Anarchist Conference a Success.

LONDON, Dec. 19.-The Rome cor
respondent of the Times says: 81 have
reason to believe that the international
anarchist conference which has been in
session here for several weeks has proved
a success. Great secrecy is maintained
regarding the proceedings and conclu-
sions, but the delegates seem satisfied
that they have laid splendid founda-
ton for uniform system Of dealing
with anarchists. The conference de-
clines to recognize anarchist outrages as
political crimes"

Senator George #. Hoar of Massachusetts
the Leading Speaker at Charleston.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.--Over 400 sons
of New England sat down last night at
the esd annual dinner Of the New En-
gland society of New York City, at the
Waldorf Astoria. The guests inclu led
many prominent men, among them
Brayton Ives, Eihu Root, j. P. Nor
gan, Joseph H. Choate, General Hamil-
ton S. Hawkins, General William r.
Shafter, Governor Dyer of Rhode ISL
and, Admiral William T. Sampson, Col
onei Theodore Roosevelt, General Jo-
seph Wheeler, General Wesley Merritt.
Former Governor Roswell z. Flower,
O. P. Huntington and Former Vice
President Levi p. Morton.
General Merritt spoke as follows:
1--WE have great work before us.
What we have done and what the ad-
ministration has done has been in the
interest of the country. There is a
great deal that approaches us from
every side in the tropics. We can ex-
tend our commerce there and we can
extend the trade of America, which is
now three fourths of it limited to the
tropics to an enormous extent. We
have the English feeling with us when
we are in the colonies of England.
ga great many people have insisted
that the constitution forbids it. To
these I have said: We have outgrown
the constitution We are here and we
are here to stay. 1t is not worth while
for me to extend my remarks for the
purpose of convincing you gentlemen
that everything is in our favor in the
far east. Our trade with China, the
Philippines, with Japan, and all those
things point to a result that we have TO
contemplate, that we have to accept.
We could not do less. Admiral Dewey
could not have withdrawn his fleet
from Manila bay after he had entered it
May LIST. The army sent there could
not leave the Spaniards in command.
What may be the result do not care to
prognosticate, but l am satisfied that
Americans will find a solution for the
matter, however difficult it may be. !"
General Shafter spoke on "The
Army" General Wheeler paid a trib-
ute to Colonel Roosevelt and told of the
campaign in Cuba. He referred to ex.
pansion and said that while he would
not discuss that question, yet this coun.
try could not back down from the task
imposed ON it by providence. President
McKinley's trip to the south, he said,
would do more to cement the north and
south than anything else since the war.

Teller Talks For r,xpansion.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-Senator Tel
Ter occupied the first half of Tuesday s
session with speech in advocacy of tbs
theory that there are no restrictions
upon the right of the United States to
expand it's borders so as to include far
distant territory. He went quite thor
oughly into the legal points bearing
upon the question, and also incidentally
discussed at some length the fem Of
government for the Filipinos, saying
that he would encourage self govern
menG among the islanders and would
give them the most liberal government
which they were capable of conducting,
but that he would not take down the
American flag where once planted. The
remainder Of the session was given up
to the Nicaragua canal bill. Senator
Caffery was the only speaker on this
subject and he opposed the Morgan bill

My neighbor, Mr.. S., was easily
induced to join the party, also
friend of his who was staying with
him. So in all we were party of
four, including the man who had
seen the tiger. Mr.. S. had repeat
ing shotgun, his German friend
rifle which would not go off, our
guide double barreled shotgun and
myself a IA rifle. 1t took US about
three-quarters of an hour to reach
the edge of the forest, where the
tiger had been seen. Here the dogs
became very excitable, taking the
fresh trail with spirit. No one who
has not hunted in a tropical forest
can realize how hard it is to make
ones way through the bush. 1t is
matter of patience and machete
work.
Our German friend concluded to
sit himself down on log and await
developments while the rest of us
followed after the dogs We sup.
posed the old tiger would not travel
far, and this proved to be good
guess. What with the barking of
the dogs and the noise we made cut

till we came to snarl of an old tree

There were no signs of the old

when told that his gun would not
shoot and, in fact, threw the gun
down on the ground and said that
he would be blowed if he would car

out for it. l took the little tiger
home with me and kept him some
time, but the facts are that the cook
overfed him, and he died from the
effects.
We all enjoyed our Christmas din
