New York Observes the Day.

New York, May 9o.-Memorial day in
this city was favored by almost ideal
weather. While the chief interest in
tie day centered in Brooklyn where Pres
ident Roosevelt took part in the men,
orial day exercises. The day was OBJ
served in a most elaborate way In other
sections. Aside from the memorial exer-
eises there were activities in many quar-

athletics of every description occupied the
place of greatest prominence in these
other lines.

men to whom this country owes more
to than any others, no matter how great
the service of those others may be be-
cause to you this country owes its life,
you won the place you did, you won for
this country its salvation, because you

aggregate we know by the name of char

not merely below but insignificant as
compared to things that We're greater
when the crisis called for showing your
manhood. You went to the war. You
had, in the first place, the right spirit
and then you had the quality Of making
that spirit evident in the time Of need.
If you had not had patriotism, devotion
to the country and the fiag, you could
have done nothing You have left us
not merely a reunited country, but you
have left us the glorious heritage Of the
memory of the exploits of the qualities
by which the country was left reunited.
We have not had to show the qualities
that you showed in the dark years that
closed in the sunburst of Appomattox,
but IL we are to leave undimmed to our
children the heritage that you left to
us we must show in peace, and should

Returning to his executive Office at

Piled high on his desk are public docu-

he signs as he talks. No public man is
so overwhelmed with visitors They
have become the bane of his daily
work. They encroacn upon executive
business to such an extent that both
the president and Mr. Loeb are in a
quandary how to get time to attend to
their important duties. There are on

per cent. Of them are disposed of ~

REVOL UTIONARY ET4NS,

These are revolutionary times. A
correspondent of Brussels newspa-
per, writing from Athens, sends in
formation of a new revolutionary
movement in Crete by which the party
in favor of annexation to Greece hopes
to achieve it's object. He says that the
various committees are about to issue
an appeal to the candidates at the
forthcoming elections to withdraw in
body and another to the voters asking
them to abstain from going to the poll.
AS the majority of the voters are in
favor Of annexation this electoral
strike would paralyze the government,
while a chamber constituted under
such conditions would have no legal
standing. The strike, If partial in the
towns, would, it is believed, be pretty
nearly complete in most of the country
districts, and would in any case help.
to develop the revolutionary spirit. It
is remarked that many of those who
hitherto have approved of Prince

pathy with their aspirations, have now
declared open war against him. Pend
ing the hoped-for union with Greece
the committees have formulated the
following demands: Complete liberty
of the press; the election, as opposed to
the nomination, of mayors; the right OF
meeting on the public highway; re-
trenchment by reducing public sala-
ries; the reversal of the sentences
passed on soldiers in the late struggle
and the nomination of Cretan and not
foreign officers to the gendarmerie.
These demands seem reasonable, al
this distance. and we hope they will be
granted.

TAINTED FIGHT, cor IT.

The gentlemen who were crying
peace, peace. have seen no signs OF
peace yet. The Gear is reported to
have again hardened his heart. A dis
patch from, Berlin says that the Ger
man government has been informed
that the Russian emperor has again
put aside all peace suggestions, and is
mistaken in his resolution to continue
the war. All the higher officers of the
Far Eastern army recently Joined in a
petition to Emperor Nicholas not to
consider peace, asking that they be
given other opportunities to show the
quality of Russian valor, and represent
ing that, although they have retreated,
they and the army still have the will to
fight. They have now, it appears, the
opportunity. The willy and wiry Jap
anese have occupied Tie Pass. After a
slight resistance the Russians evacu-
ated the strong positions they had pre-
pared months ago, setting fire to the
railroad station and other buildings.
The Japanese troops, which had occu-
pied Yienpao and East Fushin, are in
hot pursuit of the retreating Musco-
vites along the Kirin road. 1t is pre-
dicted that the Russians will retreat to
Hardin. f.
1t isn't at all probable that the Jap
anese can capture the whole of Russia,
but the more fight the Car and his Off
GERS want the more they seem to get.

JAPAN AND OUR PHILIPPINES.

That is rather agitating- talk which
is said to come from Congressman
John A. T. Hull, chairman of the house
military committee, who declares that
the United States will have trouble
with Japan over the Philippines in the
near future. He says that in Washing
ton and various occidental capitals the
opinion is entertained that il Japan
wins against Russia she will pro-
coed to the immediate task of driving
Occidentals out Of landed possessions
in the Far East. and that the United
States in the Philippines will come Sec
ond to Russia. 1.-THE Japanese need
the Philippines" says Congressman
Hull, "and they are certain that they
could wrest them from us. We must
remember that in a war with them we
would be in the same situation that
Russia is now; Japan would be close
to the zone of war, while we would be
seven thousand miles from it. Even if
we had powerful feet in the Philip
pines, we might have it crippled as
Russia's was. Japan would prefer to
buy the islands, and If she collects a
great indemnity from Russia she may
do SOL
Of course there is no hurry about get
ting scared. The Japanese were quite
polite before they began war with Rus
STA, and they would doubtless give us
time to turn around before pitching
into us. And if they want to buy the
islands there are many In this colrn-
try who would be glad to see them al
lowed to do so.
