Mr.. Springer had the following to say
about his amendment: This proposed
amendment to the Constitution may, on
casual consideration. seem UNJUST and
cruel, but it is neither. 1t is just. for
the reason that a person who is an
ayowed enemy of the Government and
who thinks it would be jus; to kill pub
lie officials at any time merely because
they exercise public functions. ought not
to complain and cannot reasonably COM

would never again kill President or
other high official for the reason that
such an act would bring down upon all
the known anarchists in the country
prompt retaliation.
Suppose this amendment had been the
law when President Mckinley was in But
falo last September, what would have
been the result? In the first place. he
would not have been assaulted at all. But
if he had been assaulted. as he was,
what would have happened? The leading
and avowed anarchists in the country
would have been shot down like mad
dogs, and they would have known this
Hence. they would not remain in COun-
try where their lives would be so inse-

some other country. This would not be
suitable for anarchists. This proposed
amendment would be self-executing.
There is a provision in the proposed
amendment enlarging the treaty-uakiug
power so as to enable our Government.t ito
cooperate with other great Powers in
procuring a suitable island or Islands. to

MARYLAND WANTS ARMY CAMP.
Oakland Citizens Formulate Memo

OAKLAND, Nd. Feb. 23.-The commit
tee Of citizens appointed at recent pub
lie meeting to draft memorial TO Con-
gress. setting forth the advantages Of
the Garrett County site for the proposed
army camp, have formulated the memo
rial, and will transmit it to Congress
through Representative Pcarre and sena-
tor McComas.
The memorial recites in detail the ad-
Vantages possessed by ;he site, and shows
conclusively that all the requirements
OF the act OF Congress establishing this
camp can be fully met, if it is located in
this county.

Japan undoubtedly has her suspicious
of Russian promises and is evidently de-

the Powers not to attempt to secure any

here hat the Manchurian matter will not

The Powers must wait for a demonstra-
tion by Russia of the promises conveyed

District Officials Pleased With
the Programme.
INVOLVES INCREASED TAXATION
Congress to Authorize Expenditure
of Fifteen Million Dollars Within
Next Two or Three Years in Ex-
traordinary improvements.

Great interest is felt by the District
officials in the plan mapped out by the
committees in Congress to relieve the
financial stress on the municipality and
at the same time provide for needed pub
lie improvements.
While the District Commissioners will
not talk for publication on the subject, it
is well known that the programme meets
with their approval. In the discussions
which preceded the tentative arrange
ment reached by members of the Dis
trlct committees the Commissioners par
ticipated. and their ideas quite largely
ruled the situation.
| The programme as arranged involved
| increased revenues by taxation estimat-
ed at nearly s2.000.000. On this basis it
is proposed that Congress shall authorize
the spending of something like 81, ,0O0.0 900
within the next two or three years in
extraordinary improvements. One-half
of this amount the District will ultimate
ly pay at the rate of 100000 year.
This plan figures out on the basis Of
the larger revenues, as the present in
come of the District is ample for running
expenses and all ordinary needs. 1t Is
the large improvements and the multi
plicity of street extensions that have
swamped the municipal finances and pro-
duced a deficit. The Commissioners have
consistently held that If the revenues
could be relieved from the extraordinary
stress put upon them the affairs of the
municipality would move along without
hindrance or friction.
Large improvements Mentioned.
The large improvements mentioned in
the plans of the District committees are
those which are Immediately necessary.
They have been discussed in the annual
reports of the Commissioners for the last
few years. and those conyersant with Dis
trict affairs are familiar with them.
The list includes better drainage, better
water and the reclamation of the Ana
costa flats, the bringing of the Potomac.
near Long Bridge and Rock Creek, on
the line of Connecticut Avenue. and the
erection of union station and a mu-
nicipal building.
None More Urgently Needed.
1t would be impossible to name i'm
prOvements more urgently needed. In
fact, Washington as a city of homes is
at a standstill until these things are
provided. According to one of the Dis
trict Engineers. they are as necessary as
the daily food of the inhabitants.
II is the opinion of those fully CONVEX
SAINT with the situation that the pro-
gramme proposed will AFFORD the relief
need in the most practical and common
sense way. The debt incurred will be
paid off rapidly. and the well-being of
the municipality will not be jeopardized
thereby.

important negotiations between his Gov

deemed wise to retain him here until
they had been dispCs sed Of.
Recently, when it became evident that
the Hay -Pauncelotc treaty would be con-
suumated, Lord Pauncefote entered into
correspondence with Lord Lansdowne, the
British Minister for Foreign Affairs, con-
cerning the Ambassadors expected retire
ment from service. Lord Lansdowne was
unwilling to withdraw Lord PauBcefote
from Washington at this time, and it has
been arranged that the Ambassador shall
remain here Indefinitely.
In view OF Lord Pauncefote's advanced
years, it is believed, however. that his
wish to retire viii soon be granted.
Several members of the British diplo-
matte corps have been mentioned in con
nection with the appointment of his sue
cessor. Among those most prominently
spoken of is Sir Henry Howard, the Min
