MR.. HAYS NOTE.

MANY an editor was wondering
4 Il how Secretary Hay would answer
the Russian note relative to Chinese
neutrality. But now that we have the
reply it appears the only sensible thing
that could have been said.
The agreement Of both belligerents
at the opening OF the war was due to
the suggestion OF our government, and
naturally any disposition to violate it
concerns us. Russia claims that China
has violated the rules pertaining to
neutrals. and Japan counters. conse-
ouentiy, Russia declares that in future
she will not recognize china's neu-
trality.
TO this Mr.. Hay replies in effect that
the question of the violation Of neu-
trality is not to be determined ex parte
and by one Of the helligerents: It is
rather a question to be determined by
all the neutral powers. Consequently
our foreign representatives are in
siruoted to inform the governments to
which they are accredited that we de-
size them With US to insist on. the
agreement Of last February being

WANT AN INCREASE
IN APPROPRIATION
Street and Sewer Department
Bills Before Council for
Approval
AFTIR ,NOs OF TOTAL ASSESSMENT

Two bills viii be introduced by the
Street and Sewer Commission at this
Legislature when that body gets down
to business. The measures were read
at last nights session Of City Council
and referred to the law committee for
a report on the same.
One bill provides for a loan TO make
necessary improvements to streets and
sewers in the city and the other for
an increase in the annual appropriation
received by the department from the
'city. Both measures are important and
will be carefully considered by Coun-
ell before that body takes any action
on them.
The Street and Sewer Directors de-
sire Councils approval of both meas
.ures before presenting them to the
General Assembly. with that obje {
in view the proposed acts were pre-
.sented and read before Council last
might.
The bill providing for an increase in
the commissions annual appropriation
provides that the department shall re-
ceive three -thousandths (.0O3) Of the
total assessed value of real estate in
the city annually. fhis would mean
an increase, according to the total as
.sessed value of real estate at present,
of about $4,000 in the boards ap-
preparation.
The total assessed value of real es-
tate in Wilmington at present is about
S44, 900. 900. three-thousandths of which
is $4,000. This amount is S32 900
more than the present annual appropri-
.atfon of the department but with fhis
increase many believe the amount too
small for the needs of the depart
ment.
Council will probably take action IN
both measures next Thursday night.

A Rain of Bullets.
The festival ceremonies had lust
ended, when simultaneously with the
salute fired from the st. Peter and
St Paul fortress a rain of bullets
swept over the little chapel built over
the frozen Neva in front of the winter
palace, where Emepror Nicholas and
every member of the oumanoff family
were participating in the service.
The bullets went high entering win

along the water front, from which

and the members Of the diplomatic
corps. including Ambassador McCor-
mick, Secretary Eddy and Secretary
Bliss and all the hight dignitaries Of

Messing the glitte-ing spectacle be-
low.
Many of the bullets struck the op-
posite wall and clattered down on
the parquetted floor of the white sa-
Ion. The first impression Of those
who heard the crash was that it was
due to falling crystals from the glass
chandeliers. and caused by concus-
sion from the booming gun.
Everybody had been laboring under
more or less nervous strain because
of the strike situation, and when the
truth was realized the windows we're
hastily vacated and the greatest ex-
citement reigned within the palace.
Lieutenant General Fullon, chief Of
police Of st. Petersburg, himself pick
ed up a missile in the white salon. It
was the size of a birds egg.
Although the actual ceremony was
ended, the emperor remained, and ac-
companied the Metropolitan and cler-
gy as they circled the pavilion around
the chapel to bless the gorgeous stand
ards of the famous guard regiments
assembled there. Then the process
sion moved back to the palace and the
original programme was carried out.
The emperor displayed splendid
nerve. He did not show trace Of
excitement He received the diplo-
mats in his usual cordial, gentle man
ner, reviewed the guard regiments on
the square behind the palace, and sub
sequently had luncheon served in the
state dining room.

some THINes M Ned.

VATE HAVE a notion while our read
w ers are making " ,neir minds
as TO the material needs OF this city for
1905 to offer a suggestion or two from
another side
Napoleon said that what France
needed was mothers-to bear sons to
ill the ranks Of his armies. some say.
But we think the great Corsican had
deeper meaning France needed
men Of character. industry and So
briety, and that mothers were largely
responsible for the making Of such
men.
But, anyway. the first need Of Will
mington. or OF any community, is a
psychological need. Given the men
and women. we can perform wonders,
just as we have performed wonders.
Most men and women possess a posi-
tive and a negative side to their quail
tiles. A city. too. has its Individuality
which Is many sided. Sometimes we
see a man who has slouched along for
years. content with subsistence. sud-
denly wake up brace himself, and start
out to do great things. That is just
what a city may do.
We want 10 turn the courageous.
energetic. optimistic side TO the front
during the year 1905. When Chicago
one day went up in ashes. the homeless
and despondent people the next day
looked on the ruins and despaired. But
somebody with a stout heart set his
teeth hard and said: Il will". In a
few days that was the motto on every
lip and Chicago arose from her ashes
The fire made Chicago. people are
wont to say. Not so; the fire gave an
opportunity for the latent courage and
faith that the people Of the stricken
city possessed; and the rest was easy.
In the first place. one wants to take
down the map and take a careful sur
vey Of a territory of a hundred miles OF
which Wilmington is the center. Two
OF the greatest trunk lines OF America
pass our doors. Almost at our front
door is one Of the noblest streams on
this continent leading out to all the
ports OF the world. Just yonder are
the hills OF Pennsylvania, containing
the richest iron and coal deposits in
the world. And a railroad runs from
the foot OF these mountains to our
wharves. South Of us lies a peninsula
"a verltable garden, which produces
things that men need in greater variety
than any other spot similar In size
And who are we? Some are enter
prising men Who have come from other
states and other lands, attracted by
the magnificent opportunities here.
But most Of us arc of the old native
stook--descendants OF hardy ances-
tors that first knew Wilmington as a
village and left it thriving young
city. Have we less energy, less enter
prise and less faith than they?
No; but we need TO turn these quail
tiles TO the front. We want to kick
energetioally when we are imposed
upon, but the kicking habit is unpleas-
ant as well as expensive.
We want first Of all to be virtuous,
and see that the other fellow. espec-
tally If he Is a public official, is. For
a city that is moral. clean, the schools
open and parks inviting. is sure to be
an Industrious. an optimistic city. This
is a little thought on the psychology
of our progress.
