TIE SULTANS BUSINESS.

The announced decision of the Sultan of Mo-
rocco in the Perdicars case is from one point
of view good, and from one bad. We are told
that he has agreed 10 grant all the demands of
the brigand chief in order TO expedite the re-
lease of the captlves. That is good, from our
point Of view. because It is the safe and speedy
release of the captive American citizen that we
are most directly interested in. That is the OBJ
ject Of the diplomatic demands that have been
made. That is the object of the sending of war
ships to Moroccan waters. An American citi-
zen, entitled to the protection of the American
government, is in perilous and unlawful captiv
ity. The immediate purpose of our government
is 10 secure his release and indemnity for his
wrongs. II that is 10 be done by granting the
outrageous demands OF outlaws, we'll and good,
So far as we are concerned.
From another point of view, however II IS
bad. 1t is an evil thing to pay blackmail to
brigands. 1t encourages them to continue in
brigandage. If this scoundrel Raisuli gets the
plumber and concessions he demands he will
be encouraged TO commit other acts Of deviltry
This yielding by the Sultan will be the prolific
cause of further trouble OF that there can be
little doubt. Morocco will hencefOrth be q good
place for foreigners 10 avoid, and II there are
no foreigners for the brigands 10 capture and
hold for ransom, those fellows will turn upon
the native government again and harry IT. They
are bound to keep up their pernicious activity
in some direction.
This. however. is TO be observed-that these
evil effects are the Sultan's business, not ours
This country does not ask him 10 grant the
brigands' demands. II simply asks him to Sc
cure the release OF its citizen. It prescribes
what is 10 be done. How It IS to be done II
leaves TO the Sultan. If he cannot comply with
lawful demands save by yielding to unlawful
demands, so much the worse for him. He must
bear the consequences. The United States Is
NOT dealing with Raisuli. II does not recognize

WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS
Little Credence GiUen to Rumors of
Port Arthur's Fall.
fFRoM THE TRIBUNE prTREAu.1


Washington June S-Army officers here are
cautious about accepting the persistent rumor
from various sources to-day OF the fall of Port
Arthur. They could not believe that the Rus
sian base. with its Notifications. had SO soon
passed into the possession of the Japanese The
experts agree that 1t is possible to take Port Ar
thur, on the theory that any stronghold may be
taken by attack from the land and Just now a
favorite topic among the officers here Is the
discussion OF the method by which the Japanese
may succeed in the occupation of Port Arthur.
There are all sorts OF plans suggested. OF vary
Ing degrees of aggression, but they all include
the employment Of artillery. 1t is also consid-
cred necessary that the attacking force shall
protect itself as 1t advances by means of
ditches and possibly effect an entrance to the
Qualifications by means Of a tunnel, rather than
attempt to scale batter down the wall
Against this the Russians may be expected to
use freely their machine and siege guns, raking
the moat. which officers say surrounds the
main Notifications OF Port Arthur. This moat
might be bridged by the Japanese, but such a
project is fraught with many perils and the
certainty of great loss to the invading army
The tunnel scheme Is favored as being less
costly In human life and more effective In OBJ
tanning position within the fortress The
construction of the defensive works at Port Ar
thur il such that the Russian guns command
raling fire OF all the approaches to the forts
and. In addition. 1t is possible to erect interior
barriers. which would sad to the difficulties of
the immediate reduction of the place. even
should the Japanese succeed IN getting over or
under the principal walls.
Army officers here take a keen interest In the
Port Arthur situation, mainly because II Is the
first occasion OF attempted occupation OF a fort
by a land force armed with the latest imple-
ments of warfare, and there numerous
theories which their authors expect to see justi-
fed In the fight at Port Arthur. Unless the
Russians have been rid1culouSly overrated. the

Kenney. Mr.. Hearst, who has now carried
twelve States and Territories. has no support
in New-York. Mr.. German, alone among the
leaders named for the nomination. could have
had cordial and unanimous Endorsement from
his own State; but at his urgent personal re-
quest the Maryland delegation was left unin-
structed.
Only one inference can be drawn from this
curious and pathetic record. The Democratic
party nowhere knows exactly what it wants. 1t
can nowhere unite enthusiastically on any
leader. 1t takes no positive or serious interest
in any mans political fortunes. 1t looks on
Presidential nomination this year as something
hardly worth fighting over. Real leadership is
at a discount and in no State section can
the Democracy be stirred to n stimulation of in
