WILL KEEP THEM ALL.
Our Government Informs Spain We
 wiII Hold the phfIfppfn~m


 The American peace commission on Monday made formal presentment to the representatives of Spain. ex- pressing in positive terms the determi- nation of the government of the United States to possess certain ter ritory and parcels of land bounded by and lying within such parallels of latitude and longitude as marked the limits of the Philippine archipelago. The United States do not propose assuming the Philippine debt of $40, 900 900. but they are willing to be responsible to Spain for a sum of money equal to the actual expenditures by Spain in the Philippines for the advantage of the ls- lands and for the good of their people, for permanent betterments and for im- provements, both physical and mental.
 The language Of the presentment specifies that the United States will rec imburse Spain to the extent of her 'pa- pelago. This phrase pacific expendi- lures" Is employed to differentiate the expenditures by Spain in combating in- surrections In the Philippines. The one is felt by the American commissioners to be fair burden upon the acquiring power, while the other and latter class of expenditure is held to have been logically assumed by Spain as the in- evitable hazard to a nation resorting to arms to enforce order in its own terri tory
 The Spanish commissioners were giv- en until Friday, Nov. {. to reply to this demand

 President Mckinley has issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation:
 The approaching November brings to mind the custom of our ancestors hal lowed by time and rooted in our most sa- cred traditions. of giving thanks to AL mighty God for all the blessings he has vouchsafed to us during the past year.
 Few years In our history have affored such cause for thanksgiving. We have been blessed by abundant harvests. our trade and commerce have been wonder fully increased our public credit has been improved nd strengthened. all sections Of our common country have been brought together and knitted into closer bonds of national purpose and unity.
 The skies have been for a time darkened by the cloud of war. but as we were com pelled to take up the sword in the cause of humanity. we are permitted to rejoice that the conflict has been of brief dura- tion and the losses we have had to mourn. though grlevous and important have been so few considering the great results accomplished, as to inspire us with gratitude and praise to the Lord of Hosts We may laud and magnify his holy name that the cessation of hostilities came so soon as to spare both sides the countless sorrows and disasters that attend pro- tracted war.
 do therefore invite all my fellow citi- zens as we'll those at home those who may be at sea or sojourning in foreign lands. to set apart and observe Thursday the 24th day of November, day of na- tional thanksgiving, to come together in their several places of worship for a serv- ice of praise and thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings of the year. for the mildness of the seasons and the fruitful ness of the soil for the continued pros- perity of the people. for the devotion and valor of our countrymen. for the glory of our victory and the hope of a righteous peace and to pray that the divine guid- ance which has brought us heretofore to safety and honor may be graciously con- tinued in the years to come,

smoLipuI In New Guinea.

Smoking is common all through the possession, the natives using tho wild tobacco leaf, but preferably the manu- factured trade" article when procur- able. The pipe, or baubau, is very different instrument from that in use among white people and is far more economical. It is usually piece of bam' boo, from one foot to two feet long and over an inch in diameter, one end being partially open, the other closed by be- ing cut of close to the joint. Near the closed end is n small hole, like the aper- ture of q flnte. Into this the native places his tobacco, which is rolled up in the leaf of particular treo-or in paper if proourable-lights it and draws at the open end of the pipe until it is filled with smoke He takes a few whiffs, and then the pipe is passed round to all who desire it, the smoker in most cases swallowing the smoke. In this way Q little tobacco goes long way.-Queonslande..

Secretary Hays Reply to a Protest
 From Spain.
 Washington. Nov. 2.-Spain's ?. protest against the dispatch of the battleship squadron to Manila has been of no avail. Secretary Hay has written a re- ply to the communication from the Spanish minister for foreign affairs. de- livered by M. Thiebaut. There is every reason to believe it will be highly un- satisfactory to the Spanish govern ment.
 Secretary Hay has informed the Spanish authorities that the Oregon and Iowa are now in Brazilian waters and that their destination after leaving Rio Janeiro will be the Sandwich Is- lands. The secretary does not enter into any discussion of the charge made by the Spanish minister that the protocol of Aug 12 has been violated, but simply states the facts in connection with the voyage of the battleships, and the mat ter rests there.
 The orders given to Captain A. s. Barker only contemplates a cruise to Honolulu. Unofficially, however. 1t is admitted that the ships will proceed to Manila and that instructions to that effect will await them at Honolulu. Secretary Hay could with perfect pro- priety therefore say, as he did, that the orders given to the vessels required them to go to the Sandwich Islands.

Easy for Anyone.

We do not believe 1t necessary to be chemist in order that the good qualities of vinol may be recognized. Anyone can ascertain how de- licious Vinol really tastes. A very few days will convince the most skeptical how much better its action is than that of cod liver oil, and how much more quickly 1t does good.
 Following is an extract from letter written by MT. Charles N Swift well known chemist of Brockton, in which he attributes much of Vinol's success to the above reasons.
 '1 have made careful study of Vfnol and find it to be in every particular as you repre- sent it. It is most delicious to the taste, and very effective In its action. To this 1t owes in large measure it's usefulness in creating healthy appetite"
 It is fact that the public have learned to recognize the benefit of taking less medicine and in 8 concentrated form. It is also a fact that the public appreciate being able to take such @ medicine in a form that IS delicious to the taste and will not upset the stomach. This is the reason that Vinol will entirely su- persede cod liver oil in any form we have hitherto known 1t. Yours very truly,
 w. Fl. CAMP,
 Special Vinol representative.

bishop FoMler,s Lecture.

Bishop Fowler sustained well his
reputation as a great orator in his
magnificent lecture ON Abraham
Lincoln, at the Methodist Episcopal
church on last Saturday night The
Bishop has a commanding presence,
graceful manner and a most pleas
ing voice. These made two hour
speech from him interesting and en-
tertaining to the end. Besides he
handled his subject with IA masters
skill
He presented picture of the sit
uation at the beginning of Lincoln's
administration to show what great
difficulties he had to contend with
as president Then he presented
the character of the hartyred presi-
dent in a most eloquent eulogium
He had, the speaker said, a phys
zeal construction of iron that made
it possible for him to stand the
strain Of long hours Of continual la
Dor on matters OF state; he had that
rare common sense SO very uncom-
mon; he had tact SO useful that he
could manage when others would
have failed; sincerity SO deep that
no one could charge him with duplic-
ity: devotion to the Union so great
that he would suffer even personal
Insult in silence, if he could thus do
good to the Union; an insight of
such penetration that he could
pierce to the very heart of matter
at once: power and felicity Of
statement so wonderful that his
words carried conviction at once;
such skill and diplomacy that even
the veteran Seward acknowledged
him master; an honesty so un-
impeaehable that no one ever ques
toned it; reverence for God so
humble that he acknowledged him
self always guided by him; and such
confidence in the overruling provi-
dence Of God that he spent many
hours on his knees in prayer.
He was like one of the old proph-
cts; a man who felt that he was
sent into the world to do a great
work and who gave himself heart
and soul to the accomplishment of
the great task.
For two long hours the large au-
dience hung upon the words of the
speaker as if no syllable should be
allowed to escape them. 1t is long

subject has exhausted every possible
objection and argument and the
prospects are that the play will have
to abandoned. This is a great pity
as the club was doing very well and
the production of the play would not
have hurt the owner at all. They
only wanted to give it for one time
and then not for the money that was
in it but for the training the perform
ers would get out of the matter.
What the club will do is problemat
ical. We are very sorry that they
have encountered this obstacle.
