The extension of Fort street is a very
necessary city improvement. Not only
will it open out a large amount of prop
erty but it will serve as an outlet for
the large amount of traffic which comes
down Pauoa and has now to make it's
way into town via the very narrow and
unsatisfactory Pauoa Valley Road. If
the property holders assist the govern
ment the road might be cut through in
a few months. 1t is understood that
there are one or two land owners who
refuse to do anything and expect to
receive heavy damages for the road
cutting through their property. The
land holders ought to receive no dam
ages and should be glad to escape
heavy tax for betterments. The value
of the land will in all probability be
increased anywhere from fifty to
hundred per cent. A city government
could deal with the recalcitrant Lind
holders in a very much more summary
fashion, than can be done now.

One of these days there Win De
wild cry for military assistance from
one of the very people who are oppos-
ing the military. That there may have
been waste over the military does not
warrant the doing away with the mill
tary entirely. Every State and Terri
tory has its military organization. Ha-
wall is the only place where there is to
be no local military. However the
Senate's views have to be considered
yet. What goes in the House does not
necessarily become the absolute law
of the future. There vii. be a confer
ence committee 6ne of these days, if
the House ever gets it's bill to third

CHINA'S SAFETY.
In writing of the Chinese situation an
exchange says:

In writing of the Chinese situation an
exchange says:
IF China can float a loan in the
money centers of the Western world
and interest American, British, French,
German, and Russian financiers in her
securities, the surest guaranty against
Acknowledgement will have been obtain
ed. If China is wiped off the map as an
empire, her bonds will go out of exist
ence with her government. Turkey
would long ago have been demolished
had it not been that European bankers
held Turkish bonds, whose value would
have been destroyed with the end of the
Sultan'S reign in Europe. 1t was the
money power that saved Greece from
being overrun by Turkey in the late
war and annexed to the Sultans do
mains. Greece owed her deliverance to
her debts large debt to European
nations would be Chinas surest guar
anty of safety No nation whose capt.
talists held Chinese bonds would dare
countenance a policy favorable to the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the empire
There is a great deal of truth in this
idea. A big debt is sometimes the
greatest safeguard a weak nation can
have. The presidents quoted are cases
strongly in point. If Chinese bonds to
a large amount are issued, a consider
able share of them will come to the
United States, and the United States
will have a big say in China's future
fate.

Judge Kalua seems to have made a
break with regard to sentence for burg
larry. The matter has not yet been
officially reported so it cannot be judg-
ed why or how the break was made.
As to Judge Kalua keeping up the dig
nifty of his court, he is perfectly justi-
fed. There should always be respect
paid to the court, and in country dis
tricts the show of respect is apt to be
extremely lax.

Washington, March 13.-- Senator Platt
of Connecticut, author of the much dis
cussed Platt amendments. relating to
cuba which are just now theme of agi-
tation in Cuba, had a brief talk with
PTesiden Mckinley today regarding
cuba and later saw Secretary Root Mr..

Havana. concerning the amendments
bearing his name. declined to enter into
any discussion as ITO a particular criti-

Cuban leader but on the general sub

The Cubans will see i'm the end that
the amendments are as much in their in
terests as they are in the interests Of

emphasis to this particular conviction.
There may be at the start little Of
Tended dignity growing out of misappre-

no doubt that the Cubans will ultimately
see the sincerity of purpose which has
actuated us in framing these amend
ments, alike in their interests and in the
interest of this country"

WAS DESTROYED.
Cred w. Schuer Says That 1t Was
Made In 1896, and lie Was One
of the Devisees.

Frederick W. Scheuer fled in the dis
hct court to-day a petition for the pro-
bate of the will of the late Charles COL
bert and accompanied it With request
to be aopoints d administrator OF the es-
tate Alons with the document were a
lot of objections to thu petition tor the
probate of the will filed a few days ago

er. The papers of Mr.. Scheuer are fcIi
of surprises. the petition for PROBATE AZ
leging the disappearance or destruction
of will made by Colbert in 1886. 1t Is
this will which the petitioner asks to
have admitted to probate.
Scheuer alleges in his petition that Col
bert died leaving property and cash
worth $4,000. He alleges that Colbert
left a will bearing date about the year
1896, adding that, although diligent
search for the document has been made
in places where it would likely be, or
ought to be- it cannot be found. He
therefore alleges that the will is lost
or has been destroyed. He further al
leges that no one is named in the lost
will as executor of the estate, and that
he. Frederick Scheuer. aged about -
years. residing at So East Park street,
in this city. and Lillian Burton, II years
old residing at 1922 Delaware avenue.

heater and one John Doe, whose true
name is to the petitioner unknown: that
at the time the vii! was executed the
testator was g. years old and was of
sound mind and did not act under duress,
menace fraud or undue influence.
In the objection document Lillian Fluke
joins Mr.. Scheuer in opposing the pro-
bate of the Lippincott-W oolbeater Will.
They say that will is not the last will and
testament of Charles Colbert: that Col
bert never signed his name to it or au-
thorized any one else to do it for him:
that at the time the will is alleged to
have been executed by Colbert, to-wit:
on February Il. 1901. Colbert was men,
