TA., ASSXCOntvCLAM MAIL MATTER. SCRANTON, JUNE 23, 1S09. The "comtnandlnK Rcncral" ought cither to he allowed to command or to bo made to resign, A command ing general In time of war with noth ing to do though anxious to work 1b a reflection upon the president, the army nnd the country. Let us have done with this petty baby play at headquarter. General Otis, The announcement at Washington, "upon the highest authority," that the president Is thoroughly satisfied with General Otis' work In tho Philippines and hus no Intention of sending Gen eral Miles or any one else to Manila to supersede Otis Is not unexpected. It Is rarely considered wlso to swap horses In the middle of a stream. The public criticism of Otis which Is Just now current Is simply the expression of prevalent disappointment at tho fnllure of tho negotiations for peace begun with great hopefulness by the Schurman commission. The blame for this failure, If blame there be, docs not rest upon General Otis. It Is well established that he did not favor peace terms less peremptory than un conditional surrender. Complaint is made that Otis has been too optimistic nnd that ho Is culpable In not asking for more troops. The public has seen the optlmlsltlc parts of Otis' messages, but In all likelihood there have been portions which the public has not seen. The president, at all events, Is In a better position than any one else to Judge how much weight should be placed upon Otis' ofllctul correspondence nnd It will be prudent to let the president alone In his deal ings with this question. Too many cooks, be It remembered, are very prone to spoil the broth, especially a military broth. There can be no galnsayal of the fact that public opinion very generally wants a larger American army In Luzon. This want grows out of the widespread belief that In an emergency It would be better to have more In stead of fewer than the exact number of soldiers required to re-establish peace. The public Is right in this be lief, but It lacks the detailed Informa tion as to existing conditions possessed by Otis nnd tho president hence Is not prepared to say positively how many more men are needed or whether any more are needed. We can well leave the determination of this point to the men who are chiefly responsible. They will undoubtedly give It careful and earnest consideration. Public opinion In the case of Admiral Schley has nothing to do with the ques tion of his conduct as a naval com mander. That Is to be determined ex clusively on professional grounds in accordance with naval customs and re quirements. Let there be a search ing Investigation. The Carter Case. In reply to Insinuations that the de lay In announcing sentence In the case of Captain Carter, the officer of the engineering corps convicted of de frauding the government in tho sum of nearly $2,000,000 while superintend ing construction work In Savannah harbor, was Inspired by the wish to permit Carter's bondsmen to shield themselves behind the statute of limi tations, Attorney General Griggs, to whom the entire evidence has been re ferred by the president for examina tion, says: "The caso Involves an immense amount of testimony and argument, and ever slnco the adjournment of congress I have been giving it every moment of my tnaro time. I have taken tho papers with mo to my home, and even on the railroad cars at nlyht, when I ought to be asleep, 1 have been engaged upon them. Tho president has given me tho very re sponsible tnsk of determining whether or not Captain Carter has been Justly or un justly dealt with, and I propose to make u thorough Inquiry. I can, therefore, only report progress, although this does not rcem to satisfy tho newspapers tlvu sire clamoring for an Immediate decision. The Supremo court frequently takes months not to say years, In decldltitr a question, and no criticism Is made of Its delay," "Uut It Is said that In this case tho statute of limitations will npply If no action is uiKcn by next month," "That Is not true," was tho answer. "Tho conspiracy to defraud the gov irnment. If there was a conspiracy, be gan In July. August, or September, 1S56. Under tho law, however, euch continu ing net Is a part of a conspiracy, and overt nets occurred up to August or September, 1SD7. Consequently another tear must elapse beforo tho statute of Imitations can bo successfully pleaded. 1 am frank to say, though, that even if tho statute did become operative at this tlmo I would not give a Judgment on tho case until I had thoroughly con vinced myself that tho Judgment was nn tonegt and accurate one, no matter how cng It might take mo to arrive at u de cision. "There is ono thing In this matter that has been overlooked." concluded the at torney general. "Tho contractors have lied a suit In tho court of claims for iertain money ulleged to bo due. Thn fovernment has merely to file a counter llnlni for money alleged to havo been Illegally paid, and tho wholo case can be spened. I have three strings by which vo can hold these people, If guilt Is es tiibllaheil first, tho sentencing of Cap aln Carter; second, the statuto of Urn tntlonn Is still open, and third, a coun ter suit can be entered in the court of slalms." This explanation was scarcely neces tary. Few persons believed that any gnohlo motive lay behind tho delay in concluding this case. Captain Car ter Is the first officer of tho engineering corps since that corps was Instituted to he convicted on court martial of wholesale nnd deliberate fraud. Not withstanding that tho corps has super vised disbursements In the ngsregato running Into the hundreds of millions rf dollars, thla Is the first serious charge of collusion brought home to one of Its members. Carter's friends nre not only numerous and respectable out they are emphatic In upholding his Innocence. Juttl e to him ns well as to the servlc-5 therefore requires that before proceeding to pass sentertco the president shall be absolutely sure that thn convict is guilty ns charged. Bet ter a little deliberation now than tho perpetration of a monstrous wrong, In n short time tho leaders of the opposition ' to asphalt repairs will be heartily ashamed of themselves. The Laborer and Bis Hire. In one of Lieutenant Parker's arti cles on army affairs, published a few weeks ago In the Outlook and reviewed ut the time In these columns, atten tion was called to tho utter dispro portion between tho work and respon sibility of nn American army nfllcer assigned to military governorship In Cuba and Porto Itlco and the pay re ceived by him or the Incentive of pos sible promotion hold out. Lieutenant Patker argued that Unless a more elas tic system of promotion was devised, together with more liberal pay for ex traordinary service, tho problem of governing new dependencies through military means would bo greatly com plicated. Tho case of General Wood proves that Lieutenant Parker Is right. As military governor of Santiago city and province in Cuba General Wood gets the pay simply of his temporary urmy rank, that of brigadier general of volunteers, or $3,500 a year. If ho should remain In the service until af ter 1901, his commission ns brigadier general would lapse and he would re sume the rank of colonel In the regu lar service, his salary falling to about $2,000 a year. The pay of the other military governors Is In proportion, none getting by honest means more than tho pay of their military rank and none, so far ns Is known, taking additional Income dishonestly, although the temptation put upon them to do this must, In tne nature of things, ba very great. Uy way of comparison It has been pointed out that tho gover nor of Jamaica receives $30,000 a year, the governors of Cape of Good Hope, Trinidad, Malta and Gibraltar, $23,00C apiece, the governor of Barbados, $1S, 000 and the governor of the licrmudns, $15,000. These officials of the British colonial service do not necessarily have to bo men of military training, and experience, nor Is their work com paiable In dlfllculty with that con fronting our military governors In Cuba, for the reason that It has long since, by means of n civil service, been reduced to a smoothly-running routine. Yet the pay Is three times ns much ns we pay for Infinitely harder ser vice and England pays it willingly, knowing It to be economy to do so, According to current reports General Wood has been offered the presidency of a street railway company In Wash ington with a salary twice or thrice that which he Is now receiving. Tho work In this civil position does not so strongly appeal to the Imagination ns does his present work in Cuba, al though It Is honorable and reasonably difficult. On the other hand, tho In ducement from a financial and social standpoint, taking Into account that General Wood Is n young man with wife and children to provide for. Id considerable, nssuring, ns It does, prob ably permanent nllluence with the privilege of residence In the handsom est and, to an American, most Inter esting city In tho world. At the war department it is regarded as probable that General Wood will decide to accept the street railway company's offer and resign from tho army service. They understand there better than elsewhere the scantiness of the prospect that if Wood should decide to remain in the army he would ever receive, in promotion or pay, a just recompense for his sacrifice In de clining his present civil opportunity. They even affirm at the war depart ment that under no probable juncture of circumstances would General Wood be likely to be made governor-general of Cuba, not because he Is unlit for this ofllce; not, Indeed, because he Is not, Jn the general estimation, by far tho best fitted man for the position now In the military service, but be causeand note that tho reason Is ad vanced In nil seriousness because every other general now on the Island In charge of n military department Is Wood's senior. The war department reckons promotion wholly In respect of the antiquity of the competitive com missions. If General Wood's services as nn cxecutlvo officer are worth so much to a street railway company that It can nfford to offer twice or thrice ns much for them as the valuation placed upon them by tho congress of the United States then It Is evident, with out further argument, that cnngrcsi has undervalued them. If to secure an economical and efficient manage ment of tho rapid transit affairs of a peaceful and Intelligent community of 500,000 souls Is worth $10,000 to $15,000 a year, then to secure tho proper gov ernment of an Island-ful of Jealous, suspicious and more or less discordant peoples Just emerging from a condition bordering on anarchy ought certainly to be worth more than the paltry $5,000 to $6,000 a year that wo now pay our over-worked mtlltury governors of ultra marine possessions. If by the promotion of General Wood to the governor-generalship of Cuba this govern ment could speedily lift conditions throughout the Island up to tho level to which ho has brought them In Santi ago province, It would be a Bplcndld bargain even though he were to de mand for his services $1,000,000 a year. To let ability like his bo overbid by private enterprise when the nation Is In tho direst need of its employment on vital colonial problems would bo nn exhibition of stupendous folly Im possible of exhibition save In a govern ment without a head. During tho first flvo months of tho present year 40,000 more Immigrants havo entered the United States than came In during tho same period last year. Prosperity In this country has had tho effect of greatly stimulating Immigration. The next congress will bo asked to mako some Important ad ditional restrictions, among them a provision requiring that steamship companies guarantee that their pas sengers shall not within two years af ter their arrival become public charges. Such a provision would bo drastic, but tho condition Is ono apparently call ing for something more vigorous than milk-and-water treatment. Tho sweet girl graduates at Holyoke were highly favored this week In re ceiving their diplomas from the hands of tho president of tho United Stntes. The sweet graduates, however, should not become Impressed with tho Idea that success will depend entirely upon this favor. Wo know of persons en joying recognition nt tho hands of the president who nre dismal failures in their chosen calling. Utilizing Fin? Calm fop Producing Gas THE FOLLOWING letter to tho board of trndo from J. Gardner Sanderson on the question of utilizing fine culm will be read with general tnterest. Three years ngo Mr. Sanderson rend a paper before the hoard of trade explaining the possibilities of producing K&3 for power purposes from culm piles. Tho appended letter Is a further contribu tion on tho sama subject: Mr. D. 13. Atherton, secretary Scranton Hoard of Trade. Dear Sir: It has been nearly three years since I, by your Invitation, pre sented a statement to ithe board of trade, as to what had been accom plished in tho line of utilizing the fine waste of culm piles for producing gas, and tho value of the gas for fuel and power. I now send you this communi cation, not only to reaffirm the state ments then made and to add a few notes of the progress made In other parts of tho world In the use of similar gas, made at considerable cost, for the economical generation of power, as well ns to put myself right before the community, who naturally suppose, from lack of development, that the process Is a failure and tho statements made so long ngo were premature, but also to assure you and the many others, who nt that time saw what was then accomplished, that there was no hid den, unseen or mysterious element In the process of making gas with an thracite culm. o In fact, the only mysterious featuro of the undertaking Is that It should have been so entirely neglected. This can onlv be accounted for by the op nostton of coal Interests to the econo mizing of fuel, and the peculiar fact, well known to promoters of new en terprises, that "distance lends enchant ment to the view." Homo capitalists will Invest In distant enterprises In preference to those near at hand. I am about convinced thnt It will be necessary for me to seek other local ities to develop the undertaking to which I have devoted so much time nnd thought. When experiments were first commenced, outside capital was offered but declined, aa it was then sup posed local Interests would be suffic ient. It Is not surprising that, now, outside capitalists should ask why local Interests do not utilize the results accomplished, and look askance at an enterprise so entirely abandoned, es pecially ns It Is Impossible to explain why It has been abandoned. It can only be said ithat death, coal mining and railroading hav removed or absorbed tho financial promoters of the enterprise, which Is a very unsatis factory explanation. From the outstnrt I have endeavored to convince those Interested of it he Im portance of the cheap gas for gener ating power with gas engines, but was compelled to devote my attention to tne nuumntion of tne gas generating appliance for producing fuel gas to be used under existing hollers for gener ating steam. In this case It Is neces sary to produce the gas "i large quan tity without storage, ani nn ctitlifly novel form of producer furnace was d -vised for this purpose, which fully uu-t exooctaf s as to the amount of gas produced, inn required various modifi cations to overcome tho difficult prob lem of removing the light, fine aah, from the heavier, tine fuel, without un duly disturbing the fire and suspend ing the gas generating process. o It was ponding these experiments that the death and absorption hereto fore mentioned occurred, and although the nsh difficulty was finally overcome, no further attention has been given the enterprise, I therefore feel nt liberty and shall endeavor to havo It taken up elsewhere. Now as to what has been demon strated. First, that a power gas of the same quality as Is produced elsewhere nt considerable expense, can be gener ated with tho fine culm nt nn Insignifi cant cost and with which power can be furnished for generating electricity nnd manufacturing purposes, at lower cost than any other known source, except possibly hvdraullc when conveniently located nnd reliable (which Is rare. Second That for fuel purposes, bet ter results and greater economy can be gained by use of this gas In tho place of direct firing with coal, oven when prepared and urod with the most ap proved stoker. All of which I am prepared to sub stantiate and shall seek tho opportun ity for doing so. I can furnish many reports of prac tical experiences with this gas used for largo power purposes abroad, showing very great economy of fuel, when com pared with steam power, aside from the cost of water, etc.; and consider able progress Is being made In this country In the Introduction of eas en gines for large power purposes. Thoso familiar with tho great busi ness prosperity "natural gas" brought to thoso sections of the country where It was available, can appreciate the ad vantages of this kind of fuel. Coal dealers nnd producers are well aware of the constant tncreaslntr use of manufactured gas for domestic fuel purposes and are naturally adverse to extending or cheapening Its produc tion. In conclusion, I predict that It will not be long before the present con fessedly wasteful method of generating power from coal will be displaced by the more direct, simple and economical method ns developed In the gas engine. Very truly yours, J. Gurdner Sanderson. TIIE THREATENED WAR IN THE TRANSVAAL. Editor of Tho Tribune Sir: Permit mo to thank you for your leading article on tho "Ultlanders vs. Uoers," which appeared hi your lssuo on Wednesday. I am greatly delighted to find that you havo a comprehensive and Just conception of the stato of things In tho Transvaal republic in South Africa, and that you havo given public expres sion to tho same In mild and moderate teims, It has always been a mystery to mo why thsAmerlcans should appear to sympathize more with the Uoers than with the Ultlanders. Tho 'JJransvaal Is tho (richest llttlo country In tho world. Sho has put Into tho public market no less than COO tons weight of gold during tho last twelve years. Tho Uoers nro the rulers, but tho Ultlanders, or foreigners, nro tho men wno invested tho capital (5300,000,000) and supplied tho labor to develop tho min ing resources of tho country, and yet thoy havo no voice whatever In the govern ment of tho republic, Not only so but the Ultlanders ore compelled to pay nine, teen-twcntlcths of tho taxes, they uro not allowed to hold publla nicotines, thrlr newspapers are gagged, they havo not a fair nnd Just hearing In tho law courts, their children aro refused educa tion In tho public schools, after they have passed tho third standard though their fathers support tho schools to a very large extent, they havo to pay ex orbitant prices for things necessary for mining because of Uoer monopoly, and yet when trouble with tho nntlvo tribes arises tho Ultlandcrs have been called upon to go and fight with tho Uoers against their sable foes. It your readers will bear In mind that thoso Ultlandent who are so 'treated constttuto four-fifths of tho population of tho country, I nm suro that tho men who agree with tho terms of tho "Dccla ration of Independence," which you ho aptly quoted, must deeply sympathlro with the Ultlanders In tho Transvaal. Many friendly attempts havo been made to get Ptcsldcnt Krugcr nnd his advis ers to nmcllornto tho conditions of life among tho Ultlanders, but hitherto they havo turned a deaf enr, nnd, according to your showing, have becomo very Inso lent. It Is a repetition of the old story "Jeshurun waxed fat nnd kicked." The forbcarnnco of the Urltlsli people generally, and tho Ultlanders especially, Is. I think, most commendable. Things at present are assuming a very serious aspect, but I fully believe thnt tho moral sentiment of tho country will causo Mr. Krugcr to climb down a few rungs and then the threatened hostilities will be averted. Should tho present vexed question between tho Hoor nnd tho Ultlnnder havo to bo submitted to the arbitrament of tho sword It will bo a most painful spectnelo and a most dis astrous campaign. Very truly, James Hughes. Scranton, Juno 22. DISTRICT CONVENTION. First Legislative District.
