The Venice incident is very regrettable
but as yet we have only heard the worst
aide OF the case for the American naval off,
GERS and sailors. 1t is clear that they were
engaged in a hilarious frolic on shore and
that they got into fight with the Venetian
police. 1t is not an uncommon occurrence
for the sailors OF any navy on shore leave
I'm a foreign city TO become gay and get
into trouble with local authorities, but Off
GERS ought TO be above that sort Of busi-
ness. In the present case the offenders
seem to have been severely punished. and
IT may turn out that they have been too
harshly treated. though it must be remem-
bered that strangers visitors in a for
tign country are always subject to local
Laws

gers, of Washington, alleged ballot-box
suffers, who jumped their bail. in 1899. and
have since been fugitives from justice, to-
day surrendered to the court.
Meeser, who was employed in the copy

and Rogers, who was a lieutenant Of the
Capital police were members of an alleged
gang of fourteen repeaters who came from
Washington to vote at the November cleo
ton when James NJ. Barnett, Republican,

headed the ticket for state treasurer. The
men were taken 10 the Seventh ward and
are alleged to have placed 200 fraudulent
votes in the ballot box in one division.

Probably there has never been in Con-
gress a more contemplate exhibition of
small partisanship than the Democratic OBJ
jections to a resolution expressing the
thanks Of Congress to Secretary Hay for
his Mckinley memorial address. The ad-
dress was an exceptionally fine one, and
as literary production il has seldom been
equaled on any similar occasion. 1t could
not outline McKinley's life, character and
public services without referring in some
degree to his political views. but this was
done very carefully. Yet on two different
occasions Democrats in the House have
raised objections to vote of thanks to
the secretary. 1t illustrates the incurable
smallness OF Bourbonism.

The report of the chairman OF the House
naval committee dlscloses what seems to
be Teaa point in our navy. namely. the
small number of battleships real fight
ing machines. OF l9S ships OF different
classes that constitute our present navy,
Including ships under way, only forty-six
are what are called ships os the battle line.
and OF these only eighteen are first-class
battleships Gunboats. torpedo boats. etc.
do not count very much in the aggregate
strength of a navy. AS all our future wars
are likely TO be naval wars that branch of
the service should be considerably strength
ened. and a period OF peace is the time
TO do II.

Jail Sentences i'm Venice.
NEW YORK, April 29.-According to the
Rome correspondent of the Tribune, officers
of the cruiser Chicago, just sentenced for
disorderly conduct, will appeal their cases
and then ask for pardon from the King.
Commander Beehler, the American naval
attache at Rome, visited the minister of
marine, intending to express his regret over
the behavior of the officers of the Chicago,
but the minister, approaching his en-
barrassing position, avoided the subject
and expressed his admiration of the Amer
lean navy.
Later in the day il was reported that the
United States minister would not interfere
in the case of the imprisoned marines, but
it was anticipated in official circles that
King Victor Emmanuel will pardon the pris-
oners.
Captain Robert Francis Wynne, one of
the American officers arrested at Venice,
was appointed second lieutenant in the ma
rine corps, later joining the District regi-
ment Immediately after war with Spain
was declared. He was in the fight at Guam
tanamo and won distinction there and else
where in Cuba. He was then assigned to
the Oregon and later was assigned to the
Philippines. where he had hard service,
chiefly in the nature OF outpost duty; was
in the battle OF Novelette,, where ne ac-
quilted himself with great credit He was
sent with the marines TO China, under Maj
Waller, during the siege of the legations,
and was in the five days march TO Tien-
Tsin. Major Waller recommended him for
bravery. For fourteen hours during the
battle of Tien-Tsin he was under fire, and
Colonel Meade recommended him for gal
lantry. He was in the march to Peking
and was made ranking fleet officer in recog-
milton Of his fine service.

on by an army officer soon after his arrival
