IT'S A BROAD FIELD.
North Dakota Offers n Good Chance
to DR.. ElHnll.

to DR.. EdsnI.
Fargo, n. D.-Thc Episcopalians Of
this state are awaiting with much in
terest the decision of Rev. Mr.. Edsall,
pastor of st. Peters, Chicago, on the
acceptance Of the position of bishop in
this state. He is little known in North
Dakota, and his selection came as Il
surprise. 1t was understood that he
was an applicant for Il similar position
in Iowa. 1t is reported that he is in
doubt about the acceptance until he
has had time to fully investigate the
situation. Unlike the older states,
North Dakota has had no regular bish-
op. For many years Bishop Walker
was missionary bishop for this diocese
and since his elevation two years ago
to the charge of the diocese of western
New York, the churches in this safe
have been looked after by Bishop Mor-
rison Of Duluth That gentleman lad
his hands full with the affairs of his
own diocese, and has been unable to
devote much time to the church inter-
ests in this state. If Mr.. Edsall does
accept the position here he will be
royalty welcomed. There is il broad
church may be rapidly advanced with
that Fargo will be made the head
quarters of the bishop, as under the
Walker regime. The church work here
has taken rapid strides forw ard for the
last year under the pastorltc of Rev.
Mr.. Mooney. All the diSScnsions that
existed as the result of the fight be-
tween Bishop Walker and Rev. Mr.
Nash have been adjusted The foun-
dations for an elegant new church arr.
completed. and the structure will be
erected the first thing next spring.

The Cunard Company has lately
given an order for a new steamship.
which will be the largest ever con-
structed. She is not to be a passenger
boat, and is not to be built for speed,
and accordingly she will attract less
general interest than her smaller sis
ters, the Lucania and Campania, which
register only thirteen thousand tons
apiece. The biggest vessel now afoat
is the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, Of
the North German Lloyd. She is six
hundred and fifty feet long, and reg
listers more than fourteen thousand
tons. She will not long be the levi
athan Of the Atlantic liners, for in a
short time the White Star Company
will have the Oceanic on the water,
and she, with her seven hundred feet
length, will be twenty feet longer than
the Great Eastern, the wonder Of the
last generation.

Decision Reached by the President
and His Cabinet.
Chicago. Oct. 2O.-rhe TimeS-lIcrald
prints the following Washington dis
patch:
President Mckinley has decided to
keep all the Philippines. The United
Philippine debt in consideration of Il
quit claim by Spain. The American
peace commissioners will be instructed
to lay the presidents decision before
the Spanish commissioners at Paris on
Monday. This statement OF the adj
miniStration'S programme is made on
the highest authority. 1t was given
after yesterdays cabinet meeting, at
which the Philippine question was
fully discussed. The presidents de-
ciSion had been forcShadowed. but he
had rrfrained carefully from commit
Ting himself Anxious to execute the
will of the people he has been studying
the sentiment of the country for
months. When he went West he
found himself swept along by the full
current of expansion sentiment. Per-
sonally the president hcsitated to
thrust upon the nation the grave re-
sponSihilities attached to the govern
nent of the Philippines. but he has
great faith in the ultimate Judgment of
the common people of the United
States and he bows to their will. The
Spanish commissioners at Paris have
been trying to drive Il financial bargain
With the representatives of the United
States. They have
Not offered Serious Objection
to the abandonment of the Spanish ter
ritory, but they have sought to make
every loss Of the kind the basis for Il
claim for cash. Their chief concern
has been to relieve their country from
some Of the crushing financial burden
which makes its future so black The
president has been informed that the
Spanish commissioners would demand
a cash Indemnity if the United States
decided to hold all the Philippines.
The president has decided that the
United States can afford to be gener
Gus with Spain in the settlement of the
fate Of the Philippines. Instead Of
asking congress for an appropriation
to give the Spanish the cash for which
they are crying. he has determined to
assume the debt of about $4OOOO,O0O
created in 1896. This consists of
bonds bearing 5 per cent. 1t is be-
lieved the senate will ratify treaty
with Il provision assuming such Il
debt. In administration circles it is
thought the revenues Of the Philip
pines will enable the government to
meet the interest and principal of the
bonds, without burdening the United
States proper. One of the first things
to be done may be the ref,lntling of
these bonds in Il security bearing a
lower rate Of interest

ODDITIES OF POISONING,
Much of Earthly Happiness Depends
Upon What We Eat.

Upon What We Eat.
The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among indi-
viduals should always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison ivy with impunity
while another is poisoned if only in
the vicinity of the vine and without
contact. Some members of a family
residing in malarial district will
suffer regularly with chills and fever,
while other members will not be at
all affected
Food that is actually poisonous to
some persons will not act so on Others
One person may eat all kinds of green
fruit and vegetables with impunity,
while another person could do so only
at the risk of life. Certain kinds of
fish are actually poisonous to some
people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
1t is this peculiar condition of the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual case and
should be prudently observed by each
one for himself. Intestinal derange-
ments frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food.
Thus person affected with kidney or
liver trouble should not eat very white
bread, since the extreme whiteness is
often produced by the use of alum
with an inferior article of flour, and as
alum is known to be poisonous in it's
effects on a sound constitution, this
is why alum baking powder is never
used by people of judgment and dis
erection.
More of earthly happiness depends
upon what We eat than many people
realize and it is for this reason that
the different states are one by one
passing pure-food laws.

It was Chicago man who sold his
affections to woman for about a hun
dred dollars and then repudiated the
woman; and it was Chicago judge
who ruled that she could not recover
the money because mans love could
not be estimated in dollars and cents.
It might have occurred to the judge,
one would think, that the man was a
swindler; and if that failed to bring
satisfaction there ought to have been
horsewhip-not for the judge, per-
haps, but for the man.

According to letters received from
members Of the First Kentucky regi-
ment, which landed at Ponce, Porto
Rico, on the transport Alamo, the
greatest hardships were endured by the
soldiers during the voyage. The men
were quartered in the hold with foul
air to breathe, and the diet consisted Of
canned beef, raw tomatoes and coffee
once a day. A guard is said to have
been kept around the officers kitchen
to keep the starving men from taking
food by force. The steward is alleged
to have made money by charging high
prices for ice water and bread. The
eternal monotony of the same food is
enough to drive man crazy, espe-
cially canned food. No more trans
ports should be sent anywhere without
a proper variety for the men aboard.

The United States consul at Vienna,
in report to the state department on
the trade of Austria Hungary for 1897,
ascribes the general decrease in ex-
ports to this country to the fact that
the same goods are now manufactured
in the United States and can be sold
there at the same or lower prices than
the Austrian goods. The report is that
American silk is being sold in Lyons,
the real silk center in Europe, and
that French manufacturers are buying
it. in large quantities, especially that
used for lining purposes, to take the
place of that formerly imported from
Austria and Germany. There is fall
ing off in the demand for pearl goods,
and for glassware, due to the popu-
1arity and superiority of the American
product. 1t is frankly admitted, the
consul says, that the American cut
glass is finer and more elegantly cut
than any manufactured in Europe The
American bicycle, according to the con-
sui, is finding favor with the wheel
men, notwithstanding it's higher price
over those Of domestic make. He
thinks that if United States manufac-
turers desire to get their wheels into
the foreign market they should be sat
isfied with little less profit and try
to make easier terms for their agents.

RED CROSS WORK
Food Expeditions Landed and Distrib-

guarded.

New York, August 25.-G. W. Hyatt, the Red Cross agent at Key West, who was a prominent Havana merchant has been en- gagged in sending small relief expeditions to various points on the Cuban coast.
 Relative to the work he writes to Ste- phen D. Barton as follows:
 'I am happy to inform you that the two last expeditions of food sent to Cuba one to Cardenas and one to the coast above Sagua le Grande, arrived safely and were delivered to the hungry women and chil- dren, to their great delight. A part of that sent to the shores near Cardenas was carried on mems backs nearly to Matanzas and distributed to the . ngry. My men doing this work have returned here and are begging for more food. Matanzas. Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces are suffering horribly.
 Notwithstanding you have so much work to do in the different volunteer camps in the United States. I most sincerely hope thai the Cuban relief committee will not
