MEANING OF SALISBURY'S SPEECH
HINT TO THE POWERS THAT ENGLAND
SYMPATHIZES WITH THE
UNITED STATES

London, June 30-Though on casual reading
the Marquis of Saisburys speech at the United
Club last night seems tC have been an attempt
to carry water on both shoulders. the diplo-
matte body here construes It as a pronounce
ment Of 6 at Brtain's partially
There is NJ douot that the Premier intended
his remarks as 4 hint to the Powers that Great
Britain is in sympathy with the United States.
and the intmation to that effect was called forth
by Germanys alleged attitude in the question Of
the Philippine Islands.
The declaration that the United States is ami
mated in the present war by elevated phi
lanthropy' is the passage upon which stress is
laid, and many person. find a connection bc-
tween the Premier's speech and the recent visit
Of Colonel John Hay. the United States Amhas-
sador who again conferred with the Marquis of
Salisbury yesterday. In the course Of another
visit to-day Colonel Hay officially informed the
Marquis Of Salisbury cf the blockade of the
southern coast Of Cuba
II is known that the Spanish Ambassador. Count
RaScon. telegraphed the Marquis Of Saiisbury's
speech 10 Madrid. though il could not have been
a surprise to him. as he recently informed col
league that he had unquestiondbe information
10 the effect that there was an "ironcad ailI-
ance" between Great Britain and the United
States before the war was begun

MICHIGAN ROAD LAW.
Counties Have Full Power to Vote Bono
For HiEhWays.

Counties Have Full Power to Vote Bonds
For Highway.
The county road system in Michigan
can be adopted by a majority vote in
any county. Five road commissioners
are elected. none Of whom can in any
way be interested in any contract that
may be entered into by the board. They
have full power to lay out county roads;
to change the width, direction or loca'
ton Of existing ones; purchase property
unite with adjacent counties in laying
ont and maintaining roads and to adopt
any road as q county road, except that
in incorporated villages the consent Of
the village must be obtained.
They can grade, drain gravel, maoad'
amize or improve in any way according
to their Judgment; construct and main.
tain culverts and bridges, but can con-
tract no indebtedness in excess Of the
amount at their. disposal in the hands
Of the county treasurer. A county may
by vote bond itself for road purposes
and is liable for damages growing out
of their had condition. The system was
adopted by Chippewa county in 1894,
bonds for 100000 issued, and in the
two years following nearly 100 miles
Of road were improved and built to the
satisfaction Of the people.
