G~ALVESTON's SITUATION.
PathOs of 1t Increased by Rapacity
of BOndhOIders.
Kansas City Star.

liz ny 0N8A"
A most pathetic sequel to the great Gal
weston disaster of September, 1900. is the
confessed bankruptcy of that city. The
keen humiliation which this situation i'm
measured only by the civic pride which,
under normal conditions, placed the city
securities at a high premium, the last
bonds having sold at ia. Yet it is not to
the discredit of the citizens of Galveston
that they acknowledge their inability to
meet the demands of the interest on their
bonded Indebtedness. On the contrary,
their Willingness to meet all the obligations
if possible has shown the highest kind Of
civic character.
While ii is true that some of the people
who hold Galveston bonds are dependent
on the interest to furnish them a liveli-
hoOd-several widows having invested their
all in these securities-the position of these
holders is not to be compared to the great
sacrifice imposed on the people of Calves
ton. Under the circumstances, the commit
tee of bondholders has been cruelty severe
and eXacting. AS pointed out by the editor
of the Galveston News, If the whole city
mad been destroyed, the bonds would have
been worthless, therefore it is but right
that the holders of these securities should
help TO bear the burdens of the partial de-
struction. 1t is almost an insult to pro-
pose that 2 per cent. of the accrued interest
be deferred for five years. provided that it
be compounded in the meantime.
There is more than a moral reason why
the bOndholders should bear a part OF the
loss. 1t is estimated that one-third of the
property OF the city was destroyed by the
storm and food. The population. through
the destruction of 5000 lives and the emf
grafton Of many of the inhabitants, has
been reduced one-third. The original in
debtedness was assumed by the whole pop
ulatiOn and was TO be assessed on the
total and ~unimp3ired property. Is il legal
ly. the duty OF the remaining people Of
Galveston. holding What is left of their
property, 10 pay the debt assumed by the
greater population and based on the earn
ing power of the city before 1t was visited
by unavoidable disaster
Under the circumstances the country will
not only have great sympathy for the city.
but there will be an almost unanimous
conviction that the bondholders should
help TO bear the burdens imposed on II.

spain Wants to Know Her Friends.

MADRID, Feb. 1S.-In the Senate to-day
Senior Labra questioned the government
concerning the statements made in the
British Parliament and ia the newspapers
In regard 70 the support the powers are
supposed to have given Spain at the out
break OF the war with the United States.
The senator said he asked for Information
on the subject so that Spain might better
know her friends and enemies. The foreign
minister, the Duke Of AlmodOvar, declared
that the reports relating 10 Intervention
on the part of the powers came as a COM
plete surprise to him If there was any
thing relating to the matter which ought to
be known the government would make a
point of informing the Senate.

RUSSIA IN CHINA.
The Bear Is Withdrawing the Veil
from His Asiatic Plans.

Chicago Journal.
Russia is Withdrawing the veil from her
plans of operation in the far East, though
even a careless observer of the trend of
affairs there could scarcely have overlooked
the fact that she intends to maintain Man
churia as a closed market so far as the
rest of the world is concerned. The dip
lomatic agents of Great Britain, Japan and
the United States are now disregarding
Muscovite pretensions and openly fighting
the consummation Of the Russo-Chinese
treaty, which practically gives the Cars
subjects a monopoly In the development
of M~anchuria, the most fertile of all the
fields in China that have been opened to
foreign enterprise. The Russian govern
ment, on the one hand disclaiming official
knowledge and responsibility concerning
the agreement with NJ. Pocatillo, the
shrewd and trusted agent of the Car and
manager of the Russo-Chinese ban, is ne
gOtiating, on the other insists that this
contract and the Manchurian treaty shall
be signed simultaneously The agreement,
il appears, stipulates that all railway and
mining development in the peninsula shall
be in the hands OF China, which shall first
apply to the bank for the money needed
in the enterprises before seeking financial
assistance in any other quarter of the
globe.
This all Is merely illustrative of Rus
sia's whole campaign in China. Despite the
perfervid attempts Of the Empress to in
g~ratiate herself in the regard of the for
eign representatives, her court is iliumined
by influences exerted from st. Petersburg.
Japan rightfully hoped for much in the way
OF increasing trade following the remarka-
bly, quick manner in which she punctured
the bubble Of Chinese naval and military
pretensiOn, but can gain no ear at Picking.
Even Great Britain and America are put
of with promises that are broken with
impunity whenever the Car mods mis- head.
1t will be interesting to note how long the
concord of nations will last before the
overweening desire OF the Slavs TO estab-
fish a new empire i'm Asia will lead to open
rupture Of relations that seem peaceable
enough If viewed only from the standpoint

IMMIGRATION PROPHECY.
What the Descendants OF Foreigner
Who Come Here Will Do I'm 1860.
Harper's Weekly.

HarperS Weekly
Assistant Commissioner OF immigration
McSweney prophesies that. unless the TIDE
of immigration be checked. within two gem
erations foreigners will control this coun-
try. If Mr.. McSweeney thinks that the alien
remains an irreducible element after pass
ing through inspection, classification ana
fumigation at Ellis island he does not give
due credit TO the processes which he helps
TO superintend. Thousands OF the children
of those who come here in the steerage OF
a transatlantic liner go TO Europe IN the
cabin. TO be regarded as representative
American citizens. 1t takes only a Few
years to give TO the alien the right TO vote
and TO hold every office in the country ex-
cept one.
If Mr.. insolvency will take the trouble TO
follow the foreigners after they land he Will
see them Joining political professions and
hear them inquiring how soon they may
vote. In this country IL requires little more
than two generations Of continuous resi-
dence to transform a batch of immigrants
into an old American family. There viii
arrive here in the year 1860, by water or air,
many thousands of foreigners. Whoever
presides on Ellis island at that day may
well content himself in peace. for no army
of aliens will go to welcome the reinforce
ments. Instead there will be citizens. de-
scendants OF the immigrants of this present
year and Of later years, who will mildly
wonder If it is not time to have a country
exclusively for the use of Americans.

quarters To New York.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-President Johnson,
OF the American League. asserted to-day
that while he was well pleased with Chi
cago. circumstances may compel him to
locate the headquarters of the league in
New York. According to Mr.. Johnson, the
move will not be from choice, but from
necessity. The removal of our headquar-
tiers to New York might mean much to
the American League" said President
Johnson. Had L been located in New York
or in the East last year there is hardly a
doubt but that we would now have had
a club in New York. There is not the
slightest doubt that we will finally have
a club in New York and by moving down
there matters might be facilitated. L have
a plan which 1 am not ready TO give out
yet as / want the directors Of the league
to pass on it. 1t is for the club owners to
say whether or not we should have our
headquarters in the East. This Will posi-
lively be settled at the meeting in Detroit,
