DETRIMENTAL TO PEACE.
Russia So Considers Germany's Pro
posed Expedition.

Russia So Considers Germany's Pro.
posed Expedition.
New York, May 22.-According to a
Herald dispatch from St. Petersburg,
Germany's reported desire to send a
new expedition against the Boxers is
looked upon at the Russian capital as
detrimental to the prospects of peace.
The Bergevaia Viedomosti COM
ments as follows on the kaiser's
speech regarding the confidence Of the
car In Count Won Waldersee:
I'VE do not understand, and we
have no confidence in these penal,
piratical expeditions, and only under
stand peaceful methods.
ut has needed much confidence in
the triumph of common sense and in
the triumph of political peace over a
policy of adventures and vagabond-
ages for Russia to remain calm and
cool during these long months of fruit
full deliberations and criminal eXpedi-
tions. compl:cating situation which
should long ago have ended.
"lf the troops are being withdrawn
now the powers are merely following
the first plan mapped out by Russia.
but in all this where is Russia's con-
fidencc in Count Waldersee?"
The Wahpeton times., 1901-05-23

The controversy over "Uncle
Toms Cabin" is recalled by
the somewhat heated discuss
ion which is going on in the
papers concerning new book
entitled "A Maryland Manor
by Frederic Emory, of the
State Department, Washington,
d. G. The book describes con-
ditions in Maryland during the
war, and the hero, southern
man, disbelieves i n alvery.
Critics of the novel assert that
it's delineations are true, but
that no, one h a dared, by
reason of the popular feeling,
to tell the whole story. In the
meantime the publishers are
profiting by the discussion. as
the book has now reached it's
fourth edition.
The Wahpeton times., 1901-05-23

Before the Duke of Manches-
ter married Miss Zimmerman,
his creditors would have been
only too glad to settle at about
twenty per cent; but now that
they have heard so much of Pa
Zimmerman's wealth they un-
animously refuse fifty per cent.
Thus do the rich catch it under
the fifth rib.

OF course, no one wants to
interfere with the sup r e III e
court in its determination of
the Porto Rican cases, but still
the country is certainly entitled
to some sort of decision on so
monlentous question. The
Porto Rican law was passed
two years ago and the cases
were submitted to the court
more than four months ago.
Surely we. should have a de-
cision before next October.

During our Civil War Great
Britain bought up our mer-
chant marine and has retained
the prepondency in that respect
ever since. Now that she is so
engrossed in South Africa we
could easily buy back tn e
dominion of the seas, if it were
not for republican blindness
that stands in the way of grant
ing American re gistry to
foreign built ships.

Washington, May 22.-Sec:etary
Root has approved the action OF the
board Of officers at West Point which
recommended the dismissal of five ca
diets and the suspension of six others.
This sustains the course of Colonel
Mills and the other officers in the re-
cent disturbance at the academy.
The names of the cadets dismissed
and suspended will be announced at
the military academy shortly.
Colonel Mills, superintendent of the
military academy, had long consulta.
tion with the secretary of war relative
to recent disorders among the cadets
at West Point. The papers in the
cases of the cadets who have been
tried for offenses against the author
tiles have been in the department for
some time. but have not been acted
upon. Superintendent Mills explained
the condition at the academy, insist
ing that many of the published reports
were exaggerated. The present diff.
ficulty grows out of the attempt to sup.
press hazing, and the restrictions
that have been made in this direction
since Colonel Mills became superin-
tendent. The superintendent spoke in
the highest terms of the cadets and
thought it was only a question of
short. time before the customary con-
ditions would be resumed. The mat
ter Of discipline was in question and
that must be maintained.
