leave every one to draw his own c0nclu-

the barbarity practiced by Weyler nor
the loss of the Maine, if our worst fears

At the conclusion of Mr.. PrOctors

TO the national quarantine bill. He held
strongly that the national government
ought not to trench upon the limits of
the constitution by invading the rights of
the States to establish their own QUAR-

strengthening the national maritime
quarantine.
Mr. Bacon Georgia., maintained that
the matter of quarantine was not Il

many on the lines of the speech of Mr..
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for
the colonies, was actually completed
yesterday.
This probably is an ampllficatlon of
the gossip relative to the daily visits
Of Count Van HATFIELD -Weidenburg,
the German ambassador, to the British
foreign office during the past fortnight,
which have been attributed to Il de-
sire on the part of Germany and Great
Britain to formulate n common policy
In regard to Russia and China.
Another explanation of the German
ambassadors visits to the foreign Of
flee here is that they relate to the
mixed tribunals of Egypt, the inter
national agreement OH the subject end
ing in February. Through French and
Russian influence the court has always
hampercd the British plans for the use
of the Egyptian savings and the ad-
vancement of Egypt. Now 1t is said
an agreement has been almost reached
by which Germany will support the
British views relative to the future
composition and powers of the mixed
tribunals.
1t is said that n quid pro quo for
Germany's support in Egypt, Great
Britain will recognize Germany s
claims to utilize Syria as an outlet for
her surplus population.

says 1t has received from source In
which II has every confidence, infOrma-
tlon that the Anglo-German agreement
was signed this week by Mr.. Balfour
and the German ambassador In behalf
OF the respective powers.

says that while the agreement is re-
stricted, 1t embraces an offensive and
defensive alliance in certain eventual.
