Imnrtsonine the President.

A great deal of nonsense is being
printed in the newspapers in commen-
dation of tbe Presidents action in re
fusing to cross the Rio Grande at FL
Paso and pay a feeting visit to Mexi-
can soil The Boston Transcript"
solemnly announces that this adherence
by the President to custom in not de-
parting out of the territory of the
United States during his term Of office
is a pleasant augury of his determine
ton not to violate another custom and
accept 9 third term in the White House
The Transcript is satisfied that no
President since the days of Washing
ton has ever moved out Of the coun-
try even for a moment.
The truth is, that there is no more
reason why the American Executive
should not visit Mexico or Canada or
even cross the Atlantic during his
term Of office than there was why the
German Emperor should not have at
tended his srandmother's funeral. The
Constitution provides what shall be
done in the case Of the absence or tenn
porary disability Of the President. and
even with the strenuous Roosevelt in
question Mr.. Mckinley could have
shaken hands with General Diaz in
perfect safety.
Residents Of Washington of twenty
years standing will remember that it
was with great difficulty that Presi-
dent Arthur could be convinced that it
was dangerous for the welfare of the
state for him to refuse to cross Con-
necticut Avenue into the foreign terri
tory occupied by the British Legation
or to abandon Q pleasant evening at
the hospitaBle board Of the German
Minister. simply because certain
learned pundits held that he would
fracture the Constitution in so doing.
But the -inmemoriaI usage which so
enchants our Boston contemporary
gliped him and he waited until his
term Of Office expired before accepting
any invitetions from the foreign repre-
sentatives whom he had so delightfully."-
entertained at the White House. The
result was acute Indigestion.
No one supposes that King Edward
would make any more objection to din
ing at the American Embassy IN Lon
don than he would 70 crossing the
North Sea to visit his sister at her
German castle, and there IS no con
ceivabIe reason why the American
President should hesitate to enter the
house Of any one of the European Am
bassadcrs or Ministers stationed in
Wash .ngton. The rule prohibiting an
exchange Of graceful courtesies be
tween the head of the American State
and the representatives Of foreign Pow
ers is Just as sensible as the objections
which were raised TO air. McKinley's

strike order viii not affect shops whose
proprietors concede the demands Of the
International Machinists' Association,
and il is reported that a very large
number of concerns already have
agreed to the terms of their men.
We do not care to enter into dis
cussion Of the ethics Of the quarrel, but
it is probably true as the president of
the machinists' organization has said,
that one of the most skilled and intel
ligent elements in the army of labor
has been overworked and underpaid to
the present time. The superiority Of
American tools and machinery, which
have given these commodities chance
to invade Europe, Notwithstanding the
lower wages paid on the other side Of
the Atlantic, is due TO the training and
ability of American machinists. At a
time when the capital engaged in pro
ducing the goods Of the trade is reap
ing exceptional reward in the markets
of the world. it is fair to assume that
the labor without which such pros
perity could not exist is entitled to
consideration and something like its
share of the dividend. From this point
of view, as far as we are advised Of
the circumstances. the contention Of the
machinists seems fair. and the indica-
tions are that it viii be met with COM
plance on the part Of the employers.

Steel Trust were somewhat crippled dur

FAVORED BY THE NAVAL BOARD
The Adoption of the wireless TeIe-
graph system Advocated.

The board OF naval officers appoiated
By Rear Admiral Bradford to investigqte
wireless teIegraphy yesterday reported 70
the Secretary Of the Navy favoring the
adoption Of the system. The report is as
follows:
From the examination of the subject
as outlined in the orders of the depart
ment, the board makes the following rec
concentrations:
THAT the use OF homing pigeons be dis
continued as soon as wireless telegraphy
is introduced into the navy. That, pend
ing such action. no new pigeon cotes be
established. That wireless telegraphy be
adopted by the navy for transmission Of
messages between distant points"
Referring to the last recommendation.
the board s@z==ss that it is Of the opinion
thai high degree of special electrical
training is demanded for the successful
operation of any system of wireless teie-
graphy and it therefore suggests as neces-
| sary the establishment Of two stations,
sufficiently far removed from each 9TH
eT foT-the trimming of officers and men.
! In It's opinion. ti..s requirement would be
tvst met by the establishment OF such
stations at the Navy Yard. Washington.
and the Naval Academy. Annapolis. L
/ wireless telegraphy fulflls what now
| seems to be its possibilities. the cadets
1 should be thoroughly trained in it. the
board thinks. The report continues.
As the investigation made by this
board is not technical, there being no ap-
! paratus Of any kind ready for test but
] general in its character. such partial ex-
dIIlAatlonS as outlined above would not
/ change the recommendations already

The selection of any special system of

II Tor any reason any competitive test
