PEACE IN THE PACIFIC.

This Country Bound to Become the
Leader of the Anglo-Saxon Race.
SAN Francisco, March 23.-In the
white book published at Berlin respecting
Samoan matters, Prince Bismarck refers to
the arrest of Gallien. an Englishman, by
the German consul at Apia for suggesting
that Mataafa should write to Sir George
Gray, ex-governor Of New Zealand, as to
the course the Samoans should pursue. Ex-
Gov. Gray, who Is held in great esteem IN
the colo les, when asked respecting
his views by the Auckland Herald as
to Samoa, said: "It would be far prefer
able to leave each Of these island groups
with independent governments, settling all
disputes among themselves by arbitration,
and guided, il possible, by a commissioner
Of the foreign powers. It is clear that
America is aiming at this line OF policy,
annexing none Of the islands herself, and
doing her utmost to preserve the peace of
the Pacific.
COOPERATION OF THE COLONIES.
"This also is certain to be the policy Of
all the English possessions in this part of
the world. America will eventually te-
come the leader of the Anglo-Saxon race,
and will displace England from the position
she now holds. Many eyes In this part of
the world are already being turned toward
America as the power that is likely to pre-
serve the interests of the Apglo-Saxon race
in the Pacific without herself annexing
anythi1g or allowing frreigners to do so.
1t is clear that the center of power among
the Anglo-Saxon race Is shifting to
America, as the center Of popula-
ton has already done. 1t is, there
fore, unwise Of England to neglect her in-
terests in such time OF emergency. The
United States does not require standing
army, and consequently the whole resources
of people so circumstanced could be de-
voted solely TO the maintenance Of a navy
which would make the Anglo-Slxon race
absolute masters Of the world"

DROPPED DEAD.

Mr. c. H. Field, of Alamo, dropped dead
last night about o'clock near his resi-
dence He was carpenter by trade and
had been working yesterday near the Gar
field University. He left for home at
O'Clock and stopping short time in the
city to attend to some business. took the
Riverside s. Suburban for home. He lived
about three blocks from the line and but a
short distance before reaching his house he
fell over and minute later was dead. No
one was with him at the moment but be
was seen fall by man a block away who
fastened to him and found him dead.
Mr.. Field has for some time been work
ing for Contractor P. NJ. Cochran, who was
seen last night on his way to visit the
home of the deceased. He stated that
Field was an excellent carpenter and had
many friends among his acquaintance.
He made no complaints yesterday of feel
ing badly and it is thought death resulted
from paralytic stroke.

FIGURING EARNESl,

Mr. B. II. Campbell stated yesterday
that City Railway Company had about
given up all hopes of the storage battery
system being made a success very soon
and had come to the conclusion that it
would be well to commence figuring on
some other system. In his opinion the
company would select either the Sprague
or the Tompson-Houston system and the
matter of selection is now being consid-
cred. In his opinion the selection
would be made in few weeks and the
council would be asked TO grant
franchise allowing the change On
this point he said he had no
fears that the coucil would hesitate
10 grant the franchise as he had understood
that change would be very acceptable to
the people of the city and hence would
urge the granting Of franchise for an cleo
trio line.
With the question of doing away with
mule power and substituting electric is
naturally considered the matter of putting
down new rails. 1t Is thought the cars OF
the company light TO carry the electric mo-
tors with by the way Of weight several
thousand pounds and should the cars be
able for the change it would be very doubt
flu if the light rails could stand the heavy
rolling stock without considerable work
being done increasing the number of ties.
Some of the stockholders seem TO think il
would be business 20 put down new and
heavy rails of regulation width for al the
line which is to be operated by electricity
In the event OF the change the ordinances
on the subject will require that some
thing else than the rail will be used

The school board junketing committee
has been heard from already. They have
gotten as far as Kansas City. across the
line One of the junkaters wrote TO a
member of the board in the city giving an
exhaustive account of their trip and full
report of their researches SO far. The SUBJ
stance of the report is that as to buildings,
heating and ventilating. They have not
found anything superior to what we have
in Wichita in either OF the points named.
No reference is made in the communlca-
ton to the question of superintendent, but
that was hardly to be expected inasmuch
as that is merely occidental o. matter.
Of course the committee Will continue
to swing around until the circle Is COM
pleted, but the more one thinks OF the
matter the more inopportune the sending
of the committee on the mission alleged
appears The first step. that OF ordering
an election to vote bonds, has not
yet been taken towards building the pro-
posed houses, and it has been limited loud
enough to reach this office that thu super
intendent question may have some bearing
on the bond question, Notwithstanding
the general willingness Of the taxpayers
of the city that the additional buildings
which are universally admitted to be nee
essary to promote the efficiency OF our
common school interests-shall be erected
without unnecessary dely. j. G. NJ g little
card in yesterdays EAGLE under the head

may be we'll for those having this matter
in charge to consider.

South Kansas Sugar company, was in the
city yesterday evening and he was much
SURPRISED at reading in the EAGLE of yes
terday that the Conway Springs Sugar

new machinery. 1t was his plant that re-
ceived the five car loads Of additional ma
chinery and no other, the one being re-
ferred to going out Of existence some time
ago.
He reported very heavy rain at his town
yesterday evening, accompanied by slight
hail, but most of the wheat having been
harvested no damage OF Importance &c

A PRESENTATION.

Yesterday was the forty-eighth birthday
of Officer Longmire, and he was kindly
remembered in Il way quite unexpected
and most highly appreciated by him.
Some of his friends, learning that his
birthday was approaching. went around
to the business men on his beat and soon
had enough raised to make the purchase
of beautiful ebony gold headed cane.
In the afternoon boy came running UP
to him and said that he was wanted inn
mediately at B. X. Browns. Under the
impression that he was needed in his
official capacity he started on a run.
When he had reached Mr.. Browns store
that gentleman stepped up to him and in
few neat and appropriate words pre-
sented him with the cane. He. replied as
we'll as he could under the circumstances
Upon the head of the cane is engraved
Presented to Officer James Longmire by
his friends, June Is, 1889"

ON EXCHANGE.

The following is taken from the Repub-
lie of yesterday:
st. Louis merchants were greeted yester-
day morning on the floor of the exchange
by delegation Of prominent citizens from
Wichita, who came as representatives or
| the board of trade of that city fer the pur-
pose of presenting the claims of Wichita
and urging the importance OF closer ccm-
mercial relations. The committee con-
sisted Of W. A Thomas, capitalist and
real estate owner; n. F. Niederlander,
banker and capitalist: NJ. W. Levy, presi-
dent of the Wichita National bank, and
NJ. VI. Murdoch, editor of the EAGLE. They
were warmly received by the merchants
and passed the morning in conversation
with the representatives OF the d terent
branches of trade. giving particular attep-
ton TO the elevator men and the grain ard
commission merchants. They explained
the recent action OF the Kansas railroad
commissioners in ordering reduction Of
freight rates from Wichita, which prac-
tically puts that city on the same basis as
Missouri river point. and gave
Louis and Wichita should encourage more
intimate business relations. They said
that ST Louis was the natural ally Of
Wichita, that that city should stand in
the same relation to st. Louis as Kansas
City to Chicago. The visitors We're heart
lily received ana gwen n great deat ueai OF
encouragement by the representatives of
st. Loui, business houses. The fact tn t
the FIR SEQ and the Missouri Pacific made
direct connection between the two cities
was dwelt upon anc given as a reason why
the trade OF Wi hita should come 10 ST.
Louis instead Of going TO Chicago which
was twice as far away. They said that in
five agricultural counties tributary to their
city from 40, 900, 900 TO 500o0,0 90 bushels Of
grain was annually harvested, and that
most OF it found its way to Chicago. con-
trary TO all rules which ordinarily govern
in such cases. Wichita has n populA-
ton of $1,000 souls, and is rapidly grow
ing. A good deal OF St Louis capital is
already invested there, John Whitaker
having packing house in that city which
has a capacity of 1000 hogs per day. Jacob
Dold, of Kansas City, also has an extern
sIye packing establishment there. The
delegation left for home last evening with
assurances from tie merchants that An
earnest effort would be made to increase
the trade relations between the cities Tue
| general trend of opinion seemed TO be that
all that was necessary TO bring about this
desirable result was little earnest and
organized effort On the part of merchants
in both towns

AGAIN READY FOR BUSINESS.

The Pennsylvania railroad, which was
so badly damaged by the recent floods in
Pennsylvania. have again resumed bust
ness and travel over the part of the road
which was the most severe sufferer. Mr..
Chas. Owens said that he received a letter
from one of the managers Of the road in
which it was stated that at least thirty
three miles of track had been literally car
ried away by the food; stone bridge which
had stood for years could not withstand
the food. The amount Of damages was
estimated at eleven million dollars, and a
force of 5000 men are kept constantly at
work repairing the damages. He received
a message yesterday stating that on and
after next Monday, June II, the Pennsyl-
vania railroad main line will be open for
business, and all regular trains except the
New York & Chicago limited express will
be resumed.
