PRESS COMMENT ON
P0ST0FFICE DEVELOPMENTS
MR.. PAYNE's DUTY.
(New York Times.)

From this time on It is plain that the
most searching inquiry, the pronptest
discipline, and total absence from
vaporing will be needed TO save the de-
partment and its head from great dis
credit. IN effect that means a practical
reversal Of an important part OF Mr..
Payne's policy in the past We wish to
60 him no injustice. But he ought 10
realize. and so ought the President. that
he was not, in the opinion of the public.
originally selected for his business eff
cheney and his high reputation for ad-
msnistTative ability, but for the skill in
political management thar ne had shown.
This may not have been wholly q correct
impression. but Il has been sustained
rather than disslpated by Mr.. Payne's
own conduct and still more by his silly
talk. That puts him at a grave disad-
vantage, and he will have to work hard
10 right himself.

ITALIAN EMBASSY SUMMER
QUARTERS At MANCHESTER
Count di Cettere to Establish Office
There June IS.

The summer headquarters of the
Italian embassy will be established at
Manchester by -the-Sea, on June Is. by
Count di Cellere. first secretary, who
will be the charge d'affaires throughout
the absence from this country OF Am
tassador des Plauches.
Count di Cellere has been absent from
Washington for number OF months,
which he spent in Europe on his vaca-
ton. He is expected TO arrive in this
city IN about ten days, and will imme-
diately arrange for the transfer of the
embassy from Washington to Manches-
ter. A day or two later Ambassador
Ges PIanches will start on his Pacific
Coast trip.
Count Giuseppe della Gherardesca.
honorary attache of the embassy. Will
sail for Europe on June with his bride
They will cross on the Deutschland and
stop in Paris for short time on the
way to the young diplomatist's home in
Florence. Count Gherardesca will take
advantage of the long absence permitted
members OF the Italian diplomatic SER
vice under the term OF marriage leave,
apc will not return to Washington until
December or January next.

have ousted Lieut.. Leveson Cover from
the army. If one was in the wrong,
then the other one must necessarily have
been In the right. To punish both Is
mistake.
The two dukes are, however, laborins
under a misapprehension in believing
that an officer cannot be deprived of his
command. and even OF his commission,
save on charges proved to the satisfac-
ton of court martial. In England as
well as In all the monarchicai countries
of Europe, officers of the army and navy
hold their commissions from the SOW
crcign only during the latter's pleasure.
II the monarch, for any reason, be IL
valid cause or a mere caprice, chooses
to deprive them OF their command Or
commission, they have no alternative
but to submit. and are without any legal
redress whatsoever. IN France an Of
flcer can always, in such instances, lodge
an appeal with the council of state,
which Is above the administration and
the executive. But in England. and in
other monarchical countries in Europe,
the crown is free to act as IL lists IN the
matter without mourning any legal re-
sponsibility.

ITALIAN AMBASSADOR
TO VISIT PACIFIC COAST

The italian ambassador. Signor Mayor
des Plapches. has determined upon max
ing his contemplated trip to California
before starting for his vacation rip to
Italy.
For a long time It has been the am
bassador's desire to travel through the
great West to the Pacific Coast. and be
had some thought of continuing west
ward at the conclusion OF the st. Louis
Worlds Fair dedication exercises. ON
cial duties necessitated his direct re-
turn to the Capital at that time and the
trip was practically abandoned.
The ambassador has flxed upon July II
as the date of his sailing and finds he
will be able to make the Western trip
before that time. He Will probably travel
alone. returning in time to sail with
Signora Mayor on the Kaiser Wilhelm
II. The ambassador will start West iJc-
mediately after the arrival here OF
Count di Cellere, first secretary. who
will act as charge d'affaires for the sum-
mer. The latter is expected in about
ten days.

FOUR NEW JAILS FOR
INDIAN TERRITORY
Appropriation to Be Allotted for Build
ings in Four Towns.

Contracts for four United States iails
in Indian Territory Will be let by the
Department of Justice in a short time.
Ardmore. Vinita. Muscogee, and South
McAlester have been selected as the
towns IN which the prisons will be erect
Cd
An appropriation of $4,000 was made
by Congress for the 1sils. and this
amount will be equally divided among
the four towns TIE new buildings
win be OF brick and stone and will
replace temporary buildings which the
Government has leased.
AS Indian Territory is not an organ
tied Territory IL has no counties. All
litigation Is carried on in Federal
courts There are no county jails avail
able for Government use. Consequently
the Federal authorities have been COM
PEELED to rent buildings owned by citi-
gems. In many cases the rent paid for
houses used as jails has been so high
that in four years 1t was equal to the
value of the property.
Jails are rented in the towns which
are to have the new buildings, as well as
in many other places where 1t has been
necessary to hold Government prisoners.
Many OF the buildings are unfit for jail
purposes. but the lack OF appropriations
for better accommodations made IL nee
essary for the Government 10 use any
buildings which could be had.
The Washington times., 1903-05-28

Washington the place for all future
it may be said at once
that tho thing is impossible. There
are geographical reasons why it can
not be done. Other cities want their
share of the commercial advantages
accruing from a great fair, and this
is not the only Important city worth
seeing in this country. Moreover, if
it were possible, it would not be de-
sirable. The beauty of Washington
should be permanent and tranquil,
not the allurement of a perpetual
show. Is it to be supposed that the
Capital of the United States would
be improved by turning it into sort

dency to stand out for a "favorite
son" aspirant And in the South,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama,
and South Carolina are the only
States in which signs of an opposi-
ton to the President and his policies
have cropped to the surface.
Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination being
seemingly assured, speculation will
hencefo1th turn on his chances of
election. A sagacious and conserva-
tive New York newspaper, the
Times" announced the other day
that two special dangers threatened
President Roosevelt as a candidate.
One was the distrust inspired in the
business world by his interference"
in the anthracite coal strike. The
other was the resentment felt by the
world of finance at his zeal in push
ing the Northern Securities merger
suit. But the Chimes" is candid
enough to admit that opposition to
President Roosevelt based on these
two counts might in the long run
really benefit instead of damaging
him.
Altogether the skies look promising
for the Chief Executive. He has al
ready conquered all possible opposi-
ton within his own party. And the
resistance the Democratic party will
be able to offer him in next years
canvass is as yet as little defined as
II is lacking in serious menace.
