EUROPE AND THE RUHANTAN NOTE.

European comments upon Secretary Hays
note concerning the Rumanan Jews are varied.
In England they are, of course chiefly favor
able and commendatory the one exception
noted being not of the first importance or
marked with discreet information. Nothing
could be more unwarranted than the covert
sheer of The st. Jamess Gazette" that while
the United States is solicitous for the Ruma-
MAN Jews it is unwilling to welcome them. In
telligent perusal of Secretary Hays note should
have made such utterance impossible The
United States is willing to welcome all the
Jews of Rumania who may come hither volun-
tarily and in full competence Of mind, body and
estate 1t does not welcome single immigrant
of any race or creed from any land who is
sound incompetent and sent hther against
his will
The remark of the "Vossische Zeitung,' of
Germany, that this note marks startling new
departure for the United States is by no means
iudcious AS we pointed out on Friday, with
citations from the record, there is no new de-
parture. There is merely further and more
vigorous pursuance of long and well estab-
lshed line of policy. Nor is this action an
attempt at intrusion into the European Con-
cert or at medding with European domestic
notifies II is 10 intrusion into OF meddling
with mans private affairs to demand that he
shall fulfil his obligations TO his neighbors.
Still more mistaken is the Austrian jew
batting .Deutsches Eolksblatt' in its inept
reference TO the Monroe Doctrine as barring
this country from the right to take such action.
Within the last fortnight the United States has
let it be seen most clearly that the Monroe
Doctrine does not annul the comfy of nations.
or prevent European powers from getting re-
dress for grievances imposed upon them by
American States The 'Neueste Nachrchten,
a German Jew-baiting paper, with what 1t prob
ably regards as crushing or at least whitening
sarcasm. demands to know why the United
Estates does not tackle Russia, which treats
1.-The Jews much worse" The threefold answer
should be obvious to even a blind jew batter.
Russia is not under such treaty guarantees and
bonds as Rumana is: she does not now treat
the Jews worse than or so badly as Rumania
does and finally the United States has tackled"
Russia on that subject, and not 1T is to be be-
Iieved without effect
Such are the least inconsderable of the hos
tile comments upon Secretary Hays note. We
are inclined to think that judicious observers
will regard them with satisfaction. If no more
effective attacks than these be made upon
1t. the position of the United States in this
matter is indeed impregnable.

TREA SURES TO DREAM ABOUT.

Unfortunate victims of INSCRIPTIONS lawyers
are still hopeful of obtaining mythical millions
in England and on the Continent of Europe.
Proof has been heaped on proof almost to the
height of Pelion OH Ossa that no such unclaimed
properties of huge proportions exist anywhere
ON earth. These oversanguine heirs Of Queen
Nab fantasies should advise their attorneys to
take journey to the moon or to some distant
planet and to collect their contingent fees when
they come back with the treasures which they
have secured. either in cash or in easily nego-
table securities.
The Anneke JAMS gold brick" has been de-
cided by the concurrent action of the courts to
be the cheapest of brass; and so of scores or
similar schemes. Neither in the British Court
of Chancery nor anywhere else in the Old
World or the New are there huge fortunes I'D
unclaimed estates TO be obtained by litigation
Melancholy is the fate of those who put their
trust in plans to get possession of such rainbow
pots of gold.

already invested in the latter's expeditions
have already borne valuable fruit. They have
not been altogether wasted. But tri1ing ad-
dition TO them now may yield results all out
of proportion to the new expenditure.
Obviously. the sooner this matter is con-
sidered and disposed of the better. II Com
mander Peary is to try again for the Pole, he
will want TO begin preparations Immediately.
The new expedition must be carefully planned.
This is one OF the essentials of success. A fresh
application must be made to the Navy Depart
ment for leave OF absence. Finally a public
announcement of Peary's intentions at an early
day would exert more or less influence on
others who may desire to undertake similar
venture Courtesy would probably restrain
them from taking active steps if they knew
with certainty that he expected to go North once
more In the near future whereas they would
push their own projects theoretically If they
were assured that the coast was clear. Peary
himself would be reluctant to pursue dog
in tie manager policy, although his past work
and the creation of special facilities for e1-
ploration within the Arctic Circle give him
strong claim TO precedence at present. Nothing
rash should be done about arranging for an
other Peary expedition The possibilities should
be canvassed thoroughly. But there are many
good reasons why no time should be wasted in
reaching a conclusion
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1902-09-21
SHALL PEARY GO NORTH AGAIN.

II would be mistake to assume that Com
mander Pearys failure 10 reach the Pole thus
far proves the absolute hoIelessness of the
task. He certainly came nearer TO accomplish
ing il this year than ever before Every time
he has tried il he has improved on the past
Experience has steadily added TO his efficiency
One after another he has overcome obstacles
First he improved his food supply by making
extensive deposits and organizing yearly COM
muEication with his friends in the United
States. He knows more>about getting teams of
dogs, insuring their welfare and the best
methods of enlisting Esquimau drivers than
he did when he first went into this kind of
work. Repeated trips over the ice have taught
him both the perils of travelling in the arctic
regions and how to meet them. The tourney
from Cape Sabine up to Fort Conger has now
been made so many times as to be an old story
and il is almost free from danger as a winter
ride IN Siberia. In spite of the unfortunate
misunderstanding with DR. Dedrick peary must
be regarded an admirable leader. He succeeds
in imparting his own enthusiasm to both white
and Esquimau followers. The one difficulty
which WAS insuperable in this last campaign
was the condition of the ice little TO the north
of the continent. There was too much omen
water between the foes TO favor progress. If
is impossible, though, to say with certainty
whether this situation is permanent or tran
silent Until further trial is made. no one is
justified in taking the facts for granted Nan

been traversed practically continuous ice

conviction that the barrier which checked him

His Judgment on this point is better than al

ALASKA BOUNDARY DOCUMENTS.

1t is not at all improbable that, as reported
in his possession documents tending to confirm
the American claims concerning the Alaska
boundary. 1t would be strange If many such
documents were not in existence, and a Rus
sian priest formerly stationed In Alaska might
we'll have some of them. There is much greater
probability OF that than of the existence of
row of monuments along the line, although 1t
is by no means impossible that the latter may
be found actually to exist. 1t is likely, too,
that British and Canadian archives contain
documentary testimony to the same effect, for
it will be remembered that some years ago,
when the Dominion Government prepared a
great map of ITS territories from the most
authoritative data, it drew thereon the boun-
Diary line almost exactly where the United
States claims it should be drawn.
The old Anglo Russian treaty is, of course,
the real basis of the American claim, and it is,
in any reasonable Interpretation Of II, an ample
and convincing basis. On that instrument, IN
either its letter or its spirit this country could
well afford to rest its case. Nevertheless, such
testimony as the reported monuments and the
documents said to be owned by this priest is
TO be welcomed It will serve for corrobora-
further serve to convince our Canadian friends
that this country is trumping up no new de-
mands but is standing upon well established
and long recognized rights. What Russia con-
sstently claimed and Great Britain conceded
down to 1867 is scarcely 10 be called into ques-
ton at this late date.

Lord Rosebery is said to be q sufferer from

in Washington, owned a yellow dog which was
passionately devoted to serenades in honor of

cur did persist in bayng at the moon. Mr.
Hewitt got little sleep at best. and when that
wretched beast was yapping and yepng at the
silvery goddess Of the sky he got no sleep at

message of amiable, good natured protest TO
Mr. Wood.
There were some incidents and circumstances
attendant upon the nightly musicals OF Mr.

to prompt the writing of editorial article in

it was copied all over the country. 1t had

PORTUGUESE AFRICA.

1t is again reported that Great Britain is
about to acquire possession of Delagoa Bay and
the bit of adjacent Portuguese territory lying
between the Transvaal and the sea- The report
is not official, and may or may not be true. 1t
is however q renewal of former predictions. and
its truth is inherently probable. British posses
sion of Delagoa Bay has long been regarded as
inevitable. and complete British absorption of
the Transvaal has somewhat FASTENED the proc
ess by which it is to be effected. Great Britain
it will be remembered, originally claimed own
ership Of the bay grounds which seemed to
many superior to those which formed the basis
of the Portuguese claim. The case was sub
mitted to arbitration, and it is to the credit of
Great Britain that she unhesitatingly ac-
quiesced in the verdict, although that verdict
was against her. and by the majority of i'm
partial observers was regarded as unjust or at
least mistaken. Ever since then. however she
has had under agreement with Portugal,
reversionary title to the bay and the surround
ing territory.
The present report intimates that Portugal is
alternating the whole of her East African nos
sessions. part Of them going to Great Brit
ain and part to Germany. That, too. seems not
improbable Portugal has not succeeded as a
colonizing power. The condition of her terri
tories in both East and West Africa has long
been by no means creditable TO her Slavery
has hourished in them. administrative cor
ruption has been rampant. disregard of santa
ton has made them hotbeds of pestence and
there has been little progress in civilization
Those regions are scarcely further advanced in
the arts OF humanity to-day than they were
when they were under native control The
simple fact is that the Portuguese. with manv
admirable qualities do not possess the peculiar
coionizing genius which the AngloSaxon race
possesses, and has exercised in so notable de-
gree, or the administrative genius which has
made France so successful in her enterprises
over sea. Inc portuguese possessions in Africa
are not source Of either profit or credit TO Ine
home kingdom, and the transfer of them to
other hands would he to the advantage OF Port
ugel herself as well to the general advan-
tage OF commerce and civilization
The division Of Portuguese East Africa be-
tween Great Britain and Germany would be
