The worlds Grief.

1t is a pleasant commentary upon the
impression that the late President Me
kinley made upon the governments
and peoples of his time that they nov
vie with one another in doing honor to
his memory and in mourning with us
as If his loss were quite as much theirs
as ours.
1t would be hard to find in history such
universal and spontaneous tributes of
respect as are being laid upon his bier.
On being apprised of the sad event the
German Emperor at once ordered his
fleet to half-mast the imperial ensign
and hoist the American flag His Maj
esty also sent kilograms of coincidence
TO Mrs. Mckinley, and to the Ameri-
can people. through the Secretary Of
State In the latter, he said: Il hast
en- to express the deepest and most
heartfelt sympathy of the German peo-
pie to the great American nation. Ger
many mcurns with America her noble
son, who lost his life while he was full
filling his duty to his country and peo-
pie"
The Kaiser's message represents the
tone OF all King Edward VII said in
his to Ambassador Choate: Most truly
do ! sympathiZe with you and the
whole American nation in the loss of
your distinguished and ever to be regret
ted President" The foreign press is no
less warm in its sympathy and praise
for the dead ruler than are the Euro
pean potentates. The Pail Mall Ga
crime which has placed the civilized
world in mourning, and says of the an
archists: They have treacherously Bit
ten the hand that fed them. They have
foully murdered the chief representa-
tive OF laws and a Constitution which
sheltered them, and it will be strange,
indeed. if American vengeance does
not strike home with all the tradition
al thoroughness of American methods"
The Pail Mall Gazette" is right In
deed it will be strange If society of
murderers, which has taken advantage
of our free hospitality to plot the as
sassination OF our own and the great
men of other nations, should not feel
the hand of retributive justice.
The Westminster Gazette" says of
the dead President: ITO US in this

family bereavement. We claim a spe

indignation the American Continent

KEEP THEM OUT.

It is a well-known feature of interna-
tional law that other countries may. II
they deem II necessary to their own pro-
lection. require every vessel coming from
the ports of a plague-stricken nation to
have what is called "a clean bill of
health" They may. and they often do,
insist that every ship from infected ports
shall bring With her certificates from a
consul of the country to whose ports they
go that she and her cargo have been thor
oughly disinfected before sailing-in short.
that she may be allowed to enter the har-
Dor and unload without danger
By logical analogy ships loaded with hui
man freight coming into American ports
from countries notoriously smitten with
the loathsome leprosy of anarchism may
be reasonably required to bring clean
bill of health" 1t would be easy to pass
a law requiring every immigrant from
Europe to bring in his pocket an Ameri-
can Consuls certificate that he was not
a member of any association of assassins.

dence that the applicant was not an an

and American nations. Great Britain,
the United States, Russia. and Germany
have become the four great world Pow
ers, although he thinks that for eco
nomic reasons France may still be
classed with them. France is rich
and productive country. She is also
progressive one in all respects save the
increase of population. If her popula-
ton remains stationary while those oil
the other Powers increase. ultimately
the time will come when, measured by
her fighting strength, France Will no
longer be one Of the great Powers. But
whether such conditions will continue.
and how long it would take for her in
any event to drop into the second class,
no one can say with any approach to
certainty There are too MANI un-
known factors in such an equation to
justify close predictions. Under the
leadership of a great genius France
might fight successful war that would
materially change the map of Europe,
and once more makes her the first mill
tary power of the Old World.

Race Predominance.

In its bearing upon the worlds great
racial question-that is, the future pre-
dominance of races, the address of Sir
Robert Griffen before the British As
sociation at Glasgow appears to have
been full of instruction and suggestive
ness. This gentleman, who is one Of
EngIand's most noted statisticians.
dealt primarily with the question that
has been raised as to the possibility of
the Chinese and kindred peoples at
tanning preponderating power. His con-
clusion is that there is no reason to fear
anything of the kind because Euro
peans and people CT European descent
SO enormously increased in number dur
ing the last century. The increase, he
states, was from one hundred and sew
enty millions TO five hundred and ten
millions, while the black and yellow
races have scarcely increased at all.
Many have expressed great fear of
the direful consequences which may
flow from the arousing of China and
the awakening of a martial spirit
among the four hundred millions of
people who constitute the population
of that great Empire. No one can ven
ture to speak with certainty as to what
any of the populous Oriental nations
may do hereafter, but We do know that
they would have to experience a most
wonderful physical. and. in Some re-
spects, mental regeneration. with an
equally great degeneration of the dom
inant Caucasion races to lead to any
change that would endanger the su-
premacy of the latter. There is moth
ing now in sight that Is suggestive of
either. but quite the reverse.
At this time. Europe and America
are not only increasing far more rapid
ly in population than are Asia and Af-
rica, but the gain is as distinctly mark
ed in the mental and physical standard
of the people. The time will probably
come when the Chinese and the Hin
docs will have to be reckoned with as
industrial factors, but any idea of their
overrunping Europe and America
with conquering armies and blotttug
out Western civilization may be dis
missed at once as altogether fanciftil
and absurd. The character of those
people has been formed by thousands
of years of unchanged habit, and it is
not likely to undergo metamorphosis
very soon. People who are inferior
both mentally and physically. and with
whom the fighting instinct is almost
entirely lacking. are not very likely ever
to become dominant in the worlds af-
fairs. The circumstance that the more
progressive races are also increas-
ing In numbers so much more rapidly,
simply strengthens the assurance Of
immunity from any danger on this
score
Sir Robert adopts the usually ac-
cepted view that among the European

THE VISIT OF THE GEAR.
Forecasts as to Its Bearing on
International Politics.

LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE visit Of the
Gar to France has naturally provoked
considerable speculation, but the topic has
been quite overshadowed by the tragedy
at Buffalo. In regard to the visit Of the
Russian monarch. there are various opin-
| ions
Some people maintain that the flota-
sion of a Russian loan of SO, 10000 is his
| main object. Others say that the Car
| wishes to correct the unfavorable impress
sion which was created In France by the
! speeches at the German maneuvrcs In
Alsace Lorraine last year when Emperor
William offered a toast to the Gar in
terms Of the warmest friendship and the
Russian Ambassador replied with equal
warmth
Others again hold that the Car is ac-
tuated by desire to make the acquaint-
ance of Loubet and to give him a per-
sonal proof af his esteem. and also to
contradict directly. at the same time. the
idea which has been so much talked OF,
that the Czar was distressed at the de-
iance of the French army.
1t is more than probable that all these
considerations perhaps influence the Car
and his advisers. There is no doubt of
the desire on the part of Russia to pacify
somewhat the irritated feelings of
rTeHclinen, apart Hereiy from nnanci3l
considerations.
The French support in China was real
and the need thereof has not yet passed.
A loan is very likely to follow quickly,
but Parislans expect that the duties on
French wines into Russia will be ma
terially reduced. One political consequence
that is pointed out as certain Is that the
three Powers concerned will continue or
resume negotiations for the renewal OF
the Triple Alliance next year in a mu-
tually conciliatory spirit. though the exi-
gencles of the German tariff will make 1t
difficult work for the German diplomats.
who will have to contend with the Ital-
ians and Austrians.
Many objections have been raised to
the renewal of the alliance in Italy and
Austria They will, however. be waived
in the presence of the fear created by the
renewed friendship OF France and Rus
sia. which accounts for the expression of
discomfort over the Cars visit which has
been pretty freely expressed recently In
both France and Germany.

ADMIRAL RAMSAY HERE.
The schley Court to Adjourn Mon
day Morning Indefinitely.

Rear Admiral Francis NJ. Ramsay. who
has been assigned as member of the
Schley Court OF Enquiry to succeed Rear
Admiral Henry L. Howison, excused from
service. arrived in Washington yesterday
afternoon. He came in response to
telegram from Acting Secretary Hackett
of the Navy Department. having previ-
ously wired his acceptance of the assign
ment to duty on the Court. He was at
Ridge Summit. Franklin County, Pa. He
returned to Washington in company with
Mrs. Ramsay and they went at once 10
their home, 1921 n Street.
When seen yesterday afternoon Admiral
Ramsay courteousiy declined tc make
any statement concerning the appoint
ment or to discuss the Schley case. He
said he had come to Washington in obedi
ence to the orders of the department.
Admiral Schley would say nothing yes
terday In regard to the selection of Ad-
miral Ramsay. 1t is understood, how
ever. that his name was considered by
Acting Secretary Hackett with counsel
for Schley and that he Is satisfactory to
them 1t is not thought that any chal-
lenge or objection will be made to him:
In accordance with the understanding
reached when the Court adjourned on
Thursday the members VIII meet at the
Navy Yard at IL o'clock Monday morning.;
They will then decide to adjourn out OF
respect to the late resident. and no other
business of any sort will be transacted
The adjournment may be indefinite. but
II is probable that a date Will be nxeu
upon for reassembling after a proper
period of mourning has been observed;
This question Is entirely in the hands of
the court, and 1t is unlikely that the
Navy Department viii issue any special
order In this respect.

DISASTER AHEAD.

The Boer war is incontestably the
greatest tragic drama the world has seen
since the American civil war. and as time
passes there is growing prospect that its
ultimate consequences may be as d!sas-
trous to the British Empire as the wars
in the Netherlands were to the Spain of
Philip III and the Duke Of Alva. The
British are now encountering force that
was not arrayed against them in the origi-
nal controversy. Kitchener confesses
that as the war went on Britain raised
up new enemies, and these, he admits.
are people who were originally opposed
to the war.
By their conduct the British have made
bitter enemies of the whole Dutch popula-
tion of South Africa. who are in large
majority of the white inhabitants of the
country. The Dutch of Cape Colony have
been infamed by British barbarities, and
practically goaded into what may be con-
sidered a war for race existence.-Spring-

A CANADIAN VIEW.

Every year the United States receives
from Europe an immense body of men
who are untitled for free institutions
whether by their own fault or by CEN
turies of oppression. To fit them for free
dom is a noble work. but it has its dan
gers. to meet which is a task worthy OF
the highest craftsmanship, 1t must be
said for the Americans that when great
occasion arises, touching the deepest
chords of patriotism. they are not found
wanting They made enormous sacrifices
in order to abolish slavery. They have
still to cope with evils perhaps not so
gross and palpakle as slavery. but not less

A CAPACITY FOR MISCHIEF.

Secretary Cages action in authorizing
deposits in the national banks up to par
of the bonds held as security and his so
licitaton of proposals for the sale of
bonds to the Treasury had the effect of
sending money down and bonds up. The
effect is reassuring. but the way of bring
Ing II about is most unfortunate. The
TO doctor the money market has dam
gerous capacity for mischief. The exer-
else of this power always raises the ques-
ton whether there be not somebody. or
a number of somebodes, in the country
who can doctor the Secretary. -Philadel-

In view of the apparent indisposition OF
the Venezuelan Government to accept the
mediation of the United Statrs in the diff
ferences between the former and the
neighboring State of Colombia, 1t is prob
able that no further steps in the matter
will be taken for some time. In view of
the present situation of this Government,
consequent upon the assassination OF
President Mckinley. matters involving ac-
