POWER OF A NEUTRAL FLAG.
Statement of Mr.. Bnlfour In the Hons.
of Commons

Statement of Mr.. Bnlfour In the House
of Commons.
Mr.. L. g. Bowles conservative, asked the
government in the British house of COM
mons yesterday if notice had been taken of
the statements in the Spanish press that in
the event of war between Spain and the
United States Spanish privateers would
prey upon American commerce, and wheth-
er, in view of the complications and in
Juries British trade would suffer from such
an event, or in the case of war between
Great Britain and country which had not
aoceded to the declaration of Paris the
government would consider the whole ef-
fects of the declaration of Paris and the
advisability of Great Britain withdrawing
therefrcm.
The first lord of the treasury Mr.. A. T
Balfour, in reply, said that the govern
mcnt does not question SPANS right in
the matter. but, in view of the fact that no
privateers have been used in any war since
is"'i even by the powers not accedng to
the declaration of Paris, and that the doc
trine that a neutral flag covers enemies
goods. except contraband of war, has been
generally accepted during recent years. it
may be doubted if Spain would actually re-
sort to such measures.
rms answer, however, did not satisfy Mr.
Bowles, and he pressed Mr.. Balfour for a
more explicit reply, whereupon the first
lord of the treasury said that an exnres
sion of opinion at the present moment
might be inexpedient. He had consulted
with the admiralty and his colleagues on
the subject, and believed he was correct in
saying there had been a general acceptance
py all the powers, though not as a formal
treaty, that neutral flag covers enemies'
goods except contraband of war.
RiOtous Demonstrations Continue.
Further demonstrations of students

Cuban resolutions of Congress have &C.

Another Weyler Proclamation.
Captain General Weyler of Cuba has is
sued another proclamation, the terms of
which indicate a purpose to further soften
the severity of the proclamations he issued
soon after his arrival.
This latest official edict provides that all
persons captured up to date in the prov
inces of Havana and Pinar del Rio who are
suspected of having been members of a
rebel band, should they, of their own free
band, will be liberated in every case, pro-

witnesses to be loyal to the Spanish cause.

admitted to portions sufficient to
give some idea of the size, arrange
ment and the elegance OF the carving
and decorations. The rotunda, while
not so large as the capitol, will be
finished in a way to make it possibly
even more effective. This will be the
reading room, out of it opens alcoves,
and from this run wings and extern
sions around large court with shelf
room for books almost innumerable.
Rooms, staircases and balconies in
bewildering profusion, absolutely fire
proof, in stone and metal deliberately
carved and wrought, make a struc-
ture which we can easily believe will
be as claimed, one of the finest in the
world. Though the exterior is
finished it must be many months
before the interior can be ready for
the books and fully open to the pub
lie.
The week has given several exhibit
tons Of oratory to the visitor to the
senate wing ofthe capitol, noticeably
the speech of Senator Wolcott ofColo-
orado. A few ofthe old familiar faces
ofyears past arc seen. Senator Morrill,
has been every day in his chair, bear
ing striking resemblance to Seua-
tor Sumner. Senator John Sherman
is also seen, but those two are the
only ones of the days Immediately
following the war.
1t gives one striking illustration
OF the democratic tastes of some OF
our public men, to see in the chair of
the senate the vice. president of the
United States, and a few minutes
afterwards find him in the corner
of a street car crowded With
wet and hungry throng, making
his way home with the multi
tude to dinner. 1t makes one rub his
eyes and take a second look to con-
vince himself that this quiet man
against whom he is crowded is the
possible president of the United
States, having only one life between
him and the highest office of the
land. But here history is made and
on every hand are the men of every
degree of ability and prominence
who are making it.

spirit, DESTROYS to be instructed. Sec
ondly, The heareth my sayings He
gives good heed to the words taught,
retains them in his mind, meditates on
them, and learns the fitness OF their
meaning. Thirdly, "He doeth them"
He carries out what he has been taught
into the affairs of daily life. He believes
the things he is told to believe. He goes
forward to do the things he is told to do.
SO he stands strong. He enters into
Gods service and God is always with
him. To show the wisdom and security
of such a man, amid the changing scenes
Of this life, he is compared to a builder
who, in erecting a habitation, withmuch
panstaking lays the foundation OF his
house on a solid rock, which neither ris-
ing floods nor pelting winds could shake
or stir from its basis of rock. On the
other hand, the man who heard Jesus
sayings and "doeth them not" is likened
to the builder who paid no attention to
the foundation of his house, but placed it
on the sand with no support of rocks
under it. In the rising OF the waters and
the beatings Of the tempest its sandy
foundation is washed away and the
house itself is wrecked. These two IL
lustrations wildly show the radical diff
ference between the life OF man built on
faith in, and obedience to Jesus teach
ings, and a life without Him, and no
careful following of Hsinstructions. He
is the Rock Of Ages. None who hear His
sayings and do them can ever fail OF life's
great end. The great ruin" ofthe house
built on the sand here referred to, seems
to point to sad consequences that must
overtake those who reject the Saviours
words and stand on no sure and immov-
able foundations tor the life to come.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON,

A visitor to Washington alter a
few years absence finds many evi.
dences that it is rapidly taking on
the characteristics of growing
Northern city. 1t is seen in the bust
ness blocks that have been going up,
the increase of fine residences in the
northeastern section and in the ex-
tension of the suburbs. Since the
carrying out of the improvement in
augurated under the regime of BOSS
Shepherd" it has been one of the
most beautiful cities, though having
with its wide avenues and shaded
streets, many of the characteristics
of an overgrown village. Its large
army of government clerks, living
in modest houses on moderate sala-
ries, had much to do with this. But
now that its beauties and conve-
nience and public attractions have
made it so desirable as a winter resi-
dence, wealth has been attracted here
and the inevitable results have fol.
lowed.
A Sunday in Washington confirms
the impression made with every visit,
that the city has among its perma-
nent residents a large class of church
going people. The leading churches
are well filled. The pastors here
have had long terms of service, sew
eral occupying the same pulpit they
filled twenty-five years ago. The
Congregational church has had only
two pastors in that time, DR.. New
man, the present incumbent, directly
succeeding DR.. Rankin, who took it
when it first emerged from the
strife in which it started and brought
it to a position of strength. The
annual report just given out shows
that it enters upon this year with
a membership of exactly one thou
sand. The pastor has just closed
a series of evening services with lee
lures upon the life of Christ, illus
trated by stereopticon. He begins
at once a series of sermons on church
history, this being the third winter
in the course. He also announces
two morning sermons on Congrega-
tionalism soon to be given for the
especial benefit Of the Christian En-
deavor membership. This is live
church, thoroughly organized in
every department and force in this
city. The blind organist, Mr.. Bis
choff, still draws forth the choicest
music from the large organ built for
him, and leads the chorus choir. Jus.
tice Brewer of the supreme court
teaches in the Sunday school.
The new hall over Centre Market
was filled last Sunday with 5000
earnest Endeavorers, at their annual
union for the closing meeting. Presi.
dent Clark and Secretary Baer were
here to give advice and inspiration
in planning for the great convention

IN an attempt to stem the silver tide
in North Carolina several thousand
copies of an address to farmers, signed
10y about 100 Of the best known men of
the state, have been circulated. 1t puts
strongly the injury that would be done
to the farmer through the industrial de-
preston that would inevitably result
from the triumph. or even the danger
of triumph, of free silver. Cuisines
men," it says, "would refuse to buy,
because of the uncertainty of being able
to sell again; factories would shut down
and wages stop, because merchants
would not dare order goods which
might be worth less than they cost in
lew months; laborers and mechanics,
the chief consumers of food and clothes,
without money to buy, would cause the
demand for these articles, the raw ma
terials which the farmers supply, TO
dwindIe almost to nothing Surely.
with business at a standstill, factories
closed and operatives out of work, the

FItz Lee and the Cabinet.
Washington Post.)


IT seems to us that, In agitating the
question OF Cabinet place for General
Fitzhugh Lee under the Mckinley Admin
istratiOn. our excellent contemporary, the
Fredericksburg Free Lance. can hardly
speak with the authority or approval OF
that gallant soldier and patriotic citi-
zen. General Lee is not Republican; he
is a Democrat. The American people have
elected a Republican candidate FOR tho
presidency, and declared I'm unmistakable
terms that they want a Republican gov.
eminent. Upon what conceivable grounds
could General F'itz Lee lifelong and de-
voted Democrat. expect or accept a port
folio In MIR. McKinleys Cabinet?
The Lance insists that General Lee Is a
sound money Democrat--what OF that
Did General Lee formally rencunce his
party? Did he go over into the camp 81
the Republicans end battle against his
former friends? Did he even consider
such a policy for so much as single
moment? We nave not heard OF 1t. But
suppose he had done all these things
what then? What do the Boilers repre-
sent anyhow? What influence do they
exert: OF what value is their support?
why should Mr.. Mckinley so outside OF
his party in search OF Cabinet officers.
merely to reward an apostacy that profit
ed him nothing. and for which. deep
down in his manly heart, he must feel
only pity ard contempt?
We find no sort OF substance In the
Lance's proposition. We do not believe
in the first place that General Fitzhugh
Lee has made the smallest appeal to Mr..
McKinleys gratitude. We do not belieya
that he has deserted and denounced his
party or that, even II he had. he would
expect TO be rewarded for 1t. We feet
quite sure that General Lee does not
relish this freedom with his honored name
in such a controversy
