General Kuropatkin had 1t in his power to

the other direction, and never came in touch

Public Building Sites.

Inc sundry civil bill as it finally passed
carried an appropriation of $4,000 for the
purchase of site for a building to accom-
Hhouate the bureau of American republics
now occupying rented quarters. The Sem
ate had adopted this provision with an
amendment stipulating that the site should
be located somewhere on the south side of
Pennsylvania avenue between Sd and 18th
streets west. The purpose of the amend
ment was entirely clear and wholly COM
mendable. 1t sought to carry out the ex-
eellent policy of locating future public
buildings of all kinds within the malI-ave-
nue. triangle. In conference the House
managers insisted upon the elimination of
the Senate's amendment and the paragraph
was enacted without restrictions leaving
the selection of a site open

Porto Rican and Filipino Visitors.

Secretary Taft did wise well as gem
erous thing in giving the battalion from
Porto Rico few more days in town. We
may be sure that the men will improve the
time in sightseeing, and as we are all SO
proud of the town ourselves it is easy to
believe that they will be favorably i'm
pressed. And of course the impression
they carry back home will be widely dis
tributed. Each man will become a mission
airy in behalf of this country. and by re-
counting a pleasant experience and describ-
ing what he saw awaken a deeper interest
among his friends and neighbors in this
government and its people. We shall gain
by this, and find our work in the island the
easier wherever the influence goes.
1t may likewise be said of the visiting
Filpinos that their entertainment is a good
investment for us. They have been in the
country some little time, and on the way
back home will travel across the continent
again. They have seen much, and doubt
less have been much impressed. Mission
aries also will they become among their
old neighbors when they get back. AS they
are people who like display of power and
color. their long experience at the st.
Louis exposition and their participation
here in the brilliant parade of Saturday
will remain impressive memories with them.
and influence their future.
And If these visitors have benefited by
observing us we also have benefited by OBJ
serving them. They have made an excel
lent appearance, and have been deservedly
complimented They have shown them
selves capable of doing a good and an i'm
portant thing well, and that is sufficient
ground for high expectations of them.
Under our form of government men who
make good soldiers make good citizens.
These Porto Ricans and Filipnos who are
now wearing Uncle Sans uniform with
credit TO themselves will be all the better
prepared and disposed to do their part In
civil life when at later day they may
choose to enter upon that.
We need quite much to be informed
about those who have recently come under
the protection of the flag as they do about
us. The better we know each other the
better we shall get along. When We visit
them or they visit us the information gain
ed is so much to the good for both.

Come On. SAYS Mr.. Rockefeller.

The Standard Oil Company, 1t is an

investigation of its affairs. Whether this

opposition. and once or twice been tenn

Santo Domingo.

Those senator's reported as anxious TO

interesting position. In some way they

1t would appear that the Monroe doctrine
explains the whole situation. In the first
place the European creditors of that coun-
try have had the doctrine in view. and been
restrained by its meaning and provisions.
Otherwise, through their governments, they
would long since have moved energetically
for the collection of their claims. 1t was
because that procedure would involve force,
and force might require occupation, and
occupation would at once challenge the at
titude of the United States toward the pow
ers in their relation to the American con-
tinents, that matters have been permitted
to drift this long.
