The Return Of Mr.. Bunau-variIla

The appearance Of the following para
graph in the Springfield Republican is un-
fortunate for a newspaper which desires
public reputation for fairness:
Its probable that BUNAU.vAHrLLA had heard
that $4,000 Napoleon was wanted for the Panama
Canal and this may explain his visit TO tho White
House this week and bis oner Of his Incompatible
services 10 the President
We know nothing OF the subjects Of
conversation between President RoosE-
WELT and Mr.. BUNAU-VARILLA.-. As the
chief efficient promoter Of the selection
by this Government Of the Panama route
in preference to the Nicaragua route and
the transfer TO the United States Of the
rights and property of the French COM
pany, il is likely that Mr.. BUNAU-VARILLA
preserves a lively interest in the under
taking, and as a first class engineer,
formerly employed in the work OF con-
struction and practically familiar with
conditions on the Isthmus, it would not
be strange if he had views and ideas con-
corning the canal. If he has such TO
offer his advice is surely entitled to a
respectful hearing, whether il is accepted
or not by the responsible authorities.
But that Mr.. BUNAU-VARILLA has come
TO America seeking any Office in the gift
OF the President, or that he covets en-
ployment on the canal job in any capsc-
ity, or that he wants or would be willing
20 accept peouniary compensation in any
form, or TO derive material benefit from
his knowledge Of the subject, would be
utterly incredible to the Springfield Re
publiean il that journal understood the
Rentlemans character.

The Vigilance of Directors

The eminent harmonizer OF the EquitA-
BILE, the Hon CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEw, was
reported yesterday as saying:
Il will not reply 10 any charges that have been
directed personally against members OF tho board.
II thought those charges were true would not
stay IN the board twelve houu, and neither would
the other directors. No, won't say that We
would ali stay and there would be the biggest son
OF house cleaning.
The charges that the funds Of the society have
been spscuatod with and that the otnceTS and d.
reotors have benefited by the profits OF the society
are false The Affairs OF the society are conducted
oompe,ently, ably and judlciously. and II Is a.
sound as any savings bank in the oountr1-more
so than most Of them"
The proper spirit appears In the frat
paragraph OF the foregoing statement.
In the second paragraph appears the
tranquil confidence born Of full mowl-
edge Of the affairs which 1t il Mr.. DE-
PEw's business as director to know and
supervise.
Yet only one day earlier, on Thursday
morning, the same director had been re-
ported as saying:
When anybody attacks me snsweT the attack
I should say the persons who should answer such
an attack are those Immediately affected byh
can't answer for Others about . thing Of which
know nothing"
Much can happen In twenty-four hours.
Is there now to be, with Mr. DEPBw's en-
ergetic and able cooperation, the biggest
sort of a house cleaning!
1t would be folly TO suppose for mo-
ment that Mr.. DEPRw has any illusions
about the Equitable. He is far too capa-
BILE and too shrewd an observer and
much too experienced a man Of business
for that. Mr.. DEPEw, we take it, is but
little concerned with the charges that
Mr.. HYDE paid for his frivolities, his din
ners and his masked balls out Of the
treasury Of his insurance company. Even
if those charges are true. and il seems
that they are, they are relatively trivial
and beside the real issue. What that
issue is Mr.. DEPEw knows as well as we
do and he knows that no mere mutualiza-
ton Of the Equitable is adequate to meet
il. We asked Mr.. JACOB H. SCHIFF a
little more than a month ago il he and
his co-syndics in this shocking scandal
were able 20 take hint. We have waited
patiently to see if they could and would,
and it would now seem as il there were
little use in waiting any longer.
Does Mr.. DEPEw propose TO pay US
the undeserved but touching compliment
Of imputing to us a knowledge superior
70 his own, and does he affect to regard
the proceedings Of the eminent BRACK-
EFT, the excellent Mr.. CBnnLEs and the
chaste and Ingenious Mr.. MoRdEETHAU
as really reaching the core Of this most
momentous and deplorable situation'

Russla'S Weakness Is Germany's OPP
pOrtunity.

That Emperor WILLIAMS visit TO Tan
gier has a political motive IL virtually
admitted by Count Won BELOW, who
pointed out in the Reichstag that Morocco
is an independent Power with which the
German Empire is, and intends to remain,
in direct diplomatic relations, and he
added that the Berlin Government was
determined to maintain an open door
in that country, not only for a limited
period, but forever As Germans do not
possess the commercial privileges Of
French subjects in Algeria, or anywhere
else in French territory, the Chancellors
declaration is not unreasonably con-
strued as an announcement that neither
now nor at any future time will Ger
many-unless France can prevail on her
to change her mind-peTmit the incor-
poration Of Morocco with Algeria.
IL will be rememered that both Eng
land and Spain, which Of all European
countries are the most deeply interested
in Morocco-the former having been at
one time the owner Of Tangier, while
the latter still has footholds in North
Africa-have indicated a willingness TO
delegate to France the task Of
maintaining peace and order in the
Shereefs dominions. IL was Of course
foreseen in London and Madrid, as well
as in Paris, that the execution Of such
task would practically result in the ss-
sumption Of a relation on the part OF
France toward the Sultan OF Morocco
which insensibly would become indis-
tinguishable from that held by Great
Britain toward the Khedive Of Egypt.
The Mohammedan sovereign would con-
tinue ostensibly to rule but a European
commissioner would govern for him.
To the projected arrangement no OBJ
lection was heard from Berlin at the time
when France, Great Britain and Spain
reached an understanding on the subject.
Nor is it likely that any move calculated
TO obstruct the fulflment Of the French
programme would now be made by
Germany had Russia retained the pres
tige which undoubtedly she possessed
only year ago in Europe. The out
come Of the war with japan, however,
has convinced the world that. except
as regards the numbers, the valor and
the endurance Of her rank and file, Rus
STA has none Of the attributes that con-
sfitute a great military Power. She

pert tacticians among her Generals;

In 1900 and 1870.

In 1869 and 1870 President GRANT, his
private secretaries and the Navy De-
partment were trying their prentice
hands on Dominican diplomacy. The
venerable chief clerk Of the Department,
Mr.. HUNTER, kept the Office aloof from
schemes which put the honorable diplo-
macy Of the United States at the mercy
Of BABCoCK and robson.
The theory was that if the President
could negotiate a protocol or treaty with
BAEz Of Santo Domingo the naval forces
Of the United States could be put lawfully
and straightway at the service Of BAEz
by our Executive until Santo Domingo
and the United States Senate had rati-
fed the protocol or treaty.
Whoever would read what GRANT en-
deavored TO do with Santo Domingo in
1859 and 1870 and the Senate prevented
may turn 70 the fourth volume of
PIERcE's Memoir OF Charles Sumner. ="
He will discover that the effort Of those
who were manipulating GRANT and
BAEz was to get the naval forces Of the
United States in their hands for their
own purposes.
II is not the use Of American tax gath
erers and banks that MORALES is now
seeking so much as the use Of the Ameri-
can navy to repel his enemies.

scarcely worthy Of the Middle Ages.
Even though unmolested by an enemy
her armies would waste away from dis
ease. As for her navy, II il almost
worthless, and It never will be other
wise so long a. the Russian naval adj
ministration is pervaded with the fraud
that seems inseparable from the bureau
cratic system.
Even the pecuniary resources with
which Russia has been credited, owing
10 her alliance with France, have proved
illusory. Not even in Paris can the
Gar any longer borrow money. whereas
a Japanese loan il taken eagerly all over
the Western world. In a word no mill

that the two weakest members Of
the Triple Alliance, Austria and Italy,
would together be much more than a
match for Russia in the latters present
condition. 1t is probable. indeed, that
her Austrian coadjutor alone would be
abundantly able to protect Germany's
eastern frontier, so that the whole Of
Emperor WILLIAMS great military
strength could be concentrated upon an
invasion Of France. There is no reason
TO believe that France would emerge
the victor from such a duel, especially
as she would be obliged to detach a part
OF her army TO defend her southeastern
frontier from attack by Italy.
We do not for a moment suppose that
Germany contemplates an unprovoked
invasion OF France. What we wish TO
point out is that France no longer dares
provoke one, owing TO the elimination
Of Russia from the class OF military
Powers OF the first magnitude. 1t is
thoroughly understood, both in Berlin
and Paris, that as things are now France
dare not even protest in a peremptory
way against Count Won Bellows an
nouncement, which certainly is hard TO
reconcile with her designs on Morocco.

notification that with the retirement of
Russia into the background Germany
means TO claim the hegemony Of Europe,

She must, in other words, renounoe the

perhaps even OF partnership, with her

We detect a fixed determination as
fixed as it is unfair, TO appoint a scape-
goat for the sin offering Of the Com
munity Of the Equitable. The gentle
man selected for this deplorable distinc-
ton is not. as the less informed have been
led To believe, that very beautiful but
singularly indiscreet young man, Mr..
JAMES HAzEN HYDE, Mr.. HYDE's quail
fcations for the Office would appear TO
be transcendent; but by a strange irony
offate, coupled, il must be confessed, with
much arrangement and scientific fore
thought, it has been contrived that the
lot Of AzAzEL should fall on another.
Who this unhappy individual is has
been made sufficiently conspicuous by
the recent publications Of the daily press,
but We have always conceived the pos
sibility Of a sudden manifestation of in
dependence on the part of that intelligent
and self-contained animal the goat, and
have looked to see it, some day, when
launched forth into the wilderness with
it's prievous burden Of the malefactions
Of others, deliberately turn about and
march back again.
The genius of Mr., EDWARD H. HARR1-
MAN is, we cheerfully admit, entirely ade-
ouate TO saddle and equip AzAzEL, and
launch him, too; but can he guarantee
that that highly cultivated and deeply
conscientious quadruped will hold his
course? -"4

CHAAIPLATN, and the founding Of Mont
real, In i8l2, by Sieur DE MAIsoSNEUvK
The establishment Of the Dominion by
the British North America act Of 1857
was followed by the addition, in 1870,
Of the Northwest Territories as part
Of the Dominion Treaties were then
made with the Crees, Chippewas, Sal
teauK, ojibways, Blackfeet, BloOds and
Piegans. These treaties provided for
reservations whose total area exceeded
5000 900 acres, no foot Of which could
be alienated, even by consent Of the
Indians except by an order from the
Governor in Council. The tracts were
even exempted from appropriation by
railways. An annual appropriation was
made for the Indians benefit, schools
we're established and systematic in
struction was given in the arts Of farm
ing and other industries.
Like our own Indians. those Of Canada
are not a high type OF citizen, but on the
whole they behave themselves and play
a useful part in the community. Their
numerical increase constitutes no mem
ace TO law and order in the Dominion.

Canada,s policy regarding her red
men has been built and conducted on
larger lines than our own. il Il true that
she has had a smaller number with which
to deal, and perhaps a more peaceable
type. II is also true that her Indian
question is largely matter Of recent
years. Prior to 1890 there was no COM
petition between white and Indian for
the plains Of the Northwest. White men
did not then want them. Since that time
there has been room for both. In the
older provinces the Indians, who now
number about IS 900 in that region, have

WON'T MY BROOKLYN FERRY.
Mayor 60 Veto the BIlI AuthOTi ring the PuF-
ehAse-Mystery Of It's origin.


chAse-Mystery Of Its origin.
Mayor Mcclellan held a public hearing
yesterday on a bill passed by the Logs
lature authorizing the city TO purchase
the property and franchises Of the Union
Ferry Company. A peculiar feature about
the measure is that President Fairohild
Of the Union company called on the Mayor
before the hearing and told him that the
company had in no way inspired the billie
introduction. At the hearing later the
Mayor remarked:
This IL the most mysterious bill have
ever received from Albany. have made
many inquiries concerning il, but can
hnd nobody who will acknowledge re-
sponsibility for its introduction
The hearing was largely attended BY
representatives Of trucking and trans
portation interests. Some OF them urged
the Mayor to sign the bill, 80 that the city
could take over the ferries and provide a
better service: others asked the Mayor not
TO approve II unless the city was prepared
to take over the ferries at once.
The Mayor will veto the bill, but will
probably accede to the plea Of the company
FOR a reduction Of its rent. The company
has consented TO open its books 20 the
Comptroller.
