The kennebec Maine Ice cos. houses in
'Joppa. will it is stated. be torn down
carly in the spring-perhaps' in March
The ice house was built about u years
ago. by the late Governor Bodwell. About
5000 tons of as good ice as was ever taken
from the kennebec was placed in the
house. three years ago, and as none has
since been shipped there has undoubtedly
been nearly 5000 tons shrnkage. The
house has reverted to the Hallowell Gran

a large building which will be erected by

OUR REGULARS.

When General Skaters army lands in
Cuba 1t will embrace the largest force of
United States regulars ever brought togeth-
er for active service. During the civil war
the regular army. smaller then than now,
was separated in different commands, and
since then it has been widely scattered on
the frontier and at various posts throughout
the country. Single regiments or small
forces have, from time to time. done gallant
service in Indian warfare. but no consider
able BODY Of them have acted together. The
expedition to Cuba will furnish the best test
we have ever had of the effectiveness of the
army as whole. There is every reason to
believe the test will be entirely satisfactory
and that the army will fully justify the pop

TRADE WITH THE PHILIPPINES.

Under date of Feb. %, 1898, Consul Will
liams, at Manila, sent the State Department
report concerning our trade with the
Philippine islands which will surprise most
people. Our trade with the islands at the
present time is more than million dollars
month. The United States consul at
Manila does more consular business than
the other twenty-one consuates combined.
The chief articles of export are hemp and
sugar. The United States takes by far the
larger part of the hemp raised in the Philip
pine islands. At the same time we took 55
per cent. of the sugar produced in that
country During the last ten years the ISL
anders paid into the treasury of Spain or to
its agents to pocket S5,172,9S5 for the
privilege of shipping hemp and sugar to the
United States When it is understood that
the export of hemp of those islands during
the past ten years was 1,5S2, 1904 tons and that
S75,15O tons came to this county one may
SEQ why the price Of binding Irvine has been
affected by the disturbance with Spain.
The trade of the United States with those
islands is steadily growing in spite of the
misrule Of Spain. In fact, Spain clings to
the islands solely for the purpose of plumber

taking none of their products except in
money as taxes, and selling them but
small part of the merchandise they pur-
chase. The commercial possibilities of the
islapds are indicated by the reports of the
British Foreign Office which shows their
imports in 1897 to have been $1O,63125 and
their exports $20,175,OOO For the reason that
the Spaniards have robbed the islanders,
they have not been able to purchase as free

the same possibility with regard to ordinary

Subsequently, when the drains of the build-

developed in all parts of the hospital, and
the air seemed to be the only way of ac-

"And so the curtain drops upon the chief
actors of this drama of tomorrow, whilst
the stage is cleared for the superb specta-
Gle of a world free from bloodshed and ra-
pine and famine. This is the closing sem
tence of THE Final War;" by Louis Tracy.
an English journalist. The book seems to
have been inspired by the suggestion of
Britsh-American alliance, or, at least, 1t is
based on that idea, and works it out in an
odd and not unimpressive way. What might
be termed the machinery of the story is a
universal war. in which the English
speaking peoples, Great Britain and her
colonies and the United States, are united
against the European powers, and are VIC
torious, debating finally the terms of uni
versai and permanent peace, which are
willingly accepted by the other nations. SO
extravagant an idea necessarily involves
many impossible features and incidents, yet
the author handles it so skillfully that the
story is not only interesting, but has an air
of reality that is quite impressive. 1t would
be difficult to conceive of a more amusing
politico-military extravaganza, and yet the
motive of the book is so apparent and its
conclusion SO serious as to give 1T sort or
dignity. A love story incidentally runs
through the book, adding interest to the
story which is really very readable 1t Is

BOOKS OF THE TIME.
paul kruger.

Events in recent years which brought
Paul Kruger, President of the South Afri-
can Republic, into public notice also showed
him to be man of strong character and
distinct individuality. Although his field of
action has been somewhat remote from the
view of the civilized world, it is none the
less true that he has helped to shape the
course of history and lay she foundations
of what may prove to be future great
empire in Africa. These facts justify the
account of his life character and career
given under the title of Paul Kruger and
His Times" by F. Reginald Statham. The
biographical part of the work shows that
President Kruger is a direct descendant of
German ancestors, who emigrated 10 South
Africa early in the eighteenth century, and
that he was born there Oct. 10. 1925. In his
personal characteristics he is essentially
German, unless his strong religious con-
victions furnish an exception. Every one
who knows Pretoria" says the biographer,
knows the church opposite the presidency,
wherein, upon almost every Sunday, Paul
Kruger may be found employing both elo-
quence and earnestness in throwing the
light of his personal experiences on the les
sons of the only book which he cares 10

viction is q key to the character and career

KENTUCKY COAL-MINE DEAL.
English Syndicate with Millions Buys
Them in n Bunch.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 19.-All the coal
mines in the Jellico district will soon be
transferred to an English syndicate. A.
meeting between those interested in the
property and representatives of British cap
ital, in Knoxville, Tenn, Friday, the deal
was practically consummated and all that
remains now to be done is to receive the
money and transfer the deeds.
Messrs E. T. Halsey Hydel Davis and
Powhatan Woodbridge, who represented the
Louisville interests at the meeting, returned
to-day and are we'll satisfied with the pros
poets. The English syndicate secured an
option of ninety days on all the mines, all
papers being signed by them to that end,
while the owners are instructed that all
deeds be executed preparatory to the trans
fer as soon as the money is paid, which is
TO be done within the specified ninety days.
This will close one of the largest coal
deals ever conSummated in this country, and
will bring millions of dollars into Louisville
and other parts of Kentucky. The deal was
negotiated by Messrs. McCrosky, Morton
and Jerome who represent the millions of
English capital, and who will return to
London, where the necessary arrangements
will be made to take charge of the mining
property The total acreage of the Jellico
coal district is about $4,000. The mines all
lie in Whitley county, Kentucky, and
Campbell county, Tennessee. They cover
about 121 square miles, with the exception
of a few acres owned by Williamsburg pep
pie,
