THE SUMMER GIRL.

\ Ill each returning June the civilized world w finds its attention distracted from business by the appearance along the streets of that vision of radiant lovelness known as the girl It is in vain that. sober common sense insists the beauty is but the old winter girl in new drapery The senses, intoxicated with the delight of her joyous presence will not have it The charming creature in the shirt waist has nothing suggestive of old girls about her. She is a creation. A miracle so startling her novelty that we might almost call her fresh.
 In bygone Junes the summer girl has shown her self but feetngly in the city, spreading her dainty wings here only to fly away to the seashore, the mountain heights other idylc spots far from the of trade. She has revealed herself the busy streets only to let see her beautiful clothes so that they might be begued to follow her to places where there IS work, any toi but only picnics by day and dances by night and fair frtatons that end with at one place at one hour only to begin again at another hour in another place with another fellow.
 In this June however the summer girl is a changed creature. As lovely as are the gar ments of her and winning is her smile, but her feet not hasenng from the city this year. and it that her thoughts of hirtations She has become soldier of the Red Cross. Her heart is full of patriotism. Her hands are full of work She is bright and inspiring the starry banner itself and the feeling she excites i5 one of blessing well as of admiration
 All America honors the summer girl California looks upon her with especial pride and Nowhere is the summer girl more beautiful in any year. and nowhere she doing better work this June The ornament of our streets, the charm of our lives the embodied spirit of patriotism and loyalty, she is loyelier in her Red Cross work than ever at mid day picnic or midnight dance. God bless her.

Question has been raised as to whether the possession of colonies by the United States would be "constitu- tional." It will be remembered that a similar question is raised in relation to, everything else. 1 have not the hap piness to be lawyer. As a citizen respecting the constitution and realiz- ing the circumstances under which it came into being, I am in favor of amending it so as to fit conditions which did not at that time exist. The constitution I take to be the formu- lated will of the people. An individual can change his mind and as great a privilege should inhere to the collec- tive minds of a commonwealth. It is not clear that our forbears knew of a time when we might want to take and keep the Philippines. Had they done so, they might have made provision for it. I think living men can make bet
 ter laws for the guidance of living men than laws never so wise and benign
 made by men who have long been dust If to take the islands seems best. I would be in favor of taking them. and changing the constitution to fit the case. 1t seems to me an absurd prop- osition that the will of the people once put on record becomes so unchangea- ble that it may be used to defeat the will of the people driven to new chan

AN OPEN RUPTURE
Of Peace Negotiations |:
Predicted for Friday.
Russia and Another Power About to
Warn the United States
that Philippine Annexation Must Be Recon-
panied by Definite underst ndinq.

London, Nov. 3.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Morning Post says. TT
is expected that rupture of the peace
negotiations between the United States
and Spain will be officially announced
on Friday.
The feeling here is that the atti-
tude of the Spaniards is irrational in
view of the financial proposals of the
United States and that they may ulti-
mately regret having failed to agree
quickly with their adversary
The Berlin correspondent of the
Standard says: Russia and another
power are credited with the intention
of intimating to Washington that the
annexation of the Philippines must be
preceded by a common agreement on
future action in certain circumstances.
The German papers express their
feelings very frankly. The Hamburg
ische Corresponding says: 1.-The
United States are conducting the peace
negotiations as they conducted the
war. The mask of humanity is being
gradually dropped revealing the bru-
tai hand of strength. When the proto-
col was signed, not foot of Philippine
Mckinley demands the complete sur
render only because victory In the
Forthcoming elections depends upon it.
The American demand, however, is less
a blow to Spain than to the European
Powers which seem DESTROYS of select
ing naval stations in the Philippine
The Boersen Courier admits that
the Powers have no cause for interfer-
ing, but urges them to watch Ameri-
can expansion with jealous eyes"
1.-The National Zeitung says: IF
Spain can obtain compensation suffi-
cient to cover the Philippine and Gu
ban debts she would be better off with
out the islands. Looking to the COM
mercial and strategical value of the
Philippines we should not be surprised
at resistance on the part of some of the
Powers. Moreover, it is evident that
the inhabitants will not calmly ac-
quiesce in American annexation"
THE Frankfurter Zeitung thinks
that after the elections the American
commissioners are likely to make some
concessions since the chief question is
rather how to conquer the Philippines
from the inhabitants than how to over
come Spain'S resistance.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says: The Austrian
cabinet considers an English protector
ate of the Philippines the only proper
solution of the question"

THEY PLEAD GUILTY.

Long Fight Expected, But All the
Defendants Plead Guilty.
All October Records Broken for Game Ship

Portland, Me-, Nov. 2-The long
pending Fairfield Floral Cos. case which
has been more or less in the air, and a
good deal of the time in the time in the
courts, since last April, came to rather
an abrupt termination in the United
States court, before Judge Webb, this
morning.
\ 1t will be remembered that the grand
Jury, in October, brought in three in
dlctments agains George F. Terry of
Waterville, and three against Arthur
II. Terry of Fairfield, and Frank J.
Goodrich of Waterville, conformity
This morning, all three of the accus-
ed parties plead guilty to the indict-
ments. Sentence was suspended until
the April term, and they were ordered
TO recognize in the sum of $500 each,
surety in each case being furnished.
1t was expected that this particular
case, in view of the complications that
it involved, the legal talent that was
arrayed on both sides and the bewil-
dering array of witnesses, had just be-
gun to drag it's slow length along, and
that a-fierce battle of a week or more
would be fought. The work of paying
off the witnesses was one of the largest
proceedings of the day.
The offence to which the accused
plead guilty was the fraudulent use of
the United States mails in conducting
the floral business.

Referring to the increasing cordiality
between the United States and Grerat
Britain, Mr.. Bryce said: when last
in the United States, was struck with
the change in public sentiment. The
spontaneous outburst of feeling in Great
Britain when the European powers
wished to intervene against the United
States during the recent war with
Spain, made the Americans understand
how close we felt the tie between them
and ourselves. They have shown that
they appreciate and reciprocate our
sentiment
i would never advocate a formal al
lance. At all events the obstacles at
present are serious; but all the condi-
tions exist for solid and durable
friendship between America and Great
Britain. They have no adverse inter-
ests anywhere id the world and they
have common aims in sundry regions.
Everywhere each can render a great
service to the other and they can I'M
derstand one another better than either
can understand any foreign country.
Nature and history meant them to
be friends; and the closer and deeper
that friendship is, the better it will be
for the great national welfare of both"

MakEx 20 SPEECHES.
Col. Roosevelt Puts In Great Days Work o.
Long island.

New York, Nov. 2.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, Republican candidate for
Governor. today, made tour of Long
Island. He delivered 20 speeches at
different places, beginning at Valley
Stream and closing with two big meet
ing, tonight, one at Flushing and the
other at Long Island City. At Flush
ing the hall was damned to the doors
and the colonel received an ovation.
He said in part:
More and more during the last fort
night we have been brought face to
face with our real, not out nominal
opponent. Burly Mr.. Crocker has
shouldered nice Mr. Van Wyck aside
and appears as the leader in name, as
he already is in fact. Mr.. Van Wyck
is allowed to continue to talk about
the canal, concerning which he can say
not one word of value, can make not
one promise beyond what I have said
and made. He dares not frankly dis
cuss one single issue which is an issue.
Our opponents decline to speak of free
silver because they say it is not al.
issue, though every man in the state
knows that it is an issue.
IF Mr.. Van Wyck only wishes to
discuss State issues, why does he not
discuss the most important of all is
sues, the independence and uprightness
of the judiciary? Why does he not say
whether or not he approves of Mr..
Cookers conduct in turning down
Judge Daily, Mr.. Van Wyck's colleague
on the bench, because Judge Daily was
fearless and upright, and would not
bow the knee to Baal? Does he approve
of refusing to advance Judges to high
office because they decline to 'recog-
nize their obligations to Tammany
Hall?'
Every issue he raises from canals to
the excise / fully meet. Why doesn't
he meet such vital issues as those of
honest money and an upright judi
ciary? But Mr.. Van Wyck is not the
real candidate. My real opponent is
Mr. Croker and unlike Mr.. Van Wyck,
he is willing to raise all kinds Of is
sues and he is himself an issue. He
does not speak of honest finance, and
nobody would pay any heed to him If
he did, for he knows nothing about 1t.
