A Few Recent Objections TO the Further
Displacement Now Proposed.
From The RlffnLo Courier

Some time ago, when the people were be-
ginning to appreciate the emptiness OF
Woods claims for preferment and hero wor-
ship, Mr.. Roosevelt took occasion In a public
speech to laud him as nearing the ideal OF
manhood and the American soldier. Since
then new and graver allegations have been
made. Newspapers and individuals who
were formerly his admirers have not hest
tated to declare that il the charges were false
and Wood man of honor he would unhesl-
tatingly demand an investigation. On the
other hand. he has lodged it, has put HIM
self as far away from it as he well could. The
President will hardly offend the public again
by fusome praises of an officer who is under
distinct suspicion and yet seeks no vindi-
cation, although that person may continue
his friend and further profit through his
fayoritsm

The situation in the Balkans.

There is some uncertainty as to the
real situation in the Balkans, but not
withstanding the pacific assurances said
to have been given to Austria and Russia
by Prince FERDINAND of Bulgaria, the
news from that princpalty seems to
have been sufficiently alarming during
the past few days to cause considerable
uneasiness. Correspondence also from
the Balkan capitals points to much un-
rest among the people of the various
States, on whom their governments find
difficulty in keeping a curb.
For the moment the policy Of Austria
and Russia is definitely against any dis
turbance Of existing conditions, and
their urgent representations to the diff
ttrcut governments, especially to that

of the Colored Educational Congress, to
be held at Pensacola next week, announce
that Senators Hanna and Lodge and Booker
T. Washington have consented to speak at
the congress-, and that President Roosevelt
has promised that he will send some one to
represent him. The committee has also
received replies accepting invitations from
several Congressman, Senators and promi-
nent educators from all over the country,
and it is now arranging TO entertain the
guests.
The promoters Of this congress say that
the object Ia not TO discuss race conditions
and the standing of the negro in the South,
but to urge upon the colored people the
necessity of taking advantage OF the edu-
oational advantages now offered them in
the South.

MSWEENEY UP ON CHARGES.
Accused OF ApprOpriatins immigration
Papers. Which He Didn't Take Away.


Ex-Deputy immigration Commissioner
Edward F. Insolvency.. who is charged with
having distracted between 1000 and 5000
public documents from the bureau files
while he was an official at Ellis Island
under Commissioner Fitchie, applied to
United States Commissioner Shields yester-
day for a hearing, but the case was APP
journed until Oct. 0. McSweeney gave
81 500 bail for his appearance.
His counsel, Abram Rose, declares that
the charge is groundless, because the papers
were never removed from Ellis Island or
from the possession of the Government
The prosecution hopes to show that the
papers were locked up to conceal viola
tons of the immigration laws.
McSweeney is now chairman Of the FIX
ecutive Committee Of the Democratic
State Committee of Massachusetts,. and he
was accompanied to the Federal Building
Yesterday by his present political patron,
Col. William l.. CASTOR, the Democratic
nominee for Governor in the last Massa-

The profession OF war grows every year
more complicated and more difficult. Its
duties should go to men who have prepared
for them by years of study. It's honors to
those who have earned them by long service;
not to "court favorites." The advancement
of President Roosevelt's friend, Dr. Wood,
TO the head of the army would be a worse

If Hermis cannot meet McChesney, why
should not Waterbuv, the four-year-old
Watercress colt of Mr.. j. B HsGGIN? A
race over. say, one mile and a quarter, in
which Waterboy and McChesney might
appear at even weights, would be banner
attraction. Within the last few weeks
McChesney has met and defeated some Of
the best horses about Chicago, and each
time he carried a big weight. Waterboy
has to his credit his victory in the Suburban
Renewal where, with an impost Of ll2
pounds, he ran the one mile and n quarter
in 2:Oi 80, and also his remarkable per-
Torrance of last week in the Brighton HRndi-
cap, where he carried 124 pounds over the
same distance in the worlds record time
of 2:03 l-j Waterboy is hailed by many
Eastern horsemen as not only the greatest
four-year-old Of the year. but one of the
best, il not the best colt ever seen on
the American turf
Whether or not these two thorolghbreds
get a chance by themselves TO determine
which is the better, they are likely to meet
during the summer in the stake races at
Saratoga, and here the friends of each will
be able to form their own conclusions as to
the animals respective abilities.
