John Hay and the Peace with Spain.
In the Washington correspondence Of
the North American Review for August
there appears the following statement:
They 1.-THE foreign diplomatistsl know. for example,
what some Journalists seem disposed TO overlook.
that Mr.. HAY. being At that time the Ambassador
or the United States at tine Court OF 81. Jsmes's.
took no part in the framing Of the protocol which
Spain or In negotiating subsequently at Paris the
definite treaty Of peace"
1t is true that at the time of the fra
ming Of the protocol Mr.. HAY was the
Ambassador Of the United States at
London, the Hon. WILLIAM R. DAY being
then the Secretary OF State.
But Mr.. HAY succeeded Mr.. DAY in
the State Department on Oct. /, 1893,
the very day on which the Peace Com
mission met at Paris. From that time
until the treaty was signed, on Dec. 10,
he was at the head Of the Department,
supervising the Americans Immediately
concerned in negotiating the instrument
of peace; and 1t was to Mr.. HAY that they
must have reported progress and ap-
piled for instructions when in doubt.
That Is, unless we suppose that
President MCKINLEY entirely ignored
his Secretary Of State in such important
negotiations.

xozum Ener.eum p.l.nduu Est,

To rns Enron OF THE SuN-sfy: I noticed In
your issue Of yesterday a statement tevidcntly
printed with pride, to the eject that in twenty
Ave years the suburbs Of New York would extend
away OUT into New jersey Instead OF being an
occasion for eradication. this should be an occa-
siou for thoughtful sadness.
II would be I good thing II Ia twenty -nve years
New York wero scattered. a. also London, Paris
ana every big city In the world. On nrst blush
this may seem . crank opinion, but II 10 nothing
of the kind. while for the rich OF well TO do few
Of the modern big cities may be place OF more or
les pleasure. for the many II 10 allow purgatory.
This 10 indisputably true. Mans natural life 10

him that. or let him through fatuousness deny
himself and the result 10 certain misery or wasting

But II may be argued. the big city 10 . necessary

New Mexico and Arizona want statehood. and
they are going TO accept Jus, 40 soon "a Congress

There has never been any doubt shout the posi-.
tion OF New MEXICO upon this subject. Her people
have always been In favor OF self government.
In Arizona, however. the case his been somewhat
diGerens. A considerable element In that Terri.
tory has been violently opposed 10 statehood, and
II the proposition had been submitted To the people
. year ago this element might have been able
to defeat II. but American Ideas are rapidly gain
ing the ascendency In Arizona"
A bill enabling New Mexico and Arr
zona to vote separately on the question
Of joining their future destinies under
one State Government would be fair
measure. II majority Of the people Of
Arizona should 80 vote it ought to end
the matter. But II the method Of ascer-
tanning the will OF the people most CON-
cerned were what we understand the
New Mexican newspaper to mean, that
Is, an election in which majority Of the
people OF the two Territories combined
should determine joint. statehood, with
the voting population OF New Mexico
greatly outnumbering that Of Arizona,
then we should call the proceeding any
thing but in accordance with American
ideas"
To permit New Mexico to vote away
for all future time Arizona's independent
existence would be outrageous.

Arisona's Right to Her Identity.

There are signs Of renewal, on tho
New Mexican side at least, Of last years
campaign to force Arizona into an
undesired statehood. The position of
that Territory was perfectly clear at
the last session Of Congress. The evil
denoe was overwhelming that while the
people Of Arizona would like to be adj
lnitted to the Union as Arizona, pre-
serving the geographical boundaries that
now mark her separate existence as q
Territory, they would prefer an indefinite
pstponement to any merger with New
Mexico.
The proposal to concilIAte them by
styling the new State Arizona, thus
giving them the shadow while they
lost the substance, did not affect their
attitude in the slightest degree.
Tho spirit which Arizona showed
last year and up to the adjournment
Of Congress in March OF the present
year was natural and cTeditabie. We

newspapers, the Albuquerque Journal,

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Rcar Admiral
Charles Edgar Clark. who won fame during
the Spanish war by bringing the battleship
Oregon from tho Pacific station around 70
Cuba In dxty-nve days, will be retired as an
of3cer OF the navy tomorrow on account
Of age. Admiral Clark was appointed TO
Annapolis In 1880 from Vermont. He wa
graduated In 1858. From 1893 to 1865 he
was on tho Ossipee OF the western Gull
blocksding squadron and took part In tho
battle Of Mobile Bay. He was sent to tho
Pacinc station, where he remained until
1857 on the Vanderbilt.
From the Vanderbilt he went to the
Guwanse. which was wrecked of Vancouver
In 1888. There were only thirty-three sur
vivors, and though the nth officer In com.
mand Admiral Clark was the ranking officer
OF the little band. Before the party was
rescued from Hope Island they we're sur
rounded by 700 Indians.
Admiral Clark was sent to number Of
vessels and finally, ss Captain took COM
mand Of the Oregon. On March 10, 1893,
he was ordered to 70 to Key West and broke
all records for the Is 900 miles around the
Horn. There were no breaks nor DELAYS

seven numbers In rank for his Spanish war
service. In 1909 he was appointed this

EdwArd's coronation, but he declined to 60.

Tho Burned Church.

The destruction Of O great and fashion
able church In Fifth avenue will not
seriously diminish the church aooommo-
dations In that district, and more espe-
cially at this season It's loss viii not
deprive Of church privileges anybody in
that favored neighborhood who seeks
them.
In the Fifth avenue region, usually
defined as containing the Fifth, Twenty
fifth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-ninth and
Thirty-first Assembly districts, there was
population Of 241, 422 in 1900, and the
number cannot be much greater now.
1t is the part Of Manhattan borough
in which the population Is least crowded,
in spite OF the large number Of hotels and
apartment houses situated In 1t. For
example, the average Of families to q
dwelling in the Fifth avenue district u
less than three, while on the East Side
below Fourteenth street it Is eight, and
the number of persons TO dwelling Is
three times as many.
As to the matter of churches, too, the
Fifth avenue district is the most favored
part OF the town. The Federation of
Churches gave the number of its church
buildings in 1903 as lightweight Prot
estant and ten Roman Catholic, besides
eight synagogues, or far moro to the
population than in any other district.
It is also the district In which the value
Of church property lie the greatest and
the percentage Of church membership to
population is the largest.
1t will be seen, therefore, that il there
is any district Of the town from which
church building could be spared it is
the fortunate district in which was stu
ated the now destroyed St. Thomas's.
Moreover, In August the great majority
of the people who make up it's fashion
able congregation are out OF town.
Nor will the loss Of this church be moro
than temporary. st. Thomas's is a very
rich and fashionable parish, and what
ever amount Of money, in addition to the
sum obtained from the insurance, may
be required to replace it with an even
costlier edifce will be obtained easily.
Probably the rebuilding OF tho edifce
on a more imposing scale on the anne
site will DO started forthwith.

BALM FOR BROOKLYN MEN.
Compensation for Tunnel Ousted Citizens
q Joralom On Street.

1t Il probable that at to-day's meeting
Of tho Rapid Transit Commission Chief
Engineer Rice will recommend some form
Of compromise with the residents Of Jorale-
mon street. Brooklyn, whose properties
have been damaged because Of the e1cava.
tions beneath them for the new tunnel.
These property owners claim not only
compensation for the injuries done to their
houses, but also for having been Obliged
to find other homes because OF the nuisance
arising from the shafts sunk In the street.
Tho contractor has agreed to make good
the property damages, hut nothing more.
President Alexander F. Orr Of the COM
mission has. frequently insisted that the
Joralsmon street people should be recon-
pensed for the hardships they have SUI
Tered. Lawyers representing como OF
these property owners have been IN con-
ference with Mr.. Rice, and In view OF the
opinion held by Mr.. Orr the likelihood IL
that Mr.. Rice will advise comrensating
the householders II the commission has the
authority to commit the city to such !
course.
