Willing to Wager a Triiie

The dogs of war have been numbered
at last, and although We think gambling Is
a sin and an abomination in the sight Of the

Hon. Joseph Chamberlain is now so anx-

United States that he is preaching 1t IN all

More Of desperation than of strategy is
comprehended in the suggestion Of the
Sun correspondent, that the Cape Verde
fleet is now well on its way round Cape
Horn to the Philippines, that the Cadiz
fleet will join it there. wipe out Dewey
and pounce upon any Of our merchant
marine In eastern waters. A good answer
to this brilliant suggestion is Joe Cham
berlain's Birmingham speech, which is
rapldfire concern, and loaded. The Brit
ish fleet in the Orient is also formid-
able affair. The Suez canal might be
found hard road to travel. Formid-
able instructions to the carrying out OF
this plan multiply with the passage OF
thought. But banishing them all, what
would Spain proflt by exposing her whole
coast line to our Atlantic squadron, and
by abandoning all other Indian possess
sions? We fear this scheme will not
stand the test crucible of analytical ex-
animation.

held nightly in both Elkton Presbyterian

requested to close their places of business
each evening at half past seven o'clock. This
all desire to do and which they state is only
prevented by the lateness at which some of
their customers buy OF them. Church com

persons make purchases at the store Just as
early in the evenings as they can and thus
make 1t possible for the clerks to leave and

Washington. July 15.-The interstate
commerce commission has ordered a
hearing into the matters of the pas
senger rates disturbed by the Cana
dian Pacific, TO be held in the federal
court room in Chicago, Aug. 1 next.
The order of the commission refers
to the conflict in passenger rates be-
tween the Canadian Pacific and the
American roads. and recited the ale
cations of the American roads that the
Canadian Pacific is in open violation
of the act TO regulate commerce, max
ing unreasonably low rates between
various points in the United States, not
as a measure Of legitimate competition,
but as a means of retaliation for the
purpose of eXacting certain unreaSon-
able demands upon its part"
In conclusion the order recites that it
seems advisable that the commission
should be fully informed OF the whole
situation, with q view to determining
what. if any. relief can or ought to be
applied, and. therefore, the hearing is
ordered, as stated.
The passenger representatives of As
lines of railway. all directly or indi
rectly interested in this traffic, are or
dered to be in attendance at the meet
ing.
The Grand Trunk Railway company
and the Canadian Pacific are included
in the order.

fight be would not claim the heavy
weight championship.
