ANGLo-G RaAN ALLIANCE.


A London Jonr i Says 1t is Satisfied nm
Agreement Has been Reached.
London, September 3.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon says it is sat
isfied that General Angio-German
agreement hasv ven reached to act to-
esther in variot quarters Of the world.
The paper add9 that it has verified
yesterdays info1 alton and as an in
stance of when q >many's support will
prove exceedingly Useful, it points out
that the fall Of % thurman will change
Great Britain's petition in Egypt. and
that in the face Of the inevitable French
and Russian resenU9ent Germany will
be useful as an actite guarantor OF our
permanent occupation"
New York, September "a dispatch
to the World from london says: Lit
tie credence is attached in well inform
ed quarters TO the reported Anglo-Ger-
man alliance. In the past fortnight
the German ambassador has had almost
daily interviews with Ma Balfour, who
is acting as foreign SECRETARY, and the
rumor mentioned is conjecture found1
ed on these visits. 1t Isl regarded 3s
highly probable that Balfiur has been
engaged in negotiating an arrange
ment for the reconstruction Of the mix
ed tribunal in Egypt, whose existence
expires by lapse of time next year.
Germany would demand some con-
sideration for siding with Englan9 IN
this matter and an arrangement is
limited at by which Delagoa bay IS to
be acquired from Portugal on tie un-
Outstanding that Germany is to obtain
certain trading facilities there. Be-
yond this there is Believed to ~ moth
ing in the air between England and
Germany at present.
In financial circles, where these re-
ports originated, tendency is shown
to support PortUgese stocks, which
have been very firm, and South Afrl-
can shares have abo improved on the
prospect of the settlement Of the long
vexed Delagoa pa, difficulty.
Berlin, SEPTEMBER 3-The National
Zeitung says: The report of an Of
fensive and defensive alliance are un-

not in a position to conclude such an
alliance, nor does there exist in au-
thoritative quarters in Germany the
slightest Inclination to completely
identify cut own foreign policy with
that of another power. There can
only be soma colonial arrangement, the
relations CT fuhe powers in other re-
spects remaining unaltered. 1t must
be particularly understood that Rus
sian interests are in nowise preJu-
diced"
rhe Colcngne Gazette says it believes
the agreement + merely an arrange
ment for an Anglo-German loan to
Portugal.
Berlin, September 3.-The officials OF
the German foreign Office assert that
the London report: Of an offensive and
defensive alliance having been con-
cluded between Great Britain and Ger
many are entirely without foundation.

fians and Purposes of the United
states Deep Waterways Commission
Most Stupendous Work of Internal
Improvement Ever Attempted.

ohleago Is to become the headquar-
tefs Tor great ocean carrying trade
vessels of the largest size are to be
loaded there for foreign ports, and car
goes will be received direct from all
parts of the world without breaking
Dulk at the seacoast. Ocean going
steamers will take on loads of grain
from Chicago elevators and convey
them to European cities without tran
shipment, and people who wish to cross
the Atlantic on pleasure or business
may sail from the Windy City instead
of from New York, Boston or Philadel-
phia. 1t will be possible for vessels
to make the trip from Liverpool to New
orleans via Chicago and St Louis by
using the great lakes, the drainage
canal and the Mississippi river To
secure this result will necessitate the
expenditure of probably $500, 100000.
This Is not the idle dream of an en-
thusiast. 1t Is the project of the United
States deep waterways commission, In
dorsed by act of congress, fathered by
ChSihcSiS Vi lHteFua llOnul reputation,
and surveys for which are now being
made. 1t Is a mammoth enterprise, one

OF dollars, the largest and most stu
pendous work of internal Improvement
ever attempted by any country in the
world, but the men Interested say 1t
will be carried through to success with
In reasonable length OF time. The
plan, in brief, Is to unite the waters
OF the great lakes with those of the
Atlantic ocean by means of canals deep
enough to float the largest ocean going
vessels. 1t sounds easy, but when the
physical obstacles to be overcome are
understood the herculean character of
the task becomes apparent.

A Sunlike Light.

DIR. Auer Won Welsbach, the distin-
guished inventor of the incandescent
gas light which bears his name, an.
nounces a new ineandeseent filament
for electric lights. which has been tried
in Germany with startling results. This
tilament is made of osmium. one of the
rarest of metals, which is not only the
heaviest of known substances, but Is
practically infusible. From this cir
cumstance it derives its value as a
lighting tlament. 1t may be subjected
to any amount of heat and it remains
unmelted. Raised to the temperature
at which platinum Is almost instantly
volatilized, it attains luminosity hith-
erto unknown, emitting Il white light
of almost sunlike power.

Rowing between them, and broken here

is rapid enough to make cultivation

miles the hills on both sides have been
terraced. Beginning at the bottom,

side of the hill To fill In behind II. and
make n smooth patch, say twenty feet
wide, just on n level with the top of the
wall That makes little field twenty

at the inner side they build another

What Is That Noise ?

The town of Thompson, Connecticut,
counted Itself fortunate In having
among Its early citizens Mr. Benjamin
Wilkinson. who did so much TO pro.
mote the prosperity OF the village. I'm.
der his auspices the waste land about
the meeting 4house was transformed Ia.
to an attractive common and training
field. He cut down the brush, dragged
off stones and dug out tree -stumps.
Mr.. Wilkinson made rule to plant
peachstone beside every rock on his
premises, and also along the roadside,
that boys, travellers and churchgoers
might have a free supply. Under his
sktllful admins tration the old tavern
stand became more popular than ever
and WAS a place of great resort for
public meetings and merrymakings. In
winter it served as "Sabbaday
house," the shiyering congregation
were glad to find warmth, and perhaps
something more stimulating, beside Its
glowing hearth.
AS native of Rhode Island, Mr.. VIII
kinson's Views of Sabbath keeping
were kDoNu 10 Dt Il sDdue less lhun
those of his neighbors, but he had
never been detected in any overt trans
gression till one particular Sunday,
when all through service the congrega
tion was disturbed by what sounded
like the creaking OF very rusty-han-
died grindstone out In the back yard.
Even Mr.. Wilkinson could not be In
dulged in such an outrage. and proper
officials waited upon him at intermis-
sion and solemnly called him TO ac-
count
THAT you should be turnin' grind
stone on the Sabbath day. Ii seems
impossible. What do you meanT' they
demanded.
Mr.. Wilkinson promptly denied the
charge.
"Why, we hear it now" retorted his
aecusers, as the long drawn creak be-
came distinctly audible.
Come along and see for yourselves"
said the landlord, with broad smile
on his face, and he led them Into his
dooryard and pointed to pair OF
