The Northfield Conferences
Full Announcement I'm Regard to the
world's student Conference Now in
SessIOn,

Full Announcement I'm Regard to the
world's student Conference Now in
Session.
Many who live in the vicinity of North
field are constantly asking for a daily pro-
gram of the Summer Conferences in or
der that they may drive in for such SER
vices as they desire to attend. 1t is with
great pleasure we announce the program
as prepared by the committee for the con-
ference which opens today.
Students from all parts of the world
have been gathering at Mortified this
week for the 18th annual meeting of the
Worlds Student Conference. The partic-
ular field of this conference is Young
Mems Christian Association work; never
theless the work is by no means narrowed
to that alone, but is Of great value to any
Christian man or woman.
This year the session is from July l to
10. Each morning at o'clock mission
airy institute will be conducted by F. f.
Brockman and Rev. Harlan P. Beach, sec
retaries of the Student Volunteer move
ment. This institute is a new feature in
the work and has been planned in order
that the unparalleled missionary enthusi-
asm, which has been so marked in all our
institutions since the Cleveland convention
last spring, may be kept up and wisely
directed into effective channels. Courses
of study for missionary classes for the COM
ing year will be presented and discussed.
At o \. NJ. each day there will be con-
ferences on college association work. The
association has great work to do in the
colleges, and these 0 o'clock meetings will
be valuable springs of strength for college
men who are anxious TO promote the
cause of Christ among their fellow stu
dents.
Prof. E. |. Bosworth will have charge
of the normal devotional Bible class, and
S. NJ. Sayford the normal Bible training
class, at 10 \. NJ. As their names signify,
both these classes will be to train those
who enter them to conduct such classes in
their own associations. Prof. Z. l. Bos-
worth is a well known teacher from Ober-
lin college, and Mr.. Sayford is from
Boston.
At II \. NJ. and p. NJ. public meetings
will be held in the Auditorium, the 5
O'Clock meeting to be preceded at : by a
service on Round Top. At these meetings
the speakers will be Rev. r. p. Mackay,
Toronto President Augustus H. Strong,
Rochester Theological seminary; Chan
cellor Wm. F. Mcdowell, Denver univer-
sity; Robert E. Speer, New York; Mr..
Zwemer F. R. G. S., London; Rev. j.
Bell, Johnston, England; Rev. Edward
Judson, D. D., New York; Mr.. Moody
and others.
The afternoons during the conference
will be given up to recreation. Charles V.
P. Young, Cornell, is chairman of the ath-
letic committee which has members from
University of Pennsylvania, Williams,
Yale Brown and Syracuse. Several in
teresting contests will be arranged.
The opportunity TO attend this confer
ence is one that no Christian in this sec
ton can afford to miss. The moonlight
nights will make it possible for many to
drive to Mortified for one days session,
and all plans indicate that those who at
tend will be richly rewarded.

Our Righ, to Acquire Foreign Territory.

Our Right 10 Acquire Foreign Territory.
In a paragraph printed recently it was
said that Senator Proctor had remarked on
the rapid change which he had noticed in
the sentiment of Congress on the question
of the United States holding and control
ing the Spanish colonial possessions which
were coming into its hands. The Senator
expressed no opinion on the subject. He
simply said that the change OF sentiment
had taken place and that the general feel
ing is that we must hold these possessions
permanently.
The Hartford Courant notes the same
fact and, without discussing the pros and
cons of it, says that the right of this coun-
try to acquire and retain such remote pos
sessions, if it can and wants to, is ndis-
putable. This right is not derived from
the constitution. 1t is inherent in the
very nature of sovereignty.
Whether we have the political genius
necessary for governing remote and strange
peoples and making them contented, happy
and prosperous, is a question by itself.
The fact that the men OF the Conven-
tion of 1857 did not contemplate the pos
sibilty of such an experiment, and did
not provide for it in our organic law, is
indisputable. Jefferson wrote to a friend
after the louisiana Purchase, "the Con
stitution has made no provision for our
holding foreign territory, still less for in
cooperating foreign nations in our Union."
Nevertheless the flag of the United States
is flying today over the vast domain bought
from France, the vaster domain bought
(afteT war Of conquesO from Mexico,
the enormous expanse of Alaska and its
islands, bought from Russia, and appar-
emily will be flying over Hawaii before
July 4th of this history-making year. 1t
does not at all follow, because the Const-
tuition has not told us what to do with
new territorial acquisitions, that We can
do nothing with them.
In case brought up to it on appeal
from the district court at Sitka the federal
circuit appellate court at San Francisco
has Just said that the territories of the
United States, not being organized under
the Constitution, are not subject to that
instruments complex distribution of gov.
ernmental powers, and are 'entirely sub
ect" to the authority of Congress.
If the supreme court confirms this as
good law Congress can, if it chooses, fit
out Hawaii with one scheme of govern
ment, the Philippines with another, Porto
Rico with another, perhaps Cuba Oater on)
with another. 1t can adapt the arrange
ments to the circumstances and peculiar
conditions and change them from time to
time as may be found necessary.

One of the Slain.

Hamilton Fish, jr., who was killed in
the first advance on Santiago, was one of
the young New Workers of good position
and family who went to the front with
Roosevelts rough riders. His family was
one of the oldest in New York state His
father, Nicholas Fish of New York city, is
the son of the late Hamilton Fish, who
was secretary of state in Grants cabinet.
He is a banker. Young Fishs uncle,
Hamilton Fish, was formerly speaker of
the New York assembly. Hamilton Fish
was "A years old, over six feet tall, of her.
culean build, and rowed as No. I of the
Columbia college crew in its winning race
of 1894, over the Poughkeepsie course.
His fondness of adventure led him to go
West soon after leaving college, and while
there he led rowing sort of life, enjoy
ing among other experiences the life of
brakeman for some months. While en-
gagged in this pursuit he jammed one of
his fingers, and came East to have it am
putated.

Our recent Consul at Manila has pictur-
ed the scene in that city, which regularly
was enacted during the Philippine rebel
lion, where on the parade ground surround
ed by the equipages of the women of fashion
and position and to the accompaniment of
festive music by a band, the captive soldiers
of the insurgent army were put to death
This spectacle came to be counted among
the most diverting social events of the
city. By the accident of birth the prison
ers of Santiago are of a different tribe.
They are Americans, and this, not Span
ish honor, is their only shield. The Span
lard is not strong in his reasoning powers,
but he is not devoid of the instinct of fear,
and he respects that which he fears. His
dread, therefore, of the reprisals which it
would be possible for this country to make
will temper his passion with policy in this
instance. Boston Globe.

4 Remarkable Speech.
From the Springfield Republican ]

From The Springfield Republican,
The speech opening the debate against
the Hawaiian annexation resolution in the
Senate last week came from man who
has been for more than 10 years con-
spicuous figure in Congress, who has been
for over 30 years a member of the Senate,
and during most of that time chairman OF
its most important committee, and who in
all these years has been loyal member of
the party which is now trying to drive the
country into strange and uncertain ways;
but in his S9th year Mr.. Morrill, of Yer
mont brings 20 this subject keenness of
observation and strength of statement
never exceeded in his more youthful days.
In this respect at least it is the most re-
markable speech ever delivered in the
United States Senate.

The purpose of Lieut.. Hobson was to
sink the Merrmac directly across the chan
mel at Santiago, blocking it at its narrowest
part by the length of the ship, but the
starboard anchor chains broke away from
their fastenings and allowed the stern to
swing around so that the ship now lies
parallel with the channel instead of across
it, and blocking it only by the width of the
ship. This detracts nothing from the
bravery Of Hobson's deed, however.

AS the result of law passed by the
Massachusetts legislature the trading stamp
and coupon business is now prohibited in
that state. When the scheme began to be
adopted by retail merchants, it found
ready acceptance in many cities, and the
competition became so active that many
forms were devised to avoid the monopoly
secured by the originators of the plan. As
a result the benefits at first secured were
lost and many complaints arose.

Last Wednesday while the troops of Gen.
Skaters army were landing near Baiquiri,
Cuba, Admiral Sampson, with the idea of
diverting the attention of the Spaniards
from the landing, made a demonstration
with the battleship Texas at Cabanas,
about five miles east of Guantanamo. The
Texas engaged the west battery of Cabanas
for several hours. During the engagement
a shell from the battery struck the Texas,
and, bursting, killed one man and injured
several others.

Commendable Enterprise.

Among the many enterprising citi
zens of The Dalles, there is none who
today is exhibiting more commendable
enterprise than Judge Mays. Although
heavy loser in the fire of the 14th,
he is not the least discouraged, for he
still has confidence in the future of
The Dalles, despite the ravages of fire
and water. He will. as soon as the
debris can be removed and the ground
cleared, begin erecting an elee ant two
story brick 1OOx100 feet on the former
site of Mays & Crowe's hardware store
to be used by that firm for their inn
mense business. The building will be
thoroughly modern and provided with
every apportionment to make it strict
ly up to date in every particular.

The Bob White Qua

In the spring of 1897 those who were
interested in establishing the Bob
White Quail sent for large number
and ten dozen were received and they
were placed on Mill Creek about a
mile and nalf below town, says the
Walla sWalla Statesman. They
have now scattered from the Touchet
to the Yellowhawk, and their clear
Bob White notes can be heard
every day. One gentleman the other
day found nest of about IL or IA
young ones. Reports have been re-
ceived from all directions and they
have multiplied in good shape, and IL
the pot hunter can be prevailed on to
keep his hands off these splendid
birds until they have been we'll
established. they will furnish good
sport to local nimrods. No one is
permitted by law to kill any of these
birds until October 1900, and Game
Warden Justice offers personal re-
ward of $500 to anyone who will give
conclusive evidence of any one hav
ing killed any. 1t will be remem-
bered that those who furnish the in
formation gets half of the fine besides.
