working for his own
Ill 81 LID
Mr.. Coler indeed must have been a watchdog
inconveniently active to prevent Tammany
footing, since Mr. Croker grows more and more
angry at even the remote possibility of his be
ing nominated for Governor.
Mr.. Croker appears to be as reckless as he
is angry in making his charges. His repeated
statement about the price paid by Mr.. Coler
for City Trust Company stock IS denied not
merely by the Controller but by the president
of the trust company as we'll, while the owner
ship of the stock itself IS frankly avowed AS
perfectly proper and honest, as 1t apparently u.s.
Croker bonding company is also denied by Mr.
COler. If true, 1t should be capable of proof
If improved, in view of the specific denial it
must be regarded as one more of the fallacious
statements which the people have been ac
customed to expect from Mr.. Croker whenever
ment, as 1t seems to do with an increasing fire.

SENATOR wELL1NGToN's SECESSION.

Republican fortunes in Maryland seem some
how to have survived the shock Of Senator
George l.. Wellington's open enlistment In the
Bryan ranks. The eccentric Cumberland states
man had so often threatened to pull down
the pillars Of the temple in which his leadership
had been rudely disputed that when the crash
came, perhaps. Republican opinion had already
discounted the irreparabl eness of the disaster
Most Maryland Republicans In fact had come
to accept the prospect of losing the senior Sen
ator's guidance and countenance in local notifies
with undisturbed composure His activity as a
promoter Of discord had increased as his power
and usefulness as party manager had dimin-
ished. and the equivocal support he had given
Republican State candidates in two successive
campaigns had raised the question whether he
would really accomplish less mischief masking
as Republican or openly allying himself with
an opposition whose purposes he covertly sub
served. His appearance on the same platform
with Colonel Bryan ends long period of indie
cision and sullting, and whatever its effect on
the Presidential canvass may be, his speech of
Tuesday should be welcomed by Republicans
as dissipatng any lingering illusions as to his
real political purposes and hopes
Senator Wellington's career as political
leader has been one of continued frictions and
disappointments. He had been unfortunate
enough to conceive the idea that the Republican
victories won in Maryland In 1894 and 1895
were due solely to his personal generalship and
not at all TO influences quite beyond his cal
culatlon or control. Prompted by this mis-
taken conviction he developed both at Wash
ington and at home an Impotence of opposi-
ton which led him constantly into false and
needless entanglements. When in 1897 the
Republican State Convention at OceansCity dis
agreed with him about ordering new primary
election In the city of Baltimore he peevishly
resigned the Craftsmanship of the State Com
mittee and would take no part whatever In the
contest which followed to elect successor TO
Senator German Again, in 1890 when he
thought some affront had been put upon him

clared war on the Republican State ticket and

State. In the Senate, as In home politics, his

attitude for the last four years has been one
of doubtful friendliness TO Republican ano Ad-
ministration policies, and his announcement last
sprinq that he would not serve as delegate 10
the Republican National Convention only en-
phaszed the critical and hostile spirit In whlch
he had come to consider the interests and pol
icies of the party to which he owed his seh"-
torial seat.
What persuasive force Mr.. Wellington In his
new role will add to Colonel Bryan's Presl-
dental canvass may be judged by an extract
from the Cumberland speech Reviving the
absurd and ten times exploded charge OF an ex-
listing alliance between this country and Great
Britain, the senior Senator from Maryland de-
clared in his most ebullient manner:
charged in the Senate that there was Sc
cret alliance There cannot be a public one.
There cannot be a treaty. because the senate
must be consulted and must ratify sucn
treaty. but there was and there Is as between
the Administration, the executive power as IL
exists in its departments, and Her Majesty the
Queen OF Great Brtain's Government such an
alliance and I say to you tonight that
in my judgment President Mckinley is but the
pro-consul of the English Queen liz the manage
ment of American affairs.
1t is not surprising that this outburst of ex-
travagance should have drawn Kisses even from
the Senator's own friends and neighbors In the
audience. Neither John J. Lentz nor William
Sulzer nor Webster Davis has ever descended
to such depths of folly and effrontery. Colonel
Bryan is said to have felt little glum and
nervous over Mr. Wellington's "pro-consul"
bravado. Certainly if he wants to maintain at
least a show of seriousness in his "anti-impe-
rialism" canvass. he must pray to be delivered
from more Republican "seceders" of the Mary
land Senator's mental stamp.
