The American University Club gave its

French tricolor.

We're present.
General Horace Porter. in the course of
his remarks, dwelt upon the special rea-
sons America has for giving thanks in The
present year, saying that special thanks
were due to Providence and the soldiers Of
America for the outcome of the war with
Spain. General Porter said:
within a week the United States will
have concluded substantially peace
treaty. 1t will be such a treaty as will
secure all the fruits of our victories. Our
people have Endorsed the principle of eX-
pansion. Many Americans who opposed
the war now admit that America is JUS
titled il, discarding the swaddling clothes
of infancy and extending the privileges
of her freedom as widely as possible.
THE war has made us respected abroad
and stopped sectionalism at home They
were wise and patriotic Americans who
saw the wisdom of freeing Cuba and of
giving good government to the Philippines.
The war made the Americans so that

ACTIVITY IN HAV A N A
Prospect of American Occupation Affects
Business Favorably.
Crime and Corruption Flourish Under
Spain's Waning RuIe-Oficials
Playing Grab Game.

An Associated Press dispatch from Ha-
vana, Cuba, yesterday says:
The last few days have seen a revival of
activity in every quarter. Things appear to
take on more definite forms in every branch
OF military occupation. Here at Havana
wharves are being built and railway con-
nectlons made. The camps chosen have
actually begun to be constructed. Govern
ment boats and supplies are arriving, and
the first installment of United States troops
is expected on Friday. At the custom
house the archives are being packed hur-
rtedly, preparatory to turning over the
building to the American authorities The
best energies of the Spanish now seem bent
upon an immediate evacuation of the is
land
All this has had a salutary effect upon
the general tone of commercial and social
life in the city, which looks to the imme-
diate future for relief from a long season
OF doubt and Stagnation.
With the advent of cooler weather the
health of the general public has improved
NO new cases of yellow fever among for
elgners have been recorded, and the situa-
ton can be said to be viSiby better
There are, however two discordant notes
the increase of crime and the continuance
or official corruption. The newly constitut-
ed police force, known as rifleres guberna-
yves, armed with machetes and rifles is to-
tally inadequate to cope with the criminal
classes, whose ranks are daily swollen by
the return of deported prisoners from the

PRESIDENT IGLESlAS HERE
He and Mr.. Mckinley Exchange
Calls.
Accorded HonOrs Due the Head of a
Sovereign Government and
Sister Republic.

President Iglesias of Costa RIGA arrived
mere yesterday afternoon, and, although
travelling incognito, was accorded all the
honors fitting to the visit of the President
of a sovereign government and sister re-
public. Colonel Carter of the adjutant gen.
erals office had met the president and his
party at New York and accompanied them
to Washington.
On their arrival here they were met at
the station by Colonel Bingham, as the per-
sonal representative of the President, who
escorted the party to carriages in waiting.
President Iglesias, Minister Calvo of Costa
RIGA and Colonies Carter and Bingham en-
tered the first carriage and We're driven to
the Arlington Hotel where they were join
ed by the remaining members of the party,
including DR.. Ulloa, former secretary of in
terror and now Costa Rican consul general
at New York. two brothers of President Ig-
lesias, Colonel Quesada of the army, w. II.
Lynn, the presidents brother-in-law and
several members of the presidents personal
staff. The party was assigned the extern
sive suite of apartments used by distin
gulshed guests, including Presidents-eect
prior to their inauguration.
Shortly after the presidents arrival Sec
rotary Porter called to ask when it would
be agreeable for Mr.. Iglesias to receive the
President of the United States, who desired
to pay his respects. An immediate engage
ment was made, and soon thereafter Presi-
dent Mckinley, accompanied by Secretary
Porter, and Colonel Bingham, the latter in
full uniform, drove from the White House
to the hotel. They were met at the door
way by Minister Calvo and Colonel Carter
and escorted to President Iglesias' private
parlor.
The meeting of the two PRESIDENTS was
most cordial and entirely devoid of formali-
ties. They chatted together about five min
utes, exchanging good wishes, President
Mckinley wishing President Iglesias most
pleasant visit in this country. This official
formality over, another of like nature
followed when President Iglesias returned
Mr.. Mckinleys call. The Costa Rican
president was accompanied to the White
House by the officials of his party, and
received by President Mckinney, with
another exchange of good wishes, The party
then returned to the hotel, where dinner
was served in it's private lining apart
ment.
A dinner will be given at the White House
in honor of the visiting president some time
next week.

AN ICE-BREAKING VESSEL.
Lar gcst in the World just Built L
Keep the Baltic Open.

Lar gcst IN the world just buflt TO
Keep the Baltic Open.
There has just been launched IN England,
at the yards Of Armstrong, Whitworth &
Company, what is, without doubt, the larg
est ice-breaking steamer in the world, for
it's displacement is no less than 5000 tons.
This is built for the Russian government,
which is going to make an effort on large
scale to keep the Baltic open all the winter.
Besides this vast ice-crusher the ce-break-
ers Of the Canadian lakes, which are able
to crush through four feet Of ice, are mere
infants. The new Russian boat is provided
with forward propeller, which is calcu-
lated to vastly assist in the crushing pro-
cess, by disturbing the water under the ice
and depriving 1t of support The stern of
the ice-breaker is cut into a recess, into
which the stern of another vessel can be
securely dashed and thus attain the utmost
protection from her powerful consort Be-
sides conveying merchant ships the ice
breaker is capable of carrying herself a
heavy cargo. 1t is confidently expected
that through her agency the principal trade
routes which depend on Baltic ports will
be kept open in winter and thus provide
continuous employment to an enormous Sec
ton of the community.

NO FAITH IN OUR PROMISES.
German Press Criticizes the "Onen
Door" PhiIippine POLICY

LONDON, November 2i.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times, who remarks this
morning upon the 'skepticsm of the Ger
man critics regarding the sincerity of
Americas intention to adopt the open door
policy in the Philippines" and calls atten-
ton to German speculations on the pros
pect of protection in the American possess
sions in the Pacific says:
The Neuste Nachrichten draws attention
to the treaty of 1877 between Spain, Great
Britain and Germany, securing freedom of
trade in the Sulu archipelago for Anglo
German shipping and says that Prince Bis
Marck at that time successfully contested
SPANS claim to have the Sulus regarded as
belonging to the Philippine group"
me correspondent draws attention to the
fact that section of the German press
hastly assumes that America will claim
the Sulus," and suggests that this is a point
upon which an understanding with Great
Britain. with a view to joint action ap-
pears Indispensable.
The Times commenting editorially upon
the dispatch from its Berlin correspond
ent says:
1T is easy enough to understand that the
Germans are eager to find flaws in the An
Slo-American understanding For our part
We have always been aware that there are
d'fncultieS In the way of adopting the open
door as that policy is usually understood
here. But We have never. for an instant,
doubted the sincerity of the United States
government or its ability to devise some
means OF substantially securing the results
aimed at.
Secretary Hay explains that the ordinary
American tariff will be enforced against
everybody. For all international purposes
that is the open door policy. Economical
purists may argue that, as the tariff re-
stricts trade, the door is only partially open,
but whatever force that argument holds,
il is of purely domestic application. Equal
ity of treatment and absence of differential
duties are the essence OF the open door
policy as between nation and nation Reve-
nue. is Indispensable, and 1t is immaterial
