The Cuban Lottery Bill.

President Paima's veto of the lottery bill
passed by the Cuban congress Is based upon
the high ground of character and the sound
sense of practical craftsmanship. The
Cuban senator whom he quotes as describ-
ing lottery as social gangrens' has a
genius for phrase making. It Is just that.

THE undersigned Colombian senators

The Anglo-Japanese Alliance.

From the New York Tribune.
Amid the unquestionably ominous fea-
lures of the situation IN eastern Asia and
the apparent drift of affairs toward war,
it is we'll to bear In mind the existence of
defensive, IL not an offensive alliance
between Great Britain and Japan The
treaty Of alliance was made two years ago
this month to remain In force at least five
years. and indefinitely thereafter until one
year after 1t shall have been denounced;
provided. however. that II at the time set
for its termination either party shall be
engaged In war it shall continue ipSo factO
In force until peace Is concluded. The alli-
ance is therefore practically certain to last
until the present controversy In Corea and
Manchuria is settled. The treaty recog-
nizes the Independence and calls for the
maintenance of the territorial integrity of
China and Corea; but 1t also recognizes
and is meant to maintain the interests of
both it's makers in those countries, and eS-
peeially the peculiar interests of Japan in
Corea and 1t recognizes the propriety of
either powers taking any measures de-
fensive or aggressive, that may be neces-
sary for the safeguarding of Its interests
there. In case either party thus becomes
involved In war the other will use its
efforts to maintain the neutrality Of all
other powers. But should a second power
join in the war against either party. then
the other party to the treaty will come to
it's alIy's assistance and conduct the war
and make peace in common with 1t. In a
war between Japan and Russia, then, Great
Britain would remain neutral. using her
efforts to keep all other powers neutral.
But should any other power-France or
Germany or even China-join Russia
against Japan. then Great Britain would
join forces with Japan and fight both the
other powers Neither party Is to make,
without consulting the other. any arrange
ments with third power prejudicial to its
ally's interests. Japan, therefore, cannot
make terms with Russia conceding the lat
ter's possession and control of Manchuria
without consulting Great Britain and seeing
that the proposed terms are satisfactory
to her. Finally, whenever. in the opinion OF
either party, the interests of either are in
Jeopardy. the two governments will COM
municate with each other fully and frankly.
That means that in the present controversy
Great Britain has been consulted concern
ing every step taken by Japan. and 1t is to
be assumed that every such step has re-
ceived Great Britain's approval

congressman and the Law.

1t appears to have been clearly demon
strated at the trial of former Representa-
tive briggs OF Brooklyn, charged with re-
ceiving money for services rendered in con-
nection with a government contract that he
was unaware that he was violating any
law or that he was engaged In anything
sayoring of an improper transaction. His
frank admission that he had received money
for aid given to the manufacturing COM
pany, and his plea that he was not then
member of Congress within the meaning
of the law, inasmuch as he had not yet

had not been impressed with the fiagrancy
OF his offense. This case will chiefly be Of
value In serving notice in an impressive
manner upon all members of the national

negatives or use their influence" for valu-
able considerations when dealing with the

sion is not to be doubted That it is fire.
quently violated through ignorance, as
seems to have been the case with this
Brooklyn congressman, is altogether I'M
likely. The ends Of justice will probably
be served by the exaction of the light
penalty which the presiding judge evidently
intends to impose, for even with the great
est moderation the court cannot escape in
hcting upon this man the serious, disgrace
bearing punishment of rendering him hence-
forth incapable of holding any office of

The Dardanelles and War.

Nhie the news from Toxic ST. Peters
burg ana the other sources of war and
peace bulletins continues TO alternate be-
tween those two extremes-with a decidedly
warlike tone today-one of the most inn
pertant points of interest is Constautinople
Inc authorities there are now confronted
with problem which bears with import
ahce not only upon the immediate war pos
sibliity between Russia and Japan but upop
the chance of England's embodiment in the

Werships of various kinds in the Black
sea- an altogether dispropertionate naval ar

OF these vessels are undoubtedly antiauated
but of possible use as golfers and trans
ports Others are, 1t Is known. new and
or modern design and high power. If re-

would have weight In the prospective con-

the ancient rule OF the Ottoman empire for

The correspondence which The Star on
yesterday reproduced from the current
number Of the North American Review re-
latina to the suggestion Of the mama of
Mr. Root in connection with the vice presi-
Dental nominat ton In 1900 reflects the high
est credit on everybody directly mentioned
In 1t.
1t reflects credit on Mr. Payne because 1t
shows how ready he had been to appraise
the value of Mr.. Root as political guam
tity The Secretary Of War had at that
time been in office but few months, and
had not had full opportunity to impress
himself upon the public at large for all
that he was worth. He was just getting a
firm grip on the situation. But Mr.. Payne
had already taken his measure. and saw in
him a worthy running mate for the very
able man who was then at the head Of af-
fairs. Mr.. Payne's suggestion was, on gem
eral principles. an excellent one.
Mr. McKinley's Judgment may be quite
as highly complimented. He, too. had been
quick to see the unusual executive capacity
of Mr. Root and. naturally enough. wanted
to keep him at his side In post which at
that time was of paramount Importance to
the President. The full responsibilities both
in Cuba and the Philippines were just dis
closing themselves. and the right man In
the War Department would be worth his
weight In gold. This Mr.. Mckinley plainly
saw. and. properly enough. advised against
the proposed retirement Of Mr.. Root from
the cabinet even to become the Vice Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Root figures in the matter in a light
certain to add to his already strong pres
tige with his party and the country. He
had left his law practice to take up the du-
ties of the war office at a time when the
country needed the services of the best man
available: and now that his chief was ex-
pressing perfect satisfaction with his work
he was willing to forego higher honors and
ease to carry the work on. AS in the first
instance he had sacrificed money returns
from lucrative law business to enter the
War Department. so now he responded to
the same appeal and at another loss to re-
main there and labor for the public good.
And yet Mr.. Root has had a large reward,
and as he'is comparatively young man it
may be that there Is more for him still to
reap. His record as cabinet officer ranks
with the best of half century. and it will
not grow dim before 1905 His, indeed. may
be one of the most prominent of the names
considered by his party for the presidential
nomina ton of that year. ...,a

The Opposition to the Treaty.

Tt would he difficult to describe adequately
the far-reachIna confusion that would re-
suit from the rejection of the canal treaty.
but one phase of 1t is suggested by the DIFF
ferent PURPOSES of those-not all of them
are in of1ice-who compose the opposition.
There are those who want the canal dug
across Nicaragua. They have always Ia
vored that route. They now hold that imrne-
diateiy upon the rejection of the Hay-Her-
ran treaty by the Colombian congress the
President should have turned to Nicaragua
and Costa Rica and opened negotiations for
a treaty in that quarter. They insist that
the Spooner amendment made this manda-
tory The President had no longer choice.
and violated the law when. even to accept
the favorable terms of Panama, he closed
an agreement with the new government
As they see the matter, therefore. the re-
lection of the pending treaty will mean the
digging of the Nicaragua canal and hence
their activity against the treaty
There are those who want the canal dug
at Panama. but insist that the terms be
made with Colombia. Their idea is that the
rejection of the treaty will mean the col
lapse of the new government on the 18TH
mus. and the reassertion of Colombian con-
trsl in circumstances that will make all

States. They would stoutly oppose the
proposition that the President GO to Mica
ragua. If they had reason to fear that the
rejection of the treaty would mean the
abandonment of Panama and the selection
of Nicaragua they would support the treaty.
Their sensitiveness on the subject of the
new government on the isthmus Is largely
political. The tears they have shed over
the humiliation of their beloved country In
its dealings with the Panamans would not
float ship through canal either at Pan
anna or at Nicaragua. Give them a little
political capital at the expense of the Presi-
dent and than the canal at Panama, and
they Will be happy.
We then come to those who want no canal
