One typical seance may be described to give
a view of Root in the act of not telling news.
Ii was while the army was nearing Picking,
but before the entry. and when a battle was
momentarily expected. The correspondents had
discovered that a dispatch had been received
from Minister Conger. but Mr.. Root did not
seem inclined to tell what was IN IT. When
the audience discovered this 1t was silent a
moment and then resolved on strategy.
Mr.. Secretary said one strategian, lis
this dispatch suppressed in accordance with
the established policy of the government not
to give out dispatches which give ormat

establish one theory about the dispatch, which
was that it related TO the best mode Of at
tack on Peking; II in the negative. that it was

is this dispatch not given out because Of the
policy Of the government to give out nothing
bearing on military operations?'
Profound silence; every ear strained.
Root Qucidly, and with the air OF one who
expounds): The dispatch is not given out
in accordance with the policy Of this depart
ment to give out nothing which. in its judg-
ment. is of such a nature that its contents
ought not TO be given out"
Several seconds OF dazed silence. followed by
great laughter.

sadly. and the secretary grinned and tapped

RUssrA's APoLoGET,o STATEMENT.

The official proclamation of the Russian
government concerning the war shows in
sincerity and Inconsistency. The avowed
object of the proclamation is TO explain
Russia's unpreparedness for war. 1t seems
surprising that a government universally
conceded TO be the most absolute military
despotism on earth should find it necessary
to make such an explanation, either for it's
own people or for others. Latest statistics
place Russia's standing army in time Of
peace at 1.O9S. 900 men and her war strength
at more than 100000. The Russian army
is the largest in the world, and if she was
not prepared for war there must have been
gross i~ncompetency somewhere.
The statement is the more surprising be-
cause Russia's aggressive policy in the
East, which has been going on for years.
must have assured her that il would event.
uate in war either with Japan or some
other power. The statement charges japan
with having tried by a sudden and treacher-
Gus attack Ito obtain an easy success in a
war long desired" If Pussia knew that
Japan has long desired war for which she
was continually furnishing provocation by
her aggressions. why was she unprepared
for IL?
The whole tone of the statement is apollo
getic. 1t says: 'The distance of the terri
tory and the desire of the Emperor to main
tain peace were the causes of the impossi-
bility of the more complete and earlier
preparations for war" Yet it has been no.
torious for more han two years past that
Russia was massing troops in Manchuria.
Further statements are that much time
Is now necessary TO strike at JAPAN" that
operations on land must not be expected
for some time yet" that Russia must
await the event in patience" etc.
Aside from apologizing for Russia's unpre-
paredness for war the statement seems in
tended to minimize the Importance Of the
Japanese naval victories. to emphasize the
difficulties in prosecuting war at so great a
distance and to give assurance that 1t will

MINIMUM IRE LOSS
IN BALTIMORE GIVEN
Valuation Based Upon Amounts
Placed on Tax Duplicate
by the Owners.

BALTIMORE. Feb 1s-It was learned
from an authoritative source to-day that
the tax assessments on the realty in the
burned district were approximately be-
tween S20.O0O.000 and 2 100000. and that the
assessments on average stocks OF goods
consumed i'm the fire were between SJ0.oo.Oo0
and $50, O00 AT this time OF the year.
however. the stocks carried by merchants
were much heavier than the average. AS
the real estate was assessed at three
fourths Of its value. these figures would
indicate a total loss by reason OF the fire
of about $4,000 at the lowest figures.
Insurance experts were in an optimistic
frame OF mind to-day over the prospect that
the aggregate insurance loss will be con-
siderably smaller than was az first ex-
pected. They now are confident that the
loss caused by the cOnhagration viii not
exceed 100000 and that IL will not be
under 100000.

PANAMAIAN HISTORY AND THE
DENOCRACY.

Panamaian history is being made very
fast. The constitution adopted by the con-
vention called for that purpose was OFF,
cially promulgated on the 10th inst. and
DR.. Manuel Amador was unanimously
elected President and will be inaugurated
tomorrow. a dispatch from Panama says
great preparations are being made for the
inauguration. The United States minister
at Bogota cabled the State Department I'M
der date of Feb. -: Complete quiet pre-
walls everywhere. Talk of Panama seems
to have subsided." This evidently referred
to talk Of invading Panama. Finally, a
Washington dispatch of the 10th stated that
Portugal had formally recognized the indie
pendence of Panama, leaving Spain and
Turkey the only European governments
that have not.
The Senate has agreed to vote on the
Panama canal treaty not later than the sd
inst, and as the result of the vote is a fore
gone conclusion, the ratification of the
treaty is a question of only a few days.
Tina done. the President will doubtless be-
gin at once TO carry out the measures au-

the treaty for the construction of the canal.
and work on it will not be long delayed.
This rapid succession of events and the
growing indications that Panama will have
a stable government and become a prosper
Gus country will be gratifying to everybody
except the leaders of the Democratic party
who lave been opposing the administra-
TONS Panama policy in the hope of making
a campaign issue out of il. OF course, they
wanted the canal, but they were opposed to
all the steps and measures by which it was
secured. They regarded the secession of
Panama from Colombia as an outrage and
were almost ready to take up arms in favor
of Colombia; the independence of Panama
never should have been recognized, though
nearly every civilized government has done
so; entering into a canal treaty with the
new government was all wrong, and so on.
If the obstructionists could have defeated
all these practical measures for obtaining
the canal and could nave got it as a Christ
mas gift from Colombia, or through the
kind offices of some good fairy or guardian
angel, they would have had a great cam
paign issue, but they failed at every point.
The stars in their courses were against
them. and every page of recent Panamaian
history is also a record Of Democratic folly
in opposing the inevitable.
oliver p. Morton one said the Democratic
party was like a man riding backward in a
railroad CART never saw anything till it
had got past it. 1t has been so with most
of the great events of recent times, and the
result is the party has never quite caught
up with the course of events. It's great
principles are obsolete before they are
formulated and it's paramount issues are
dead before they are born. Ten years hence
perhaps a Democratic national convention
may congratulate the world on Americas
great gift TO civilization, the Panama canal,
and point with pride to the fact that it is an
absolutely nonpartisan waterway.

The rural free delivery system has existed
long enough TO have demonstrated its popu-
larity. its usefulness in many directions and
its possibility of almost indefinite growth.
1t would be a great misfortune If, in its
infancy. 1t should be handicapped in dignity
and usefulness by a graft of individual serv-
ice and private gain. That graft once fast
ened on II would be almost impossible to get
rid OF. and in future years we should have
the srectacle Of an important branch of the
public service hybridized with a private
dickering business that would open the door
for perpetual scandal. The best thing for
the government. the public and the carriers
themselves is for them TO depend on their
salaries alone and not become errand boys
and hucksters for private individuals. Uncle
