Shared Rations wite Beers.

London, March 5.-Lord Roberts says
he was much gratified at finding the
enthusiasm among the Kimberley peo
pie regarding the care of the sick and
wounded. All the houses had beer
converted into hospitals and the men
had been made most comfortable. "It
delighted me to see our soldiers shar.
ing their rations and biscuits with the
Boer prisoners before they commenced
their march for Modder rider. Somt

General Otis Cables.

Washington, March 3.-General Otis
sends much news to the war depart
ment this week. He says that since
the recent opening to commerce of the
island ports 5000 tons of hemp and
70, 900 bales of tobacco had been re-
ceived at Manila and that large ship
ments of the commodities named will
soon be made to the United States and
other countries. Secretary Root says
that he is satisfied with the situation
in the Philippines. The officials are
confident that the backbone of the in
surrection is broken and that there
will be no further hostilities on large
scale, and that affairs in the archipela-
go will be in fairly good shape by the
time of the arrival of the Philippine
civil commission, about the middle of
May, for the proposed transfer of gov
ernment control from the military to
to the civil authorities.

American Cotton for China.

Ten years of railroad building
ought to bring at least half of China's
population within reach of our cotton
goods, and that, without any increase
in the per capita use of our cotton,
would amount to s2OO,OOO,O0O, or more
than the total surplus of cotton now
raised by us for export. China lies
largely in zone of severe winters. and
while it has the greatest deposits OF
coal, the Chinese have never yet solved
the problem of building heating stoves.
The introduction of cheap American
heaters into $4,000, 900 Chinese homes
is one of the possibilities which lie be-
bore our manufacturers.-Leslie's

The House In Doubt,

Representative rBabcock's talk to the
Pennsylvania republican leaders yesterday
In Philadelphia, a synopsis of which ap-
pears In tOday's Star reveals that there is
grave danger to the republicans of loss of
the House Of Representatives, even though
they re-elect President Mckinley.
Mr.. Babcock shows how difficult the sit
uation is for the republicans. With the
election laws and practices of the solid
south unsurmountable obstacle In that
rection, and with but few seats to gain
iii large portion of the north, the chance
t" make gains upon the opposition is re-
duced to small proportions. Owing to local
conditions 1t Is possible for the President
to carry New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio.
for example. by large majorities, while the
democrats elect in those states sufficient
number of representatives to wipe out the
republican margin. There is need of har-
mony and hard work. The Issues present
ed by the presidential contest apply with
equal force to the congressional campaign
Every man elected to the House should
represent the sentiment of his district upon
the chief questions of the time, expansion
and the currency. No district should shrink
from its responsibility by entertaining the
thought that its delegate. however he may
stand upon these two great issues, will be
governed In hts action by party leaders.
Without q majority those leaders can do
nothing. One vote in the House may stand
for the checkmating of the administration )
plans. That same vote may shake public
confidence in business stability

Fast Ships.

The race for ocean supremacy will never
be ended. Hard on the heels Of the news
thar the Deutschland beat the Kaiser VIII
helm der Crosse and incidentally smashed
the ocean records comes the announcement
that the North German Lloyd line, owning
the defeated ship has now under construc-
ton two steamers which are expected to
make the Deutschland lower the broom.
One of them tn, kron PrinZ Wilhelm, is to
be designed specifically for speed. and Is ex-
pected to make over twenty-four knots an
hour. If she can do this she will gain the
record, unless meanwhile the Deutschland
is limbered up to a greater speed than she
developed on her recent remarkable run. 1t
was said by passengers on that ship after
the voyage that had she been pressed she
would have made an even better run. This
however may not be true, and there Is
every chance that If the kron Prinz Will
helm meets the expectations Of the builders
she " i'll for time hold the record. Mean
while the English ship-owners are bewail-
ing the spectacle Of a race for the ocean
record exclusively between German lines.
They foresee material loss of traffic by
the British lines and they are urging that
steps be taken at once to put the English
boats once more in the van, where for
many years they held all records. To do
this the English shipbuilders will have to
overcome a great handicap. These flyers
are progressively developed. the makers
finding opportunities to do better work as
one vessel after another passes from their
hands. To overhaul the German grey
hounds now will necessitate the construc-
ton of a steamer capable OF at least 24h
| knots an hour, in order to provide against

Not one. Tarlmany win smile when il
thinks about the resolution, and under Mr..
Croker's direction support the ticket. It's
all In the play.
Why, therefore. for effect in one part of
the country may not Mr.. Bryan with safe
ty pronounce against measures which bring
him In so much in another part of the
country? Why, with his pockets stuffed
with electoral votes obtained by the sup
preston of the colored vote in the lower
southern states. may he not appear as the
stern cOndemner of such proceedings where
they are the subject of criticism? Why
should he not take leaf out of Mr.. Gro
ker's book and condemn himself? Would
such action win him any votes in the states
where the negroes are permitted to vote?
1t would have that object. Would 1t cost
him any votes in the states where the polls
are now closed to the negroes? Probably
but a very few. If he decides upon 1t he
will have to put his deliverance in diplo-
matte form. The southern people are ex-
rremey sensitive to criticism. But there
is nobody else for them to vote for. and
so Mr.. Bryan will get their votes what
ever may betide.
OF course it will all be in the play, but
the proposition that Mr.. Bryan make him
self the champion of menhood suffrage In
the United States. It is far and away
the broadest piece of humor of the cam
Daign.

Mr. welllnxton'. Itinerary.

Senator Wellington was registered In Chi
cagQ yesterday en- route to the northwest.
where he is billed to speak in several states
for Mr.. Bryan. His audiences at several
points are to be composed of German-Amer-
leans. and he Is to address them in the
German language. What sort of an arrange
ment is this? Why should this gentleman
be carted to distance and starred, when
there Is much hard work to be done right
at home?
Mr.. Wellington's claim to distinction is
derived from his Office. He is senator of
the United States from the state of Mary
land. He was elected as republican. He
has changed his coat-for this campaign at
least-and is now democrat. The fight for
Maryland is On. and it will be one of the
hottest of the campaign. Both sides are so
advised. and are exerting themselves ac-
cordingly. Why therefore is not Mr.. Wei
lington assigned to the stump among his
own people? Is it because he has ceased to
have any influence with them? And if this
is so, why should he be palmed off on the
people of the northwest as an important
cesson to the Bryan ranks? If he no longer
controls votes at home, why should he be
sent to influence the suffrages of strangers?
And why should Mr.. Wellington employ
the German language on his mission? In
the case of a man like Carl SchurZ. who
has a scholarly command of both English
and German. and who poses as distinctly
GermanAmerican statesman, one can UNI
derstand why he should occasionally drop
into German on the stump. But Mr.. We'll
tngton uses neither tongue with more than
everyday ease, and he has no especial hold
on the Germans. Men of German birth or
extraction who have heretofore trained with
him in Maryland have not followed him into
the Bryan camp. On the contrary, they
are active as ever on republican lines, and
a large German-American Mckinley club
has just been organized In Mr.. Wellingtcn's
home ward in Cumberland. If therefore
Mr.. Wellington has no influence In this
campaign with the German-Americans of
his own state why should he be palmed off
on the German-Americans of the northwest
as worthy to be their leader and instructor?
What gives him an Importance away from
home which he no longer enjoys at homer
Humbug Is writ large across Mr.. Yelling

Professor Starr of the Chicago University
says that people living on this continent
will in the course Of ages be SO wrought
upon by climatic and geographic influences
that they will revert to the aboriginal
type and become American Indians. This
is a pretty theory; but 1t probably does not
take into account the fact that people of
this era are not compelled to eat exclu-
sively what they raise on their own soil,
and that their associations are not circum-
scribed by crude facilities for travel. Rail-
ways and steamships are now bringing the
various nationalities into such close rela-
tionship that the probability of universal
and highly developed type seems stronger
ttan that of retrogression in separate 10

The President's Philippine Policy.
tha Eruu

Not only in his dealings with the civilized
and semi-civilized natives has the President
followed the established practice Of his
predecessors, but he has followed the de-
crees of the Congress In his dealings with
the Filipinos living under the tribal form
Of government. for he has instructed his
commissioners to recognize that govern
ment. just as we recognize the tribal gov
ernment of the Indians here at home, and
to permit 1t to continue while striving to
Introduce the ways of civilization among
the people. So completely in accordance
with American principle and American
precedent has been the Philippine policy of
the executive that when Congress decides
to provide for the permanent government
of the islands 1t will find itself obliged to
follow the track which has already been
beaten smooth for It.
