Chamberlain will be almost the only
prominent Liberal Unlonist in the cab
met and ought 20 have a most con.
splouous office In order to illustrate ths
principle Of the survival Of the fittest
There are. however. a good many sup
erannuated Tories who would adorr
the privacy Of retirement and their fate
has not yet been settled by the rumor
mongers. One theory Is that Lord Gro
mer will be brought into the foreigu
office ard General Kitchener into the
war office and that Mr.. Balfour. Mr.,
Chamberlain and Sir Michael Hicks
Reach win be left where they are. The
''Aldershot gang which planned the
! holiday promenade to Pretoria a year
ago. will find itself between the devil
and the deep sea" when asked to choose
between Mr.. Chamberlain and General
Kitchener.
Another mystery which fascinates the
rumor mongers is the probable selec-
ton Of the new lord chief justice. The
lord high chancellor ordinarily makes
all judicial appointments. but the prime
minister is responsible for the choice
Of lord chief justice. Lord Salisbury
and Lord Halbury are intimate per-
sonal friends and win talk over the
matter. but the decision rests with the
prime minister.
Sir Edward Clarke would have been
Lord Russells natural successor II he
had not gone wrong on South Africa
and been forced TO abandon public life.
Sir Richard Webster has excluded him
self from the chief seat on the bench
by becoming master Of the polls. Sir
Robert Findlay has been attorney gen.
eral only G few months and his ele-
walton to Lord Russell's place would
be considered premature. Some most
astute lawyers and officials are predict
ing the appointment of Sir Francis
Jeune. He has been president Of the
great divisions of the bench and has
great influence at court and in poll
tical circles.
Some Unionist journals are seeking
to create the impression that Germany
and England are leading and controll-
ing the other powers on the China
question. Germany has taken. without
doubt. line Of her own. but the Brit
ish foreign office has made it clear that
1t preferred to follow the other powers
and was unwilling to lead the way.
The German emperor's circular is now
commended by the English press as
the wisest deliverance yet made on the
Chinese question. although It is not
explained how any black list of guilty
mandarins can be provided which will
omit at the top the name Of the en-
press dowager as the chief conspira-
tor against the foreign embassies and
mission stations.
The candid English journals tell the
plain truth about the diplomatic situa-
tion, namely, that Great Britain by
remaining in the background and
waiting for other powers to take the
initiative has lost the great opportu-
nifty for justifying its position as an
Asiatic power and exerting moral in
fluence in the world. England has
been adrift in China without a def
mite policy. Now that the elections
are coming or the foreign office is
stiffening its diplomacy and receives
credit from the Unionlst press for max
ing strong demands at Pekin.

PROPOSED FISH TRUST.
Fulton Market Men Say Sea Food Mar
ket Cannot Be Controlled

NEW YORK. Sept. 2O.-Eugene s.
Blackford. Of Fulton market. inter-
viewed concerning the report from MIN
neapolls, Mimi. to the effect that an
organization has been formed to con-
troll sea food, said among other things:
II do not think it possible, however,
TO control the market for sea food in
general because 1t Is too large. No
single organization could ever hope to
control the entire output Of the whole
seaboard CT the United States. II this
sea food company had limited itself to
one or two kinds Of fish its enterprise
might not seem so lmpractlcable, be-
cause It is frequently possible to control
the catch Of a single kind Of fish. This
has already been done in the case Of
halibut. for example.
THE great difficulty that this com
pany Will have to contend with Is the
extent Of the field 1t has apparently
proposed to cover. The fish trade is
different from other trades In that It's
stock is so extremely perishable. Fish
cannot be 'cornered.' You cannot put
fish on the shelf and walt until people
are willing to pay your price. but you
must sell and sell at once. The ee-
ment Of 'cornering.' which Is generally
the means Of such an organization as
the sea food company, to attain It's end.
Is thus impossible. Indeed fail to see
how the company hopes to succeed"
The Howard Searles and II. S. searles
mentioned in the dispatches are not
known in Fulton market.

uers and sluggards which is respons-
ible, more than any individual, for
the unreadiness Of the army in the
last war. This is intrenched in the
present system and resists reform
with the passive determination of a
barnacle. The bill is threatened
with the fate of every reform that
attacks vested interests for public
benefit only. Being technical ref
orm, public opinion cannot be reused
in its favor; so it is languidly urged
and vigorously resisted. Roosevelt CO
rried the navy personnel bill through
when he was assistant secretary by
his personal momentum. Here is a
fine example for Secretary Root. His
task sbould be easier than Roosev-
elt's, because in one respect his bill
is not too technical for public COM
preheusion- Every one can under
stand the need for more artillery to
save 800. 1000. 900 worth of coast def
enses from rust and decay. This is
the vital part of the bill, and the ro-
tation of staff officers come next. If
anything must be jettisoned, promo
ton by merit can be spared best,
because in an emergency this would
be done any,cay.

fendant twenty days in which to
answer q complaint in a suit of this
character, and it is altogether likely
that Commissioner Fitchie will avail
himself of the full limit of time.
Neither he nor the government is
anxious to bring the suit to trial any
earlier than is possible. On the
other hand, bewill take advantage
OF all possible delays. When Sec.
retary Gage issued instructions that
legal proceedings would be begun
against the Herald" for having
brought Cruz TO this country as
contract laborer it was hoped that
the case would be vigorously pushed,
in order that the question could be
decided with the least possible delay,
but, Notwithstanding the virtuous
indignation implied in the Secreta.
ry's instructions and his apparent
desire for Speedy action, no move Of
any decisive kind has been taken by
the government toward bringing the
matter into the courts.
Former Judge Dittenhoefer, who
is counsel for Cruz, says that if the
government should win the case,
,ohich he is not at all willing to admit
as being in the least probable, the
matter will be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States for final
settlement. It is not improbable
that the government may give in il

Studies Her Own Case And

Slowly dying from blood poison
ing, DIR. Pearly Starr, Of Bellevue,
has carefully studied and treated her
own case and has made record Of
her observations for the guidance Of
others. She was to have gone abroad
this year to visit her facther's cousin,
the Countess Won Waldersee, grand
aunt by her first marriage to the
Empress Of Germany. Instead, she
will be compelled to suffer until death
comes.

and the shade caught fire. DR.. Starr
flung the burning object ont Of re
window, but in running through the
room she struck her side against .

She has been in attendance in q
case of blood poisoning and recently
discovered that the injured spot in
her side had become inflamed from
the same cause.
She realized that her days srere
numbered, and acquainted her family
with the fact.
She received her patients and
went about her ordinary duties, max
ing no complaint until unable to do
so longer. She follOseed her own
symptoms, kept tabulated report,
treated her own case in a careful
manner and has made no error in
her diagnosis or treatment.

The War In The
Philippines.
Peace Not Yet In Sight.

The latest dispatches from Manila
show that the aUar in the Philippines
is still far fro-n being brought to a
close. Reports received up to yester-
day seemed to indicate that the
backbone Of the rebellion was broken
and that there was little left for the
American troops to do. In fact,
arrangements were being made in
Washington looking to the early
withdrawal Of a considerable portion
of the forces now in the Tagal Ar
chipelago. And yet we have news
of fierce battle between the Fill
pinos and q detachment Of American
troops in which nineteen Of the latter
Were killed, and no report as to the
number Of qoOuded. This does not
look as if the insurreetion was crus-
he'd, hut rather that the insurgents
4Cere not only still active, hut sOere
still daring enough to assume the
offensive when opportunity offered.
When General Otis returned to
the United States, the tone Of the
American press indicated that it vas
believed that the subjugation of the
Filipino rebels had practically been
effected, and that his successor, Cen
eral Macarthur would have little to
do but to receive the submission Of
the various insurgent chiefs and if
possible capture AguinaldO, whose
whereabouts are unknown, and who
has even been reported rs in hiding
in Manila.
But these dreams of peace seem
to have been premature. There is
plenty of fighting for the American
Army in the Philippines yet, before
those islands are in a condition to
warrant amy substantial reduction
in the number of troops on duty
there.
And yet, OF course, it is only q
question of time. Gradually the
insurgents are being forced back and
driven to seek refuge in the mounta-
in fastuesses in the interior. From
there hunger will eventually drive
them again to the plains, where they
must either fight or surrender to the
Americans. There is good reason
to believe that thousands of them
now in arms would lcng since have
surrendered had it not been for the
mistaken impression that if they did
SO they would be harsbly treated by
the Americans. When this impress
sion is removed, as il undoubtedly
will be soon, the insurgents will
yield allegiance to the American
Government and the war, if it can
be called such, will be over.

THE JORDAN STORE RAT.
Not Touched by Anybody and Was
Probably Uninfected.

-Ir. Jordan, the Fort street merchant,
states positively that the rat found
dead in his store was not touched by
the late Mrs. Boardman or any one else.
when the rat was found a Japanese
now in quarantine, actng under Mr..
Jordan's instruction, put the rat on a
basket-ld. using a piece Of cardboard
and a stick to move It, and buried the
r ent in a deep hole. The hands OF
the Japanese did not come in contact
with the rat at all The .asket I'D and
cardboard were burned. Mrs. Board
ran had nothing o do with me natter.
Mr.. Jordan does no believe that tie RAJ
was infected but thinks that it died
from poison which was scattered about
the store. Since Mays store was pulled
down rats have been numerous in Jor-
dams place and many Of them have
been killed. IT. Jordan Is anxious 20
do all he can 10 aid The Board Of Health
but denies responsibility for the Board
man case.

TORE FUMIGATED.
The Pearson & Potter Company Sets
a Good Example.

The Pearson & Potter Co., thorough
ly fumigated their store Monday night
All openings were tightly closed and on
leaving the store at six o'clock the pro-
prietOrs started three sulphuric fires in
the cellar. BY nine o'clock the fumes
were so dense that no one could enter.
No rats were found and the cellar hav-
ing been made rat proof, the Pearson
& Potter Co. feel safe from infection
from the rodents.
This is a good example and one easily
followed by establishments where stock
is not injured by the fumes Of the sui
phur.
In cases where goods are Manageable
they could be removed until the fumi
cation was over and then returned.
With rat proof gratings over al
openings the business part OF the cit!
once 1t had been fumigated, would b.
practically safe from infection from
this source.
