porary history knew something Of the
Philippines. To most people, however,
they werc q mere geographical abstrac-
tion,' a group Of inconsequential islands
somewhere of the coast Of Asia. When
the news Of Admiral Dewey's victory
was received, there was, therefore,
much searching Of aliases and encyclo-
pedias, and IL is now beginning to be
realised that though the elephant may
have an unsainsy and neglected appear
ance there are good points about him,
and the belief is growing that he might,
with skillfAl management and proper
care, be made q tractable and useful ami
NAL. as
How this shall be done is q question
which few are prepared to answer. In
the words OF q distinguished senator
who has been considered In time past q
possible presidential candidate: ''It is a
question on which a public man ought
not to express himself offhand. We are
entering upon q new era--an era of
commercial expansion, II hot territorial
expansion. We will need coaling sta
tions for our IN and our navy,
and that much we will keep in the Phil
ippines at any rate. What we shall do
with the islands will DO determined aft
sr the war is over, when we have had
time to take ON inventory of what we
havo secured We can then have the
benefit of the shrowd observation of Ma
jor General Merritt and cnn form an in
telligent opinion of the character and
capabilities OF the inhabitants Of the is
lands. II we find they are capable of
managing their own affairs, their future
destiny may be left largely In their own
hands, and the problem which now
seems so difficult to rs may be solved In
much the same manner as Great Brit
ain has solved tho Egyptian question"
Senator Foraker Of Ohio, Republic
an member of the committee on foreign
relations, Is n Of tho men who do not
believe that the United States is incapa-
bleof' managing distant possessions or
Of solving any problem thnt the retcn.
ton Of the Philippines might present.
He does not believe that the Anglo-Sax-
ons of the western hemisphere are any
less capable of maintaining n policy
which makes for the development of a
worldwide commerce than tho Anglo
Saxons Of Great Britain. Ho said re-
Gently:
II think we should take oil we can

what to do with il. My present impress
sion is to keep permanently all we are
likely TO capture, but, however that
may be, nothing should be returned to
Spain In any event."
Senator Hale. chairman Of the com.
mites ON naval Affairs, was prompt to
say that he was not for the acquisition
Of the Philippines. 1--WE shall" said
the senator from Maine, "undoubtedly
pulverize Spin and drive her from this

wellington and the Toad.

Napoleon was worshiped and feared, but
men loved and adored the Iron Duke. OF
the former, how few are the kindly human
traits recorded, while of the other to
this day fresh proofs keep coming to light
of simple sweetness dwelling long in the
minds of menl The following anecdote
concerning a letter lately exhumed may
serve as one instance out of thousand IL
Illustrating the sympathetic nature of the
great commander. The letter, so far as my
memory serves, was I'm some such terms as
these:
Field Marshal the Duke of wellington
begs tn inform William Harris that his
toad Is alive and well.''
1t seems that the duke, in the course of
country stroll, had come upon little
boy weeping bitterly over a toad. A
strange trio they must have been-the
lean, keen eyed old soldier, the flushed,
sobbing boy, and between them the wrin-
killed. reptile squatting, with fearless eyes
and throbbing sides The boy wept be-
cause he was going TO school next day. He
had come daily to feed his toad. The little
heart was racked with grief because no
feared his darling would be neglected
when he was gone and might starve The
dukes heart was as soft as the boys, for
he undertook TO see that the toad was
looked after, and the letter above quoted

irish societies is union of the Hiber-
MAN literary and social clubs about the
city. A hundred or more clubs are in.
cluded, with Mr.. John T. Heating rs
president. Both these big concerns,
with all their component factors, have
united in an effort to make Chicago's
celebration Of the centennial of 1898 as
imposing and memorable an occasion as
their combined numbers and resources
can provide.
The great pilgrimage from American
shores will make its start from New
York. The Ninety eight Centennial as
ISOLATION is arranging for the charter of
an entire fleet of the fastest steamships
that cross the Atlantic. Nearly 5000
people already have signifiad their in
tention Of going in this party. While
the celebration in Ireland may be pro-
tracted through the entire summer, the
most important exercises will be held
during the visit of the American con-
tingent. Bourke Cochran has been Sc
lected as chief orator of the celebration.
IL Is expected that his memorial adj
dress, now in preparation, will surpass
any previous rhetorical effort of his life
and become permanent and worthy
addition to Irish literature.
The excursion is we'll organized. The
officers of the association will sail on a
special vessel, which will act as flag
ship to the fleet. 1t will leave New
York on the Fourth of July. Arrange
ments have been made providing the
round trip, first class, railroad and car
riage fares and hotel accommodations
for nine days in Ireland all for $160.
Tickets will be good for one year after

ment may be made in four installments
before March 81 next.

given the visitors from America upon

which make the reception in that city
an assured success. In Dublin it is pre-
posed to ley the foundation stone of a
great national memorial to the heroes
OF 1898. The exercises will consist in
large part of visits to the historic bat
tlefields.
The presence of vast body of Amer
ican-Irish at these ceremonies is look
ed to as stimulus TO the national feel
ing among the Irish people. 1t was the
success OF the American Revolution that
inspired the Irish instruction. Ii is to
America that Ireland looks for her ex-
ample of progress and freedom. During
the actual celebration, at least, Irish
fractional feelings will be laid aside, re-
placed by a strong sentiment of national
unity. 1t Is the lack Of unity that has
acted as barrier to the progress of
Irish gain in political rights; it is the
hope of some of the leaders that the
brotherly feeling inspired by the COM
ing revival of patriotism will prove
lasting and that the allegiance of non
resident Hibernians may be freshly ex-
cited and strengthened.
However, part of the plan for the
exercises is 90 carefully omit any and
all discussion or mention Of matters of
contemporary politics. Unification,
nothing more, is the present purpose.
What the whole movement may bring
to unhappy Ireland it would require
prophet to predict.
Concerning the visitors from Amer
lea, John f. Redmond says: "Their
presence in Ireland must inevitably
tend to stimulate the national feeling Of
the people, and therefore to strengthen
the national movement and / should
not be surprised if one of the results Of
their visit would be that the dissensiuns
and troubles of the last few years would
