Sir Edward Grey Grows Enthusiastic Ovel
the Cordial Relations Existing Be-

London, Dec. 3.-Sir Edward Gray
liberal member of parliament for Ber-
wyck-on-Tweed, who was under secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs in
Lord Roseberry's cabinet, spoke last
night on foreign affairs at Blackburn,
in Lancashire.
Referring to the magnificent effect
on the relations between the United
States and Great Britain accomplished
by the free press of free people on
each side of the Atlantic, expressing
the generous impulses of each nation, -
he said:
81 would rather have the free play
of this national sentiment, which is
enriching the public life of both coun-
tries, than written alliance. We have
finally come to realize double patri-
otism, the patriotism of race and the
patriotism OF country. There is a
common bond between the two peo-
Piles, and we should look in times of
peace to see the sentiment growing
and in times of disturbance to find
in it something upon which we could
lean for mutual support"

then the minor matters discussed.
According to reports from American
sources, the Spanish commissioners
endeayored to draw hints as to how
far the Americans were willing to
compromise the demand under discus
sion without disclosing what conces-
sions Spain was willing to make.
Much Time May be Consumed.
As the negotiations proceed the
prospects of consuming much time in-
creases. Several very important prop
ositions, presenting many phases, in
vite discussion, and must afterwards
be embodied in the agreements. This
task of embodying may be drawn out,
every word and comma requiring con-
sideration
On the questions yet unsettled,
which do not concern territorial or
financial interests, both commissions
display laudable anxiety to promote
the welfare of the inhabitants in
volved.
An American commissioner re-
marked to correspondent:
Mutual Desire to Secure the Good of the
Subjects to be Transferred.
to become our subjects and we desire
to secure for them all their rights and
privileges. We keep in mind the in
terests of Spanish citizens in the ter
ritories changing hands as well as the
others.
'Our Spanish friends exhibit will
lngness to cooperate in this work of
guaranteeing the rights of the peoples
they are losing, a willingness that
must command our respect, for we
realize that they might make the task
much more difficult if they were dis
posed to do so.''
Another Problem Requiring Much Atten-
tion.
Among the problems of the forego-
ing nature to which the commission
ers are devoting much attention, is
that of the courts. Both commissions
desire as far as possible to arrange
that contracts entered upon and law
suits brought under the Spanish
regime may be transferred to the
jurisdiction of the American courts
so that the litigants may lose no
rights through the change of govern
ment.
The question OF continuing con-
tracts for public works now under
way is also being considered, and it is
possible that the treaty will guaran-
tee the fulfillment of existing mail
contracts.

MARCH OF PROSPERITY.
Ohio Statistics Give N Larger Per-
centage of Paupers Than for
Any Previous Year.

The following from the Ohio State
Journal (republican) is an index to the
widespread prosperity that has come
to the Buckeye state under the regime
of Doodle, bribery, Hanna and 'honest"
money:
Secretary of State Kinney has given
out the statistics of pauperism in Ohio
for the year ending the first Monday in
September, 1898, as prepared by the
county auditors. The report shows the
inmates of county infirmaries on the
first Monday in September, 1897, were
as follows: Males, white, 5,55s; females,
3,44s; males, colored, 215; females, 142.
Number admitted during the year
Males, white, 4,402; females, 1900;
males, colored, $50; females, 76. Total.
supported in the infirmaries during the
year ending September, 1s9s-Males,
10, 1925; females, 1856. Number of pau
pers otherwise supported during the
year, 23,T57. Total number of paupers
in the state, 3e,03S. OF this number p
s46 white males and 1873 white fe-
males; 191 colored males and 126 colored
females are wholly illiterate. The num-
Der with higher education Is 26S males
and IA females.
"The total cost of keeping paupers in
infirmaries is $3.50, 6,64s.53; keeping them
otherwise, S22s, ,72S.52; total cost for
keeping paupers for the year. $i.oe5.-
377.05."
Thus in year III of King Hanna's
reign, one of every 40 in the state of
Ohio is fed by bounty of his majesty's
taxation of the people, and it cost ST.
O65, ,377.05 to foot the bills.
This, it is stated by paper pub
lished in McKinley's home city (Can-
ton), is the largest number of paupers
ever returned in the history of Ohio,
and the largest sum of money in any
one year raised by taxation for their
support. And yet the president in his
swing around the circle few weeks
ago glorified the presence of prosperity
among the common peoplei--Illinois

KNoTTY QUESTIONS RAISED.
Some of the Complications Likely to Grow
Out of the Annexation of
Alien Territory.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The United
States government is being called
upon to face some questions of inter-
est resulting from the expansion pol
icy. The British government some
time before the annexation of Hawaii
to the United States filed with Ha-
waii number of claims for redress
for the ill-treatment and illegal con-
fnement of British subjects. involved
in the revolutionary movement which
oyerthrew the queen. These amount
to several hundred thousands of dol
lars in the aggregate and the question
is, the Hawaiian government having
failed to settle them, whether the
United States government does not in
herit liability?
The claims are just such as were
filed by the late Secretary Gresham
against the Hawaiian government in
behalf of a number of alleged Ameri-
can citizens, most of whom, after
wards turned out to be aliens. None
of our claims were pressed, but they
formed the foundation for the British
claims.
Another question of more import
ance is the determination of the status
of some of our newly-acquired citi-
zens or subjects. Already Chinaman
by birth, but Philippine by citizen
ship, has applied for recognition as an
American citizen. Another Chinaman
in Hawaii wants passport showing
he is a citizen of the United States.
The annexation lawprohibits the COM
iDcr into the limits of the TTuite6 States
of Chinese persons from Hawaii, but
the constitutionality of any act that
purposes to discriminate among Amer
lean citizens has been raised, and this
Cinnamon is citizen by adoption.
