The DAILY LEADERS special dispatch
yesterday stating hat the negotiations
OF the peace commission at Paris had
been broken off OF. the tender OF 800
OO0,ON 10y the Americana for a clear bill
OF sale OF thei Philippine Islands. This
will put a son ewhat new phase or rela.
tionship possibly OF the United States to
those lsland3r Enough Il Wal will prob.
ably have to'pe resumed to take forcible
possession Of the islands and they will
thus become ours by conquest rather
than purchase which was aimed ut in
our peace negotiations. 1t ls true We
took forclble possession OF Il part OF the
Island Of Luzon in the taking OF Cavlte
and Manila by Dewey and the American
troops, but it Was done only as an ext
gency OF war in connection with our
embrogllo with Spain IN the West In.
dies. and the right OF conquest Of tie
whole OF the Philippine Islands was not
claimed by the terms OF the protocol.
1t is this question Of sovereignty ovel
the whole OF the islands that has been
in dispute at Paris and which the Amer.
leans sought to acquire peaceably by
purchase. 1t will now probably he ne.
cessary to renew the contest and acquire
sovereignty over the islands by q quasi
conquest il it does not result 10 finally
forcing a reluctant sale from Spain.
But here begins the questionable policy
OF the United States. President Nc.
klnley declared at the beginning OF the
war that it WAS to be n war for humanity
and not u war OF conquest. II carried
out IN that spirit any val that can be
waged upon Spain for the Philippines
would be- TO have her concede the islands
for u reasonable consideration, and let
the Philippines establish their own o
eminent under q protectorate from the
United States aud themselves pay of
the claim OF SPAN for the liberty and
Independence gwen them, ourselves re-
tanning Manila or Cavite for a coal,np
station with such necessary portion OF
Luzon as was needful for the growing
interests OF the station in the future.
The experience OF Rome, and OF Great
Britain in the East Indies in governing
colonies through q native chief has
proved the most successful and econom-
ical and has had the effect OF developing
the colonies into self-governing com
munities to q higher degree in less time
than by actual occupation. It is alec
less expensive and less oorrupting than
the principle Of annexation and does not
morally degrade the superior nation
which takes possession by annexation.
It is to be feared that President McKin.
Icy has imbibed the latter idea through
a false impression gained in his western
tour before election, but it is hinted ia
advices from Washington that he is be-
ginning to see the error OF his former
conclusions and is now much in doubt
about adopting them. He is said 10 be
thinking more favorsbly OF colonization
by u mere protectorate which is a hope
full sign.

was on mems lips when they gathered
together and talked Of old Englands
glory and Of her gallant sons; when
they told how English soldiers fought
and died, with the strength of lions,
the bravery of heroes, they always
mentioned the brave Colonel Raoul
Laureston.
He was not wealthy, but he was the
younger son of the younger branch OF
the house Of Caraven; he had no great
patrimony; his whole fortune amount
ed to about five thousand pounds. But
he was a soldier, born and bred; he
could never have been anything else.
He was as brave as lion; he knew not
fear.
He was knighted for his bravery;
and then, as though fortune did not
know how to lavish favors upon him,
he succeeded to large fortune, left to
him by a comparative stranger, his
godfather. But the brave soldier new
err quite recovered from terrible
wound he had received in battle. The
slightest effort, the least exertion,
brought on an attack Of illness that
was always dangerous. And across
his brow, just over the right temple,
was deep red scar, left there by the
bayonet of foe. He was sent to
France and to Italy. 1t seemed as
though his military career was ended.
1t had been a terrible grief to him to
give up his profession and live abroad.
He said to his doctors:
while 1 have life 1 shall hope; the
health and strength I have lost may
return to mel may hold a sword
again. Heaven is kind"
But for the last four years he had
been at Nice, and had grown weaker;
and a great longing had come over him
to see England again. IF must die, y
he said "let me die there" And, see
ing that the inconsistencies was a bar
to his recovery, the doctors allowed
him to return. 1t was strange-the
Journey did him gocd-he was strong
er when he reached London than he
had been for some time. Then he
wrote to the only relative he had, Lord
Caraven, asking if he should, as usual,
make his home with him. He had not
heard of the earls marriage-Lord
Caraven never wrote letter unless he
was compelled to do so-and Sir Raoul
had not read the notice of it in the
English newspapers. Had he known
of the marriage, he would never have
dreamed of going to his kinsman's
home

she replied, with dignity; but, as
nothing could possibly make what you
call home more unhappy for me, and
the corning of a stranger, who may
prove friend, will be some little com
fort, say, unhesitatingly, Yes"
He looked at her half sadly.
"Are you really unhappy-really not
happy?" he asked.
IF living where no friendly face
ever smiles on me, where no friendly
voice ever reaches my ear, where no
one cares for me or takes the least
interest in me, be happiness, then l
must be very happy" she said, bitterly.
SIS it 80 bad as that?" he asked
and there was shadow Of pain in his
face.

few short weeks since her heart would

hear words spoken so kindly; now she
turned away, and from her heart to her
lips rose the unspoken prayer, "Heav-

The London correspondent of the

that the German emperor has again

"Rexite." Eighteen months ago it was
reported that the kaiser had just COM

which he had been engaged, but sew

presented themselves in the process Of
manufacture. These, however, are now

"The Rio Grande can practice

stream I know Of" said Mr.. Joseph
Copeland of Laredo, Texas, to Wash
ington Post man. "Its navigable uses
are almost nil, owing to the numerous
sandbars that obstruct the channel

but a heavy rain came along and when
the flood subsidized the channel was
away out Of its old bed and the pipes
were left high and dry 200 feet away
from any moisture. Then dispatches
were sent on to Washington and the
damage was repaired at considerable
expense. Hardly had the works been
put in condition again when here
comes another riss, and once more
the stream left Ringgold in the lurch
for its water supply. At this the COM
manding officer waxed wroth, and sent
a letter begging that the post be
abandoned. Life was too short, he
said, to waste in trying to accommo-

Few people outside the naval service
know just how war vessel goes into a

hours, though, of course, it can be done
in much less time in case of urgency.
There is one thing that makes 1t a
