ANOTHER TRIAL OF THE T4RIAG.

philadelphia, Sept 29.-The Russian cruiser
Variag left Cramps shipyard to-day for her final
trial trip off the Delaware Capes. On board were
Captain vladimir Behr. her future commander.
and Edwin s. Cramp, who will superintend the
trial. Some weeks ago the Variag on trial run
sustained an accident her machinery, which.
while il did interfere with her making the re
Ouired speed of twenty-three knots, rendered II
necessary for another trial to fulfil the contract
stipulations. The Russian Government requires
a continuous run for twelve hours at twenty-three
knots an hour The will be twelve miles out
to sea from the Delaware Capes, and the run Will
probably be made Monday.

GOLD SHIPMENTS.

Shipments of gold to Europe are re-
ported every day or two in the New York
papers, but they do not excite much COM
ment. There is so much gold in the coun-
try that the outflow of a few millions a
week does not cause nervousness in Wall
street nor anxiety in the United States
treasury. Some gold has been shipped 10
Europe this week, and 1t ds expected that
for the next two or three months a con-
siderable amount will be sent abroad.
The number of American visitors to the
Paris Exposition will be large. Bankers
estimate that the number will be suffi
GENTLY large to require about $0,00a00)
more gold 10 meet their wants than is us
ually spent by summer visitors to Europe.
In an article published In the New York
Evening Post there is statement that 1t
was estimated in 1889 by the director of
the mint that 10000 American visited the
Paris Exposition that year. and that they
spent $92, III, $50. The country is far rich
er now than it was then, and it is safe to
say that the amount that will be spant ia
seeing the Paris Exposition this year will
be much larger.
The gold that will go abroad to Ameri-
cans sightseeing will not have

.nrMpoarANr DECISION.

II is the impression that the adminlstra-
ton Is trying to prevent decision OF the
question as TO whether Porto Rico is
American territory or not. Some weeks
ago the New York Herald imported Por-
10 Rican, named Jorg Cruz, for the pur-
pose OF testing this question. He was
imported under contract. OF. course, II he
was an American citizen the contract
labor law was not violated If he was not,
then that law was violated. The govern
ment has thus far avoided the issu.
presented by Calming that Jo-g Cruz 10
neither an alien nor citizen, but per-
son whose status has not yet been deter
mined BY Congress.
In our dispatches yesterday there was
an account OF a case involving the status
OF Porto Rican, which has just been de-
cided by United States Judge Lochren, at
st. Paul, MINI. In this case Rafael Or
tiz applied for release from United
States prison, on the ground that he had
been convicted by military court In Por-
TO Rico, and that being an American cit
izen his convi.tion was unlawful, te-
cause he was emitted to a trial by jury.
His application was denied fer the rea-
son that at the time he committed the
crime and was convicted the island of
Porto Rico was IN a state OF war, 1t being
the period just before the ratification of
the treaty of peace. The Judge leila that
according 10 the 6eci ions of the Supreme
Court OF the United States, a military
commission has no right to try civilian
In United States Territory in time Of peace,
and he said that he considered Porto Rico
territory of the United States and sub
ject to the constitution the minute it came
under the control OF the government. He
took the ground thai unless the constitu-
ton extended to Porto Rico in advance Of
the action of Congress, that body would
have no authority 10 legislate for the is
land, because it has authority to legislate
only for territory covered BY the consti-
tuition
Is this decision good law? If it Is, then
some interesting questions are likely to
arise in connection with the recent Porto
Rican legislation. 1t would seem as if
the government would take steps at once
to have the question at issue passed upon
by the Supreme Court For some reason
or other, however, it seems determined to
keep 1t away from that tribunal, at least
for the present

GEN. OTIS, WORK.

II is evident that Gen. Otis, from what
he says. regards his work in the Philip
pines as very satisfactory in every re-
spect In a long Interview given out on
the eve of his departure for this country
and in which he goes into details very
extensively, he says that the instruction
is crushed beyond revival, and that there
will be practically no more fighting ex-
cept an occasional exchange of shots with
the guerilla bands which still invest por-
lions Of the islands. There will not be
a renewal OF the war, he feels certain
because Agulnaldo is unable to get to-
gether an army.
Gen. Otis says that the leading Fill
pinos tell him that the Filipinos still keep
up a show of resistance in order to get
the best possible terms. That may be
their purpose, but from the savage man
ner in which they fight, when they think
they have a chance TO get the better Of
our troops. 1t would seem that they have
an exceedingly bitter feeling for us. and
that they are by no means ready yet TO
submit to our rule. 1t is no doubt true,
as Gen. Otis says. that their power Of
can make the situation extremely I'M
comfortable for our soldiers, scattered as
they are in small garrisons, for a long
time to come. 1t has been only a day or
two since two-thirds of the. men of one
small garrison were entirely destroyed by
insurgents.
1t Is but natural that Gen. Otis should
present the situation in as bright colors
as possible, and 1t may be that he is
fully sustained by the facts. Sill from
reports which reach this country every
few days it does seem as If there were
ground for thinking that the fighting in
the Philippines is not over yet.
And il will take long time to estab-
lish civil government satisfactorily. Spain
never did succeed in establishing that kind
of government in some of the provinces
In fact. she had 10 maintain military gov
eminent even in the province of Cavite
Gen. Otis is leaving the Philippines at
the best possible time for his reputation
The insurgents are comparatively quiet
If not wholly conquered. He returns
home therefore with the credit of having
been successful in accomplishing the task
to which he was assigned. The work of es-
ia blishing a civil government and of get
ting the people to accept 1t is a greater
one than was the putting down of the
instruction. We do not mean to detract
from Gen. Otis achievement. We simply
wish to call attention to the fact that
because Gen. Otis is coming home it is
not TO be understood that trouble in the
Philippines is ended.

NO CHANGE IN THE CHICAGO PLAT.
FORM

The Gold Democrats who are hoping
form will not be reafirmed are going to
be disappointed. In an interview in Mon
days New York Journal Mr.. Bryan said:
1.-The Democrats who are coming back
must not expect a single departure to be
made from the position taken by the par
ty in 1896. First, because the position TAX
en- then was right; second, 1t would not
be wise to ALLEVIATE those who were with
US in 1895 in order to Please those who
were then against u.s.
Further along in his interview Mr. Bry-
an said that there were two grounds on
which Gold Democrats could defend their
return to their party. They could say that
they had come to the conclusion that
their party was right in 1895, or that there
will be new issues in the platform and
that they are willing to accept the plat
form as a whole.
1t is unreasonable of course, for the gold
Democrats to expect that Mr. Bryan will
consent to any such departure from the
Chicago platform as would drive from
him a large part of those who supported
him in 1896, While It may be true that il
he should accept platform such as the
gold Democrats would write he would
stand a better chance of carrying New
York, 1t is certain that he would lose
ground in other parts of the country In
fact. he would lose more than he would
gain, in all probability, by abandoning the
16 to idea.
And Mr.. Bryan is not one of those who
thinks there is no chance for any silver
legislation in the next five years In the
interview to, which reference has been
made already he said II do not admit
that the Senate is Republican for the next
five years beyond all hope OF change" He
pointed out, however. that If the gold
Democrats really believe that the Senate
cannot be changed so as to favor silver
during the next five years they have no
reason to worry themselves about the sill
yer plank in the Democratic platform.
Mr.. Bryan will shape the platform. He
is very frank in saying what it will con-
tain. 1t is now known what its really i'm
portant planks will be. Nothing is likely
to occur to change them in any import
ant particular. If it were only known who
will be nominated for Vice President the
Kansas City Convention would have moth
ing TO do but ratify what has already been
agreed upon.

STRIKES ON BIG RAILWAY SYSTEMS

Railway strikers are more to be dread
ed by the public now than they were a
few years ago. The reason is that most
of the railways are now parts of big sys-
tens. "A strike on one of these systems
means the blocking of travel and traffic
throughout a very large section of coun-
try. When the great majority of the
roads were operated as Independent
lines, a strike on one of them was a COM
paratively unimportant affair A railway
strike now, that is a strike on one of the
big systems, affects hundreds of thou
sands of people.
A few days ago 5000 of the employees of
| the New York Central threatened to
strike. They had grievance of some sort
and they were very much in earnest.
| Had not their differences with the man
agement of the system been adjusted, it
is about certain that large part of the
traffic between New York and Chicago
and other cities would have been tied up
until a settlement of some sort was re ach-
| ed
Big railroad systems have some advant-
ages but with the advantages they have
s,me disadvantages. and not the least of
| them is the magnitude of a strike when
one occurs. and the greatness of the in
| jury done to the traveNlg and business
public.
1t is true that = efore the day of great
systems there we're often sympathetic

having no grievances endeavored to as
