SECRETARY sHAws INQUIRY.

washington Cor. Chicago Tribune. 7
Some days ago Secretary Shaw sent
out circular letter addressed to the
women who complained about the
abuses in the examination OF baggage
by custom house officers. The letter
from the secretary of the treasury
asked each person who made a protest
to answer series of questions which
were rather searching in their charac-
ter. AS reply to this circular letter
the secretary of the local committee of
women has sent to Secretary Shaw a
general letter which contains some
rather sharp criticisms on the action of
the department. For instance, the
statement of the women says:
"These questions appear to me to be
in the nature of a cross examination of
the women who signed that petition,
apparently for the purpose of enabling
you to judge whether or not they Were
justified in so signing it. OF course, all
of us desire TO show the department
the courtesy of affording 1t such infor-
nation as may be i'm our possession
but most of your questions seem to us
to be quite beside the mark, for the
thing of Importance here is not the in
formation which may be in our possess

sion, but, rather, what action do you
propose to take upon the information
which is already in the possession of
your department."
In its conclusion the letter says:
1T is not for us to say how you
should administer the law. We are not
charged with its administration, but it
seems Go us proper to point out to you,
as we have pointed out in our petition,
wherein the regulations of your de-
partment constitute an ofense.
If you should desire to cross exam
inc the petitioners, or such of them as
can be got at as your letter appears to
indicate. and you will arrange for Il
hearing for that purpose. and will al
low some counsel to be selected by us
to be present. and will also submit your
subordinate officials and the customs
officials in New York to this cross
examination, we shall be happy to meet
YOU, and we feel sure that any doubt
which the department may have as to
the existence of it's own regulations or
their operation would in that way be
effectively cleared up. and we think al
so the unreasonableness of both of
those regulations and of the law itself
would be clearly demonstrated"

rRouBLE IN SPAIN.

Spain appears to be in the throes OF
a revolution, and preparations are be-
ing made to enforce martial law. That
means temporary government by the
sword. The people have long been res
tive under present conditions, and Ia
Dor troubles now fan the flame of dis
content. While Spain is a kingdom it
has a sort of showing of representative
government Every two or three years
the rulers of that country think it well
to dissolve the cortes or parliamentary
body and hold an election. But these
elections are farcical and do not bring
out just results. There is never any
doubt that the government will win
The fact is that while the people of
and would be democratic in fact of they
could, they are ruled by an oligarchy of
politicians, priests and soldiers, who
govern with an iron hand. They man
ipulate the votes of the electors TO suit
their selfish purposes. The people are
chatting under these conditions and any
discord. whether labor troubles or
something else, fans the flames of rev.
olution.
The question is whether people of
this progressive and enlightened era
will continue to live under a load of OPP
preston, whether Spain will have vital
force enough to emerge from her deca-
dence with new life and vigor. She has
a proud record among the nations of
the world as pathfinder in commerce
and conquest, and with juster rulers
and higher ideals of life she may again
gain a good position; but it will be nee
essary to have a regeneration, and it is
possible that she is now on the eve of
an important change.

condition that on noncompliance with
