THE AMERICAN POSITION.

1t is reported from Washington that
the American ambassador at st. Peters
burg has been given instructions which
amount to a protest against the Russian
demands regarding Manchuria, while
our minister at Picking has been in
eminent the dissatisfaction of the
United States with those demands. This
ourse our government is fully war
ranted in taking. in view of the re-
Russia that American interests in Man
churia would not be %interfered with.
These assurances were so explicit as to
have removed any doubt that may have
signs. The present demands, which II
complied with by China will certainly
prove very damaging to American in
~terests, therefore came as a rather start
ling surprise, at least to Washington. It
is so marked an example of Russian du-
plicity that It could not be permitted to
go unnoticed, even though a protest
might avail nothing and the Department
of State has done its duty in the matter
and acted none too promptly.
OF course the United States will do
no more han protest, which will prob
ably not affect Russia's purpose, but the
moral influence of this country ought to
count for something with China. At any
rate this country will not, it is safe to
say, become involved In any extreme
measures looking TO the defeat OF the
Russian policy. There are two powers,
however-Japan and Great Britain
which it would seem must take some
decided action. Those nations have an
alliance which was understood to have
been formed with direct reference tc
such a move as Russia is now making
If Japan shall decide that her interests
and future welfare require that SHE
shall resist, If necessary with force. the
Russian Manchurian policy, Great Brit
ain is at least bound by the alliance Il
see that Japan has fair play, to the ex
tent Of not allowing any other nation t
join with Russia. The world will wal
with keen interest for developments re
garding the attitude IN the matter o
Great Britain and Japan, especially tn,
latter, 1t is well understood, OF course
that the japanese government and PEG
pie are strongly opposed TO Russian
domination of Manchurla. They full,
} realize that II is most dangerous TO thei
interests and that IT is a menace to thei
! future welfare and progress, IL not in
deed to their national independence
They do not want so formidable a neigh

coal BARoNs, pEFI.

Baltimore American; The coal roads
view OF the objection Of the public to high
prices Of coal as "the whining Of whipped
dogs" bears a curious family resemblance
to the resentment Of the ancient Romans
at the gladiators who were to be slaught-
cred declining TO Look pleasant about 1t.
Chicago Record-Herald:. AS President
Baer asserts that he would welcome a
proceeding in any court of the United
States to try the question whether he has
violated the law or not he ought GER
tainly to be taken at his word. Nothing
would suit the public quite so well as an
aggressive move by the attorney general
Of the United States in this matter.
Chicago Chronicle: For a gentleman
who is in partnership with Omnipotence
Brother Baer's memory seems TO be mighty
bad in the matter Of freight rates, pool
ing contracts and such matters. More
over, the deacon's temper appears to be
getting much undivine. Can it be possible
that the confidential relations which have
existed between Brother Baer and the
throne Of grace have been dissolved or
SUSPENDED
Philadelphia Record: Not merely upon
the report Of the anthracite commission,
but upon all the evidence accumulated for
years., no one doubts the existence Of the
coal trust. What are wanting are the
judicial proofs of It's violation Of the laws,
and these the combination naturally seeks
to delay as long as possible. But what with
the investigation OF the Interstate Com
mission and the Department of Commerce,
supported by the same energetic action
displayed by the attorney general In the
Northern Securities merger, the Hnal is
sue cannot be much longer postponed. No
distinctions can be made among the cor
porate transgressors Of the laws Of the
United States prohibiting conspiracies in
restraint OF trade.

Dissatisfied PENSION AGENTS.
Concerted Attack on the of
Commissioners Ware.

Philadelphia Press Gep.).
A few men, chiefly in Washington, who
raised a great cutlery against former Pen
sion Commissioner Evans because he did
not facilitate their efforts to get through
doubtful claims have now begun a similar
outcry against Captain Ware, the present
commissioner. He is also charged with
obstruction, and similar charges will prob
ably be made against any future head Of
the pension office who performs his sworn
duty.
The charges against Mr.. Evans had no
effect on President Mckinley, and those
made against Mr.. Ware are not likely to
have any more effect on President Roose-
welt. No man could charge President Nc
Kinley with any lack Of interest in the
old veterans, of whom he was one, and no
one has yet been bold and foolish enough
to make such a charge against President
Roosevelt. Captain Ware, the present head
Of tho pension ONCE, was a brave soldier,
and about the only thing said against him
is that the whole pension policy Of the
bureau is about the same as II was in Mr..
Evans time" While that is a great credit
to Captain Ware, il is very annoying TO the
claim agents, enc OF whom refers to Cap
tain Ware as the youthful commissioner"
As Captain Ware served through the Civil
war and in the Indian wars, his youthful
ness Is not very apparent,
The threat to organize the veterans for
use in the presidential campaign to en-
force a more liberal pension policy is abb
surd. This nation is pursuing the most
liberal pension policy ever known in the
history Of the world. But men who make
their living on percentages earned from the
work OF securing pensions for others are in
some cases dissatisfied. To blame the head
Of the pension ONCE is in the highest de-
gree absurd. The threat Of organizing the
veterans so as to overturn the republican
party is childish, This was done under this
last Cleveland administration aud the vet
Grams know too we'll the result.
The pension policy of our government II
much more liberal than that Of any othel
government in existence. So liberal hal
IL been that many think II much too lib.
eral. But as for increasing pension pay.
ments by liberalizing the laws now on thu
statute books that is a question for con.
gress; but Il Is not In the least probable
that It will be done.
