The pleasant news comes from London
today that the efforts OF Ambassador
Choate and others have baeu successful
and that the grace of King EdEard will
now release Florence NaybrIck from prison
and restore her TO sunlight and society.
The public Of this country and OF Great
Britain has always looked upon the con-
victicn and sentence Of this unfortunate
young woman as uniustifed By The evi-
denee in her case. Testimony which went

OF poisoning was an arsenic fend was
not given proper weight at the t~iaI. Since
then fresh evidence has been found concIu-
sive OF the fact that the dead Maybrick
was unGuesUonabIy victim OF the arsenic
habit Such knowledge tends 10 strongly
support the theory Of rhe widows iuno-
cenae- Even those who are not satisfied
that she is guiltless VIII gree that the
chances are she is and. Therefore II would
be cruel 10 punish her beyond the fourteen
years or such a matter she has already
spent behind the bars.

The Cuban Question.

The most unmistakable hints Oh the part
OF the Administration do not seem 10 have
been sufficient to wake our Cuban friends
10 the necessity for a Constitution that
VIII protect the interests Of the United
States as well as the liberties Of the island.
Probably this means mat the Constitution
al Convention VIII more or less sulIenIy
ignore the broad suggestions of duty which
have been showered upon them for two or
three weeks last past
Perhaps with a view to meet Cuban OBJ
5cctioas, the adherents OF the Administra-
ton are casting about for some means of
evading the Teller resolution OF 1898, of
the authorship of which historical docu-
nent the Colorado statesman ought hearth
y to repent. It is an annoying obstruc-
ton il the path OF peace in Cuba: but we
are unable to think that the Official Jug
glcrs are making much progress in getting
ii out Of the way. Their latest argument
strikes US as particularly weak one. Il
is that. since. by the terms of the Treaty OF
Paris. the United States is TO occupy the
island. this Government viii, during such
occupation, discharge the obligations arts
ing under international law as a result
from the fact OF occupation. IN Article
WI the treaty says.

The contention IS made By the Admin

serve faith toward other countries. before
executing the final cut and scuttle. is a
fimsy one What that advice clause
means is q promise by the negotIators of
