NO TREATY OF ALLIANCE YET.
BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES
AND ENGLAND.
A Healthy and Desirable Growth
of Friendship on Both Sides,
But No Agreement.

WASHINGTON, May 30-Inquiry at
the State Department and at the Brit
iSh Embassy fails to develop any SUBJ
Stantial basis for the SuppoSition that
negotiations are afoot looking to a close
compact between. the United States and
Great Britain covering all possible sub
jects of difference, comforting special
trade privileges on both parties, pro-
viding for the joint use of the Nicarag-
uan Canal and embracing what would
amount to an alliance, offensive and de-
fensive, to the end that Great Britain
may enjoy in peace her Asiatic posses
sions, while the United States will have
a share of the trade in that quarter,
and will be secured also in the applica-
ton of the Monroe doctrine
All of these subjects have been dis
cussed from time to time in the press
of the United States and England, and
the probable basis for the coalition at
this time is to be found in Mr.. Cham
berlain's speech. recently delivered
which has aroused so much interest on
both hemispheres.
So far as the Nicaraguan Canal is
concerned it is pointed out that if the
United States contemplated joint use of
that means of communication, there
would be no necessity for including
such a provision in a treaty, inasmuch
as the same result would be attained by
a simple affirmation that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, under the terms of
which both the United States and Great
Britain declared for joint control of any
waterway to be. constructed in the fu-
ture, is still in force. The trade rela-
tons are even now being adjusted on
a new basis through the drafting of an
agreement by Sir Julian Pauncefote for
Great Britain and Mr.. Kasson for the
United States, under the terms of the
reciprocity sections of the Dingley bill
This has advanced almost to compile
ton, and the result may be proclaimed
within the next week, unless some un-
foreseen delays are encountered
The talk of union on an interpreta-
ton of the Monroe doctrine is rather
sentimental than practical at this
stage. and there is the best of authority
for the statement that the subject has
not been preached in any manner in
the diplomatic exchanges of the two
Governments since the celebrated pas
Marquis of Salisbury during the nego-
lldIlOIlS lIdt leu up ~ bllc NSllSZuSldIi
arbitration agreement
As to the relations. of the United
States and Great Britain and the Ash
attic trade there is no reason to believe
there has been any change in the policy
of our own Government, which while
animated by the kindliest feeling to-
ward the British, and approaching
what has been done by Great Britain
to Hberalize Chinese trade, has con-
fined it's efforts TO the single object of
protecting American trade from invid

ious discrimination; and so far, it is be,
lieVed, with signal success.
BY the British officials here much
significance is felt at the conspicuous
growth of friendship by the English
speaking people on. both sides. of 1.-The
water, but it is the view in these circles
that it is a healthy and desirable
growth which cannot find immediate
expression in formal treaties or con-
tentions. Such large results are hoped
for in the course of time as the. result of
public opinion. Meantime there is a
disposition to adopt a conservative
view as to what should be attempted
at the present moment The reports
that far-reaching agreements are under
consideration or about to be made are
looked upon as very prejudfcial to the
accomplishment of many real results.
AS stated sby a, leading diplomatic off
cial to-day radical criticism of Great
Britain has apparently given away to
radical sympathy, and in both cases
this radicalism misleads people in hav-
ing false. expectations and false, fears,
and serves to defeat those conservative
results which are secured only by pa
tience and mature elaboration.
TALK OF TRIPLE ALLIANCE. &"
NEW YORK, May 30.--A dispatch to
the Herald" from Berlin says:
II am in a position to inform you that
the English officers" expression of
friendship to Germany, ambiguously
referred to by Joseph Chamberlain at
Birmingham, were of most decided
character In fact, they have taken
official, as we'll as non-official Germany
rather by surprise.
1T is even asserted here that the pro
ject, includes a possible colonial conces-
sion of great value to Germany, pre-
sumably as the price for drawing Ger
many away from Russia.
II have also authority for the state
fnent that the idea of England, Ger
many and America joining hands Is be-
ing seriously entertained, not so much
here as in Washington and London,
whence it is forced on German atten-
fion.
: The rumor that Sir Frank Lascelles
was about to be transferred from here
is utterly unfounded. The British En-
bassador is persona grattissima with
the Emperor" ~

TO Louis D. Winter, Committee on
Memorial Day Exercises-My Dear Sir:
My engagements here, the nature. of
which is we'll known, will prevent my
taking part in the Memorial Day exer-
cises at Gettysburg this year, attend
ance upon which, under other circum-
stances, would afford me especial graft
fication
Time enhances the lasting value,
and demonstrates anew the true signifi-
canoe of these inspiring patriotic OBJ
servances. Whatever may be the
character of it's temporary problems,
this liberty loving nation is not and
never can be forgetful Of the immortal
heroes of the civil war. For those who
served, as we'll as for those who fell at
Gettysburg-no so peaceful and beau
tifully adorned with the highest crea-
tons of sculptorS-Our reunited fellow
countrymen, without regard to locality
creed or political faith, have an abid-
ing respect and the most cordial esteem.
To-day those who contended on this
historic field nearly thirty-five years
ago, and the descendants, are muster
ing under the same flag, enthusiastic
in their devotion to the nation and will
ing to make any sacrifice for it's honor.
The debt of gratitude which we owe
to the nations defenders can never. be
completely repaid by this or future gen.
erations. The acknowledgment of this
each year in various forms, and in va
rious places throughout this broad land,
purifes our ideas and brings us all
nearer together in sympathy of senti-
ment and unity of purpose.
mo time could be more appropriate
than the present to approach in a fit
ting spirit these sacred themes of a love
of country and the rights of man. Gen
erations come and go, and the issues for
which they fought and died soon pass
into history. But the living principles
of undertakings worthily accomplished,
for AN unselfish purpose, abide forever
and guide us to a nobler destiny and
still greater achievements as a nation.
Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM MCKINLEY"

WASHINGTON, May 30-In the CEN

Cemetery at Arlington, President Nc

The ceremonies were held simultan-

The President and party were very
prompt in arriving, and soon after they
reached the platform the assembly was
called to order by Commander Arthur
Hendricks of the Department of the
Potomac, @. A. r. The exercises en-
braced, a number of addresses, poems,
singing by a quartet and the customary
reading of orders.
The feature of the ceremonies, how

Thurston Of Nebraska, who was intro
duced as one always ready to lend his
aid to the cause of liberty and patriot
ism His grafton was listened TO almost
attentively by the audience, and pro-

the presence of Admiral Dewey in the

THE DAY AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, May 30:-In addition to
the great number of graves of Union
soldiers, 5000 Confederate dead lie
buried in cemeteries here. Not one of
them, Northerner or Southerner, was
overlooked to-day.
After the ceremonies at the cemeter-
les to-day there was a magnificent pa
rade in the heart of the city. The line
of march was decorated with national
colors The city has never before on
Decoration Day seen such an enthusiast
tic outpouring as greeted the old SOL
diers to-day. Practically the whole
population turned out to honor the vet
Grams and cheer the volunteer defend
ers.
The parade was composed Of six d.
visions, and was participated in by
about all the military organizations, Sc
cret societies and marching clubs of the
city The cheers We're loudest when
the Ninth Battalion of colored soldiers,
under Captain Marshall, fell into line
They will be the first to go out under

The trial docket contained III cases. In
the divorce cases the first TO be heard was
the one of Mary Matthena, praying for a d.
vorce from her husband, William Matthena,
on the grounds of desertion and failure to
provide. 1t was granted and she was given
the custoday of her minor children. Tin
McDonough was also granted a divorce from
her husband, George McDonough. The next
was the legal separation of Randolph A.
