The manner In which Germany.

Hut instead of getting mad about It. golncr in war and making a bad situation In conceivably worse, the governments of these three leading nations promptly put the stopper into their choier, sent for each other's representatives and oegan a calm and good-tempered in vestigation. Some details of their preliminary agrt'oment remain to be nrransed, but the broad principle has nlrcv.ly been adopted that a representative commis sion to be appointed by the three powers shall visit the Sanioan islands, make a careful inquiry into exist ing conditions and then apply such remedial measures as may seem to b'f necessaiy to ensure tianqnlllty. The commission is to take hold of things iu Hunioa at once and straighten them out. ufier vhich it is to rccomniecd to the constituent governments tucli general changes in the treaty of ad ministration as will In Its Judgment conduce to the welfare of the Islanders and tho harmony of the powers.

Apropos of the recent successful at tempt of the Italian Inventor, SiRiior Marconi, to transmit without wires u telegraphic mef-sage from France to England across the llrltlsh channel, a distance of 3- miles, Lieutenant Squlro of tho ynlted States Signal service, who has nlreudy mude considerable progress: in similar experiments, in an interview with tho Washington corres pondent of the Chicago Record gives an Interesting explanation of how this wonderful fent Is performed. Tho apparafus used, he explains, con sists of a transmitter and a receiver similar In many respects to the In struments used In the ordinary tele graph olTlce. The transmitter consists of an Induction coll of great power, cniiablu of producing a spark. In cir cuit with this is a regular Morse key. The spark Is caused to pass between two or more brass balls from one to three Inches In diameter. One end of the coll runs into the ground, the other i attacheii' fo it- vertlenl wire, which "rips In length according to the dis tance It Is desired to send the message. It will nverage about twenty feet for the Ilrt nille.nnd after that by doubling HP length of the who communication tan be had four times the distance. The newspapers miy that for signaling eigh teen miles Signer Marconi tired a ver tical conductor of eighty feet, and for thirty-two miles, when he sent his message tieross the channel, ho had n conductor 111 feet long. In sending a message the simple Morse characters are used, livery time the circuit Is cloed thoro Is a torrent of sparks, which produces a dot or dnsh, according to the time the key Is held down. Tills starts n series ot elec tric wnves through the atmosphere, which travel with the velocity of light that Is, 1X0,000 miles a second. These waves are guided to their destination by what the operators call a reflector, nctlng on the same principle as a re flector which concentrates the rays of light from n lamp, except It Is made of zinc or copper Instead of glass. Ar riving at their destination, the waves which bear the messages are received by n special instrument known ns a coherer. It Is a minute tube ot glass filled with tilings of silver and nickel. The ends are closed with metallic plugs, one being connected with Hie earth and the other with a second vertical wire similar to that attached to the trans mitting Instrument. In circuit with the tube is a local battery and nn or dinary telegraphic relay instrument. The electric waves from the transmit ter, when projected upon the little tube cause the llllngs within It to cohere. That is, they momentarily ere welded together by n large number of minute discharges of electricity between the Individual particles. While the con teiito of the tube are thus agitated the I electric resistance Is reduced, which fact permits the local battery to send a current through It. This causes a regular sounder to repeat the signals, the mecsage of dots and dashes that the operator has sent with the trans mitter. The message can bo taken either by the ear or by nutomatlc np paratiiF. Not the least Interesting feature of I.loutenmit Squire's explanation Is his fitatement that the variations In the weather do not make any difference in Hie efficiency of this mode of telegraph ing. The waves travel Just as truly in wind and rain as in calm. The import ance of tills fact v 111 be appreciated bv those who have experienced the in conveniences of the present wire sys tem when the wires are blown down or when sleet or rain causes such a dis sipation of electrical energy that com munication is impossible. When President Schurman, of Cor nel! 1'iilverslty, left this country to take up the work of chairman of Hie Philippine commission, he sympathized with those Americans who were op posed to permnnent American reten tion of the Philippines and had so ex pressed himself. Today, after study of the problem on the spot, his opinion may be Inferred from the statement by him In a message to the president that a very small proportion of the people in the Philipplnea sympathize with the Agulnaido rebellion, and that the bet ter element Is practically unanimous in hoping that American supervision cf the islands will continue indefinitely. The Old Fight Over Again. Although no llepubllcan president since Lincoln has been renominated without violent opposition within his ow:i party It looks today as if McKln ley would share with Lincoln the honor of a unanimous ru-nomlnatlon. The opinion recently expressed by Senator Warren of Wyoming seems to cover the ground. Said he: "Up to the present hour nothing has occurred to weaken the president, nnd the pros pects of his renomlnatlon are better now even than they were a year ago. If the president Is successful In deal ing with the questions to be handled during the next twelve months It vill not be possible to build up an opposi tion to him. Two things will be neces sary to the development of opposition. One Is public dissatisfaction with the president's policy, the other Is a man of commanding tlgure to unite upon as an opposing cnndldate. Thus far the public Is not dissatlsiled with President McKlnley, and the man who can stand up before him as nn oppos ing candidate has not appeared." There Is apparent at this time only one th.ng which menaces unanimity in the next Hopubllcan national con vention and one yea hence this may have been eliminated. A considerable sentiment undoubtedly exists among llepubllcans that the president needs Bwe,,t USdt, ue'cause lhoy arc not , nc. a new secretary of war. The presi- I cord with American sentiment and clvlll dent'B loynlty to General Alger has I zatlon. The task of adjusting the pco- hitherto caused him tolgnorethls senti ment and he may choose to continue to Ignore It but If he shall do so It will be nt somo political risk to his party and to himself. Even those who contend that Alger has done his level best must recognize that that best Is lnsulllclent to satisfy the country and the feeling against him shows as yet no signs of abating. It may bo unjust to Alger to hold him personally ac countable for the faults of u vicious staff system which existed long before his enttance Into the war secretary ship and which, without legislation from congress, ho Is officially power less to correct. Hut as the Philadel phia Press recently tifllnned, this la a distinction that the country does not und will not diaw. Tho secretary's war on Miles, his obvious wish to shield Hagun and his outbursts of temper as exhibited In his famous let ter to Colonul Koosevelt aro features ot the sltuutlou that militate against him and If any opposition to McKlnley shall arise In the next convention It will he due to Algorism solely and not to any personal or political objections to Mr. McKlnley himself. On tho Democratic side tho wonder ful personal victory of Carter Harrison In tho Chicago mayoralty election In dicates possibilities of trouble for Mr. Lryan. The next Democratic presi dential nominee will quite certainly bo a western man nnd If It Is true that the Democrats opposed to Ilryan aie willing to concentrate on Harrison Ilryan may expect an energetic fight. Yet he undoubtedly possesses such n great advantage In tho Item of vcr- sotial following nnd Is so elenrly tho logic of the Domocrntlc situation that wo predict his ro-noinlnntlon, on n platform declaring opposition to mon opoly and expansion. Ills defeat Is assured, but In spite ot Hint fact wo regard Uryun ns by far the strongest candidate that under existing condi tions tho democrats could name. According to brief tidvices Just re ceived In llronklyn by cable from Mon tevideo, Uruguay, tho Delglan steam ship IJclglcn, which palled from Ant werp Aug. 10, !, for the Antarctic sea with a party of explorers on board, one of whom was lr. Frederick A. Cook, of Hrooklyn, who was surgeon of the llrst Peary expedition to Green land, has been successful In discover ing much new land not hitherto marked on any.mnp. Dr. Cook Is com ing home with detnlls, but from the meagre message sent by him In ad vance, It Is Inferred Hint the discov eries were made not less than 1.500 miles south of Capo Horn, and Includ ed both volcanic Islands and un opn polar sea. The occasions are so few when polar expeditions accomplish anything that full Information ns to the exact results of this trip will be awaited with keen Intereit. Naval experts and others are spend ing considerable time nt present writ ing about the mistakes of Admiral Cervera at Santiago and elsewhere. The admiral's greatest mistake wus In not being born on this side of the At lantic, where he could have entered the naval service of Uncle Sam. The Pittsburg presbytery has de clined to censure Professor McGlffert for claiming that the gospel of Mat thew was not written by the apostle whose name It bears but by a Chris tian of the first, second or third gen eration. Where will the so-called "higher criticism" end? The New York Sun Is the only news paper In the United States which has the hardihood to assert that General lulles has not proved his charges. It Is noticed that when Minister Os car Strauss calls upon Sultan llamld now. he drops the air of a book agent for the mien of the tax collector. The odor of the dissecting room be gins also to pervade the camp of the enemies of General Miles. TOLD BY THE STARS. Daily Horoscope- Drawn by AJacchus, The Tribune Astrologer.

THIS victor at Maui! tacular. lag a wc I IB victories of the American navy tut and Santiago were spee- thc army Is accompllsh- ork In Cuba of equal mag nitude, which Is none tho less great because very few appreciate its ex tent and importance. It is tho army which is building a new government for the Island. lieie in Cuba tho army of llcers are the sole factors, almost, In de termining tho futuro of a people now helpless. Upon their Judgment and dis cretion everything depends. Thus far they have been equal to tho responsible task. They are working here with an in dustry and uithu&lasm which Is almost marvelous. Many of them are at their it sks from early morning until late at night, studying problems ranging from civic administration to the paving of streets. There is little tiory for them personally In the stupendous work, but they labor with no less zeal because of this fact. One cannot appreciate until Cuba Is actually visited just what It means to found n new government. A t'limsand new questions have arisen and must bo promptly decided as righteously and as wisely ns possible. There aro old laws to be revoked and now ones to lie decreed. There are traditions nnd ous I Iritnc t r 1m ruannfitoil n ti.1 si 1i.-..j Li La )1" 111 IIVW l-liIIUlllUU 1 U Mflll'illU wiie, but tbo success which has thus far been achleved Is un augury of good for the fu tu re. o Much has already been done. Probably the most Important step which has been 'alien Is the abolition of a lurge portion of the taxes. Cuba, us eveiy one knows, was taxed to the utmost under the old regime, Tho sign which the merchant placed ov-r his store was taxed, which Is one reason why there urc so few signs In Havana. The government laid Its grasping hand upon every olio nnd everything, until tho island was squeezed ns dry ns the pro verbial orange. Tho military decree re cently issued abolishing tho taxes on tho necessailes of life and limiting to a ren sonublo sum the annual tax upon prop erty has lightened the load to u great de gree, nnd there will bo still further abo litions, as tho governmental machinery Is simplified nnd economized. The estab lishment of a Supremo court for Cuba is another boon. Hitherto, there was no su premo tribunal except In Madrid, and tho settlement of cases w- a tedious and expensive proceeding. The new Bupremo court means the final adjudication ot legal questions with all posslblo prompt ness. o Thcso arc but a few Instances ot tho great benefits which Ameilcan govern ment means for tho Island. Others can bo cited, It formerly cost 33 cents a word to cable from Havana to Santiago. Tho United States Signal Service has Just completed an overland line between tho two titles, of which over ISO miles was absolutely built anew in less than ninety days, and now messages cun be sent at tho rate of twenty words for 10 cents. The merchants of the city aro experi encing a new sensation in tho prompt transaction of their business in tho cus. torn houso by systematic and cnergetlo clerks, Their gratitude is expressed in n proposition which has been mndo to tho United States by the merchants. They offer to pay nn additional tax of V.i per rent, no nil Import duties to luilld a cus-totu-ltmi..o costing u million dollars. They hnvo expressed great gratification, too, nt the prospect of the erection of large docks, which will dlspenso with tho pres ent expensive system of unloading every thing upon lighters a system which had no oilier reason for cxhaluc than the payment to Spnln of a large bonus by the monopoly which owned the lighters, .-o It Is not necessary, however, to antlcl pato benefits. General Ludlow has al ready expended $7W,0OU In cleaning the city of Havana. This Is a fact of which few people, probably, have liny knowl edge. Its slgnlllcuucfl docs not need to bo emphasized. Havana, once remarka ble, for Its tilth, Is being transformed. Its streets are as clean ns those of any clly In the United States which urc paved with llolglan blocks, There Is no nccumuln tk of dirt In the gutters, no Utter of paper, no refuse of any character. Hid ing over many miles of every section ot tho city, I was surprised at this cleanli ness, so different from what I had ex pectcd. As the stones tire laid upon the soft dirt, without solid foundation, somo dust Is dally forced up between the crev ices of the ltclglnn blocks, but even this is constantly swept away by the street cleaners. Tho proverbial dirty thorough fares no longer exist. When I asked Gen irnl Ludlow, under whese elllclcnt admin istration this work Is being done, whether the outwnni cleanliness was a token that the reformation of the city had been se cured, I really anticipated his reply. U Is within the houses, as he told me, that tho real work of regeneration must ba done. Thcso houses are liic-hllnllcs of Madrid houses, with an inner court upon which tho anartments onen. and they havo no sewer connection whatever. In addition to this, It Is the common custom to use this courtyard ns u stable. The entrance to tho house Is also the drive way, and It Is easy to toMs a stone from a sleeping apartment to the horse's stall. In the lack of sewerage nnd the proximi ty of the stable there Is much discour agement, but the ntmy oillceis have met the dllllcultles with wonderful patlrn"" nnd energy. A house-to-house Inspection Is being made, tnd the citizens are being told that It Is necessary to observe all sanltnry regulations possible under the existing conditions. In the residences of the tlch there Is llttlo or no remedy need ed. Tho tiled iloors are clean, and Intel ligent care for the preservation of health Is exercised. In the homes of the poor vigorous measures havo to bo and are being taken. Th result Is that tons and tons of accumulated dirt havo been re moved from tho city and dumped Into the sea, far beyond the harbor's mouth. Speaking ot the harbor, by the way, It is worth while to temnrk that the stories of its tilth have been greatly ex aggerated. New York harbor today Is no los dirty than Havana harbor. General Ludlow told me, ns wo traveled over the water of tho bay. that the general belief of a great depth of tilth upon tho harbor's bottom Is not founded on fact, the falsity being proved by actual examination. He pointed to the water which was churned up by the propeller of the launch. It was not as clear ns mldocean, of course, but It was free, so far as appearances went, from tilth. It Is oven transparent to a dergee, for I saw on more than one occa sion fish swimming a foot or more be low tho surface. The stories that ilsh will not live in Havana harbor is disproved by my own observation. Some of these days when a great and comprehensive system of sewers Is devised and construct ed In llnvanu, the contents of tho sew ers must largely flow Into tho liaibor. Uvea then no serious conditions will cxHt. There Is only n difference of about four teen inches in the rise and lull of tho tide, but even this Is sultlclent to create a cur. rent through the narrow entrance of suf ficient strength to swing the largest ships at their moorings. Besides tills, as Gen eral Ludlow pointed cut, the salt of the sea Is a great disinfectant. Tho sower system, by tho way, Is the greatest prob lem yet to be solved for Havana. The engineer ofllct-rs nre now working upon It. another Instnnco ot the devotion of Amer ican time and money to tho benefit of Cuba. o "How long before tho sewer system can bo put Into operation?" I asked Colonel lllack, who will be remembered as once the engineer commissioner In Washing ton, and now General Ludlow's able as sistant. "Tho work will tequlre two years," was his reply. "Somo estimates name a briefer time, but what Is done ought to be done well. Temporary expe dients will be worse than useless. When we build, we must build for all time, with nothing to undo." "Are any great dlllleuUles presented?" "None as to grades, because the city Is not on level ground. Our greatest trouble will be oe cause of tho narrow streets. It will In necessary to dig up one square and then go to the next parallel street, because evcnthodlgglng of a narrow trench means the stoppage of ull tratllc. There will be dllllcultles, of course, but none that can not bo surmounted." Having thus en deavored to show In some degrco whin tho United Stutes Is doing for Havana, It should be added that the same efforts at Improvements are being made all over tho Island of Cuba. General Wood's work at Santiago Is well known, but all the other army commanders are laboring with equal zeal. The question will naturally be asked, to whose good will all this work inure? Tho answer Is that both Cuba nnd tho United States will be equally benefited. Tho climate of Ha vana Is naturally healthy and delightful, and tho whole of Cuba is hubitable for Americans, even In the rainy season, if proper sanitary precautions are observed. Tho work of regeneration will take years, perhaps, to complete. During that time the (lag of tho United States will not come down. When It Is finished no one. In my Judgment, will want tho United States to withdraw Its beneficial hand. NEWS AND COMMENT, A Vienna ravant. Dr. (.olilschiieluVr, think tho darkness prevailing In tho average bed rocm a mistake. Ught, ho says, plays a greater part In tin path ology of aches than most people Imagine. These are. generally speaking, the health iest members of the human family win live in sunlit, vroll-iilrcd rooms, and who move about in the sun as much as prac ticable.

When night comes tho painful EtPtntions inciease. They are bearable as long as wo aie in tho gas or lamp light, but become Intense the moment wo stietch out In bed, en veloped by stillness and daikness. A Icts onlng of the pain Is observable only ufttr sunrise. "What Uwt it mean," usks tho doctor, "that darkness und stillness aro not conducive to tho comfort of sick peo ple? Therefore I say If you have pains 111 the evening do not rob yourself of tho scoUilm,' effects of a lamp. In ninety. nine out of a hundred eaten tho presence of a light In tho sick room alleviates pulu. For the samo reason do not let your chil dren sleep in the dark If they preftr a light. Tho denial of a nlRlil light has mado many a child HI with heart dis ease. If children refuso to slep In tho dark it may be assumed that there Is somo physical or mental reason for It which wo ought to respect." In the Illinois legislature tho oilier day Mr. Searcy offered a resolution that the wooden leg of General Bantu Ana, found by the Americans on tho battlelleld of Oerro Gordo, In tho Mexican war, and now on exhibition lit the stalo museum, be returned to tho family of the deceased general. Tho resolution was referred to tho committee on federal relations. Mr. Searcy has received u letter from Presi dent Diaz, of Mexico, thanking him for his courtesy.
