Value of the Battleship.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
All the movements of armies in a year
have not disturbed Japan much the
movements of one Russian fleet in the last
two weeks. All the events of the war have
not excited Russia as has the one spectacle
of the Baltic fleet sailing unafraid into the
China sea. Both nations realize that what
has not been settled by five great battles on
land may be settled by one battle at sea.
The enemies of Russia who have seen no
hope for her in military campaigns concede
that she may turn the tide of war in one
naval campaign. The European allies and
friends of Japan that have closed eyes and
ears to all that Russia has done on land
open eyes and ears to what she is doing at
sea, and voice their anxiety and alarm.
1t is admitted in the United States and
in Europe that at the crisis of titanic
struggle battleships are to turn the scale
one way or the other-that the determining
factor in this war, as it has been in other
wars, in power. This was the lesson
for us in the war of 1898. There is the same
lesson for US in the intense interest of the
whole world in the coming naval battle in
the far east. VIII we heed it and keep
strong in warships?

Douglas of Massachusetts,.

The democrats of Massachusetts have dis
covered that they did not elect a politician
TO the office of governor last November.
without hope of success, they took chances
on plain man of business, who by reason
OF his large means and lack of ambition
for office could afford a campaign and a
defeat Mr.. Douglas accepted their nomi-
nation, subscribed the money necessary for
the race, and to his own and everybody
else's surprise was elected. 1t was the most
astonishing of results in presidential year.
Then came the problem for the party
managers: What could they do with their
victory? Could Mr.. Douglas be converted
into a politician? Could his bosom be fired
with ambition? That would be necessary In
order to bring him into close touch and CO.
operation with their game. trained man
would have suited them better, but here was
an unframed man. and they must do the
best they could with the raw material.
They proceeded cautiously. Hints were
thrown out that something higher might be
in store for the man who had proved so
wonderful q vote-getter at such an election.
Was the presidency itself beyond his reach?

French Neutrality.

If a dispatch which comes today from
Tokyo by way of London is correct there
may be serious complications in far eastern
waters growing out of the violation of the
neutrality of France by Admiral Rojestven-
sky. This report is as follows:
Information received here is taken to in
dictate that the Russian squadron proposes
staying at kamranh bay until May T. Adj
miral Rojestvensky meanwhile sending out
cruisers to overhaul merchantmen proceed
ing along the trade route to the straits of
Formosa. The transports accompanying
the Russian squadron are reported to be
plying between Kamranh bay and Saigon
under the merchant flag of Russia.
Provided the Russian ships are lying with
in the three-mile limit. thus occupying
French waters. and therefore violating her
neutrality by remaining beyond the pre-
scribed limit of twenty-four hours, 1t will
be necessary, in such this dispatch
describes, for France either to GUST the
visitors by force, if they will not depart
upon request, or else to defend their right
to remain at Kamranh bay. In the latter
case a possible cause of war Immediately
arises between Japan and France, and in
circumstances which will warrant Japan in
calling upon England for assistance under
the terms of the treaty of alliance. That
treaty binds both parties to Intervention
in aid in case either is engaged in a war
with a third power and a fourth inter-
venes in behalf of the enemy.
According to dispatches from Paris. the
French government intends to remain
strictly neutral and has already dispatched
a naval force to Kamranh bay, presumably
to enforce the neutrality regulations. The
Partisan correspondents point out that this
step has been taken solely upon the French
initiative and is not inspired by any Japa-
nese representations. 1t is suggested that
the French government may have some diff
ficulty in strictly enforcing the neutrality of
the territorial waters, owing to the lack
of positive information as to the length of
time the Russian ships have remained with
in them. 1t would seem, however, not to be
a difficult task for the French warships to
put themselves in touch with the Russian
squadron during Its stay in the vicinity of
Cochin China and keep 1t moving out of
range, If France Is earnestly DESTROYS of re-
manning neutral and avoiding complications.

The Long Republican Rule.

Can the republicans much longer stand
their unprecedented prosperity Power
brings its temptations and drawbacks. and
the republicans have had eight years OF
uninterrupted power.
An effort yesterday to nominate candi-
date for Congress in the first Indiana dis
trict resulted in failure and the splitting of
the republican party into two factions.
Each faction will meet in convention on
Saturday. and as matters now stand each
will put up a candidate. This means dem
ocratic success at the polls unless the diff
ferences can be speedily composed. There
Is little time for the peacemakers to oper-
ate The election is to fill a vacancy caused
by the promotion of Mr.. Hemenway TO the
Senate. and takes place next month.
This district was for years democratic,
but was one of the first in the state to show
dlsapproval of the radical tendencies of that
party. 1t contains large manufacturing in
terests, and they took alarm from the drift
of things after the clash over silver in 1888,
and the fasco with tariff revision in 1894.
The republicans found a strong and con-
servative man in Mr.. Hemenway, and he
has been kept in office since his first cleo
ton. His majority last year was the largest
he had ever received.
Naturally HIS pIOlnbilpu " TIC NoSAd'N
caused a stir in the district over the sue
cesson. The republican nomination looked
so much like an election that the two as
pirants labored with might and main for
the prize. and injected much ginger into
the contest that yesterdays convention re-
solved itself into a bowling mob, where or
derby business was out of the question.
The spirit which is openly exhibited here
is strongly suggested by conditions in other
states. There are revolts against old lead
ers. There are rows and divisions over
patronage. There ambitions that re-
fuse longer to be denied. Many agencies of
unrest and discomfort are moving, and by
next year may threaten the party in power.
Moreover the majority in the present House
is large to the danger point. Experienced
politicians prefer a closer division, and
some of them looking forward to next
winter with no little apprehension.
1t may be, therefore, that the democrats
have in this situation more cause for hope
than in any Issue of their own. Their play
may be. as they have not been able them
selves to defeat the republicans, to leave
the job largely to factonalism and what
may be called the cankers of long rule.

Bell of Colorado-and Venezuelan

1t is to be feared that Sherman Bell of
Colorado, one-time adjutant general of the
state and a prominent figure in the mine
war that convulsed the commonwealth for
many months, is trifle set up by the COM
pliment just paid to him, according to re-
port by President Castro of Venezuela. The
understanding is that Mr.. Castro. realizing
that If he intends to back up his contemp-
tuous defiance of the United States he must
strengthen his army, has offered to Mr.
Bell the position of commander-in-chief,
with a large salary and almost arbitrary
power. Mr.. Bell is seriously inclined to &C
cept. He is tempted by the opportunity to
transform the "greasers'' into soldiers, and
says:
IF I go down there half measures in any
thing will not go with me. l will fix that
little army up so that it can not only take
care of its own country, but also do a little
business in trouble outside. I could get a
hundred of the best men in this country
10 go down with me, and there would be
more in it than mere commander of the
army in short time.
This is hardly the kind of talk to COM
mend Mr.. Bell to Mr.. Castro. 1t sounds
strongly like hint that If the "greasers"
prove amenable to discipline and training
the next dictator of Venezuela may be an
tN-AINtTlCdl certainly d HldH Will Sulu-
cient genius to whip Castros recruits into
fighting shape would be entitled to feel
some pumpkins" There would be wide
open field for his talents. The history of
Venezuela favors a program of the kind
that Mr.. Bell intimates in his interview.
And after getting down there on the ground
and haInmering away at his companies for
a few months he may find that there would
be more prospect of success in a neat little
trick of revolution than a campaign against
the United States.

work than ever is expected of him this
year. Lafee, a new student who en-
tered school this term, has had expert
ence at catching and is fast proving him

Three Men Stabbed in New

Eight Men, Who Had Been Drinking for
Hours, Started to Fight Over wom-

New York, April 49, Under the white
lights of the Tenderloin wild reyel
which began at eleven o'clock last night
ended in murder and riot just before
dawn today. The scene Of the tragedy
was the rathskeller of Toby's cafe at
the corner of 31st street and Broadway.
The murderer and the others who partic-
ipated in the fighting escaped but the
police say that they viii all be under
arrest before night.
A party of eight young men had been
drinking for hours in the cafe when a
woman entered and joined them. Fight
