THAT HE is very much disguised over
the efforts Of Andrew Carnegie ant
Others, who have under way a world
wide propaganda toward international
peace, WAS made plain by President
Roosevelt in speech which he deliv
cred in Washington yesterday at the uu'
yelling of statue TO the late Major
General George B. Mcclellan. With
ont minciDg his words he declared that
such talk as has been INDUCED in by
theoretical peacemakeTs tends rather to-
ward timidity, slotb, avoidance of duty
aud self.indulgence than otherwise, and
he reiterated his famous "Big Stick"
policy in the words "Seek the peace
that comes to the Just man armed. q"
He compared nation that would shrink
from Just conflict because it would affect
its material development and disturb
ils ease and luxury, to a rich man
who has done nothing but accumulate
riches. Such a mao, he declared, is en-
titled to but the scantiest consideration.
No nation, he declared, has ever com
manded respect except it were nation
which struggled and which strove to a
high ideal, which overcsme obstacles in
stead of Sinking them. The President
talked on variety of subjects, but his
leading feature was his argument that
men who go about preaching peace at
any price are shirkers.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 8. 1907.

THAT Is a heartless story that comes
from New York upon the arrival there
Yesterday of the North German Lloyd
steamship Koenign Louie. 1t appears
that against the combined protest Of her
sixteen.year-old daughter, all the cabin
passengers of the ship and the ships
captain and surgeon, the body of Mrs.
Chalmer Prentice, q Chicago woman, was
buried at sea on last Saturday, although
the woman had not died Of any contsgi-
Gus disease, was an American citizen
and first-class passenger on the liner.
The burial was upon the sole insistence
of Giuseppe Campo, the Italian royal
commissario, on the liner. Mrs. Prem
tice and her daughter, Camille, board
ed the liner at Genoa. The mother
was i'll, and she died on last FIJI
day. The ships surgeon, DR.. Lsber'
was making all arrangements to embalm
the body and have it brought to port,
when Campo, the Italian representative,
declared that the body OF Mrs. Prentice
must be buried at seq. Campo declared
that he was merely following the strict
Italian law in regard to burisls at sea,
and that he could take no cognizance as
to whether the dead person was an
American or person Of any other ma
tionaliiy. The tears of the young daugh'
Ter did not move the gold-laced and
brightly uniformed Italian officer who
gayly discussed his position on the
deck Of the liner Such an incident
seems strange to people who are suscept
IDLE to distressed women'S appeals, but
shows the manner of men who we're on the
steamer on that particular voyage. Why
with but slight concert Of action hall
q dozen men with hearts and nerve, could
have defed the heartless dago and seen to
il that the woman's body was embalmed
and brought safely home-sven if they
had 10 feed the Italian to the fishes.
Men who hold royal commissions should
he men of discretion and ifthey have no
discretion, it should be taught them.

CHINA A WORRY, NOT JAPAN
When Dowager Empress Dies, Fear Is
Expressed, Partition of Empire
May Be Attempted.

Washington, Aug. Tt is China
and not even remotely Japan that has
aroused the concern Of Washington
authorities in connection with choos-
ing the Pacific as the next practice
ground for the big battleship squad
ron, according to deductions of some
students Of affairs in the far east.
China as an entity is in condition as
precarious as the health of the dow
ager empress, and when the failing
health of the latter leads to it's inevi-
that will make it wise for the United
States to have a presentable naval
force within easy sailing.
Little regarding the situation sug-
gested by the above statements has
been said in official and diplomatic cir
cles, but commercial interests profess
to have been keen observers of what
is going on. From sources connected
with the latter comes the report that
some time ago the administration here
was quietly appraised that the health
of the dowager empress was failing
fast, and that when she dies China
will become the prey of plotters seek
ing to overthrow the Manchu dynasty
At the same time the powers are
deemed likely to take advantage of the
situation by going in for a partition
of the empire, with the possible clos
ing of the open door that means so
much to America, and toward secur-
ing which American statesmen have
accomplished so much. 1t has been
pointed out that when trouble comes
the nation that has the strongest navy
in Pacific waters will be likely to have
most influence with China The
knowledge that crisis might be
reached at any time is believed to
have had a great deal to do in de-
termining the plans for sending the
battleship squadron to the Pacific as
soon as possible.
