These are words of truth and sober

Dear Sir:-Your answer of this date
to my prior communication relative to
Health matters entrusted to me by the
Hawaii Committee Is at hand. In reply
thereto have again to urge that what
ever may be the title adopted by the

War Stories From Berlin.

The alarmist reports about conditions in
China which are now emanating from Ber-
lin are easily to be understood. They may.
In fact be true. but whether true or false
their purpose clearly is to agitate the pow
ers and to increase the international sense
of alarm, thus adding to the Importance Of
the German military lead in China. The
German policy Is plain. 1t is to force a
struggle which will lead to partition. Hav-
ing failed to accomplish this result by Sc
curing the adoption by the powers Of a
strictly punitive policy. 1t is to the interest
of the Berlin government to hoist the dis
tresS signal. now that Won Waldersee has
arrived and Is ready to assume the direc-
tion of the International land campaign.
II these reports are true, and China is
powers, necessarily the chances Of peace
without partition are diminished. There is
limit to the indemnity-paying capacity Of
even SO rich country as China, and to the
extent that she adds to the cost of the in
ternatiOnal campaign to force her to OBJ
serve the laws of civilization she runs the
risk Of suffering territorial curtailment
when the final accounts are rendered. For
the sake of world peace. therefore, 1t is to
be hoped that these stories of renewed
Boxer activity and the defiance of the i'm
perial government are overdrawn and that
China, realizing even In her bigotry the
hopeiessness OF a campaign against the
powers. will hasten to institute measures
looking to the restoration of pacific rela-
tions with the rest of the world.

Russia and Manchuria.

1t Is reported from London and st.
Petersburg In unqualified terms, though un-
ofhcially, that Russia has proclaimed the
annexation of Manchuria as punishment for
the Chinese assault upon Blagovestchenk
This is surprising statement in view of
the assurances solemnly given to the
United States by Russia last month that
the st. Petersburg government had no in
tention whatever to annex Manchuria, but
that the military operations being then con-
Quoted by Russia on Chinese soil were
purely the result of the immediate neces-
stiles of the situation. This disclaimer was
felt to be q strong guarantee OF interna-
ticnal peace. inasmuch as II seemed to re-
move one OF the most imminent dangers
of partition. II now 1t should transpire
that Russia deliberately misled the United
States her prestige will suffer In future
negotiations and she will have Justly In
curred the diplomatic hostility Of the Amer
lean republic. Russia's explanation, In

The New TrOtting Record.

From the New YORK herald
That remarkable gelding, the Abbot
which has been showing WhirlWtnd speed al
summer, won the trotting record held fol
six years by Alix. Alix went a mile al
Galesburg ILL. in 1894 In 2.03A. The Abbot
at Terre Haute yesterday turned the track
In 2.O3A.
1t is far cry back to Flora Temple
whose mile In 219A in 1859 seemed a mar
yelous performance, but since then, with
higher breeding, more skillful track build
ing and advancement in sulky making and
other aids to greater speed, the record has
been slowly cut down. Maud 8. startled
the world with her 2.OS3N in 1885. and nine
years later Alix reduced that figure by five
seconds.
For six years the Alix record has with
stood all attempts to lower It. No trottel
has appeared, save The Abbot, whose per-
formances seemed even to put the record In
danger The Abbot himself has been driven
frequently against time. He lowered the
record to wagon at the Hartford meeting
and attempted to get close to the A1ix
figure on the Empire City track. At that
time he was only able to do 204. In that
test he showed remarkable speed In the
middle half. In his performance yesterday
his greatest speed was developed in the Sec
ond half, which he stepped in one minute
and one second-one second and a quarter
faster than the first half.
After this performance why should not
the two-minute trotter be looked for at nc
very distant day?

The Paramount Issue.

Senator Morgan is a democrat 9ith the
courage of his convictions. He attempts
no disguises. He fights in the open An
aggressive partisan in all matters of domes-
tic interest, he is one OF the broadest of
our statesmen in matters of foreign rela-
ton. and has. under commission from re-
publican Presidents, helped to shape some
OF the most important of recent legisia-
tion of international moment. AS the phrase
Is. his politics stop at the seashore That
is 10 say. with regard to all policies af-
fecting the countrys progress as a member
OF the family of natiens, he is first and

destiny. As The STAG on a previous occa-
sion has expressed it. he has been the most
eonspicuously useful man the south has

the civil war.

Mr. German on the Outlook,

MT. Gorman on yesterday favored The
star with his views about the political sit
uation. and. as usual, had something of in
tefest to say. He Is a close observer, and
thorough-paced party man. He, of
course, speaks as one at this time No
feature of the Bryanite platform but that
OIL imperialism commands his approval but
as democrat. and for the party's sake. he
swallows the whole dose, and Is giving Mr.,
Bryan loyal support. He will not risk an
opinion this far in advance as to the final
result, but he thinks that just now. the
DRIFT of sentiment is decidedly toward the
democracy.
Asked IL the gold democrats who op-
posed Mr.. Bryan in 1896 were returning to
their old affiliations, Mr.. German replied:
The men who are politicians or natur-
any party men, and the moderate men
that Is, those of moderate wealth-are back
In the party supporting the ticket. The
smaller number of men of great wealth who
are at the head of some great corporations
and moneyed institutions are not generally
coming to the support of Mr.. Bryan. The
men of moderate fortune, the middle class
of business men and those who want to get
back into their party are going to give the
ticket their support"
II Mr.. German is correct in this, he
states a case it is difficult to explain. Why
should business man of moderate means
differ from business man of large means
on the question of sound money? That is
the question which took many of them out
of the democratic party four years ago,
and that, from the business viewpoint, is
still the paramount question. The gold
democrats of large means are not return
ing to their party, because they still recog-
nize in Mr.. Bryan an enemy of sound
md ho.y 70 ,Ss,
power into the hands of a man who de-
ciares a purpose to use it to their detri-
ment Why should gold democrats of mod
crate means be willing now to trust him
His purpose Is as antagonistic to their
interests as it was In 1s96. and II one grade
of business men would suffer from 1t, all
grades would. Free silver would be no
respecter Of fortunes. Big fortunes and
little fortunes would alike tumble under
its operations.
Mr.. Germans statement about the poll
tfcians is safely within the record. Many
OF them have returned to the fold. A bolt
with a politician Is serious matter. 1t
leaves him In a very uncomfortable posi-
ton. He is accustomed to a home and a
place to lay his head. He lives in the at
mosphere of management and manipula tion
and deprived of an opportunity to help
shape things he pines away. He must get
quick action on his talents and his ener-
gies. or he Is not himself at all.
But the politicians compare lively few
in number. Put them all in line together
and they would not turn the scale any
where. But business men are numerous
and influential. and 1t will be strange IL

case this report 10 verified, may throw q
new light upon the situation, but 1t Is diff
cult to see how both of the statements can
be true. 1t matters at this stage of the
case but little that the ultimate Russian
ownership of Manchuria has for some years
been a foregone conclusion. Ever since the
route of the Trans-Siberian railway was
changed from the Amur valley to the
southern route. to avoid the floods of the
watershed, 1t has been felt to be certain
that Russia would sooner or later acquire
sovereignty over the territory traversed in
order to control the approaches to the line
Thus If this step has now been taken 1t is
but in anticipation of what the world has
long held In view as the certain sequence
OF the shifting of the road. The assault
upon Blagovestchenk was regarded at the
time with some suspicion. The details of
she affair were meager and the suggestion
was offered in some quarters inimical to
the Russian interests that the Boxers were
deliberately tempted to attack the place,
with view to the later reprisals which
the affront would be held to justify. It re.
mains to be seen whether this retributory
step by the czar covers the whole of Man
churia If the acquisition Of the railway
approaches Is desired. but little Of the
great region will be left to China, for the
line cuts close to the southern boundary,
bisecting the province of Kirin, which
aput Corea on the north South Of Kirin
lies the province Of Sheng King. the south
ern portion of which forms the Liao Tung
peninsula. now occupied by the Russians.
Thus should Russia take sovereignty over
the whole Of Manchuria she would COM
pietely Isolate Corea, upon which 1t is
known her eyes are covetously fixed.
