OUR INNATE POWER.

The Cologue Gazette accounts for
the complete silence of European
diplomatists in the peace negotiations
between Spain and the United States
by saying that interference by any
European power in the Philippine
question would have aroused the Bit
fterest enmity of the United States and
would have barred the importation
Of the interfering powers products
into this country. incidentally the
Gazette remarks that mutual envy
among the powers prevented concert
of action in continental Europe, al
though it was believed that England
favored American possession of the
Philippines with the idea of increas-
ing the power of the ,Anglo-Saxon
race in the Asiatic Pacific.
In the case of England, as we'll as
in the case Of the continental powers,
there was recognition of the innate
strength of the United States. The
question of interference in. behalf of
Spain did not turn on sentiment, on
the friendship of the people, but on
business interests. No one of the
European nations could afford to
sacrifice the American market; not
one cared to incur the hostility of a
nation OF 7O,OOO.0OO. of people buy
ing European products.
We import from European and
Asiatic countries goods to the valu e
of $SSO,OOO,OOO annually. Germany
in 1897 sold in America merchandise
to the value of S111,210,00O; Great
Britain sold merchandise in American
markets to the value of $l68,OOO,OOO;
France, s57,53O,OOO; Belgium, $l4,-
100000; Austria, So, 1000; ;Switzer-
land, s13,849, 900; Italy, $40, 100000,
and the Netherlands, $12, 2,824,0OO.
The United States was a more valu
able customer in every way than
Spain. Her markets are becoming
more valuable every year, and the
idea of American expansion was from
the business point of view not antag-
onistic to European interests.
Sentimental and political as well
as business interests Influenced Eng
land in our favor. Sentimental and
political considerations undoubtedly
influenced Russia to support the
United States. Outside of these two
great powers the question was purely
one of business. The greatest power
on the ocean, England, and the great
est power on land, Russia, are bidding
for our friendship. All of the Euro
pean nations are reluctant to antag-
onIze he Unitv'l States. These facts
make II clear that our policy should
be directed to the Improvement of
our position among nations without
alliance with any. There may be
jealousy, unfrlendliness, resentment,
but in the end our innate power as a
great commercial nation will decide
controversies in our favor.-Inter-
Ocean.

BEARS ARE CURIOUS.
They Bite off the Insulators from
Telegraph Poles.

From the Augusta tAlcD Journal.
The bears in Northern Maine COM
bne a great love for the crab apples
which are grown in that region with
Ignorance of the appliances Of modern
civilization. When Al telegraph COM
pany started to put up poles in the
woods between Ashland and Fort Kent
the supplemented bears began to sniff
at the tall sticks with suspicion, evil
IDENTIFY mistaking them for some new
form of deadfall that was erected for
the special purpose of killing bears.
They stayed away from the camps of
the workmen all the time the route was
being surveyed and while the poles
We're going up, refusing to respond to
the Turing odors of scorched fat pork
or burned molasses. But when the glass
insulatOrs were screwed to the long
arms of the poles every bear in North
ern Aroostook came out to watch the
progress of the work.
Although the superintendent of the
job pronounced the line completed and
ready for service a month ago, the
company has been unable to procure
the transmission of messages through
the long strip of woods above Ashland.
A double force of linemcn is kept at
work all the time, but in spite of their
labors the insulatOrs are pulled off and
broken 50 often that no communication
can be kept up for three hours in sue
cession. The company hired detectives
and offered large rewards for the cap
ture of malicious men caught injuring
the insulators. AS this proved useless,
the detectives finally went into the
woods and found the whole line swarm
ing with bears that climbed the poles
and bit off the insulators faster than
the linemen could renew them.
The only way the telegraph men can
account for this perverted taste on the
part of the bears is that the animals
believe the insulators are their favorite
crab apples and they had gone aloft
and made actual proof. The telegraph
lines will apparently be able to do no
business until every bear i'm Aroostook
county has thus satisfied himself.

Midnight Show at Gaiety.

Manager NanOsten, of the Gaiety,
is right up to date in offering MS pat
rons everything in the way of innova-
tions that ia possible for their COM
fort and convenience. \ midnight
performance is certainly an innova-
tion to Scrantonians, but that is Just
what is going TO be done on election
night at the popular Gaietv. The
City Sports will give two performances
that night, the regular S o'clock per-
formance and a midnight show, the
latter for tn, benefit of those who de-
sire to remain W and receive the
complete election returns. Special
telegraphic service has been arranged
for to be placed on the stage of the
Gaiety and between each vaudeville
act and during intermission the re-
turns of both local and national cleo
tions will be read. IS every one is
aware Of thu fact that the more i'm
portant returns revcr arrive until
about midnight, consequently the priv
ilege of securing comfortable seat
smoking IL cigar, Witnessing first
class performance and hearing cleo
ton returns direct from the wire ought
surely 10 be the means of packing the
Gaiety theater from top to bottom
that particular night. Reserved seats
for these two performance win be
placed on sale Monday and regular
prices will prevail. The city Sports,
which will be the attraction at the
Gaiety for three days commencing to-
day, is one OF the strongest burlesl lue
organizations op the road this season
and extra efforts We're put forth to
secure this attraction for election
week in order that this midnight per-
formance might be placed.

After years Of steady defeat IIar-
ward at last won her big game this
year. defeating University of Pennsyl-
rania at Cambridge, Saturday, by
score OF 10 to o. 1t was great game
throughout and was witnessed by 49,
900 spectators. Harvard's team was
aided much towards victory by good
luck. but it concededly played the
superior game. Pennsylvania ends
were only ordinary, while Harvard's
men in those positions played superb
ball. Penn's kicking was poor, her
backs fumbled wretchedly and her
tricks proved boomerangs.
In the line the hOnOrs were about
even, although Harvard had the most
beef. The Crimson tackles had little
the best of it, but this was evened up
by the brilliant work of Hare, Over
field and McCracken, the central trio
for Penn. Hare was the star player OF
the day, with DAILY. Harvards wiry
little quarterback, n good second for
individual hunOrS Captain DiDDle did
not play his usual star game.
The first score was made before the
game was quarter of minute old.
Coombs missed Harvard's kickoff and
Il run, made a headlong dive across the
line. Instead of disheartening Penn
sylvania the fiuke only made her men
desperate and they went at Harvard's
line like demons. In the matter of clear
ground gaining the Quakers bested
their opponents. but everything they
gained in this respect was lost by poor
handling Of the ball. Harvard, too,

times, in several instances holding
Penn for four downs, after the Quaker's s
battering-ram, guard s-back formation
had carried the ball thirty or forty
yards.
Penn tried d field goal, but missed by
II foot. Harvard's second score was on
a beautiful forty-iive yard placement
goal from the field, Bennett making the
kick. 1t will go down in foot ball his
tory as one of the prcttiest kicks on
record.

In THE PLAY HOUSES.
Eddie Bald Tomorrow Night.

And now they say that the great
bicycle race in "A Twig of laurel"
the play In which Champion Eddie c.
Bald Is featured, is n simon pure race.
Somebody invented u contriNanco by
which the ground-covering power OF a
bicycle can be reduced TO suit the
cNigenclcs OF the stage without les
senlng the speed of the wheels revo-
luton or the eXertton required of its
rider Thus, on forty-foot stage. the
wheels used in the race scene of "A
Twig of Laurel are so guaged that
to cover forty feet in two minutes the
riders must work exactly as hard as
they must to cover a mile in the same
time. The fastest rider will soonest
cover forty feet, just as he would
soonest cover the mile. of course,
Jack Meredith (Nr. BalD must win
the race. That's plot" But second
place goes at each performance to the
man who can secure it by fast riding
So il is not at all impossible that the
worlds record for the mile open
may be broken in the race in "a TWig
of Laurel" before the season is over.
The play will be seen at the Lyceum
next Tuesday evening.

Cadets Tie the Tigers.

Princeton was as good as defeated
at West Point by allowing the Cadets
TO tie them. The Tigers line was
pierced at will by the Cadets backs
and Ayers was greatly outclassed at
kicking by Romcyn. The Cadets, by
making the most Of this advantage and
through the penalizing of the Tigers
far off-side play and other faults, at
critical times, won their equivalent of
a victory.
Princeton scored a touchdown in the
first half, but missed the goal. Ro-
meyn made a successful place kick to-
wards the end Of the second half and
tied the score.
