The Red Cross Controversy.
It Is Facts" That the Public Wants,
Not the Calling of Names.

We are glad to hear that Miss Bar
ton has requested the executive com
mittee Of the Red Cross ito imme-
diately employ expert and impartial
accountants to examine the books and
records Of the society with a view to
the making of a report TO the Ameri-
can people as to whether or not there
IS any ground for the charge, IN the
letter of George B. Corteiyou, late
Secretary to the President, alleging
the existence OF loose and improper
arrangements for securing the needed
accountability for and supervision Of
the disbursements for the money fur
nished IN times of exigency to the Red
Cross by the charitable public"
The request comes none too soon.
As matter of fact, 1t would have
been we'll had it been made months
ago.
If the accounts are correct, as the
friends of Miss Barton assert with
undue acerbity of temper, and the
conduct of the disbursing officers of
the society Is mimpeaehable-an as
sertion which we are not disposed to
question at present-an examination
and overhauing Of the books can do
no harm. On the contrary, the friends
Of Miss Barton ought to hail, and no
doubt do hail. with vociferous delight
/ the opportunity of showing to the
/ public that the Red Cross. under their
management. deserves the encourage
ment and support of the charitably
inclined IN the future, as 1t has de
served them IN the past. The at

certain business methods, and who IL

members of the Red Cross demand
that the light be turned on certain
transactions Of the soeiety's paid Of

itself to the average American bust
ness man. In our opinion it was al
exceedingly unwise thing to do.
Nor Is the threat to institute lega
proceedings for libel against newspa
pers who print nothing, apparently
except the news Of the unfortunate
disagreement in the society, calculated
to awaken and confirm that confidence
in It's business management, without
which the Red Cross cannot hope Il
carry out successfully the noble mis-
sion 1t has set for itself.
We regret, above all, that the pres
ent management of the society ha
seen fit to whistle down the wind

Lord Curzon Still in Favor.

LOIQ tuELOu 9TH III dNUI.
Lord Curzon, all reports 10 the con
trary, has in no respect forfeited the
high favor In which he IS held by King
Edward. For the latter since the return
from India of his brother, the Duke OF
Connaught, and after receiving from him
a personal description of the great dur
bar at Delhi. has conferred upon the
vieeroy the chain Of the Victorian order.
with an intimation to the effect that this
is a personal memento on the part Of
the sovereign, and will not preclude
other tokens Of recognition and reward
from the government
The chain of the Victorian Order, like
that Of the Prussian Hohenzolfern Order
ranks still higher than the Grand Cross
and is only given by way Of very special
distinction Thus last winter. when the
Kaiser wished to confer some signal
honor upon Count Buelow. and the latter.
who has already the highest order in the
land. namely. that of the Black Eagle.
declined promotion to the rank OF prince.
there was nothing left for the Emperor
but to present him with the chain OF the
Order OF HohenzoIern, which IS the
Prussian counterpart Of the Victorian Or
der in England.

Yung Lu had a remarkable career. He
rose from small military command 30
the highest Offices in China. Many ac-
eusations of not protecting foreigners
and OF swindling the government have
been made against him and for q time
he was in disfayor, but his two-eyed
peacock feather was eventually restored
and he was promoted rapidly.
Yung Lu was Manchu and at the be-
ginning of the Boxer outbreak was vice
roy of the province OF Chill and general
issimo OF the Chinese army. At that time
he was said TO be the most powerful man
in China, his influence being greater
even than that CT the late Ii Hung
Chang II was said at one time that he
was the real author Of the anti-foreign
outbreak in PekIn and Tientsin. He OBJ
tanned his post as generalissirno for
crushing the reform party. He also com
manded the well-disciplined troops
which opposed the allies
After the troubles were over he was
in disfavor for a while and strong ae-
cusations were made against him by the
foreign ministers. He denied. however.
