(To be coutinued.)

EUROPEANS are watching with deepest
interest our course with the Sultan of
Turkey. The Sultan has been playing
the same game with US that he has success
fully played with the European powers for
centuries. We have had claims against
him for fragrant outrages upon missionaries
and destruction Of missionary property.
These claims aggregated over 100000,
butwere reduced to $500, 900, and then upon
promise Of immediate payment we agreed
to take 100000, accompanied by a frman
granting permission to rebuild the de-
stroyci buildings Of tho Euphrntes College.
This was 1G months ago, and yet neither
the money nor the firInan has been forth
coming. Now the Sultan denies that he
crer made the promise. This is great
effrontery, as three Of orr Ministers TO
Constantinople in succession have been
very explicit, and each Of them has en-,
countered the Same tergiyersation. In
1898 Minister Angel got so out Of patience
that he recommended that q warship be
sent to the custom house at Smyrna and
collect the amount due. Our present
Ninister-Hon. Oscar S. Strauss-is so
indignant, that he came to this country
and rendered his resignation, which would
be equivalent to cutting of diplomatic
communication with Turkey, and it has
been supposed that the State Department.
is at the point Of sending the Turkish
Minister his passports.
The Sultan has generally been able to
play this game with Europe because of the
always delicate and inf1ammable Eastern
Question has been in the way of any single
power acting on its own account, and a
concert of the powers is a thing talked of
a thousand times where it is accomplished
once. On the other hand, we do not care
a fig about the Eastern Question, and if we
choose to employ force, no one can charge
that we have any object behind professed
motive. There is no reason why the
Sultan may not be given a taste Of that
same "Ohio shirt-sleeve diplomacy" that
startled Spain and the European diplo,
mats. This is what the latter are rather
expecting, and it would not be well to dis-
appoint them.

KAISER WILHELM has his troubles, same
as other people. Some time ago he went to
Gonstantinople in great style, and there
Sas much said about establishing German
influence in the East on a solid foundation
German colonies were to be planted in Asia
Minor, and develop the country. The Sui
tan presented the Kaiser with certain lots of
land in Jerusalem, upon one of which the
Kaiser was to erect Roman Catholic
church, for which he received the thanks Of
the Pope. But the Kaiser is young in
diplomacy, and does not realize the power
Of Russian influence in Constantinople.
Russia has blocked the whole game. The
Sultan has issued orders to his Pashas to
prohibit any sales of land to foreigners in
Asia Minor, and he has 80 far withheld the
deeds to the lots in Jerusalem which he
presented to the Kaiser, and the church
building has TO wait.

IT is gratifying to know that there is no
doubt that Hon. John F. Morgan, Of Ala
bama, is to be returned to the Senate. OF
all the Senators sent from the South for the
last quarter of century, Senator Morgan
has shown the best disposition to occasion
ally forget the "Lost Cause" and the eternal
negro, and act in broadly patriotic way on
National questions. He has seemed to be
about the only one who has had perception
enough to understand that the South will
be benefited more than any other section By
the Nicaraguan Canal, and become an
earnest advocate of it. Generally, the
others have seemed to have no other ideas
than antiquated Calhounism and Bourbon
obstruction.

A VERY pretty question arises as TO the
ownership Of the Isle of Pines. This lies
off Cuba about 90 miles, has q length Of
go miles, breadth Of 55 miles, and con-
tains about half as rluch area as Rhode
Island. 1t has several remarkable noun.
tains, the highest about 1000 feet. The
soil is generally very fertile, and the climate
exceedingly mild and salubrious, though
it is plagued with mosketoes. It was once
a great pirate resort. 1t could support a
very dense population, but now has only
about 1000 people. It produces cattle,
tobacco. pine-apples, mahogany, cedar
and other valuable woods, sulphur, tur-
pentine, pitch, tar, marble Of fine quality,
rock crystals, and tortoise shells. The
treaty with Spain gave US all the Spanish
islands in the West Indies, except Cuba,
and the precedents are about equally
divided as to whether the island belongs
to Cuba or not. OF course, the Cubans
claim 1t.

THE PRESIDENT has appointed as
Assistant Secretary of the Interior, to sue
ceed Hon. Webster Davis, Comrade Frank
L. Campbell, Of Washington, d. G. He
was born So years ago in Hancock County,
W. Va, and served in the Union Army.
At the close of the war he became a school
teacher, and afterward became Superin-
tendent Of the public schools at Marlboro,
o., where he also studied law. In 1870 he
was appointed to the Census Bureau, and
later was transferred to the Pension Bureau
He was Special Examiner for two years,
member of Board of Review for four years,
and was then promoted to Board of Pension
Appeals, where he remained two years.
He was then promoted to the office of the
Assistant Attorney-General for the In
terror Department, where he has been for
10 years. He has been member of Lin
| coin Post, 3, Department OF the Potomac,
G. "A R., for 20 years, and is highly esteemed
as a comrade. He has been very faithful
and earnest in Grand Army work. Though
he has always been strong Republican,
his abilities were such as TO receive recog-
milton and promotion by Democratic Secre-
| tares Lamar, Villas, Smith and Francis.
1t is understood that Secretary Hitchcock
asked for his appointment, and that il
came as "A surprise to Mr.. Campbell.

SOMETIMES Evans acts as il he really
believed all this rot about pension at
torneys, enormous corruption fund for pen
sion agitation" etc. 1t is so impudent a
falsehood, throughout, that it is hard to
imagine any sensible man really believing
1t. The only other explanation is that
Evans has become possessed Of a common
form Of nonomania, where the victims
balance becomes so unsettled that he sees
in even lamp-posts and trees foes lying in
wait TO take his life. Thus Evans got up a
great pother in Tennessee about the "pen-
sion ring in Washington" sending its men
and money down there TO defeat him. This
Is in the highest degree absurd. II there is
such thing in Washington THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE does not know where il
Is, or who compose it, and it would greatly
surprise us TO learn that pension attorney
either in or out OF Washington has con-
tributed a dollar, either directly or in
directly, either TO promote legislation or tc
defeat Evans. All the pension ATTORNEYS
that we know are afraid of their lives to dc
anything against him, lest he find it out
and disbar them. He has them com.
pletely at his mercy and does not hesitate
to use his power whenever anything irri-
tates him. The only money that has beer
expended to promote pension legislation
has been that for the railroad fares and
hotel bills Of the Commander-in-Chief and
National Pension Committee in theil
visits to Washington. Some of this has
come out of the Headquarters fund of thc
Grand Army, but more of it out of the
pockets Of the Commander-in-Chief and
individual members Of the Pension Com
mittee.

ENGLAND, which is the only country in
the world besides ourselves which has not
been raising her sugar under her own flag,
is to try the experiment of raising sugar
beets. She has one advantage over us in
such culture, that she has very great
sumber of farmers who are familiar with
Che raising of root crops, and have carried
she art to high state. But she will have
difficult competition with the bounty-en-
couraged farmers of Germany and France.
What is still more important is that as soon

A CUBAN SENSATION,

A political perturbation was stirred up
last week by the statement in some papers
that the Army officers in Cuba were being
paid large sums out of the Cuban reve-
nues, in addition to their regular pay. 1t
was said that Gen. Wood, in addition to
his $500 a year as Major-Gencral, re-
ceived 81, 500 more from the Cuban funds,
besides an allowance of $1,000 for horses,
carriages, forage, ETC.; that Gen. Ludlow,
Governor of Havana, received S5 1000, and
several other officers similar amounts.
The matter was taken up in the Senate,
and after a three-hours' debate resolu-
ton was adopted calling on the Secretary
Of War for information. This is now be-
ing prepared. To the newspaper men Sec
retary Root said that more than year
before he entered Office it had been repre-
sented to Secretary Alger that the officers
assigned to administrative duty in Cuba
found that so many demands were made
upon them that they could not live and
support their families upon their salaries,
and an allowance was asked for from the
Cuban revenue to meet these extra eX-
penses. The Attorney-General was con-
suited and said that there was no legal
objection, and the allowance was made.
He could not recall the amount, but was
under the impression that it was about
$4,000 for four officers-the Governor
General, Gen. Ludlow, Governor Of Ha-
vana; Col. Bliss, Collector of the Port, and
Maj. Ladd, Treasurer of the Island.
A full report is being prepared for the
Senate, and we imagine that when it is
made it will be found that the allowances
have been proper and necessary. The
Spanish left the public and residence
buildings occupied by their officials in
frightful shape, and not tenable by any
body with American ideas of cleanliness
comfort and decency. 1t was to be ex-
pected that the officers whom we sent to
administer the affairs Of the island should
be decently housed, and that their offices
should be put in such shape as Offices are
III ILLS COuilIfys lHcIc HuSt OtleIW WISE
have been an immense number Of calls
upon their purses, such as would not have
occurred in the regular line of duty at
home, and it was only fair that these
should be paid out of the Cuban revenues,
and not the officers pockets. This has
been the custom whenever we have taken
possession OF other territory, though it
does not appear that the officers serving in
Puerto Rico have been paid anything but
their regular salaries. 1t is recalled that
similar allowances were made when Flor
ida and Louisiana were annexed, and that
when We took in California Gen. Bennett
Riley, who had acted as Civil Governor,
was paid $4,000 out OF California funds,
Lieut. II. W. Halleck received SIG, 900, and
Maj. E. r. S.Canby smaller sum.

g. AR, BILL TO BE REPORTED.

The long pondering Of the House Com
mittee on invalid Pensions over a general
pension bill came to an end last Friday, in
a decision to report the bill recommended by
the GAR. National Pension Committee.
This, known as Senate Bill 1477," was
prepared by Chairman Brown and the
Committee last Fall, after consultation
with the Commander-in-Chief. Itamended
the act Of June 27, 1890, so as to provide for
and direct an aggregation of disabilities,
and raised the widows limit to $3.50
Rather, it established this limit. There
was none in the original bill, but Com
missioner Raum decided that widow who
had an income not exceeding 5000 was
entitled to a pension. Commissioner
Lochren cut this down 10 SOC, and hisruling
was adopted by Commissioner Evans in
connection with all the rest of LOchrcn's
rulings and practices. While Evans pro
fessed to favor the raising Of the limit 10
$3.50, he, without notice to the Commander
in-Chief or Committee, succeeded in slip
ping iilO tlic Dill, Nllen IL was III sic IooLu
Of the Senate Committee on Pensions, the
words derived and derivable." The effect
Of this would be to allow the Commissioner
to reject a widows pension on the ground
that she had little unproductive property,
which if sold and the proceeds invested at
a high rate of interest, might yield her an
income of $3.50 year. The House Com
mittee has stricken this out, and provided
that the widow must have met income"
of $3.50, before she can be refused pension
on that ground.
The bill will be shortly reported TO the
House and passed.
We shall reserve further comments until
it comes up for passage.

Governor Steuenberg Objects to the
Method of Procedure.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February %.
When the Investigation of the Idaho
labor troubles was resumed to-day be-
fore the House committee on military
affairs, Chairman Hull stated that Gov.
Steunenberg, of Idaho, who is attend
ing the investigation, had protested
against the line of procedure which i'm
pugned the State officials. Mr.. Hull
said the Governor held that the testi-
mony in effect placed the State officials
on trial, and if that were the case they
were entitled to be present and to be
represented by counsel. The chairman
called on Gov. Steunenberg to make his
own statement. Representatives Lentz
and Hay, OF the committee, energetic
ally opposed this procedure and the
Governors statement was deferred.
Considerable feeling developed
among the members as the inquiry
proceeded. Mr. Lentz sought to intro
duce an affidavit seeking to show that
intimidation of a miner had been re-
sorted to by a representative of the
Governor of Idaho in order to gain per-
sonal ends. The committee refused to
admit the affidavit. Mr. Lentz then
gave notice that he would at the proper
time move that the affiant, A. S.
Balch, be called as witness. The
chairman stated that it would be nee
essary hereafter to hold sessions dur
ing the afternoon, while the House was
in session, and that he would request
permission to do so. Adjourned.
