We learn that during the quarter ended

these islands to the United States and
Great Britain 2l6.S9S bales Of hemp $3.50
pounds per bale), of which 1892 bales
went to the United States and only
7S,l06 bales to Great Britain. During

bales; to Australia. 2,192 bales; to
China, 2S bales: to Japan, 2,62S bales.
and to the United States. .S9G bales

to Great Britain there was a decrease
of 22,34S bales. Thus, of increased
shipments from the Philippines, those
to the United States were 544 per cent
greater than to all other countries
combined. OF the total exports of
hemp from the Philippines for the ten
years ended 1897, amounting to $685.

WAR MEASURES IN THE HOUSE.
Vote of Thanks TO BE rendered Ad-
miTnI Dewey.

Washington, May 9.-The greater
part of today in the house was con-
suned by war measures. The recon-
merdation of the president that vote
Of thanks be rendered Commodore
Dewey and his associate officers and
men was followed quickly with an
unanimous vote and with equal concert
the house passed the bill creating an
additional rear admiralship for the hero
of Manila. The bill providing for the
organization of volunteer engineer
brigade and enlistment of 10000 volun-
teer troops immune to tropical dis
eases was passed after two hours of
debate. The principal ground of oppo-
sition presented was found in the fea-
lures giving to the president the ap-
pointment of all officers.
The senate bill authorizing the army
to distribute food among the suffering
Cubans and to arm the Cuban people
was passed.

not to say hated, by other nations. Dem
ocratiC, imperial and manarchic in form,
they are much alike in representative in
stitutions ana in business ideas. Too
widely separated TO clash in their respec-
tive spheres, yet industrial beyond all
precedent they perceive that their true
policy is one OF peace and Of honorable
commerce with all nations. They are
absolutely opposed to the policy Of coll
onial exclusion. Tho only use of an alli-
ance In the Anglo world
is FOR defense against aggression. Popu-
lar feeling in these countries will take
care of that as the case now stands. No
one doubts that IT England were likely to
be overwhelmed by any combination OF
her enemies America would have TO be
beaten before the task could be accom-
plished. and Japan, too And the same
thing is true in each of the other cases.
o
Bonds of mutual interest and of like
lofty political ideals are stronger and
more enduring than any other. They
need no attempted cementing by paper
| propositions. Let us cultivate frank
| understanding with all nations of like
| mind with our own and the alliances
| will take care of themselves without
causing fears that will force alliances
among still ether nations and ultimate
| ly divide the world into two great camps
or hostile peoples. Tho magnificent
| American way is to maintain the loftiest
| ideals OF national life and to welcome
| into friendship and support all other ma
| tions working under the same inspiration.
We are in no danger of forgetting that
blood is thicker than water and we will
not stand long on a punctilio when any
member of the Anglo-Saxon family is
| assailed.
There Is an alliance of blood and speech
| that scorns all parchment agreements.
| There is "a thrilling consciousness of a
world controlling destiny which has or
ganized itself far beyond the power of Of
| ficialsm to affect it. The Anglo-SaXon
world has moved into an alliance under
the inspiration of a power mlghtier than
| that of all its statesmen combined.

AND DEWEY CUT THE CABLE

The seas are wide and also deep.
With Snaniards at the bottom.
The story of the fights would keep
Secure with those who fought 'em.
To hold the goal that he had won
The commodore was able.
"I'll tell 'em when the job is done!"
And Dewey cut the cable.
II love a quiet little fight,
i love the peace of battle,
But I'll be damned if l can quite
Put up with how-all cattle.
Too much advice is worse than none,
And Washington is Babel;
I'll play this game as I've begun
And Dewey cut the cable.
Now all ye gallant Yankee tars,
And fighters any wise, sirs.
If you would win your golden stars,
Beware Of all advisers,
Just lay your plans, and fire your gun,
As well as you are able,
And, if you'd do what you've begun
Like Dewey, cut your cable!

The Fate of the Spanish Monarchy

The dethronement Of the boy king,

expected at Madrid The overthrow Of
the reigning dynasty is at all events
inevitable. Spain is in an irresponsible
paroXysm of national frenzy which
may culminate in a sanguinary revo-
luton. The people believe they We're
betrayed. They were certainly not in
a position to estimate the consequence
which has followed a conflict with the
United States. Nor are they fully cog
infant of it yet, Finding themselves
degraded in their own estimation and
Inundated in the eyes of the world,
they attribute their misfortunes to in

giversation, and official malfeasance.

From the Elmira Advertiser.

From the Elmira Advertiser.
CD HE IDEA of an Anglo-Saxon alli-
ance stirs the heart and fires the
imagination. 1t would include
within its range about one-third
Of the earths surface and more
than half its foreign trade, 1t would
band together about one-third of the
population of the earth and form COM
bnation by land and sea more imposing
in power and proportions than ever be-
fore entered into the mind of man. 1t
would also be the union of industrial ma
tiOns whose interests are best promoted
by peace on earth while they have the
physical power to command that condi-
tion. Such an alliance, furthermore
would mean much beside the maintenance
of peace. The nations composing it
would be peoples devoted to the idea of
liberty under law, of justice to the in
dividual and freedom in the highest de-
gree consistent with order in the state.
In trade its idea would be expressed by
the phrase "the open port" as opposed
to the idea of exclusion which marks the
policy of all nations outside of the Eng
disappearing world,
Vast as this conception is, it is still
capable of expansion. Japan is the great
| Industrial and military nation of the far
east. Her interests lie in the same di-
rcction as the Anglo Saxon, that is, in
the open port with competition on equal
terms with other nations. Add Japan to
the alliance as a party to it ana the
scheme is absolutely dazzling in it's mag
niccuCe. The peace Of the world could
not be long disturbed without the con-
sent Of the allied powers. 1t could be
| scarcely broken at all. Unjust and cruel
methods of government might be eX-
perted to pass away under the pressure
/ of dislntorcsted authority and civiliza-
| tion to advance by leaps and bounds.
o.
Yet it does not seem advisable for
America to make such an alliance as is
| referred to, nor make any other An al
/ lianCo cannot be easily limited in its
scope. 1t will exceed the purpose for
which it is formed and involve its partici-
pants i'm con plications which do not
concern all its members A definite al
lance is mere apt TO be a source of
weakness than of strength from the irri-
/ tatiOns caused by the occasionally clash
ing policies Of its members. There is a
| better way Of accomplishing common
| ends than by making any agreements,
| and that is by encouraging ana cherish
ing common ideals, As long as the An
glO-SaNOn nations stand for the same
principles they viii be in accord. Mutual
interests may awaken mutual admiration,
respect and even affection, If such feel
| ings are not spontaneous they can never
be developed by compact ana If they are
| involuntary they will be all the stronger
and more effectual because not stimu-
lated by agreement not felt as an obliga-
ton

WORLDS WHEAT CROP.
Report of the Wheat Crop of the World
by U. 5. StatIstican Hyde for this
Month, is as Follows:

+ The Russian wheat crop is now put by
the minister of agriculture at All 100000
Winchester bushels, while the Hungar-
ian agricultural ministry estimates the
crop of Hungaria at 1872, PIT 200 bushels.
OF sixty sounds. The German crop is
estimated at lis, 900 900 CO. pound BUSH
els; the Italian at 133, ,37l 900 Winches-
ter bUsnels; and the latest estimate of
the Spanish wheat crop is a little less
than e5 100000 Winchester bushels.
The entire crop of the United Kingdom
as placed at II ,9O0, 900 Winchester bush
els. The official estimate for Roumania
makes its wheat crop 59,456,904 Win
chester bushels. AS the area of the
more eastern provinces was much larger
than in recent years, it seems that the
total for Canada will reach the highest
of last months estimates, 63, ,000,0 I'm
perIal bushels.
Oa the whole the changes from a
month ago increase the total estimate
of the worlds wheat crop, but the con-
ditions affecting the crops of the south
ern hemisphere are scarcely so favorab BILE
as they were commonly supposed to be
~hen the estimates used in the table
published month ago were made. Au-
etralia has suffered severely from drouth ,
but this is now broken, good rains hav-
ing fallen throughout Victoria, South
Australia and New South Wales. If the
Australasian crop SHOULD fall short OF

5t may IN any case equal, or perhaps ex-
eeed, the very moderate estimates of the
