a d in i mat rut ion on the Isth
mian Curinl question, that,
with the usgistauce of demo
crrttH, led by Senator Morg

strength lenublicuns of prom
inetire tay it has. " Acconling
to the, talk in eminent repnb
limn ciri'les in Washington.
t.Jie revtlt has leen thorough
l.v planned, and it includes
t he making of Senator Lodge
a staum'h ndvoeate of the
Nicurngun route for the ca
nal, Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Foreign filia
tion, a position upon which
precedent givea Senators Cul
lorn and Frye's prior claims.
It will be easy enough to dis
pose of .Frye's claim, as he is
president pro tem pf the Sen
ae, nnd is. besides, anxious
to give much of -his time du
ring the next session to push
ing a new ship subsidy ' bill;
but Culloni trill not be so ea
sy to push nside,as he would
like to have the honor of be
ing at the head of the Com
mittee on foreign relations,
However, the republican steer
ing committee, if controlled,
as claimed by the revolters,
ran ptobnMy persuade him
that he would better hold on
to the Chairmanship of the
Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, and voluntarily relin
qnish his claim. With Lodge
at the head of the Forehzn
Relation Committees, a reso
Intion declaring the Clay ton-
Wulwer treaty ahrogaten is
to be reported and nt once
brought to a vote in the Sen
ate. With the adoption of
that resolution, the Panama
scheme would receive its
death blow. The most inter
esting thing about this re
volt is the claim of its pro
moters that Mr. McKinler is
in secret sympathy with its
obj ct, and wishes to ace Con
gress tike the action that
will, in addition tokillingthe
Panama job, force the hand
of Great Britain, and show
to the world that the isthmi-
an' canal is going to be a
strictly American institution
from starT'to finish.
!'If the members of the naval
board of awards wish to in
crease the number of thow
who believe official history
consists largely of plain, ev
ery day lying, done to boost
the records of some of the fa
vorites of the powers that be
they are on the right track;
but if Mr. McKinley and Sec
retary Long wish to do so,
either can bead off the per-
petuation of a historic lie by
bis board. No official an
nouncement of that fact has
yet been made, but among
naval officers it is understood
that the board has decided
hat tho head of Rar Adrni"
ral Sampson, shall appear on
one side of the official medal
to be presented to l he officers
and sailors who participated
in the destruction of the Span
ish fleet, off Santiago, Cuba,

that battle, when he had no
more, personally, to do with

until after the battle had
ben fought , and won. I
woiild only jbecommon decen

How soldiers, even thoseol
the regular army regard ser
vice in the Philippines, is un
mistakably shown bya bito
official correspondence just
made public bj the War De
partmert. 1 number oT regu

whose terms of enlistment
will shortly expire, informed
their officers that they would
re enlist if assured that they

assurance has been given in a
letter from the Adjutant Gen
eral'a office, showing that
the War department has lull
knowledge of the discontent
of the men with ser vice in. the
Philippines.
Aguinaldo has been"proin
ised by General MacArthur
that he would be allowed to
visit the United States in the
fall if the War department
did not object. The War De
partment will take the mat
ter under coiisidetation, and
conditions in the Philippines
will determine its final action.
Ex-Senator Mitchell, of Wis
consin, who nas lust return
ed from a two year's sojourn
in Europe, has not changed
his mind against annexation
of foreign territory. He saia:
"I am as thoroughly oppos
