The Canal Situation.

The advices from Bogota are far from sat
isfactory. The dispatches indicate only
hat the senate of the Colombian legislature
is unanimously opposed to the treaty as
1t stands. There is no intimation as to the
next move to be made save a hint that
the congress may pass an act granting
President Marroquin authority to prepare
substitute treaty differing in certain fea-
lures from the Hay-Herran agreement
This would be tantamount to the amend
ment of that treaty. and inasmuch as all
the Information from Bogota tends to show
that the fundamental objection to the pres
ent proposition relates to the alienation of
virtual sovereignty over the canal strip 1t
IS extremely unlikely that a satisfactory
arrangement can now be made short of
the absolute withdrawal of Colombia from
that position.
II Is suggested in one dispatch that the
!cwer house is overwhelmingly in favor of
the treaty as II stands and that its ex-
preston of this sentiment may have a
corrective effect upon the senate There
is little reason to base hope for the early
solution of the problem upon this chance

against the treaty which can not be meas

At San Francisco.

The country will wish the Grand Army Of
the Republic a merry time In the city OF
San Francisco. And the Grand Army Of
the Republic is certain to have a merry time
IN the city of San Francisco. great Or
ganization Is the guest of great and
hospitable community. But one result.
therefore. is possible. The veterans will
be well entertained. and the meeting will
be a pronounced success
The people in that neck OF woods do
nothing by halves. They are rich and
they are generous. They have a good deal
to show visitors and they are proud of
their possessions. Nature smiles. and they
smile, too. They are intensely American.
They believe in the United States. They
work for its glory while working for their
own advancement. They are of the tribe
of hustlers. The Californian is proud of
California, and proud also of the fact that
his state is sovereign state of the Union.
His provincialism does not extinguish. but
intensifes, his patriotism. He helps to
guard a long line Of sea coast. and he is
prepared to stand his watch. He built
the Oregon. Good luck to him. and success
to all of his public and private ventures!
But the Californian is host today not only
in his own name but notably 50 in that of
the whole west. The veterans who have
journeyed to accept his hospitality have
glanced en- route from their car windows at
a great empire which has sprung into ex-
istence since the close of the civil war.
What that section would look like today if
the Union had been destroyed God only
knows. The Union was saved, masterful
impulse to national pride and endeavor fol-
lowed and the empire, teeming with a mas
terful population. is there. The veterans,
therefore, are looking upon the work of
their own hands, and are finding it good.
They are richly entitled to the welcome
they are receiving They are at home.
But. by this token. they are at home, are
welcome guests, on every foot of American
soil All that We are as a nation we owe
to the supreme effort of the men, soldiers,
sailors and citizens, who rallied to the
cause of the Union in 1861. and supported
it with blood and treasure through the four
terrible years that followed. And while one
of them survives. and wherever he may
go, he will be honored by a grateful people.

Senator Allison, Diplomat.

Senator Allisons reputation as a diplo-
mat and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is so
great he is instantly suggested. for every
republican job of difficulty. The Iowa idea
caused some friction in republican circles
in the Hawkeye state. and the announce
ment followed that Mr.. Allison would

the credit for 1t. Now comes the currency
problem There are many men of many
minds on that subject. and forthwith it
is proposed to hand 1t over to Mr. Allison
for consideration and report. He is famil-
lar with both the eastern view and the
western view. and is supposed to be able
to reconcile the two. The present job. how
ever. is much more difficult one than was

The Open Door in Manchuria.

OF course ii is possible that Prince Ching.
thu head of the Chinese bureau Of inter
national Intercourse. may repudiate even
his written promise to sign on the Sth of
October a treaty with the United States
opening two ports to the worlds commerce
Or his august mistress. the empress dow
ager may conclude that his signature to
such an agreement Is not binding upon
her and the government itself. 1t Is al
together unsafe to rest absolute faith upon
Chinese pledges Of future performance
But nevertheless the procurement OF this
pledge is a triumph for American patience
and diplomacy and fixes a date for definite
showing OF hands.
The date itself is significant 1t is that
which Russia has set for her own formal
evacuation of Manchuria- 1nferentially II
might be assumed that China's promise to
open the two ports Is dependent upon Rus
sia.s evacuation. But the United States
assumes nothing of the sort and Will not
be satisfied with any excuses in case China
should seek to evade this pledge on the
ground that Russia has not prepared for
the evacuation. AS our negotfators urged
upon Prince Ching the United States has
no warrant for believing that Russia will
not get out or that China cannot exer-
ports Were every obligation to rest con-
tingent upon the satisfaction of all of Rus
sias promises there would be an end to the
course Of China's development as a ma
ton.
1t Is limited in the Picking dispatches that
the ports mentioned. especially that OF Ia
tung Tao. are of Insignificant commercial
value. This is not of immediate concern.
The principle at stake is of vital conse-
quence, and 1t rests with the administra-
ton Of the ports and with the enterprise
OF the commercial powers to build up the
value Of these open doors to Manchurian
trade. The diplomatic victory is none the
less because of the suggestion that the
ports are inconsiderable items today.
The designa ton of October s as the date
for the signing of the treaty will incident
ally add to the obligation of Russia to
evacuate on that day. Even though the
United States permits conditions to this
bargain It will jealousy watch the course
of events to note whether any power sue
ceeds in placing it's interests in jeopardy.
II China seeks to evade its present respon-
sibtlity on the score that Russia is in the
way the American demand upon Russia to
move will have the greater force We have
now acquired definite status in the prem
ises which materially strengthens our posi-
ton.

The Vice Presidency and 1900

The story about Mr. Root and the vice
presidential nomination in 1900 might be
clearer. We are told that he declined the
nomination. But the details are only to
the effect that his nomination would have
been acceptable to Mr., Mckinley, that he
preferred his seat at the cabinet table and
that he wrote a letter on the subject which
was to be used in case of a movement to
confer the nomination upon him. There
was no such movement. the letter was not
used. and hence the public is just now adj
vised of its existence.
1t Is easy to believe that Mr. Root would
have been very acceptable to Mr.. Mckinley
as a running mate. They were good
friends. and worked well together in office
1t Is likewise easy to understand why Mr.
Root should have at that time preferred the
War Department. He was engaged in some
very important work. was doing 1t well, and
to the countrys complete satisfaction. He
has since brought ii to triumphant close
The vice presidency held out nothing to al
lure him from a post which he had made
pecuniary sacrifices to accept, and which
had brought him, and was still bringing
him, considerable reputation.
But IN the light of all we now know, 1t is
safe to say that Mr. Root was at no time
a factor in the vice presidential equation
The drift was overwhelmingly to Mr..
Roosevelt He no more wanted the nom
nation than did Mr.. Root. He was as well
pleased with his job at Albany as Mr.. Root
was with his job here IN Washington. But
in his case there was a popular sentiment
TO be reckoned with. He had caught the
eye of the country In the war with Spain
and the young men of his party in partic-
ular wanted to vote for him for national
office His personal wishes were disre-
garded. He was nominated against his
Will, but by popular wish so unanimous
and enthusiastic that declination was
wholly out of the question. The demand
for Mr.. Mckinley was hardly more urgent
than that for Mr.. Roosevelt. and together
they ran like melted deers.
Everything went of for the best that
year. The country was fortunate in Mr.
Roosevelt's nomination. and fortunate in
the presence of Mr.. Root In the War De-
partment The tragedy at Buffalo the next
year. which SO shocked the world. found a
man In second place well trained for the
Inst, and a man in charge of army affairs
admirably equipped for handling them. 1t
is misleading to say that Mr. Root or any,
body else declined the vice presidency in
1900 1t was offered to but one man, and
while he had no inclination for it, he could
not decline II.

proof Of the neutrality of the Pacific rail-
road interests in the premises there will
be apprehension lest this force viii present

1t is to be hoped that these Central AIneri-

manner cannot. of course be accurately

thing can be in this existence that some
