nations, than they split wide open with and start fighting a civil war among themselves This very thing has happened in Italy, Belgium, Poland and now in Greece It seems to be the old struggle of capitalism vs Connunism or wealth vs poverty When Ger many overran and captured these countries , the nobility and rich class escaped by means of their wealth and set up governments in exile, in England, Canada and other places They were well supplied with money and suffered none of the discomforts of occupation with its firing squads and starvations The poor people of these countries who could not escape had to bear the brunt of it and endure e suffering incidental to a defeated ation When the hour of liberation iie they refused to let the no lity nd rich class return and take over the country, hence the many civil ars which are now raging merrily ill over Europe Lnited States ha announced a hands off policy and de iied for self determination for lieraLed nations of Europe In Greece Sritian on the other hand has shown i disposition to mix into the fight on the side of the nobility and haa used tanks and artillery on the Creek Communists, whose numbers e vastly greater than

nutrients must be ui oalancod supply to give you top yields, the Committee says You cant increase crop production by adding only one plant food element when others are short If your soil has plenty of phosphate and potash, but is short of nitrogen, you wont get good yields unless you supply that nitrogen And the same is true of phosphate and potash, respectively University of Illinois agronomists demonstrated that it takes the com bined teamwork of lime, nitrogen, phosphate and potash to get mafci 1 mum corn yields They made their tests on nutrientdeficient soils at the Brownstown field A plot that had no fertilizer yielded only 147 bushels of core per acre When nitrogen alone was add ed, ihe yield was 143 bushel Add j ing phosphate brought the yield up to 24 B bushels because the soil got some nitrogen from clovers in the rotation When Potash akne was idded, the com nold was 119 bushels per sere Liming brought the yield up to 31 bushels When lime, nitrogen, phosphate and potash all were added in balanced supply, the ild rose to 44 bushels per acre 4 r OlftSO Ansrkaa Teketoisi Deiisrt sajMaaufscfcjren, 405 ay, Dec 22 at 7 pm AT THE FmCDICr HIGH SCHOOL GYM Puppet Show TO wr IT

COMING Con-Con Delegates Makes Eighth Progress Report The work oi the Convention this week is progressing in a routine fashion. There has been a tremendous overflow of proposals coming to the floor from the research directors since December I. We now have more than N00 proposals for revision under consideration by the Convention and I feel that this could be "a source of contusion" to the public as to the Convention's work to date. Unfortunately, many citizens have interpreted these proposals as final action, while oihers have been confused by conflicting proposals on specific issues. These proposals are only proposals and not final action. Each proposal will be given careful study and evaluation. Only those deemed valid will be incorporated into committee recommendations and reported out to the general Convention for further study. Talking to President Nisbet today, in regard to this danger, he urged citizens to withhold judgement on the issues until the Convention had taken final action. Dr. Joiner, a co-director of research, also backed up Mr. Nisbet's remarks and called the public understanding "the ultimate key to the Convention's success". LOCAL GOVERNMENT: Public hearings will dominate the committee's schedule within the next two weeks. Separate hearings have been selected to accomodate group representatives and public officials concerned with the particular area of the committee's work — cities, counties, townships and so forth. The series will be climaxed on December 1 and 20 with two evening hearings for the general public. After that, the way should be cleared for the committee to start hammering out committee recommendations. I would like to make one more plea to the people to come to the public hearings and express your views on changes in local government. We have listened to experts for two months and I solicit your interest in this manner. I am not so optimistic in t h e thinking of "not many changes in the present constitution", as 1 once was. We have had very few practical experienced people tell t h e delegates in general what their need is or luck*of need. I hope you will find time to attend the Convention often. Thomas G.

Appoint Citizens' Committee to Study Needs of Local Community School System The Pinekney Board oi Education voted at its meeting Iu4 week to set up a citizen's committee of about 100 district residents to study four aspects of the proposed $1,- 175,000 expansion of the school system's facilities including the building of a new 500 - student high school.

The Board's vote to become ;i- TdrTegTstration of voters directly to school officials and away from the seven township clerks handling the voting lists presently. The '$1,175,000 figure is. according to the Board, a 'talking figure" for the purpose of beginning expansion pl.ms and the actual bond issue figure to be voted upon mav varv. The estimate of building needs was made on the basis o\ informal evaluation and considerable studv of needs. An increase ot 6.25 per cen" in school enrollment this year and th: steady growth of population in recent year- causing crowded conditions in the district's present facilities is the reason for the Board\ action. Under the- -SI .175.00.') program, if approved, the present high school building would be converted into an intermediate school for 6. 7 and 8th grades, easing pressure in the elementary schools. The new high school building would accommodate expected growth for many years to come, according to plans. The expansion program wa> approved last month by Walton. Goucher, Young. Roth and Swanson.

It is a whole complex of diseases and conditions whose causes are largely unknown and for which medical science has yet to find a cure. Because of rheumatic >disease, 320,000 persons in this country are totally unable to do any productive work. The condition hits children, too, often with pain so intense that even the weight of a bed sheet is unbearable.

With no way to prevent the condition, physicians have great need for more and better resources for dealing with the arthritis prob^ lem. New tools and new methods must be developed through research, and the new knowledge thus attained must be quickly disseminated to physicians for immediate translation into terms of high quality treatment for their patients. To meet the critical needs resulting from a medical problem of such overwhelming proportions, The National Foundation- March of Dimes has turned the full force of its dynamic organization to meet the challenge of crippling arthritis. By directing an organized attack on the three major' fronts of research, patient aid and professional education, it is confident that arthritis, birth defects and other crippling diseases can be fought with the same success that marked its historic fight against polio. Here at the University of California Medical Center a whole new concept for dealing with chronic disease is being formulated. Supported with funds raised through the March of Dimes, an Arthritis Clinical Study Center is in full operation, one of a.growing number of such centers being estaba victim of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in the New March of Dimes-financed Arthritis Clinical Study Center in San Francisco where he is medical director. lished across the country with National Foundation grants. Under the ideal conditions afforded by a full-scale university medical center, with its splendid research facilities, an ever-increasing number of patients and a large group of medical students who will carry the experience and knowledge acquired here to all parts of the nation, the Arthritis Center is constantly stepping up the pace in the new assault upon rheumatic diseases. Under the direction of staff members who are experts in their fields, and with the close cooperation of specialized departments in biochemistry, orthopedics, physical medicine, pediatrics, radiology, ophthalmology and social service, a total team approach to the complex problems of the arthritis patient has been introduced. Work Pays Dividends Our work already has begun to pay dividends. Improvements in care have been effected. The range and amount of service have been increased.

Now the right answers are being worked out for her via a detailed and thorough program of style education at the "grass roots" level. 450,000 workers in the vast US fashion industries, the majority of tfcem women, have joined together in a Fashion Consumer service series of booklets and fashion films sponsored by the Union Label Department of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. Both the booklets and half hour colored films are distributed free with funds raised by a 25c monthly contribution from each garment worker. The booklets, written with a 'down to earth" approach, are modeled after publications of the U.S. Department of Agriculture other government agencies on a general fashion guide, 'Travel in Style," a booklet for travel wardrobe planners, three booklets on school wardrobes covering preschool to college, a bride-to-be trousseau guide, and a fashion book for teenagers. A capsule history of fashion with a miniature dictionary of fashion terms is now in preparation. The second phase of the ILGWU fashion education program is the production and distribution of color films to aid women in the ticklish matter of adding new clothes to their wardrobes each year.. Four fashion films have been produced, and the fourth of these, covering Fall 1961 style trends from high to budget-priced fashion, is being circulated in theatres, as well as 125 prints that are being distributed to TV stations, women's clubs, conventions and other meetings of women throughout America.

It's not the biggest buck you ever saw, to be sure — but who cares? A boy's first buck is the greatest hunting thrill imaginable, and there may never be another to match it. To celebrate, we invited all Mike's pals to dinner last night I served Venison Pot Roast. It's a delicious, simple-to-make dish — why not try it next time your deerslayer brings one home? Roll 4 lbs. of venison shoulder in seasoned flour. Brown on all sides in kettle. Add V4 cup tomato juice, Vi cup red. wine, 2 tbsp. horseradish, cover, and cook slowly, adding water if necessary. After about 2 hrs. 15 min., add 8 small whole onions, 6 medium sliced carrots, 6 stalks of celery, 2 small turnips (halved), 8 peeled potatoes. Salt to taste. Cook 45 min. more. Thicken juice with flour for gravy. Serve this with a green vegetable and salad, top off with ice cream and pie — and you'll be rewarded with whoops of joy from youngsters Mike's age to Grandads who remember Ulysses S. Grant!

The department's Health Manpower Source Book published in 1959 showed there were 8,118 physicians in Michigan, or 105.6 doctors per 100,000 people. It carries a report by the American Medical Association showing that by 1975 Michigan will n e e d 15,065 doctors if the state is to have what the AMA considers adequate medical service. This would provide 124.7 doctors for e a c h 100,000 of Michigan's anticipated 1975 population og 12,081,000, a number which could not possibly be supplied if present medical schools were forced to expansion beyond optimium capacities. • • • Where will these doctors come from? A Michigan State University study recently showed between 100 and 150 doctors of medicine were coming into the state each y e a r . This was over and above the number gradated from Michigan's two existing medical schools at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan. _.___ The need for more doctors, ths lack of Michigan's medical schools ^Lwkl'ttjg fj^ tb^ ^ i ^ \ neetb l € ^ to a rec\)Tnmendati6n by the 0. S. Public Health Service that additional medical education programs be started here. Michigan State University officials started a project two years ago to study the feasibility of establishing a medical school program on the East Lansing campus. The project resulted in the recent approval by the MSU Board of Trustees of the establishment of an Institute of Biology and Medicine. The Institute will be a two-year program of post-graduate education which medical students need before they can start clinical work. Michigan State officials proposed the two-year curriculum presumably as a start toward a fuU medical school program at East Lansing, but it was also intended to fill another gap in Michigan's supply of doctors. The MSU study which prompted the creation of the Institute showed some 700 or 800 vacancies occur annually in the third year of the nation's medical schools. Other studies indicated more two-y e a r programs were needed to fill these vacancies. University officials also saw ths Institute as a means of training enough teachers and researchers to staff medical colleges. In the 1959- 60 school year, the study showed ight per cent of these staff positions were unfilled. The Institute's work began immediately after the Board of Trustees approved the plan. Actual training of Michigan's future doctors at MSU, however, will 'await at least one' year of program development. MSU spokesmen said the greatest single need of the new unit would be additional teaching and research facilities. Present university faculty members, especially in existing biology and health-related departments, will be used but some other staff must be added. This state lags behind others in the number of medical schools. Michigan now has two. The 1959 federal report showed the picture in other states at that time: Ohio, three; Illinois, five; New Y o r k , nine; California, five; Pennsylvania, six; Massachusetts, three; Wisconsin, two; Indiana, one. Robert Herschal Ray, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Ray of Lakeland was christened on S u n - day, Dec. 3, at St. Mary's church here. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Martin of Belleville are the godparents. Following.the christening, Mr. and Mrs. Ray entertained at dinner at their home for the baby's grandparents, friends and relatives. Chuck Wiltshire, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Wiltshire of Pingreroad, is a patient at Highland Park General Hospital, where he underwent surgery for a lung ailment last Thursday. Chuck is a former P.H.S. student. Mrs. Oscar Beck is a patient at McPherson Hospital, Howell. UP S-3377 PROMPT SERVICE Work Guaranteed * ATSSETTIC Ph. UP S-314S 435 E. Mail PSaeka 24 HOUR SERVICE Reaction to the MSU program from officials at the two existing medical schools was favorable, though relatively reserved. The public reaction was not felt immediately but was expected to be that of overwhelming support. An adequate supply of doctors, many feel, would help bring medical costs down. If some measure of competition was present in the medical field, the "buyer's market" would enable more people to receive care and costs might be less to the individual. Whether a switch from the "seller's market" to a "buyer's market" brings about lower individual costs remains to be seen, but creation of the Institute of Biology and Medicine at MSU will almost undoubtedly be a giant step toward relieving Michigan's doctor shortage. Successful operation of the Institute and placement of its students in medical schools is also expected to encourage the establishment of similar post-graduate programs at other locations in the state.

Cutler, has arrived at I'ort Townsend, Wash., from Honolulu, with advices to Nov. ao, four days after the steamer Alameda sailed for San Francisco. In an interview published in the Evening Star, Minister Willis is reported to have said: "You are authorized to state that no change in the present situation will take place for several weeks. I brought with me certain instructions from the United States government on the Hawaii situation. Since my arrival contingencies have .arisen about which neither the United States government nor myself were aware when I left Washington. I have thought best, in exercise of the discretion allowed, to submit those mutters to Washington before proceeding further to carry out my original instructions. No one need fear trouble and no lawlessness will be permitted.'.' Capt. Cutler in an interview said: "Minister Willis told me he was surprised to meet so many broad-minded, lawabiding and thoroughly.intelligent people in Hawaii. Willis, who is religiously inclined, to a considerable extent associated with the missionary elements in the islands and came in contact with the ablest, most of whom are strongly opposed to the restoration of the monarchy and especially the queen, on account of her supposed unchaste conduct. This class of citizens were careful to see that Willis was correctly informed of certain facts that iilouut did not chose to consider." The Honolulu Commercial-Advertiser in commenting upon Minister Willis' interview, as above, says: "He added that 'any attempt made by any person or persons who tried to make trouble r? \Vhofu Little FJa ith JAPANESE Will Save You- It it * new and complete treatment, consist- Ing of Suppositories, Ointment in Capsules (also Ointment in Bo*) and Pith.

Til riff l l e f o n i i . After a h a r d stmpwle, tariff reform is directly before us. N o t h i n g so i m p o r t a n t claims our a t t e n t i o n and n o t h i n g so clearly presents itself a s both a n opp o r t u n i t y and a duty—an o p p o r t u n i t y to deserve the g r a t i t u ' • of our fellow-citizens a n d a duty imposed upon us by our oft-repeated professions and by the e m p h a t i c m a n d a t e of the people. After full discussion our c o u n t r y m e n h a v e spoken in favor of this reform, and they h a v e confided the work of its accomp l i s h m e n t to the h a n d s of those who a r e solemnly pledged to it. If t h e r e Is a n y - t h i n g in the theory of a r e p r e s e n t a t i o n in public places of the people and their desires, if public officers are really t h e s e r v a n t s ot the people, and if political promises and professions have a n y binding force, our failure to give the relief so long waited will be sheer recreancy. Nothing should i n t e r v e n e to d i s t r a c t our a t t e n t i o n or disturb our effort until this reform is accomplished by wise a n d careful legislation. While we should s t a n c h l y adhere to the principle that only t h e necessity of r e v e n u e justities the imposition of tariff d u t i e s and other federal taxation, a n d t h a t they should be limited by strict economy, we c a n n o t close our eyes to t h e fact t h a t conditions have grown up a m o n g us which in justice and fairness call for discrimin a t i n g care in the distribution of su-e4» duties and taxation a s the emergencies of the government a c t u a l l y demand. M a n i f e s t l y , if we a r e to aid the people directly through tariff reform, one of the t h r o u g h tariff reform, one of its most obvious features should be a reduction in present tariff c h a r g e s upon the necessaries -of life. The beiielits of such a reduction would be palpable and s u b s t a n - tial, seen and felt by t h o u s a n d s who would be b - t t e r fed and better clothed and better sheltered. These gifts should be the willing benefaction of a government whose highest fun* tion is the promotion of the welfare of m e people. Not less closely related to our people's prosperity and well-being Is the removal of restrictions upon the importation of t h e r a w m a t e r i a l s necessary 10 our m a n u f a c - t u r e s .

The interests of labor are certainly, though indirectly, involved in this feature of our tariff s y s t e m .

It is t h e result of much p a t r i o t i c and unselfish ' work, and I believe it deals with its s u b - ject consistently a n d thoroughly, as existing conditions p e r m i t . I a m satisfied t h a t the m i n c e d tariff duties provided for in the proposed legislation, added to existing internal r e v e n u e taxation, will, in the near future, though p e r h a p s not immediately, produce sufficient r e v e - n u e to meet the needs of t h e g o v e r n m e n t . The committee, a f t e r full consideration and provision a g a i n s t a t e m p o r a r y deficiency which m a y exist before t h e business of the c o u n t r y a d j u s t s itself to the new tariff schedules, h a v e wisely e m - b r a c e d in their plan a few additional int e r n a l revenue taxes, including a small t a x upon incomes derived from c e r t a i n c o r p o r a t e i n v e s t m e n t s .

In my g r e a t desire for the success of this m e a s u r e , l c a n n o t r e s t r a i n the belief t h a t a revolution can only bo a t t a i n e d by m e a n s of counsel OTi the ^">rt of th« friends of tariff reform, and as a result of their willingness to s u b o r d i n a t e personal desires and a m b i t i o u s to th* general good.

At first the life-saving crew went to her, but the captain declined assistance and sent for men to jettison the cargo. The boat was lying easy on sandy bottom and in no danger, but the wind shifted and blew a gale. The crew of the Wheeler signalled for the life-saving crew to take them off. The sea was washia-j clear over the , boat. The life-saving crew .launched their boat off the ice banks which lined the shore, and made two trips landing them all in safety.

They were a quarter of an hour too aoon; and Philip Durand, who loved the grand old pile with the artist's ardent love of line artistic work, walked In the shadowy aisles with his painter friend, and expatiated upon the beauties of the building, while Rose walked by his sidn, proud of her lover's learning and enthusiasm. Kathleen and Gaston waited nearer the .ftltar, the girl kneeling with bent head and hidden face, deep in prayer; the lover sitting: near, dreamily watcliiug the graceful figure In soft er.iy drapery, touched with glintings of colored light from the old stained windows. There were no other weddings at that particular hour on that particular morning. These two couples and their friends had the mighty fane ail to themselves. As the clock struck ten the or#an began to peal, and the priests came slowly towards the altar in their rich vestments—for the vestments worn upon the humblest occasions at Notre Dame are splendid—and the ceremonial began. All was over in less than half an hour, and Kathleen and her sister went back into the sunshine, out of the gray shadows, the magical lights from painted glass, the glory of gold, and splendor of chromatic color. "L* tha't all'."' asked Kathleen, looking up ftthvr lover-husband. "Am 1 really and truly your wife?'' "Really ami truly; and you would have linen just as truly my wife if we had never gone further than the mairie." "No, no, Gaston; for then Heaven would have no part in our marriage." "My sweetest, 1 am content that yon should be content. Women love old-world fancies." There was a stand of carriages in front of the church. Philip Durand hailed two of them, and the wedding-party got in. The two bridegrooms had planned the day between them. They were to breakfast at the restaurant in the Place de la Bourse, chosen for the sake of its winter-trarden, which gave an air of prettiness to the sordid fact of dinner. And just now, too, in this time of anxiety and ferment, the Bourse was the central point of Paris, where one could always hear the latest news. Just now Paris lived on tip-toe, as it were, palpitating, thrilling with the expectation of great victories— an Austerlitz, a Jena; the news might be flashed along the wires at anymoment^ of the day or night. The telegraph1 clerks were waiting, fingers itching to record the triumph of Gallic arms. No one thought of Waterloo. The bridal-party drove across the rivpr, past the Louvre, into the Rue de Rivoli. What meant this new life and movement in the streets—men running to and fro, women standing in little groups, laughing, crying, hats waved in the air—the wild excitement of a race-course? "One would think our happiness had driven all the world out of their wits," said Gaston, with his arm round his wife's slim waist There was only Madame Schubert with them in the carriage. She had insisted on • taking the back seat, and sat smiling benignly on the happy lovers. The coachman turned round and shouted to them as he rattled his horse over the broad space in front of the Theatre Francais. The pavement before the cafes was crowded with the usual loungers, smoking, talking, drinking; only the talk and the laughter was louder than usual, the crowd was denser, the a^f was full of electricity. victory 1''shouted the driver, looking rolmd at his fare, and cracking his whip ferociously; "a groat victory! MacMahon has made mincemeat of those Prussian dogs!" "A victory, and on our wedding-day!" oxclaimed Kathleen joyously; and then the sweet sensitive face clouded suddenly, and she said, "There can be no victory without soldiers slain. Many hearts of wives and mothers will be mourning to-day amidst all this joyousness. 0 Gaston, how thankful 1 ought to be that you were past the age for service 1" "True, dearest, I am better off here than with the Moblots; but if the National Guard were called out I should have to shoulder my musket." "But not to leave Paris," said Kathleen, nestling closer to him; "and there can be no fighting in Paris." "Heaven forbid! No, love; one or two victories, and Prussia will give us whatever terms we ask. What can a herd of Huns and Vandals do against the fine flowers of our army, the heroes of Magenta and Solferino, the graybeards of Alma and Algiers?" They drove along the Rue Vivienne. The narrow street was all in commotion; people at the shop-doors, people at the upper windows; a Babel of voices, a shrill uproar of laughter and exclamation. But in the Place de la Bourse, and on the boulevard beyond, the excitement culminated. It was the fever of Epsom when the Derby has just been won—the stir and tumult of Doneaster at the crowning moment of the Leger; and yet a deeper and stronger fever, fortius had the awfulness of life and death. Vie-tory, yes; but where? Which of the armies was.it—MacMahon's or Bazaine's? Or was it the two armies which had crushed the Prussian forces between them—which had met and joined, like two living walls, deadly, invincible, squeezing out the life-of the enemy? Everyone was asking questions, every one answering, stating, counter-stating, denying; but in this tumult of statement and counter-statement there was a difficulty in arriving at any positive fact, except the one all-inspiring fact that there had been a tremendous victory on the French side. Flaes were flying at all the windows—flag? produced as if by enchantment; and here came an open carriage slowly through the mob—pie carriage of a famous opera-singer. In anuistant it was stopped, surrounded by that surging sea of humanity; and the Diva stood up in her carriage at the entreatynay, almost the command—of the public, to king the "Marseillaise." The glorious finely-trained voice Tolled out the soul-stirring words, the notes rising bird-like and clear in the summer air, float* iftfiptotho summer sky; and then fifty thousand voices, the deep rough tones of an excited populace, burst forth in the chorus, like human thunder. Impossible to resist the magnetism of that passionate patriotism. The eyes of strong men grew dim, womeo sobbed hysterically. France, la belle France —she had been in peril perhaps; yes, strong though she was, there was never war without peril; but she was saCe—safe, trlum* phant, glorious, with her foot upon the enemy's neck. Alas, to think how the Gallic cock crew and flapped his wings during that offe wild hour! The bridal-party pushed their way into the Restaurant Chanip!;aux. Under the glass roof, in the covered flower-garden, there was such a mob that it was very difficult to get a small table in a corner, and a waiter who would cease from hurrying to and fro to take an order from the newcorners. Every one- was celebrating the victory with irood cheer of some kind. Champagne corks were flyln?, plates clattering, spoons and forks jingling, and everywhere rose the same din of voices. Purand and Mortemar contrived, by strenuous exertions, to secure a bottle of champagne and another of borbeaux, a poulet {\m* and a Chateaubriand, some fruit, cheese, salads and the wedding-party breakfasted merrily amid <t the din, squeezed together in their corner, stiilingly hot under the burning glass roof and in the crowded atmosphere. But who would not be happy on a wedding-day, and in the hour of victory? They sat at the little table for more than an hour, nearly half of which time had been wasted in waiting; and when they went out again it seemed to Durand's keen eye as if a change had come over the spirit of the crowd outside. There were only about half the people, and faces were graver —some faces of business men looking even perplexed and troubled; voices less loud; no more hats thrown into tiie air, no more laughter. The rest of the bridal-party were too much absorbed in each other to note this change In the public temper. The carriages were waiting to take them to the Buttes Chaumont, where it had been decided to spend the afternoon. They were to go back to a dinner, which Madame Schubert and Rose had planned between them, in Madame Schubert's apartment, which was spacious and splendid in the eyes of the dwellers in Git le Cceur. Durand and Mortemar had wished to give a dinner at some popular restaurant—au Moulin Rouge, for instance; but the women had set their faces against such extravagance. Rose argued that it was a sin to squander money on eating and drinking. She had heard that at such places a napoleon was charged for a single dish, a franc for a pear or a peach; yes, when peaches were to be had for three or four sous at the street-corners. So Maman Schubert and Rose had held grave consultations, and had gone marketing together on the eve of the wedding; and now, while they were driving merrily towards the Place de la Bastille, the duube a la Provcna.de was simmering slowly on the little charcoal stove in la Schubert's tiny kitchen. The petite fours from the confectioner's in the Rue du Bac were ready in the doll's-house larder, and the dinner-table was out with its fruit and flowers and golden-crusted loaves of finest bread, and bottles of innocent Medoc, ready for the feast. The excitement of the good news pervaded Paris. The Rue St. Antoine, the Place de la Bastille, were alive with idlers. They drove by the long dreary RuedelaRoquette, past the prison-walls, away to Menifmontant and Belleville, where the honest harmless working population, the blue blouses and w hite muslin caps, were all astir in the sunshine—a seething crowd. There was a kind of fair on the Boulevard, Saturday and Sunday fair—swings and roundabouts, and a juggler or two—all merry in the white August dust, under the hot blue sky. They drove through narrow old streets on the top of the hill—dusty, crowded, unwholesome, wretched dwellings;a truculent rabble, blue blouses, white night caps, everywhere; queer little wine-shops, queer little eating-houses, an intolerable odor of petit hleue and absinUie. simsc, a tumult of harsh voices—and so to the wonderful gardens, the green valleys and Alpine crags, the blue lakes and Swiss summer-houses, and Grecian temples of the old, old quarries that have been made into a pleasure-ground for the-people of Paris; surely the prettiest, gayest, most picturesque playground that ever a tyrant gave to his slaves. Let us call him a tyrant, now that lie is asleep in his English grave, and all the good he did for the Paris he loved so well is appropriated by new masters, his name obliterated from all things which his brain devised and his enterprise created. The wedding-party drove in by the gate that had admitted so many brides and bridegrooms, smart and smiling, in their new clothes, their new bliss. They drove a little way into the grounds, and then alighted, and climbed one of the Alpine promontories, and looked down upon the gay scene beneath. Never was a more joyous crowd beneath a brighter sky, amidst a fairer landscape. It seemed as if all Paris was taking holiday. The verdant valley was a palpitating mass of blue blouses, white caps, parti- colored raiment,brightened here and there by the uniform of a scrgcnt de ville. One could hardly see the greensward, so dense was this muster of human beings. The chalets were crowded with customers; lenV onade, syrups, coffee, ices. Bavarian beer, were being consumed wholesale. Mothers and children, fathers, sweethearts: Paris was all here en fiimillr,, all elated at the great news, somewhat vague at present But Gaston and his.young wife went higher and higher, seeking some solitary spot beyond this holiday throng, and at last found a hill upon which vegetation was wilder and more romantic, and where they were alone for a little while, looking down upon Paris lying in an oval basin at their feet, a city of white houses and church towers, domes and statues, girdled with gardens, flashing with fountains, the beautiful river winding through the white streets and quays like a broad blue ribbon, touched witk gleams of gold. "Is it not a noble city?" asked Gaston, proud of his birthplace, the only home he had ever known. Yonder to their left, on the i'opeofthe hill, lay the cemetery, crosses and columns, Egyptian sepulchres, Roman temples, glittering whitely in the sun, amidst a tangle of summer foliage. "Shall we be there, among the lines, when our life is over, I wonder?" mused Kathleen. "Perhaps you will have a tomb like BaUac's or Mussel's. Who knows?" T "Who knows, indeed, dearest? I have been earning my bread by my pen for the last ten years, and do not find myself any nearer the fame of a Balzac than when I began. Yet who knows what I may do now 1 have you to work for? Balzac had a long time to wait. Fame comes in an hour sometimes. And of late, inspired by thoughts of you, I have nursed the dim idea of a novel, as I tramped backwards and forwards to the office. Yes, I believe 1 have a fancy which, worked out faithfully, might hit the Parisians. But a journalist is the drudge of literature. Ail his faculties are the slaves of a tyrannical master, whose name is To-day. He must think only of the present, write only for the present. He must harbor neither memories of the past nor dreams of the future. If Shakspeare and Goethe had written for the papers we should have neither Faust nor Haintet." "But you will not always have to work for the papers?" "Who can tell? I must be at work early to-morrow to write a description of that scene on the Bourse for the Monday number." "If I could only help you!" sighed Kathleen. "You do help me, dearest You have helped me to nobler ambitions, to purer hopes. You liavo made me work with higher purpose, with steadier aim. You are the good spirit of my life," , "Tell me about your story," she said, "the story you have in your mind." "It is all about love—and you. I will tell you nothing. But some day I shall contrive to write it, between whiles, between paragraph and paragraph, leader and leader, and I shall get a publisher to produce it, under a numi de phmie, and the book shall be the talk of Paris; and you shall read it with smiles and tears, and you shall say, "O Gaston, what a painter, what a poet, what an inspired dreamer this man must be! 1 only wish I knew who he is, that I misht worship him.'* And I shall say, "Worship me, love. I am the poet and th«» dreamer; and you are my only Egeria." He looked like a poet, as he lay athei feet on the sun-burnt sward, his eyes gazing dreamily over the city in the valley—dreamily away towards Mount Valerian and the fortifications on the other side of Paris. They loitered away the long summer afternoon in serenest contentment, In deep Inexpressible bliss. It seemed to them as if life were henceforward perfect. They had nothing left to desire—except, perhaps, on Gaston's side, fame and wealth, in a remote dream-like future. Kathleen had no desire to be rich. Poverty had never hurt her; except in that one sad time, when her sister was ill. And now she had a little money, put away in a secret place, against any such evil hour. Poverty had no flavor of bitterness for this easily satisfied nature. Sh« rose as gaily as a lark; she went about hex little duties singing for very joyousness. Her humble fare was sweetened by her contented spirit. Her humble home was beautified by all those little arts which endeai lowly rooms to the dweller. And now, to begin life anew, on the same third floor, in the Rue (lit le Cceur, with her lover-husband, wa* like the crowning bliss on the last page of a fairy tale. The streets were very quiet, and had a somewhat gloomy look as the weddingparty drove back to Git le Cceur; but they were all too happy, too much engrossed by their own bliss, to remark the change that had come over the aspect of the city. Nr more flags, no more cheering, no mof*«ong of triumph. "I wonder they did not Illuminate some of the public buildings," said Durand, as they passed the Palais de Justice. Not a festival lamp twinkled in the August .sundown; not a star f colored light sparkled on all the length the quays; not a rocket shot up above the estnuts in tin Gardens of the Tuileries. Paris wore hei every-day aspect. However elated the city had been this morning, she was taking he triumph soberly to-night. The little dinner in the Ruo Git le Ccem was a great success. The feast was held in Madame Schubert's apartment, and that kindiy matron presided at the banquet Never was there a merrier meal; voices all mingling now and then in a joyous tumult of speech—voices low and sweet deep and resonant—and ripples of happy laughter; a frequent clinking of glasses, and anecdotes and calcmbors. Gaston's friend the Journalist turned out a wit of the first water; and the gray-bearded grave artist proved wonderfully good company; he was loaded with anecdotes, like a six-chambered revolver, and before his audience had done laughing at one story he had begun another, still funnier, and then another, funnier again, a perpetual-crescendo of mirth. Just as a crowning feature, with the dessert, came a single bottle of champagne, whose cork, exploded with the force of a cannon. "Listen there!" cried the journalist "How that thunders! It is the true wine of war." And at this a burst of gaiety. It is such a droll thing, la guerre, when oue's own country is winning. "Just one little glass more, une polichinellc, my friend," said Gaston, filling his fellow-scribbler's glass, "to fete our arms." After the champagne, Gaston slipped out quietiy, with just a whispered explanation to his wife. He had to go round to the newspaper office, in the Rue St Andre des Arts, to arrange about his descriptive article for Sunday, or, in point of fact, to write his paper on the spc"..

A man whom 1 had noticed on the passage over, but did not know at all. completely lost h i s ' h e a d a t this crisis. lie was sitting near me; but he suddenly rose, took off his hlj;h hat, put it in my lap. and, with the hasty exclamation, 'Please keep this,1 leaped overboard. Though evevy attempt wa.< made to rescue him, he was drowned t h e r e before our eyes, and I landed a short time later carefully holding his silk hat, which, by his last will and testament, was certainly mine."

T o the Senate and the H o m e of Repre- ficntatlvcs:—At the threshold of your de- Iberations you a r e called to mourn with •jrour countrymen the death of Vice-Presid e n t Ho bare, who passed from this life on t h e morning of November 21 last. His x r e a t soul now rests in eternal peace. H i s private lifo was pure and elevated, While hla public career was ever distin- fruished by large- capacity, stainless inegrlty and exalted motives. He has been removed from the high office which he honored and dignified, but his lofty character, his devotion to duty, his honesty of purpose and noble virtues remain with tta as a priceless legacy and example. T h e Fifty-sixth Congress convenes in its first regular session with the country in a condition of unusual prosperity, or universal good will among the people at Home, and In relutlons of peace and friendship with every government of the World. Our foreign commerce has shown « r e a t Increase in volume and value. The combined Imports and exports for the y e a r arc the largest ever shown by a •Ingle year in all our history. Our exp o r t s for 1899 alone exceeded by more t h a n a billion dollars our Imports and exp o r t s combined in 1S70. The imports per t.capita are a) per cent less tr.au in ltf'U, howlng the enlarged capacity of the Unied States to satisfy the wants of Its own Increasing population, a s well as to cont r i b u t e l\j luus,* ol the people of other nations. . Exports of agricultural products were •784'<7ili*i. Of manufactured products we fxnorted in value $"39,592.11«. being larger t h a n any previous year. It is a notew o r t h y tact that the only years in all our nlstory when the products of our manufactories sold abroad exceeded those 'bought abroad were ls98 and 1899. O u r F i n a n c e s . Government receipts from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1S99. Including $11,796,314.14, part payment of the Central Pacific railroad indebtedness, ag- C e g a t e d $610,982,004.55. Customs receipts w e r e 1206,128,481.75 and those from internal revenue $»3,437,161.51. F o r the fiscal year the expenditures w e r e J700.oaj.GC4.02. leaving a deficit of ¢89,111,539.67. The secretory of the treasurer estimates t h a t the receipts for the current fiscal y e a r will aggregate $o40,9i>8,112. and upon t h e basis of present appropriations the expenditures will aggregate 5600.958,112. Seaving a surplus of $40,000,000. For the fiscal year ended J u n e 30. 1890. t h a Internal revenue receipts were inc r e a s e d about $100,000,OCO. The present gratifying strength of the t r e a s u r y is shown by the fact that on Dec. 1, 1X99, the available cash balance w a s $278,004,837.72. of which $239,744.905.36 was. in gold coin and bullion. The condit i o n s of confidence which prevail 'througho u t the c o r n t r y have brought g*td into tnore general use and customs receipts a r e now almost entirely paid in that coin. The strong position of the t'/easury with respect to cash on hand and the favorab.e ehowing made by the revenues have made Jt possible for the secretary of the treasu r y to take action under the provisions of section 3G94. revised statutes, relating to t h e sinking fund. Receipts exceeded expenditures for the first live months of the c u r r e n t fiscal year by $13,U3.3S9.91, and, as inentioned abeve, the secretary of the t r e a s u r y estimates t h a t there will bo a • u r p l u s of approximately $41>.000,OCO at the tend of the >oar. Under such conditions it 4va*i deenu_*d advisable and proper to re- • s m e compliance with the provisions of t h e sinking fund law, which 'for eight Vears ha.s not been done because of deficiencies in the revenues. The treasury department, therefore, offered to purchase during November, $23,000,000 of the C per cent loan of 1904, or the 4 per cent funded loan of 19i/7. at the current market price. The amount offered and purchased during November was 51Si.40S.G00. The p r e m i u m paid by the government on such purchases was $2.2€3,&21 and the net saving In Interest was about f2.885.000. The success of this operation was sufficient to ind u c e the government to continue the offer to purchase bonds to and including th? -Sid day of December, instant, unless the r e m a i n d e r of the $25,000,000 called for erhould be presented in the meantime for redemption. Increased activity In industry', with its welcome attendant—a larger employment -for labor a t higher wages—gives to the t>ody of the people a larger power to abs o r b the circulating medium. It is further t r u e t h a t year by year, with larger areas of land under cultivation, the increasing Volume of agricultural products, cotton. c o r n and wheat, calls for a larger volume • f money supply, This is especially not i c e a b l e a t the crop harvestlus and crop- •asovlng period. . E « s k t sued B a n k l n f f . r I n its earlier history the national act -seemed to prove a reasonable avenue t h r o u g h which needful additions to the circulation could from time to time be m a d e . Changing conditions have appare n t l y rendered it now Inoperative to that and. T h e high margin in bond securit i e s required, resulting from, large premiu m s which government bonds command In the market, or the t a x on note issues, o r both operating together, appear to be Influence* which Impair its public utility.

I again urge t h a t national a u k s be authorized to organize with a c a p i t a l of $25,008. , T h e G o l d S t a n d a r d . I urgently recommend that to support the existing gold standard, and to maintain •*the parity in value of the coins of the t w o metals (gold and silver) and the e q u a l power of every dollar at all times i n the m a r k e t and in the payment o' d e b t s , " the secretary of the treasury be given additional power and charged with t h e duty to j»cll United States bonds and t o employ such other effective means as m a y be necessary to these ends.

The value, if an American merchant marine to the extension of our commercial trade and the strengthening of our power upon the sea invites th« immediate action of consK----,. u u r national development will be one-sided and unsatisfactory so long as the remarkable growth of oui* inland industries remains unaccompanied by progress on the seas. There Is no lack of ccnstiuti! )'\'U authority for legislation which shall give to the country maritime strength commensurate with its Industrial achievements ar.d with its rank among the nations.of the earth. The other great nations have not hesitated to adopt the required means to davelop their shipping as a factor in national defense and as one of the surest and speediest means of obtaining for their producers a share, in foreign markets. Like vigilance and effort on our part cannot fail to improve our situation; wh!ch is regarded with humiliation at home and with surprise abroad. Even the seeming sacrifices which at the beginning may be involved will be offset by more than equivalent gains. The expense is as nothing compared to the a d v a n t a g e to be achieved. I n v e n t ' g a t e T r u s t s . Combinations of capital organized into trusts to control the conditions of trade among our citizens, to siltle competition, limit production and determine the prices of products used and consumed by tile people, are justly' provoking public discussion, and should early claim the attention of the congress. It is universally conceded that combinations which engross or control the market of any particular kind ot merchandise or commodity net essary to the general community, by suppressing natural and ordinary competition, whereby prices are unduly enhanced to the general consumer, arc obnoxious not only to the common law, but also t i tiie public welfare. There must be a remedy for the evils involved in such or^aniz itlons. If the present law can be extended more certainly to control or check these monopolies or trusts, it should he done without delay. Whatever rower tke congress possesses over thN most important subject should be promptly ascertained and asserted. The whole question is ro important and far-reaching that I am sure no part of it will be lightly considered, but every phase of It wll lhave the studied deliberation of ' h e congress, resulting in wise and judicious action. f o r e i g n R e l a t i o n * . , A review of our relations with foreign states is presented with such recommendations as are deemed appropriate. The boundary dispute with the Argentine Republic has been settled and a convention of extradition only awaits slight changes in the text before exchange. It is gratifying to be able to announce that ihe Belgian government has mitigated the restrictions on the importation of cattle from the United States, to which I referred in my last annual message. A convention of extradition with Tlrazil. signed May H. 1S.7. lias been- ratilled by the Urlzllian k*j.'ls',ature. During the past summer- two national -.-hips of the United States have visited Hrazilian ports on a friendly mission and been cordially re- Cvdved. ' . The claim growing out of the seizure of the American owned newspaper, the Panama Star and Herald, by the authorities of Colombia. 1 as been settled, after a controversy of i-wpta! years, by an agreement assess:';!.: at VM.IMI the indemniw to be paid by : he .Colombian government, in three installments of Jli.iVfl each. The go.)d will of Colombia toward our country has been tes'iiieil anew by the cordial extension of facilities to the Nieara^ uan can,:1 commission in their approaching in\ CM Ration of tne Panama canal and other pr'.i-cted routes across the isthmus of Darlen. Discussion of the question? raised by the action nf Derrrnark In imposing restrictions on the Importations of American meats has continued without substantial results in our favor. IxtbiiiiiM C a n a l . The Nicaragua canal commission which has been engaged upon—Ihe work of examination and survey for a ship canal route across Nicaragua, having completed its labors and made its report, was dissolved on .May SI, and on June 10 a new commission, known as the Isthmian canal commission, was organized under the terms of the act approved March 3. 1890, for the purpose of examining, the American Isthmus with a view to determining the most practicable and feasible route for a ship canal across the isthmus, with its probuble cost, and other essential details. The great importance of this work cannot be too often or too strongly pressed upon the attention of the congress. In my message of a year ago I expressed my views of the necessity of a canal which would link the two great oceans, to which I again invite your consideration. The reasons then presented for early action are even stronger now. T h e P a r i s I m p o s i t i o n . Preparations for the representation of the industries, a r t s and products, nf the United States at the world's exposition to be held in PaTis next year continue on an elaborate and comprehensive scale, ' h a n k s to the generous appropriation provided by congress ar.d to "the friendly Interest the French government has shown in furthering a typical exhibit of American progress. There has been allotted to the United States a considerable addition e-f space, which, while placing our country in the first rank p.mong exhibitors, does not suffice to meet the increasingly urgent demands of our manufacturers. The efforts of the commissioner-general are ably directed toward a strictly representative display of all that moat characteristically marks American achievement in the inveTrttve a r t s , and most adequately shows the excellence of our natural productions. I am informed by our commissionergenera! that we shall have in the American sections at Paris over 7,000 exhibitors, from every s t a t e In-ottr country, .a number ten times as great as those whicn were represented at Vienna in 1S73. six times as many as those in Paris in 1878. and four times as many as those who exhibited in Paris in 18S9. This statement does not include the exhibits from either Cuba. Porto Rico or Hawaii, for which arrangements have been made. R e l a t i o n s W i t h G e r m a n y . Our relations with Clcrmany continue to be most cordial. The increasing intimacy cf direct association has been marked during the year by the granting permission ir. April for the landing on our shores of a cable from Borkum Emden, on the North sea, by way of the Azore:-, and also by the conclusion on Sept. 22 of a parcels post convention with the German empire. In all that promises closer relations of intercourse and commerce and a better understanding between two races having so many traits In common. Germany can be assured of the most cordial co-operation of this government and people- We may be rivals In rrany mi'Uiial paths, but our riva'ry should be generous and open, ever aiming toward the attainment of larger • results and the mutually beneficial advancement of er ch in the line of its especial adaptabilities. The several governments of the empire ser-m reluctant to admit the natural excellence of our food productions and to H'Tent the evidence We constantly tender of the <are with which their purity is unaided by rigid inspection from the fane, through the slaughterhouse and-the packing estaUlshmr nts. to the port of shlprr.i :-.t. c u r system of control over r::p>r?ed food staples- invites examination fr< m any quarter ,---^ challenges re- , spool by iti efT'H'^-t thoroughness. It !« to be hoped that in time the two governments will act hi common accord to award the real petition of their common- purpiso to safeguard the publia health nnd to insures the P'.ljltx^fiCuX wholeFoAieneas of "all food products imported by either country from the other. O u r ( a n u i l i u u N e i g h b o r s . In my last annual message I referred to the pending negotiations with Great Britain in respoct to the Domlnlpn. pf CaoiUr da, By means 6t aa exeoiuive agreement !i Joint high cnyimiHgton has been creased' for" the purpose of adjusting t&\ unsettled questions between the United States and Cajiada, embracing twelve subjects, amonir which were th«a questions of the. fur seals, the fisheries of the coast and i contiguous Inland waters, the Alaskan boundary, the transit of merchandise in bond, and alien labor laws, mining rights, reciprocity In trade, revision of the agreement respecting naval vessels in the great lakes, more complete marking of parts of the boundary, provision for the conveyance of criminals, and for wrecking and salvage. The m a t t e r of tire boundary has been receiving the careful attention which its importance demands with the result that n modus vivendl for provisional demarcations in the region about the head of Lynn canal has been agreed upon; and It is hoped that the negotiations now in progress between the two governments will end in an agreement for the establishment and delimlnation of a permanent boundary. Apart from these questions growing out of our relationship with uur northern neighbor, the most friendly disposition and ready agreement have marked the discussion of numerous matters arising in th° vast and Intimate Intercourse of the United States with Great Britain. U o e r "War. TI1I3 government has maintained an attitude of neutrality in the unfortunate contest between Great T-intain and the Boer states of Africa. We have remained faithful to the precept of avoiding entangling alliances as to affairs not of our direct concern. Had < sicu'mstances suggested t h a t the parties to the quarrel would have welcomed any kindly expression of the hope of the American people, the war might be nverted, good ofHces would .have been gkwily tendered. The United S t a ' e s representative at Pretoria was early instructed to see that all neutruJ American interests be respected by the romhfttar.-ts. This has been an easy task In view of the nositive declaration of Both British and Boer authorities t h a t the personal " i d property rights of our citizens should be observed. A satisfactory arrangement was concluded between the governments of Germany and of England, by virtue of which England retired from Samoa in view of compensations in other sections, and both powers lenounced In favor of the United States nil their rights and claims over and in...respect to that portion of the group lying to the east of the one hundred and seventy-first degree of west longitude, embracing the islands of Tutuila. Ofoo, Olosenga and Manna. I transmit to the senate, for its constitutional action thereon, a convention, which besides the provisions above mentioned, also guarantees the same privileges and conditions in respect to commerce arid commercial vessels In a'l of the Islands of Samoa a.s those possessed by Germany. T h e S p a n i s h Y.'nr, My annua! message of last year was necessarily devoted in ureal part to a consideration of the Spanish war and of tho. resuit it wrought, and the conditions it imposed for the future. I am gratified to anru.rnce that the treaty of peace has restored friendly rc.ctions between the two powers. Effect has been Riven to its most important p; ovision.s. The evacuation of Porto Rico haviim already been accomplished en the ISth of October, 1898. nothing remained necessary there but to oon- Liniv the provisional military control of the island until the congress should enact a suitable government for the ceded terrl'.- r;-. The withdrawal of the authority of Spain from the is'and of Cuba was effected by the first of January, so that the full re-epfablishment of pence found the re- !in.'Ui.--hed territory held by. us in trust for' the inhabitants, maintaining, under the direction of the executive, such government and'" control' therein as should conserve public order, restore the productive conditions of pence, so long disturbed by the instability and disorder which prevailed for the greater part of the preceding three decades, and build up that tranquil development of the domestic state wrureby alone can be realized the hi«;h purpose, as proclaimed in the joint resolution adopted bv the congress An the isth of April. 1S'.»S. by which the United States disclaimed any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over Cuba, except for the pacification thereof, and asserted its determination when that was accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people. The pledge contained in this resolution is of ihe highest honorable obligation and must be sacredly ker , t. C a b l e t o M a n i l a . Without repeating the obserratlons of my special message of February 10. 18»*, concerning the necessity of a cable to Manila. I respectfully invite attentipn to it. I recommend that, in case the ,contrress should not take measures to brinp about this result by direct action of the government, the postmaster general be authorized to invite competitive bids for the establishment of a cable; t h e company making the best responsible bw* to be awarded the contract; the successful company to give ample bonds to Insure the completion of the work within a reasonable time. Kn«Nla's F r i e n d l i n e s s . Claims growing out of the seizure of American sealing vessels in Bering sea have been under discussion with the government of Russia for several years with the recent happy result of an agreement to submit them to the decision of a single arbitrator. By this act Russia affords proof of her adherence to the beneficent principle of arbitration which her plenipotentiaries conspicuously favored at The Hague disarmament conference when it was advocated by the representative* of the United States. S a m o a S e t t l e m e n t . Important events have occurred in the Samoan Islands. The election, according to the laws and customs of Samoa, of a successor to the late king, Malletoa I*aupepa. developed a contest as to the validity of the result, which issue, by the terms of the general act was io be decided by the chief justice. Upon his rendering a judgment in favor of Malietoa Tanu, the rival chief. Mataafa. took up arms. The active Intervention of American and British warships became imperative to restore order, at the cost of sanguinary encounters. In this emergency a joint ooiuni'.jsion of representatives of the United States, Gerrrcny and Great Britain was sent to Sarrna to investigate the situation and provide a temporary remedy. T h e S i ' w C a b a . This nation has assumed before the world a grave responsibility for the future good government of Cuba. We have accepted a trust the fulfillment of which calls for the sternest integrity of purpose and the exercise of the highest wisdom. The new Cuba yet to arise from the ashes of the past must needs be bound to us by ties of singular intimacy and strength If its enduring welfare is to be assured. Whether those ties shall be organic or conventional, th • destinies of Cuba are in some rlrhtful form and manner irrevocably linked with our own, but how and how far is for the future to determine in the ripeness of events. Whatever be the outcome we must see to it that free Cuba be a reality, not a name, a perfect entity, not a hasty experiment bearing within itself the t lem.-nts of failure. Our mission, to accomplish which we took up the wager of battle. Is not to b,- fulfilled by turning adrift any loosely framed commonwealth to face the viaKMItudes which too often a.tteml weaker state* whose natural wealth und abundant, resources are. offset b y the incongruities of their political position und the recurrln.g occasions for interna! rivalries , -to sap. their strength and dissipate their energies. The greatest blcs3lr.f which can come to,.Cuba is.ih.e restoration-ai-liftr. Agrlcul* tural arul industrial prosperity, which will give empioymtnt to idle men and reestablish tiie pursuits of peace. Thii 1ft her chief and Immediate need. On tho 19th of August last an order was made fur the taking of the cerrsus In t h i I'lfc-laml.Me heJco'MpleKfa^ on the JlOth of ^NovenJse'r. fTy tJbe tpeaty of peace tho Spanish-popiSatlok on the inland have until April 11, 1&0U, to elect whether they will remain citizen* of Spain or become citizens of Cuba. Until then it cannot be definitely ascertained who shall be entitled to participate in tho formation of the government of Cuba. By that time the results of the census will have been tabulated und we shall proceed to provide for the elections which commit the municipal governments of tho island ra tho olficcrs elected by the people. Tha experience thus acqutrd will prove of great value in tho formation of a representative convention ot the peopie to draft a constitution and establish a genreal system of independent government for the Island, In lho meantime, and so long as we exercise control over tho island, tho products of Cuba should have a market In the United States on a* good terms and with as 'avorable rates ot duty as are given to the We«t India Islands under treaties of reciprocity which shall be made. • Eor the relief of tho distressed In the island of Cuba the w i r department has issued supplies to destitute persons, through the officers of the army, which have amounted to 5,433,000 rations, at a cost of $1,417,554.07. To promote .he disarmament of the Cuban volunteer army, and '.n the interest of public peace and the welfare of the people, tho sum of $75 was paid to each Cuban soldier borne upon the authenticated rolls, on cordltion that he should deposit 1 Is arms with the authorities designated by the United States. Tho sum thus disbursed aggregated $2.547,7¾). wni'-ii was paid ft'om the emergency fund provided by the act of Jan. f», 1890, for that purpose. Out of the Cuban island revenues during the six months ending June SO, 18JJ, Sl.712.OU."JO was expended for sanitation, $233.^1.711 for charities and hospitals, and $SS,9-14.03 for aid to the destitute. R e l a t i o n * W i t h Sun i n . Following the exchange of ratifications of the treaty of peace the two governments accredited ministers to each other,, Spain sending to Washington the Duke of Arcos, an omlnent diplomatist, previously stationed in Mexico, while the Un'ted States transferred to Madrid, Hon. Bellamy Storer, i.s ambassador at Brussels. This was followed by the respective appointment of consuls, thereby fully resuming the relations Interrupted by the wa-. In addition to its consular representation in the United States, the Spanish govornmont has appointed consuls for Cub.i, who have been provisionally recognized during the m-Mtary administration ot the affairs of that Island.

The force now in Manila cons'sts of 903 officers and 30,."73 regulars, and 5)4 office-s and 13.388 of the volunteers, m i H n . a>i aggregate of 1.499 officers and 4','Oi r'Ci When the troops now under orders shall re-ich an I In. ihe force M *he arehl . ago will comprise 2,(7.1. officers and 03,183 men.

Fortunately, sine* the refrfvalof paoaperous times, the leveni'es have grown roueh faster than the expenditures, and there is every indication that a short period will witness the obliteration of the -annual deficit. T h e Xnvy. The navy hag maintained the spirit and high efficiency which have always characterized that service, and has lost none of the gallantry in heroic action which has signalized its brilliant and glorious past. The nation has equal- pride In its early and later achievements. Its habitual readiness for every emergency has won the confidence and admiration of the country. The people are interested in the continued preparation and prestige of the navy and will justify liberal appropriations for its maintenance and improvement. The officers have shown peculiar adaptation for the performance of new and delicate duties which our recent war has Imposed. It cannot be doubted that congress will at once make-necessary provision for the armor plate for the vessels now under contract and building. P e n s i o n * . On the 50th of June. 1899. the pension roll of the United States numbered IW1,- 319. These include the pensioners of the army and navy roll in alt our wars. The number added 1O the rolls during the vear was 4n,mu. The 'lumber dropped by 'reason of death, remarriage, minors by legal limitation, failure to claim within three years, and other causes, was 48,186, and the number of claims disallowed waa 107.- «19. During the year fttf.OM pension certificates were Issued, of which 37,077 were for new or original pensions. The amount disbursed for army and navy pensions during the year was $1.:48.355.052.1)5 which was $1.051.461.(11 less than the sum of the appropriations. T h e r e h a n i . In accordance with the act of congress approved March 3. 18P3, the preliminary work +n oontwetton with the twelfth cerfi ' sus in now fully uudrr wav. 11 is believed t h a t the twelfth cenmis will empnasize our remarkable advance in all that pertains to national progress. The Philippine W»r. Th«> President treats at great length the Philippine war, covering all the efforts to avert war. etc. Oontlnuine. he says: It Is enough to say the claim of the rebel leader that he was promised independence by any officer of thp United States in return for his assistance, has no foundation in fact nnd is categorically denied by the very witnesses who were called to prove it. The most the insurgent leader hoped for when ho came back to Muni a WPS the liberation of the Islands from tne Spanish control, which they had been laboring for years without success to throw off The prompt accomplishment of this work by the American armv and navy gave htm other ideas and ambitions, and insidious suggestions from various quarters perverted the purposes nnd intentions with which he had taken up arms. No sooner had our army captured Manila than the Filipino forces began to assume an attitude of suspicion itnd hostility which the utmost efforts of our officers and troops w r c unable to disarm or modify. Their kindness and forbearance were taken as a proof of cowardice. The aggression of the Filipinos continually increased until finally, .lust before the time set by tb,o s'-nate ot the Uuited States for a vote on 1he treaty, an attack evidently prepared in advance, was made all along ihe American lines. whi;:h resulted in a terribly destructive and. sanguinary repulse of the insurgents. Ten.dayt* later an order of the insurgent government wirs-irsucd to Hs adherents who had remained in Manila, of. which Gen. Otis ,1ustly observes t h a t "for barbarous intent it Is imequaled in modern times."

Again I invito your atteMion to t h e reporf pf tha commissioners rur me mie;*^ ' a encouraging details of the work already acconipliuhed in tho establishment of peace an4 order and the inauguration of selfgoverning municipal life in many portions of tha archipelago. , ' N e u r o n iM.lnnt]. A notable beginning has been m a d e in tho establishment of a government in tho island of Ivegroa. which is deserving of special consideration. This was the first island to accept American Baver^ignty. Its peoplo unreservedly proclaimed, allegiance to tho United States ar.d ado/*ed a constitution looking to tho establishment of c. popular government. Tho. judicial power \* vested in three judges, who are to bo appointed by the military governor of tho Island. Inferior courts are to bo established. Freo public schools aie to bo established throughout tho poaulour. districts of the Island, in which tho linghsh language shall bo taught, and this subject will receive the careful consideration of the advisory council. Tho burden of government must be distributed equally and equitably among tha oeople. '1 r.e miT-'aiy •>• leet and receive the customs revenues and will control postal m a t t e r s and Philippine inter-island trado and oommerce. The military governor, subject to the approval of tho military governor of the Philippines, determines all questions not specilijally provided for and which do not come u n d e r t h a jurisdiction,of the, advisory council. Su!u I H I U I U I S . The authorities of the Sulu islands hava accepted the succession of 'the United Stutes to the rights of Spain, and our flag flouts over that territory. On the 10th nr August, ISM, iirig.-Oen. J. C. Pates. U. ,S. Volunteers, negotiated an agreement with the sultan and his principal chiefs. Uy article 1 tho KOV*.-. eignty of the-United States over the whole archipelago of Jolo and its dependencies is declared and acknowledged. Every tjdng indicates that, with tho speedy suppression of the Tarralo rebellion, life in the archipeiago wlil noon resume its ordinary course under the protection of our sovereignty, and the people of tht si" favored islands will enjoy a prosperity and a freedom which they have never before known. Already hundreds of schools are *»p«n. , .,. F u t u r e G o v e r n m e n t . The future .iroverciucut of J,h* Philippines rests with the congress of the, United Plates, Few graver responsibilities have ever been eonlided to it?, If we ac-' cept them in a spirit worthy of irur r a e s and' our traditions, . a great opportunity comes with them. The islands lie under the shelter of our flag. They are ours by every title of law and equity. They cannot h i abandoned. If we desert t+ie«i we leave thtm at once to anarchy and finally to barfj^riBm, We fling them, u gulden apple of discord, among the rival'powers, no one of which could permit another to seize them unquestioned. Their* rich, plains and valley* Kvould be Ihe scene of! endless atrlft aad blowiahed. The advent of Dewfcy's^eeT in Mai Una bay Instead ot being, as we hole, the d*.wr» of a new day of freedom and progrtW, will have been the beginning of a n . e r a of misery* and violence worse than any which has darkened their UhbappV past. It does not seera desirable that I ahould recommend a t this time a special arrd final form of government for these islands. When peace shall be restored it will be the duty of congress to construct a plan of government which shall establish and maintain freedom und order and peace iu the Philippines. L c K l s l a l l u n f o r H a w a i i . The people of these Islands are entitled to the benefits and privileges .of our constitution, but in the absence of any act of congress providing for fedoral courts in the islands, and for a procedure by which appeals, writs of error and other judicial proceedings necessary for the enforcement of civil rights may be prosecuted, they are powerless to secure their enforcement by the judgment of the courts of tho United States. It is manifestly important, therefore, that an act shall ba passed as speedily as possible erecting these Islands into a judicial district, providing for the appointment of a |udg3 and other proper officers and methods of procedure in appellate proceedings, and t h a t the government of this newly acquired territory under the federal constitution, shall be fully defined and provided for. G o v e r n m e n t f o r Porjfo K i e o . I recommend t h a t legislation to tha same end be had with reference to the government of Porto Rico. The time Is ripe for the adoption of a temporary form of government for this island; and many suggestions made with reference to Alaska are applicable also to Porto HJco. The system of civil jurisprudence now adopte d rP^j 1 , ^ 1 ^ 1 ^ °e ***** islWKl ie described by competent lawyers, who are familiar with it, as thoroughly modern and scientific FO far as ,4t rebates to matters of internaLiQgw>LUu*lnes6.. trad*, production and\»ocJai and private right in general. The cities of the island are governed under c h a r t e r s which probably require very ikjJe -or, oo ^changi. So t h a t with relation to matters of local concern and private right, it is not prehable -that mucn if any legislation is" aetrinVbie; but with reference to public administration and the relations of the island to the federal government, there ure many matters which are of pressing urgency. The same necessity exists for legislation on the part of congress to establish federal courts and federal jurisdiction In the island, aa has been previously pointed out by me with reference to Hnwati. It is desirable that the government of the Island under the law of J&elligerent right, now maintained through the executive department, should be superseded by an administration entirely eivil in its nature. For the present purposes 1 recommend that congress pass a law for the organization of a temporary government, which sh.all provide lor the appointment by the president, subject to confirmation by the senate., of a governor and such other officers a s the general administration of the island may require, and t h a t for legislative purposes upon subjects of a local nature not partaking of a federal character, a legislative council, composed partly of Porto Rlcans arrd partly of clti- ' zens of the/United States, shall be nominated and appelated by the president, subject to confirmation by the senate: their* »cts t o - b e euhject 4» ti»e approval of *he eongreas or the president prior to going ^1»to effect. In the municipalities and othor local subdivisions I recommend that t h e r n n - n p l e >of nelf-goverTtmcVt bcfappljed a t once, M> as lu enable the InteinRcnl^ltl- Kon* o t t h e a l a n d to participate in their owri a i W M f t o f w t l ' io Oeaffi by practical eTtperlence the duties and requirements of a so^f-cor.talncd und self-govern* ing rcople.

"Arthur St. John—alia3 Leslie— something else, no doubt, nowadays. He looked like a man of fifty. But I knew him; I knew him almost. In a 'Moment." "You couldn't ha sure," I said doubtfully. Meg smiled, but did not contradict me. But the smile was eloquent—it destfieed my folly. "I had gone down stairs early," Meg continued, leaning back in her chair, ?.nd pushing her hair from her brow with a nervous impatient little gesture. "It's not my way to get up early, is it? But I was restless, I couldn't sleep, and \ thought I should find a novel if I •vent down stairs. The servants weren't moving; but there was a fire In the study. The blinds were all down, but the lire looked <*osy; I went In and stood before it and warmed my toes. I dare say I was looking untidy, Kitty; I think he took me for an early housemaid; he came into the room quietly, and came up behind me, and—and he kissed me, Kitty. I hadn't heard any one come in, and I nearly screamed. But as I turned my head round quickly I saw his eyes, and I knew him, and I didn't scream—I was too frightened to move or make a sound " "Go on, Meg." "Then all at once John called to him from the passage. He called in a very quiet, mysterious sort of vevee—impatient, too. " 'St. John,* he said, 'your sister is waiting. Come.' "He opened the street door quietly and led some one in. They didn't come back to the study as I feared they would; they seemed to be detting out on some journey, and time seemed to be pressing. They stood for a minute speaking softly and quickly in the hall. Do you know, Kitty, whose voice I heard? It w"as a voice not to be mistaken— Madame Arnaud's voice. She was thanking John. She said such an I looked through the chinks of the Venetians and saw her go out. She had puffs of gray hair beneath her bonnet; her gown was bunched out at the sides; she looked sixty—quite. What does it all mean, Kitty? What is the mystery?" "I cannot tell you, Meg." "But you know? Kitty, you are trembling; what is the matter with you?" "Nothing, Meg—nothing!" I returned hastily. "I wa3 thinking—trying to think." But, try as I might, my thoughts refused to 3hape themselves. One idea, and only one, had taken possession of my mind. John had had business matters to talk of with Madame Arnaud! It was business that had taken him there so often—business that they talked about in such lowered, confidential voices! My spirits had suddenly grown buoyant, my voice almost gay. "Meg, stay here for a little while," I pleaded eagerly. "I want to see John all alone." "An uncommon wish!" laughed Meg; but the soft little glance with which she looked back at me robbed tn'e mocking speech of all its sting. CHAPTER XVI. . John was in the breakfast-room. He was seated in an arm-chair beside the fire, his elbow on the table that stood near, his head against his hand. I was standing close to him before he saw me. "John," I said in a quick voice that I tried in vain to steady, "don't let me go away from you! I don't want to go, John!" H.«» sprang quickly tG ^ 3 feet, his face lighting up. "Did I want you to r.o, Kitty?" he asked reproachfully. " i'our wish to leave me has been the bitterest trouble I have ever had to bear. I needn't tell you that. ne**i I? You know it only too well!" 'I DON'T WANT TO GO, JOHN." odd thing, Kitty; I stored it up to tell you—that was what I came to say. You have always been jealous of Madame Arnaud—and I used to think you had reason to be jealous; but now— well, now, I am not sure." '* "What was It that she said?" "She was thanking John for having given her so much of his precious time. " 'We know,' she said, 'that every m'nute spent away from Kitty is a minute you begrudge. You have besn very good; you have never let me feel how my affairs have bored" you.' " 'They have not bored me,' said John; 'we made a compact of friendship long ago; and what is the use of friends if they are not retdy to serve in time of need ?' " "John is a paragon to the end! How has he been serving Madame Arnaud, Kitty? What are her 'ataira' that have been 'boring' him and taking up hit time?" - "I don't know. I don't want to tell you, Meg—not now." "You are a little contradictory, dear; but never mind, mystery is the order of the da/. Do you know that Madame Arnaud came and went away in a dress and bonnet and mantle that madt t/ur lotfk c.ulte an old lady, an old lady of He had taken my hands in his, but I would not let him draw me near him. "I have been jealous, John," I said, bringing out the words in a sharp. labored way. "I have been jealous of Madame Arnaud!" "Jealous, Kitty! Have you cared enough for me to be jealous, dear?" he asked, sadly. "You have had no need to be jealous—none! Yet it i& good news to me, all the same." "It wasn't your love for hor, John, that I minded." I went on tremulously, the tears springing unbidden to my eyes. Perhaps—perhaps I did mind that, too; but that wasn't what I minded most You had loved her first and you couldn't help if you loved her best. You hadn't seen her for so long; you didn't know how it would be when you came to see her again—you couldn't help it! And I should have tried to bear it! What I couldn't bear was your always going to see her, your having so much to say to her secretly, so confidentially " "Do you know," asked John gravely, what those talks were about? Listen, Kitty, and I will tell you." "I know already. .You were helping the man about whom you told me yesterday— her brother—yes, I know. J o h a . ^ I went on eagerly, "you will let me stay? I said I wanted- to go, cut I didn't; it would break my heart to go! I'll be content, John; I'll be different and not tease you—I won't ask you to love me very much. I'll let my love be enough for both. And by-and-by, as you said, 'love may come.' You did love me—you said so—before you married me, and the love may come back again " John drew me toward him. He put his arm around me, and looked down at me closely, very tenderly, very wonderingly. "Kitty, you talk in riddles, dear," he said. "You won't ask me to love you very much? What does that mean? You know, dearest—you must k n o w - that, whether you ask or do not ask, I love you with my heart and soul." I looked up at him in bewilderment. "You said—you said that our marriage was a mistake, John," "It was you, KiUy, who said that." "But I said so because I thought that you thought so, John. And you agreed with me. Oh, John, you have forgotten you did agree with me! You said that you felt the mistake and regretted it even more bitterly than I." "For your sake, Kitty, for your sake, dear; because my love had failed so signally to make you happy. You told me that I had spoilt your life, broken your heart; that, when you had a wish, it was only a wish to die." "I didn't wish to make your life a bondage, John." John's eyes twinkled for a moment, and then were grave again. "Do you mean to tell me, Kitty," he a3ked incredulously, "that you doubted that I loved you?" "Do you mean that you could possibly doubt, John, that I loved you?" I retorted in the same tone of incredulity. "It was natural enough for me to doubt," said John humbly. "Much more natural for me," I returned, looking up at him with sparkling eyes. I had clasped my hands upon his shoulder; I put down my cheek against them. "I thought," I confessed, "that you had married me for kindness' sake— to—to provide for me, John. .Everyone thought so. Meg and Dora and Aunt Jane and even your sister. You yourself said that you thought of marrying me before ycu thought cf loving me." "Yes," admitted John; "years ago, I had some vague hope that you would give me the right one day to take care of ycu, to make life smoother for you. I suppose I didn't love you as long ago as that—I had only a very tender feeling for you. Love, when it came, was real enough in spite of that early thought. Don't scorn my love, Kitty, because I met it with welcome instead cf rebuff." There was not much scorn in my eyes as I raised my head and looked softly, smilingly into the gray eyes looking down at me. He kissed ms; and r^v a minute we stood in silence. "Kilty," he said at length, '^here is something that I want to tell you. I ought to have told you long ago. It was a painful story, and I did not tell rt. Come and sit down, and I will teh it now." He drew me to the little sofa beside the fire; and there he told me the story cf his first love, the story that in part I knew already. "She gave you up because you were poor?" I asked indignantly. "Don't blame her, Kitty! She gave me up for her brother's sake. It is more than ten years ago now that her brother forged that check of which I told ycu—that first check. There seemed to be nothing but utter ruin before him. Arnaud, the man that Lucia married, had money and influence. He used both on the tacit understanding that ehe should marry him. Her brother was saved for the time." "Was it the only vray?" I questioned. "I think some other way might have been found. But she could not be calm and weigh chances. She was devoted to this broiuer. For ten long years, as she said the other night in the park, she has hoped against hope for his reformation; has tried to be brave, has tried to hope for the best. And now, at the end of the ten years, things are just where they were before, I think they are worse this time, for this time he is less repentant. She is sacrificing her whole life to him; but she does it almost without hope. She la going away with him—to South America, to banishment." I was quiet for a moment. "John, I have been so unjust to her," I confessed in a low tone—"so unjust to her always in my thoughts." "She is one of the noblest women that I know!" said John. Again we sat silent for a minute. My heart was beating fast; I longed to ask a question which I dared not ask. "John, I won't be silly, I won't be jealous—tell me," I pleaded, "if you didn't try to love me, would you love her still—love her best, I mean?" John answered gravely, with an atr as earnest as mine. "I respect her," he said; "I shall respect her always. I do more than respect—I admire her. But that is all! The old love was dead, Kitty, years bafore the new love was born!" I was contented.—The End.

As the question was about to be put, there arose from one corner of the room a miserable female, wrinkled and gaunt, and, stretching out her arms, in a shrill voice she cried: "Look upon me. You all know me, or you once did. You all know I was once the mistress of the best farm in the township. You all know I had one of the best—one of the most devoted of husbands. You all know I had five noble-hearted industrious boys. Where are they now? You all know. You all know they all lie in a row, side by sid^, in yonder churchyard; all— every one—filling a drunkard's grave! They were all taught to believe that temperate drill kin*, was safe—excess alone ought to b e avoided; und they . never acknowledged excess. But I saw the gradual change coming over my family and prospects with dismav a r d horror; I felt we were all to be overwhelmed in one common ruin. I tried to ward off the blow I tried to break the spell—the delusive spell— in,which the benefits of, temperate drinking had involved my husband and sons. I begged, I prayed; but the odds were against me." And, with her arms flung high, and her tall form stretched to its utmost, and her voice raised to an unearthly pitch, she exclaimed: "I shall soon stand before the judgement seat of God —I shall meet you there, you false guides, and be a witness against you all." She spoke and vanished. But when the chairman put the question, "Shall any license be granted for the sale of spiritous liquors?" the response was unanimous— "No!" m i l l i o n * G i v e n ' A w a y It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

T h e boat called the North F o r k — o n ..which they took passage was very h e a v i l y loaded besides taking in tow a smaller boat called the Mare Island to carry the passengers up the Y u k o n . T h e boat made very slow progress and by the time they reached St. M i c h a e l s Island the season was so far advanced they could proceed no further as ice was already forming on the Y u k o n . S o m e of the passengers—Mr. Carlin included— returned to the states to spend the winter and go in over the Pass in the spring, while others remained on the boat in the canal, and it is of their life from then until the preseut time that is described in these letters. 4 cans best Tomatoes 1 can Plums to close 1 can Stringed Beans to close 1 gallon good Syrup 1 gallon 30c Molasses 1 gallon 40c Molasses .25 .02 .02 .20 •28 moon is a surprise.

Healey (here in winter quarters) we manage'very well to wear away £hq time. Three- a£ us sunk a shaft here on the low ground to see the nature of the soil and if possible to find something, but the hope of finding gold was not very strong. We went down 50 ft. 40 ft. was"frozen. The next ten soft with no frost after 45. We exploded the theory that one could not get through frost in Alaska. The fifty feet was through muck with uo change. We found plenty of shells, layers of ice, and evidence of made ground from overflows. At 50 ft. we got through muck into a fine black sand, and were hopeful some of reaching gravel possibly, but low! the next morning we had ten feet of water. We took out the water but could make no headway so had to abandon our hopes and hard work of over a month. We did not regret the work as it put us in fine trim, giving us good appetites, good muscle and in fine spirits. This climate is healthy— I never felt better. Have not had even a cold—which was quiet common in the rainy seasons of Washington. We are a mile from the sea, and it is a sight to go out there and walk over the ice. I t is piled and gorged on the shore in places higher than our boat and for two or three miles out you can see great hills of ice which was piled up by the action of the tide while freezing. I t will be a grand sight in the spring to see it ^o out. I would like to be at the mouth of the Yukon river and see the ice come down and pile on the bar and sand spits. Two parties started out from the boat to prospect in the foot hills near by. Dec. 13th 1897. Now I will write you of our winter life. After we were settled we went to work stacking up wood to keep us warm during the winter. We were not able to get to Stewart island, a distance of twelve miles, where we were goifig to put up wood.

Young is still in pursuit and hopes to find the i n s u r g e n t leader in Benguet mountain pass and capture him there. d e n . Young's command was met by a brass band at t h e outskirts of Santa Cruz and h e and his officers were escorted to houses where rest and refreshments were tendered them. After a week's absence in the interior of Luzon. IJen. Young has been heard from, lie reports having arrived at Vigan on the evening of t h e 5th, after an engagement with the enemy at Narbucan. whom he drove to t h e eastward into San ljuentiu Canyau with a loss of one killed and 1>' wounded. The enemy left -5 dead in the trenches, besides a few rifles, several thousand rounds of small ammunition and 40 shrapnel. His troops are now engaged in pressing t h e enemy back. j - I t i s learned t h a t the Filipinos deserted an almost impregnable position at Tagudin 3G hours previous to (Jen. Young's arrival. There were 000 rebels strongly intrenched under command of Gen. Tino, which could have slaughtered a whole brigade while they, were crossing the river. In fact 100 well-deciplincd troops could have withstood a very strong a t t a c k without serious loss. Gen. Gregorio Del Pilar, commandi n g Aguinaldo's bodyguard, -was killed by Maj. Peyton C. March's battalion of t h e 33d infantry, in a fight 18 miles n o r t h w e s t of Cervantes, Dec. 3. In addition to this death 70 other Filipinos were also killed or badl}' wounded. T h e American loss was one killed and six wounded. Maj. March is still in pursuit of the enemy. It is reported that the Filipino commander, Gen. Alejandrino, with his staff, h a s surrendered to tlen. Mac Art h u r , and there is also a rumor that Alejandrino is at Aguilar suffering from a wound received'in a light between insurgents arid bandits and that he will be given an opportunity to surrender and will be properly cared for. A force of insurgents estimated at 800, attacked the" American garrison of 200 at Vigan. province of South I locos. T h e American loss was eight killed and many wounded. After very hard fighting t h e Filipinos were driven off and through the mountains, leaviug 3a dead. Col. Bisbee reinforced the garrison. Eighteen hundred soldiers have been ordered to return home from Cuba. This will leave only 8,000 soldiers on the island and this number will be reduced from time to time. The ordering home of the troops is a preliminary step towards establishing a civil government. Orders have been issued for the remaining four companies of the 41)th infantry, now at the Presidio, San Francisco, to embark on the transport Sherman, which sailed for the Philippines on the 0th. ^.

Crop Report. THe Deeember^vrop repojrt issued from the office of the\secr»jtary of state on the 8th does not Wacribo t h e condition of wheat as very flattering. The report says: The condition of wheat, as compared with an average, is 80 in the state, 74 in the southern counties, 87 in the central counties, and 06 in the n o r t h e r n counties. A large majority of the correspondents report wheat as being badly damaged by the liy; a few report the condition good. Late sown wheat, in juauy instances, is as badly infested as t h a t sowed early, which is probably due to the warm, dry w e a t h e r of November. Some iields aiv Inung plowed up for other crops; other iields are being pastured by sheep. Taken as a whole, the crop is seriously damaged, with little prospect for its recovery, eventually. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers in November at the flouring mills is .)02,347, and at the elevators 10(5,307, or a total of ()tiS,0;>0 bushels. Of this whole amount 538,170 bushels were marketed in the southern four ties of counties, «»5,874 in the central counties and 34,012 bushels in the northern counties. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed in the four months, August-November. is 2,081,403, which is 4,840,103 bushels less than reported marketed in the same m o n t h s last year. At 48 mills and elevators from which reports have been received there was no wheat mark e t e d™ November. The total amount of wheat shipped by railroads from t h e various stations, as' reported for October, is 171.014 bushels. The condition of live stock throughout the state is good. In some counties considerable stock is beVng- fed for market, while in other sections very little is being fattened on account of the price of hay. The condition of horses, cattle and sheep, in the state, is 00, and of swine 07. In most parts of the state fall pasture has been good. While it has been too dry in some parts of the state for pasture to grow, the condition for the state being 87, yet in the main all kinds of stock have done fairly well.

Kepreseutative farmers in the vicinity of Kalamazoo agree t h a t the chances for a good wheat crop in t h a t county are poor because of the ravages of the Hessian ily.

The use or track tanks by which locomotives of high speed passenger trains may take water without t o p - ping is almost universal on the larger Eastern reads, Where fast expresses are the rule. The B. & O. R. R. haa a number between Washington and Philadelphia and Intends to equip the entire Main Line in the future. This decision was recently arrived at through the us3 of passenger locomotives, equipped with water scoops, on fast freight trains. It was found that much time was saved, danger from stopping, being reduced to a minimum and cost of running lessened. The extra stops for water take much time and the wear and tear *on equipment is no small matter. If the experiment on this part of the road proves successful, track tanks will be installed on every division between Baltimore and Chicago. As a starter, the 50 new Vauclain compound engines recently ordered will be fitted with water scoops. READ WHAT A VOX « 0 D A T S TOO G A S T * t XX T O S l b UfeWXS.

It is a notew o r t h y tact that the only years in all our nlstory when the products of our manufactories sold abroad exceeded those 'bought abroad were ls98 and 1899. O u r F i n a n c e s . Government receipts from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1S99. Including $11,796,314.14, part payment of the Central Pacific railroad indebtedness, ag- C e g a t e d $610,982,004.55. Customs receipts w e r e 1206,128,481.75 and those from internal revenue $»3,437,161.51. F o r the fiscal year the expenditures w e r e J700.oaj.GC4.02. leaving a deficit of ¢89,111,539.67. The secretory of the treasurer estimates t h a t the receipts for the current fiscal y e a r will aggregate $o40,9i>8,112. and upon t h e basis of present appropriations the expenditures will aggregate 5600.958,112. Seaving a surplus of $40,000,000. For the fiscal year ended J u n e 30. 1890. t h a Internal revenue receipts were inc r e a s e d about $100,000,OCO. The present gratifying strength of the t r e a s u r y is shown by the fact that on Dec. 1, 1X99, the available cash balance w a s $278,004,837.72. of which $239,744.905.36 was. in gold coin and bullion. The condit i o n s of confidence which prevail 'througho u t the c o r n t r y have brought g*td into tnore general use and customs receipts a r e now almost entirely paid in that coin. The strong position of the t'/easury with respect to cash on hand and the favorab.e ehowing made by the revenues have made Jt possible for the secretary of the treasu r y to take action under the provisions of section 3G94. revised statutes, relating to t h e sinking fund. Receipts exceeded expenditures for the first live months of the c u r r e n t fiscal year by $13,U3.3S9.91, and, as inentioned abeve, the secretary of the t r e a s u r y estimates t h a t there will bo a • u r p l u s of approximately $41>.000,OCO at the tend of the >oar. Under such conditions it 4va*i deenu_*d advisable and proper to re- • s m e compliance with the provisions of t h e sinking fund law, which 'for eight Vears ha.s not been done because of deficiencies in the revenues. The treasury department, therefore, offered to purchase during November, $23,000,000 of the C per cent loan of 1904, or the 4 per cent funded loan of 19i/7. at the current market price. The amount offered and purchased during November was 51Si.40S.G00. The p r e m i u m paid by the government on such purchases was $2.2€3,&21 and the net saving In Interest was about f2.885.000. The success of this operation was sufficient to ind u c e the government to continue the offer to purchase bonds to and including th? -Sid day of December, instant, unless the r e m a i n d e r of the $25,000,000 called for erhould be presented in the meantime for redemption. Increased activity In industry', with its welcome attendant—a larger employment -for labor a t higher wages—gives to the t>ody of the people a larger power to abs o r b the circulating medium. It is further t r u e t h a t year by year, with larger areas of land under cultivation, the increasing Volume of agricultural products, cotton. c o r n and wheat, calls for a larger volume • f money supply, This is especially not i c e a b l e a t the crop harvestlus and crop- •asovlng period. . E « s k t sued B a n k l n f f . r I n its earlier history the national act -seemed to prove a reasonable avenue t h r o u g h which needful additions to the circulation could from time to time be m a d e . Changing conditions have appare n t l y rendered it now Inoperative to that and.

While t h e r e Is now no commercial fright which w i t h d r a w s goLd from the government. but, on the contrary, such widespread confidence t h a t gold Beeks the treasury d e m a n d i n g paper money in exchange, yet t h e very situation points to the present A S the most fitting time to make adequate provision to insure the continuance of t h e gold standar d and of public confidence i n the ability and purport of the governm e n t to meet ail its obligations in the money which the civilized world recognizes a s the lH*(-t.

The value, if an American merchant marine to the extension of our commercial trade and the strengthening of our power upon the sea invites th« immediate action of consK----,. u u r national development will be one-sided and unsatisfactory so long as the remarkable growth of oui* inland industries remains unaccompanied by progress on the seas. There Is no lack of ccnstiuti! )'\'U authority for legislation which shall give to the country maritime strength commensurate with its Industrial achievements ar.d with its rank among the nations.of the earth. The other great nations have not hesitated to adopt the required means to davelop their shipping as a factor in national defense and as one of the surest and speediest means of obtaining for their producers a share, in foreign markets. Like vigilance and effort on our part cannot fail to improve our situation; wh!ch is regarded with humiliation at home and with surprise abroad. Even the seeming sacrifices which at the beginning may be involved will be offset by more than equivalent gains. The expense is as nothing compared to the a d v a n t a g e to be achieved. I n v e n t ' g a t e T r u s t s . Combinations of capital organized into trusts to control the conditions of trade among our citizens, to siltle competition, limit production and determine the prices of products used and consumed by tile people, are justly' provoking public discussion, and should early claim the attention of the congress. It is universally conceded that combinations which engross or control the market of any particular kind ot merchandise or commodity net essary to the general community, by suppressing natural and ordinary competition, whereby prices are unduly enhanced to the general consumer, arc obnoxious not only to the common law, but also t i tiie public welfare. There must be a remedy for the evils involved in such or^aniz itlons. If the present law can be extended more certainly to control or check these monopolies or trusts, it should he done without delay. Whatever rower tke congress possesses over thN most important subject should be promptly ascertained and asserted. The whole question is ro important and far-reaching that I am sure no part of it will be lightly considered, but every phase of It wll lhave the studied deliberation of ' h e congress, resulting in wise and judicious action. f o r e i g n R e l a t i o n * . , A review of our relations with foreign states is presented with such recommendations as are deemed appropriate. The boundary dispute with the Argentine Republic has been settled and a convention of extradition only awaits slight changes in the text before exchange. It is gratifying to be able to announce that ihe Belgian government has mitigated the restrictions on the importation of cattle from the United States, to which I referred in my last annual message. A convention of extradition with Tlrazil. signed May H. 1S.7. lias been- ratilled by the Urlzllian k*j.'ls',ature. During the past summer- two national -.-hips of the United States have visited Hrazilian ports on a friendly mission and been cordially re- Cvdved. ' . The claim growing out of the seizure of the American owned newspaper, the Panama Star and Herald, by the authorities of Colombia. 1 as been settled, after a controversy of i-wpta! years, by an agreement assess:';!.: at VM.IMI the indemniw to be paid by : he .Colombian government, in three installments of Jli.iVfl each. The go.)d will of Colombia toward our country has been tes'iiieil anew by the cordial extension of facilities to the Nieara^ uan can,:1 commission in their approaching in\ CM Ration of tne Panama canal and other pr'.i-cted routes across the isthmus of Darlen. Discussion of the question? raised by the action nf Derrrnark In imposing restrictions on the Importations of American meats has continued without substantial results in our favor. IxtbiiiiiM C a n a l . The Nicaragua canal commission which has been engaged upon—Ihe work of examination and survey for a ship canal route across Nicaragua, having completed its labors and made its report, was dissolved on .May SI, and on June 10 a new commission, known as the Isthmian canal commission, was organized under the terms of the act approved March 3. 1890, for the purpose of examining, the American Isthmus with a view to determining the most practicable and feasible route for a ship canal across the isthmus, with its probuble cost, and other essential details. The great importance of this work cannot be too often or too strongly pressed upon the attention of the congress. In my message of a year ago I expressed my views of the necessity of a canal which would link the two great oceans, to which I again invite your consideration. The reasons then presented for early action are even stronger now. T h e P a r i s I m p o s i t i o n . Preparations for the representation of the industries, a r t s and products, nf the United States at the world's exposition to be held in PaTis next year continue on an elaborate and comprehensive scale, ' h a n k s to the generous appropriation provided by congress ar.d to "the friendly Interest the French government has shown in furthering a typical exhibit of American progress. There has been allotted to the United States a considerable addition e-f space, which, while placing our country in the first rank p.mong exhibitors, does not suffice to meet the increasingly urgent demands of our manufacturers. The efforts of the commissioner-general are ably directed toward a strictly representative display of all that moat characteristically marks American achievement in the inveTrttve a r t s , and most adequately shows the excellence of our natural productions. I am informed by our commissionergenera! that we shall have in the American sections at Paris over 7,000 exhibitors, from every s t a t e In-ottr country, .a number ten times as great as those whicn were represented at Vienna in 1S73. six times as many as those in Paris in 1878. and four times as many as those who exhibited in Paris in 18S9. This statement does not include the exhibits from either Cuba. Porto Rico or Hawaii, for which arrangements have been made. R e l a t i o n s W i t h G e r m a n y . Our relations with Clcrmany continue to be most cordial. The increasing intimacy cf direct association has been marked during the year by the granting permission ir. April for the landing on our shores of a cable from Borkum Emden, on the North sea, by way of the Azore:-, and also by the conclusion on Sept. 22 of a parcels post convention with the German empire. In all that promises closer relations of intercourse and commerce and a better understanding between two races having so many traits In common. Germany can be assured of the most cordial co-operation of this government and people- We may be rivals In rrany mi'Uiial paths, but our riva'ry should be generous and open, ever aiming toward the attainment of larger • results and the mutually beneficial advancement of er ch in the line of its especial adaptabilities. The several governments of the empire ser-m reluctant to admit the natural excellence of our food productions and to H'Tent the evidence We constantly tender of the <are with which their purity is unaided by rigid inspection from the fane, through the slaughterhouse and-the packing estaUlshmr nts. to the port of shlprr.i :-.t. c u r system of control over r::p>r?ed food staples- invites examination fr< m any quarter ,---^ challenges re- , spool by iti efT'H'^-t thoroughness. It !« to be hoped that in time the two governments will act hi common accord to award the real petition of their common- purpiso to safeguard the publia health nnd to insures the P'.ljltx^fiCuX wholeFoAieneas of "all food products imported by either country from the other. O u r ( a n u i l i u u N e i g h b o r s . In my last annual message I referred to the pending negotiations with Great Britain in respoct to the Domlnlpn. pf CaoiUr da, By means 6t aa exeoiuive agreement !i Joint high cnyimiHgton has been creased' for" the purpose of adjusting t&\ unsettled questions between the United States and Cajiada, embracing twelve subjects, amonir which were th«a questions of the. fur seals, the fisheries of the coast and i contiguous Inland waters, the Alaskan boundary, the transit of merchandise in bond, and alien labor laws, mining rights, reciprocity In trade, revision of the agreement respecting naval vessels in the great lakes, more complete marking of parts of the boundary, provision for the conveyance of criminals, and for wrecking and salvage. The m a t t e r of tire boundary has been receiving the careful attention which its importance demands with the result that n modus vivendl for provisional demarcations in the region about the head of Lynn canal has been agreed upon; and It is hoped that the negotiations now in progress between the two governments will end in an agreement for the establishment and delimlnation of a permanent boundary. Apart from these questions growing out of our relationship with uur northern neighbor, the most friendly disposition and ready agreement have marked the discussion of numerous matters arising in th° vast and Intimate Intercourse of the United States with Great Britain. U o e r "War. TI1I3 government has maintained an attitude of neutrality in the unfortunate contest between Great T-intain and the Boer states of Africa. We have remained faithful to the precept of avoiding entangling alliances as to affairs not of our direct concern. Had < sicu'mstances suggested t h a t the parties to the quarrel would have welcomed any kindly expression of the hope of the American people, the war might be nverted, good ofHces would .have been gkwily tendered. The United S t a ' e s representative at Pretoria was early instructed to see that all neutruJ American interests be respected by the romhfttar.-ts. This has been an easy task In view of the nositive declaration of Both British and Boer authorities t h a t the personal " i d property rights of our citizens should be observed. A satisfactory arrangement was concluded between the governments of Germany and of England, by virtue of which England retired from Samoa in view of compensations in other sections, and both powers lenounced In favor of the United States nil their rights and claims over and in...respect to that portion of the group lying to the east of the one hundred and seventy-first degree of west longitude, embracing the islands of Tutuila. Ofoo, Olosenga and Manna. I transmit to the senate, for its constitutional action thereon, a convention, which besides the provisions above mentioned, also guarantees the same privileges and conditions in respect to commerce arid commercial vessels In a'l of the Islands of Samoa a.s those possessed by Germany. T h e S p a n i s h Y.'nr, My annua! message of last year was necessarily devoted in ureal part to a consideration of the Spanish war and of tho. resuit it wrought, and the conditions it imposed for the future. I am gratified to anru.rnce that the treaty of peace has restored friendly rc.ctions between the two powers. Effect has been Riven to its most important p; ovision.s. The evacuation of Porto Rico haviim already been accomplished en the ISth of October, 1898. nothing remained necessary there but to oon- Liniv the provisional military control of the island until the congress should enact a suitable government for the ceded terrl'.- r;-. The withdrawal of the authority of Spain from the is'and of Cuba was effected by the first of January, so that the full re-epfablishment of pence found the re- !in.'Ui.--hed territory held by. us in trust for' the inhabitants, maintaining, under the direction of the executive, such government and'" control' therein as should conserve public order, restore the productive conditions of pence, so long disturbed by the instability and disorder which prevailed for the greater part of the preceding three decades, and build up that tranquil development of the domestic state wrureby alone can be realized the hi«;h purpose, as proclaimed in the joint resolution adopted bv the congress An the isth of April. 1S'.»S. by which the United States disclaimed any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over Cuba, except for the pacification thereof, and asserted its determination when that was accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people. The pledge contained in this resolution is of ihe highest honorable obligation and must be sacredly ker , t. C a b l e t o M a n i l a . Without repeating the obserratlons of my special message of February 10. 18»*, concerning the necessity of a cable to Manila. I respectfully invite attentipn to it. I recommend that, in case the ,contrress should not take measures to brinp about this result by direct action of the government, the postmaster general be authorized to invite competitive bids for the establishment of a cable; t h e company making the best responsible bw* to be awarded the contract; the successful company to give ample bonds to Insure the completion of the work within a reasonable time. Kn«Nla's F r i e n d l i n e s s . Claims growing out of the seizure of American sealing vessels in Bering sea have been under discussion with the government of Russia for several years with the recent happy result of an agreement to submit them to the decision of a single arbitrator. By this act Russia affords proof of her adherence to the beneficent principle of arbitration which her plenipotentiaries conspicuously favored at The Hague disarmament conference when it was advocated by the representative* of the United States. S a m o a S e t t l e m e n t . Important events have occurred in the Samoan Islands. The election, according to the laws and customs of Samoa, of a successor to the late king, Malletoa I*aupepa. developed a contest as to the validity of the result, which issue, by the terms of the general act was io be decided by the chief justice. Upon his rendering a judgment in favor of Malietoa Tanu, the rival chief. Mataafa. took up arms. The active Intervention of American and British warships became imperative to restore order, at the cost of sanguinary encounters. In this emergency a joint ooiuni'.jsion of representatives of the United States, Gerrrcny and Great Britain was sent to Sarrna to investigate the situation and provide a temporary remedy. T h e S i ' w C a b a . This nation has assumed before the world a grave responsibility for the future good government of Cuba. We have accepted a trust the fulfillment of which calls for the sternest integrity of purpose and the exercise of the highest wisdom. The new Cuba yet to arise from the ashes of the past must needs be bound to us by ties of singular intimacy and strength If its enduring welfare is to be assured. Whether those ties shall be organic or conventional, th • destinies of Cuba are in some rlrhtful form and manner irrevocably linked with our own, but how and how far is for the future to determine in the ripeness of events. Whatever be the outcome we must see to it that free Cuba be a reality, not a name, a perfect entity, not a hasty experiment bearing within itself the t lem.-nts of failure. Our mission, to accomplish which we took up the wager of battle. Is not to b,- fulfilled by turning adrift any loosely framed commonwealth to face the viaKMItudes which too often a.tteml weaker state* whose natural wealth und abundant, resources are. offset b y the incongruities of their political position und the recurrln.g occasions for interna! rivalries , -to sap. their strength and dissipate their energies. The greatest blcs3lr.f which can come to,.Cuba is.ih.e restoration-ai-liftr. Agrlcul* tural arul industrial prosperity, which will give empioymtnt to idle men and reestablish tiie pursuits of peace. Thii 1ft her chief and Immediate need.

Until then it cannot be definitely ascertained who shall be entitled to participate in tho formation of the government of Cuba. By that time the results of the census will have been tabulated und we shall proceed to provide for the elections which commit the municipal governments of tho island ra tho olficcrs elected by the people. Tha experience thus acqutrd will prove of great value in tho formation of a representative convention ot the peopie to draft a constitution and establish a genreal system of independent government for the Island, In lho meantime, and so long as we exercise control over tho island, tho products of Cuba should have a market In the United States on a* good terms and with as 'avorable rates ot duty as are given to the We«t India Islands under treaties of reciprocity which shall be made. • Eor the relief of tho distressed In the island of Cuba the w i r department has issued supplies to destitute persons, through the officers of the army, which have amounted to 5,433,000 rations, at a cost of $1,417,554.07. To promote .he disarmament of the Cuban volunteer army, and '.n the interest of public peace and the welfare of the people, tho sum of $75 was paid to each Cuban soldier borne upon the authenticated rolls, on cordltion that he should deposit 1 Is arms with the authorities designated by the United States. Tho sum thus disbursed aggregated $2.547,7¾). wni'-ii was paid ft'om the emergency fund provided by the act of Jan. f», 1890, for that purpose. Out of the Cuban island revenues during the six months ending June SO, 18JJ, Sl.712.OU."JO was expended for sanitation, $233.^1.711 for charities and hospitals, and $SS,9-14.03 for aid to the destitute. R e l a t i o n * W i t h Sun i n . Following the exchange of ratifications of the treaty of peace the two governments accredited ministers to each other,, Spain sending to Washington the Duke of Arcos, an omlnent diplomatist, previously stationed in Mexico, while the Un'ted States transferred to Madrid, Hon. Bellamy Storer, i.s ambassador at Brussels. This was followed by the respective appointment of consuls, thereby fully resuming the relations Interrupted by the wa-. In addition to its consular representation in the United States, the Spanish govornmont has appointed consuls for Cub.i, who have been provisionally recognized during the m-Mtary administration ot the affairs of that Island.

Fortunately, sine* the refrfvalof paoaperous times, the leveni'es have grown roueh faster than the expenditures, and there is every indication that a short period will witness the obliteration of the -annual deficit. T h e Xnvy. The navy hag maintained the spirit and high efficiency which have always characterized that service, and has lost none of the gallantry in heroic action which has signalized its brilliant and glorious past. The nation has equal- pride In its early and later achievements. Its habitual readiness for every emergency has won the confidence and admiration of the country. The people are interested in the continued preparation and prestige of the navy and will justify liberal appropriations for its maintenance and improvement. The officers have shown peculiar adaptation for the performance of new and delicate duties which our recent war has Imposed. It cannot be doubted that congress will at once make-necessary provision for the armor plate for the vessels now under contract and building. P e n s i o n * . On the 50th of June. 1899. the pension roll of the United States numbered IW1,- 319. These include the pensioners of the army and navy roll in alt our wars. The number added 1O the rolls during the vear was 4n,mu. The 'lumber dropped by 'reason of death, remarriage, minors by legal limitation, failure to claim within three years, and other causes, was 48,186, and the number of claims disallowed waa 107.- «19. During the year fttf.OM pension certificates were Issued, of which 37,077 were for new or original pensions. The amount disbursed for army and navy pensions during the year was $1.:48.355.052.1)5 which was $1.051.461.(11 less than the sum of the appropriations. T h e r e h a n i . In accordance with the act of congress approved March 3. 18P3, the preliminary work +n oontwetton with the twelfth cerfi ' sus in now fully uudrr wav. 11 is believed t h a t the twelfth cenmis will empnasize our remarkable advance in all that pertains to national progress. The Philippine W»r. Th«> President treats at great length the Philippine war, covering all the efforts to avert war. etc. Oontlnuine. he says: It Is enough to say the claim of the rebel leader that he was promised independence by any officer of thp United States in return for his assistance, has no foundation in fact nnd is categorically denied by the very witnesses who were called to prove it. The most the insurgent leader hoped for when ho came back to Muni a WPS the liberation of the Islands from tne Spanish control, which they had been laboring for years without success to throw off The prompt accomplishment of this work by the American armv and navy gave htm other ideas and ambitions, and insidious suggestions from various quarters perverted the purposes nnd intentions with which he had taken up arms. No sooner had our army captured Manila than the Filipino forces began to assume an attitude of suspicion itnd hostility which the utmost efforts of our officers and troops w r c unable to disarm or modify. Their kindness and forbearance were taken as a proof of cowardice. The aggression of the Filipinos continually increased until finally, .lust before the time set by tb,o s'-nate ot the Uuited States for a vote on 1he treaty, an attack evidently prepared in advance, was made all along ihe American lines. whi;:h resulted in a terribly destructive and. sanguinary repulse of the insurgents. Ten.dayt* later an order of the insurgent government wirs-irsucd to Hs adherents who had remained in Manila, of. which Gen.

Su!u I H I U I U I S . The authorities of the Sulu islands hava accepted the succession of 'the United Stutes to the rights of Spain, and our flag flouts over that territory. On the 10th nr August, ISM, iirig.-Oen. J. C. Pates. U. ,S. Volunteers, negotiated an agreement with the sultan and his principal chiefs. Uy article 1 tho KOV*.-. eignty of the-United States over the whole archipelago of Jolo and its dependencies is declared and acknowledged. Every tjdng indicates that, with tho speedy suppression of the Tarralo rebellion, life in the archipeiago wlil noon resume its ordinary course under the protection of our sovereignty, and the people of tht si" favored islands will enjoy a prosperity and a freedom which they have never before known. Already hundreds of schools are *»p«n. , .,. F u t u r e G o v e r n m e n t . The future .iroverciucut of J,h* Philippines rests with the congress of the, United Plates, Few graver responsibilities have ever been eonlided to it?, If we ac-' cept them in a spirit worthy of irur r a e s and' our traditions, . a great opportunity comes with them. The islands lie under the shelter of our flag. They are ours by every title of law and equity. They cannot h i abandoned. If we desert t+ie«i we leave thtm at once to anarchy and finally to barfj^riBm, We fling them, u gulden apple of discord, among the rival'powers, no one of which could permit another to seize them unquestioned. Their* rich, plains and valley* Kvould be Ihe scene of! endless atrlft aad blowiahed. The advent of Dewfcy's^eeT in Mai Una bay Instead ot being, as we hole, the d*.wr» of a new day of freedom and progrtW, will have been the beginning of a n . e r a of misery* and violence worse than any which has darkened their UhbappV past. It does not seera desirable that I ahould recommend a t this time a special arrd final form of government for these islands. When peace shall be restored it will be the duty of congress to construct a plan of government which shall establish and maintain freedom und order and peace iu the Philippines. L c K l s l a l l u n f o r H a w a i i . The people of these Islands are entitled to the benefits and privileges .of our constitution, but in the absence of any act of congress providing for fedoral courts in the islands, and for a procedure by which appeals, writs of error and other judicial proceedings necessary for the enforcement of civil rights may be prosecuted, they are powerless to secure their enforcement by the judgment of the courts of tho United States. It is manifestly important, therefore, that an act shall ba passed as speedily as possible erecting these Islands into a judicial district, providing for the appointment of a |udg3 and other proper officers and methods of procedure in appellate proceedings, and t h a t the government of this newly acquired territory under the federal constitution, shall be fully defined and provided for. G o v e r n m e n t f o r Porjfo K i e o . I recommend t h a t legislation to tha same end be had with reference to the government of Porto Rico. The time Is ripe for the adoption of a temporary form of government for this island; and many suggestions made with reference to Alaska are applicable also to Porto HJco. The system of civil jurisprudence now adopte d rP^j 1 , ^ 1 ^ 1 ^ °e ***** islWKl ie described by competent lawyers, who are familiar with it, as thoroughly modern and scientific FO far as ,4t rebates to matters of internaLiQgw>LUu*lnes6.. trad*, production and\»ocJai and private right in general. The cities of the island are governed under c h a r t e r s which probably require very ikjJe -or, oo ^changi. So t h a t with relation to matters of local concern and private right, it is not prehable -that mucn if any legislation is" aetrinVbie; but with reference to public administration and the relations of the island to the federal government, there ure many matters which are of pressing urgency. The same necessity exists for legislation on the part of congress to establish federal courts and federal jurisdiction In the island, aa has been previously pointed out by me with reference to Hnwati. It is desirable that the government of the Island under the law of J&elligerent right, now maintained through the executive department, should be superseded by an administration entirely eivil in its nature. For the present purposes 1 recommend that congress pass a law for the organization of a temporary government, which sh.all provide lor the appointment by the president, subject to confirmation by the senate., of a governor and such other officers a s the general administration of the island may require, and t h a t for legislative purposes upon subjects of a local nature not partaking of a federal character, a legislative council, composed partly of Porto Rlcans arrd partly of clti- ' zens of the/United States, shall be nominated and appelated by the president, subject to confirmation by the senate: their* »cts t o - b e euhject 4» ti»e approval of *he eongreas or the president prior to going ^1»to effect.

"Arthur St. John—alia3 Leslie— something else, no doubt, nowadays. He looked like a man of fifty. But I knew him; I knew him almost. In a 'Moment." "You couldn't ha sure," I said doubtfully. Meg smiled, but did not contradict me. But the smile was eloquent—it destfieed my folly. "I had gone down stairs early," Meg continued, leaning back in her chair, ?.nd pushing her hair from her brow with a nervous impatient little gesture. "It's not my way to get up early, is it? But I was restless, I couldn't sleep, and \ thought I should find a novel if I •vent down stairs. The servants weren't moving; but there was a fire In the study. The blinds were all down, but the lire looked <*osy; I went In and stood before it and warmed my toes. I dare say I was looking untidy, Kitty; I think he took me for an early housemaid; he came into the room quietly, and came up behind me, and—and he kissed me, Kitty. I hadn't heard any one come in, and I nearly screamed. But as I turned my head round quickly I saw his eyes, and I knew him, and I didn't scream—I was too frightened to move or make a sound " "Go on, Meg." "Then all at once John called to him from the passage. He called in a very quiet, mysterious sort of vevee—impatient, too. " 'St. John,* he said, 'your sister is waiting. Come.' "He opened the street door quietly and led some one in. They didn't come back to the study as I feared they would; they seemed to be detting out on some journey, and time seemed to be pressing. They stood for a minute speaking softly and quickly in the hall. Do you know, Kitty, whose voice I heard? It w"as a voice not to be mistaken— Madame Arnaud's voice. She was thanking John. She said such an I looked through the chinks of the Venetians and saw her go out. She had puffs of gray hair beneath her bonnet; her gown was bunched out at the sides; she looked sixty—quite. What does it all mean, Kitty? What is the mystery?" "I cannot tell you, Meg." "But you know? Kitty, you are trembling; what is the matter with you?" "Nothing, Meg—nothing!" I returned hastily. "I wa3 thinking—trying to think." But, try as I might, my thoughts refused to 3hape themselves. One idea, and only one, had taken possession of my mind. John had had business matters to talk of with Madame Arnaud! It was business that had taken him there so often—business that they talked about in such lowered, confidential voices! My spirits had suddenly grown buoyant, my voice almost gay. "Meg, stay here for a little while," I pleaded eagerly. "I want to see John all alone." "An uncommon wish!" laughed Meg; but the soft little glance with which she looked back at me robbed tn'e mocking speech of all its sting. CHAPTER XVI. . John was in the breakfast-room. He was seated in an arm-chair beside the fire, his elbow on the table that stood near, his head against his hand. I was standing close to him before he saw me. "John," I said in a quick voice that I tried in vain to steady, "don't let me go away from you! I don't want to go, John!" H.«» sprang quickly tG ^ 3 feet, his face lighting up. "Did I want you to r.o, Kitty?" he asked reproachfully. " i'our wish to leave me has been the bitterest trouble I have ever had to bear. I needn't tell you that. ne**i I? You know it only too well!" 'I DON'T WANT TO GO, JOHN." odd thing, Kitty; I stored it up to tell you—that was what I came to say. You have always been jealous of Madame Arnaud—and I used to think you had reason to be jealous; but now— well, now, I am not sure." '* "What was It that she said?" "She was thanking John for having given her so much of his precious time. " 'We know,' she said, 'that every m'nute spent away from Kitty is a minute you begrudge. You have besn very good; you have never let me feel how my affairs have bored" you.' " 'They have not bored me,' said John; 'we made a compact of friendship long ago; and what is the use of friends if they are not retdy to serve in time of need ?' " "John is a paragon to the end! How has he been serving Madame Arnaud, Kitty? What are her 'ataira' that have been 'boring' him and taking up hit time?" - "I don't know. I don't want to tell you, Meg—not now." "You are a little contradictory, dear; but never mind, mystery is the order of the da/. Do you know that Madame Arnaud came and went away in a dress and bonnet and mantle that madt t/ur lotfk c.ulte an old lady, an old lady of He had taken my hands in his, but I would not let him draw me near him. "I have been jealous, John," I said, bringing out the words in a sharp. labored way. "I have been jealous of Madame Arnaud!" "Jealous, Kitty! Have you cared enough for me to be jealous, dear?" he asked, sadly. "You have had no need to be jealous—none! Yet it i& good news to me, all the same." "It wasn't your love for hor, John, that I minded." I went on tremulously, the tears springing unbidden to my eyes. Perhaps—perhaps I did mind that, too; but that wasn't what I minded most You had loved her first and you couldn't help if you loved her best. You hadn't seen her for so long; you didn't know how it would be when you came to see her again—you couldn't help it! And I should have tried to bear it! What I couldn't bear was your always going to see her, your having so much to say to her secretly, so confidentially " "Do you know," asked John gravely, what those talks were about? Listen, Kitty, and I will tell you." "I know already. .You were helping the man about whom you told me yesterday— her brother—yes, I know. J o h a . ^ I went on eagerly, "you will let me stay? I said I wanted- to go, cut I didn't; it would break my heart to go! I'll be content, John; I'll be different and not tease you—I won't ask you to love me very much. I'll let my love be enough for both. And by-and-by, as you said, 'love may come.' You did love me—you said so—before you married me, and the love may come back again " John drew me toward him. He put his arm around me, and looked down at me closely, very tenderly, very wonderingly. "Kitty, you talk in riddles, dear," he said. "You won't ask me to love you very much? What does that mean? You know, dearest—you must k n o w - that, whether you ask or do not ask, I love you with my heart and soul." I looked up at him in bewilderment. "You said—you said that our marriage was a mistake, John," "It was you, KiUy, who said that." "But I said so because I thought that you thought so, John. And you agreed with me. Oh, John, you have forgotten you did agree with me! You said that you felt the mistake and regretted it even more bitterly than I." "For your sake, Kitty, for your sake, dear; because my love had failed so signally to make you happy. You told me that I had spoilt your life, broken your heart; that, when you had a wish, it was only a wish to die." "I didn't wish to make your life a bondage, John." John's eyes twinkled for a moment, and then were grave again. "Do you mean to tell me, Kitty," he a3ked incredulously, "that you doubted that I loved you?" "Do you mean that you could possibly doubt, John, that I loved you?" I retorted in the same tone of incredulity. "It was natural enough for me to doubt," said John humbly. "Much more natural for me," I returned, looking up at him with sparkling eyes. I had clasped my hands upon his shoulder; I put down my cheek against them. "I thought," I confessed, "that you had married me for kindness' sake— to—to provide for me, John. .Everyone thought so. Meg and Dora and Aunt Jane and even your sister. You yourself said that you thought of marrying me before ycu thought cf loving me." "Yes," admitted John; "years ago, I had some vague hope that you would give me the right one day to take care of ycu, to make life smoother for you. I suppose I didn't love you as long ago as that—I had only a very tender feeling for you. Love, when it came, was real enough in spite of that early thought. Don't scorn my love, Kitty, because I met it with welcome instead cf rebuff." There was not much scorn in my eyes as I raised my head and looked softly, smilingly into the gray eyes looking down at me. He kissed ms; and r^v a minute we stood in silence. "Kilty," he said at length, '^here is something that I want to tell you. I ought to have told you long ago. It was a painful story, and I did not tell rt. Come and sit down, and I will teh it now." He drew me to the little sofa beside the fire; and there he told me the story cf his first love, the story that in part I knew already. "She gave you up because you were poor?" I asked indignantly. "Don't blame her, Kitty! She gave me up for her brother's sake. It is more than ten years ago now that her brother forged that check of which I told ycu—that first check. There seemed to be nothing but utter ruin before him. Arnaud, the man that Lucia married, had money and influence. He used both on the tacit understanding that ehe should marry him. Her brother was saved for the time." "Was it the only vray?" I questioned. "I think some other way might have been found. But she could not be calm and weigh chances. She was devoted to this broiuer. For ten long years, as she said the other night in the park, she has hoped against hope for his reformation; has tried to be brave, has tried to hope for the best. And now, at the end of the ten years, things are just where they were before, I think they are worse this time, for this time he is less repentant. She is sacrificing her whole life to him; but she does it almost without hope. She la going away with him—to South America, to banishment." I was quiet for a moment. "John, I have been so unjust to her," I confessed in a low tone—"so unjust to her always in my thoughts." "She is one of the noblest women that I know!" said John. Again we sat silent for a minute. My heart was beating fast; I longed to ask a question which I dared not ask. "John, I won't be silly, I won't be jealous—tell me," I pleaded, "if you didn't try to love me, would you love her still—love her best, I mean?" John answered gravely, with an atr as earnest as mine. "I respect her," he said; "I shall respect her always. I do more than respect—I admire her. But that is all! The old love was dead, Kitty, years bafore the new love was born!" I was contented.—The End.

As the question was about to be put, there arose from one corner of the room a miserable female, wrinkled and gaunt, and, stretching out her arms, in a shrill voice she cried: "Look upon me. You all know me, or you once did. You all know I was once the mistress of the best farm in the township. You all know I had one of the best—one of the most devoted of husbands. You all know I had five noble-hearted industrious boys. Where are they now? You all know. You all know they all lie in a row, side by sid^, in yonder churchyard; all— every one—filling a drunkard's grave! They were all taught to believe that temperate drill kin*, was safe—excess alone ought to b e avoided; und they . never acknowledged excess. But I saw the gradual change coming over my family and prospects with dismav a r d horror; I felt we were all to be overwhelmed in one common ruin. I tried to ward off the blow I tried to break the spell—the delusive spell— in,which the benefits of, temperate drinking had involved my husband and sons. I begged, I prayed; but the odds were against me." And, with her arms flung high, and her tall form stretched to its utmost, and her voice raised to an unearthly pitch, she exclaimed: "I shall soon stand before the judgement seat of God —I shall meet you there, you false guides, and be a witness against you all." She spoke and vanished. But when the chairman put the question, "Shall any license be granted for the sale of spiritous liquors?" the response was unanimous— "No!" m i l l i o n * G i v e n ' A w a y It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

In August 1897 my husband, Mr . Ourlin and my brother Buiiey Smith l«ft San Francisco for Dawson c i t y intending to go by boat the entire distance. T h e boat called the North F o r k — o n ..which they took passage was very h e a v i l y loaded besides taking in tow a smaller boat called the Mare Island to carry the passengers up the Y u k o n . T h e boat made very slow progress and by the time they reached St. M i c h a e l s Island the season was so far advanced they could proceed no further as ice was already forming on the Y u k o n . S o m e of the passengers—Mr. Carlin included— returned to the states to spend the winter and go in over the Pass in the spring, while others remained on the boat in the canal, and it is of their life from then until the preseut time that is described in these letters. 4 cans best Tomatoes 1 can Plums to close 1 can Stringed Beans to close 1 gallon good Syrup 1 gallon 30c Molasses 1 gallon 40c Molasses .25 .02 .02 .20 •28 moon is a surprise.

Healey (here in winter quarters) we manage'very well to wear away £hq time. Three- a£ us sunk a shaft here on the low ground to see the nature of the soil and if possible to find something, but the hope of finding gold was not very strong. We went down 50 ft. 40 ft. was"frozen. The next ten soft with no frost after 45. We exploded the theory that one could not get through frost in Alaska. The fifty feet was through muck with uo change. We found plenty of shells, layers of ice, and evidence of made ground from overflows. At 50 ft. we got through muck into a fine black sand, and were hopeful some of reaching gravel possibly, but low! the next morning we had ten feet of water. We took out the water but could make no headway so had to abandon our hopes and hard work of over a month. We did not regret the work as it put us in fine trim, giving us good appetites, good muscle and in fine spirits. This climate is healthy— I never felt better. Have not had even a cold—which was quiet common in the rainy seasons of Washington. We are a mile from the sea, and it is a sight to go out there and walk over the ice. I t is piled and gorged on the shore in places higher than our boat and for two or three miles out you can see great hills of ice which was piled up by the action of the tide while freezing. I t will be a grand sight in the spring to see it ^o out. I would like to be at the mouth of the Yukon river and see the ice come down and pile on the bar and sand spits. Two parties started out from the boat to prospect in the foot hills near by. Dec. 13th 1897. Now I will write you of our winter life. After we were settled we went to work stacking up wood to keep us warm during the winter. We were not able to get to Stewart island, a distance of twelve miles, where we were goifig to put up wood. The ice and cold weather prevented our getting over. We have now about four hours sun. from a little after ten until about two-thirty, about 18 hours darkness G hours light. The sun does not get high enough to 1** make a respectable sun rise. The than all the states east of the Mississippi, and but little prospected away froxu the Yukon. . An Indian carrier came down from Dawson 'las^w^ee^ (1300 mil4s) with » dog team,sent down to report the rival of three boats of ihe No£th American T r a d i n g Co. at Dawson with 600 tons of provisions. 1-1 his meaus there is no starvation at Dawson. News came ^ • w n t h a t mine owners were pay- ^ 0 ) ^ ^ 5 , 0 0 per day for men who h&d a grub stake to work in the mipes. See what we are missing. If (we had reached Dawson with our provisions every mau, no doubt, could have had work as kthey all have a year's supply of provisions. This long winter at those wages nifcaus we could make $5,000 by May. Well we are far from them. But the news is good; it shows the riches of the mines and means that Dawson will be a great place next year.

Young is still in pursuit and hopes to find the i n s u r g e n t leader in Benguet mountain pass and capture him there. d e n . Young's command was met by a brass band at t h e outskirts of Santa Cruz and h e and his officers were escorted to houses where rest and refreshments were tendered them. After a week's absence in the interior of Luzon. IJen. Young has been heard from, lie reports having arrived at Vigan on the evening of t h e 5th, after an engagement with the enemy at Narbucan. whom he drove to t h e eastward into San ljuentiu Canyau with a loss of one killed and 1>' wounded. The enemy left -5 dead in the trenches, besides a few rifles, several thousand rounds of small ammunition and 40 shrapnel. His troops are now engaged in pressing t h e enemy back. j - I t i s learned t h a t the Filipinos deserted an almost impregnable position at Tagudin 3G hours previous to (Jen. Young's arrival. There were 000 rebels strongly intrenched under command of Gen. Tino, which could have slaughtered a whole brigade while they, were crossing the river. In fact 100 well-deciplincd troops could have withstood a very strong a t t a c k without serious loss. Gen. Gregorio Del Pilar, commandi n g Aguinaldo's bodyguard, -was killed by Maj. Peyton C. March's battalion of t h e 33d infantry, in a fight 18 miles n o r t h w e s t of Cervantes, Dec. 3. In addition to this death 70 other Filipinos were also killed or badl}' wounded. T h e American loss was one killed and six wounded. Maj. March is still in pursuit of the enemy. It is reported that the Filipino commander, Gen. Alejandrino, with his staff, h a s surrendered to tlen. Mac Art h u r , and there is also a rumor that Alejandrino is at Aguilar suffering from a wound received'in a light between insurgents arid bandits and that he will be given an opportunity to surrender and will be properly cared for. A force of insurgents estimated at 800, attacked the" American garrison of 200 at Vigan. province of South I locos. T h e American loss was eight killed and many wounded. After very hard fighting t h e Filipinos were driven off and through the mountains, leaviug 3a dead. Col. Bisbee reinforced the garrison. Eighteen hundred soldiers have been ordered to return home from Cuba. This will leave only 8,000 soldiers on the island and this number will be reduced from time to time. The ordering home of the troops is a preliminary step towards establishing a civil government. Orders have been issued for the remaining four companies of the 41)th infantry, now at the Presidio, San Francisco, to embark on the transport Sherman, which sailed for the Philippines on the 0th. ^.

Crop Report. THe Deeember^vrop repojrt issued from the office of the\secr»jtary of state on the 8th does not Wacribo t h e condition of wheat as very flattering. The report says: The condition of wheat, as compared with an average, is 80 in the state, 74 in the southern counties, 87 in the central counties, and 06 in the n o r t h e r n counties. A large majority of the correspondents report wheat as being badly damaged by the liy; a few report the condition good. Late sown wheat, in juauy instances, is as badly infested as t h a t sowed early, which is probably due to the warm, dry w e a t h e r of November. Some iields aiv Inung plowed up for other crops; other iields are being pastured by sheep. Taken as a whole, the crop is seriously damaged, with little prospect for its recovery, eventually. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers in November at the flouring mills is .)02,347, and at the elevators 10(5,307, or a total of ()tiS,0;>0 bushels. Of this whole amount 538,170 bushels were marketed in the southern four ties of counties, «»5,874 in the central counties and 34,012 bushels in the northern counties. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed in the four months, August-November. is 2,081,403, which is 4,840,103 bushels less than reported marketed in the same m o n t h s last year. At 48 mills and elevators from which reports have been received there was no wheat mark e t e d™ November. The total amount of wheat shipped by railroads from t h e various stations, as' reported for October, is 171.014 bushels. The condition of live stock throughout the state is good. In some counties considerable stock is beVng- fed for market, while in other sections very little is being fattened on account of the price of hay. The condition of horses, cattle and sheep, in the state, is 00, and of swine 07. In most parts of the state fall pasture has been good. While it has been too dry in some parts of the state for pasture to grow, the condition for the state being 87, yet in the main all kinds of stock have done fairly well.

During his incarceration he had refused to eat anything, and this together with the occasional sweet box questioning caused him to weaken and he admitted all. The only reason for committing the awful deed was for the w a n t of money, according to the boy's own statement. After t h e confession a detective found 827.0(5 stowed away in a box in the barn at the Hamberger residence where the boy said he had hid it. Hamberger will be granted a hearing on the 15th.

The use or track tanks by which locomotives of high speed passenger trains may take water without t o p - ping is almost universal on the larger Eastern reads, Where fast expresses are the rule. The B. & O. R. R. haa a number between Washington and Philadelphia and Intends to equip the entire Main Line in the future. This decision was recently arrived at through the us3 of passenger locomotives, equipped with water scoops, on fast freight trains. It was found that much time was saved, danger from stopping, being reduced to a minimum and cost of running lessened. The extra stops for water take much time and the wear and tear *on equipment is no small matter. If the experiment on this part of the road proves successful, track tanks will be installed on every division between Baltimore and Chicago. As a starter, the 50 new Vauclain compound engines recently ordered will be fitted with water scoops. READ WHAT A VOX « 0 D A T S TOO G A S T * t XX T O S l b UfeWXS.

T o the Senate and the H o m e of Repre- ficntatlvcs:—At the threshold of your de- Iberations you a r e called to mourn with •jrour countrymen the death of Vice-Presid e n t Ho bare, who passed from this life on t h e morning of November 21 last. His x r e a t soul now rests in eternal peace. H i s private lifo was pure and elevated, While hla public career was ever distin- fruished by large- capacity, stainless inegrlty and exalted motives. He has been removed from the high office which he honored and dignified, but his lofty character, his devotion to duty, his honesty of purpose and noble virtues remain with tta as a priceless legacy and example. T h e Fifty-sixth Congress convenes in its first regular session with the country in a condition of unusual prosperity, or universal good will among the people at Home, and In relutlons of peace and friendship with every government of the World. Our foreign commerce has shown « r e a t Increase in volume and value. The combined Imports and exports for the y e a r arc the largest ever shown by a •Ingle year in all our history. Our exp o r t s for 1899 alone exceeded by more t h a n a billion dollars our Imports and exp o r t s combined in 1S70. The imports per t.capita are a) per cent less tr.au in ltf'U, howlng the enlarged capacity of the Unied States to satisfy the wants of Its own Increasing population, a s well as to cont r i b u t e l\j luus,* ol the people of other nations. . Exports of agricultural products were •784'<7ili*i. Of manufactured products we fxnorted in value $"39,592.11«. being larger t h a n any previous year. It is a notew o r t h y tact that the only years in all our nlstory when the products of our manufactories sold abroad exceeded those 'bought abroad were ls98 and 1899. O u r F i n a n c e s . Government receipts from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1S99. Including $11,796,314.14, part payment of the Central Pacific railroad indebtedness, ag- C e g a t e d $610,982,004.55. Customs receipts w e r e 1206,128,481.75 and those from internal revenue $»3,437,161.51. F o r the fiscal year the expenditures w e r e J700.oaj.GC4.02. leaving a deficit of ¢89,111,539.67. The secretory of the treasurer estimates t h a t the receipts for the current fiscal y e a r will aggregate $o40,9i>8,112. and upon t h e basis of present appropriations the expenditures will aggregate 5600.958,112. Seaving a surplus of $40,000,000. For the fiscal year ended J u n e 30. 1890. t h a Internal revenue receipts were inc r e a s e d about $100,000,OCO. The present gratifying strength of the t r e a s u r y is shown by the fact that on Dec. 1, 1X99, the available cash balance w a s $278,004,837.72. of which $239,744.905.36 was. in gold coin and bullion. The condit i o n s of confidence which prevail 'througho u t the c o r n t r y have brought g*td into tnore general use and customs receipts a r e now almost entirely paid in that coin. The strong position of the t'/easury with respect to cash on hand and the favorab.e ehowing made by the revenues have made Jt possible for the secretary of the treasu r y to take action under the provisions of section 3G94. revised statutes, relating to t h e sinking fund. Receipts exceeded expenditures for the first live months of the c u r r e n t fiscal year by $13,U3.3S9.91, and, as inentioned abeve, the secretary of the t r e a s u r y estimates t h a t there will bo a • u r p l u s of approximately $41>.000,OCO at the tend of the >oar. Under such conditions it 4va*i deenu_*d advisable and proper to re- • s m e compliance with the provisions of t h e sinking fund law, which 'for eight Vears ha.s not been done because of deficiencies in the revenues. The treasury department, therefore, offered to purchase during November, $23,000,000 of the C per cent loan of 1904, or the 4 per cent funded loan of 19i/7. at the current market price. The amount offered and purchased during November was 51Si.40S.G00. The p r e m i u m paid by the government on such purchases was $2.2€3,&21 and the net saving In Interest was about f2.885.000. The success of this operation was sufficient to ind u c e the government to continue the offer to purchase bonds to and including th? -Sid day of December, instant, unless the r e m a i n d e r of the $25,000,000 called for erhould be presented in the meantime for redemption. Increased activity In industry', with its welcome attendant—a larger employment -for labor a t higher wages—gives to the t>ody of the people a larger power to abs o r b the circulating medium. It is further t r u e t h a t year by year, with larger areas of land under cultivation, the increasing Volume of agricultural products, cotton. c o r n and wheat, calls for a larger volume • f money supply, This is especially not i c e a b l e a t the crop harvestlus and crop- •asovlng period. . E « s k t sued B a n k l n f f . r I n its earlier history the national act -seemed to prove a reasonable avenue t h r o u g h which needful additions to the circulation could from time to time be m a d e . Changing conditions have appare n t l y rendered it now Inoperative to that and. T h e high margin in bond securit i e s required, resulting from, large premiu m s which government bonds command In the market, or the t a x on note issues, o r both operating together, appear to be Influence* which Impair its public utility. T t r e a t t e n t i o n of -eon***** Is -r-eapedf nil jr - invited to this important matter w i t h the view of ascertaining whether or n o t such reasonable modifications can oe m a d e In t h e national banking act as will render its service In the particulars here referred to m o r e responsive to the peo- Ele's needs. I again urge t h a t national a u k s be authorized to organize with a c a p i t a l of $25,008. , T h e G o l d S t a n d a r d . I urgently recommend that to support the existing gold standard, and to maintain •*the parity in value of the coins of the t w o metals (gold and silver) and the e q u a l power of every dollar at all times i n the m a r k e t and in the payment o' d e b t s , " the secretary of the treasury be given additional power and charged with t h e duty to j»cll United States bonds and t o employ such other effective means as m a y be necessary to these ends. The a u t h o r i t y should include the power to sell bonds on long and short time, as condit i o n s may require, and should provide for * rate or interest lower than that fixed •by t h e act of J a n u a r y 14. W75. While t h e r e Is now no commercial fright which w i t h d r a w s goLd from the government. but, on the contrary, such widespread confidence t h a t gold Beeks the treasury d e m a n d i n g paper money in exchange, yet t h e very situation points to the present A S the most fitting time to make adequate provision to insure the continuance of t h e gold standar d and of public confidence i n the ability and purport of the governm e n t to meet ail its obligations in the money which the civilized world recognizes a s the lH*(-t. Our receipts now equal our expenditures'.; deficient iHVonues no longer create alarm. I^et us remove the t>nly remaining runt-••• b y conferring the full and n-.vt:•:;;!ry p o w e r on t h e Ntrcretary of the treasury And Impost* upon him the duly to uphold t h e present gold standard and preserve 4 h e coins of the two metals on u parity w i t h each other, which is the repeatedly •d«cl«*ed potter of the United Ktates. i p tola connection I repent my former r e o o m m e n d a t i o n s t h a t a portion of the - * > ^ U t t n c s abali be plac*A !c a trust funrt. from waii h greenbacks shall be redeemed upon pretermit.on. but whan once redeemed shall not thereafter bo paid out except for gold.

The value, if an American merchant marine to the extension of our commercial trade and the strengthening of our power upon the sea invites th« immediate action of consK----,. u u r national development will be one-sided and unsatisfactory so long as the remarkable growth of oui* inland industries remains unaccompanied by progress on the seas. There Is no lack of ccnstiuti! )'\'U authority for legislation which shall give to the country maritime strength commensurate with its Industrial achievements ar.d with its rank among the nations.of the earth. The other great nations have not hesitated to adopt the required means to davelop their shipping as a factor in national defense and as one of the surest and speediest means of obtaining for their producers a share, in foreign markets. Like vigilance and effort on our part cannot fail to improve our situation; wh!ch is regarded with humiliation at home and with surprise abroad. Even the seeming sacrifices which at the beginning may be involved will be offset by more than equivalent gains. The expense is as nothing compared to the a d v a n t a g e to be achieved. I n v e n t ' g a t e T r u s t s . Combinations of capital organized into trusts to control the conditions of trade among our citizens, to siltle competition, limit production and determine the prices of products used and consumed by tile people, are justly' provoking public discussion, and should early claim the attention of the congress. It is universally conceded that combinations which engross or control the market of any particular kind ot merchandise or commodity net essary to the general community, by suppressing natural and ordinary competition, whereby prices are unduly enhanced to the general consumer, arc obnoxious not only to the common law, but also t i tiie public welfare. There must be a remedy for the evils involved in such or^aniz itlons. If the present law can be extended more certainly to control or check these monopolies or trusts, it should he done without delay. Whatever rower tke congress possesses over thN most important subject should be promptly ascertained and asserted. The whole question is ro important and far-reaching that I am sure no part of it will be lightly considered, but every phase of It wll lhave the studied deliberation of ' h e congress, resulting in wise and judicious action. f o r e i g n R e l a t i o n * . , A review of our relations with foreign states is presented with such recommendations as are deemed appropriate. The boundary dispute with the Argentine Republic has been settled and a convention of extradition only awaits slight changes in the text before exchange. It is gratifying to be able to announce that ihe Belgian government has mitigated the restrictions on the importation of cattle from the United States, to which I referred in my last annual message. A convention of extradition with Tlrazil. signed May H. 1S.7. lias been- ratilled by the Urlzllian k*j.'ls',ature. During the past summer- two national -.-hips of the United States have visited Hrazilian ports on a friendly mission and been cordially re- Cvdved. ' . The claim growing out of the seizure of the American owned newspaper, the Panama Star and Herald, by the authorities of Colombia. 1 as been settled, after a controversy of i-wpta! years, by an agreement assess:';!.: at VM.IMI the indemniw to be paid by : he .Colombian government, in three installments of Jli.iVfl each. The go.)d will of Colombia toward our country has been tes'iiieil anew by the cordial extension of facilities to the Nieara^ uan can,:1 commission in their approaching in\ CM Ration of tne Panama canal and other pr'.i-cted routes across the isthmus of Darlen. Discussion of the question? raised by the action nf Derrrnark In imposing restrictions on the Importations of American meats has continued without substantial results in our favor. IxtbiiiiiM C a n a l . The Nicaragua canal commission which has been engaged upon—Ihe work of examination and survey for a ship canal route across Nicaragua, having completed its labors and made its report, was dissolved on .May SI, and on June 10 a new commission, known as the Isthmian canal commission, was organized under the terms of the act approved March 3. 1890, for the purpose of examining, the American Isthmus with a view to determining the most practicable and feasible route for a ship canal across the isthmus, with its probuble cost, and other essential details. The great importance of this work cannot be too often or too strongly pressed upon the attention of the congress. In my message of a year ago I expressed my views of the necessity of a canal which would link the two great oceans, to which I again invite your consideration. The reasons then presented for early action are even stronger now. T h e P a r i s I m p o s i t i o n . Preparations for the representation of the industries, a r t s and products, nf the United States at the world's exposition to be held in PaTis next year continue on an elaborate and comprehensive scale, ' h a n k s to the generous appropriation provided by congress ar.d to "the friendly Interest the French government has shown in furthering a typical exhibit of American progress. There has been allotted to the United States a considerable addition e-f space, which, while placing our country in the first rank p.mong exhibitors, does not suffice to meet the increasingly urgent demands of our manufacturers. The efforts of the commissioner-general are ably directed toward a strictly representative display of all that moat characteristically marks American achievement in the inveTrttve a r t s , and most adequately shows the excellence of our natural productions. I am informed by our commissionergenera! that we shall have in the American sections at Paris over 7,000 exhibitors, from every s t a t e In-ottr country, .a number ten times as great as those whicn were represented at Vienna in 1S73. six times as many as those in Paris in 1878. and four times as many as those who exhibited in Paris in 18S9. This statement does not include the exhibits from either Cuba. Porto Rico or Hawaii, for which arrangements have been made. R e l a t i o n s W i t h G e r m a n y . Our relations with Clcrmany continue to be most cordial. The increasing intimacy cf direct association has been marked during the year by the granting permission ir. April for the landing on our shores of a cable from Borkum Emden, on the North sea, by way of the Azore:-, and also by the conclusion on Sept. 22 of a parcels post convention with the German empire. In all that promises closer relations of intercourse and commerce and a better understanding between two races having so many traits In common. Germany can be assured of the most cordial co-operation of this government and people- We may be rivals In rrany mi'Uiial paths, but our riva'ry should be generous and open, ever aiming toward the attainment of larger • results and the mutually beneficial advancement of er ch in the line of its especial adaptabilities. The several governments of the empire ser-m reluctant to admit the natural excellence of our food productions and to H'Tent the evidence We constantly tender of the <are with which their purity is unaided by rigid inspection from the fane, through the slaughterhouse and-the packing estaUlshmr nts. to the port of shlprr.i :-.t. c u r system of control over r::p>r?ed food staples- invites examination fr< m any quarter ,---^ challenges re- , spool by iti efT'H'^-t thoroughness. It !« to be hoped that in time the two governments will act hi common accord to award the real petition of their common- purpiso to safeguard the publia health nnd to insures the P'.ljltx^fiCuX wholeFoAieneas of "all food products imported by either country from the other. O u r ( a n u i l i u u N e i g h b o r s . In my last annual message I referred to the pending negotiations with Great Britain in respoct to the Domlnlpn. pf CaoiUr da, By means 6t aa exeoiuive agreement !i Joint high cnyimiHgton has been creased' for" the purpose of adjusting t&\ unsettled questions between the United States and Cajiada, embracing twelve subjects, amonir which were th«a questions of the. fur seals, the fisheries of the coast and i contiguous Inland waters, the Alaskan boundary, the transit of merchandise in bond, and alien labor laws, mining rights, reciprocity In trade, revision of the agreement respecting naval vessels in the great lakes, more complete marking of parts of the boundary, provision for the conveyance of criminals, and for wrecking and salvage. The m a t t e r of tire boundary has been receiving the careful attention which its importance demands with the result that n modus vivendl for provisional demarcations in the region about the head of Lynn canal has been agreed upon; and It is hoped that the negotiations now in progress between the two governments will end in an agreement for the establishment and delimlnation of a permanent boundary. Apart from these questions growing out of our relationship with uur northern neighbor, the most friendly disposition and ready agreement have marked the discussion of numerous matters arising in th° vast and Intimate Intercourse of the United States with Great Britain. U o e r "War. TI1I3 government has maintained an attitude of neutrality in the unfortunate contest between Great T-intain and the Boer states of Africa. We have remained faithful to the precept of avoiding entangling alliances as to affairs not of our direct concern. Had < sicu'mstances suggested t h a t the parties to the quarrel would have welcomed any kindly expression of the hope of the American people, the war might be nverted, good ofHces would .have been gkwily tendered. The United S t a ' e s representative at Pretoria was early instructed to see that all neutruJ American interests be respected by the romhfttar.-ts. This has been an easy task In view of the nositive declaration of Both British and Boer authorities t h a t the personal " i d property rights of our citizens should be observed. A satisfactory arrangement was concluded between the governments of Germany and of England, by virtue of which England retired from Samoa in view of compensations in other sections, and both powers lenounced In favor of the United States nil their rights and claims over and in...respect to that portion of the group lying to the east of the one hundred and seventy-first degree of west longitude, embracing the islands of Tutuila. Ofoo, Olosenga and Manna. I transmit to the senate, for its constitutional action thereon, a convention, which besides the provisions above mentioned, also guarantees the same privileges and conditions in respect to commerce arid commercial vessels In a'l of the Islands of Samoa a.s those possessed by Germany. T h e S p a n i s h Y.'nr, My annua! message of last year was necessarily devoted in ureal part to a consideration of the Spanish war and of tho. resuit it wrought, and the conditions it imposed for the future. I am gratified to anru.rnce that the treaty of peace has restored friendly rc.ctions between the two powers. Effect has been Riven to its most important p; ovision.s. The evacuation of Porto Rico haviim already been accomplished en the ISth of October, 1898. nothing remained necessary there but to oon- Liniv the provisional military control of the island until the congress should enact a suitable government for the ceded terrl'.- r;-. The withdrawal of the authority of Spain from the is'and of Cuba was effected by the first of January, so that the full re-epfablishment of pence found the re- !in.'Ui.--hed territory held by. us in trust for' the inhabitants, maintaining, under the direction of the executive, such government and'" control' therein as should conserve public order, restore the productive conditions of pence, so long disturbed by the instability and disorder which prevailed for the greater part of the preceding three decades, and build up that tranquil development of the domestic state wrureby alone can be realized the hi«;h purpose, as proclaimed in the joint resolution adopted bv the congress An the isth of April. 1S'.»S. by which the United States disclaimed any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over Cuba, except for the pacification thereof, and asserted its determination when that was accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people. The pledge contained in this resolution is of ihe highest honorable obligation and must be sacredly ker , t. C a b l e t o M a n i l a . Without repeating the obserratlons of my special message of February 10. 18»*, concerning the necessity of a cable to Manila. I respectfully invite attentipn to it. I recommend that, in case the ,contrress should not take measures to brinp about this result by direct action of the government, the postmaster general be authorized to invite competitive bids for the establishment of a cable; t h e company making the best responsible bw* to be awarded the contract; the successful company to give ample bonds to Insure the completion of the work within a reasonable time. Kn«Nla's F r i e n d l i n e s s . Claims growing out of the seizure of American sealing vessels in Bering sea have been under discussion with the government of Russia for several years with the recent happy result of an agreement to submit them to the decision of a single arbitrator. By this act Russia affords proof of her adherence to the beneficent principle of arbitration which her plenipotentiaries conspicuously favored at The Hague disarmament conference when it was advocated by the representative* of the United States. S a m o a S e t t l e m e n t . Important events have occurred in the Samoan Islands. The election, according to the laws and customs of Samoa, of a successor to the late king, Malletoa I*aupepa. developed a contest as to the validity of the result, which issue, by the terms of the general act was io be decided by the chief justice. Upon his rendering a judgment in favor of Malietoa Tanu, the rival chief. Mataafa. took up arms. The active Intervention of American and British warships became imperative to restore order, at the cost of sanguinary encounters. In this emergency a joint ooiuni'.jsion of representatives of the United States, Gerrrcny and Great Britain was sent to Sarrna to investigate the situation and provide a temporary remedy. T h e S i ' w C a b a . This nation has assumed before the world a grave responsibility for the future good government of Cuba. We have accepted a trust the fulfillment of which calls for the sternest integrity of purpose and the exercise of the highest wisdom. The new Cuba yet to arise from the ashes of the past must needs be bound to us by ties of singular intimacy and strength If its enduring welfare is to be assured. Whether those ties shall be organic or conventional, th • destinies of Cuba are in some rlrhtful form and manner irrevocably linked with our own, but how and how far is for the future to determine in the ripeness of events. Whatever be the outcome we must see to it that free Cuba be a reality, not a name, a perfect entity, not a hasty experiment bearing within itself the t lem.-nts of failure. Our mission, to accomplish which we took up the wager of battle. Is not to b,- fulfilled by turning adrift any loosely framed commonwealth to face the viaKMItudes which too often a.tteml weaker state* whose natural wealth und abundant, resources are. offset b y the incongruities of their political position und the recurrln.g occasions for interna! rivalries , -to sap. their strength and dissipate their energies. The greatest blcs3lr.f which can come to,.Cuba is.ih.e restoration-ai-liftr. Agrlcul* tural arul industrial prosperity, which will give empioymtnt to idle men and reestablish tiie pursuits of peace. Thii 1ft her chief and Immediate need. On tho 19th of August last an order was made fur the taking of the cerrsus In t h i I'lfc-laml.Me heJco'MpleKfa^ on the JlOth of ^NovenJse'r. fTy tJbe tpeaty of peace tho Spanish-popiSatlok on the inland have until April 11, 1&0U, to elect whether they will remain citizen* of Spain or become citizens of Cuba. Until then it cannot be definitely ascertained who shall be entitled to participate in tho formation of the government of Cuba. By that time the results of the census will have been tabulated und we shall proceed to provide for the elections which commit the municipal governments of tho island ra tho olficcrs elected by the people. Tha experience thus acqutrd will prove of great value in tho formation of a representative convention ot the peopie to draft a constitution and establish a genreal system of independent government for the Island, In lho meantime, and so long as we exercise control over tho island, tho products of Cuba should have a market In the United States on a* good terms and with as 'avorable rates ot duty as are given to the We«t India Islands under treaties of reciprocity which shall be made. • Eor the relief of tho distressed In the island of Cuba the w i r department has issued supplies to destitute persons, through the officers of the army, which have amounted to 5,433,000 rations, at a cost of $1,417,554.07. To promote .he disarmament of the Cuban volunteer army, and '.n the interest of public peace and the welfare of the people, tho sum of $75 was paid to each Cuban soldier borne upon the authenticated rolls, on cordltion that he should deposit 1 Is arms with the authorities designated by the United States. Tho sum thus disbursed aggregated $2.547,7¾). wni'-ii was paid ft'om the emergency fund provided by the act of Jan. f», 1890, for that purpose. Out of the Cuban island revenues during the six months ending June SO, 18JJ, Sl.712.OU."JO was expended for sanitation, $233.^1.711 for charities and hospitals, and $SS,9-14.03 for aid to the destitute. R e l a t i o n * W i t h Sun i n . Following the exchange of ratifications of the treaty of peace the two governments accredited ministers to each other,, Spain sending to Washington the Duke of Arcos, an omlnent diplomatist, previously stationed in Mexico, while the Un'ted States transferred to Madrid, Hon. Bellamy Storer, i.s ambassador at Brussels. This was followed by the respective appointment of consuls, thereby fully resuming the relations Interrupted by the wa-.

Fortunately, sine* the refrfvalof paoaperous times, the leveni'es have grown roueh faster than the expenditures, and there is every indication that a short period will witness the obliteration of the -annual deficit. T h e Xnvy. The navy hag maintained the spirit and high efficiency which have always characterized that service, and has lost none of the gallantry in heroic action which has signalized its brilliant and glorious past. The nation has equal- pride In its early and later achievements. Its habitual readiness for every emergency has won the confidence and admiration of the country. The people are interested in the continued preparation and prestige of the navy and will justify liberal appropriations for its maintenance and improvement. The officers have shown peculiar adaptation for the performance of new and delicate duties which our recent war has Imposed. It cannot be doubted that congress will at once make-necessary provision for the armor plate for the vessels now under contract and building. P e n s i o n * . On the 50th of June. 1899. the pension roll of the United States numbered IW1,- 319. These include the pensioners of the army and navy roll in alt our wars. The number added 1O the rolls during the vear was 4n,mu. The 'lumber dropped by 'reason of death, remarriage, minors by legal limitation, failure to claim within three years, and other causes, was 48,186, and the number of claims disallowed waa 107.- «19. During the year fttf.OM pension certificates were Issued, of which 37,077 were for new or original pensions. The amount disbursed for army and navy pensions during the year was $1.:48.355.052.1)5 which was $1.051.461.(11 less than the sum of the appropriations. T h e r e h a n i . In accordance with the act of congress approved March 3. 18P3, the preliminary work +n oontwetton with the twelfth cerfi ' sus in now fully uudrr wav. 11 is believed t h a t the twelfth cenmis will empnasize our remarkable advance in all that pertains to national progress. The Philippine W»r. Th«> President treats at great length the Philippine war, covering all the efforts to avert war. etc. Oontlnuine. he says: It Is enough to say the claim of the rebel leader that he was promised independence by any officer of thp United States in return for his assistance, has no foundation in fact nnd is categorically denied by the very witnesses who were called to prove it. The most the insurgent leader hoped for when ho came back to Muni a WPS the liberation of the Islands from tne Spanish control, which they had been laboring for years without success to throw off The prompt accomplishment of this work by the American armv and navy gave htm other ideas and ambitions, and insidious suggestions from various quarters perverted the purposes nnd intentions with which he had taken up arms. No sooner had our army captured Manila than the Filipino forces began to assume an attitude of suspicion itnd hostility which the utmost efforts of our officers and troops w r c unable to disarm or modify. Their kindness and forbearance were taken as a proof of cowardice. The aggression of the Filipinos continually increased until finally, .lust before the time set by tb,o s'-nate ot the Uuited States for a vote on 1he treaty, an attack evidently prepared in advance, was made all along ihe American lines. whi;:h resulted in a terribly destructive and. sanguinary repulse of the insurgents.

A notable beginning has been m a d e in tho establishment of a government in tho island of Ivegroa. which is deserving of special consideration. This was the first island to accept American Baver^ignty. Its peoplo unreservedly proclaimed, allegiance to tho United States ar.d ado/*ed a constitution looking to tho establishment of c. popular government. Tho. judicial power \* vested in three judges, who are to bo appointed by the military governor of tho Island. Inferior courts are to bo established. Freo public schools aie to bo established throughout tho poaulour. districts of the Island, in which tho linghsh language shall bo taught, and this subject will receive the careful consideration of the advisory council. Tho burden of government must be distributed equally and equitably among tha oeople. '1 r.e miT-'aiy •>• leet and receive the customs revenues and will control postal m a t t e r s and Philippine inter-island trado and oommerce. The military governor, subject to the approval of tho military governor of the Philippines, determines all questions not specilijally provided for and which do not come u n d e r t h a jurisdiction,of the, advisory council. Su!u I H I U I U I S . The authorities of the Sulu islands hava accepted the succession of 'the United Stutes to the rights of Spain, and our flag flouts over that territory. On the 10th nr August, ISM, iirig.-Oen. J. C. Pates. U. ,S. Volunteers, negotiated an agreement with the sultan and his principal chiefs. Uy article 1 tho KOV*.-. eignty of the-United States over the whole archipelago of Jolo and its dependencies is declared and acknowledged. Every tjdng indicates that, with tho speedy suppression of the Tarralo rebellion, life in the archipeiago wlil noon resume its ordinary course under the protection of our sovereignty, and the people of tht si" favored islands will enjoy a prosperity and a freedom which they have never before known. Already hundreds of schools are *»p«n. , .,. F u t u r e G o v e r n m e n t . The future .iroverciucut of J,h* Philippines rests with the congress of the, United Plates, Few graver responsibilities have ever been eonlided to it?, If we ac-' cept them in a spirit worthy of irur r a e s and' our traditions, . a great opportunity comes with them. The islands lie under the shelter of our flag. They are ours by every title of law and equity. They cannot h i abandoned. If we desert t+ie«i we leave thtm at once to anarchy and finally to barfj^riBm, We fling them, u gulden apple of discord, among the rival'powers, no one of which could permit another to seize them unquestioned. Their* rich, plains and valley* Kvould be Ihe scene of! endless atrlft aad blowiahed. The advent of Dewfcy's^eeT in Mai Una bay Instead ot being, as we hole, the d*.wr» of a new day of freedom and progrtW, will have been the beginning of a n . e r a of misery* and violence worse than any which has darkened their UhbappV past. It does not seera desirable that I ahould recommend a t this time a special arrd final form of government for these islands. When peace shall be restored it will be the duty of congress to construct a plan of government which shall establish and maintain freedom und order and peace iu the Philippines. L c K l s l a l l u n f o r H a w a i i . The people of these Islands are entitled to the benefits and privileges .of our constitution, but in the absence of any act of congress providing for fedoral courts in the islands, and for a procedure by which appeals, writs of error and other judicial proceedings necessary for the enforcement of civil rights may be prosecuted, they are powerless to secure their enforcement by the judgment of the courts of tho United States. It is manifestly important, therefore, that an act shall ba passed as speedily as possible erecting these Islands into a judicial district, providing for the appointment of a |udg3 and other proper officers and methods of procedure in appellate proceedings, and t h a t the government of this newly acquired territory under the federal constitution, shall be fully defined and provided for. G o v e r n m e n t f o r Porjfo K i e o . I recommend t h a t legislation to tha same end be had with reference to the government of Porto Rico. The time Is ripe for the adoption of a temporary form of government for this island; and many suggestions made with reference to Alaska are applicable also to Porto HJco. The system of civil jurisprudence now adopte d rP^j 1 , ^ 1 ^ 1 ^ °e ***** islWKl ie described by competent lawyers, who are familiar with it, as thoroughly modern and scientific FO far as ,4t rebates to matters of internaLiQgw>LUu*lnes6.. trad*, production and\»ocJai and private right in general. The cities of the island are governed under c h a r t e r s which probably require very ikjJe -or, oo ^changi. So t h a t with relation to matters of local concern and private right, it is not prehable -that mucn if any legislation is" aetrinVbie; but with reference to public administration and the relations of the island to the federal government, there ure many matters which are of pressing urgency. The same necessity exists for legislation on the part of congress to establish federal courts and federal jurisdiction In the island, aa has been previously pointed out by me with reference to Hnwati. It is desirable that the government of the Island under the law of J&elligerent right, now maintained through the executive department, should be superseded by an administration entirely eivil in its nature. For the present purposes 1 recommend that congress pass a law for the organization of a temporary government, which sh.all provide lor the appointment by the president, subject to confirmation by the senate., of a governor and such other officers a s the general administration of the island may require, and t h a t for legislative purposes upon subjects of a local nature not partaking of a federal character, a legislative council, composed partly of Porto Rlcans arrd partly of clti- ' zens of the/United States, shall be nominated and appelated by the president, subject to confirmation by the senate: their* »cts t o - b e euhject 4» ti»e approval of *he eongreas or the president prior to going ^1»to effect.

"Arthur St. John—alia3 Leslie— something else, no doubt, nowadays. He looked like a man of fifty. But I knew him; I knew him almost. In a 'Moment." "You couldn't ha sure," I said doubtfully. Meg smiled, but did not contradict me. But the smile was eloquent—it destfieed my folly. "I had gone down stairs early," Meg continued, leaning back in her chair, ?.nd pushing her hair from her brow with a nervous impatient little gesture. "It's not my way to get up early, is it? But I was restless, I couldn't sleep, and \ thought I should find a novel if I •vent down stairs. The servants weren't moving; but there was a fire In the study. The blinds were all down, but the lire looked <*osy; I went In and stood before it and warmed my toes. I dare say I was looking untidy, Kitty; I think he took me for an early housemaid; he came into the room quietly, and came up behind me, and—and he kissed me, Kitty. I hadn't heard any one come in, and I nearly screamed. But as I turned my head round quickly I saw his eyes, and I knew him, and I didn't scream—I was too frightened to move or make a sound " "Go on, Meg." "Then all at once John called to him from the passage. He called in a very quiet, mysterious sort of vevee—impatient, too. " 'St. John,* he said, 'your sister is waiting. Come.' "He opened the street door quietly and led some one in. They didn't come back to the study as I feared they would; they seemed to be detting out on some journey, and time seemed to be pressing. They stood for a minute speaking softly and quickly in the hall. Do you know, Kitty, whose voice I heard? It w"as a voice not to be mistaken— Madame Arnaud's voice. She was thanking John. She said such an I looked through the chinks of the Venetians and saw her go out. She had puffs of gray hair beneath her bonnet; her gown was bunched out at the sides; she looked sixty—quite. What does it all mean, Kitty? What is the mystery?" "I cannot tell you, Meg." "But you know? Kitty, you are trembling; what is the matter with you?" "Nothing, Meg—nothing!" I returned hastily. "I wa3 thinking—trying to think." But, try as I might, my thoughts refused to 3hape themselves. One idea, and only one, had taken possession of my mind. John had had business matters to talk of with Madame Arnaud! It was business that had taken him there so often—business that they talked about in such lowered, confidential voices! My spirits had suddenly grown buoyant, my voice almost gay. "Meg, stay here for a little while," I pleaded eagerly. "I want to see John all alone." "An uncommon wish!" laughed Meg; but the soft little glance with which she looked back at me robbed tn'e mocking speech of all its sting. CHAPTER XVI. . John was in the breakfast-room. He was seated in an arm-chair beside the fire, his elbow on the table that stood near, his head against his hand. I was standing close to him before he saw me. "John," I said in a quick voice that I tried in vain to steady, "don't let me go away from you! I don't want to go, John!" H.«» sprang quickly tG ^ 3 feet, his face lighting up. "Did I want you to r.o, Kitty?" he asked reproachfully. " i'our wish to leave me has been the bitterest trouble I have ever had to bear. I needn't tell you that. ne**i I? You know it only too well!" 'I DON'T WANT TO GO, JOHN." odd thing, Kitty; I stored it up to tell you—that was what I came to say. You have always been jealous of Madame Arnaud—and I used to think you had reason to be jealous; but now— well, now, I am not sure." '* "What was It that she said?" "She was thanking John for having given her so much of his precious time. " 'We know,' she said, 'that every m'nute spent away from Kitty is a minute you begrudge. You have besn very good; you have never let me feel how my affairs have bored" you.' " 'They have not bored me,' said John; 'we made a compact of friendship long ago; and what is the use of friends if they are not retdy to serve in time of need ?' " "John is a paragon to the end! How has he been serving Madame Arnaud, Kitty? What are her 'ataira' that have been 'boring' him and taking up hit time?" - "I don't know. I don't want to tell you, Meg—not now." "You are a little contradictory, dear; but never mind, mystery is the order of the da/. Do you know that Madame Arnaud came and went away in a dress and bonnet and mantle that madt t/ur lotfk c.ulte an old lady, an old lady of He had taken my hands in his, but I would not let him draw me near him. "I have been jealous, John," I said, bringing out the words in a sharp. labored way. "I have been jealous of Madame Arnaud!" "Jealous, Kitty! Have you cared enough for me to be jealous, dear?" he asked, sadly. "You have had no need to be jealous—none! Yet it i& good news to me, all the same." "It wasn't your love for hor, John, that I minded." I went on tremulously, the tears springing unbidden to my eyes. Perhaps—perhaps I did mind that, too; but that wasn't what I minded most You had loved her first and you couldn't help if you loved her best. You hadn't seen her for so long; you didn't know how it would be when you came to see her again—you couldn't help it! And I should have tried to bear it! What I couldn't bear was your always going to see her, your having so much to say to her secretly, so confidentially " "Do you know," asked John gravely, what those talks were about? Listen, Kitty, and I will tell you." "I know already. .You were helping the man about whom you told me yesterday— her brother—yes, I know. J o h a . ^ I went on eagerly, "you will let me stay? I said I wanted- to go, cut I didn't; it would break my heart to go! I'll be content, John; I'll be different and not tease you—I won't ask you to love me very much. I'll let my love be enough for both. And by-and-by, as you said, 'love may come.' You did love me—you said so—before you married me, and the love may come back again " John drew me toward him. He put his arm around me, and looked down at me closely, very tenderly, very wonderingly. "Kitty, you talk in riddles, dear," he said. "You won't ask me to love you very much? What does that mean? You know, dearest—you must k n o w - that, whether you ask or do not ask, I love you with my heart and soul." I looked up at him in bewilderment. "You said—you said that our marriage was a mistake, John," "It was you, KiUy, who said that." "But I said so because I thought that you thought so, John. And you agreed with me. Oh, John, you have forgotten you did agree with me! You said that you felt the mistake and regretted it even more bitterly than I." "For your sake, Kitty, for your sake, dear; because my love had failed so signally to make you happy. You told me that I had spoilt your life, broken your heart; that, when you had a wish, it was only a wish to die." "I didn't wish to make your life a bondage, John." John's eyes twinkled for a moment, and then were grave again. "Do you mean to tell me, Kitty," he a3ked incredulously, "that you doubted that I loved you?" "Do you mean that you could possibly doubt, John, that I loved you?" I retorted in the same tone of incredulity. "It was natural enough for me to doubt," said John humbly. "Much more natural for me," I returned, looking up at him with sparkling eyes. I had clasped my hands upon his shoulder; I put down my cheek against them. "I thought," I confessed, "that you had married me for kindness' sake— to—to provide for me, John. .Everyone thought so. Meg and Dora and Aunt Jane and even your sister. You yourself said that you thought of marrying me before ycu thought cf loving me." "Yes," admitted John; "years ago, I had some vague hope that you would give me the right one day to take care of ycu, to make life smoother for you. I suppose I didn't love you as long ago as that—I had only a very tender feeling for you. Love, when it came, was real enough in spite of that early thought. Don't scorn my love, Kitty, because I met it with welcome instead cf rebuff." There was not much scorn in my eyes as I raised my head and looked softly, smilingly into the gray eyes looking down at me. He kissed ms; and r^v a minute we stood in silence. "Kilty," he said at length, '^here is something that I want to tell you. I ought to have told you long ago. It was a painful story, and I did not tell rt. Come and sit down, and I will teh it now." He drew me to the little sofa beside the fire; and there he told me the story cf his first love, the story that in part I knew already. "She gave you up because you were poor?" I asked indignantly. "Don't blame her, Kitty! She gave me up for her brother's sake. It is more than ten years ago now that her brother forged that check of which I told ycu—that first check. There seemed to be nothing but utter ruin before him. Arnaud, the man that Lucia married, had money and influence. He used both on the tacit understanding that ehe should marry him. Her brother was saved for the time." "Was it the only vray?" I questioned. "I think some other way might have been found. But she could not be calm and weigh chances. She was devoted to this broiuer. For ten long years, as she said the other night in the park, she has hoped against hope for his reformation; has tried to be brave, has tried to hope for the best. And now, at the end of the ten years, things are just where they were before, I think they are worse this time, for this time he is less repentant. She is sacrificing her whole life to him; but she does it almost without hope. She la going away with him—to South America, to banishment." I was quiet for a moment. "John, I have been so unjust to her," I confessed in a low tone—"so unjust to her always in my thoughts." "She is one of the noblest women that I know!" said John. Again we sat silent for a minute. My heart was beating fast; I longed to ask a question which I dared not ask. "John, I won't be silly, I won't be jealous—tell me," I pleaded, "if you didn't try to love me, would you love her still—love her best, I mean?" John answered gravely, with an atr as earnest as mine. "I respect her," he said; "I shall respect her always. I do more than respect—I admire her. But that is all! The old love was dead, Kitty, years bafore the new love was born!" I was contented.—The End.

As the question was about to be put, there arose from one corner of the room a miserable female, wrinkled and gaunt, and, stretching out her arms, in a shrill voice she cried: "Look upon me. You all know me, or you once did. You all know I was once the mistress of the best farm in the township. You all know I had one of the best—one of the most devoted of husbands. You all know I had five noble-hearted industrious boys. Where are they now? You all know. You all know they all lie in a row, side by sid^, in yonder churchyard; all— every one—filling a drunkard's grave! They were all taught to believe that temperate drill kin*, was safe—excess alone ought to b e avoided; und they . never acknowledged excess. But I saw the gradual change coming over my family and prospects with dismav a r d horror; I felt we were all to be overwhelmed in one common ruin. I tried to ward off the blow I tried to break the spell—the delusive spell— in,which the benefits of, temperate drinking had involved my husband and sons. I begged, I prayed; but the odds were against me." And, with her arms flung high, and her tall form stretched to its utmost, and her voice raised to an unearthly pitch, she exclaimed: "I shall soon stand before the judgement seat of God —I shall meet you there, you false guides, and be a witness against you all." She spoke and vanished. But when the chairman put the question, "Shall any license be granted for the sale of spiritous liquors?" the response was unanimous— "No!" m i l l i o n * G i v e n ' A w a y It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

In August 1897 my husband, Mr . Ourlin and my brother Buiiey Smith l«ft San Francisco for Dawson c i t y intending to go by boat the entire distance. T h e boat called the North F o r k — o n ..which they took passage was very h e a v i l y loaded besides taking in tow a smaller boat called the Mare Island to carry the passengers up the Y u k o n . T h e boat made very slow progress and by the time they reached St. M i c h a e l s Island the season was so far advanced they could proceed no further as ice was already forming on the Y u k o n . S o m e of the passengers—Mr. Carlin included— returned to the states to spend the winter and go in over the Pass in the spring, while others remained on the boat in the canal, and it is of their life from then until the preseut time that is described in these letters. 4 cans best Tomatoes 1 can Plums to close 1 can Stringed Beans to close 1 gallon good Syrup 1 gallon 30c Molasses 1 gallon 40c Molasses .25 .02 .02 .20 •28 moon is a surprise.

Healey (here in winter quarters) we manage'very well to wear away £hq time. Three- a£ us sunk a shaft here on the low ground to see the nature of the soil and if possible to find something, but the hope of finding gold was not very strong. We went down 50 ft. 40 ft. was"frozen. The next ten soft with no frost after 45. We exploded the theory that one could not get through frost in Alaska. The fifty feet was through muck with uo change. We found plenty of shells, layers of ice, and evidence of made ground from overflows. At 50 ft. we got through muck into a fine black sand, and were hopeful some of reaching gravel possibly, but low! the next morning we had ten feet of water. We took out the water but could make no headway so had to abandon our hopes and hard work of over a month. We did not regret the work as it put us in fine trim, giving us good appetites, good muscle and in fine spirits. This climate is healthy— I never felt better. Have not had even a cold—which was quiet common in the rainy seasons of Washington. We are a mile from the sea, and it is a sight to go out there and walk over the ice. I t is piled and gorged on the shore in places higher than our boat and for two or three miles out you can see great hills of ice which was piled up by the action of the tide while freezing. I t will be a grand sight in the spring to see it ^o out. I would like to be at the mouth of the Yukon river and see the ice come down and pile on the bar and sand spits. Two parties started out from the boat to prospect in the foot hills near by. Dec. 13th 1897. Now I will write you of our winter life. After we were settled we went to work stacking up wood to keep us warm during the winter. We were not able to get to Stewart island, a distance of twelve miles, where we were goifig to put up wood. The ice and cold weather prevented our getting over. We have now about four hours sun. from a little after ten until about two-thirty, about 18 hours darkness G hours light. The sun does not get high enough to 1** make a respectable sun rise. The than all the states east of the Mississippi, and but little prospected away froxu the Yukon. . An Indian carrier came down from Dawson 'las^w^ee^ (1300 mil4s) with » dog team,sent down to report the rival of three boats of ihe No£th American T r a d i n g Co. at Dawson with 600 tons of provisions. 1-1 his meaus there is no starvation at Dawson. News came ^ • w n t h a t mine owners were pay- ^ 0 ) ^ ^ 5 , 0 0 per day for men who h&d a grub stake to work in the mipes. See what we are missing. If (we had reached Dawson with our provisions every mau, no doubt, could have had work as kthey all have a year's supply of provisions. This long winter at those wages nifcaus we could make $5,000 by May. Well we are far from them. But the news is good; it shows the riches of the mines and means that Dawson will be a great place next year.

Young is still in pursuit and hopes to find the i n s u r g e n t leader in Benguet mountain pass and capture him there. d e n . Young's command was met by a brass band at t h e outskirts of Santa Cruz and h e and his officers were escorted to houses where rest and refreshments were tendered them. After a week's absence in the interior of Luzon. IJen. Young has been heard from, lie reports having arrived at Vigan on the evening of t h e 5th, after an engagement with the enemy at Narbucan. whom he drove to t h e eastward into San ljuentiu Canyau with a loss of one killed and 1>' wounded. The enemy left -5 dead in the trenches, besides a few rifles, several thousand rounds of small ammunition and 40 shrapnel. His troops are now engaged in pressing t h e enemy back. j - I t i s learned t h a t the Filipinos deserted an almost impregnable position at Tagudin 3G hours previous to (Jen. Young's arrival. There were 000 rebels strongly intrenched under command of Gen. Tino, which could have slaughtered a whole brigade while they, were crossing the river. In fact 100 well-deciplincd troops could have withstood a very strong a t t a c k without serious loss. Gen. Gregorio Del Pilar, commandi n g Aguinaldo's bodyguard, -was killed by Maj. Peyton C. March's battalion of t h e 33d infantry, in a fight 18 miles n o r t h w e s t of Cervantes, Dec. 3. In addition to this death 70 other Filipinos were also killed or badl}' wounded. T h e American loss was one killed and six wounded. Maj. March is still in pursuit of the enemy. It is reported that the Filipino commander, Gen. Alejandrino, with his staff, h a s surrendered to tlen. Mac Art h u r , and there is also a rumor that Alejandrino is at Aguilar suffering from a wound received'in a light between insurgents arid bandits and that he will be given an opportunity to surrender and will be properly cared for. A force of insurgents estimated at 800, attacked the" American garrison of 200 at Vigan. province of South I locos. T h e American loss was eight killed and many wounded. After very hard fighting t h e Filipinos were driven off and through the mountains, leaviug 3a dead. Col. Bisbee reinforced the garrison. Eighteen hundred soldiers have been ordered to return home from Cuba. This will leave only 8,000 soldiers on the island and this number will be reduced from time to time. The ordering home of the troops is a preliminary step towards establishing a civil government. Orders have been issued for the remaining four companies of the 41)th infantry, now at the Presidio, San Francisco, to embark on the transport Sherman, which sailed for the Philippines on the 0th. ^.

Crop Report. THe Deeember^vrop repojrt issued from the office of the\secr»jtary of state on the 8th does not Wacribo t h e condition of wheat as very flattering. The report says: The condition of wheat, as compared with an average, is 80 in the state, 74 in the southern counties, 87 in the central counties, and 06 in the n o r t h e r n counties. A large majority of the correspondents report wheat as being badly damaged by the liy; a few report the condition good. Late sown wheat, in juauy instances, is as badly infested as t h a t sowed early, which is probably due to the warm, dry w e a t h e r of November. Some iields aiv Inung plowed up for other crops; other iields are being pastured by sheep. Taken as a whole, the crop is seriously damaged, with little prospect for its recovery, eventually. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers in November at the flouring mills is .)02,347, and at the elevators 10(5,307, or a total of ()tiS,0;>0 bushels. Of this whole amount 538,170 bushels were marketed in the southern four ties of counties, «»5,874 in the central counties and 34,012 bushels in the northern counties. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed in the four months, August-November. is 2,081,403, which is 4,840,103 bushels less than reported marketed in the same m o n t h s last year. At 48 mills and elevators from which reports have been received there was no wheat mark e t e d™ November. The total amount of wheat shipped by railroads from t h e various stations, as' reported for October, is 171.014 bushels. The condition of live stock throughout the state is good. In some counties considerable stock is beVng- fed for market, while in other sections very little is being fattened on account of the price of hay. The condition of horses, cattle and sheep, in the state, is 00, and of swine 07. In most parts of the state fall pasture has been good. While it has been too dry in some parts of the state for pasture to grow, the condition for the state being 87, yet in the main all kinds of stock have done fairly well.

T h e purpose, of this dam is t o raise and control t h e level of Lake Erie a n d Detroit river, Lake S t Clair, St. Clair river and to a. limited e x t e n t of Lake Huron. T h e bill isbased upon the findings and recommendation of the board of distinguished engineers appointed by t h e l*resident in 1897 to investigate t h e project of constructing a deep w a t e r w a y from t h e tJrent Lakes to tide water. In t h e senate on t h e 7th Mr. Harrisintroduced a joint resolution providingfor t h e limitation of the time a President shall be elected to one term of six years and making t h e t e r m s of members of the house four years. He also introduced a bill for the g r a n t i n g of pensions to persons who nerved in t h e confederate service and afterward in t h e a r m y and navy of the United States.

The use or track tanks by which locomotives of high speed passenger trains may take water without t o p - ping is almost universal on the larger Eastern reads, Where fast expresses are the rule. The B. & O. R. R. haa a number between Washington and Philadelphia and Intends to equip the entire Main Line in the future. This decision was recently arrived at through the us3 of passenger locomotives, equipped with water scoops, on fast freight trains. It was found that much time was saved, danger from stopping, being reduced to a minimum and cost of running lessened. The extra stops for water take much time and the wear and tear *on equipment is no small matter. If the experiment on this part of the road proves successful, track tanks will be installed on every division between Baltimore and Chicago. As a starter, the 50 new Vauclain compound engines recently ordered will be fitted with water scoops. READ WHAT A VOX « 0 D A T S TOO G A S T * t XX T O S l b UfeWXS.

T o the Senate and the H o m e of Repre- ficntatlvcs:—At the threshold of your de- Iberations you a r e called to mourn with •jrour countrymen the death of Vice-Presid e n t Ho bare, who passed from this life on t h e morning of November 21 last. His x r e a t soul now rests in eternal peace. H i s private lifo was pure and elevated, While hla public career was ever distin- fruished by large- capacity, stainless inegrlty and exalted motives. He has been removed from the high office which he honored and dignified, but his lofty character, his devotion to duty, his honesty of purpose and noble virtues remain with tta as a priceless legacy and example. T h e Fifty-sixth Congress convenes in its first regular session with the country in a condition of unusual prosperity, or universal good will among the people at Home, and In relutlons of peace and friendship with every government of the World. Our foreign commerce has shown « r e a t Increase in volume and value. The combined Imports and exports for the y e a r arc the largest ever shown by a •Ingle year in all our history. Our exp o r t s for 1899 alone exceeded by more t h a n a billion dollars our Imports and exp o r t s combined in 1S70. The imports per t.capita are a) per cent less tr.au in ltf'U, howlng the enlarged capacity of the Unied States to satisfy the wants of Its own Increasing population, a s well as to cont r i b u t e l\j luus,* ol the people of other nations. . Exports of agricultural products were •784'<7ili*i. Of manufactured products we fxnorted in value $"39,592.11«. being larger t h a n any previous year. It is a notew o r t h y tact that the only years in all our nlstory when the products of our manufactories sold abroad exceeded those 'bought abroad were ls98 and 1899. O u r F i n a n c e s . Government receipts from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1S99. Including $11,796,314.14, part payment of the Central Pacific railroad indebtedness, ag- C e g a t e d $610,982,004.55. Customs receipts w e r e 1206,128,481.75 and those from internal revenue $»3,437,161.51. F o r the fiscal year the expenditures w e r e J700.oaj.GC4.02. leaving a deficit of ¢89,111,539.67. The secretory of the treasurer estimates t h a t the receipts for the current fiscal y e a r will aggregate $o40,9i>8,112. and upon t h e basis of present appropriations the expenditures will aggregate 5600.958,112. Seaving a surplus of $40,000,000. For the fiscal year ended J u n e 30. 1890. t h a Internal revenue receipts were inc r e a s e d about $100,000,OCO. The present gratifying strength of the t r e a s u r y is shown by the fact that on Dec. 1, 1X99, the available cash balance w a s $278,004,837.72. of which $239,744.905.36 was. in gold coin and bullion. The condit i o n s of confidence which prevail 'througho u t the c o r n t r y have brought g*td into tnore general use and customs receipts a r e now almost entirely paid in that coin. The strong position of the t'/easury with respect to cash on hand and the favorab.e ehowing made by the revenues have made Jt possible for the secretary of the treasu r y to take action under the provisions of section 3G94. revised statutes, relating to t h e sinking fund. Receipts exceeded expenditures for the first live months of the c u r r e n t fiscal year by $13,U3.3S9.91, and, as inentioned abeve, the secretary of the t r e a s u r y estimates t h a t there will bo a • u r p l u s of approximately $41>.000,OCO at the tend of the >oar. Under such conditions it 4va*i deenu_*d advisable and proper to re- • s m e compliance with the provisions of t h e sinking fund law, which 'for eight Vears ha.s not been done because of deficiencies in the revenues. The treasury department, therefore, offered to purchase during November, $23,000,000 of the C per cent loan of 1904, or the 4 per cent funded loan of 19i/7. at the current market price. The amount offered and purchased during November was 51Si.40S.G00. The p r e m i u m paid by the government on such purchases was $2.2€3,&21 and the net saving In Interest was about f2.885.000. The success of this operation was sufficient to ind u c e the government to continue the offer to purchase bonds to and including th? -Sid day of December, instant, unless the r e m a i n d e r of the $25,000,000 called for erhould be presented in the meantime for redemption. Increased activity In industry', with its welcome attendant—a larger employment -for labor a t higher wages—gives to the t>ody of the people a larger power to abs o r b the circulating medium. It is further t r u e t h a t year by year, with larger areas of land under cultivation, the increasing Volume of agricultural products, cotton. c o r n and wheat, calls for a larger volume • f money supply, This is especially not i c e a b l e a t the crop harvestlus and crop- •asovlng period. . E « s k t sued B a n k l n f f . r I n its earlier history the national act -seemed to prove a reasonable avenue t h r o u g h which needful additions to the circulation could from time to time be m a d e . Changing conditions have appare n t l y rendered it now Inoperative to that and. T h e high margin in bond securit i e s required, resulting from, large premiu m s which government bonds command In the market, or the t a x on note issues, o r both operating together, appear to be Influence* which Impair its public utility. T t r e a t t e n t i o n of -eon***** Is -r-eapedf nil jr - invited to this important matter w i t h the view of ascertaining whether or n o t such reasonable modifications can oe m a d e In t h e national banking act as will render its service In the particulars here referred to m o r e responsive to the peo- Ele's needs. I again urge t h a t national a u k s be authorized to organize with a c a p i t a l of $25,008. , T h e G o l d S t a n d a r d . I urgently recommend that to support the existing gold standard, and to maintain •*the parity in value of the coins of the t w o metals (gold and silver) and the e q u a l power of every dollar at all times i n the m a r k e t and in the payment o' d e b t s , " the secretary of the treasury be given additional power and charged with t h e duty to j»cll United States bonds and t o employ such other effective means as m a y be necessary to these ends. The a u t h o r i t y should include the power to sell bonds on long and short time, as condit i o n s may require, and should provide for * rate or interest lower than that fixed •by t h e act of J a n u a r y 14. W75. While t h e r e Is now no commercial fright which w i t h d r a w s goLd from the government. but, on the contrary, such widespread confidence t h a t gold Beeks the treasury d e m a n d i n g paper money in exchange, yet t h e very situation points to the present A S the most fitting time to make adequate provision to insure the continuance of t h e gold standar d and of public confidence i n the ability and purport of the governm e n t to meet ail its obligations in the money which the civilized world recognizes a s the lH*(-t. Our receipts now equal our expenditures'.; deficient iHVonues no longer create alarm. I^et us remove the t>nly remaining runt-••• b y conferring the full and n-.vt:•:;;!ry p o w e r on t h e Ntrcretary of the treasury And Impost* upon him the duly to uphold t h e present gold standard and preserve 4 h e coins of the two metals on u parity w i t h each other, which is the repeatedly •d«cl«*ed potter of the United Ktates. i p tola connection I repent my former r e o o m m e n d a t i o n s t h a t a portion of the - * > ^ U t t n c s abali be plac*A !c a trust funrt. from waii h greenbacks shall be redeemed upon pretermit.on. but whan once redeemed shall not thereafter bo paid out except for gold. M e r c h a n t M a r i n e . The value, if an American merchant marine to the extension of our commercial trade and the strengthening of our power upon the sea invites th« immediate action of consK----,. u u r national development will be one-sided and unsatisfactory so long as the remarkable growth of oui* inland industries remains unaccompanied by progress on the seas. There Is no lack of ccnstiuti! )'\'U authority for legislation which shall give to the country maritime strength commensurate with its Industrial achievements ar.d with its rank among the nations.of the earth. The other great nations have not hesitated to adopt the required means to davelop their shipping as a factor in national defense and as one of the surest and speediest means of obtaining for their producers a share, in foreign markets. Like vigilance and effort on our part cannot fail to improve our situation; wh!ch is regarded with humiliation at home and with surprise abroad. Even the seeming sacrifices which at the beginning may be involved will be offset by more than equivalent gains. The expense is as nothing compared to the a d v a n t a g e to be achieved. I n v e n t ' g a t e T r u s t s . Combinations of capital organized into trusts to control the conditions of trade among our citizens, to siltle competition, limit production and determine the prices of products used and consumed by tile people, are justly' provoking public discussion, and should early claim the attention of the congress. It is universally conceded that combinations which engross or control the market of any particular kind ot merchandise or commodity net essary to the general community, by suppressing natural and ordinary competition, whereby prices are unduly enhanced to the general consumer, arc obnoxious not only to the common law, but also t i tiie public welfare. There must be a remedy for the evils involved in such or^aniz itlons. If the present law can be extended more certainly to control or check these monopolies or trusts, it should he done without delay. Whatever rower tke congress possesses over thN most important subject should be promptly ascertained and asserted. The whole question is ro important and far-reaching that I am sure no part of it will be lightly considered, but every phase of It wll lhave the studied deliberation of ' h e congress, resulting in wise and judicious action. f o r e i g n R e l a t i o n * . , A review of our relations with foreign states is presented with such recommendations as are deemed appropriate. The boundary dispute with the Argentine Republic has been settled and a convention of extradition only awaits slight changes in the text before exchange. It is gratifying to be able to announce that ihe Belgian government has mitigated the restrictions on the importation of cattle from the United States, to which I referred in my last annual message. A convention of extradition with Tlrazil. signed May H. 1S.7. lias been- ratilled by the Urlzllian k*j.'ls',ature. During the past summer- two national -.-hips of the United States have visited Hrazilian ports on a friendly mission and been cordially re- Cvdved. ' . The claim growing out of the seizure of the American owned newspaper, the Panama Star and Herald, by the authorities of Colombia. 1 as been settled, after a controversy of i-wpta! years, by an agreement assess:';!.: at VM.IMI the indemniw to be paid by : he .Colombian government, in three installments of Jli.iVfl each. The go.)d will of Colombia toward our country has been tes'iiieil anew by the cordial extension of facilities to the Nieara^ uan can,:1 commission in their approaching in\ CM Ration of tne Panama canal and other pr'.i-cted routes across the isthmus of Darlen. Discussion of the question? raised by the action nf Derrrnark In imposing restrictions on the Importations of American meats has continued without substantial results in our favor. IxtbiiiiiM C a n a l . The Nicaragua canal commission which has been engaged upon—Ihe work of examination and survey for a ship canal route across Nicaragua, having completed its labors and made its report, was dissolved on .May SI, and on June 10 a new commission, known as the Isthmian canal commission, was organized under the terms of the act approved March 3. 1890, for the purpose of examining, the American Isthmus with a view to determining the most practicable and feasible route for a ship canal across the isthmus, with its probuble cost, and other essential details. The great importance of this work cannot be too often or too strongly pressed upon the attention of the congress. In my message of a year ago I expressed my views of the necessity of a canal which would link the two great oceans, to which I again invite your consideration. The reasons then presented for early action are even stronger now. T h e P a r i s I m p o s i t i o n . Preparations for the representation of the industries, a r t s and products, nf the United States at the world's exposition to be held in PaTis next year continue on an elaborate and comprehensive scale, ' h a n k s to the generous appropriation provided by congress ar.d to "the friendly Interest the French government has shown in furthering a typical exhibit of American progress. There has been allotted to the United States a considerable addition e-f space, which, while placing our country in the first rank p.mong exhibitors, does not suffice to meet the increasingly urgent demands of our manufacturers. The efforts of the commissioner-general are ably directed toward a strictly representative display of all that moat characteristically marks American achievement in the inveTrttve a r t s , and most adequately shows the excellence of our natural productions. I am informed by our commissionergenera! that we shall have in the American sections at Paris over 7,000 exhibitors, from every s t a t e In-ottr country, .a number ten times as great as those whicn were represented at Vienna in 1S73. six times as many as those in Paris in 1878. and four times as many as those who exhibited in Paris in 18S9. This statement does not include the exhibits from either Cuba. Porto Rico or Hawaii, for which arrangements have been made. R e l a t i o n s W i t h G e r m a n y . Our relations with Clcrmany continue to be most cordial. The increasing intimacy cf direct association has been marked during the year by the granting permission ir. April for the landing on our shores of a cable from Borkum Emden, on the North sea, by way of the Azore:-, and also by the conclusion on Sept. 22 of a parcels post convention with the German empire. In all that promises closer relations of intercourse and commerce and a better understanding between two races having so many traits In common. Germany can be assured of the most cordial co-operation of this government and people- We may be rivals In rrany mi'Uiial paths, but our riva'ry should be generous and open, ever aiming toward the attainment of larger • results and the mutually beneficial advancement of er ch in the line of its especial adaptabilities. The several governments of the empire ser-m reluctant to admit the natural excellence of our food productions and to H'Tent the evidence We constantly tender of the <are with which their purity is unaided by rigid inspection from the fane, through the slaughterhouse and-the packing estaUlshmr nts. to the port of shlprr.i :-.t. c u r system of control over r::p>r?ed food staples- invites examination fr< m any quarter ,---^ challenges re- , spool by iti efT'H'^-t thoroughness. It !« to be hoped that in time the two governments will act hi common accord to award the real petition of their common- purpiso to safeguard the publia health nnd to insures the P'.ljltx^fiCuX wholeFoAieneas of "all food products imported by either country from the other. O u r ( a n u i l i u u N e i g h b o r s . In my last annual message I referred to the pending negotiations with Great Britain in respoct to the Domlnlpn. pf CaoiUr da, By means 6t aa exeoiuive agreement !i Joint high cnyimiHgton has been creased' for" the purpose of adjusting t&\ unsettled questions between the United States and Cajiada, embracing twelve subjects, amonir which were th«a questions of the. fur seals, the fisheries of the coast and i contiguous Inland waters, the Alaskan boundary, the transit of merchandise in bond, and alien labor laws, mining rights, reciprocity In trade, revision of the agreement respecting naval vessels in the great lakes, more complete marking of parts of the boundary, provision for the conveyance of criminals, and for wrecking and salvage. The m a t t e r of tire boundary has been receiving the careful attention which its importance demands with the result that n modus vivendl for provisional demarcations in the region about the head of Lynn canal has been agreed upon; and It is hoped that the negotiations now in progress between the two governments will end in an agreement for the establishment and delimlnation of a permanent boundary. Apart from these questions growing out of our relationship with uur northern neighbor, the most friendly disposition and ready agreement have marked the discussion of numerous matters arising in th° vast and Intimate Intercourse of the United States with Great Britain. U o e r "War. TI1I3 government has maintained an attitude of neutrality in the unfortunate contest between Great T-intain and the Boer states of Africa. We have remained faithful to the precept of avoiding entangling alliances as to affairs not of our direct concern. Had < sicu'mstances suggested t h a t the parties to the quarrel would have welcomed any kindly expression of the hope of the American people, the war might be nverted, good ofHces would .have been gkwily tendered. The United S t a ' e s representative at Pretoria was early instructed to see that all neutruJ American interests be respected by the romhfttar.-ts. This has been an easy task In view of the nositive declaration of Both British and Boer authorities t h a t the personal " i d property rights of our citizens should be observed. A satisfactory arrangement was concluded between the governments of Germany and of England, by virtue of which England retired from Samoa in view of compensations in other sections, and both powers lenounced In favor of the United States nil their rights and claims over and in...respect to that portion of the group lying to the east of the one hundred and seventy-first degree of west longitude, embracing the islands of Tutuila. Ofoo, Olosenga and Manna. I transmit to the senate, for its constitutional action thereon, a convention, which besides the provisions above mentioned, also guarantees the same privileges and conditions in respect to commerce arid commercial vessels In a'l of the Islands of Samoa a.s those possessed by Germany. T h e S p a n i s h Y.'nr, My annua! message of last year was necessarily devoted in ureal part to a consideration of the Spanish war and of tho. resuit it wrought, and the conditions it imposed for the future. I am gratified to anru.rnce that the treaty of peace has restored friendly rc.ctions between the two powers. Effect has been Riven to its most important p; ovision.s. The evacuation of Porto Rico haviim already been accomplished en the ISth of October, 1898. nothing remained necessary there but to oon- Liniv the provisional military control of the island until the congress should enact a suitable government for the ceded terrl'.- r;-. The withdrawal of the authority of Spain from the is'and of Cuba was effected by the first of January, so that the full re-epfablishment of pence found the re- !in.'Ui.--hed territory held by. us in trust for' the inhabitants, maintaining, under the direction of the executive, such government and'" control' therein as should conserve public order, restore the productive conditions of pence, so long disturbed by the instability and disorder which prevailed for the greater part of the preceding three decades, and build up that tranquil development of the domestic state wrureby alone can be realized the hi«;h purpose, as proclaimed in the joint resolution adopted bv the congress An the isth of April. 1S'.»S. by which the United States disclaimed any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over Cuba, except for the pacification thereof, and asserted its determination when that was accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people. The pledge contained in this resolution is of ihe highest honorable obligation and must be sacredly ker , t. C a b l e t o M a n i l a . Without repeating the obserratlons of my special message of February 10. 18»*, concerning the necessity of a cable to Manila. I respectfully invite attentipn to it. I recommend that, in case the ,contrress should not take measures to brinp about this result by direct action of the government, the postmaster general be authorized to invite competitive bids for the establishment of a cable; t h e company making the best responsible bw* to be awarded the contract; the successful company to give ample bonds to Insure the completion of the work within a reasonable time. Kn«Nla's F r i e n d l i n e s s . Claims growing out of the seizure of American sealing vessels in Bering sea have been under discussion with the government of Russia for several years with the recent happy result of an agreement to submit them to the decision of a single arbitrator. By this act Russia affords proof of her adherence to the beneficent principle of arbitration which her plenipotentiaries conspicuously favored at The Hague disarmament conference when it was advocated by the representative* of the United States. S a m o a S e t t l e m e n t . Important events have occurred in the Samoan Islands. The election, according to the laws and customs of Samoa, of a successor to the late king, Malletoa I*aupepa. developed a contest as to the validity of the result, which issue, by the terms of the general act was io be decided by the chief justice. Upon his rendering a judgment in favor of Malietoa Tanu, the rival chief. Mataafa. took up arms. The active Intervention of American and British warships became imperative to restore order, at the cost of sanguinary encounters. In this emergency a joint ooiuni'.jsion of representatives of the United States, Gerrrcny and Great Britain was sent to Sarrna to investigate the situation and provide a temporary remedy. T h e S i ' w C a b a . This nation has assumed before the world a grave responsibility for the future good government of Cuba. We have accepted a trust the fulfillment of which calls for the sternest integrity of purpose and the exercise of the highest wisdom. The new Cuba yet to arise from the ashes of the past must needs be bound to us by ties of singular intimacy and strength If its enduring welfare is to be assured. Whether those ties shall be organic or conventional, th • destinies of Cuba are in some rlrhtful form and manner irrevocably linked with our own, but how and how far is for the future to determine in the ripeness of events. Whatever be the outcome we must see to it that free Cuba be a reality, not a name, a perfect entity, not a hasty experiment bearing within itself the t lem.-nts of failure. Our mission, to accomplish which we took up the wager of battle. Is not to b,- fulfilled by turning adrift any loosely framed commonwealth to face the viaKMItudes which too often a.tteml weaker state* whose natural wealth und abundant, resources are. offset b y the incongruities of their political position und the recurrln.g occasions for interna! rivalries , -to sap. their strength and dissipate their energies. The greatest blcs3lr.f which can come to,.Cuba is.ih.e restoration-ai-liftr. Agrlcul* tural arul industrial prosperity, which will give empioymtnt to idle men and reestablish tiie pursuits of peace. Thii 1ft her chief and Immediate need. On tho 19th of August last an order was made fur the taking of the cerrsus In t h i I'lfc-laml.Me heJco'MpleKfa^ on the JlOth of ^NovenJse'r. fTy tJbe tpeaty of peace tho Spanish-popiSatlok on the inland have until April 11, 1&0U, to elect whether they will remain citizen* of Spain or become citizens of Cuba. Until then it cannot be definitely ascertained who shall be entitled to participate in tho formation of the government of Cuba. By that time the results of the census will have been tabulated und we shall proceed to provide for the elections which commit the municipal governments of tho island ra tho olficcrs elected by the people. Tha experience thus acqutrd will prove of great value in tho formation of a representative convention ot the peopie to draft a constitution and establish a genreal system of independent government for the Island, In lho meantime, and so long as we exercise control over tho island, tho products of Cuba should have a market In the United States on a* good terms and with as 'avorable rates ot duty as are given to the We«t India Islands under treaties of reciprocity which shall be made. • Eor the relief of tho distressed In the island of Cuba the w i r department has issued supplies to destitute persons, through the officers of the army, which have amounted to 5,433,000 rations, at a cost of $1,417,554.07. To promote .he disarmament of the Cuban volunteer army, and '.n the interest of public peace and the welfare of the people, tho sum of $75 was paid to each Cuban soldier borne upon the authenticated rolls, on cordltion that he should deposit 1 Is arms with the authorities designated by the United States. Tho sum thus disbursed aggregated $2.547,7¾). wni'-ii was paid ft'om the emergency fund provided by the act of Jan. f», 1890, for that purpose. Out of the Cuban island revenues during the six months ending June SO, 18JJ, Sl.712.OU."JO was expended for sanitation, $233.^1.711 for charities and hospitals, and $SS,9-14.03 for aid to the destitute. R e l a t i o n * W i t h Sun i n . Following the exchange of ratifications of the treaty of peace the two governments accredited ministers to each other,, Spain sending to Washington the Duke of Arcos, an omlnent diplomatist, previously stationed in Mexico, while the Un'ted States transferred to Madrid, Hon. Bellamy Storer, i.s ambassador at Brussels. This was followed by the respective appointment of consuls, thereby fully resuming the relations Interrupted by the wa-. In addition to its consular representation in the United States, the Spanish govornmont has appointed consuls for Cub.i, who have been provisionally recognized during the m-Mtary administration ot the affairs of that Island.

Fortunately, sine* the refrfvalof paoaperous times, the leveni'es have grown roueh faster than the expenditures, and there is every indication that a short period will witness the obliteration of the -annual deficit. T h e Xnvy. The navy hag maintained the spirit and high efficiency which have always characterized that service, and has lost none of the gallantry in heroic action which has signalized its brilliant and glorious past. The nation has equal- pride In its early and later achievements. Its habitual readiness for every emergency has won the confidence and admiration of the country. The people are interested in the continued preparation and prestige of the navy and will justify liberal appropriations for its maintenance and improvement. The officers have shown peculiar adaptation for the performance of new and delicate duties which our recent war has Imposed. It cannot be doubted that congress will at once make-necessary provision for the armor plate for the vessels now under contract and building. P e n s i o n * . On the 50th of June. 1899. the pension roll of the United States numbered IW1,- 319. These include the pensioners of the army and navy roll in alt our wars. The number added 1O the rolls during the vear was 4n,mu. The 'lumber dropped by 'reason of death, remarriage, minors by legal limitation, failure to claim within three years, and other causes, was 48,186, and the number of claims disallowed waa 107.- «19. During the year fttf.OM pension certificates were Issued, of which 37,077 were for new or original pensions. The amount disbursed for army and navy pensions during the year was $1.:48.355.052.1)5 which was $1.051.461.(11 less than the sum of the appropriations. T h e r e h a n i . In accordance with the act of congress approved March 3. 18P3, the preliminary work +n oontwetton with the twelfth cerfi ' sus in now fully uudrr wav. 11 is believed t h a t the twelfth cenmis will empnasize our remarkable advance in all that pertains to national progress. The Philippine W»r. Th«> President treats at great length the Philippine war, covering all the efforts to avert war. etc. Oontlnuine. he says: It Is enough to say the claim of the rebel leader that he was promised independence by any officer of thp United States in return for his assistance, has no foundation in fact nnd is categorically denied by the very witnesses who were called to prove it. The most the insurgent leader hoped for when ho came back to Muni a WPS the liberation of the Islands from tne Spanish control, which they had been laboring for years without success to throw off The prompt accomplishment of this work by the American armv and navy gave htm other ideas and ambitions, and insidious suggestions from various quarters perverted the purposes nnd intentions with which he had taken up arms. No sooner had our army captured Manila than the Filipino forces began to assume an attitude of suspicion itnd hostility which the utmost efforts of our officers and troops w r c unable to disarm or modify. Their kindness and forbearance were taken as a proof of cowardice. The aggression of the Filipinos continually increased until finally, .lust before the time set by tb,o s'-nate ot the Uuited States for a vote on 1he treaty, an attack evidently prepared in advance, was made all along ihe American lines. whi;:h resulted in a terribly destructive and. sanguinary repulse of the insurgents. Ten.dayt* later an order of the insurgent government wirs-irsucd to Hs adherents who had remained in Manila, of. which Gen. Otis ,1ustly observes t h a t "for barbarous intent it Is imequaled in modern times."

Again I invito your atteMion to t h e reporf pf tha commissioners rur me mie;*^ ' a encouraging details of the work already acconipliuhed in tho establishment of peace an4 order and the inauguration of selfgoverning municipal life in many portions of tha archipelago. , ' N e u r o n iM.lnnt]. A notable beginning has been m a d e in tho establishment of a government in tho island of Ivegroa. which is deserving of special consideration. This was the first island to accept American Baver^ignty. Its peoplo unreservedly proclaimed, allegiance to tho United States ar.d ado/*ed a constitution looking to tho establishment of c. popular government. Tho. judicial power \* vested in three judges, who are to bo appointed by the military governor of tho Island. Inferior courts are to bo established. Freo public schools aie to bo established throughout tho poaulour. districts of the Island, in which tho linghsh language shall bo taught, and this subject will receive the careful consideration of the advisory council. Tho burden of government must be distributed equally and equitably among tha oeople. '1 r.e miT-'aiy •>• leet and receive the customs revenues and will control postal m a t t e r s and Philippine inter-island trado and oommerce. The military governor, subject to the approval of tho military governor of the Philippines, determines all questions not specilijally provided for and which do not come u n d e r t h a jurisdiction,of the, advisory council. Su!u I H I U I U I S . The authorities of the Sulu islands hava accepted the succession of 'the United Stutes to the rights of Spain, and our flag flouts over that territory. On the 10th nr August, ISM, iirig.-Oen. J. C. Pates. U. ,S. Volunteers, negotiated an agreement with the sultan and his principal chiefs. Uy article 1 tho KOV*.-. eignty of the-United States over the whole archipelago of Jolo and its dependencies is declared and acknowledged. Every tjdng indicates that, with tho speedy suppression of the Tarralo rebellion, life in the archipeiago wlil noon resume its ordinary course under the protection of our sovereignty, and the people of tht si" favored islands will enjoy a prosperity and a freedom which they have never before known. Already hundreds of schools are *»p«n. , .,. F u t u r e G o v e r n m e n t . The future .iroverciucut of J,h* Philippines rests with the congress of the, United Plates, Few graver responsibilities have ever been eonlided to it?, If we ac-' cept them in a spirit worthy of irur r a e s and' our traditions, . a great opportunity comes with them. The islands lie under the shelter of our flag. They are ours by every title of law and equity. They cannot h i abandoned. If we desert t+ie«i we leave thtm at once to anarchy and finally to barfj^riBm, We fling them, u gulden apple of discord, among the rival'powers, no one of which could permit another to seize them unquestioned. Their* rich, plains and valley* Kvould be Ihe scene of! endless atrlft aad blowiahed. The advent of Dewfcy's^eeT in Mai Una bay Instead ot being, as we hole, the d*.wr» of a new day of freedom and progrtW, will have been the beginning of a n . e r a of misery* and violence worse than any which has darkened their UhbappV past. It does not seera desirable that I ahould recommend a t this time a special arrd final form of government for these islands. When peace shall be restored it will be the duty of congress to construct a plan of government which shall establish and maintain freedom und order and peace iu the Philippines. L c K l s l a l l u n f o r H a w a i i . The people of these Islands are entitled to the benefits and privileges .of our constitution, but in the absence of any act of congress providing for fedoral courts in the islands, and for a procedure by which appeals, writs of error and other judicial proceedings necessary for the enforcement of civil rights may be prosecuted, they are powerless to secure their enforcement by the judgment of the courts of tho United States. It is manifestly important, therefore, that an act shall ba passed as speedily as possible erecting these Islands into a judicial district, providing for the appointment of a |udg3 and other proper officers and methods of procedure in appellate proceedings, and t h a t the government of this newly acquired territory under the federal constitution, shall be fully defined and provided for. G o v e r n m e n t f o r Porjfo K i e o . I recommend t h a t legislation to tha same end be had with reference to the government of Porto Rico. The time Is ripe for the adoption of a temporary form of government for this island; and many suggestions made with reference to Alaska are applicable also to Porto HJco. The system of civil jurisprudence now adopte d rP^j 1 , ^ 1 ^ 1 ^ °e ***** islWKl ie described by competent lawyers, who are familiar with it, as thoroughly modern and scientific FO far as ,4t rebates to matters of internaLiQgw>LUu*lnes6.. trad*, production and\»ocJai and private right in general. The cities of the island are governed under c h a r t e r s which probably require very ikjJe -or, oo ^changi. So t h a t with relation to matters of local concern and private right, it is not prehable -that mucn if any legislation is" aetrinVbie; but with reference to public administration and the relations of the island to the federal government, there ure many matters which are of pressing urgency. The same necessity exists for legislation on the part of congress to establish federal courts and federal jurisdiction In the island, aa has been previously pointed out by me with reference to Hnwati. It is desirable that the government of the Island under the law of J&elligerent right, now maintained through the executive department, should be superseded by an administration entirely eivil in its nature. For the present purposes 1 recommend that congress pass a law for the organization of a temporary government, which sh.all provide lor the appointment by the president, subject to confirmation by the senate., of a governor and such other officers a s the general administration of the island may require, and t h a t for legislative purposes upon subjects of a local nature not partaking of a federal character, a legislative council, composed partly of Porto Rlcans arrd partly of clti- ' zens of the/United States, shall be nominated and appelated by the president, subject to confirmation by the senate: their* »cts t o - b e euhject 4» ti»e approval of *he eongreas or the president prior to going ^1»to effect.

"Arthur St. John—alia3 Leslie— something else, no doubt, nowadays. He looked like a man of fifty. But I knew him; I knew him almost. In a 'Moment." "You couldn't ha sure," I said doubtfully. Meg smiled, but did not contradict me. But the smile was eloquent—it destfieed my folly. "I had gone down stairs early," Meg continued, leaning back in her chair, ?.nd pushing her hair from her brow with a nervous impatient little gesture. "It's not my way to get up early, is it? But I was restless, I couldn't sleep, and \ thought I should find a novel if I •vent down stairs. The servants weren't moving; but there was a fire In the study. The blinds were all down, but the lire looked <*osy; I went In and stood before it and warmed my toes. I dare say I was looking untidy, Kitty; I think he took me for an early housemaid; he came into the room quietly, and came up behind me, and—and he kissed me, Kitty. I hadn't heard any one come in, and I nearly screamed. But as I turned my head round quickly I saw his eyes, and I knew him, and I didn't scream—I was too frightened to move or make a sound " "Go on, Meg." "Then all at once John called to him from the passage. He called in a very quiet, mysterious sort of vevee—impatient, too. " 'St. John,* he said, 'your sister is waiting. Come.' "He opened the street door quietly and led some one in. They didn't come back to the study as I feared they would; they seemed to be detting out on some journey, and time seemed to be pressing. They stood for a minute speaking softly and quickly in the hall. Do you know, Kitty, whose voice I heard? It w"as a voice not to be mistaken— Madame Arnaud's voice. She was thanking John. She said such an I looked through the chinks of the Venetians and saw her go out. She had puffs of gray hair beneath her bonnet; her gown was bunched out at the sides; she looked sixty—quite. What does it all mean, Kitty? What is the mystery?" "I cannot tell you, Meg." "But you know? Kitty, you are trembling; what is the matter with you?" "Nothing, Meg—nothing!" I returned hastily. "I wa3 thinking—trying to think." But, try as I might, my thoughts refused to 3hape themselves. One idea, and only one, had taken possession of my mind. John had had business matters to talk of with Madame Arnaud! It was business that had taken him there so often—business that they talked about in such lowered, confidential voices! My spirits had suddenly grown buoyant, my voice almost gay. "Meg, stay here for a little while," I pleaded eagerly. "I want to see John all alone." "An uncommon wish!" laughed Meg; but the soft little glance with which she looked back at me robbed tn'e mocking speech of all its sting. CHAPTER XVI. . John was in the breakfast-room. He was seated in an arm-chair beside the fire, his elbow on the table that stood near, his head against his hand. I was standing close to him before he saw me. "John," I said in a quick voice that I tried in vain to steady, "don't let me go away from you! I don't want to go, John!" H.«» sprang quickly tG ^ 3 feet, his face lighting up. "Did I want you to r.o, Kitty?" he asked reproachfully. " i'our wish to leave me has been the bitterest trouble I have ever had to bear. I needn't tell you that. ne**i I? You know it only too well!" 'I DON'T WANT TO GO, JOHN." odd thing, Kitty; I stored it up to tell you—that was what I came to say. You have always been jealous of Madame Arnaud—and I used to think you had reason to be jealous; but now— well, now, I am not sure." '* "What was It that she said?" "She was thanking John for having given her so much of his precious time. " 'We know,' she said, 'that every m'nute spent away from Kitty is a minute you begrudge. You have besn very good; you have never let me feel how my affairs have bored" you.' " 'They have not bored me,' said John; 'we made a compact of friendship long ago; and what is the use of friends if they are not retdy to serve in time of need ?' " "John is a paragon to the end! How has he been serving Madame Arnaud, Kitty? What are her 'ataira' that have been 'boring' him and taking up hit time?" - "I don't know. I don't want to tell you, Meg—not now." "You are a little contradictory, dear; but never mind, mystery is the order of the da/. Do you know that Madame Arnaud came and went away in a dress and bonnet and mantle that madt t/ur lotfk c.ulte an old lady, an old lady of He had taken my hands in his, but I would not let him draw me near him. "I have been jealous, John," I said, bringing out the words in a sharp. labored way. "I have been jealous of Madame Arnaud!" "Jealous, Kitty! Have you cared enough for me to be jealous, dear?" he asked, sadly. "You have had no need to be jealous—none! Yet it i& good news to me, all the same." "It wasn't your love for hor, John, that I minded." I went on tremulously, the tears springing unbidden to my eyes. Perhaps—perhaps I did mind that, too; but that wasn't what I minded most You had loved her first and you couldn't help if you loved her best. You hadn't seen her for so long; you didn't know how it would be when you came to see her again—you couldn't help it! And I should have tried to bear it! What I couldn't bear was your always going to see her, your having so much to say to her secretly, so confidentially " "Do you know," asked John gravely, what those talks were about? Listen, Kitty, and I will tell you." "I know already. .You were helping the man about whom you told me yesterday— her brother—yes, I know. J o h a . ^ I went on eagerly, "you will let me stay? I said I wanted- to go, cut I didn't; it would break my heart to go! I'll be content, John; I'll be different and not tease you—I won't ask you to love me very much. I'll let my love be enough for both. And by-and-by, as you said, 'love may come.' You did love me—you said so—before you married me, and the love may come back again " John drew me toward him. He put his arm around me, and looked down at me closely, very tenderly, very wonderingly. "Kitty, you talk in riddles, dear," he said. "You won't ask me to love you very much? What does that mean? You know, dearest—you must k n o w - that, whether you ask or do not ask, I love you with my heart and soul." I looked up at him in bewilderment. "You said—you said that our marriage was a mistake, John," "It was you, KiUy, who said that." "But I said so because I thought that you thought so, John. And you agreed with me. Oh, John, you have forgotten you did agree with me! You said that you felt the mistake and regretted it even more bitterly than I." "For your sake, Kitty, for your sake, dear; because my love had failed so signally to make you happy. You told me that I had spoilt your life, broken your heart; that, when you had a wish, it was only a wish to die." "I didn't wish to make your life a bondage, John." John's eyes twinkled for a moment, and then were grave again. "Do you mean to tell me, Kitty," he a3ked incredulously, "that you doubted that I loved you?" "Do you mean that you could possibly doubt, John, that I loved you?" I retorted in the same tone of incredulity. "It was natural enough for me to doubt," said John humbly. "Much more natural for me," I returned, looking up at him with sparkling eyes. I had clasped my hands upon his shoulder; I put down my cheek against them. "I thought," I confessed, "that you had married me for kindness' sake— to—to provide for me, John. .Everyone thought so. Meg and Dora and Aunt Jane and even your sister. You yourself said that you thought of marrying me before ycu thought cf loving me." "Yes," admitted John; "years ago, I had some vague hope that you would give me the right one day to take care of ycu, to make life smoother for you. I suppose I didn't love you as long ago as that—I had only a very tender feeling for you. Love, when it came, was real enough in spite of that early thought. Don't scorn my love, Kitty, because I met it with welcome instead cf rebuff." There was not much scorn in my eyes as I raised my head and looked softly, smilingly into the gray eyes looking down at me. He kissed ms; and r^v a minute we stood in silence. "Kilty," he said at length, '^here is something that I want to tell you. I ought to have told you long ago. It was a painful story, and I did not tell rt. Come and sit down, and I will teh it now." He drew me to the little sofa beside the fire; and there he told me the story cf his first love, the story that in part I knew already. "She gave you up because you were poor?" I asked indignantly. "Don't blame her, Kitty! She gave me up for her brother's sake. It is more than ten years ago now that her brother forged that check of which I told ycu—that first check. There seemed to be nothing but utter ruin before him. Arnaud, the man that Lucia married, had money and influence. He used both on the tacit understanding that ehe should marry him. Her brother was saved for the time." "Was it the only vray?" I questioned. "I think some other way might have been found. But she could not be calm and weigh chances. She was devoted to this broiuer. For ten long years, as she said the other night in the park, she has hoped against hope for his reformation; has tried to be brave, has tried to hope for the best. And now, at the end of the ten years, things are just where they were before, I think they are worse this time, for this time he is less repentant. She is sacrificing her whole life to him; but she does it almost without hope. She la going away with him—to South America, to banishment." I was quiet for a moment. "John, I have been so unjust to her," I confessed in a low tone—"so unjust to her always in my thoughts." "She is one of the noblest women that I know!" said John. Again we sat silent for a minute. My heart was beating fast; I longed to ask a question which I dared not ask. "John, I won't be silly, I won't be jealous—tell me," I pleaded, "if you didn't try to love me, would you love her still—love her best, I mean?" John answered gravely, with an atr as earnest as mine. "I respect her," he said; "I shall respect her always. I do more than respect—I admire her. But that is all! The old love was dead, Kitty, years bafore the new love was born!" I was contented.—The End.

As the question was about to be put, there arose from one corner of the room a miserable female, wrinkled and gaunt, and, stretching out her arms, in a shrill voice she cried: "Look upon me. You all know me, or you once did. You all know I was once the mistress of the best farm in the township. You all know I had one of the best—one of the most devoted of husbands. You all know I had five noble-hearted industrious boys. Where are they now? You all know. You all know they all lie in a row, side by sid^, in yonder churchyard; all— every one—filling a drunkard's grave! They were all taught to believe that temperate drill kin*, was safe—excess alone ought to b e avoided; und they . never acknowledged excess. But I saw the gradual change coming over my family and prospects with dismav a r d horror; I felt we were all to be overwhelmed in one common ruin. I tried to ward off the blow I tried to break the spell—the delusive spell— in,which the benefits of, temperate drinking had involved my husband and sons. I begged, I prayed; but the odds were against me." And, with her arms flung high, and her tall form stretched to its utmost, and her voice raised to an unearthly pitch, she exclaimed: "I shall soon stand before the judgement seat of God —I shall meet you there, you false guides, and be a witness against you all." She spoke and vanished. But when the chairman put the question, "Shall any license be granted for the sale of spiritous liquors?" the response was unanimous— "No!" m i l l i o n * G i v e n ' A w a y It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

In August 1897 my husband, Mr . Ourlin and my brother Buiiey Smith l«ft San Francisco for Dawson c i t y intending to go by boat the entire distance. T h e boat called the North F o r k — o n ..which they took passage was very h e a v i l y loaded besides taking in tow a smaller boat called the Mare Island to carry the passengers up the Y u k o n . T h e boat made very slow progress and by the time they reached St. M i c h a e l s Island the season was so far advanced they could proceed no further as ice was already forming on the Y u k o n . S o m e of the passengers—Mr. Carlin included— returned to the states to spend the winter and go in over the Pass in the spring, while others remained on the boat in the canal, and it is of their life from then until the preseut time that is described in these letters. 4 cans best Tomatoes 1 can Plums to close 1 can Stringed Beans to close 1 gallon good Syrup 1 gallon 30c Molasses 1 gallon 40c Molasses .25 .02 .02 .20 •28 moon is a surprise.

Healey (here in winter quarters) we manage'very well to wear away £hq time. Three- a£ us sunk a shaft here on the low ground to see the nature of the soil and if possible to find something, but the hope of finding gold was not very strong. We went down 50 ft. 40 ft. was"frozen. The next ten soft with no frost after 45. We exploded the theory that one could not get through frost in Alaska. The fifty feet was through muck with uo change. We found plenty of shells, layers of ice, and evidence of made ground from overflows. At 50 ft. we got through muck into a fine black sand, and were hopeful some of reaching gravel possibly, but low! the next morning we had ten feet of water. We took out the water but could make no headway so had to abandon our hopes and hard work of over a month. We did not regret the work as it put us in fine trim, giving us good appetites, good muscle and in fine spirits. This climate is healthy— I never felt better. Have not had even a cold—which was quiet common in the rainy seasons of Washington. We are a mile from the sea, and it is a sight to go out there and walk over the ice. I t is piled and gorged on the shore in places higher than our boat and for two or three miles out you can see great hills of ice which was piled up by the action of the tide while freezing. I t will be a grand sight in the spring to see it ^o out. I would like to be at the mouth of the Yukon river and see the ice come down and pile on the bar and sand spits. Two parties started out from the boat to prospect in the foot hills near by. Dec. 13th 1897. Now I will write you of our winter life. After we were settled we went to work stacking up wood to keep us warm during the winter. We were not able to get to Stewart island, a distance of twelve miles, where we were goifig to put up wood. The ice and cold weather prevented our getting over. We have now about four hours sun. from a little after ten until about two-thirty, about 18 hours darkness G hours light. The sun does not get high enough to 1** make a respectable sun rise. The than all the states east of the Mississippi, and but little prospected away froxu the Yukon. . An Indian carrier came down from Dawson 'las^w^ee^ (1300 mil4s) with » dog team,sent down to report the rival of three boats of ihe No£th American T r a d i n g Co. at Dawson with 600 tons of provisions. 1-1 his meaus there is no starvation at Dawson.

If (we had reached Dawson with our provisions every mau, no doubt, could have had work as kthey all have a year's supply of provisions. This long winter at those wages nifcaus we could make $5,000 by May. Well we are far from them. But the news is good; it shows the riches of the mines and means that Dawson will be a great place next year.

Young is still in pursuit and hopes to find the i n s u r g e n t leader in Benguet mountain pass and capture him there. d e n . Young's command was met by a brass band at t h e outskirts of Santa Cruz and h e and his officers were escorted to houses where rest and refreshments were tendered them. After a week's absence in the interior of Luzon. IJen. Young has been heard from, lie reports having arrived at Vigan on the evening of t h e 5th, after an engagement with the enemy at Narbucan. whom he drove to t h e eastward into San ljuentiu Canyau with a loss of one killed and 1>' wounded. The enemy left -5 dead in the trenches, besides a few rifles, several thousand rounds of small ammunition and 40 shrapnel. His troops are now engaged in pressing t h e enemy back. j - I t i s learned t h a t the Filipinos deserted an almost impregnable position at Tagudin 3G hours previous to (Jen. Young's arrival. There were 000 rebels strongly intrenched under command of Gen. Tino, which could have slaughtered a whole brigade while they, were crossing the river. In fact 100 well-deciplincd troops could have withstood a very strong a t t a c k without serious loss. Gen. Gregorio Del Pilar, commandi n g Aguinaldo's bodyguard, -was killed by Maj. Peyton C. March's battalion of t h e 33d infantry, in a fight 18 miles n o r t h w e s t of Cervantes, Dec. 3. In addition to this death 70 other Filipinos were also killed or badl}' wounded. T h e American loss was one killed and six wounded. Maj. March is still in pursuit of the enemy. It is reported that the Filipino commander, Gen. Alejandrino, with his staff, h a s surrendered to tlen. Mac Art h u r , and there is also a rumor that Alejandrino is at Aguilar suffering from a wound received'in a light between insurgents arid bandits and that he will be given an opportunity to surrender and will be properly cared for. A force of insurgents estimated at 800, attacked the" American garrison of 200 at Vigan. province of South I locos. T h e American loss was eight killed and many wounded. After very hard fighting t h e Filipinos were driven off and through the mountains, leaviug 3a dead. Col. Bisbee reinforced the garrison. Eighteen hundred soldiers have been ordered to return home from Cuba. This will leave only 8,000 soldiers on the island and this number will be reduced from time to time. The ordering home of the troops is a preliminary step towards establishing a civil government. Orders have been issued for the remaining four companies of the 41)th infantry, now at the Presidio, San Francisco, to embark on the transport Sherman, which sailed for the Philippines on the 0th. ^.

Crop Report. THe Deeember^vrop repojrt issued from the office of the\secr»jtary of state on the 8th does not Wacribo t h e condition of wheat as very flattering. The report says: The condition of wheat, as compared with an average, is 80 in the state, 74 in the southern counties, 87 in the central counties, and 06 in the n o r t h e r n counties. A large majority of the correspondents report wheat as being badly damaged by the liy; a few report the condition good. Late sown wheat, in juauy instances, is as badly infested as t h a t sowed early, which is probably due to the warm, dry w e a t h e r of November. Some iields aiv Inung plowed up for other crops; other iields are being pastured by sheep. Taken as a whole, the crop is seriously damaged, with little prospect for its recovery, eventually. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers in November at the flouring mills is .)02,347, and at the elevators 10(5,307, or a total of ()tiS,0;>0 bushels. Of this whole amount 538,170 bushels were marketed in the southern four ties of counties, «»5,874 in the central counties and 34,012 bushels in the northern counties. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed in the four months, August-November. is 2,081,403, which is 4,840,103 bushels less than reported marketed in the same m o n t h s last year. At 48 mills and elevators from which reports have been received there was no wheat mark e t e d™ November. The total amount of wheat shipped by railroads from t h e various stations, as' reported for October, is 171.014 bushels. The condition of live stock throughout the state is good. In some counties considerable stock is beVng- fed for market, while in other sections very little is being fattened on account of the price of hay. The condition of horses, cattle and sheep, in the state, is 00, and of swine 07. In most parts of the state fall pasture has been good. While it has been too dry in some parts of the state for pasture to grow, the condition for the state being 87, yet in the main all kinds of stock have done fairly well. A foot of snow fell at St. Joseph on the 4th. A beet sugar factory t o cost $500,000 will be built at liattle Creek by Chicago capitalists.

The use or track tanks by which locomotives of high speed passenger trains may take water without t o p - ping is almost universal on the larger Eastern reads, Where fast expresses are the rule. The B. & O. R. R. haa a number between Washington and Philadelphia and Intends to equip the entire Main Line in the future. This decision was recently arrived at through the us3 of passenger locomotives, equipped with water scoops, on fast freight trains. It was found that much time was saved, danger from stopping, being reduced to a minimum and cost of running lessened. The extra stops for water take much time and the wear and tear *on equipment is no small matter. If the experiment on this part of the road proves successful, track tanks will be installed on every division between Baltimore and Chicago. As a starter, the 50 new Vauclain compound engines recently ordered will be fitted with water scoops. READ WHAT A VOX « 0 D A T S TOO G A S T * t XX T O S l b UfeWXS.

An Italian laborer who w*s digging a road near Ard more yesterday afternoon unearthed fully a bushel of half dollars. The report spread and It was not long qntll almost the whole population of Ardmore, particularly the younger portion of it, went out to the old Saunders farm, where the treasure had been found. Sure enough, it was there, and the Italian was so confounded that he could only mumble incoherently. The corns lay scattered about on the ground and many were picked up and stowed away in pockets. When they were examined later, however, it was found that they were all counterfeit. The coins, which were good pieces of workmanship, bore the dates 1848 and 1851. Saunders, for whom the farm was named, was a counterfeiter. One day his place was surrounded by government officials. Saunders escaped them, however,, only to be captured a few days afterward in a hotel in Philadelphia. At his home was found a. wagon load of moulds and other material for making bogus coins. He was sent to prison for twenty years, but managed to get away in an ingeniously contrived box of his own making. This, unfortunately, was turned wrong side up and Saunders, upon being discovered, had to go back to jail to finish his term. Soon afterward he died of paralysis and was buried near Grassland. The coins found yesterday were specimens of his work. Inspectors from Philadelphia have taken them in charge and are trying to recover those which were carried away by persons who arrived soon after the find was made.—PhltadeTphTa Press.

DISPOSING OF A VIPOSE TISSVE A man has actually appeared upon the scene who says that he has hammered off his adipose tissue with a mallet and at the same time hardened his flesh to the proverbial consistency of nails.

An amendment was offered by Mr. Prince (111.) making the appropriation $10,000,000. He opposed the issuance of bonds. No bonds had been issued since the Spanish-American war. Besides, he said there were $136,000,000 in the treasury and $55,000,000 of government money in national banks.

Vice-President Fairbanks will not appoint s committee of senators to attend the funeral of Senator John H.

It was clear that the elder senators were opposed to showing the usual honors paid a dead member, but if the Oregonian'8 friends had'Insisted upon appointment o r a committee one would have undoubtedly been appointed. Under the program that has been agreed upon the senate simply forgets that John H. Mitchell was a member at the time of his death.

The news of his plan ha3 penetrated to the chancellories of Europe and already plans «re-being-ffiad«-toleader-hla in-extraordinary series of receptions. Already arrangements are on—foot to entertain him as guest of honor at a royal international dinner at The Hague. The puraose of this plan is to bring together most of the crowned heads of Europe, and, if possible, certain potentates from Asia and thus lay the foundation for a new Hague conference, at which J;he cause of arbitration will be materially strengthened and the great nations of the earth brought to a footing where war will be practicaly impossible. Mr. Roosevelt will be accorded a welcome, such as is ordinarily accorded only to ruling sovereigns. Possibly the only comparison that could be drawn would be between the proposed trip by Mr. Roosevelt and that of Gen. Grant during the 70X but even in this regard there is significant differences between the character of the two tours of the wcrld. so well there has not been the slightest sign of my old complaint coming back.

Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers, who, with Leon Peruana, her lover, brutally murdered her husband, Marcus Rogers, on August 13, 1902, was hanged in t he-jail yard in Windsor, Vt., at 1:13 o'clock Friday afternoon. It is announced that -ths-fcxeeutlon was njQ^accompjyQlfidJiy any unusual incidents.

"I do not. think it would be brave for me to make a confession," she declared. "I would just be saying I am guilty ot what other peopie did." She mounted the gallows with a steady step. Although a deathly pallor overspread her countenance! hardly a muscle quivered as Deputy Sheriff Spafford pronounced the fatal words: "I now proceed to execute the sentence of the law and may God have mercy on your soul." When the words were pronounced Deputy Sheriff Angus Mc- Auley sprung the trap and, the drop fell. A strenuous effort had been made (0 secure a reprieve for the murderess, but Gov. Bell rsfused steadfastly to interfere. He said: "I know of no law that is not as much for a woman as for a man. 1 consider that for me to meddle in this case would place me as executive of the state of Vermont and its laws in a ridiculous position." Mrs. Rogers spent her last days in crocheting fancy work for her relatives and for people who have aided her, in reading the Bible, and in playing with the little daughter of the keepe » of the prison. \ v Indicted Twenty-four. After submitting a partial report containing 24 indictments against cattlemen, a federal grand jury, which has been in session for a week investigating Kansas land fraud cases, adjourned Saturday for three days.

Must Have the Kind of Food That Nourishes Brain. "I am a literary man whose nervous energy is a great part of my stock in trade, and ordinarily I have little patience with breakfast foods and the extravagant claims made of them. But I cannot withhold my acknowledg- -mpnt nf the d£ht that I owe to Grape- Nuts food. "1 discovered long ago that the very bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not calculated to give one a clear head, the power of sustained, accurate thinking. 1 always felt heavy and sluggish in mind as well as body after eating the ordinary meal, which diverted the blood from the brain to the digestive apparatus. ''1 tried foods easy of digestion, but found them usually deficient in nutriment. I experimented with many breakfast foods and they, too, proved unsatisfactory, till I reached Grape- Nuts. And theo the problem, was solved. "Grape-Nuts agreed with me perfectly from the beginning, satisfying my hunger and supplying the nutriment that so many other prepared foods lack. "I had not been using it very Ion* before I found that I was turning ont an unusual quantity and quality ot work. Continued use has demonstrated to my entire satisfaction that Grape-Nuts food contains all the element* needed by the brain and nervous system ot the hard working public writer."

John's bravery had beer tested ere now on many a hard-fought ; field, [and It was with Impatience a' being* interrupted Hither than alarn that h» scrambled through the small pantry window. S Ansa/? crm2fa/XS&m&£&££E>mJTi? <W«BWWZ2? Assejr jzasr<fja/zar CHAPTER I. Held by the Enemy. It was night in Georgia. The misty moonbeams, filtered "through the latticed branches of the pinea, fell upon the figure of a man in blue w o o followed a well-worn path leading to a mansion situated on defeatable ground near Atlanta. Fierce and sanguinary battles had been fought all the way from Chattanooga, and the doom of the Gate City was sealed. Presently Atlanta and Its eavirous must fall Into the hands o f the victorious Sherman. Those •were troublous times for the Confederacy, and many a heart grew cold -With a vague fear while-facing the approaching disaster. Close behind this advancing figure a second might have been seen—a tall, lean fellow who wore the chevrons of * sergeant, though it would be impossible to tell whether his dusty wellworn garments stamped him a member of the blue or gray. Emerging from the pines the house lay before the leader, bathed in the flood of lunar light He came to a stand and gazed upon the scene as though certain emotions long since dead had been aroused to a new life. _Whlle he thus stood, the lanky sergeant joined him. "There It is, Shanks. I was a boy when last I looked on the old home, and it would hardly do to tell how many years ago that was. Groat changes have taken place here in Chat time. No doubt some of my old neighbors would think it rough that Fletcher Ridgeway's son should be with the army of invasion, but they know little of my life, and could never guess the powerful motives that bring m e here. Let's Advance, sergeant. I believe the house is deserted. Indeed, I am surprised to see it standing, with so many bands of plundering jayhawkers and guerrillas running through the country." "Just as ye say, sir," replied the "D»/, sir, pesky dry. Shall 1 raise a bucket?" "If you will. Then we will try to enter the, house. My night mission concerns the Interior, and the old hearth of the great sitting room in particular,. Please heaven they may be there." The windlass sent forth many a dreary creak, as if displeased at being compelled to again enter the field of labor; but the bucket of sparkling well-water, better than the nectar of the gods, was soon tilted tfpWn the curb, and after an absence of many years John quenched his thirst at the same foumata~that-haxr Berved him in boyhood. This pleasant duty finished, he ajdU vanced to the building. Whatever recollections were rioting through his mtnd—and they must have been legion —he did not allow them to appear upon the surface. Evidently this same John was capable of controlling his feelings to a remarkable extent. Of course the door was fast—he expected that. A window would grant the desired ingress. There was something repugnant about this mode of entrance, but during the stormy war times men who were soldiers met with so many strange adventures that these feel; had to be stifled to a greater or less extent. So John passed from one window to another, trying each in turn. Suo- -eess- did- not; come Immediately, btrthe jwas not discouraged. A man's character crbps~ow"treven in such small things of life, and John possessed pertinacity to a certainty. Finally he discovered a window thi t offered no resistance to his onslaught, and thus after the long lapse of years he once more entered the house that had been hre boyhood's home. Like a man walking in his sleep, he passed from one room to another. The moonlight found an entrance through' the many windqws, though they were festooned with cobwebs No sooner had he dropped upon th< explosions, to which the gas. which ground than violent hands were lai< on h i u . A muscular man, John se' about persuading his assailants tha' they- could not thus, act -with impunity Though three to one, they migh1 have met their match in this desperate soldier, but for the coming of rein forcemeats. Underline combined. as sault John was soon made a prisoner and ranting for breath awaited th< next move of his enemies. To his surprise only two of then' . seemed to wear any uniform.

They were now near the house, one oT those rambling Southern structures «o well adapted to the country, a picturesque building that would have delighted the eye of an artist.

It served to reveal various objects in the rooms, and John's mTnd went back through the vista of years as each familiar scene aroused memories of the past. At length he stood in the room that seemed to be his goal. Here was the wide-throated chimney, the generous hearth with its old-fashlo] In front of a roaring fire how many times in the long ago Had he sat with his boy companions, cracking nuts and chattering like a lot of magpies, or listening to grandfather's weird stories of early life in the South. John was an intensely practical man, and quickly swept aside this halo of romance that threatened to overwhelm him. "Now to see whether the papers have lain there during these years, or been discovered. Come, my dear fellow, brace up and put the matter to n test." Just as he was bending down to remove one of the stones that formed the hearth, he heard the hoot of an owl from the outside. This was the signal arranged with the sergeant— it meant sudden danger. John wheeled and stepped to a window, but the dust was too thick on the niass to allow him a chance to The report of a gun sounded on the night air. »* This meant business beyond a peradventure, for In war times the dfcr charge of fire-arms is significant..

Not a word was said as they tramped along the road. John's curiosity had been aroused, however, and he wondered whether his confession as to being a bachelor would have any bearing one way or another upon his possible fate as a spy. The growl of heavy guns could be heard in the distance, telling that Sherman's grip was hourly growing more tenacious, and the time close at hand when the Gate City must surrender to superior force. These sounds were unpleasant music in the ears of those whose sympathies rested with the distressed Southland. AN AWFUL SKIN HUMOR.

Lyndhurst—the name was familiar to John, and he remembered that in the days of his youth the Grangers lived there. Perhaps officers were quartered there, for the squire had always been a most ardent patriot, and no doubt from his vast resources had contributed much to help on the cause of the Confederacy. Under such circumstances, therefore, it was possible that a drum-head (urt-martial might be held, and a speedy execution take place. John hardly liked the thought of dying upon the scene of boyhood's pleasures, but the stern lessons of campaign life make light of even such a ghastly possibility. So he trudged along In the midst of sHent captors. Now and then his Merry Man Always Welcome.

Its peculiar position had thus far saved the historic old mansion with its delightful grounds from the bombarding guns of the enemy, but once the city fell Into the hands of the conquering Federals, Lyndhurst would feel the blighting influence, and, possibly, be left in ruins. Lights gleamed through the trees, showing that the mansion was far from being deserted. Straight up to the door they led the prisoner, and presently John found himself locked in a room. Voices in earnest conversation could be heard near by. Finally the door opened and some o n r ' entered. It was a man of about fifty whom John faced, a man with a most determined countenance.

PLOT TO K I D N A P C O U N T W I T T * 8 A I P T 0 HAVE BKEN PLANNED. BY HOUSEHOLD GUARD. Peasant Uprising 8preade. Saturday's dispatches from Russia tell of several new mutinies of troops and sailors at various points, besides a plot to kidnap Count Wltte and another to assassinate Minister Durnovo and his assistant, M. Sebastianoff, superintendent of posts and telegraphs. Tho most alarming of the several mutinies reported occurred in St. Petersburg itself, t w o battalions of marines refusing to obey orders to proceed to Krohstadt until martial law w a s raised there. It was found necessary to call out troQPfl_to force the men to leava their barracks and embark. It was7 feared that the revolt would spread even to the troops themselves. The plot to kidnap Count Witte Is alleged to have been arranged by some of the czar's household guard. It Is persistently rumored that the premier will resign and that Count Alexis Ignatieff will be appointed military dictator on Monday. Serious disorders are reported from Warsaw and other points in Poland. The radical papers at Warsaw have brought about a run on the banks there that may prove serious, the object being the exhaustion of the gold reserve. The peasant uprising is steadily spreading^ the latest evidence of its spread being found In the vicinity of Peterhof and Gatchina. At Saratoft there are said to be over 50,000 peasants in the field, well armed, deterjffiLlneiL^ lo- reaiat a n y attempt -ofr^thenew governor, Maximovitch, to carry out the—bloodthirsty order issued to the Cossacks on his accession to office, which was in efTect an order to slay right and left. Maximovitch made a sorry exhibition, of incapacity when he was governor of Warsaw and it to not expected he will make a success 0? his n e w office. Dispatches from various sources show the situation -at Harbin and Vladivostok is more serious than ever and that the mutineers have almost complete controljof both cities. ^Previous advices to the effect that mutinous soldiers have killed several of- 1 fleers are confirmed. Fresh disorders are reported from Kronstadt. It is said that the loyal troops there were obliged to fire on mutineers. Riots are also reported to have taken place among the troops returning from Manchuria, At Sizian rioters are reported to have sacked the railway station A BRIEF SKETCH OF HER LIFE € How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth ant* How the "Panic of '73" Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.

They had four children, three sons and a daughter. I In those good old-fashioned days few drugs were used in medicines; people relied upon nature's remedies, roots and herbs, which are t o d a y recognized as more potent and efficacious in controlling diseases than any combination of drugs. Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took a deep interest in medicine, in botany— the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics, .and^ power over disease; s h e believed* that as nature so bountifully provides food for the body s o she also provides medicine for the ills and weaknesses of the body, in the roots and herbs of the field, and as a wife, mother and sympathetic friend, s h e often made use of her knowledge of roots and herbs in preparing medicines for her family and friends. Knowing of so much suffering among her sex, after much study and research, Mrs. Pinkham believed that the d i s e a s e s of women have a common cause, and she set to work to nnd a common remedy—not at that time as a source of profit, but simplj How her efforts have been rewarded the women of the world know to-day.

Its length and severity w a s too much for the large real e s t a t e interests of the Pinkham family, a s this class of business suffered most from this fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away.

There are 71 of these, and they control trade with an iron hand and they have given -orders not to handle American goods. It is almost impossible to get at them. Of course, we have treaties guai anteeing the free circulation of our goods, but supposing the coolies on the docks, the carriers on. the streets and everybody connected with the handling of goods refuses to touch them, what are you to do*/ ' "American houses'in Canton are full to the roof with flour, and they cannot budge it. In the meantime, Australian merchants are chartering everything they can get their hands on to rush their inferior flour into the market to take advantage of our difficulty.

Cotton mills are being established in China by Japanese houses, and with cheap labor and no transportation charges they are in a position t o drive us out of the field. They will also develop the steel ore of Korea and probably the oil. In thig way our vast kerosene and steel business there will be taken over by the Japanese. "The"only thing that could raise the boycott would be to rescind the Chinese exclusion laws, and this, of course, will not be done.

Then came t h e question of selling it, for a l w a y s before they had g i v e n it a w a y free. They hired a Job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth t h e merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E.

The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to' a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the demand gradually increased.

During her long and eventful experience she was ever methodical i n her work and w a s careful to p r e s e n t a record of every case that came to her attention. The c a s e of every s i c k woman who applied to her for a d v i c e —and there w e r e thousands—received careful study, and t h e details, including symptoms, treatment and results, were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with thousands made s i n c e / a r e Yvailsble t o sick women the world over, and represent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills which, for authenticity and accuracy, can hardly be equaled in any library in the world.

Lady ANsi^tnni in Attendance Calls Answered Day or Night Gregory Telephone—(i, 1L-1N Gregory, Michigan HOW A FEUD AROSE By EVAN CAMERON Copyright by American P r e s s Aaao- , elation, 1911. Quarrels ure like tires. First thenis u spark, then a tiny flame, then a snapping, then u blazing tire, then u roaring conflagration. And the wors kind of quarrels are those between friends. Two pioneers, Daniel Simpson am' Uenry Underwood, emigrated with their families to the fur west and en tered land owned by the government They had been schoolmates and owntv farms side by side. There was no occasion for a dispute to arise between them so long as they remained in the east, for their boundaries had been surveyed and Axed generations ago, and, being well fenced, the stock of neither could trespass upon the other's premises. Therefore their affection for each other grew stronger, and the families were further bound together by an engagement between Eliza Simpson and .''rank Underwood, the oldest daughter of the one and oldest son of the other. The two friends each entered a quarter section of land, the two farm* being side by side. Simpson's land was more largely covered with tim ber than Underwood's, and this fact. became a wedge between them. A railroad soon after their settlement 01. the land was projected to run alongside their property, and It became ar once apparent that the timber would be valuable for ties. As soon as this was learned Underwood became interested in his boundary line cover! u._ as much of a wood as it could be stretched to cover. living on the line between the two properties. One morning Simpson went out toward his friend's property and found Underwood driving stakes on what he considered to be his own land. He protested, and Underwood declared that that was the dividing line and he was intending to begin the next morning to fell trees In order to be ready to supply the railroad with ties as soon as there was need. Simpson declared that every tree lie cut beyond a certain point would be robbery. Then Underwood called Simpson a pig and the tight was on. The next morning the ex-friends met on the lin»' of difji.ire. each having an ax with which to tell limber, and before the dar wa< over lnste-'d of fell raring trees they iVil»-d each other T.\s ther coinl'i!; h:>nic to supper, their re spective fai.'ilies vent out to look f<>> them and found their dead bodies, (hi skulls of both beh g cloven. The trouble threw 21 gloom over tntlfamilies, h was esinnhilly deploniblion account of the ^11^11 gerneut of tintwo young f**ople. i'rnuk Underwool iu order that there might he no niorr trouble, sent to the county seat for a surveyor, who Used the boundary- it turned out that neither his father nor his futher's friend was right, the true bouudry being a diagonal line with tinone ubout whirl] they contended. Nor was this all that was mistake:) in the matter. The disputauts hud not long been buried when the railroad to whose contractors they had expected to sell so many ties was discovered to be running the line several miles away from the property of either and through its own tiuiberland. One night when Eliza Simpson was sleeping at home she was awakened by the sound of axes being driven luto the trunks of trees. The sound seemed to her to come from the direction of the l>oundary line. She snt up in bed and listened. The ax men were apparently vying with each other, each striving to strike more rapidly. Eliza got up and went into her moth er's room to awaken her. but by the time she had succeeded in doing so the sound had ceased. The next morning when she had told of what she had heard all considered that she had been dreaming. Nevertheless she declared that she had heard the axes distinctly, the sounds corning from a point between the Simpsons' and the Underwoods' dwellings. When she told her lover about it he declared that if any such sounds led existed lie would have heard them more readily than his fiancee. since the Underwood house was nearer the line on which the timber bordered rli:m the Simpsons'. Eliza, who was positive as to what she had heard. gave him a sharp reply, and he left her in anger. Eliza Simpson heawT again the sounds of axes on the, boundary line. Since the double murder of the heads of fh». two families the conditions had been embarrassing, nnd the day after Eliza's having heard tbe mysterious ax men again Mrs. Simpson went to Mrs. Underwood and told of the oc eurronce. Mrs. Underwood had been under a strain ever since the catastrophe and upon Mrs. Simpson's visit lost her self control completely, declaring that she believed Simpson had murdered her husband, who acted simply in self defense.

Did you ever stop, la your ardent ceremonial, to consider that you were perpetuating one of the most hallowed and exalted of religious ordinances handed down through the ages in rendering such tender homage to this "orphan plant -or wondrous birth?" '- .And would it not surprise you to "learn that our very word "marry," and that cur most Impassioned of the tpraces of Terpsichore—the waltz—: a r e traditionally enmeshed in the can* • y tendrils of the pearly-berried mistletoe? The mistletoe is a freak plant, a parasite or excrescence. In Its embryonic period it Is said to defy the • l a w s o f gravitation by pushing its Tad teles in the.,opposite direction—to t h e generality of plants. Not only Its berries but its leaves grow it* clusters o f three united on "'one stock, hence- Its sacred place In religious rites as * symbol of the Holy Trinity. It was believed by the Druids snd other ancient sects In northern and mmst&m—Europe—that—any—tree—to- -which the mistletoe attaches Itself is selected by Qod himself for special favor, and that all that grows on it 1B s e n t direct from heaven. Contrary to the general belief, It Is 'found more rarely on the oak tree than on the apple, ash, elm, poplar, •willow and hawthorn, and it Is due to -scarcity-that it was vestecT'wTflT m ft 'r- « it ••:'., ;. •••, •exceptional reverence when discovered elinglng to the sacred tree of the Druids—a name derived from the "Qreek_!i^rd_dr us, -ur—druG^-naeaningan oak. Says Pliny: ,rWh«n It (mistletoe -growing upon an oak) Is discovered It i s treated with great ceremony. They called It by a name (guthll, or gutheyl —good heal), which in their language signifies the curer of all Ills." After Jthey have well and duly prepared their festival cheer under the tree, they bring hither a milk-white cow a n d a bullock, hitherto unyoked; then t h e priests In white vesture climb into t h e tree and prune off the sacred herb with a gold hook, bill or sickle, the branches falling beneath into a white aagura theet. They must never touch, the ground." The^ common people rd main at a distance, formed in a drew, -while the priests approach with trembling awe the bloody victims/which were carried, around the omen fire. After this the. animals are slaughtered aa a sacrifice—doubtless to the godd e s s of fecundity, for the mistletoe is m symbol of the prolific. In the myths of all nations we find a "holy tree," a "world tree." Among t h e Druids, as well as among other creeds, this tree was the oak; and it It a very interesting thing to knoy that our word church—from kirk— finds its root in quervus, the generic name for the oak.

The Yuletide custom of decking our churches and our homes with boughs, wreaths and garlands finds Its antecedence in heathen sanctuaries. The spirit of Christmas is most magnanimously manifested in York, England, where they carry mistletoe boughs to the high altar of the cathedral and proclaim "a public and universal liberty, pardon and freedom to all sorts of inferior and wicked people." They suspend it under the chancel arch and bear it" to the city gates, toward the four quarters of heaven. In the varied nomenclature of the word "mistletoe," according to the nationalities concerned, do we discover the magical virtues with which the weird plant is invested. Dr. Johnson says the word is derived from mistion, state of being mingled, tod or toe bush, in German it Is mlstel, mixed, and Saxon tan (Danish tiene, Dutch teene), twig, sprig. In Armorloan, Welsh and Irish it is all yach, or Its equivalent for all heal; and Pliny calls it omnia sanans, a term of slmltar import. — In upper Germany on Christmas morning they go about knocking on each other's doors, shouting "Gut hyl," the synonym for the Druid name. In Urlttany it is the herb de la Croix, which heals fevers and gives strength for wrestling. At the time of George f.-4t-was called iig&um sanota crucls— wood of the holy cross—so highly were its medicinal properties esteemed. Hung about the neck it renders witches powerless. It is used In houses to drive out evil spirits. It is an amulet against poisons, and the inhabitants of Elgin and Moray keep it as- charms. Throughout ~Brrtaanta~ir had a place assigned to It in every kitchen, and a young man was deemed to have the right to kiss any lassie Cpnght hpnaath thft rhgrtahed bra&ethand Norse traditions all emphasize the exorcising, as well a« the amatory propensities of the waxen spray. The Scandinavians have it consecrated to Freya, or Freyja—"from whom r.ows every blessing, the winning smile, the melting kiss." She is the Venus of the ,Noise pantheon, the goddess of love* of peace,' Joy, laughter, frultfulnesB, bringing Increase "to field and stall," and also the tutelary deity presiding over nuptials and child birth. A popular myth relates how Daldur, the wisest and noblest of the gods, is a victim of the inveterate hatred of Lokl, the Satan of the Eddas. The demon is bent on the destruction of the pre-eminently good god, so he and his emissaries. begin their persecutions by throwing missiles of all descriptions at BaSdur, all of which prove harmless, since the deity la under the protection of his mother, Freyja. In desperation Lokl. disguised as an old woman, is admitted to $ £ v celestial abode of Freyja, who In#0-; cently betrays the fact tbat*aU thiags had taken an oath to protect-Baldur excepting the mistletoe, which, being a parasite, was too feeble to harm. In secret joy the demon hastens back to Baldur, on the way fashioning an arrow of mistletoe, which soon pierces the heart of the divinity. After a sojourn in Hell—or Hades—the peaceful abode of the dead, the Saviour is restored to life, and on his resurrection he consecrates the mistletoe to Freyja—all cf which enshrouds divine truths In image and symbol. Astrologicaily Venus governs the mistletoe, as well as the lips, and all the tender demonstrations of Love, so let us ever propitiate the benignant goddess and— "Hang up Love's mistletoe over the earth, And let us kiss under it all the year round."

SOME CRUEL AND UNUSUAV Double Penalty Threatened for Those Who Dared to Interfere With the Wires. Rotoura has been laughing over the wording of a notice that has been placed by the public works department on some of the electric wire posts on the road to Okere, in New Zealand. Some time a^go a Maori youth, who seemed to have a misguided taste for experimenting, threw a long piece of cable over the electric wires that run to Rotoura from the power station at the Ogere Falls. The town was at once plunged in darkness for two or three hours until the mischief had been located. The dusky and youthful experimenter was carpeted in the court and fined for his scientific enthusiasm, and the department put up this notice: "Any person climbing the electric light poles or damaging the insulators are liable to a fatal shock and a penalty of £ 10."—Tit-Bits. 8 U R E N O T .

A woody, difficultly digestible combination such as these two feeds contains too great an excess of dry woody fiber which after long continued uso is apt to lead to serious digestive troubles. • On' the other hand, however, if these feeds are made more palatable and supplemented by small quantities of other feeds good results may be secured. English and Soetch feeders use straw with roots and Borne meal for dairy oows and beef cattle. Much can be done to make coarse feeds more palatable, Jt>ut J he \m£X pied in the winter and tbe extra work is more, than justified when hay is Wintering of his cattle. Under the f w o ^ b « 0 per ton, concentrates ¢25 term farmer in this connection we include more particularly those engaged in general farming rather than the dairy or beef producing specialist. The general farmer' Is not so apt to prepare for emergencies as the specialist. Following the severe drought of the past season there is a marked shortage of farm feeds accompanied by unusually high prices for the same. Under these conditions it is a common practice for the farmer to dispose of most of his cattle at a sacrifice rather than purchase the necessary high-priced commercial feeds. Where this is done a long period usually elapses before the farm is Yestocked. A great deal can be accomplished in the economic wintering of dry cows, Blockers, and even young growing animals if the coarser, less valuable farm crops are properly prepared and utilized. There is much feeding value in tbe straw of such crops as oats, wheat, beardless and hulless barley, cornstalks, corn fodder, etc., if properly utilized. But to $30 and straw $5 to $10. The following plan was employed oner winter an our home, farm when feeds were scarce and high priced. The, feeds. available, were limited quantities of wheat, oat, barley and pea straw, a goodly quantity of corn fodder and roots and a very limited amount of grain. All coarse fodder was run through the cutting box dropping Into a feed room 18 feet square and nine feet high, as follows: A small load of corn fodder would be cut first and spread on the floor followed by a thin layer of pulped roots followed by a small load of cut straw and then a thin layer of meal on which was put a layer of hay. These layers were then moistened with water supplied by a hose from the barn tank. Succeeding layers were placed upon these in order till the feed room was filled. This feed was consumed with great relish and even more so after it had begun to heat a little. There was absolutely no waste of feed and the cattle, numbering about 60 head old and young, came out in good Bhape In the spring. very undesirable results have be-fit required t w 0 half-days per week to putting hay, straw, corn. s.talks, etf. $roug%&»*fl|<t tbe same'and* m *lth It. ,Of> ist^bffli ,J1« ftea aj^-ibe .farm-. «p5ulty*opfiu: prepare the feed, the power being procured from an old-fashioned sweep power, now replaced by the more convenient steam or gas engines. The litter used was sawdust procured from a near-by mill. The extra labor involved 1¾ thus preparing the feed was justified In utilizing every available rough scrap as market quotations were ranging about the prices heretofore given. Ordinarily the farmor does not have the variety of rough feeds used in the illustration. Every farmer with live stock to winter over should have silage or roots, or even both. There are very few farmers who do not have time in winter to prepare the coarse crop products and render them mor« palatable and nourishing for their stock, - Those caught by ttre-serious situation of the present season should Jnot in the future neglect to provide succulence to be fed with the straw and corn stalks as an emergency ra ?tlon. i^WlLBUR P. -NEi' .«j>u..»iiMT.o«<«MiKuiaiB»ain*&a6fCCByw -awac Joy goes; but Sorrow stays To sanctify our d a y s - Joy Is the moment's flush Of mingled sound and sense, And Sorrow Is the hush When deeper thing* commerce; It has a grace to give To this life that we live.

Sluggish bowels will be followed by Idss of appetite, restlessness during sleep, Irritability and a dozen and one similar evidences of physical disorder. At the first sign pf such disorder give the child a teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at nlsht on retiring and repeat the dose the following night If necessary—more than that will scarcely be needed. You will find that the chUd will recover its accustomed good spirits at once and will eat and sleep normally. This remedy is a vast Improvement over salts, cathartics, laxative waters and similar things, which are altogether too powerful for a child. The homes of Mrs. Lu.Grunwald, 18 Perkins St., Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. J. P. MeLellan, Fountain, Mich., are always supplied with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and with them, as with thousanfts of others, there is no substitute for this grand laxative. It is really more than a laxative, for It contains superior tonic properties which help to tone and strengthen the stomach, liver and bowels so that after a brief use of, It all laxatives can be dispensed with and nature will do its own work. Anyone wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buylnK it in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family size) can have a sample bottle sent to the home free of charge by simply addressing Dr. W.

"I believe he would have shaken me, if he hadn't rushed out in time to prevent himself from doing it," she continued, the ever ready dimples venturing out of their hiding places, but she banished them severely. "I'll never, never forgive him, even though he asks me to, which, of course, he won't! And he calls me stubborn!"

In answer to her impatient summons, she was quickly connected with Brown & Co.'s book store. "Have you sent out those books that were ordered for Mr. William Dunning?" she asked anxiously. The answer evidently pleased her, for she breathed a sigh of relief. "That's all right; I'm glad you haven't, for I have changed my mind about them. Please cancel the order." Marjorie hung up the receiver with an air of triumph. "There, I'm glad I thought of that! Billy would have construed a Christmas present into an abject apology," she said, her indignation rising at the very thought of such a thing. But when she went back to her parcels and picked up the little twig of holly she had intended tucking away Into one of them, her face softened. "I know that isn't the right kind of a Christmas spirit to have, but I cant have Billy thinking that I am admitting I was wrong, when I know I wasn't," she argued with herself. The joyous ringing of Christmas' beihr and merry 8heratB~oMrer'ygqsger sisters and brothers, when they discovered their stockings the next morning, only served to emphasize her depression. "Billy never loved me; if he really and truly did he never could treat me like this," she told herself as she stood looking with unBeeing_ey_gB_il-Jthesnowy Christmas world. Just then a young man, fairly tearing around the corner, arrested her attention. It was no less a person than Billy himself who was coming, post haste, to lee her. Marjorie looked at him In wonder. What had come over Billy? Whytnfs sudden contrition, when, she admitted it now for the first time, even to herself she had been greatly, if not altogether, to blame for their quarrel. "O, Billy, I am so glad you came."

"You didn't think I'd be so narrow and unforgiving as to Ignore your dear little peace offering? I brought one t>f the books with me to read something to you," he told her, and diving ins* his pocket he produced a little copy of "Romeo and Juliet" Marjorie was surprised for a second, then it flashed over her what it all meant. Brown & Co. had forgotten to cancel her order and Billy had received the books. Billy had construed her sending them into a humble plea Tor forgiveness. He most probably wouldn't have come at all if it hadn't been for that She stiffened visibly and all her love was swallowed up In a wave of rebel- Uous pride. 'Ton are mistaken/' she commenced eoldly, but Billy interrupted her. 'Here, I have found It "Tly bounty Is as boundless as the ICy love as deep, the more I give to thee.'

An old city provision dealer took his son into partnership. They organized a rapid transit delivery and sold a lot of provisions. But they fell out, and the son started in business on his own account, aud ttere was keen rivalry between them. One day the old man sent for his son. "My boy," be said, "it is neither seemingly nor profitable that we should compete this way; let us divide the city between us. Where you sell, I won't; and where I sell, you must not." "But/' said the SOB,"you have most of-the rich houses now; that won't leave much for me." "Well, of course," replied the father, "I'd like to keep as many of my old customers as I can; but come—I'll give you two-thirds of the city; you're young and can cover the ground better than I—only you must lef'nie choose my one-third. I'll give yofc a lot of the rich district all the same." The boy thought: "I don't keep mi$cb fine wines and other costly goods; and, anyhow, I'd rather sell for cash in the poorer sections than wait Cor the accounts of the rich." So be consented and an agreement was drawn up and signed. '*Now," said the old man, "you can have all the vacant lots."

When Mr. Lawton returned from a long conference with his son in the barn, Mrs. Lawton was In a fever of Impatience. "Well, did you find out what's the matter with him, Henry?" she asked, eagerly. "He's feeling kind of low-spirited," said Mr. Lawton. "He's made a bad investment of some money." "Speculating!" groaned the mother. "There, I knew we never ought to have let him go to the city alone to wort, no matter if 'twas a good offer. What's he been gambling in?" "Well, 'twasn't gambing, exactly," aaid Mr. Lawton, mildly. "He met a young lady that lived ten miles out, and be liked her so well that he bought him a flfty-ride ticket to her place, and the fourth time he went she told him that she was engaged to another young man. "He's my own boy, and be isn't one to let his affections spoil his life, so he told mo that when ho found out she was going to marry a man right In her own town and that he had business that took him Into the city now and again, he sealed the ticket right up in an envelope and laid it away to give 'em for a wedding present.

No word has moved with the times more thanJlpanlCx" Long ago in ancient Greece it was a mild fear inspired by mysterious sights and - -sounds among—tire-mountains a~nfl~vaTT leys by night, which were attributed to the god Pan. Nowadays it has a by no means supernatural significance on the stock exchange as it nearly did in Berlin the other day. "Panic fear" was the original expression, and in shortening it to "panic" we have all boy who calls his "comic paper" a "comic." Shaftesbury, two hundred years ago, would have used the word for any contagious feeling that seized upon masses of men. "There are many Pannfcks in Mankind besides merely that of Fear, And then In Religion also Pannick."

Sentenced for Life; John J. Gets 15 Years. T;he full text of the confession by James 9. McNamara, given to District Attorney Fredericks, was made public by Mr. Fredericks. It follows: "I, J a m e s B. McNamara, defendant In the case of the peopk', having heretofore pleaded guilty to the crime of murder, dt-alre to "make tins ^statement of facts: "And this is the truth. On the night of Wept. 30. 1'JIO. at 5:45 p. m., I placed in Ink Alley, a portion of the Times ijuildlng, a sultva**: containing 16 sticks of SO per cont dynamite, pet to exlloUe at 1 o'clock the next morning'. "It was my intention to Injure the building and scaru the owners. I did not intend to take the life of anyone. I sincerely regret t h a t these unfortunate men lobt their lives. If the giving of my life would bring them back I would ffladyly give it. In fact, In pleading guilty to murder in the first degree. I have placed my life in the hands ot the state. (Signed.) "JAMES B. McNAMARA." The confession covers one side of an ordinary shc^t of paper and was written with a fountain pen supplied by one of the attorneys. It is probably the only written statement of the case that will ever be made by the writer or his brother, John J. Mc- Namara, who pleaded guilty to dynamiting the Llewellyn Iron Works. John Joseph McNamara, secretary of the bridge and structural iron workers, a confessed and sentenced felon, is now with his younger brother, James Batuna McNamara, in San Quelntin prison, For 15 years John J. will serve within the same walls for his confessed part In dynamiting plots that have reached from ocean to ocean. James B. McNamara, the' brother who confessed he did the "job" his elder brother planned, and who said he set the bomb that destroyed the building of the Los Angeles "pines, when 21 lives were lost, will spend the rest fo his life in confinement. The two men were sentenced by Judge Walter N. Bordwell. Led into court by sheriffs, the two men waited while a clerk was sent scurrying out to get chairs for them. The prison pallor on the face of the younger man had been displaced by a nervous flush. Nervously chewing the gum between his teeth he looked around the court room with quick catlike glance's, his head drooping forward. Outside the nervous toying wkh his hands at a watch chain that dangled from his waistcoat, he displayed no sign of nervousness. A striking figure was John Joseph McNamara, the elder brother, big, strong and distinguished, as he stood wafting for the day's events. "Both men were dressed with extreme care. Both wore black. J. J. might have been an attorney, to judge by his appearance. He wore a high collar around which was draped a black tie. Presently the chairs were procured and the m<?.n sank into them. Elaborate prec utions were taken to prevent any demonstration, or attack on any of the actors in the closing scene of the great drama. The sentence was passed in a1 small court loom, near the jail, so that the men could be brought across a "Bridge of Sighs," and not have to be escorted through the streets. There were over a humtred "doputies, ba\Iiffs and policemen guarding the room and the corridors. At one time the room was cleared, and all who afterwards entered it, who might in any way be suspected, were searched, A heavy^ bar was laid across the door, so that there might be no "rushing" of the guards there.

" CAN Low Form of E.xplqslve Used, Where-. in Report Differs From Findings of the Samson Board. The United States battleship Maine, which sank beneath the waters of Havana harbor in February, 1898, as the result of an explosion, WSB blown up from the outside. This was announced late yesterday by the naval board which has been examining the wreck. The finding confirms the report of the original investigators, who made a careful examination of the wreck shortly after the disaster. The statement given out by the navy department is brief, Secretary Meyer does not believe it necessary to issue any extended explanation of the board's exclusion, beyond the flat statement that an exterior explosion was responsible for the logs of the warship and the lives of many men. The statement follows: Statement on Finding. "The injuries to the bottom of the Maine were caused by the explosion of a charge of a low form of explosive exterior to the ship between frames 28 and 31, strake B, port side. This resulted in igniting and exploding the contents of the six-inch reserve magazine, A-14-M, said contents including a large quantity of black powder. The more or less complete explosion of the contents of the remaining forward magazine followed. The magazine explosions resulted in the destruction of the vessel." The shock was felt throughout the country, when", on the morning of Feb. 18,1898, the news was flashed that the battleship Maine had teen blown up and sunk. In the harbor of Havana. Other great, tragedies have stirred the country, but none possessed so many dramatic elements and possibilities of tremendous consequents as did this. The first sensation of the nation felt even before horror over the loss of the brave seamen who had been killed in their hammocks, was v. belief that the explosion was the result of treachery on the part of Spain*. This feeling was so acute that it was with the greatest difficulty that President McKinley and other high officers of the government, prevented immediate demonstrations which would have ihevitably led to war, i <m < • . .

Sir Thomas Shaughnessy of the C&A nadian Pacific Railway Offered $1,00¾ in gold as a prize for the be6t 100 lbe%f:; of wheat, grown on the American tinent, to be competed for at the cent Land Show in New York. In£ makins.the competition open, t a * donor of this handsome prize showed his belief in the superiority of Canadian wheat lands, by throwing the contest open to farmers of all America, both United States and Canada. The United States railways ,were bjr^ no means anxious to have the Cfc^ nadlau. railways represented at th« ; show aaa* a New York paper cam meat* J ing on the results of the competition*.¾. says that they were not to- be blaara^r^ as the Canadians captured the mjfaPV Important prize of the show. ^ ^ The winner of this big wheat priapf* was Mr. Seager Wheeler of Rosthert^' Saskatchewan, and its winning naft:. brought a great deal of eredit OB the - district. The winning wheat was tbe> Marquis variety, and received no more attention from Mr, Wheeler than his other grain, but he is a very particular farmer. Hip farm Is one of th&:' cleanest and best kept in the ftoathern district, and this year he won first prize in a good farm competition which included every feature of farm* ing and every part of the farm. Last winter Wheeler was a prize winner. at the provincial seed fair in Regina. Wheeler Is a firm believer In aow- Ing clean seed of the best quality procurable, consequently his grain la much sought after by the best farmers for seed purposes. Wheeler is an Englishman. He is a pioneer of Rosthern, coming here fifteen years ago. In the last six years be has done much experimenting, par* ticularly In wheat varieties. His farm resembles an experimental farm. A iorrg driveway, lined on both sides with trees, leads to a modest house,, the home of Wheeler, a modest, unassuming man with the appearance of a student rather than a man engaged in commercial pursuits. There are now no free homesteada> to be had in this district, and farm hands are worth from $20 to f40 per acre, which a few years ago were secured by their present owners, either as a free gift or purchased at from $5 to $J3 peY acre. It Is not many miles from Rosthern, where the farmer-Jives, who secured the first prize for wheat last year at the National Corn Exposition at Columbus and West of Rosthern, about lpO miles, lives Messrs.

"He thought he was dealing with Christie Maclaire. He bad some reason for getting her away; getting her where he could exerclBe influence over her." "Yea—yes; but who is Bhe?" "That is what makes the matter so hard to unravel. She doesn't even know herself. Hawley is going to take advantage of her Ignorance in this respect, and convince her that she is the person he wishes her to represent-—but who is the person? If we knew that we might block the game-" Both sat silent, striving to figure out some reasonable explanation. "Do you know of any special papers your father carried?" he asked. "No; none outside his business agreements." "Has any one ever disappeared connected with your family? Did you have an older sister?" /'Fred and I were the only children. Why should you ask that question?" "Because something of that nature would seem to be the only* rational explanation. Your brother must have told Hawley something—some family secret—which he felt could be utilized to his own advantage. Then he saw your picture, and was immediately reminded of the remarkable resemblance between you and Christie Maclaire. Evidently this discovery fitted into bis plan, and made it possible for him to proceed. He has been trying evsr since to get an interview with the -woman, to sound her, and Ilud out what lie can do with her. He has written letters- sufficiently exbring him here. He would tell yoti whatever it was he told Hawley, and that will give us the clue." He picked up his hat from the table, but she rose to her feet, holding forth her bands. "1 cannot thanfc you enough, «Captain Keith," she exclaimed frankly. "You are doing so much, and with no personal interest—" "Oh, but I have." The long lashes dropped over the brown eyes. "What do you mean?" "That I have a personal interest—in yqu, Hope." She stood silent, her bosom rising and falling to rapid breathing. "You don't mind my calling you Hope? I haven't got used to Miss Walte yet." Her eyes met his swiftly. "Of course, not,. Such ceremony would be foolish after all you have done for me. Do—do you call her Christie?" He laughed, clasping her hands closer. "1 assure you no—she is stfictly Miss Maclaire, and." solemnly, "shall t e to the end of the chapter." "Oh, well, I didn't care, only that was what you called her when you were telling me what she said. Are you going?" "Yes, to find Fred; the sooner we can get this straightened out, the better."

I the girl who held the door open for his passage Tilth one hand, her other clasped in hie. Interested before, yet forcing himself into indifference now that he knew who she really waa, the man made full aurrender. It was a struggle that kept him from claspini the slender figure in his arms, and pouring forth the words of teaderness which he sternly choked back. This was neither the time, nor the place, yet his eyes must have spoken, for Hope's glance fell, and her cheeks grew crimson. "I do not need to pled|e you to return this time, ao I?" she questioned, her voice trembling. "No," he answered, "nor any time The bail was deserted, but a few men loitered tn the office. Keith recognised none of the faces, and did not atop to, make any inquiries of the dark. It was growing dark, the lights already burning, and from the plashtag of dropf on*the window, it must be raining outside. Hawley would surely have ended bis call upon Miss Maclaire long before thl#, and left the hotel. However iBtereettftg his com* mtmieatton might have proven, see aajiet nUAer.eTaaiai for supper and rest- As to the result of that interview there could be little doubt. Providing the gambler possessed the proper papers he would have small difficulty in convincing the girl that she was indeed the one Bought Keith had probed sufficiently into her mind to feel assured that her inclination was to sida.with Hawley. Under all the circumstances' this was natural enough, and he did not blame her. He glanced into the bar-room as be passed, not in any anticipation, but merely from the vigilance which becomes second nature- upon the frontier. Hawley stood leaning against the bar, where he could see any one passing through the hall. The eyes of the two men met, but the gambler never moved, never changed his attitude, although*Keith noted that his right hand was hidden beneath the skirts of his long coat. The plainsman drew back, facing his enemy, until he reached the outer door. There was a sneer on Hawley's dark sinister face like an invitation, but a memory of the girl he had just left, and her dependence upon him, caused Keith to avoid an encounter. He would fight thfs affair out In a different way. As the* door opened and he slipped forth into the gloora, he brushed against a man apparently Just entering. The gleam of light fell for an instant upon the face of the other—it wya ticotty with the> rtd moustactie. They had been watching for him then—what for? Hawley on the inside, and this man Scott without, were waiting to determine when he left the hotel; would 'probably dog his footsteps to discover where he went. Keith loosened his revolver, so as to be assured he could draw quickly, and slipped back into the shadow of the steps, his eyes on the door of the hotel. There was a cold, drizzly rain tailing, the streets almost deserted, appearing sodden and miserable where the lights shone forth through saloon windows. One or two men, seeking supper, coat collars turned up and bats drawn low over their eyes, climbed the rickety steps and went in, but no one came out. Perhaps he was mistaken as to the purpose of those fellows; they may have desired merely to know when he left, or Scott's return Just at that moment might have been an accident. To be sure, the hotel possessed a back exiU but he could not cover both ends of the building, and muBt take Ms chuhces. It wa3 too wet and disagreeable to remain crouched there, now •thttt-H-w^B-_evtd'ein~th"e'ro~wM'~"ho"Thtentlon of following him. With hand on the butt of his gun, suspicious and watchful, yet with «ecarcely a faster beat to his heart, Keith straightened tip, and began splashing bis way through the mud down the street, He knew where Wllloughby would be most likely found at this hour—with cronies' -at the "Tenderfoot"—and Ire meant to discover the boy, and make him confess to Hope the truth. Matters had now reached a point where longer delay was dangerous. Sheridan was seemingly dead, the long street silent, gloomy, black, except for those streams of saloon light shining across pools of water. A few wanderers ploughed through the muck, dim uncertain shapes appearing and vanishing in the gloom. He had gone a block and over, the struggle against the elements leaving him forgetful of ail else, when a man reeled out of some dimly lit shack to his right, and staggered drunkenly forward a few feet In advance. He could barely distinguish the fellows's outlines, giving little thought to the occurrence, for the way was unusually black along there, the saloon opposite having shades drawn. Suddenly a flash of red fire spurted Into the night, with a sharp report. It waa so close at hand it blinded him, and he flung up one arm over his eyes, and yet, In that single instant, he perceived the whole picture as revealed by the red name. He saw the man in front go down in a heap, the projection of the building from behind which the shot came, the end df a wagon sticking forth Into the street which bad concealed the assassin. The blinding flash, the shock ot that sudden discharge, for a moment held him motionless; then he leaped forward, revolver In hand, sprang around the end of the wagon, and ruahed down the dark allay between two buildings. He could see nothing, but some one was running recklessly ahead of Him, and be fired (n the direction of the sound, the leaping apurt of flame yielding a dim outline %f the fugutive. Three times he pressed the trigger; then there was nothing to shoot at—the fellow had faded away Into the black void of prairie. Keith stood there baffled, staring about into the gloom, tha smoking revolver in his hand. The sound of men's voices behind waa all that reached him, and feeling the uaelessnese of further pursuit, he retraced his way tack through the narrow passage.'

Another appropriate placement is the funny snow man with his black stovepipe hat aud beady eyes. He, too, ran be made in a large shse and used for the center piece.

Some of the very be£T dolls are made in Sonneburg,. Germany, which has an academy of design. This school was established In 1851, and its model room contains many excellent pieces of sculpture nnd rare old prints. Modeling dolls is no easy task, and it is remarknbH- what perfect figures the students of this school are able to turn out. Molds are made from the models and from these leaden patterns the heads, anus and legs are turned out. *a special machine being used for stamping the hands. The factories, especially the l^neading room, arc hot and filled with steam, and for this reason the big, brawny Germans who knead the mixture wear as few clothes as possible while at work. Fasting at Christmas. When Cromwell ruled England be issued nn edict against all festivities at Christmas. The festival was altogether abolished, and the display of holly and mistletoe and other emblems of the happy time held to be seditious. In 1644 the Long parliament commanded that Christmas day should be observed as a strict fast, when all people should think over and deplore the great sin of which they and their forefathers had been guilty in making merry at that season. This act so provoked the people that on the following natal day the law was violently resisted in many places. Though these scenes were disgraceful, they served their purpose a«d put an end to an unjust order. When Charles II. regained the throne the popalaee once more mads Christmas a time of rejoicing.

Washington, Dec. 4.—That the interoats ot national defense require that control of railway Hues should rest yfith the federal government and not •with the states was the claim advanced by Alfred P. Thorn, counsel to the Railway Executive*' Advisory Committee, In concluding 61s preliminary statement of the case for the railways before the Newlands Joint -Committee on Interstate Commerce. *We must be efficient as a nation if We are to deal successfully with our national emergencies," said Mr. Thorn, "and vre must appreciate that efficient transportation Is an essential condition ot national efficiency. If we are to halt and weaken our transportation ayatems- by state lines, by the permanent Imposition of burdens by unwise regulation, we will make national efficiency Impossible." states' Rights Would Net Suffer. Mr. Thorn cited many instances in n h k h shippers In one state were injuriously affected by selfish resrulattata Imposed on the railroads by iielfhboring states. He pointed out teat federal regulation would be no in vasion of the rights of the states but would be the means of preserving the rlgnts which they acquired when they entered the Union, one of which was the right to.the free movement of their products across state boundaries. What the Railroads Advocate. The principles which the railroads believa should be incorporated In any just system of regulation were sum marized by Mr. Thorn as follows: 1. The entire power and duty of regulation should bo In the hands of the national government, except as to matters so essentially local and Incidental that they cannot be used to Interfere with the efficiency of the service or the just rights of the furriers. 2.

It should bo made the duty of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the exercise of its powers to fix reasonable rates, to so adjust these rates that they shall be just at once to the public and to the carriers. To this end the Commi^iion, tn determining rates, Should consider the necessity of main* taining efficient transportation and extensions of facilities, the relation of expenses to rates and the rights of shippers, stockholders and creditors of the roads. 6, Ifbe Interstate Commerce Commls Blon should be mvested with the pow er to fix the rates for "carrying mails. 7, The federal government should have exclusive power to supervise the Issue of stocks and bonds by railroad carriers engaged in interstate and foreign commerce. 8, The law should recognize the essential difference between things which restrain trade in the case of ordinary ntile cjjpcerns end those which rain trwfe in the case of common rlers. The question of competition ot the only fair criterion. 0 . l i s t law should expressly provide Ineeting and agreement of trafer officers of railmads in rerates or practices.

The Federal Bureau of Education include* in Ha rule* to promote health among the Nation's school children, the warning that children should not drink coffee or tea. / The reason is well known* Coffee and tea contain drugs which stimulate and often overexcite the nerves, and so upset health. The harm is by no means confined to children, as any doctor can tell you. If health la valuable to childhood, it is vain- •hie always. If harm to health should be avoided until bodies grow up, is it worth taking a chance with health when bodies have grown up?

It is probably true that these seasons of the soul, however fleeting, leave their mark. We are, perhaps, a bit more patriotic than we would be were it- not for the annual observance of Memorial day; a bit more consciously grateful than we would be were It not for the annual observance of u Thanksgiving day; a bit more religious than we would be were it not for the recognition of Lent and the observance of Easter day. And one would like to believe that we are a bit more kind than we would be were It not for the observance of Christmas. The' very -approach of Christmas has certain noticeable psychological effects. In 1914 it resulted in a temporary cessation of hostilities.

But in the case of many of us how faint that mark, and How liable it is to disappear. If only the kindly dispositions born at Christmas time could be perpetuated, how permanently different the world would become! Most of us become faint of heart when we think of rebuilding the life of the world. To build a world without any extremes of wealth and poverty in it, how difficult To build a world without any domestic tragedy ln it, how difficult. To build a world without any industrial friction or in* ternational strife in it, how difficult Many people are ready to Bay that It is quite impossible. Perhaps it is. Tet It would not be if only men and worn* en would keep on cultivating the dispositions that are born at Christmas time. What is needed for the rebuilding -^ctTurymte^y^taarTy^gretreqr new world organization is needed. A world that has been organized for war must be organized for peace. For the rebuilding of" the world better Instruments are needed. But what is supremely needed is a better spirit! If only you and I and all our neighbors would persistently cultivate the Christmas spirit, our children's children would live in a far better world. For then it would be only a question of time until we should discover the instruments needed for the fashioning of a fairer civilization, and we would be willing to use these instruments as soon as they could be developed. What a pity, then, if Christmas this year should come and go and leave none of us permanently different. We need to perpetuate the Christmas spirit in our homes. It is a solemn moment when two human lives are united for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, In sickness and in health, till death do them part. As Jane Welch Carlyle once said, "If ever one is to pray, if ever onp is to feel grave, if ever one Is to shrink from vain show and bubble, It is just on the occasion when two human beings bind themselves together till death do them part.** There is nothing that more nearly resembles the heaven of our dreams than does a happy home. Is there any» thing that so surely suggests the hell of our secret dread as does an unhappy home? What is needed to build a home? Money is needed, but how much more than money! Money can "" build a house—a wonderful and wonderfully furnished house. Only love can build a home. We need to perpetuate the Christmas spirit in Industry. For generations, now, the motive of profit has been the motive appealed to both in the case of men who had money to invest, and In the case of men who had strength or skill to in* vest, In the industries of the world. This motive of profit has been given a long trial. And it has failed—tragically failed Its fruitage is a world catastrophe, and, at this present moment world-wide unrest * Why not try the experiment of oppealing to a different.motive?

WThat If every man who learns a trade should say to himself: As a carpenter, or bricklayer, or type-setter, or molder, my primary object Is, to render service. I am entitled to a Just proportion of the product of my labor, and I hope to get it. But my first concern shall be to serve my community. Do you think that men are incapable of responding to any such motive as that? How, then, do you account' for the martyrdom of history? How do you account for the men who have given their lives to the pursuit of truth? Or for the women who have given their lives to the dissemination of knowledge? How do you account for the world's scientists and for its school teachers? And the men who made a rendezvous with death at Belleau wood and the Argonne forest— bow doj'oiLjicc^uftt-for them? There is a divinity in human hearts to which heroic unselfishness makes powerful appeal. Why not try the experiment of appealing to the nobler side of human nature? .The motive of profit has tragically failed. Why not appeal to the motive of service? We need to perpetuate the spirit of Christmas in international relationships. The nations of Christendom have been motived far more by Nietzsche's will to power than by Jesus' will to serve. Their conception Of greatness has been a pagan, not a Christian conception. The great nation has been thought of as a nation able to lord it over other nations, not as a nation eager to serve other nations. The proud symbols of the Wesjtsfen world have been swords and scepters, not basins and towels. But "Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!" Surely the meaning of this present hour is clear: Nations must do unto others as they would have other nations do unto them. Nations must enter into the world's life not merely to get something, but to give something, and, in some international association, even to risk something in the interest of wtorid justice and world peace. For the first time in history the nations of the world are looking consciously into the eyes of Jesus, and know It to be true that He alone has the secret of life.

Concerning the needs of American farmers the President -had t h i s to s a y : "Something more than tariff protec* tion la required by American agriculture* T o the farm has come) the earlier and t h e heavier burdens of readjustment There Is actual depression In our agricultural industry, while agricultural prosperity Is absolutely essential t o t h e general pros* perity of the country. "Congress h a s sought very earnestly to provide r e l i c t It h a s promptly given such temporary relief a s has been p o s - sible, but the call la insistent tor t h e Cirmanent solution. It is inevitable that rge crops lower the prices and short crops advance them. No legislation can cure that fundamental law. B u t there must be some economic solution for the excessive variation in returns for agricultural production.

These have proven very helpful to the co-operating communities in Europe. In Russia the co-operative community h a s become the recognised bulwark ot law and order, and saved individualism from engulfment in social paralysis. Ultimately they will be accredited with the salvation of the Russian state. "There is an appeal for this experiment. Why not try it? N o one challenges the right ot the farmer to a larger share of the consumers' pay for his product, no one disputes that we can not live without the farmer.

Merchant Marine Expansion. 4, "The expressed opposition of the adsalalstratlon to the abrogation ef certain commercial treaties proposed by the Jones' merchant marine act, on the grounds that to denounce them would "involve us In a chaos of trade relationships and add Indescribably to the confusion of the already disordered commercial world." t\ The expansion of the American merchant marine under an administration plan to be later submitted to congress which, while contemplating "no greater graft on the public treasury" than Is provided by the Jones act, "will appeal to the pride and encourage the hope of all the American people" in American shipping, flying the American flag. ft. Early enactment of the foreign debt funding bill that the administration may be clothed with ample authority to deal with the )11,000,000,000 foreign Indebtedness te the United States, which is now denied it and which is hindering readjustments among our debtors and—accomplishing nothing for ourselves. To Encourage Farmers. Systematic encouragement of agriculture by the development of adequate distribution and marketing facilities for agricultural products and the adoption of "cooperative marketing programs" for that purpose. t. The early termination of a "great volume of uneconomic and wasteful transportation" and a revision of "the existing scheme of adjusting freight rates" with adequate legislation to meet the serious railroad problems, so vitally affecting the welfare of the American people.

A m e r i c a n V a l u a t i o n , W h e n discussing the proposed tariff leftelatien the President said concerning a snueh debated feature: T h e r e is a manifest difference ef opinion about the American valuation. Many a a C e a s h a v e adopted delivery valuation a s the basis for collecting duties; that is, t h e y t a k e the cost of the Imports delivered a t the port ef entry a s the basis for levying duty. It is no radical departure. s i v i e w ef the varying conditions and the disordered state of money values, to provide for American- valuation, but there cannot be ignored the danger ef such a valuation brought t o the level of our o w n production costs, making our tariffs prohibitive. , _^ It might do s o la many Instances where imports ought t o be encouraged. I believe congress ought wsll to consider the desirability ef the only proinstng a l - ternative, namely, a provision authorising proclaimed American valuation, u n - der prescribed conditions, on any g i v e n list of articles imported. In this proposed flexibility, authorising t&creasee t o m e e t conditions so likely t o change, there also should be provision for decreases. A race may be just today, and entirely out of proportion a t s months from today. dent that u n l e s s relief Is the l o s s of life will extend into the millions.

FOWLERVILLK—When the proposition of the Edison Co. was made to the village council an agreement wai reached vhereby the council and the company mutually agreed to have the state commission thoroughly examine I the plant and fix the valuation, which1 would be accepted as a basis of the deal by both parties. The representatives of the cuwroision have been here at different times and have made a careful survey of the plant and its ramifications and last week fixed the price at $12,500, which seems to be pretty generally satisfactory and the probabilities are that the proposition of its sale .to the Edison Co. will be submitted to the voters of the village fpr their acceptance or rejection at some time in the near future.—Review.

Both were arraigned before Justice FOWLERY1LLE—Some of our county papers are rather smiling to think that the county officers made a raid on Fowlerville recently and cleaned up a couple of gambling places and grubbed a couple of bootleggers, but shucks, there is really no cause for their getting proud because they have not yet been raided, for there is a large amount of talk to the effect that the county seat has us beaten a mile on gambling stock, and in fact two of their citizens were caught in the raid here, and Brighton has furnished the county with a murder trial caused by losses in a crap game in that village refusing to pay his loss a few weeks ago.

A well arranged program was carried out. Plans were also made for a membership drive. At this meeting about forty people signed up as members of the club. * Monday night someone entered the meat market of Leach and Downer and secured a small amount of pennies that had been left in the cash box. Entrance was gained by breaking window glass in the stairway entrance to the market and was evidently the work of a small sized person. This is the second time the market has been entered since it was opened. The common council at their meet* ing Monday evening decided to change the time next Sunday from Central to Eastern Standard time. This .action was taken as a result of the mail vote that was cast by a majority of voters of this place. The vote was as follows: for Eastern time, 200; Central time, 28; to have the time remain six months of the year on Central time for the winter, and Eastern time for the summer, 27. —Standard.

From the Petoskey Kvening News There arc two ways .by which taxes for'rural school maintenance eiui In kept at the present level or at least prevented from mounting much higher. The one is for the community through their representatives, the school board, to assume the feeling that our schools in the country are of a high standard already and that any further increase in expenditure will be wasteful. This attitude is by no means the general rule but in many communities it is only too true. Nothing adds more to the obstruction of the onward march of education than for such a feeling to become popular. It is now almost universally admitted that the education of the mind is a growth and that a man's education ceases when lie becomes unwilling to give consideration to new ideas.

We must admit, however, that these requirements add to the expense as well. Th second method and lojncl one for schools in outlying districts to t'ol- j low, is to consolidate wtib a village <>r city school if within reasonable div tance, and if not, then with adjacent districts. The same milk tester can be used to demonstrate before fifty as well as five; the same library hook cun as well spend most of its time in the hands of-the "pupils iTs~on the' shelf; and a teacher will be enabled to accomplish vastly more teaching thirty pupils in one or two grades than the same number in eight. The federal government and the state are willing to help pay the expense of maintenance when the consolidation has been completed.

Qay bungalow Caps One of the easiest ways for dressing up the house at holiday time Is to make lamp, candle and electric light shades or lanterns of crepe or tissue paper and tinsel. To make the small lantern pictured two rings of cardboard are covered with plain black or gold paper pasted over them. A length of light green tissue paper is folded along the center, slashed into narrow strips and pasted inside the rings. Under this a length of rose-colored crape paper narrower than the green Is poited; this causes the strips of green paper to spread and stand out 8ilver tinsel hangs from the wire handle at each side.

Eamon de Valera, leading the revolt of the extremists against the treaty, has declared the terms of the agreement "in violent conflict to the wishes of the majority of the Irish nation as expressed freely in successive elections for the past three years.

CHECKING UP ON DELINQUENTS About $400,000 Still Due From Corporations of State. Lansing—Following the supreme court decision, establishng the validity of the state corporation tax> law, a special force of clerks in the department of state is busy checking up delinquent corporations. It is estimated by the department officials that In the neighborhood of $400,000 is still due the state from corporations which failed to pay at the prescribed time. Penalties including suspension of corporate rights in extreme cases and a fine of $100 plus an additional penalty of $5 for each day of deliquency, Marquette,—Warden Theodore B. Catlin and three of hie staff at the State House of Correction and Brandt Prison here were stabbed In a fight with Arthur "Gypsy Bob" Harper, Jasper Perry and Charles Roberts, Detroit long-term inmates, who started a riot in the prison chapel Sunday morning by attacking the warden during a moving picture show. The victims of Harper's fresh out? break of vengeance toward the admin* istration of the prison are lying in a local hospital in a serious condition. Catlin was wounded nine times by the convict's knife. The deputy was cut and beaten badly. Young Menhennit was stabbed through the lung. All have been placed under the care of the best physicians in this city. In solitary confinement, awaiting flogging, that has been ordered by Charles Blaney, chairman of the prison commission, are Harper, Jasper Perry, lifer, and Charles Roberts, a 20-year man, both of Detroit, who assisted Harper. So surprised was the warden at the attack that his efforts to counter the criminal's passes with the knife were futile. Catlin went down. Prisoners stampeded, while the more loyal ones came to the rescue of the endangered officials. Harper directed his attack at the warden, against whom he has harbored a dislike since he was denied a transfer to Jackson Prison after his sensational escape from the institution here recently. The other prisoners leaped at Menhennit and his son. Rioting continued until Charles Muck, a guard on the outer wall, was summoned by Sam Foard, a lifer. "Stand back," Muck cried, "or HI shoot the first man that makes a false move.** Muck's order backed the convicts Our Northern Neighbor.

Lucas, of Cayley, repeating what he did last/year. In wheat there were 25 first prizes to be awarded; Canada got 28 of them. The greatest interest was shown when the horse classes were called. Here also Canada stood well to the front. The Percheron entries showed that Canada breeders were popular and successful exhibitors. Championships were awarded to a number, ant first prizes were common. The same may be said of Clydesdales.

CHAPTER III—Continued. There was something to Incredibly menacing in the soft, quiet voice that Drummond looked at the speaker fascinated. He had a sudden feeling that he must be dreaming—that In a moment or two he would wake up and find that they had really been talking about the weather the whole time. Then the cynical gleam of triumph in Peterson's eyes acted on him like a cold douche. "Your candor Is as refreshing," he Mtniallg "aa vmir sltrn^eg. "And la order to get b i n there, we most get rid of the watcher without How can we get rid of the bird—how can we, James, I aek yea? Why, by giving htm nothing further to watch for.

Ask him to come in and see me for a moment. Say, I'm thinking and daren't move." • Jamea rose obediently, and Drummond heard him cross over the passage to the other suite of rooms that lay on the same floor. Then he heard the murmur of voices, and shortly afterward his servant returned. "He la in his bath, sir, but he'll come over as soon as he's finished." He delivered the message and stood waiting. "Anything more, s i r r "Yea, James. I feel certain that there's a lot But just to carry on with, I'll have another .glass of beer." As the door closed, Drummond rose and started to pace up and down the room. The plan he had in his mind was simple, but he was a man who believed in simplicity. "Peterson will not come himself— nor will our one and only Henry.. Potts has not been long in the country, which la all to the good. And if it fails—we shan't be any worse off than we are now. Luck—that's all; and the more you tempt her, the kinder she is." He was still talking gently to himself when Peter Darrell atroUed into the room. "Can this thing be true, old boy," remarked the newcomer. "I hear you're in the throes of a brain-storm." "I am, Peter. I want you to help me.M "All that I have, dear old flick, is yours for the asking. What can I do?" "Well, first of all, I want you to come along and s e e the household pet." He piloted'Darrell along the passage to the American's room, and approvingly. "To think there are still people who think military service a waste of t i m e r he murmured. "Four years ago you couldn't have got one word of It right" He dismissed Denny, and sat down at hie desk. First he took the halftorn sheet out, of his pocket, and putting It in an envelope, sealed <H Harmfully. Then he placed it in another envelope, with a covering letter to his bank, requesting them to keep the inclosure Intact Then he took a sheet of notepaper, and with much deliberation proceeded to pen a document which afforded him considerable amusement judging by the grin which appeared from time to time on his face. This effusion he also enclosed in a sealed envelope, which he again addressed to his bank. Finally, he stamped the first but not the second—and placed them both in bis pocket. With the departure of the Dennys for Paddlngton, which coincided most aptly with the return of Peter Darrell, a period of activity commenced in Half Moon street But being interior activity, Interfering in no way with the placid warmth of the street outside, the gentleman without, whom a keen observer might have thought strangely interested in the beauties of that well-known thoroughfare—seeing thai he had been there for three hours —remained serenely unconscious of it. His pal had followed the Dennys to Paddlngton. Drummond had net come out—and the watcher who watched without was beginning to get bored. About 4:30 he sat up and took notice as some one left the house; but it was only the superbly dressed young man whom he had discovered already was merely a clothes-peg calling himself Darrell The sun was getting low and /the shadows were lengthening when a drove up to the door. Immedia the watcher drew closer, only to stop doctor said no alcohol and very little meat" His voice died away, and he rose slowly to his feet In the open door four men were standing, each with a peculiar-shaped revolver in his hand. "What the devil," cried Drummond furiously, "la the meaning of this?" "Cut it out." cried the leader contemptuously. ' "These guns are silent If you utter—you die. Do you get me?" The veins stood out on Drummond's forehead, and he controlled himself with an Immense effort "Are you aware that this man is a guest of mine, and sick?" he said, his voice shaking with rage. "You don't say,** remarked the leader, and one of, the others laughed. "Rip the bed-clothes off, boys, and gag the young cock-sparrow." Before he could resist, a gag was thrust in Drummond's mouth and his hands were tied behind his back. Then, helpless and impotent he watched three of them lift up the man from the bed, and putting a gag in his mouth also, carry him out of the room. "Move," said the fourth to Hugh. "Ton Join the picnic." A large car drove up as they reached the street and in less time than It takes to tell, the two helpless men were pushed 1&, followed by the leader; the door was shut and the car drove off. "Don't forget" he aaid to Drummond suavely, "this gun is silent You had better be the same." At one o'clock the car swung up to The Elms. For the last/Ten minutes Hugh had been watching the invalid ID the corner, who was m efforts to loosen his ga were rolling horribly, an om side to side in bis _ bandages round his hands held firm and at last he gave it up. Even when he was lifted out and israen gently, aftst a knew you had a s ! » « • ' Drummond leaned back hi his cmaft and regarded his host with a fatal smile. "I must come to yea far toes tins, Mr Peterson. Though I frankly admit" he added genially, "that 1 have never been brought up to regard the forcible abduction of a harmless individual anal a friend who la sleeping off the effect! of what low people call a Jag as befog exactly typical of that admirable quel ity.M Peterson's glance rested on the dis hoveled man still standing by the door, and after a moment's thought he leaned forward and pressed a bell. "Take that man away," he said abruptly to the servant who came inte the room, •'and put him to bed. I will consider what to do with him In the morning." "Consider be d—d," howled Mul lings, starting forward angrily. "You'll consider a thick ear, Mr. Blooming Know-all. What 1 wants to know—** The words died away in his mouth, and he gazed at Peterson like a bird looks at a snake. There was something so ruthlessly malignant in the stare of the gray-Mue eyes that tho ex-soldier who had viewed going over the top with comparative equanimity as being part of his Job quailed and looked apprehensively at Drummond. "Do what the kind gentleman tells you, Mulllngs," Raid Hugh, "and go to bed." He ut a cigarette, and thoughtfully blew out a cloud of smoke. ^- "Stop this fooling," snarlec?MF*eterson. "Where have you hidden I'otts?" "Tush, tush," murmured Hugh. "You surprise me. I had formed such n charming mental picture of you, Mr. Peterson, as the strong, silent man who never lost his temper, and here you are, disappointing me at the beginning of our acquaintance.** For a moment he thought that Peterson was going to strike'hi.ts. and his own fist clenched undpr the table.

He even smiled: ot.*r the ceaseless tapping of Ids hand or his left knee betrayed his momentary loss of composure. Drummond's fls unclenched, and he stole a look at the girl.

He might have been an ordinary visitor taking his leave. And then suddenly from the room outside which Denny was dnsting there came a low moaning and an Incoherent babble. A Quick frown passed over Drummond's face, and Peterson regarded him thoughtfully "An Invalid in the house?" he remarked. "How inconvenient for you !" He laid his hand for a moment on the soldier's arm. "I sadly fear you're going to make a fool of yourself. And -It—wJlL_be_such a_plty.'' He turned toward' the stairs. "Don't bother, please; I can find my own way out.* THREE. Hugh turned back into his own room, and lighting a particularly noisy pipe, eat down in his own special chair. He was under no delusions as to the risks he was running. Underrating his opponent had never been a fault of his, either in the ring or In Prance, and he had no intention of beginning now. The man who could abduct an American millionaire, and drug him till he was little better than a baby, and then use a thumbscrew * » < to enforce his wishes, was not likely to prove over-scrupulous in the future. After a while he began half-unconeclously to talk aloud to himself. "Two alternatives, old buck,** he remarked, stabbing the air with hit pipe. " O n e - give the Potts bird up at Berners street; two—do not Number one— out of court s t once. Preposterousabsurd. Therefore—number two holds the Sold." He rang the bell. "Jsmes," he said, as the door opened, "take a piece of paper and a pencil—if there's one with a point— t a d s i t down at the table, rm going to thing, and Td hate to miss out. anything." • His servant complied, and for a while silence reigned.

What's the matter with him?" he cried. "I would give a good deal to know," said Hugh grimly. Then he smiled reassuringly at the motionless man, and led the way back to the sittingroom. "Sit down, Peter," he said. "Get outside that beer and listen to me carefully." For ten minutes he spoke, while his companion listened In silence. Gone completely was the rather vacuousfaced youth clad in a gorgeous dressing- gown ; in his place there sat a keen-faced man nodding from time to time as a fresh point was made clear. At length Hugh finished. "Will you do It old man?" he asked. "Pf course," returned the other. "But wouldn't It be better. Hugh," be said pleadingly, "to whip up two or three of the boys ard have a real scrap? I don't seem to have anything to do." Drummond shook his head decidedly. "No, Peter, my boy—not this show. We're up against a big thing; and If you like to come with me, I think you'll have all you want In the scrapping line before you're finished. But this time, low cunning is the order." Darrell rose. *Rlght you are, dearie. Tour instructions shall be carried out to the letter. Come and feed your face with me." "Not today," said Hugh. T v e got quite a bit to get tnrougn this alternoon." As soon as Darrell had gone, Drum* mond again rang the bell for his servant T h i s afternoon, James, you and Mrs. Denny will leave here and go to Paddlngton. Go out by the front door, and should you find yourselves being f l o w e d — a s you probably will h e - keep your heads.

Now jest repeat what rvo eotd you." ^ "What the Devil," Cried Drummond Furiously, "Is the Meaning of This?" with a faint smile as he saw two men get out of i t One was the immaculate Darrell; the other was a stranger, and both were quite obviously what in the vernacular Is known as oiled. "You prisheless ole bean," he heard Darrell say affectionately, "thlsh blinking cabsh my show." The other man hiccoughed assent and leant wearily against the palings. "Right," he remarked, "ole friend of mo youth. It shall be ash you wish." With a tolerant eye he watched them tack up the stairs, singing lustily in chorus. Then the door above closed, and the melody continued to float out through the open window. Ten minutes later he was relieved. It was quite sn unostentatious relief; Another man merely strolled past him. And since there wns nothing to report he merely strolled sway. He could hardly be ezpe^ed to know that up in Peter Darrell's .sitting-room, two perfectly sober youn;; men were contemplating with professional eyes an extremely drunk gentleman tinging in a chair, and that mie of those two sober young men was Peter Darrell. Then further Interior activity took place in Half Moon street and as the darkness felt silence gradually settled on the house. Ten o'clock struck, then eleven—' sad the silence remained unbroken. It was not tin ^fevep-thlrty taat a sudden small sound made Hugh Drummond sit up in his chair, with every nerve alert It c a n e from the direction of the kitchen—and It was the sound he bad been waiting for. , Swiftly he opened his door aad passed along the passage te where the sjetioaless man lay still la hesV "Hiram C.

"Ah 1 my young friend," cried Peterson affably, "I hardly thought you'd give me such an easy run as this." He put hla hand into Drummond's pockets, and pulled out his revolver and a bnudle of letters. T o your bank," be murmured. "On! surely, surely not that as well. Not even stamped. Ungag him, Irma—and untie his hands. Sly very dear young friend—you pain me." "I wish to know, Mr. Peterson," said Hugh quietly, "by what right this dastardly outrage has been committed. A friend of mine, sick in bed—removed, abducted in the middle of the night: to say nothing of me." With a gentle laugh Irma offered h4n+-a-cigarette. "Man Dieu '" she remarked, "but you are most gloriously ugly, my Hugh!" Peterson, with a faint smile, opened the envelope in his hand. And, even as he pulled out the contents, he paused suddenly and the smile faded from-his face. From the landing upstairs came a heavy crash, followed by a flood of the most appalling language. "What the h—1 do you think you're doing, you fiat-faced son of a Maltese goat? And where the h—1 am I, anyway?" "I must apologize for my friend's bating society," remarked Hugh reuil- "rtlscently. "But I was never much good. I'm too obvious for argument I'm afraid." "You probably realhte from Wfc«< has happened tonight." continued Pe terson. "that I am in earnest." "I Khould be sorry to think so." an swered Hugh. "If that Is the beet you can do, I'd cut it right out and start a tomato farm." The girl gave a little gurgle cf laughter and lit another rlpnrette. "Will you come and do the danger ous part of the work for us, Mn*«leui Hugh?" she asked. r "If you promise to restrain the little fallows, I'll water them with phase re." returned Hugh lightly. Peterson rose and walked over 3* the window, where he stood motionless, staring out into the darUnea* Hugh renlteed that trie situation was "what In military phraseology~nilght h« termed critical. There were In tht house probably hall a dozen men who, like their master, w\re absolutely uu scrupulous.

Besides, he was, I regret to state, quite wonderfully drunk earlier this evening, and Just as he was sleeping it off these desperadoes abducted him." • The next moment the door burst open, and an infuriated object rushed in. Hi* face was wild, and his hand was bandaged, showing a great red stain on the thumb. A "What's this—Jest?" he howled fmfl-1 ously. "And this d—d bandage all covered with red ink?" "Yota must ask my friend hers, MuWmja^said Hugh. "He's got s peculiar sense of humor. Anyway, he's got the bill in his hand." In silence they watched Peterson open the paper and read the contents, while the girl leaned over his shoulder. To Mr. Peterson, Qodslmiag.

They found Petoskey a straggling Indian village, with positively no accommodations for visitors, but as time went on and »ieople continued to go there each year for hay fever, it gradually grew into a flourishing up-to-date town with several thousand inhabitants.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. ^ LEGAL NOTICES MORTGAGE SALE , r . llefault having been made in the *»ndttJ©na of a certain mortgage . €ltereby the power therein contained to n.V. has become operative made by Alf «*ft Bowhall and Eunice Bowhall, his of Howell, Michigan, to the First & Savings Bank of Howell, Mich- v „,,„„„ ~ - drtteVi April 2. 1920 and recorded [ v*?4i"„V "^haf*'»^V""U There is claimed to be due at the date of this notice the sum of two hundred eight dollars and ninety-one cents (9208.91) and no proceeding at law or equity having been instituted to recover the debt secured by said mortgage on any part thereof, notice is therefore hereby given that on Friday the third day of March, 1922 at one o'clock (central standard time)^ in the afternoon of said day at the west front door of the court house in the City of Howell, Livingston County, twenty-three feet and six inches to the south line of the Ann Arbor railroud right of way? thence southeasterly along said right of way to a point one hundred thirty-two feet east of the east line of National Avenue; thence south forty-nine feet to the south line of lot nineteen; thence west one hundred thirty two feet to the place of beginning.
