enough votes for any one senatorial

A MIXED RACE.
Americans Are u People Composed
OF Almost All the Other Ma
tiOnalItien.

Not all Americans are Anglo-Saxons.
Even in the south. where the proper
lion of people drawn from that source
is greatest, there are strong infusions
Of French, Irish and Scotch-Irish blood.
In the west are extensive German, Irish
and Scandinavian populations, in the
east a vast Irish population, a large
Canadian French element, and an i'm
mense number of Germans. Even what
is called the Anglo-Saxon stock is mixed
with Dutch, Huguenot and Scottish
contributions. When this country has
lighting to do She does not look to one
race among her people, but to all, and
her foreign relations cannot be planted
ON the attinitics of Anglo-Americans, or
uny other ethnic element, says the SYRIA
cuse Standard.
When we have cleared our minds of
error, prejudice and injustice, enabling
ourselves to understand what Ameri.
canism means--how it is not the pre-
dominance OF any race or religion-we
& shall perceive the exact worth and
character OF the friendship subsisting
between Great Britain and the United
States. There is a common language;
there is common law: there are many
common political ideas; there are COM
mon interests in trade, SO that the pros
perity OF the one Ia more or less inter-
twined with the prosperity Of the other;
and lastly both are free states, having
an active. educated public intelligence,
peculiarly responsive to the appeals of
q universal humanity.

AN ANIMAL PARADISE.
DOGs and Cattle OF All Kinds Are

The animals which are lucky enough
TO live in Holland are fortunate crea-
lures. Cows and pigs dot the land

most Of the time in dark, sitting little
stables because there are no fences, and
otherwise the animals would stray,
says the Chicago Evening News.
The happiest dogs live in the Hague,
for muZZles are not compelled, and
everyone seems TO take his dog along
when he goes for an airing. a touch
ing story connected with the history
of William the Silent. prince of Orange,
may have had an influence in disposing
the Dutch people to general regard
and love for dogs. On the monument
of this prince in church al Delft is an
inscription referring to a favorite dog
of his. On one occasion when he was
in great danger from Spanish assassins
who were about 10 enter the tent where
he lay asleep the dog jumped on his bed
and by barking loudly uwoke him in

when he was assassinated, the same
dog is said to have pinned away and died
of grief. The fine statue Of William at
The Hague also has the dog at his feet,
looking atfectionately up to the face of

WATCH THEM CLOSELY.
Been Playing q Little Game
of Th ir Own.

During the progress of the coming
struggle and directly after its termin-
alton let US not forget to keep an eye
on those two glorious old patriots
the gemini Of the republic Mark
Hanna and Steve Elkins. By OBJ
serving them closely we may be able
to get line upon what they have
been playing for during these last
two months.
There have been various conjec-
lures as to "what there was in it" for
Messrs. Elkins and Hanna. No one.
Of course, has credited them with
anything save mercenary motives
But precisely what turn their greed
and acquisitiveness had taken has
been good deal Of puzzle. One
thing has been evident right along
the two patriots have been in terror
lest the Maso government should be
recognized. They have, it is true,
fought every proposition looking to
war, but when the pressure became
overwhelming they surrendered that
point.
But they have never ceased to OPP
pose with the energy Of despair every
attempt to give insurgents the stand
ing Of nation. They have brought
to bear every possible inauence-po.
itical, social and tinancial-to defeat
recognition. They have haunted the
white house day and night; they
have utilized the full power of the
administration; they have left DO
stone unturned, no trick untried in
order to defeat formal acknowledge
ment Of Cuban IN dependence. And
they have succeeded. The Maso
government is not recognized by the
JOINT resolution.
But what are they going to get out
Of it? That IS what we shall discover
il we watch the events Of the next
few weeks. Meanwhile we can only
conjecture, AMI conjecture is poor
and unsatisfactory amusement. Mr..
Polo y Bernabe might tell if LIE were
disposed to talk. So might the
Rothschilds. There are a dozen the
cries equally plausible-and equally
discreditable which would fit the
case. We shall have to await facts,
and the facts sooner or later will be
disclosed.
If not during the war, certainly
soon after the conclusion Of peace.
we shall know. pretty nearly, why
two senators of the United States
strained every nerve i'll an attempt to
compromise national insult, why
they defeated the recognition of Gu
ban independence and why thoy
stand today the targets Of contempt
and snorn for the whole country.
1t is all coming out pretty soon,
and it is going to make mighty inter
esting reading.--Chicago Chronicle

torpedo boats made desperate effort
to destroy the American ships. They
were stopped in the nick of time, ow-
ing to the vigilance OF the men under
Capt. Phillip OF the Texas. The Texas
and the Brooklyn poured such a fur
ious shower of shells ut the torpedo
boats that the latter were forced to
turn about and seek safety in the har-
Dor. What damage they sustained is
unknown. The torpedo boats took
shelter under the forts and no attempt
To pursue them was made. 1t is

The following paragraphs are taken
from the climate crop bulletin issued
10y the weather bureau, Washington
section, of the L. S. Dept. of Agri-
culture:
The week ending Monday, May 80,
may be regarded as one entirely favor
able to crops, and the hopes OF the
farmers have been greatly raised. At
the beginning of the week there were
one or two light frosts, but they did
no serious damage. The following
! days were warmer, and the Temporal
turc rose steadily, eliminating in q
hot day, the 10Th. On that day the
! temperature rose to IS or 80 at sew
eral places. Thundershowers followed
on the 10Th, and light, steady rains
the following days, in the Eastern
section, and occasional showers in the
Western Section.
In the Western Section the mois-
ture was not urgently needed, except
by the strawberry crop, and the great
est benefit was to it. Hay also, was
greatly improved. In fact, all crops
were benefited, and all are looking
exceedingly tlourishing
Throughout the Eastern Section, ac-
cordlng to all reports, the rainfall WAS
heavy, amounting to an inch or an
inch and half in thirty-six hours,
thoroughly soaking the soil to a
depth OF ten inches or more, and re-
viving the dropping and backward
grain and vegetables in the few To-
calities that had no rain previously.

triumphant success. The land attack

Americans will be aided by the in
surgents who are gathering in force
near Santiago and are in daily-or
rather nightly-communication with
Schlcy
While we concede to the Spaniarl
bravery and patriotism, we must at
the same time write him down as the
most consummate ass that mind can
picture. A few weeks ago, Ell Ndci0nul,
Madrid paper, said that =" the Yam
kee pigs" would never dare to strike !;
that they would content themselves
with small demonstration off the
| Philippines, and that would be all:
that they would not dare go to Cuba,
but will send an army OF negroes, who
will be eaten up by the Spanish
troops. "In case our arms shall not
be triumphant, Of which it is all but
impossible to conceive, Spain can cas-
lily make an alliance with England
and take Florida, California and other
territory which the Yankees have
usurped." 4 late announcement from
Governor General Augnsti, the conf
mander at Manila, gravely states that
the U. S. cruiser Baltimore is dis
abled by an explosion which occurred
on her. Americans attempted to land
arms and ammunition ut Binacayan,
and Spanish troops, who occupied a
good position, permitted the Ameri-
cans to land, when they fell upon
them and captured their arms and am
munition." 1t is upon such meat rs

and Isle de Luzon had only their decks
protected. He declared that had
the Americans not withdrawn by
IL o'clock the Spanish intended to
steam out and die to the last man.
On Tuesday morning the Spaniards
at Santiago, becoming more and more
restless and nervous as the depressing
facts of their position took effect, be.
gan to repair and strengthen the
Notifications on Morillo Point, to the
right OF the entrance to the harbor.
Schley soon discovered what was 60
ing ON and at once prepared to stop
the work, as his orders clearly per.
mitted him to do. When MORO
Castle was in ruins and abandoned,
when the last gun in the batteries
near it was silenced, Schley gave the
signal to draw off and not until then.
He had done exactly what he came for.
He paid no attention to the fire of the
forts and batteries to the left of the
harbor, as no work was being done on
them. While Sehiey's squadron, as it
stands, is perhaps strong enough to
force the harbor and capture Cervera
still he would not think of attemptine
it. The Administration expects ia
capture Santiago shortly, but the
assault will be made by all of our
battleships, new monitors and heavy
cruisers. the idea being that it is folly
to take chances of partial failure when
with ships that are available and are
not in the least needed elsewhere, the
sea attack can be made with assured
