AnElO7American League.
London. Sept. St-United States Ambas-
sador Hay today received an address from
the executive committee of the Anglo
American League. The presentation tooa
place at Mr.. Hays residence. The COM
mittee was headed by the chairman of
that body, Prof, James Bryce. M. P, and
the address was signed on behalf of the
committee by the chairman, the honorable
treasurer and the honorable secretaries.
Mr.. Bryce said.
Il venture TO say that its terms are
necessarily formal. as we speak to you
IN your Official capacity. and / fear they
are far from conveying the regret we feel
at your departure or the sense we enter
tain OF your services"
The speaker then touched upon the
grace and brightness of Col Hays
speeches. his 'unfailing tact in the dis
charge OF his duties and his genial char
acter and manners. which had won all
hearts. They should regret his departure
more ne said. but for the fact that
causes it.
May / add he continued, ''that your
stay and departure have received from
the events of this year deeper significance
than usually attaches to the retirement

ton for Col. Hays splendid gifts and

not only in the friendly relations of the
Two governments. but also. In a sense,
essential to the unity of the two peoples
ana TO their political and economic in
terests. which are bound together by a
hundred ties. not only in kinship, but in
intellectual and moral sympathy.
I'VE trust Prof. Bryce concluded,
that 1t will be your privilege and that
or the President to see this sympathy
yearly grow stronger until the principle.

solid friendship between the two great

becomes established as the fundamental
principle of the policy and the proper
guide and action for both nations"
In responding. Col Hay said that 1t
was not in his power to give adequate
expression to the gratitude he felt for the
generous words spoken to him. He express
ed qualification for the expressions of ma
tional good will, by men who were quail
fled by experience and character to speak
for the British people. The individual
voice, he added, had such sanction,
but he assured the delegation that the
sentiments expressed by them were re-
ciprocated in the United States.
His work had been made easy by the
instructions he had received from Wash
ington, and by the frankness, fairness
and courtesy he had met from all quar-
ters. in fact from all Englishmen he had
come In contact with.
On both sides of the ocean there was
a conviction that a clear, cordial, and
friendly understanding between Great
Britain and the United States was a
necessity to civilization. In conclusion

The Ia3e Ifeut. wheeler,

In less than a month poor young
Thomas H. Wheeler would have re-
turned to his studies at Annapolis.
Now he lies cold and stark, a helpless
victim of the mighty surf at Montauk
Point His death is peculiarly sad
under the circumstances. A mere slip
of a boy in his first year at the Naval
Academy, he responded to his country's
call at the earliest sound of the
trumpet Although but eighteen years
old, ne could claim the honors of a
veteran. He had distinguished himself
in the actions before Santiago, and
had been mentioned for gallantry in
general orders.
A brilliant future seemed to await
the boy, who could proudly call him
self soldier and sailor. too" He is
cut off in the bud of his youth. A gal
liant soldier child, the love and pride of
noble sire, has been cruelty done to
death by the pitiless ocean. 1t may be
said with truth that a whole nation
bows its head in sympathy for Gen.
Wheeler and his family.
Inscrutable and awful are the ways
of Providence

Iumbus's Remains Brought There.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer has been
considering the bones of Columbus. and
out OF this rather solemn subject extracts
some reflections which. contrasted with
the Spanish editors ideas on the same
subject, are rather humorous. 1t says:
IF the late Admiral Columbus is given
another funeral il will be his fifth. Per-
haps there never was such hustling of
dry bones known in the annals of human
greatness. First came the plain interment
at ValladoHd, then the somewhat more
ornate burial at Seville, then the senti-
mental removal to San Domingo and
finally the extremely glittering entombing
at Havana. And now the Duke of Vera
qua, unworthy scion of the Colon house,
vehemently demands that his illustrious
relation be brought across the sea and in
TERED for the fifth time. He asks, and a
chorus of Spanish editors join in the ap-
peal, that the Spanish Peace Commission
ers insist upon this transferral The soil
contaminated by the Yankee Is no fit abid-
ing place for the astrological remnants of
the pseudo-Spaniard. Veragua and the
editors fail to remember that Columbus
was loaded with chains and ignominy by
the ungrateful Spaniards. They fail to re-
member that he passed the last year of
his weary life in exile and in poverty
They only remember that the hated Yam
kee will soon be master of the resting
place of the peripa tetic remains, and the
thought is hateful to them.
When the Columbus tomb in San Do
mingo was opened it was found that there
were three caskets exactly alike. The

bones was. taken quite by guesswork and
