AcuNaLDo's SUBMISSION.

The Official announcement that Agui-
naldo has taken the oath Of allegiance
10 the United States. is good news
from a far country" 1t gives assur-
ance that order and free government
WIN soon be established In the Philip
pines thus ending organized war and
securing the supremacy of this nation
IN those Islands. And It gives evidence
Of good sense on the part Of the rebel
chief. who now sees the folly OF fur
Their resistance and doubtless has OBJ
tolned better idea than he ever en-
tertained before, OF the benefits that his
country will derive from present sub
mission and the future liberties which
II will thereby secure.
Agulnaldo can do more, perhaps,
than any other Filipino towards recon-
cling the natives to American govern
ment. For that work he may earn his
freedom, with honors and distinction
under the new conditions, With the
full establishment Of American sover-
eighty in the Philippines, will come
opportunities for native participation in
all the affairs OF the archipelago. And
there win also be a shining prospect
OF self-government, TO the same extent,
al least. as that In the Territories and
eventually In the States Of the Union.
For some time to come there viii be
outbreaks from brigand and guerilla
bands In various parts OF the islands.
But with the full allegiance OF Aguinal-
do will come submission from other
men OF influence among the tribes, and
the Stars and Stripes will float over the
entire archipelago, q sign OF personal
freedom to all It's people who obey the
laws, and a promise Of that liberty for
which they struggled against the OBJ
noxious yoke Of Spain.
The capture Of Aguinaldo was a great
ieat for which Brigadier General F'uns-
ton deserves all the praise and rewards
mat are being layished upon him. The
submission of Aguinaldo to the author
lily Of the United States Is a conse-
quence Of that achievement. and TO be
counted IN the grand results effected
thereby 1t is one OF the great events
OF the opening century. and win so fg-
ure In the history Of the age. what
10 DO with Aguinaldo," Is a problem
very much simpliAed by the step he has
laken' The dove Of peace is lowering
over the Philippines.

RUSSIA THREATENS CHINA.

The Chinese embrogllo has assumed
the character Of a controversy between
China and Russia instead Of between
the former country and the concert
Of powers. Russia Is insisting on
China signing the treaty giving away
the province Of Manchlria, and China,
encouraged by other powers to resist,
refuses to comply with Russa's de-
mauds. The negotiations have been
carried on to a point where diplomatic
relations may be interrupted, unless
one or the other OF the two countries
recedes from the position so far main
talned.
The question now Is. win Russia
yield? China has not much to risk by
her refusal to sign. The die Of China
is cast. Russia. however, is taking
desperate chances she declares that
her intentions are to maintain the in
tegrlty OF the Chinese empire, but she
refuses TO disclose the precise terms Of
the agreement" she is endeavoring TO
force upon China. She presses her de-
mands at the risk Of hostility with the
most powerful nations Of Europe and
especially with Japan, a country that
Is spelling for a fight. should Russia
allow the present controversy TO reach
the critical point, war might ensue,
in which the division OF China might
temporarily be postponed.
The immediate developments in east
ern Asia must be looked forward TO
with intense interest. Interruption
OF diplomatic relations does not neces-
sarlly mean declaration Of war, but in
this case the probability is that is would
mean the seizure Of Manchurla by Rus
sla without further formalities.
To those who view the worlds history
in the light shed upon 1t by revelation,
ancient and modern, the current events
are OF peculiar interest They know
that wars and rumors Of wars are
among the signs preceding a most
momentous epoch. They are admon-
ished by them TO diligence and watch
fulness, to soberness and earnestness
They are inspired to faithful work and
TO hope for the final overthrow Of the
powers Of darkness error and injustice,
ana the triumph Of truth and light. For
that win be the outcome OF the COM
motions among the nations Of the earth.
No matter how slow the process seems
To- be, the final outcome rests in the
hands Of Him who directs all toward
His own ends and purposes.
