A statute of Count de Rochambeau
was dedicated in Washington last
week with impressive ceremonies. The
statute is intended as an emblem of
of liberty and was an occasion in
which the socalled republics of France
and the United States felicitated each
other over freedom, and love of liber-
ty. After our conduct in the Philip
pines and our treatment of the Beers
we should hang our heads in shame
and not shout liberty.

THE REPUBLICAN GHOST.

Gen. Caffee has to some extent dis
of the acquittal of Major
Waller, who was tried in the Philip
pines for having had eleven Filipino
prisoners shot without trial. Caffee
says be should have been acquitted of
murder because be was under orders
from Gen. Smith, but he should have
been found guilty of minor offense.
The acquittal of Waller and the &C.
quittal of Smith which, though not
announced will follow, has always been
to us source of profound amazement.
We are amazed that an American
officer could carry out such orders and
more amazed that one could give
them. Had Major Waller, when he
was sent to Samar with the orders to
Kill all over ten years of age, and make
Samar bowling wilderness, rendered
his resignation rather than obey, and
suffered court martial II neeG be, for
not executing such orders, rather than
for executing them, the world would
have applauded him, and instead dur
ing the remainder of bis life being
haunted by the specter Of murdered
men, women and children, and forever
being engaged in an attempt to wash
from his hands the blood stains which
are there from his dipping them in
human gore, he would have gone
among his people and his friends with
the conscience of having acted the
part of man ennobled by civilization,
instead of one degenerated by savage
~. There is sentiment now being
forced upon public attention by the
friends Of the administration, to the
effect that we must stand by the army.
What the army does makes no differ
ence, all but traitors must uphold it,
and be who does otherwise is a bastard
and villain. This may have been SO
n days past. but the Spaniard was no
more in duty bound to uphold the
brutality of Weyler than we were
We denounced such brutality In Wey-
er and the Spanish government, not
because 1T emanated from them, but
because 1t was wrong. Our own hu.
nanity revolted at cruel and barbarous
warfare, just as many of us have re

NOT SATISFIED WITH
TERMS OF SETTLEMENT
Manhattan Elevated En-
ployes Still Protesting.
Claim That the Company Has Every
thing in Its Favor, and There May
Yet Be Strike.

NEW YORK. Aug. 15.-The trouble be-
tween the Manhattan Elevated Railway
Company and its firemen has apparently
not vet been settled.
It was believed that 1t was all over on
Tuesday, and that the terms of agree
ment would be ratified by the firemen
as well as the engineers. 1t appears that
this ratification has not yet taken place.
Last night the firemen. at meeting, ap-
parently failed to ratify the agreement
between the railroad and the grievance
committee. Some of the men who had
taken part in last nights meeting said
that they cid not like the agreement,
principally because 1t contains no time
limit. They said that there was nothing
to prevent the company from breaking
the agreement when IL pleased. Others
said that the fremen had not received
fair play. and that the engineers alone
would benefit by the terms of the agree
ment.
The fremen now get 81 a day. and ac-
cording to the agreement they can be
made either gatemen or conductors The
agreement does not bind the company to
appoint them motormen as the vacancies
occur, and they want TO be in the direct
line OF promotion.

CANAL COMMISSION
CANNOT NOW Be NAMED
Title Must Be Acquired Be-
fore Men Are Named.
Little Credence Is Placed in Statement
That President Has Decided
Upon Personnel.

Unofficial statements yesterday after
that. reports to the contrary notwith
standing, the President has not yet de-
oided upon the personnel OF the 1sthmiaL
Canal Commission. Little credence is
placed in the statements that that body
had already been chosen. and it is now
thought the selection will not be made
until next winter.
The law under which the Canal Com
mission is to be appointed specifies that
clear title TO the property must first
be obtained before the seven members OF
The commission can be chosen.
Many flames Considered.
From the time this matter was dis
cussed in Congress, however. it has
been considered as quite certain that
Admiral Walker, George S. Morrison. AL
fred Noble, Col. Peter C. Hams. and w
H. Burr would be included in the COM
mission. Prof. Haupt favored the Mica
ragua route when the question was be-
fore the Senate. and it has never been
thought that he would be on the com
lIlSSlOn. fTcl. EMERY JUHusOH was fp-
pointed On the present commission to
report on the economic aspects of the
canal project, and Senator Pasco was its
legal adviser. Neither of them, it is be-
lieved. will be reappointed. 1t is not
thought that Col. Oswald H. Ernst will
be appointed, as that would give the
army two representatives on the com
mission. The law prescribes:
Who Are Eligible.
"Of the seven member of said COM
mission at least four of them shall be
persons learned and skilled in the sci
once~of engineering, and Of the four at
least one shall be an officer OF the Unit
ed States Army, and at least one other
shall be an officer of the United States
Navy, the said officers. respectively, be-
ing either upon the active or the re-
tired list of the army or of the navy"
1t is TO be seen whether Admiral
Walker will be regarded as an officer of
the navy learned and skilled in the
science of engineering" He is not a
civil engineer, although he is regarded
as possessing a wide knowledge of such
matters.

who. for upward of twenty years, had
plundered mills. stores, and residences In
his home village undetected, was brought
TO the State prison here yesterday TO
serve a sentence OF not less than nine
nor more than ten years. Had the court
sentenced Adams for al! Of his confessed
crimes he would have to spend the re-
mainder of his days behind prison walls
On all the counts of the indictment
against him the combined sentence would
have been nearly l00 years.
Judge HaZleton sentenced Adams TO
serve not less than nine nor more than
ten years in the State prison. The an
nouncement of the sentence by the court
seemed to have little effect on the de-
