says '.The situation has suddenly
become acute The relations between

"In support of Sir Claude Mac,
Donald, the feet has been concen-
trated at Wei Hai Wei and Hankow,
and al! the warships under 5000 tons
have been mobilized in the Yang

is solely directed against China, as it
is semi officially stated that the ex-

the policy of the open door, substi-

HARVARD PROFESSOR
SPEAKS OF THE HARM
That Results to This Country
From War With Spain.

Ashfeld, Mass August 25 The
twentieth annual dinner in the aid OF
Sanderson academy was given this
afternoon with Chas Elliott Norton.
professor emeritus Of fine arts Of
Harvard university, presiding The
principal address was by Prof. Nor
ton. who devoted himself to a dis
cussion of the late war. He said in
part "And yet our hearts have been
heavy with new weight of care, and
the very brightness OF the sunshine
has but deepened by contrast the
cloud of our sorrowful thoughts
sorrowfui that our nation should have
turned its back upon its old ideals,
and, standing at the parting ways,
should have chosen that ancient path,
familiar to the old woild, worn by the
bloody feet of hapless generations,
and which has never led to anything
but ilt-the path of aggressive war,
of foreign conquest, OF alien terrific
rial aggrandizement, the path that
leads from trouble to trouble.
1.-The black and brutal visage of
war has indeed been lighted up fron
time to time during the summer by
the gallant deeds of our men in SER
vice and by good conduct and mar.
velous good fortune of our navy, and
by the general temper of humanity
displayed SO soon as the actual fight
was over by both sides. But it has
taken ON a deeper shade of gloom
from the needless suferings which
our brave soldiers have had to endure
from the lack of due provision for
their needs alike in camp, in field
and IN the hospitals 1t has been
miserable spectacle Of incompetency,
for which account must be rendered
and penalty exacted."
After a review o. the events lead
ing up to the was. Prof. Norton said:
aPeace has uominally come. The
actual conflict has ended. but less
than 100 days of war has resulted in
revolution in the United States. The
foundations on which the republic
has rested have been unsettled /; the
principles upon which the govern
ment depends having beer violated,
we have undertaken obligations
which neither our institutions nor
our national character enable as prop
erIy to discharge; We, the one great
non-miIitary power 10 the world.
have suddenly joined ahe ranks OF
those burdened with great armies
and navies, we have loaded ourselves
with an enormous additional debt
and with an enormous increase OF
annual expenditures, a permanent op'
pressive tax upon the industry OF the
people, and farther. whatever dlspo
sition may be made Of the Philip
pines, we are already, through hold
ing them and claiming the right to
dispose of them, brought into en-
tanglng relations with the nations OF
the old world, and run the risk OF
losing the inestimable boon which |

An OBJECT LESSON.

The Lister wheat corner is
likely to become a very plain
lesson 10 the bread consumers
of the cou airy in the evils of
such deals or speculations and
should create a wide and active
demand for legislation TO pro-
hibii anything OF the kind. The
mere statement that Joseph
Letter had gotten a corner on
the wheat market did not
awaken The interest ofthe mass
es, most people receiving The
news with ssoIid indifference.
But, when they fad that The
price OF -four has gone skyward
because of that same deal, then
they viii realize wbat ii means,
Mr.. Letter has bought nearly
all the wheat in the country,
and can now demand his own
price OF the miliers, who, in
turn, squeeze the price out Of
the consumers. The latter must
either pay a higher price for
their daily bread or eat a cheap
er and poorer grade of that ar
ticle. Thus Letter, the king Of
the wheat PHI, will wiring mil
lions from the people to add to
the many millions which he al
ready possesses. The share
of q transaction which must so
seriously affect the already saf-
fering poor does not iu the least
abash The greedy millionaire
He viii serenely pocket his i'll
gotten gains, regardless Of TIE
fact that thousands who have
found it hard to pay for their
bread under the previous cou-
ditions, will suffer sill greater
privations now. But, if this
lesson shall result in the pee
pie rising up in their might TO
demand legislation against
monopoly, then Mr.. Letter, de-
spite himself, will haze proven

Monday it being the last day of
grace before the 10 per cent
penalty should go into effect.
as the penalty is BOW in effect,
and will not De any greater no
matter how long payment is
delayed, there is not likely to
be any very savage contest
among taxpayers TO reach the
collectors counter for some
time to come. Much better
results from the assessment Of
the penalty would be obtained
by changing the law SO as to
make it ] per cent per month
fer overdue time. That would
prove an inducement to pay as
soon as possible to stop the
