shying at the Word Reciprocity.

Don't call it reciprocity Senator
HALE is reported az saying Of the pro-
posal to help Cuba set up housekeeping.
Reciprocity is something which implies
an injury 10 protection, in which ] am .
thorough believer"
In this definition Of reciprocity az
something adverse, hostile and injurious
to protection Mr.. HALE Is directly In
conflict with the Republican platforms
OF 1890 and 1900. Protection and
reciprocity are twin measures OF Republi-
can policy and go hand in hand" de-
clared the platform upon which Mck1N-
LEY and HOBART were elected The
platform upon which MCKINLEY and
ROOSEVELT were elected renewed the
partys faith in the policy Of protection
and then went on to favor the asso-
ciated policy OF reciprocity
A former Senator from Maine, the
Hon. JAMES G. BLAINE, once vigorously
pointed out the twinship. BLAINE did
not regard reciprocity as something
implying an injury to protection.
Almost the last public words of Will
LIAM MCKINLEY, one Of the most thor
ough and consistent protectionists that
ever lived, were these, spoken at Buffalo:
Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth of
our wonderful industrial development
under the domestic policy now firmly
established"
Senator HALE is a good protectionist,
htt M haftar than warA RTIINE and
MCKINLEY; no better than the Republi-
can party in convention assembled.
There is no reason why, in announcing
his readiness to join the other protec-
tionist Senators from New England in
lending a helping hand to Cuba, he
should protest against calling the meas
ure reciprocity.

WALKER on PANAMA. ROUTE,
says the Bohio Dam Would Have 10 Go
IFS Feet Beiow Sea Level.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Rear Admiral
Walker, chairman of the Isthmian Canal
Commission, was before the Senate Com.
mittee on lnteroceanic Canals this morning
and was examined at some length by Son.
ator Morgan, chairman of the committee
regarding the engineering features Of the
Nicaragua and Panama routes
Admiral Walker said that the proposed
Bohio dam on the Panama route would
have to 20 1926 feet below sea level in order
10 reach a firm foundation. This was
greater depth than ever before attempted
and the feasibility of the work was matter
upon which there was difference OF opinion
In the commission. The Admiral expfesss d
the opinion that there would be no great
difficulty in confining the Chagres River.
He said that the greater time estimated for
completing the canal by the Panama route
was due TO tho work necessary on the Bohio
dam and the cut at Culebra. Az 10 the
advantages OF the Pacific terminus Of the
Nicaragua route, he acknowledged that
sailing vessels could take the trade winds
at the mouth of the canal, while at Panama

OF college studies courses In BIBLICAL
literature, In Russian, in Norwegian and
Danish, In Swedish. and In modern Asiatic
history. Besides jts schools Of art and OF
music Yale now has school Of forestry.
A plan Of the university grounds
shows distinctly Ysle's great material
extension in the last few years. The
numbers In the catalogue denote pros
perity. Under $40 professors, tutors
instructors and officers OF administra-
ton there are 2,6S5 students. Some
OF these are women. as women are ad-
fnitted freely to the graduate school
az well as to instruction in art and
music, though they are vigorously
excluded from the other departments
Of the university. OF graduates there
are $3.50, of undergraduates in Yale Col
lege 1,24O, Of scientific undergraduate
students, 542. In the other divisions OF
the department of philosophy and the
arts there are ie8 students, in the divin-
ity school 100, in the medical school 1A7,
In the law school PAT.
Yale has always taken pride in the
wide field from which she draws. Her
students came from forty-one States,
from Cuba and Hawaii, and a dozen
foreign countries twenty-seven OF them
are Japanese. The numbers are not
merely such as TO add name to the list
but are large enough to have meaning.
Connecticut naturally heads the list
with 9s2 and New York as usual comes
next. with 5e7; but Pennsylvania sends
ie4, Massachusetts, i4l, Ohio 1i6, Illinois
l07 and New Jersey iOi. There are 50
American cities and one japanese that
send each FIVE or more students to Yale
and New York and Brooklyn's quota OF
273 is not So far behind New Haven's 352.
Yale can justly call herself national
university She bids fair to advance
as rapidly under President HApLEY as
she did under President DWIGHT.

Justice.

On the eve Of President RoosEvELr's s
comment upon Rear Admiral ScHLEY's
appeal the cry from the latter's par
tisans for Justice to SCHLEY = is heard
almost as loud as ever. Now. no news
paper is more anxious than THE sun
that ScHLEY shall have justice, but We
demand justice not for him only That
must be rendered TO all concerned
SCHLEY first. For his acts as com
mander OF the Flying Squadron, for his
management of the Brooklyn at Santi-
ago and for his claim of command"
there, let him have the full praise or
oensure. approval or reputation, that
justice demands.
And SAMPSON II by moving out of
the blockade line at Santiago he ever
lost command Of the fleet which
he had arrayed in such memorable
readiness to meet the Spaniards. let
him pay the penalty of his misfortune
But if he did not lose command, justice
demands that he have the full honors of
victory, and that rival claimants be
suppressed
Last comes the Navy, which through
out this controversy has been maligned
by the Schley press as dominated by
ring of venomous and falsifying ad-
venturers, bent on the destruction of
blameless hero. The Navy demands
justice, merciless justice.
Was ScHLEY's captaincy Of the Fly
ing Squadron a model for naval con-
duct? Did his turning Of the Brook
lyn's stern TO the enemy. his causing a
sister ship 10 stop 10 avoid collision, his
risking a general mix-up of the Ameri-
can feet at the critical moment, and
his never regaining the distance lost by
the loop constitute good fighting? Does
the fraud Of publishing the first Hodg-
son letter, apart from the subsequent
injustice TO brother officer" to
quote the mild phraseology Of the Court
Of Inquiry. denote our Navy truly;
Should that body of uniformed Ameri-
cans be identified with all these things
before the eyes OF the world? II not
justice cries louder than any shrek OF
Schleyism that the Navy receive the
eKoneration which the rejection Of
Schleyism alone can give.
Fair play for one and all is the thing,
for whomsoever be the fate OF eXalta-
tion or degradation.

Here lies man who knew how 10 get
around him a great many men who were
much cleverer than he was himself, re-
peats gossip which has been flowing out Of
Pittsburg for many years. We have often
heard that the man of the Carnegie insti-

the true homo er m0china was some other
fellow, some concealed genius, who. when
he left for other business, would leave Mr.,
CARNEGIE exposed AZ a figurehead. The
latter had got around him cleverer men
than himself. and when they left him his
peculisr fame would collapse. Well, we
have seen several gentlemen successfully
reputed to lie the mysterious force of Car
negieism get out of the business without
checking it's growth. until finally Mr. CAR
SKgIE himself left. in blaze of millions,
still unexposed and undetected. There is no
objection however, to his starting an acl-

special building for the samples OF such
articles produced or manufactured in foreign
countries as may be OF value for purposes
OF comparison or reference in the way OF
Industrial Improvement. The primary object
manufacturers an opportunity OF studying
the latest products OF Western Invention
with view to the Improvement OF Japanese

observed that the establishment of the build
ing in question offers TO foreign manufaCt-
urers a rare opportunity for exploiting the
rapidly developing markets OF the whole Far
East, for the coming Exhibition Is sure TO
crowds of visitors from the Continental coun-
tries OF Asia.
There will be no charge for the privilege OF
exhibiting in this building. but certain rules

Inxland'S New African Army.

The Brit ish Government has decided TO
create native army in its various protecto-
rates on the eastern coast of Africa, Somal-
land East Africa. Uganda and Central
Africa Somaliland was created pro-
tectorate in 1884, East Africa in 1895 Uganda
in 1894, and Central Africa in 1891. In each
OF these districts the ruling powers have
erected and maintained forces composed
OF natives officered 10y British. and serving
solely under the authority OF the Resident
or Commissioner.
The new order combines these separate
organizations into The Kings African
Rifles" under a Brigadcr-Cenersl whose
headquarters will be Entebbe, Uganda.
He will be under the supervision Of the
British Foreign Office, and will spend a
part Of each year in England, advising the
Foreign Secretary. The resultant army is
described as the nucleus of new native
army for colonial defence; but is really the
first step in the direct ion Of making col
onies out OF the ttular prOtectorates
which in two cases have come under British
supervision by way Of chartered COM
panies." II will not be long, probably,
before the Residents or Commissioners are
succeeded by Governors, and the pro-
