countries composing the Greater Re-

Here is some sound gospel truth

coming from Senator Mills Of Texas !;
Scuba is in chains Cuba is under
sentence of life condemnation |!
We talk about what we have done.
We have deluged our land to blot it
from our own continent when our
own souls are defiled by the slavery
that now exists in Cuba, and just
God will call us to account for it..
We cannot stand and see these peo-
Pile butchered-men, women and
children-their aims and legs torn
from them raids made into the cities
and unoffending citizens of every age
and condition taken out and shot to
death, and we still say we cannot IN
terfere. I'VE put you there. We
will keep you there. You shall not
go to England, who is ready to take
you at any moment. You shall moi
go to Germany, who is ready to take
you, and powerful enough to do So
You shall not 60 to France. You
shall stay in your dungeon until Spain
shoots you to DEATH And then, in
their death struggle, in a war in
which the motto is Independence
Or extermination,' we are throwing
the whole power of this administra'
ton in the interest OF the monarchy
of SPAIN"

ALAskA,s BOUNDARY.

IaunCetOtt slSHcu oatutuuy Iuc
treaty providing for the demarkation
by JOINT scientific commission of the
l4lst meridian of west longitude, 50
far as it constitutes the boundary be-
tween Alaska and the British North
American possessions.
This new treaty, while it will not
settle all the questions that may arise
regarding the entire Alaskan bound,
airy, will dispose of all those now
pending and which have any imme-
date Importance, and will leave only
such portions OF the boundary to be
located as can hardly give rise to Sc
rious controversy.
The boundary is 80 clearly describ-
ed in the treaty by which Russia &C.
ded Alaska to the United States and
which incorporated the stipulations
as to boundary contained in the
treaty of 1925 between Great Britain
and Russia, as to limit the contro-
VERSES which may arise as to its loca-
tion almost entirely to questions Ca
pable of exact scientific determine
ton.
There are three placer gold fields
on the Yukon river, on Forty Mile
creek and on Six Mile creek, which
are so near the line Of the 141st meri-
dian as to give some support to adj
verse claims of possession.
Under the treaty concluded in 1892
the United States and Great Britain
agreed to appoint commissioners to
survey the entire country through
which the boundary runs, so as to af-
ford data for the future location OF
the line. The commissioner on the
part of the United States was Super,
intendent of the Coast Survey w.
w. Duffield, and the British commits.
sioner was Frederick William King.
This treaty expired on December 81
1896, and on that day Superlntend.
ent Dufield and Mr.. King met in
Albany, N. Y, compared their maps
and reports and forwarded them te
their respective governments.
The treaty signed Saturday pro.
vldes for commission, to consist oil
representative of each government
to make final location of the line, Sc
far as it is coextensive with the l41st
meridian, and mark it by suitable
monuments. This commission will
work jointly, and will be assisted by
astronomers and surveyors appointed
by the respective governments.
Mr.. King, it is understood, will b
the British commissioner, and Super
inteDdent Duffield will be appointed
to represent the United States, if thu
treaty is ratified in time for the APP
pointment to be made by the appoint
ment to be made by the present ad
ministration. If it goes over unit
the next administration it is possibl,
Maj. McKinley'will select some othe
man.
The work of this commission vii
be greatly simplifed by the data pre-
pared for it by the independent sur
veys made under the treaty of 1892
and by the very small divergence be
tween the results reached by Super
intendent Duffield and Mr.. King
The most important fact established
by the surveys is that all of the golt
fields which have thus far been dis
covered in Alaska lie wholly within
: the territory Of the United States.

Representative Powers of Vermont
had little bout, the other day, with
representative Barrett of Massachu-
sets. The matter before the house
was the conference report on the Sen
ate bill to define the rights of pur-
chasers of the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad under mortgage foreclosure.
Mr.. Powers limited that Mr.. Bar
rett might be interested and that Bos-
ton was place where railroads were
wrecked. He then proceeded, with
out any apparent cause, to ridicule
Barrett by ironically comparing him
with Webster, Sumner and others.
The entire trend of his remarks was
to belittle Barrett and his State. The
latter was much aroused and was on
his feet the moment the Vermont
member took his seat. After deny
ing having any interests in the matter
under discussion and defending his
State from the attacks of Powers, be
SAID:
81 came here with no reputation
beyond service in the Legislature OF
my State, but the gentleman from
Vermont came here after long term
of service on the Supreme Court Of
his State. What was the record OF
that court Ask any one of the
shareholders of the Central Railroad
of Vermont, who were robbed by the
DEGREES of that court, and then lei
the gentleman from Vermont talk tt
me of Massachusetts wrecking rail
roads"

The wreck of the Central Railroad
Of Vermont, he declared, when thai
railroad was in the hands of the Su
preme Court of that State, as Re
ceiver, was the most complete in rail
road history. 1t was stencil in TIT

Will be Held on Emma

Meeting Of kindergarten AssO-
portant Matters Decided On.

1t was decided that the Foreign Kin
dergarten be moved to the building on
the premises of Mrs. E. c. Damon, Ber-
etania street, formerly occupied by a
private kindergarten. 1t was made
plain TO the members that in this new
antagonistic TO the private kindergart-
ems; that poor children will have the
preference and that any parents who
can afford to make a donation to the
society are expected TO do so.
1t was stated before the meeting that
the new Portuguese Kindergarten
building would be commenced Satur-
day (this day. on the grounds leased
from the American Board for 10 years.
The resignation of Mrs. Waterhouse
as chairman of the Hawaiian Kinder
garten Committee, was accepted this
on account of the departure for Eng
land in the near future of the lady in
question.
1t was voted that the work in the
Maemae Kindergarten be discontinued
since, on account of the fact that the
Government schools are accepting
such young children, the need for a
kindergarten at that place has be-
come greatly diminished.
A Japanese bazaar is to be held at the
Queen Emma Hall grounds on next
Saturday afternoon and evening, the
proceeds to go to the benefit of the
Japanese kindergarten, the japanese
Primary School and the Japanese read
ing room. In the hall will be arranged
places for the sale of Japanese articles,
and here, as we'll as outside on the
grounds, will be booths for tea, coffee
and Japanese refreshments. These will
be prettily decorated with japanese
flowers.
Aside from these attractions there
will be show of ancient Japanese GUS
toms and costumes. Ceremonial tea
will be another feature.
The society wishes it distinctly I'M
derstood that all moneys paid into the
hands of the financial secretary and
paid out by the treasurer.

A feature of aluminium
ware is the ease with which
it is cleaned. No matter how
dark it may get over the fire,
a pinch of soda in the water
in which the utenSil is wash
ed will clean it as bright as
polished silver. The impress
sion has gone forth that
aluminium will not stand
hard knocks. This is a mis-
take, because when it SuS-
tainS such injuries as usually
happen tin pans, etc, just
push it back in place and it
IS as good as new.
