The HQIIll incident.

EEditor BoLETIN MERcANTIL:
Sir-If anything were needed to en-
phasize the fact that the people of the
United States realize that they have
embarked upon the difficult path of
world politics the caution sdisplayed by
the American prints in commenting
upon the recent aggression OF Germany
in. West Indian waters would furnish 1t
1t is safe to say that no such studied
reserve would have been practised a
few years ago, and while it may be re-
earded as desirable that the knowledge
of our responsibilities should curb a
tendency to shirt-sleeves diplomacy, yet
the very reserve alluded to is om1noas
Of state OF feeling that some day Will
break forth in storm.
The course of Germany in.the case
of this Haytian gunboat is characteristic
of her policy in all quarters OF the
world. At once bully and envlous
she misses no opportunity of showing
her teeth where there can be no power
of retaliation or, where there is that
power, OF showing her teeth only to re
treat and apologize when she has attain
ed her object, or thinks she has, OF selt
ing friendly nations by the ears. III
the case of the Crete.a-P -Pierrot she has
carried this policy to its extreme. No
only has she in what is considered. il
Berlin a perfectly safe way punished
weaker nationality with great sound o.
rifed cannon and huge pomposity O
censored despa ches displayed in the
home press, but she has served notice
in kind of way on the great natior
that curbed her ambitions in Cuba ant
the Philippines to beware of the mailed
fist. She has done, in fact an action
sifnilar to that of the bully in well
known sea novel who thrashed th'
youngster under the nose of the persol
he dared not attack in order to shov
what might happen if he chose to pre-
ceed further. q. 1t is unnecessary her
to continue the parallel; time will in al
probability show the application on

far larger scale than one would care to
contemplate.
In view of additional light upon the
sinking of Admiral Killick's ship, it
v ould seem that the Haytian comman-
der acted in accordance with the stric-
test traditions of naval honor. He
would not implicate the party he serv-
ed By engaging in conflict with the
German cruiser, but he also would not
deliver his ship to the aggressor. He
saved his crew, fired his ship and died
at his post. It may well be believed
|that 4 generous people like the Amer
leans will moi refuse to this gallant man
the need of admiration that is his due.
The fact that Hayti is constantly dis
turbed by factional revolutions can in
no way detract from this mans heroism.
He believed in his cause; he served the
authorities he recognized as the govern
menl and he had the right within the
territorial limit of one marine league OF
selling the cargo in vessel which had
wilfully broken the laws of the country
by trading between its ports.5 That
| Havti's f,rflla'. government has not
c )np aimed of Germanys act can be
DO excuse, seeing that that government
| is in the midst of civil war and would
wclyD4.e ac.s c ,lculated to weaken the
Cause of the ro 5olutionists.
BIT the Significance of this acton in
relation to ourselves should not be over
looked. The warning that it is intend,
ed to convey should not be lost on the
American people. If these things be
done by Germany when her fleet is
insufficient and her plans incomplete,
what viii she do in the hour of her
plen..tude OF power? With the great
ness # her army exhibited for the be
neft of American generals and the &C.
Ilerity of her warships demonstrated for
the benefit of the nation at large, it
would be well for us to look to the fut-
ure; to put no hindrance in the way OF
those who, kuowning what they know
desire an adequate navy and proper
protection for our coasts. There is
peril in our path, and the warning OF il
is emphasized by the sinking of Admi-
raj killick's ship.

has A SORE LEG.
That's All There is Wrong With
Roosevelt. Saws Doctor.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 23.-Dr. George
II. Oliver was very reticent tonight about
the operation, but made the FOLLOWING
statement during the evening:
1.-The operation was performed success
fully, but 1t really was not a serious one
the fear was that if the serum had beer
allowed to remain, blood poisoning might
set in, but l believe there is no further
cause for apprehension. The swelling ir
the Presidents leg was about as big as
the open hand laid on the leg. The ope-
ration only took short time. and in nc
way affected the physical condition OF
the President. He is just the same TO-DAY
as any other well man, outside OF the
sore place on his leg"
Senator Beveridge was seen shortly al
ter the operation He was In good humor
and said that everything was all right
"A man like the President is not easily
invaded" said he. But he was forced
into this. 1t would not do to take any
chances. Mr.. Roosevelt is today rug
ged, hardy man with sore leg-thats
all there is to it,"

THEo PRICE ON COTTON.
Says Yesterdays Reaction Was a
Healthy SIGN.

New York. Sept. 3-CSpecial) -Those
whose interest 1t is to depress the price
of spot cotton in the South that they
may buy 1T more cheapy have again
sought to achieve this purpose through
the selling of paper contracts in New
York at a price below at which cotron
can be bought here. and in face of a
stock available for delivery on contract
of less than 5000 bales. Their theory has
been that by dislodging a few week
kneed holders of future in New York.
they would force a decline in the value
of spot cotton throughout the South.
Their efforts are again foredoomed TO
failure. In my opinion the reaction the
market has had today is a healthy one
and makes it's further progress toward
10 cents all the more certain. An effort
was also made by the interest above re-
-ferred to to force a bearish construction
upon the weekly report of the Govern
ment in regard to the crop. while on the
contrary, If this report is carefully read
ii indicates crop far below the average,
and shorter even than had been preyi-
ously anticipated l again caution my
friends to disregard fictitious reports that
l am selling or am turning bearish. Such
Is not the case. / confidently believe in
much higher prices for cotton, but il
makes no difference what l or any one
else may do if | correctly apprehend
the facts, the market is going higher de-
spite the efforts or operations of any in
dividual or group of individuals.

SURPRISE IN WASHINGTON.
DR.. Rixey Thinks There is No Cause
for Alarm.

Washington Sept. 20 The illness OF
President Roosevelt and the consequent
abandonment of MS Western trip came
as a total surprise to everybody In Wash
ington.
An official report of the President S
condition came to the Navy Department
this ate, noon from DIR. George A. Lung,
who accompanied the President its teAs
was not made public. 1t was much in ac-
cord with the statement issued by Secre'
tary Cortelyou frcm indianapolis preced-
ing the operation on the President.
From information at hand Dr. Rlxey
is of the opinion that the President will
be all right in . very short time. Such
wounds as that described are apt to be
more painful than serious. whenever
there is a break IN the continuity of the
skin, he said, IT makes the circulation OF
the blood N that vicinity very poor, and
careful handling of the injury is requir-
ed to prevent liberation. The doctor
thought from his present information that
a rest nf a week or so would cause the
wound to heal nicely and the cause of
the disturbance to disappear.
No word regarding the Presidents con-
dition nor of his intention to return to
Washington had been received at the
temporary White House up to midnight.
The general expectation, however. is that
he will make his headquarters there dur
ing his stay in Washington. While the ac'
commodations are not adequate for the
entire family, they are ample for the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, should the
latter join him, and with corps of SER
wants can be soon put in shape for &C.
cupancy. There is an accumulation of
business on hand awaiting Mr.. Roose-
velts attention and this with the fact
that the President has promised to wit
ness the parade of the Grand Army two
weeks from tomorrow lead, officials in
Washington to believe he will remain
here possibly until that occasion has
passed.
Secretaries Moody and Hitchcock and
Attorney General Knox are the only Cahi
net officers in Washington at this time

The News az OYSTER BaH.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 2.-The first
news of the indisposition of President
Roosevelt bulletine1 here came as ru-
NOR from New York. Shortly afterwards
the Presidents Office received the state
ment of Secretary Cortelyou and at the
same time a telegram was received fol-
Mrs. Roosevelt. She was absent from
home at the time and did not return UNI
til almost dark. The message assured
her there was nothing alarming about
the operation. Mrs. Roosevelt was later
kept informed as to her husbands con-
diton. When Mrs. Roosevelt received
word that the President had left Indian
apolis for Washington. she definitely de-
cided to go to Washington tomorrow
probably leaving on the 10 o'clock train.
She will take her daughter Ethel and her
youngest boy. Quinton, with her.
