TOO PRETIOUS."

Some remarks of DIR. Jacob g. Schurman. the
president of Cornell University. before the Re
form Club of Boston the other evening seem
10 have caused n considerable recrudeScence of
enthusiasm among those 'anti-imperialists'
whose efforts have tended 10 incite Filipino
rebels and brgands 10 hold out against the
lawful authority of the United States. The
speech is hailed a repudiation and cOndem-
nation of the governments policy in the Philip
pines and as a demand that steps he at once
taken for suTrenderng 10 the rebels and with
drawing from the islands; and it is pointed
out that such an utterance is the more signifi-
cant and weighty because it is made by the
man who was selected by the President 10 be
the head of the first Philippine Commission.
We have no special knowledge of what was
in Dr. Schurman's mind of the impression
which he desired to convey; but after perusaI
of the text of his address are inclined TO
think that such interpretations of it as those
which we have cited are in current phrase
somewhat too previous We cannot find his
reported declaration that when he became presi-
dent of the first Philippine Commission he told
the President of the United States he did not
believe in the administrations policy. and we
must decline TO believe he made any such dec
laration first because it is nconceivable that
President Mckinley should have appointed a
man to carry out policy in which that man
dc not believe and second, because il is incon-
eeivable that DIR. Schurman should not have
believed In policy which he himself describes
as Humanitarian, altruism caring for the hap
''piness of Others philanthropy relieving the
'-Filipinos OF oppression and comforting on them
''the blessings of liberty"
Neither does IL seem credible that the sneaker
meant to yindicate 10 approve in any WAY
the rebellion of Aguinaldo or the guerilla war
fare maintained by a few tribes since Agui
naldo's capture, or TO Intimate that the uprising
against the Spaniards in 1896 and the outbreak
against the United States in 1899 were national
movements for independence. On the contrary.
Dr. schurman explicitly reported to the Presi-
dent on November 2, 1899, after his service and
observation as head of the Philippine Commits
sion. that there was no Filipino nation but
only congeres Of different tribes; that there
was no thought OF independence I'm the revolt
OF 1896 nor until some time after our CAPTURE
OF Manila; that when that thought did finally
arise Ii was because "Aguinaldo took the re-
"sponsibility of promising it TO his people on
~behalf OF the American government, although
-he admitted freely in private that neither

aim mot the liberty of the Filipino peoples

''despotic power" and that there is no course

war until the insurgents are reduced to sub

But however DR.. Schurman's remarks may
have been misnterpreted by some with whom
the wish father to the thought, the ques-
ton inevitably arises whether the terse slang
already quoted in respect 10 those interpreta-
tiOns does not come unpleaSantly near to being
applicable TO more than one current discussion
of Philippine affairs DR. Schurman in his Bos-
ton speech stated that the first Philippine Com
mission-0f which he was the head-"stimulated
the formation of the autonomist party which
party is now committed to the scheme of secur-
ing the incorporation of the Philippines into
the United States integral part OF TINS
Union DR. Schurman very properly declares
such a scheme to he impractiCable, inadmis-
sibe and impossible. But if so extravagant
project has arisen. directly or indirectly, from
the seed personally sOwn in those Islands by
DR.. Schurman during his service there as COM
missioner. one hesitates TO think what worse
errors might be inspired by Filipino mlsunder-
standings of garbled reports of utterances ten
thousand miles away. DIR. Schurman has well
said that. matter what the future OF the
Philippines may be. first duty Is TO suppress
the insurrection of brigands, robbers and others.
1t will be well for all men 10 bear that in mind,
and to realize that any too previous discus
sion of the after status of the islands may be
construed by the insurgents as an encourage
ment to further resistance and thus be deplor-
ably calculated to defeat or TO postpone the
very end which they have in view.

Much food for thought-strOng meat too; not

which Charles A Gardiner made before the
New-York Credit Mems Association last even

ing's Tribune. The commercial as well as the
political expansion of the United States is SUBJ
ject 10 which Mr.. Gardiner has given much re-
search and consideration, and his suggestions of
ways In which such expansion may be effected
will command attention even where they may
not all meet with approval. His general pro-

Newport, r. J., Jan p (Specia)-The most I'M

is that of A C. Vanderbilt. who has taken OF
the Pinard cottages. one Of the sights of Newport,
owned by John Pinard. of New-YOrk City. The cot

monies in June when they will return 70 this cOun-

Mr. Vanderbilt is having extensive improvements
made at his farm at Portsmouth few miles out
from this city. The handsome farmhouse IS being
enlarged, and entire new story is being added.
The pavilion used for dancing at the numerous
functions given by the Vaaderbilts at the farm Is
also being enlarged. Mr. Vanderbilt has given
orders TO Increase his private polo field TO the
lation size and il is expected that the field viii be
used 10 a great extent next season by Mr.. Wander
bit and his friends before the regular polo season

of protection: to establish free trade with Can
ada as a step preliminary to annexation OF that
country; to give Cuba generous reciprocity
with a view to that islands one day becoming
not part of this Union, but one of It's lnsuiar
possessions; TO develop the Monroe Doctrine
through increasing trade with Latin America, so
that 1t will mean not only America for Amerl-
cans, but also American commerce for Amerl-
cans and to bend every energy toward winning
and holding paramount place upon that com
mercial battle-ground of the world the Paclnc

The last three of these items are to be COM
mended to thoughtful consideration. and will be
applauded by many who will not agree with the
other parts of Mr. Gardeners scheme. Concern
ing Cuba, 1t is difficult to see how any Ameri-
can citizen who has the honor and welfare of
his country at heart can fail to agree with Mr..
Gardiner in regarding commercial reciprocity
with that island as a necessity, and annexation
of it as a State of this Union as something to
be averted and forbidden Readers of The Trib-
une will not need to be reminded that we have
for many years urged that, instead of leaving
the Monroe Doctrine political and diplomatic

AMBASSADOR WHITE RESIGNS,
Our Representative to Germany to
Quit His Post Early in
November.

Berlin, Aug. 6.-Ambassador White
mailed his resignation to the United
States several days ago. 1t is to take
effect early in November.
Mr.. Whites resignation may now be
in the hands of President Roosevelt.
The date set by the ambassador for
his resignation to go into effect was
November Z. He is now at Homburg,
where he is taking the waters and
where he probably will remain till the
end of the month. There is much Cos
sip at Berlin concerning Mr.. Whites
probable successor, and one circum-
stantial story is that the president in
tends to transfer Ambassador Tower
from ST. Petersburg to Berlin, Minis
ter Storer from Spain to be ambas-
sador to Russia, and to appoint Henry
White, now secretary of embassy at
London, as minister to Spain. Mr..
Tower, who has been dissatisfied with
st. Petersburg, expressed months ago
a wish to be transferred to some other
equally desirable post, preferably Ber-
lin.

KNOX is ASSAULTED.
Attorney General Is Mixed Up in a
Restaurant Row at Atlantic
City.


Philadelphia, Aug, s.-The North
American this morning publishes re-
port from Atlantic City that Attorney
General Knox was assaulted. The
story is in part:
Attorney General Knox was the vic
tim of an attack here late last night in
the cafe of a hotel. The cause of the
assault on Mr.. Knox was his attitude
against the trusts. His assailants
were Charles T. Schoen, the multimil-
ionaire of Philadelphia and Pitts
burg; Theodore Cramp, the Philadel-
phia shipbuilder, and Mr.. Stevenson,
also well known in Philadelphia.
To representative of the press
Mr.. Knox confirmed the report that
he had had personal difficulty with
a party of men in Atlantic City last
Wednesday night.
"It was one of those disagreeable incl
dents that sometimes occur in restaurant
or other public place. Accompanied by
Mrs. Knox, my daughter and two or three
friends, including District Attorney
Youngs, of Pittsburg, l was dining in the
restaurant of the Garden hotel. A party
of men, none of whom knew, seated them
selves at an adjoining table. Their con-
duct was unseemly and boisterous. They
