Washington, June Ex-senator John
T. Morgan found time today, as he sat
in his stately old home in washington,
to discuss the outcome of the war in
its international aspect. There is prob
ably no man in public life more COM
petent to deal with such subject than
the distinguished Alabama statesman.
For 20 years he has been recognized
as an authority on international rela-
tionS, as well as on the constitutional
law of the United States. Sometime
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations and now an esteemed mem
Der of that committee, he has held front
rank with publicists who have to deal
with the delicate problems relating to
our foreign policy. His service has
been a continual demonstration of the
fact that the confidence of his col
leagues in his judgment was not mis-
placed.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The bridge over the Wupperthal at
Mungsten, Germany, which was opened
to railway traffic on July l. 1897 is $50
feet high, 1880 feet long, and has a
central span of $50 feet. it being the
highest European bridge with the eX-
ception of the Garabit -viaduct, in
southern France, which is $50 feet in
height.
Dentists in Germany are using false
teeth made of paper. instead of Dorce-
lain or mineral composition. These pa
Fer teeth are said to be very satisfac-
tory, as they do not break or chip: are
rot sensitive to heat or cold, and are
not susceptible to the moisture of the
nouth, and, from their peculiar COM
position, they are very cheap.
The first pawnbroking establishment
was that of FreiSingen,. in Bavaria,
opened in 1889 In 1850 there was one
at Salins, in Franche-Comte, and in
1861 there was one opened in London.
None of these were, however, success
ful. The present Paris Mont de Piete
was established in M, in the same
street where the head office now is.
An old and faithful servant of the
Dean and Chapter of Wells, by name
Charles Cardwell, born April 9, 1888,
died last month. For IS years he had
daily rung the cathedral bell for mathis
ard evensong, and during this time he
had tolled the parting knells of three
kings, of five bishops of the diocese,
and of six deans of the cathedral
church.
The Spanish soldier is a frugal liver

Toussaint POuverture's translation to

A remarkable instance of the thumb
mark method of identifying a criminal
is recorded in Bengal. A prisoner had
committed a murder which seemed to
leave no clue behind N whatever, but.
in turning over the papers of his vic
tim, he had, by chance smudged an at
las with his thumb. In Bengal they
preserve an impression of the thumb
of everyone who has been convicted of
a crime, and the atlas was sent off for
the inspection of experts.

7 United States is Unexpectedly called
upon to deal with this situation in a
very broad way.
THUS, new problems which involve
the welfare of our own people and our
lines of future policy are UP for early
consideration. In the forecasts of the
future of the Philippines and Caroline
islands, the subject is brought within
the reach of definite calculation by
the presence of alternative conditions
each of which is impossible.
They are; first, that those islands
cannot in any event be left under the
dominion of Spain; and, second, that
they cannot be governed directly by the
civil authority of the United States,
without being included in our terri
torial limits by annexation. The cause
of the war with Spain is her inability
to govern her colonies so as to make
them tolerable as neighbors to other
civilized countries, or so as to prevent
those who respect humanity in its
plainest rights from interfering to pro-
