AS VIEWED IN RUSSIA.
An Opinion of President Mckinley
and the American People.

From the ST. Petersburg NoIosti.
Mckinley has declared categOrically
that in compliance with tradition he
will not accept any nomination for
third term and that in March, 1905,
he will become a private citizen. There
can be no doubt that If he agreed to
run once more he would be reelected.
His name and administration are iden-
tilted with period of unusual pros
perity and the most fluorishing con-
dition of the United States. 1t looks
as though special luck attended every
undertaking of this president, The
people of the United States are enjoy
ing remarkable state of well-being.
While in Europe all governments are
continually increasing their public
debt, as a consequence of militarism,
the United States has gradually re-
duced it's Indebtedness from $1,000, 600, :
900 francs Gn 1860 To 5000, 900 900
francs. And even this remainder it
would now get rid of had not the gov
ernment given the holders of its bonds
pledge not to press their redcmp-
ton. The additional taxes called
forth by the cost of the war of 1925
have already been reduced by one half,
yet the treasury reports surplus of
50,OOOO0O francs. In 1900 the surplus
wasi 400, 900, 900 cranes. Another two
years and the United States will have
paid off all its liabilities.
The main source of this unparalleled
economical success is to be sought in
the people themselves, in their unus-
'ual enterprise and perseverance. The

best illustration in this connection is
offered by these same fabulous har-
ests of theirs. In Europe good crop
is a matter of chance. whereas in the
United States it is secured by means
of practical system Of tilling the soil,
irrigation and manuring. American
farmers do not so TO ruin. They grow
rich, for their bread Is needed by other
nations. Then, too, the United States
exports its surplus breastuffs only.
AS a result it doesn't have to convert
its agricultural districts into factory
towns.
As to its industries they are in a
fiourishng condition because the con-
ditions surrounding them are extreme
ly favorable to their development.
The basis of production in that coun-
try is an effort TO combine excellence
of qality with cheapness. The Ameri
can factory is vastly superior to the
European factory in point of resources
and modern improvements. Recently
the English government found itself in
need of bridge in the Soudan. II was
to be of unusual height and length.
Well, not single firm either in Eng
land or in Germany had the courage
to undertake the job, but an American
concern at once responded and fulfill
ed its contract to the entire sNtisfaC-
| ton of the English government. Agri-
cultural machinery, engines, rails, etc,
are imported by Europeans from
| America, and competing with the pro-
ducers of these commodities is out of
| the question. With the exception of
| the silk industry and the production
of woolen stuffs. the Americans have
reached a high degree OF perfection
! in every line of economical activity.
1t goes without saying that this re-
public, which has achieved such gi-
Gantic development and power in a
little more than one hundred years,
owes its happiness to the stanch de-
Notion of its people to their institu-
| tions more than anything else.

Another False Alarm.

About o'clock on Saturday evening
the fire companies had the pleasure OF
turning out to false alarm from box
A. Scranton and Seventh streets. The
cause of il all was an individual who
had evidently never known that the
place for smoke to come was out Of a
chimney. and so when he saw Chim-
ney smoking. took it for granted that
where there was smoke there was fire,
and so turned in the alarm.

Soldiers Are Punished

WASHINGTON.-Major Macarthur
has taken. stern measures to prevent
the murder of innocent Filipinos by
American soldiers.
Secretary Root received from Cen
eral Macarthur report of a crime of
peculiar atrocity committed by Privates
Edward M. Brodie and James F. Cot
fee, of Troop c. of the Third Cavalry.
Brodie and Coffey were tried for muir
der and sentenced to be confined at
hard labor for life.
Commenting upon the case, General
Macarthur said: 1.-THE evidence upon
record is conclusive that they, In a
spirit of wantonness, murdered by
shooting a harmless boy whom they
met on the highway. The taking of
the life of this innocent being was un-
der circumstances as shown upon the
record crime of peculiar atrocity that
might be viewed with horror by the
most debased savage.
AS soldiers in the army of the United
States they should have been helpers
and defenders of the innocent. Return
ing alone from tour of detached
duty to the station of their troop, they,
in wantonness, perpetrated this crime
for which any penalty known to law
is not too great a punishment"

FILIPINOS FOR THE NAVY
Remey to Enlist Natives for Service on
Former Spanish Gunboats

WASHINGTON.-I have
been cabled by Secretary of the Navy
Long to Rear Admiral Remey, COM
mander-in-chief of the Asiatic station,
authorizing him to enlist five hundred
natives of the Philippines for service
on former Spanish gunboats and other
small vessels which are to be main
tanned exclusively in the Philippines.
These men will form the nucleus of
an important service composed solely
of enlisted men. Rear Admiral Crown
inshield, chief of the bureau Of navi-
cation, believes that, besides resulting
in the government obtaining efficient
service, the employment of natives will
spread respect for the American flag
and create a strong feeling of loyalty.
Reports received from Rear Admiral
Remey have shown that Americans,
especially those serving in the fire
rooms, become quickly debilitated and
it is necessary to send them to the
United States or Japan to recuperate.
1t is believed that the health of the
Filipinos will not suffer because they
are acclimated, and if they do become
i'll it will be an easy matter for them
to recover in the Philippines. No diff
Guilty will be experienced in obtaining
trained men.
