An italian Betrothal.

In Italy q formal betrothal is consid-
cred almost US binding and sacred as
marriage itself, and breach of prom
Use, especially on tho girls side, is re-
garde& with intense indignation. A girl
who breaks her engagement is called q
civetta-an owlet possibly because
owlets are used in Italy as decoys fer
ensnaring other birds. The epithet
sticks to the girl for life and often
proves fatal to her matrimonial chances.

The Pl1fEl'fnl'S PROGRESS.
A little more than two hundred years
ago died IN England a noted for piety,
for firm yet orderly resistance to ecclesi-
astical tyranny, and as leader of his
sect. That he is remembered now is not
due to these things, but TO that he wrote
IL book called "The Pilgrims Progress.
The historian Maculay pays him this
tribute: Bred tinker, and afterwards
Il soldier, his education was that of 81
mechanic. He knew no language hut
the English as spoken by common peo.
pie. He had studied no model of com
position but the English translation Of
the bible: His spelling was poor. He
often broke the rules OF grammer. For
more than century, the Pilgrims Pro.
gress, though translated into several
foreign tongues. was known only to
cotter and artisans. At length critics
inquired where lay the secret of SO
wide and durable popularity, and
were compelled to own the despised
hook as really masterpiece Bunyan
is as decidedly the first of allegorists as
Demesthenes is the first of orators. @,

An Alliance Between America, Great
Britain and Japan Necessary to Avert .
Grave Crisis, tho Declaration OF q Great
Ambassador Statement Reviewed
and Its Faiacy Pointed Out-Jspan 10
COrea.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia recent dis.
patch from Paris states that an am.
bassador Of one OF the great powers
has expressed the belief that grave
crisis in the far east is imminent, and
that it can only be averted by an alli-
ance between the United States, Great
Britain and japan. The ambassador
is quoted as saying that "it is impos-
sible for the United States to remain
neutral, as they cannot aban don their
China trade to Russia without strug-
gle."
1t is of course difficult to obtain sn
expression of opinion concerning this
statement in an official quarter, but it
is easy to see that 1t is not credited by
these who have the best means Of ac-
curately judging the real trend OF af-
fairs in the east. They say that Rus
sia. strictly speaking, is not a CONNER
cial power and consequently there is
little if any probability of commercial
rivalry between her and the United
States. petroleum is her only 1com-
mercial export Of any Importance to
China and Japan and the preponder.
ance of Russian influence can make
little or no difference in the trade in
that article.
Japan's case is, of course, different,
but there is nothing in the present
situation to indicate that Japan Is
seeking an alliance with Russia or
Great Britain. In certain cases Rus
sian and Japanese interests might
clash in Corea, but the recent declara.
tion Of the Japanese government re.
garding its policy in that country
must have disarmed any possible jeal-
ously on the part OF Russia.
A precedent for the action OF the
Japanese might be taken if it were
needed in the fact that both Great
Britain and France stationed troops at
Yokohama for the protection OF lives
and property of their people during
the serious civil connections which
preceded the restoration and retained
them there for several years. But this
is minor point. The significant fact
is the Japanese government has sternly
repressed certain OF its over-zealous
officers and subjects in Corea, and has
frankly declared that its policy toward
that country is strictly one OF non
interference.
This is the most notable development
of the eastern situation that has re.
Gently occurred The news of Japan's
action was doubtless as welcome at St.
Petersburg as at London, and SO far
at least may be regarded as deter
rent to unything like an alliance be.
tween Great Britain and Japan against
Russia. On the other hand it may be
taken for granted that Russia is toe
sagacious to wantonly provoke an al.
lance or to needlessly forfeit the
friendship Of either the United States
or Japan.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Az Interpreted by Ex-senator Edmunds
of Now Hampshire.

Az Interpreted by Ex-senator EdmundA
of Now Hampshire.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.-An in
formal talk, as he called it, was given
Saturday night by ex-United States
Senator George F. Edmunds to the
members of the Union League club
and their friends on international
Relations in Central and South Amer.
ica." The prominent position occu-
pied by the speaker for so many years
in the senate, coupled with the pres
ent difficulty over the boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana,
added more than usual interest to
such discussion. On a map hung
alongside the speakers platform. Sem
ator Ednunds pointed out possessions
Of Great Britain which encircled the
globe. This great expansion, he said,
was not conquest Of blood, but
trade, business and English civilza-
tion.
lie then gave history Of the origin
Of the Monroe doctrine:
THAT doctrine declared" he said,
"that we would not look with uncon.
Germ (Which in my Vermont dialect
means, we would not tolerate) the in
reference of any foreign power with
respect to the autonomy or existence
of the American republics. That was
the Monroe doctrine and it has stood
as standing menace to oil foreign
countries from that time to this"
Senator Edmunds called attention
to the way British claims in Honduras
had grown from almost nothing to
several thousand square miles. In
British Guiana, in 1859, their claims
included only few towns, with no
boundary at all given on the border
toward Venezuela. In 1870 this small
claim had grown to I'd, 900 square miles,
and in 1892 to 100000 square miles.
That is British expansion, he added.
But hope and believe that the presi-
dent and his secretary Of state will
not let Venezuela be squeezed out of
the Orinoco. l hope the president
will see that all our southern neigh
bors are protected in their just
rights"
Senator Edmunds also urged the
great advantages OF the Nicaragua
canal under American control. After
referring to many matters to be con-
sidered when discussing the annexa-
tion OF Cuba, for instance, he paid a
compliment to President Cleveland.
saying that no president had ever been
found lacking in patriotism in looking
after our relations with foreign coun-
tries, and republican though he was,
he could say that OF both Mr.. Cleve'
lands administrations, as would no
doubt be demonstrated to all when
all the facts came out.
