another to tow the damaged machine to

Auditor Castle will lose no time in COM
plying with Comptroller Tracewells re-
quest. Neither of the officers mentioned
will discuss the request or the reasons which
prompted it. and Just why the Treasury
officers desire statement Of the accounts
Of the New York Office at this time Is q
matter for conjecture.
As the Postmaster-Genera1 has an
nounced his intention Of making a full
investigation Of the methods Of doing
business in the large post offices OF the
country whose yearly receipts aggregate
$500 900 or more, and that the inquiry would
begin at the New York office, 1t Is believed
that the Comptroller's request Is the first
step in this direction. The investigation
will he made with a view TO discovering
not only any irregularities which may
exist in the large Offices, but also with the
object OF abolishing ancient methods OF
transacting business and instituttng much

frSc.a! Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON May o.-The sudden and grave
responsibility which falls upon the United
S'atee by reason of Russia action in the
Var East should be fully understood by
'h" American people, az undoubtedly il is
ny the authorities at Washington.
u is within easy memory when the foreign
interests Of the United States became Of
vital Importance to the nation. America

States have become the greatest producers
Ut a surplus Of natural products and manu-
factnreS. /, is essential, therefore,, to the
development of American prosperity that
they have access to foreign markets.
Notation can become an important factor
IN the worlds trade In this twentieth CEN
fury without taking an equally prominent
part in tho worlds politics. This assertion
is 20 automatic that il will scarcely admit
Of argument. America is universally recog-
nized as possessing equal rights, duties and
responsibilities with any other member OF
the family of nations.
II is peculiarly embarrassing that the
heaviest on,is Of the duty of enforcing
tn" first principle Of international inter-
course should suddenly be forced upon the
Youngest associate In the group of great
Powers. Russia's defiant action at New
chwang in reply to the American protest
against the Reputation of a solemn pledge
leaves but one courss open tn the United
States, II national prestige and self-respect
are to be preserved. If duplcity lying
and reputation Of written promises are
To replace honorable dealing between
nations. than America may as vol tear up
treaties aud live an existence Of practical
ISOLATION.
Tho only word spoken in defence Of
Russia in this country comes, oddly. from
the Spectator. which suggests to-day that
Americas righteous Indignation is rather
thrown away, because, as 1t says, "in Asia
Russia is an Asiatc Power and must be
regarded as one; that is, she must be judged
by her acts without reference To her words.
According To the Spectators delightful
diplomatic code, therefore, Russia Is under
some obligation to be honorable In Euro
pean Affairs, while In Asia she noed be
hampered by no moral considerations what
over. 1t really seems as II Russias course
is designed definitely to establish the latter
policy as a permanent condition OF inter-
national intercourse
There is no escaping the issue. Russia
hasn't even poor excuse for having given
her pledge which subsequent consideration
induced her to regret. II is abundantly
clear that when she promised Secretary
Hay that she would maintain the open door
IN Manchuria, she deliberately deceived
tho American Government. That decep-
don was gross insult to friendly nation.

The peace conference at The Hague. which

The Czar's Government now forces upon

arbitrament, involving as It does, the honor
Of humanity at large.
We come. then, to the duty Of the United
States In this supreme crisis. Banishing
all anger and irritation. and ignoring
also all the material interests involved,
there seems but one honorable course
open to the American Government. Let
them say to Russia that the United States
expect her to fulfil her pledges. and will,
II necessary. compel the execution of prom
ises made to them with all means ut our

This should be said even u America
had no hope Of cooperating with any other

and Japan. No alliance seems necessary
for such purpose. II it Is necessary let

sent to Russia by the three Powers. These
should be accompanied by simultaneous
orders to reinforce the squadrons in the

believes that Russia would persist N re-
