and this end can not be reached by any
tdriff changes which would affect un

Great Benefit From
the Panama Canal
The Congress has wisely provided that
we shall build at once the Isthmian Ca

reports that we can un
doubtedly acquire good ItUe from the
French Panama Canal Cympany. 'Ne
gotiations .are now pending with Colom
bia to secure her assent to our building
the canal. This canal will be one of the
greatest engineering feats of the SOth
century; a greater engineering feat than
ha -yet been aecompiishedr during- the
history of mankind. The work should
be carried out as a continuing policy
Without regard to- change of administra
tion; and it should be begun under cir
cumstances which will make it a matter
of pride for all administration to con
tinue the policy. .
- The canal' will be of great oenent -to
America, and of Importance to ail , the
world. It will be of advantage to us
Industrially and also aa Improving our
military position. It will be of advantage
to tha countries of tropical America. It
is earnestly to. be hoped that all of these
countries will do as some of them have
already . done with signal sucee, and
will Invite to their shores commerce and
improve their material oondltlona -by
recognising that stability and order are
the prerequisites jof successful develop
ment. No independent nation in America
need have the slightest fear of aggression
from the United State. It behooves each
one to maintain order within It own
borders and to discharge Its Just obliga
tions to foreigners. When this Is done,
they can reat assured that, be they strong
or weak, they have nothing to dread from
outside Interference. More and more the
Increasing Interdependence and complex
ity of International political and economic
relations render It Incumbent on all civi

PACIFIC CABLE.

was addreased to the secretary of state.

to-raiJLstkJrtttA'Jolh

way of Hawaii. A statement of condi
tions or term upon whlchv Buch corpora
tion would undertake to lay and operate
a cable was volunteered.
Inasmuch as the Congress was shortly
to convene, and Pacific-cable legislation
hau been the subject of consideration by
the Congress for several years, it seemed
to me wise to defer action upon the ap
plication until the Congress had first an
opportunity to act. The Congress ad
journed without taking any action, leav
ing theonatter in exactly the same condi
tion in which it stood when the Congress
convened.
In consequence of solicitation of the
cable company, certain condition were
formulated, upon which the president waa
willing to allow access to sounding and
to cunsent to the landing and laying 01
the oable, subject to any alterations or
additions thereto Imposed by the Con
gress. This was deemed proper, especially
as It was clear that a cable connection
of some kind with China, ,a foreign coun
try, was a Dart of aha 'company' plan.

Army and Navy
"Needs Attention
The Army baa been reduced to the
minimum , allowed by law. It is very
small for the size of the Nation, and
most certainly should be kept at the
highest point of efficiency. The senior
officers are given scant chance under
ordinary conditions to exercise com
mands commensurate with their rank,
under circumstances which would fit
them to do their duty in time of -actual
war. A system . of , maneuvering our
Army in bodies of some little slae ha
been begun and should be steadily con-
ttnued. Without such maneuvers it Is
folly to expect that in the event of hos
tilltlea with any serious foe even a small
army corps could be handled to ad van
tage. Both our efflcera and enlisted men
are such that we can take hearty pride
In them, . No better material can be
found. ; "
I urgently call your attention to the
neea or passing a , bill providing for a
general staff and for the reorganization
. the lyepertments on the "Iteea ef
the, bill proposed by the Secretary of
War last year. . The measure providing
for the reorganization of the militia sys
tem and for.fr securing the highest ef
ficiency in the National Guard, which ha
already passed1 the1 House, should re
ceive prompt Attention and action. Pro
vision should be-mad td enable the Sec

from what It should be. I earnestly urge
that the increase asked for by the Sec

are the rhots that hit. It is- naoe-asaiy

that of any other first-class power. We
have deliberately made ' our own certain
foreign policies which demand the pos
session of a first-class navy. The
Isthmian canal will greatly Increase the
efficiency of our navy, if tne. navy Is of
sufficient size.; but If we have an Inade
quate navy, then the building of the
canal would be merely giving a hostage
to any power of superior strength. The
Monroe Doctrine should be treated as the
cardinal feature of ' - American foreign
policy;-but it would be worse than idle
to assert it unless .we-intended to back it
up. and It can be backed up only by a
thoroughly good navy, A good navy is
not a provocative of war. It hi the surest

scientific forest protection will grow more
rapidly than ever throughout the public

sailors and stokers haa assumed such
serious proportions today that 2.000 more
gendarmes have been ordered to the
scene. Government officials are en
deavoring to arrange a meeting between
the strikers and their employes. A fast
ships arrive the sailors and stokers
leave them and commerce- is paralyzed.
Work at the mines and on the wharves
is almost at a standstill. Foreign ship
ping experiences no difficulty, it being
only -domestic difficulties that confront
the strikers. '
Owing to the strike the Marseilles gov
ernment will establish a steamer service
to Algeria- and Indo-China, with hired
veeseia unarmed -by, French -Blue-Jackets.
PREVENT WRECKS
New Danger Signal for Use on
" ' Railroad Lines.
CHICAGO, ' Dec. 2. The fusee danger
signal is being extensively experimented
wlthtry-t-he Burlington, Bock Island,
Denver & Rio Grande and ether-Western
roads. It la especially useful, it Is said,
in 'preventing rear-end collisions. The
fusee is about the siae of an ordinary
Roman candle and similar In appearance.
At one end is a charge of red Ire and
at the other Is a quant.y of lead and a
sharp iron. The loaded end 1. so much
heavier than the stick that when It Is
.dropped from the platform of a car the
---.r in; it- it
nau sirijLev uri. tuiu uuius tuv skiujk m
an upright position. -
No match Is needed to light tt - The
fusee has a cap of chemicals, and when
this is removed It ignites the red Are.
This burns for 10 minutes. A peculiarity
of the fusee Is ' that It cannot be extin
guished by ordinary means. A gale only
fans it to greater brilliancy and it Will
burn ln a heavy rain. If a train la lafte
and another section Is known to be fol
lowtar toO' closely to her notified from a
(railroad station, the fusee is dropped from
me rear oi tne movmg train, i ne ugnt
always strikes right side up, owing to the
weight of the loaded end.
There it stands, like a biasing finger,
waving a blood red warning to any train
that may be following. he - fusee Is of
particular value on roads where the tele
graph stations are a long distance apart,
but It la being used on ine Eastern roads
Where stations are closer together. It Is
said that th road which have adopted
the new signal how a wonderful de
crease of accidents. The light Is several
times more Intense than the target lamp
and can b more - ready seen la foul
weather. v -a -' . ''

How the Politician Hoped
to Evade Orders
Boss Matthews hs forever stamped
himself a political manipulator.
When he assumed the ditfles of the
United States marshalship he handed his
resignation as chairman of the Repub
lican State Central Committee to Howard
Allen of Astoria. Allen Is- the secretary
of the committee. , ,. " i .
"Hist," said the marshal, In a, heavy
whisper to the man from Astoria. -"If
the - Department of Justice should hear
that I was chairman: of a political com-
rmittee I would be discharged.
"But I have a scheme by which I can
evade, all the rules on the subject. I will
hand my resignation' ln to you. 'Tne res
ignation cannot be acted upon until the
comn3lttea...mBets-..The . time of .meeting-
rests entirely with me and I will not call
any meetings together until some person
makes a complaint about me to -the de
partment The"n I will be able to truth
fully announce that I, resigned a chair
man long ago." . ,
SCHEME WORKED WEIX.
This deliberate evasion of the plainly
declared policy of the department worked
most successfully for Several months and
there seems but little - doubt that
Matthews would have -continued to be
chairman of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee until old age removed
Mre-..bft4.jrjie Journatnot exposed his
position.
In order that he' -might " hold Bit the
rein of power on which he could lay
a greedy hand, Matthews risked both his
own political safety arid, the welfare of
his party. -,.'--' -x-, ,...-.'.
COMPLAINTS BBINO PREPARED,
Complaints are being prepared- by em.
ployes of gth P08tof6 :,whom MjtwW yot
has threatened with removal, and these
papers will be filed with th Civil Service
Commission in Washington.. Some of the
complaints will make Interesting -reading
and afford a fair Indication of the
Interference offered ; by the United
States marshal in. the, local postofflce, a
branch of the public service which has
hitherto been kepf comparatively free
from politics. :., - v .
Superintendent Barrett of the street ,de-u
livery department, who" has .been m&rted
tor slaughter by Matthews,-, will testify
that the marshal told him recently that
the civil eervice rule did nocprotect -his
.position. . .,;. ' . "h-T--.
"I am going to' have you removed, Mr.
Barrett'' said Matthews to him, "because
you talked about me after I resigned as
assistant postmaster.- The civil service
rules will not protect you, for X can get
around them."
TO THE BITTER E??D,
To Mr, Croaanjan. Matthews stated that
he was going to t Barrett discharged
if ho had to "sacrifice bis marshalehlp In
order , to secure his ends. ! - .
Th complainants Will assert that these
statements and others constitute offensive
partisanship.
Mr. Matthew has mad no statement
aa to how he will proceed to deny It. ?
