THE PACIFIC SLOPE.
This Region to be the Scene of Great
Events in the Near Future.

Senator Morgan, in a speech delivered in
the senate few days ago, truthfully
called the Hawaiian islands the Gibral-
tar of the Pacific, and emphasized the i'm
portance of controlling them in the inter-
ests of American commerce and all other
interests in the Pacific ocean and coun-
tries bordering upon that great sea.
The theatre of the worlds greatest ac-
ton in the future will be in that part of
the world. Factors are at work that in
the Twentieth century will elevate in
power and influence upon the future of
civilization and the destinies of the
the Pacific ocean region. The commerce
in that part of the world is growing with
wonderful rapidity, and as China and
Japan advance IN civilization and con-
sequent power they will demand and re-
ceive recognition in the councils of great
nations. Australia and New Zealand are
coming forward rapidly as powers that
will affect in their development the des-
tiny of the race They, with the nations
of the west coast of South America, can
not be ignored. In the Pacific, Western
civilization will be put to its final and
crucial test, and in that great movement
the United States will take conspicuous
and it may be the most prominent part.
In many respects, therefore, the most
serious problem that American statesmen
have to deal with is that affecting our flu
ture power in the Pacific England is not
blind to the Importance to its own inter-
ests Of the Pacific ocean and its great
problems, and is reaching out to strength
en- it's position. With that great grasp of
such problems which has characterized
English craftsmanship, the leading men
of Great Britain are preparing their coun-
try for the coming struggle. They are
seeking to strengthen it at every point,
and htey are not neglecting the Hawaiian
islands.
The example thus set should stimulate
American statesmen to do likewise The
key to the situation is the Hawaiian
controls them will control the Pacific.
England is now seeking to lay a cable
that would connect Australia and Canada
with those islands, and for this purpose
it is trying to get the consent of the
United States for it to land a cable on one
of the uninhabited members of the group
and also to occupy suitable landing
place for a cable near the city of Homo
lulu. 1t is needless to say that it would
select the most advantageous point it
could obtain, and that in that there
would be great danger to the interests of
this country. Mr.. Cleveland, with the
blindness which characterizes him in re-
gard to all matters affecting the interests
and designs of Great Britain. wished
congress to give this consent. To do so
would be to cast most precious pearl
away.
What our government should do is to
provide as speedily as possible for cable
OF its own, refusing the consent which
England asks. The cost of the cable
would be Il trifle in comparison with its
great beneft.-Denver Republican.

FOREST FIRES.
Vast Areas of Timber Being Destroyed
in West Virginia.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 22.-Dis-
patches from several points report that
forest fires are raging in the mountains
in the southern interior of the State.
Fully 1000 acres of timber land has been
burned over the region of Poca river and
along Kelly's creek. No lives have been
reported lost and no buildings are burn
ed, but many farms are destroyed. A dis
patch from the Poca region says that
the flames are moving in two divisions
about ten miles apart and that the coun-
try is lighted up for miles around. 1t is
feared that unless rains come soon much
damage will be done. A traveller from
the burning region reports that on Fri
day night he was overtaken by the flames
and was forced to make a dash through
the fire for his life, and that he was sur
rounded for quite distance by deluge
of burning branches.

believe the match can come off in Jackson

sufficient indication of that fact He
said the club had failed to put up the

come off in New Orleans. as that was the
only place they could fight without inter

finish and will meet Corbett in private for

"Our money is up but the Florida Ath-

we will take decisive steps. 1t looks as
though they were little bit afraid they
cannot pull off the fight, and want to
crawl out of it. We understood that the
gDoney had been posted long ago, but to
our surprise Stakeholder Phil Dwyer says
IL is not. If the Florida Athletic club
thinks it can peddle this fight about and
dispose of it where it wants to it will get
fooled We shall have something to say
about that. We are ready to fight, but
certainly want all parties to live up to
