The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1895-11-14

The London Spectator puts out new
and rather startling view of the Monroe
Doctrine. In effect, it is that England
settle up the Venezuelan boundary bus
mess quickly and amicably, and give a
hearty support to the Monroe Doctrine.
She would gain immensely by this, as she
is the second largest power in America"
and would thereby gain the United
States guarantee of Canada, the West
Indies, ETC., from attack by any other
nation with which England might be at
war. There is a great deal in this. IF
England should become embroiled with
France and Russia over China, the Rus
sian fleets would certainly make an
attempt ON British Columbia, and the
French would find an objective in ia
maica, and other British West Indies
If, though, the United States should
apply the Monroe Doctrine, both Russia
and France would be warned of, and
England, leaving her possessions to our
care, would be able to concentrate all her
naval strength on other detectives.

ONE of the unforeseen results of the
Republican success in Maryland is that
the new Governor will have an enormous
number of places at his disposal. In
Maryland, as in the other Southern
States, the tendency has been to reduce
the number of elective offices, and put as
many of them as possible under the
Governor, which gave the ring of poll
ticians thorough control. The plea for
this was the fear of niger domination"
This was particularly absurd in Mary
land, where the negro population is
scarcely one-fourth the white. The exact
figures, according to the census of 1890,
were 824,149 whites, and 218,004 ne
groes. 1t is probable that the new
Legislature will correct this evil by re-
storing great number of offices to the
control of the people.

Past Commander-in-Chief John Palmer
ought to be particularly proud of his achieve
ment at the last election. In 1898 the Repub.
licans of New York put him at the head of their
ticket as a candidate for Secretary of State.
The outlook WAS far from promising, as the
Democrats had carried New York the previous
year by big majority, and swept the country.
Many regarded Comrade Palmer as sacrificing
himself to lead fororn hope But when the
votes we're counted it was found that he had
carried everything, receiving 545, OO3 votes to
520,614 for his Democratic opponent-a ma

the Republicans had after the disaster of 1892.

LARGEST MIRROR
Successfully Placed in a New
York HOtel.
The Huge Glass is More Than Twelve
Feet Square and the Object
of Much Interest.

The largest mirror ever brought to this
country stands in the dining room in the
new wing of the Hotel Savoy, says
New York paper. 1t occupies about the
entire end of the rooTn and gives the
impression that it is big arch leading
into large apartment.
The mirror was brought here week
ago on the steamer Friesland Jacques
Kahn, the importer had his doubts If
this particular mirror would ever be
where it is now for the work of hand
ling 1t was one of the greatest difficulty.
The monster glass could not be brought
over from Jersey City, where the freight
of the steamer was discharged, upon a
ferry boat, so a lighter was chartered
especially for 1t. At the foot of Des-
Brosses street the big packing case was
transferred to low truck, and after a
long, slow pilgrimage 1t reached the door
of the Hotel Savoy.
DOORS IN THE WAY.
The doors of the Hotel Savoy were
then found to be in the way The storm
door was removed and also the two big
double doors of the front entrance. The
plate is IL feet high and 12h feet long,
and the packing case which contained 1t
was foot larger each way.
The unweldy package could not be
taken through the entrance until II had
been tilted and showed along in dag
onal fashion. 1t took thirty-sx skilled
workmen to introduce the glass into the
hotel corridor.
In the dining room a scaffold had been
erected filling the south side of the room.
The packing case was trundled in on
wooden rollers and leaned against the
scaffold, wen the lid was removed. The
frame was already prepared, but then
came the tug of war. The plate was
lifted out by means of straps, inch by
inch, and slowly placed in the bedding OF
felt in the bottom Of the frame.
BREATHED FREELY AGAIN
The workmen felt as though they had
won a hard-fought fight when II was ar
over. The contract with the proprietors
of the hotel stipulated that the glass
must be without flaw and must be
placed in position. and the importer cal
culated on breaking a glass or two be-
fore filling his contract, but one trial was
sufficient.
The mirror is of the finest French plate,
and is half an inch in thickness. The
hotel managers examined II critically ana
pronounced 1t TO be without flaw. Sew
eral Attempts to produce a fiawless glass
| of the size were made before the manu-
! facturers were satisfied. This glass was
made by the factory at st. Gobain.
/ which is the Oldest and largest factory
in Europe. The frame looks like mala-
chite, and is lined with gilt

WEDDING AT JEWEL.

Jewell, Nov. 2S.-To the Editor.-At noon
today the marriage of Miss Rrhv T"stor

in the presence of a large n-i. be. OF
relatives and friends at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. I. NJ Fos-
ter. Rev. DR.. Ray, of Mist, ofiiclated.
The bride, very prettily attired in con-
ventional white, wore as ornaments nat
ural roses of cream tint fastened with
a pearl pin, the gift of the groom. A
cream-tinted chrysanthemum boutoniere
worn by the groom added to the elegance
Of his appearance.
At the conclusion of the ceremony con-
gratulations were many and sincere.
Following these came a delicious wedding
dinner-a dinner of which the guests
found means to amply prove their ap-
probation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Prescott will make their
future home in this valley, where Mrs.
Prescott has lived since early infancy,
and where she is highly esteemed, both as
a most estimable lady and a successful
teacher. Mr. Prescott, though claiming

large circle of acquaintance, who, one
and all, will join with your correspondent

HANDY RITING ON WALL
Gladstone Cannot Speak at the

SENDS LETTER OF REGRETS
Says the Armenian Atrocities, While

SENDS LETTER OF REGRETS

New York, Dec. 4.-The Press Club, OF
Chicago, has had an address from some
speaker of distinction in the Auditorium
every year for several years. They in
vited Mr.. Gladstone for 1896, and the
mayor of Chicago supplemented the re-
quest with a cordial letter, inviting Mr.
Gladstone and his family. These letters
were sent to Mr.. Depew to be forwarded
with personal letter from him.
In his reply Mr.. Gladstone regrets that
he cannot accept the invitation, owing
to his physical uniitness. and adds:
"I cannot too strongly express my sense
of the honor done me, and wish to add
that in my opinion no cause more sacred
and none more urgent, than that Of
the Armenians has ever been brought be-
fore the citizens of human and enlighten-
ed countries 1t is for the moment en-
veloped so far as the public is concern
ed, in uncertainty, but yet there are in
dications that the handwriting on the
wall, which warned an ancient despot OF
his coming doom, can again be traced
vfsibly enough to betoken some approach
ing crash of a system of government far
more impious and more iniquitous."

Makes a Contract for Mails in
Alaska.
WANTS THE YUKON RIVER
The Movement Unheard Of in Inter-
national Affairs Determined to
Possess the Territory.


Tacoma, Dec. 4.-The Canadian govern
ment has let contract for the carrying
Of mails from Juneau. Alaska, to Forty
Mile Creek, which is also in the territory
always claimed by the United States, but
which Canada is now asserting a claim
to-
II is said that for foreign country to
let a contract for the transmission OF
mails in the territory Of another govern
ment is something that is practically un-
heard Of In international affairs It
would seem that It would only mean that
the Dominion of Canada, Great BrItain's
dependency, is bound to uphold, at all
hazards, her claim to thnt strip Of terri
tory extending from and taking IN Jn-
neau, to the rich gold fields OF the yukon
river.
The contractors are Fred c. Gasch ana
f. c, Heanri, the latter being resident
OF Dyea, Alaska.
This move. following tho Canadian gov
ernment's sending OF detachment OF
mounted police to Forty Mile Creek, Is
taken as clearly Indicating that country's
determination TO possess tho disputed ter
rltory.
