COLONEL HAY ON ALLIANCE.
Favors Cordial Relations but Not
Formal Treaty With England.

FavOrs Cordial Relations but Not
Formal Treaty With England.
Before leaving England ambassador
John Hay took occasion to say to friends
that he is absolutely opposed to any
formal alliance between the United
States and Great Britain. Mr.. Hay is
deeply impressed with the Importance
Of cultivating close and friendly rela-
tions with Great Britain, but he has
made no secret of his unalterable oppo-
sition to anything in the nature Of an
actual Anglo-American alliance.
This will be great disappointment
to the British foreign Office, which en-
tertained strong hopes that as secretary
Of state he would be favorable to a
specific arrangement between the United
States and Great Britain in treating the
Chinese question. Mr.. Hay, however,
will oppose it. He recognizes that the
interests of the two countries regarding
China are identical, but he believes
they should act separately.
AS Sagasta intends to press claim
for compensation for public buildings
and other government chattels in Porto
Rico, Cuba and the Philippines it is in
teresting to know that Mr.. Hay consid-
ers such claims to be absurd, as all ter
ritory surrendered by Spain includes
government property. He is also ap-
parently in favor of retaining all the
Philippine islands. His views will nat
urally influence the commissioners sent
to Paris.-NeW York Journal.

Kitehener's Victory VIII Open Way
Also For American Commerce.
The recent victory of Sir Herbert
Kitchener in the Sudan means some
thing more than mere triumph for
British arms. It has wider and deeper
significance than is conveyed by the
statement that the murder Of General
Gordon has been avenged. England's
greatest desert fighter did not plan one
Of the most successful military expedi-
tions in history merely to avenge the
death Of Gordon. The capture Of Om-
durman and Khartum means the ulti-
mate completion of an unbroken chain
Of British possessions from Cape Colony
to the Mediterranean. The captured
cities are to be way stations in one of
the richest valleys in the world, which,
under British control, will be thrown
open to the commerce of all nations.
The American producers and manu-
facturers will have equal opportunities
with the people Of all nations in the
development of the Nile valley. 1t is
true that the British poliF is to follow
the flag with British commerce, but it
is also their policy to open the doors to
all nations. This region is destined to
be another India, with a rich and con-
stantly growing market for all the
products of civilization. In this land Of
matchless fertility and undeveloped re
sources the American producer is pre-
sented with opportunities equal to those
that are offered by the orient.-Chicago

ROoseve1t,s Attention to His Men.


When the soldiers lay in their trenches
exhausted almost unto death with two
days Of fighting and without food,
Roosevelt did not wait for food to be
brought. He went out himself and for
aged for food for his men. He found
bag Of dried apples at the Red Gross
headquarters. He carried this bag across
the burning fields on his own shoulders
and distributed the food with his own
hands to the soldiers in the trenches.
An officer declared that such an in

do the discipline of the army any good.

 Existing national banks which do not avail themselves of the option of issu- ing notes upon commercial assets are not required to contribute to the bank not guaranty fund, and are not sub jected to any tax upon their circulation and are liable in any manner for the notes of other banks.
 New national banks are required to invest 20 per cent of their capital in reserve notes issued in exchange for legal tender notes, if such notes are available, and banks whose charters expire after the expiration of three years from the passage of the act are required to comply with the same pro- vision.
 All banks are required to accept the new form of notes, which does not spe- officially state that the notes are se- cured by United tates bonds.
 National banks are required to pay a tax of one-tenth of one per cent. semi annually upon their capital, surplus and undivided profits.
 National banks are permitted to es- tablish branches under regulations by the secretary of the treasury.
