The only real news item in the President
message is his announcement of the ap-
pointment Of Benjamin Harrison, Melville
w. Fuller, John w. Griggs and George
Gray as the American members of the In
ternational Arbitration Bureau The selec-
lions are exceptionally happy. All are dis
tinguished in the law. One is at the head OF
this countrys highest court and another
sits O.: an Important bench. One was once
President of the United States and Is now
one of the foremost counsellors in interna-
tional affairs. One is jus. concluding
most satisfactory term as Attorney General
of the United States. Indeed, the cOmbina-
ton Is beyond criticism. Politically an even
division theoretically exists, two members
being republicans and two democrats. al
though politics should have and doubtless
has had no influence in the selections. Geo.
graphically there Is curious coincidence,
two Of the members coming from adjacent
eastern states and two from adjacent mid
die western states. 1t Is assured that the
American members Of this high court of
arbitration will fully represent and MAIN
tain the American principles of honor and
justice and preserve the world prestige Of
the reDublic.

The Commissioners annual report, sub
mtted today, shows prosperous, progress
sive District. with certain requirements to
be met ir order to justify its rank as the
national capital and to provide for the
growing wants of a modern community.
The standing needs are strongly reiterated,
such as additions to the police and fire de-
partment, more public schools, legislation
for the burial of wires and the construction
of conduits and the formal extension of the
civil service law to the municipal govern
ment. Particular attention is directed
toward others, which, while of long stand
ing, are worthy of special considera ton.
These include the municipal building, the
completion of the sewerage plans, and the
enlargement and filtration of the water sup
ply. The Commissioners place these pro-
jects together with reference to the flnan-
cial questions involved and urge that pro-
vision be made for their execution by means
of a draft upon the revenues of the future
In other words, the Commissioners favor
the adoption of the principle Of bonding the
District either to private creditors or to
the federal government, to permit the pres
ent construction of works which will bene-
fit the Washington of the future, paying
the Districts share of the cost of these bet
II
later years from local taxes.
This is the most important recommended
ton in the entire report. 1t is briefly stated
but none the less forcefully. 1t will proba-
bly, precipitate discussion Of the best
method of executing these large public
works. Experience with annual appropria-
lions, subject to the whims of committees
and the fluctuations of policies, shows that
the most satisfactory method of obtaining
results particularly in large enterprises, is
to secure the funds at once and to pay them
back year by year as the revenues accumu-
late. The Commissioners offer an alterna
tive proposition for the government to adj
vance a sufficient sum to meet the Districts
share of the cost, or for the District to
raise its portion by a bond issue. The
former method has already been adopted in
certain instances of large public improve
ments.
There should be no demur at this PROPOSE
ton. The works projected are essential to
the preservation of the public health The
principle underlying the organic act is
strictly observed There is denial of the
need, and the only question arises as to
the mode of payment. Every consideration
of business prudence suggests the adoption
of one or the other Of the Commissioners
suggestions.
The Commissioners set forth the need of
the Improvement Of the Anacostia river in
strong language, basing, however, their
recommendation of improvement upon the
correct assumption that this enterprise lies
wholly within the jurisdiction Of the fed
eral government.

The Presidents treatment of the Chinese
crisis in his message affords a most inter-
esting and comprehensive review Of that
affair. The immediate points of interest in
this chapter of the message are the Presi-
dents declaration that the foreign war
ships fired upon the Taku forts only after
they were attacked from the forts when
they sought to land force; that the Chi
nese government fostered the Boxer move
ment: that that government participated iii
the assault Upon the legations, that it did
not succor the legations with contributions
OF food, beyond the mereSt trifles, and final
iy that the negotiations now in fair way
to succeed in re-est establishing peace with a
responsible Chinese government with the
open door of trade maintained.
There is but little discussion of the inter-
national negotiations with reference to the
process of treating with China. 1t Is to be
presumed that the President will, either
voluntarily upon a request from Con-
gress, later submit the entire correspondence
in this case should there be no diplomatic
reasons against full publicity. There are
some interesting features of the affair yet
to be fully disclosed, and an official pre-
sentation of such matters the original
German proposals, the final Anglo German
agreement anu tHt TeteHl4y ue
mands Of the allies remains to be made.
1t suffices for the present, however, that

plete settlement of all questions involved.
assuring foreign rights of residence and in
tercourse on terms Of equality for all the
world"
The President concurs in the Russian
suggestion that the indemnity question be
relegated to the arbitration court at The
Hague. He further notes that he has &C
cepted, as in full consonance with our own
desires. the Russian proposition looking to
the restoration Of the imperial power in
Pekin. for. without foregoing a jot Of our

effective reparation can best be brought
about under an authority which the Chinese
nation reverences and obeys. This is the
keynote of the American policy with re-
gard to China and all that the President
states in his message Is consistent with 1t.

With the American Congress and the
British parliament opening on the same
Gay there ought not to be any dearth Of
political news for some time to come. The
attention of the whole world, indeed, will
he more or less directed to the two bodies
while they remain in session. Each has
business of Importance to transact. Each
represents, though in not exactly the same
degree. a recent expression of the popular
will. and with reference to matters of
worldwide interest. and each, therefore
in the measures passed, will, at the very
least provide something worthy of discus
sion and certain to provoke discussion.

Salisbury's triumph at the polls was ex-

have given him majority large enough to
sustain him In the accomplishment Of his

benefits of local self-government, educa-
ton and Industrial and agricultural devel-
opment which this government stands ready
to give to the Filipinos.
The President recites his instructions to
the Taft commission and the features of its
preliminary report of August u. He states
that later reports show a yet more encour-
aging advance toward extending the bene-
fits Of liberty and good government to the
natives 'in the interest of humanity and
with the aim of building up an enduring,
self-supporting and self-administering COM
munity." These phrases indicate the nature
of the Presidents Philippines policy. There
Is nothing In 1t of imperialism" nothing
suggestive of denial of liberty. He spe-
officially impresses upon Congress hat what
ever legislation may be enacted should be
along these generous lines. He bespeaks
kindly treatment for the Fflipinos, whom
he styles "a race quick to learn and to
profit by knowledge"
This feature Of the message Is calculated
to further the work of establishing unques-
toned American sovereignty. 1t appeals
to the good sense ard the higher instincts
of the Filipinos. 1t assures them of kindly
treatment and progressive benefits. 1t

President Mckinley has entered into the
plans for the celebration of the capital cen
tennial with heartening approval and en-
enlargement. His aid and advice have been
freely at the disposal of the committees in
charge and it greatly helped in the perfec-
ton Of the program that he has at all times
been sympathetic and appreciative Of the
Importance Of the occasion. This spirit is
reflected in his comments upon the affair
in his annual message, which indicate the
national Importance Of the event. AS he
says, 1.-The transfer of the government to
this city is a fact Of great historical inter-
est and the President is in position to
know whereof he speaks when he says that
among the people there is feeling Of
genuine pride in the capital of the repub-
lie The formal statement of the program
indicates how fully this approaching cele-
bration has appealed to the interest of the
government and the people of the states.
