Japan's Sea Power.

Commenting on the proposition to an
don Globe questions our ability to protect
the islands, and says, ''Japan's sea power
is so UNNECESSARILY superior to that of the
United States that japanese naval dem
onstration would place President McKin-
ley in difficult and perilous position"
Without going into the question of the
present superiority of Japan as a sea
power, it is interesting to find evidence of
the engrossing quality of the attention
which Japan is giving nova days to naval
concerns in letter lately received from
the Oriental Association of Japan, which
notes that the first of Captain Mahau' S
books on the sea power has recently been
translated into Japanese, and the second
is being translated. The letter says 1.-THE
knowledge of naval affairs is at present
| the most important in this part of the
world. The Japanese edition of the work
has attracted the attention of our public
The naval and military colleges have
adopted it as their text book. The I'M
perial Household Department bought 300
volumes IN accordance with the royal pur-
pose of subscribing for every middle,
higher middle, and normal school in ia
pan. Several thousand volumes We're sold
in a day OF two
1t will be remembered what lively at
tention was paid to Captain Mahan' works
in Europe, but no European nation has
touched this record of Japan. Captain
Mahan himself seems to find in it a bear
ing on the Hawaiian annexation question,
for he is quoted as saying, IF we do not
at once annex Hawaii we must either re
solve to give it up to Japan, OF to fight
her within ten years, for she will take it if
we don t." IIarper's Weekly

If We Know.

When the year has found its freedom from
the bondage of the frost,
And the memories of winter in a tide of
life are lost,
Then the heart awakes to answer Natures
impulse and rejoice
If we know her hidden meanings and the
music of her voice.
There are voices in the tree-tops-we may
hear them as we pass
There are whisperings of summer in the
springng of the grass;
There's noble sweep Of triumph where the
hawk is on the wing,
And the perfume of the lilac is the spirit of
the spring.
Oh the pulsng warmth of waking, how it
permeateS the air
lis the anodyne of hope that steals the bit
terness from care.
We may lay aside our burdens i'll the glory of
our choice
If we win the heart of Nature and will
hearken to her voice.

elegant part of the city, but has always
avoided ostentation. He and his excel
lent wife, who is still beautiful woman,
celebrated their siXtieth wedding ami
versary last November.
On Sunday evening in a platform meet
ing at the Beacon Street church, he re-
lated most instructive and interesting per-
sonal memories of the history of the COM
munity, from the time when as child Of
five years he saw the military company
commanded by his father marching, to
his surprise, through the street on Sun
day. The regiment to which that COM
pany belonged had been suddenly sum-
moned to garrison Cox's Head, at the
mouth of the river, a British attack being
expected. Charles Davenport is one of
the most remarkable men in Maine to- day.
Long may he be spared to the friends
who revere and love him.
Here on the shore of Penobscot Bay the
fields have not yet been swept by the
scythe or the moving machine the sea-
son having been remarkably cool and wet
1t seems to me that they are more beauti-
full than | ever saw them before, daisies
and buttercups being remarkably abun-
dant and the top of the tall grass having
turned a rich, ruddy brown. On the cliffs
at the shore is a profusion of wild flowers.
Among the rocks the waves are breaking,
and the wind whispers in the branches of
the tamaracks and birches. The daily
papers bring the tidings Of the terrible
heat in the great cities, but here on this
point, which projects between two of the
most beautiful harbors ON this wonderful
coast, the air is most refreshing and is
never oppressively hot. But my stay
must be tantalizingly brief. This evening
| shall be heading westward on the steam
el, and my walks on the cliffs and through
the scented fields will be memories.

o is made of pure grains, and when properly pre-

The Hawaiian Treaty.
Senate Committee Votes to Report Resolutions
for Ratification.

WASHINGTON, July IA. The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations agreed
to-day to report resolution for ratifica-
ton of tie Hawaiian annexation treaty
without amendments.
OF the II members of the committee
only seven were present. Those were
Messrs. Davis, Cullom, Foraker, Clark,
Morgan, Turpie and Daniel, and of these
all but Messrs. Turpie and Daniel cast
their votes for the resolution of ratifca-
ton.
Senator Frye's vote was also cast in
that interest by Senator Davis, Mr.. Frye
having left instructions to this effect.
Senators Daniel and Turpie did not take
positive stand in opposition, but both ex-
pressed the opinion that it was not ex-
pedient nor consistent with the vast i'm
portance of the subject that the treaty
should be pressed to immediate consid-
Grafton, and that if the Senate was not to
take the subject up at the present session
the better course would be to leave it in
committee until the Senate should be pre-
pared to proceed with its consideration.
the committee should make no effort to
secure the consideration of the treaty
during the present session.
Women in Maryland are permitted to
wear mems apparel. In test case in
Baltimore the authorities decided that
there is no law that forbids the wearing
of mem garments by women, provided no
