Before he sailed for Europe, Senator
HawIey of Connecticut expressed
some of his opinions as to the effect
of the passage of the tariff bill. Mr..
Hawley is good judge of men, and
his remarks about President McKin-
ley show appreciative analysis. Gen.
HawleY said:
"Mr. Mckinley never had bitter
enemies, but he stands higher in the
estimation of the whole political
world and of the whole country than
ever before-not alone as man of
sagacity and courage, but as a CHEEKY,
hopeful and courageous gentleman.
Veteran combatants on the demo-
cratic side in Congress speak of his
personal bearing toward them in
terms of the highest satisfaction. The
machinery of the administration is
working smoothly and successfully.
aBefore he was president many
persons doubtless thought him a man
of easy and pliable temper. So he is
in good sense. But he has develop
ed military promptness and vigor
of judgment and action that have
raised him in the estimation of those
who see most of the interior of po-
litical life. He can say No like Gen.
Grant, or like President Arthur, who
had the tact to deny request and
make the app licant happy at the
same time"

OLD ORCHARDS CARNIVAL.-Old
Orchard has the reputation of doing
things in style, and it's Summer Car
nival, which is to be held Tuesday,
August oath, will be an event of great
significance. There will be parades,
the equal of which has not been seen
at any celebration in this section.
And in the program place has been
found for races of all kinds, including
running races, sack races, three
legged races, ball matches and bicy-
Gle events. Parachute jumping, fire.
works and concerts will also enliven
the occasion. It is the intention of
the managers to make the day one
long to be remembered, and their un-
firing efforts have made most perfect
arrangements. The Boston & Maine
railroad has placed on sale round trip

THE SEAL CONFERENCE.

The duty of the Forthcoming con-
ference at Washington will be to con-
slider the whole seal question in all it's
aspects. 1t will inquire if there has
been unlawful fishing, if the seals are
in danger of determination, if the
provisions of the treaties between
Great Britain and the United States
have been faithfully carried out, if
these governments are discharging
the engagements entered on at the
Paris conference, if the Behring sea
patrol has been scrupulously main
tanned, and if further measures are
needed to protect the seals.
Canada, Japan, and Russia are to
take part in the conference, and
there is little doubt that the candid
consideration of the above questions
by all the govern u ents directly and
indirectly concerned will work for
good. All three powers are con-
cerned equally with the United
States in maintaining international
equity, amity, and treaty rights in
those waters, and the judgment of the
conference will possess great signifi-
canoe. The United States will enter
it with case supported by incontro-
vertible facts and by principles of
law and justice that are indisputable.
She must emerge triumphant .-TeJe-

A Washington special to the Com
1eercial Advertiser says: The first of
the series of reports which General
Miles is to make concerning his tour
of inspection of European armies has
reached the War Department and has
been forwarded to the President and
the secretary of war at Lake Cham
plain. This report concerns the visit
of General Miles within the lines of
the Greek and Turkish armies. He
describes in detail his observations of
the military tactics employed by the
commanders on both sides in the war
between the Greeks and Turks, the
result of the tactics in respect to ad-
vantage gained and the number of
men lost, and other features of the
contest viewed from strictly tech
nical military standpoint. 1t is said
unofficially at the War Department
that General Miles will remain in Eu-
rope until the conclusion of the Ger
man military manoevres this fall,
permission to witness which has been
granted to the general. 1t is suppos-
ed that no further report on the re-
suits of his tour will be made until his
return to this country. At that time
he will make separate reports on OBJ
servations of military methods in
England, in connection with what he
saw at the Queens jubilee celebration
and in Russia and Germany. General
Miles is at present in Russia.

The Navy Department has received
information of the purpose Of Great
Britain to augment her present strong
feet of warships on the North Ameri-
can station by the addition of one of
her most powerful battleships and
several cruisers and torpedo boat de-
stroyers of recent construc ton. The
ships are to join the station this fall
and will probably be scattered be-
tween Halifax on the North and the
West Indies on the south. The larg-
est and most formidable of the class
will be the RenOwn, battleship said
to be of about the same fighting quail
tiles as the battleship Iowa. Next in
point of strength am ong the new ad-
ditions will be the armored cruiser
Talbot and the first class cruisers In
defatigable, Intrepid, and Pallas, and
two fast torpedo boat destroyers. All
of the ships are of comparatively light
draught and capable of entering any
of the ports between Boston and the
Virginia capes. These ships, with the
others of the station, will probably
spend the greater part of the autumn
and winter months in the West Indies
and Bermuda 1t has not been the
custom for British -wafships to visit
American ports except upon some
ceremonious occasion so there is little
chance of their being seen in New
York this winter.

According to Manila exchanges, re !.
ceived by the Empress of Japan, the
rebellion continues as briskIy as ever,
and reports are given of some serious
skirmishes between the Spanish sol
diers and the rebels in various pro-
.Vinces.
A report has been circulated in we'll
informed circles in Manila that the
governor general has sent moment
Gus telegram to the Madrid govern
ment, amounting to an ultimatum.
He gives the government three alter
natives expulsion from the Phillip
pines of the religious orders; failing
this, the immediate despatch of 4O,-
900 troops from Spain to effectively
quell the rebellion. In the event of
the refusal to either of the above, to
accept his resignation.
The Chamber of Commerce in Man
lila, alarmed at the serious fall in ex
change, due to the introduction of the
new Philippine dollar, has, with the
permission of the governor general
sent the following telegram to the
minister of the colonies in Madrid:
The Chamber of Commerce request
your excellency, on realizing the new
loan, to attend to the grave question
of exchange, which has not improved
dollar.

Nicaraguan government has at last
consented to receive Capt. Merry, our
new minister.to the consolidated Re-
publics of Central America. 1t has
been thought that as Captain Merry
was in favor of the canal being push
ed through that country by the Unit
ed States, that it was British influence
which was keeping the -Nicaraguan
government from accepting him as
minister, and if this was the reason
for their objections to Capt. Merry,
then his acceptance imay be called
triumph for this country over the
influence of the British government.

Judge John III. Reagan of Texas is a
tenacious statesman, and evidently
intends to remain in public life until
he is 100 years old. He is nearly 80
now, and was a member of the Texas
legislature so years ago. Then he was
Judge of state court and little lat
ter a member of congress. During
the war he was a member of the Con-
federate congress and postmaster
general in JEFF Davis cabinet. The
war over, he bobbed up serenely and
served many terms in the lower
branch of the national congress. His
single term in the senate ended in
1898, and when he went back to Texas
it was supposed that the last had been
of him in national politics, though he
speedily acquired the state Office of
railroad commissioner. But Reagan
does not consider himself back num-
Der and has just announced his candi-
dacy for the United States senate, to
succeed Senator Roger @. Mills. AS
the Corsicana statesman desires a re
election, lively contest is in pros
pect. "t

Key West. January pa horrible
story comes from Jumento, province of
Santa Clara, telling of quick retribution
TO the Spaniards for their butchery and
barbarous methods of warfare.
A Spanish force under Captain Mar
tell entered the place, which had been
the camp of the insurgents. and before
going away secretly poisoned the well
and a fine spring noted for affording
extra pure water. That evening a
Spanish band of guerrillas entered the
town after the others had left and used
the water. from which over % men
died. The guerrilla captain charged
the Cuban residents with poisoning his
men He took the principal residents
prisoners and shot them dead. He
then turned the women over to the
tender mercies of the men, who shot
young boys who attempted to save
their mothers and sisters. He burned
the village. The next day some of the
Spanish troops told the guerrillas the
story of the trap they had set for the
Cubans and learned that their own
companions in arms had been caught
by their own barbarOus plots
