Star says that the letter was written "one

Senator Davis Argues for a Coalition
Between England, America
and JauQu.

LONDON. Dec. 13.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail summarizes this
morning an interview he had with United
States Senator Cushman X. Davis, of the
peace commission, who advocates triple
alliance between the United States, Great
Britain and Japan. The correspondent
says:
Mr.. Davis declared that American and
British interests in the far East run quite
parallel, and that. therefore. the two pow
ers should act jointly. I am not appealing
TO sentiment, he said. though blood is
thicker than water and this argument
should not be ignored. My thesis in IA
vor of cooperation is borne out by the
coolest logic. l favor a treaty of alliance
including the United States, Great Britain
and Japan fer the protection of all their
interests north of the equator. The rest
of the world would have a wholesome fear,
synonymous with respect for u.s.
lie proceeded to argue that Russia,
Germany and France had secured the great
bulk of the commercial benefits in China
to the exclusion of both the United States
and England. He suggested that such a
dreibund could have nothing to fear from
any coalition of other nations and that,
therefore, it would tend to preserve the

has some novel features. 1t consolidates
the adjutant generals department and the

the signal corps; transferring the duties
Of that corps to the engineer corps. and the
airy strength of the Miles bill, the artil-

the new features is a requirement that all
officers Of the general staff shall perform
tour Of duty before each promotion,
which would give them line duty at least
every ten years. This Is the German

and Sevilla Gains died March 81,
1898. She was taken sick on
Monday night, the closing week
of a five months school, from
which she had neither been abb

the days and was looking forward
to Friday the day of the closing
exercises with happy anticipa-
tons when her school mates and
friends would be united for a day
of Joy, but an all-wise Providence
had otherwise ordained and on
that day her school mates and
friends laid the little body in it's
narrow bed beneath the sod

Her sun went down in the morning
while all was fair and bright, but
twas not an eclipse of darkness
that hid her from our sight.
For the valley of death was brighter
Than the hills Of life she trod
And the peace that fell on her spirit
Was the calm deep peace of God.

She counted all things loss
