the runor of an understanding between
Spain and other European nations,
looking to American interference with

Which came to him from high author
ity. De Penaloza has been introduced
in st. Louis as a member of an old
Spanish family, whose sympathies are
With the Carlist party, but whose con-
nection with high politics in Spain
keeps them posted on most of the I'M
portant diplomatic movements. He
said: Some time last September when
the Cuban question was so much asi-
tated in the United States even to the
point of furnishing pfanKs to the de-
clarations of presidential conventions
Senior Canovas del Castillo, then pre-
nier of Spain, received assurances from
the English and French governments
through their representatives in Mad
rid that they would not permit any
action on the part of the United States
other than a very perfunctory recog-
milton of the belligerency of the insur-
gents. On Aug. s. before leaving Paris,
l learned from trustworthy sources
that this assurance had been renewed.
Gen. AZcarraga, the new premier, has
received the French and English
ambassadors, who have once more as
sured Spain of the sympathy of their
governments and of their willingness
to give her their diplomatic help"

come In all the differences that have;
arisen between these two cities, we
have noticed nothing as ignobly and
meanly malicious as this.
The capitol cannot be taken away
from st. Paul The construction Of the
new building cannot be prevented. The
state can be injured in reputation and
in pocket That is, at least to the Min
neapolis papers, well worth while, if
by that means the addition to st. Paul
of a new capitol bdilding can be put
off for few years longer The con-
troversy is of no special interest to this
city 1t is not probable that our bust
ness or our prosperity would be affect
ed in any way by a delay in building
the capitol In no way can our repu-
tation as the capital city of the state
be taken away. It is the state itself
at which the blow is aimed. We ask
the people of the state what they think
of a spirit that would inflict serious in
jury upon the whole commonwealth in
order to crafty local spleen.

FAMINE IN IRELAND.

To the burden Of England in taking
care of her Indian empire through a
year of war, pestilence and famine,
there is now likely to be added sim
liar burden nearer home. From across
st. Georges channel there comes a re-
port of impending distress 1t has been
many years since there was a crop
failure in Ireland as complete as that of
the present year appears to be. The ag-
ricultural industry in Ireland is visit
ed periodically with partial or total
ruin, owing to its nature and condi-
tons as affected by climate Once i'll
so often there comes a season of ex-
cessive and almost unintermittent
rains. When this happens, the prod
ucts of the soil are ruined. The potato
crop, which is not only the staple of
Ireland, but the main source of food
supply for it's people, can be totally de-
stroyed by weeks of wet weather. The
same is true of hay and oats, which
form a large bulk of the remaining
crop. If these fail then almost the
entire cotter populate ton is made abso-
lutely destitute. 1t is especially unfor-
tunate that this should have happened
the present year, just as the people of
Ireland, after period of comparative
rest from political agitation appear to
have made much progress in improv-
ing their material conditions.
If the condition of crops is such as is
reported. there will be need Of material
assistance to the people, or they will
perish of hunger by thousands. The
experience of Great Britain in India
does not warrant the belief that she is
ready to meet such an emergency any
better than in years past. While indi-
vidual Englishmen are generous almost
without limit, and the private subscrip-
tions for India'e relief have been great,
the government did not show it's appre-
citation of the situation. or move to
meet it effectually until it was too late.
The record of deaths from famine in
India during the current year will be a
standing shame to Great Britain for all
time to come. Now, at her very doors,
the cry of suffering and want is rails
ed once more.
To this appeal the American people
will be less insensible. A famine in
Ireland has always provoked most
generous response from the people Of
the United States, and will never fall
upon unheeding ears. 1t will not, how
ever, be to England's credit if, rich
and powerful as she is, she shall wait
upon the aid of any other nation, or
permit a single inhabitant of ireland
to perish of want. The next year
promises to be a dark one for that un-
fortunate island; and, unless the sto-
ries of crop destruction are greatly ex-
aggerated, steps must be taken for
prompt and effective relief work in
ireland.

LAYMEN IN REVOLT.
Methodist Church Face to Face
With n Crisis.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Rebellion has
broken out in the Methodist Episcopal
church. The laymen demand equal
representation with the ministers in
the church. Three times have the
ministers voted on the question and
defeated it, and the laymen have lost
patience. The church will be brought
face to face next week, with a revolt
that will probably overshadow the
general conference. Representatives
of Pennsylvania and New Jersey con-
ferences have issued an address for the
change. Leading laymen of Indiana
have called a state convention to meet
at Indianapolis next Wednesday, to
consider the question. A lay conven-
ton representing the Cincinnati con-
ference sent greetings last week to the
Indiana convention and urged the call
ing of a national convention. The lay
men of the central Illinois conference
have called a convention to meet at
Canton, Sept. II, and that meeting will
probably take action on this question.
Another big lay convention will be
held in Baltimore next month, and if
not forestalled by the Indianapolis con-
vention it is expected to issue a call
for a national conference of Methodist
laymen to make plans to bring the
ministers into line.
Under the rules of the church, each
conference is entitled to one ministe-
rial delegate to the general conference
for every forty-five clergymen. Each
conference is entitled to at least one
lay delegate, but in no case can it have
more than two. In the general con-
ference at Cleveland last year, $4,000
ministers had 337 representatives,
While the 100000 lay members of the
church had but 1919. In Indiana 334
preachers had seven representatives.
while $4,000 laymen had but two.

olution and annexation was built UP
summation was defeated by the stern
opposition Of President Cleveland.
While we do not approve Of all that he
did in the matter and feel that he laid
himself open to just criticism in meet
ing the subversion of the Hawaiian
government, by act of the United
States under Mr.. Harrison's direction,
with an open attempt to restore the
monarchy, yet what he actually accom-
plished was most praiseworthy. This
was the effectual check of the plot to
seize the government of Hawaii and
bring the islands into the United States
as pocket borough, to be controlled
by a combination of unscrupulous poll
ticians and millionaire monopolists.
That project is now revived with the
solemn sanction of a part, at least, of
the Republican party.
Fortunately for the country, there
are still men patriotic. enough to OPP
pose strenuously this departure from
the only traditional and safe policy of
the United States; and they are pre-
pairing to expose in the senate this win
ter, when the annexation treaty comes
up, the real basis upon which it rests.
In aid of their movement, the people of
the Sandwich islands, who are, as they
have been, distinctly opposed to annex
alton, will organize a demonstration
fense their distaste for the projected
union. While jingoism has gone very
far in the United States senate, and
there are many memoirs there who are
imperVious to arguments and to patri-
otto sentiment alike, we are not ready
to believe that this is true of the ma
jority We still cherish the hope that,
when these men understand that the
great body of the Hawaiian people are
ignorant and actually Indifferent or
openly hostile to annexation; that they
are not and cannot be made the mate
rial of a worthy citizenship, and that
annexation will be as unpalatable to
Hawaii as it would be unfortunate for
us, they may be able to call halt in
the desperate project now under way
We are not, we must confess, as
much concerned with the fortunes of
the Hawaiian people, unwarranted as
has been the attack upon their right to
govern themselves, as we are about
the future of the United States. We
see, in this scheme to absorb Hawaii.
the entering wedge of a policy that
must inevitably shatter our Union by
internal dissension; or, more probably,
cause it to fall asunder in the course
of years by the disintegrating process
of internal corruption. No such aban-
donment of all the principles on which
American citizenship is founded as is
contained in the annexation project
can be consummated without filling
every American citizen with grave
doubts of the future of the country OF
his love. 1t must be his wish, there
fore, for his own country, that the peo-
pie of Hawaii may succeed in SO con-
Vincing our representatives of the I'M
wisdom and the improperly of annex
alton that this vicious and dangerous
treaty will be beaten

IS ENGLAND IN CONTROL?
Transfer of the Panama Canal Fran
chfse Reported.

NEW YORK. Sept "a dispatch to
the World from Washington says:
The Worlds special cable advices from
Colon to the effect that the franchise
heretofore held by French company
for the construction of a ship canal
across the Isthmus of Panama has
been transferred to the government of
Great Britain has created a sensation
here. Officialsnandt those closely inter
ested in the Nicaraguan canal project
frankly admit that if this transfer has
really been accomplished it will effect
ually prevent Gthe- Omitted States from
controlling the proposed interoceanic
waterway, and render the building OF
the Nicaraguan canal useless. At the
same time it is not generally believed
here that the concession held by the
French company has been transferred
to the government of Great Britain.
1t is considered possible that an Eng
lish company has purchased the rights
of the French company, and may con-
tinue the work now in progress, but
that the British government has as
sumed control Of the project is not
credited. 1c
