WELCOME ABEYANCE.

In some respects the value OF the Presi-
dents message is moro in what he doesn't
say than what he does say. This applies
especially TO the Philippines issue. Dis
cussion Of and recommendations regard
ing that issue he proposes to hold in abey-
ance until the treaty Of peace shall have
been signed. And we are not so certain
that II will not be a good thing for the
country IL this allegiance continues for
quite a season. Certainly, 1T would seem
that the country has nothing to lose IT.,
in the mean time, the public shall come
10 understand fully the meaning Of i'm
perialism.
The other day Senator Hale, OF Maine,
in an interview in which he vigorously
antagonized expansion, predicted that
there would be long fight in the Senate
over the treaty that MIR. Mckinley 8
commissioners are formulating at Paris,
expressed the opinion that 1t was uncer-
tain whether 1t would ever be ratified, and
then went on to say:
"The responsibility is so vast and the
| solicltude of the public so great that am
pie time will be given to its discussion
and to getting the real facts hefoTe the
American people.
"Many things will be found cut which
are now not known, and the evils OF the
proposed annexation will so .'row upon
! the public mind and upon Congress and
upon the President that It is by no means
unlikely that within six months or year
everybody. instead OF being for anneXa,
ton OF the islands, will want TO be wei
rid OF them"
In other words, Senator Hale believes
that time and public thought are al tha'
are necessary to defeat imperialism. II
| he Is not mistaken it follows that the
longer the delay in the treaty's getting
before the Senate the greater VIII lie the
chances Of a victory for anti-imperialism
Already "the evils of the proposed an
nexation." such as militarism, new race
problems, continued burdensome taxation
the revival Of carpet-bagism, and danger
70 our republican institutions are grow
ing upon the public mind. And the mor'
time that elapses ere the anti-expansion
/ ,sts In the Senate are called upon to slim
ulate the growth. the greater the posi-
bilitles that 1t will yield good fruit.

Another northeaster swept down upon

The rainfall was extremely heavy. Al

and it was still raining, not in drops, par

The morning predictions Of the Weather

sARGAsso SEA sERPENTs.
Capt. Donovan's Precise statement
Backed Up by an Amdavit.
mobile Daily RegisterD

iAlODllC Ddily INcoASNSAI
IT seems that we will have to admit
that there are serpents in the sea. The
statement Of Captain Joseph Donovan,
OF the British steamship Selma, backed
by the signed statements of his officers,
his helmsmen, and several other members
of his crew, cannot well be digcredIted.
According to the Captain, he saw the
serpent on July Sth, while the ship was ia
SargassO Sea, that portion OF the Norm
Atlantic ocean where continued CAIN
prevails and where the waters have 50
little current that great mass OF sea-
weed and other vegetable growth mas
gathered. It is possible that animals not
found elsewhere on the globe have sur
vived in that little-visited and neVer-ois-
turbed portion of the sea.
Captain Donovans story is precise. He
was 800 miles southeast OF the Bermudas,
the day was perfectly clear. and the sea
was like glass. The mate saw strange
object off the port bow, and the captain
examined IL with his glasses. IT was about
500 Yards distant, moving in a course pa
rallel with that Of the ship, and at about
the same speed as the ship IL had a
body about 40 feet long, large head,
with long bill, and blew water from It's
mouth like a man when swimming. When
the ship was steered in the direction OF
the monster 1t bumped It's back ana dis,
