WASHINGTON. Sept. 1s.--Speciai Com
missioner Rockhili. who was sent to

special report on matters incident to the
existing complications in that country. IS
now on his way TO Picking. Mr.. Rockhill
has been at Shanghai for some days, pur-
suing hts line OF inquiry In that section Of

received at the navy department today
from Admiral Remey. the commissioner
left that place yesterday for Taku and
Picking
II he goes direct to Picking he should
reach there about the Same time as III
Hung Chang. who also has just left
Shanghai for the capital city. Aside from
this dispatch from the admiral there was
no news Of consequences from the repre-
seniatfves 81 the government In China.
Mr. Adee. the acting secretary OF state.
was at the department for some time dur
ing the day. but said tonight he had
nothing 10 make public. Condolences
from several foreign governments. ex-
pressing their regret over the Galveston
disaster were received. but these were
not given out. pending the presidents re-

by pointing out what actually has been
done.
THE minor places in their administra-
ton, where II is impossible TO al them by
natives, must be filed by the strictest
application of the merit system. II Is
very important that in our own home
administration the ministerial and admin
\ istrative Offices where the duties are en-
tirely nonpolitical. shall be filed aoso-
futely without reference to partisan afni-
ations: but this Is many times more I'M
portant in the newly acquired islands
The merit system Is. in its essence, as
democratic as our common school sys-
tenn. for it simply means equal chances
and fair play for all.
ut must he remembered always that
governing these islands in the interests OF
the inhabitants may not necessarily be
to govern them as the inhabitants at the
moment prefer.
Limit to self-Governme
ITO grant government to Luzon un-
der Aguinaldo would be like granting self
government to an Apache reservation un-
der some local chief; and this is no more
altered BY the fact that the Fili7inos
fought the Spaniards than II would be by
the fact that Apaches have long been
trained and employed in the United States
army and have rendered signal service
therein just as the Pawnees did, under
the administration Of President Grant;
Just as the Stockhridge Indians did In
the days Of Washington, and the friendly
tribes of the SIX Nations did in the days
of President Madison.
There are now in the United States
communities OF Indians which have adj
vanced so far that 1t has been possible
to embody them as a whole in our po-
lticai system. all the members of the
tribe becoming United States citizens.
There are other communities where the
bulk of the tribe are still too wild for n
are individuals among the Apaches, Paw
nees, Iroduois. Sioux and other tribes
who are now United States citizens, and
who are entitled TO stand. and do stand.
on an absolute equality with all our
citizens of pure white blood.
Men of Indian blood are now serving In
the army and navy and in congress, and
occupy high positions. both In the BUSH
ness and the political world. There Is
every reason why, as rapidly as an In
dian or any body of Indians, become At
for seif-government. he or 1t should be
granted the fullest equality with the
whites; but there would be no justifca-
tion whatever in treating this fact as a
reason for abandoning the wild tribes to
work out their own destruction. Exactly
the same reasoning applies in the case of
the Philippines To turn over the islands
to Aguinaido and his followers would
be to give self-government to the ISL
anders: under no circumstances would the
majority thus gain sef-government. They
would simply be put at the mercy of a
syndicate of Chinese half-breeds. under
whom corruption would flourish far more
freely than ever II fiourished under
Tweed. while tyrannical oppression would
obtain to degree only possible under
such an oligarchy. Yours truly,
