IT IS THOUGHT in some quarters that
the dark cloud which has so long hung
over South Africa il about to break and
that a thin film is all that now inter-
noses between the silver lining. That
such may prove correct is the wish oil
all who have watched this senseless
conflict during the years ii. has wsged-
se1seless and cruel on the part of q
Or lat nation and suicidal on the part OF
another, no mater If right was on its
side. But while pacific signs have ap-
reared 10 the South African skies
another cloud is said to be rising over
the Ottoman empire, and the impress
sion prevails that the Sultan is about to
declare a holy war. This, 1t is said,
will be precipitated by the Macedonian
and Bulgarian upheavals. II the con-
sequences of such movements were
con6oed to the parties engaged In
them 1t would be serious enough, but
the likelihood OF embroiliug European
nations in their wars makes the situ.
alton critical. OF course any nation
that undertakes to act as mediator will
be regarded with suspicion by some who
are eudeavoring to preserve the iuteg-
rity OF the Ottoman empire with the
purpose of keeping Russia out OF Con-
s,aurinople. Hence there is every rea-
son other countries will cross swords
should tAe ensign OF the prophet be
hoist sd again.

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL IA, 1902

MAI L1TrLEToN w. WALLER, OF the
Marine Corps, has been acquitted at
Manila by the court'martlsl wnicn
tried him upon charges ofhaving caused
the execution of natives of Samsr with
out trial. The court stood eleven TO
two for Maj. Walters acquittAl. The
charge against Maj. Waller was that,
while lying sick, he had ordered eleven
natives, who had acted as guides to
Walters forces across the island, taken
out aud shot. The ground for this &C.
tIon was the claim that the natives had
proved treacherous to the Americans,
resulting 10 terrible hardships and the
death of a number OF marines. He
made no denial of the killing, but
sImply claimed he acted within orders
of Gen. Smith and that he had aDun-
dant precedent for executions without
trial. The War Department officials
seek D defend General Smith, notWith'
standing the statement OF Msjor Wal
Ter that his instructions were to kill
and burn" 1t is annoying to them
that the Smith. Waller developments
should come so soon after General
Miles had stated that the war was be-
ing conducted in the Philippines with
marked severity" a statement criti-
cised by Secretary Root. The depart
mept is now placed on the defensive
and the action of the Manila court
martial will reflect no credit upon the
members thereof and upon the United
States army 10 the Philippines.

AS HAD BEEN anticipated, Rev. L
Dewitt Talmage, probably the besI
known pulpit orator in the United
States, died at his residence 10 Wash.
iuRton on Saturday night. He had been
unconscious for several days, and the
physicians and watchers at his bedside
had been awaiting the end. The de-
ceased, In pecuniary point of view,
had been more successful than any
other man 10 the ministry. Besides his
salary az a minister of the gospel he
derived large income from lectures,
writings, editorial services and the pub.
LEGATION OF books. Over twenty years
ago he made a tour of England and
Ireland and his lectures pettsd him
about 1000. TIE EOglish people,
however, soon tired of him, and his last
appearance, which was In Liverpool,
was a dismal failure, and the agent was
compelled to refund a part of the
money. The Eoglish and Irish had
formed an erroneous conception OF Tai
mage. Most of them imagined he was
a man OF deep spirituality. When they
found his lectures we're on everyday
topics interspersed with humor and drs-
matte attitudes they lost interest 10 him.
The tremendous crowds be drew at first
soon melted down and be ceased to be

however, he for years attract ID very
large audiences.

CAB DRIVERS COMPLAIN.
Want to Increase Carriage Rate Be
cause of High Price of Feed.

W. E. Thomas of 241 18th street north
west has written to the District Commits
sioners declaring that, under a recent or
der put in effect at the 9th street paSSen-
ger station, the Pennsylvania Cab COM
pany has rights which other cabs do not
have He declares the agents of the rail-
road company are allowed to solicit for
their cabs. while the public vehicle drivers
have not that privilege. Mr.. Thomas also
| requests permission for the cab drivers to
charge higher rates on account of the in
crease in the price of feed.
When oats were from % to 30 cents a
bushel," he says, ''and corn $1.75 to $3.50
barrel, we had the same rate that ap-
plies now, and for months we have had to
pay Go to so cents a bushel for oats, and
$3.50 to S4.2o barrel for corn, with no tn
crease in the carriage rate. There has been
prepared bill by the hack inspector and
approved by the ma jor of police last spring
which is a fair rate and all that has been
wanting is some action by your honorable
body, which / hope you will grant the poor
drivers and owners of teams
Mr.. Thomas communication was referred
through the police depa rtment to A. K.
Lamb, the hack inspector, who has sub
mitted a report in which he says:
The employees Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company have not been and are not
now violating, the laws or regulations as
understand therng The only public space
with its cab service is upon that portion
of street Immediately west of the sta
tfon which was at one time set apart by
police regulation for the exclusive use of
its cabs. The right to such exclusive use
of the public space was, however, denied
by Judge Scott of the Police Court more
than year ago in the case of the District
of Columbia against James Smith Since
this decision the drivers of other public
vehicles have enjoyed equal privileges with
those of the company and the stand has
been maintained in the same manner as
have all other stands
inside the depot, upon property wholly
controlled by the company, the employees
DO solicit patronage for the cabs operated
by the company, but no unnecessary noise
Is made and l do not know of any law to
prevent this practice. The enforcement at
the depots of the police regulation prohib-
ltlng soliciting of patronage by the drivers
OF public vehicles has brought quiet and
eood order in place of a very noisy. dis
orderly demonstration which before greet
ed every passenger that appeared, and l
nave been Informed by many drivers that
they get as many jobs as they did before
ana that they are glad the regulation is
being inforced.'
Inc Commissioners have taken no action
WIN regard to the proposed increase in the
cab rates ' "
