On the upper Nile.

For years past France and Great
Britain have not been on the ~friendlicst
terms, open warfare has been narrowly
averted on more than one occasion, and
now appearances are such that unless
France promptly retires from the upper
Nile country, it would seem that a con
ilict could not be avoided.
Early in the present month the Brit
ish and Egyptian forces under Sir Her
bert Kitchener succeeded in defeating
the Dervishes, who had been in posses
sion of Khartoum for IA years, and in
sending expeditions into the surround
ing country to restore order, a force of
white men who fired upon the British
gunboats, was Dissolved at Fashoda,
which was subsequently shown to be a
force of French. General Kitchener is
now on his way with an expedition tc
investigate the matter, and it would not
be surprising should trouble result when
the two forces meet.
Fashoda is not a place of Importance
in the way of commerce or population,
but it is declared to be Of great import
ance to the future European control OF
the Nile country. 1t is 400 miles south
of Khartoum, and ut it's site it is said to
be possible to dam and divert the course
of the Nile, preventing the yearly in
nnndations to the Egyptian Nile valley
and ruin that country by drouth. Other,
wise the position bears important rela-
tions to the question of the British, as
opposed to the French influence.
Should the French be permitted to re-
tain II position of so much Importance,
the British line of communication be-
tween the Indian ocean and the lower
Nile country could be cut, by diverting
the river as Fashoda, Egypt would be
converted into a desert, and Great
Britain would be compelled to evacuate
that country. 1t is clearly to be seen
that after the amount of blood and
treasure that has been expended in
restoring Egypt and the Nile country to
something like its former condition,
England will not permit France to re-
main in the country. To France the
annexation of the British Soudan to the
territory already held on the Congo
would be an immense prize, and know
ing that all effort may be made to retain
the advantage which has been gained.
Thus the matter stands, and should
France decide that there Is profit in
spending money and splitting blood to
secure the territory affected by the
situation, war in Africa between Euro
peans is not very remote.

Will Exert a Powerful Influence.

During the ''late unpleasantness'
with Spain, Great Britain on more than
one occasion displayed a friendly feel
ing toward the United States which was
a surprise to the majority of Americans,
and undoubtedly saved this country
serious complications and possibly
trouble with some of the more powerful
nations of Europe. For some years past
there have been movements made to Sc
cure an alliance by treaty or otherwise
between the two great English speaking
nations, but the feeling in this country
has been Sc an%tagonistic to any such an
ENHANCEMENT that failure has resulted
from every such an attempt. The attitude
of Great Britain during the war ust ended
has changed that feeling to a large en-
tent, but hardly enough to make an Of
fensive or defensive alliance possible,
for the simple reason that the United
States does not stand in need of it.
However, there is no installing that
a more friendly feeling exists between
the two governments and q tacit under
standing has resulted therefrom which
amounts in effect to an alliance. This
has been demonstrated by the demands
made upon the Sultan of Turkey in the
past week regarding the Island of Crete,
which will end in securing peace for the
unfortunate people of the island. In
making the demand that the Turkish
soldiers be removed from the island,
England felt that in any action taken in
the name of humanity she would have
the moral support of the United States,
and in the event that greater force
would be required to accomplish the de-
sired result, aid in a substantial form
would be forthcoming. Had the war with
Spain taken place before the troubles in
Turkey over the Armenians occurred,
Turkey would undoubtedly have been
made to understand that such things
could and would no longer be permitted
by the English people.
The new understanding between Great
Britain and the United States will exert
4 powerful influence in all matters af-
fecting the freedom and humane treat
ment of the weaker nations. There is
no danger that the statesmen of the
two countries viii! go round with chips
on their shoulders looking for trouble
because of the understanding that help
can be had for the asking, but the en-
tire world will be better for it, and
many of the vexing and serious situa-
-tions in different parts of the globe will
be settled in a satisfactory manner to
all governments concerned. II any
thing can make the cars plan for a
disarmament of the great armies of Eu-
rope possible, it will be the influence of
combined English speaking people.

country, and do not propose to give
them up. The former minister of Gus
toms, Clark Wallace, is using every in
huence that can be brought to bear on
the Canadian commissioners to main
tain the present Canadian duties on
manufactured goods imported from this
country. He says: Canadian manu-
facturers are growing, but American
free importations would paralyze them
Mr.. Wallace and his friends, who are
e~ndeavoring to secure the markets OF
the United States for Canadian goods
and at the same time prevent American
goods from entering Canada, certainly
display more sound sense than the free
traders on this side of the line. They
have learned the principle of protection
well and give as a reason for their po-
sition the fact: Free American i'm
portations would ruin the home indus
tries" Nothing could be more plain or
more convincing. The free traders In
the United States are entirely too dull
of comprehension to grasp an idea so
simple and true.
With the Canadians so watchful Of
their interests, and the Americans so
Indifferent to the Importance OF the re-
suit of the deliberations of the commits
sion, should a treaty be concluded, it is
no guess which country will get the
best of the arrangement. 1t will be a
repetition of the former treaty. Cana
dian trade with the United States will
increase 300 per cent while the trade OF
the United States with Canada will de-
crease in the same proportion. The
manufacturers of the east are anxious
to secure advantages in producing free
wool from Canada, free farm products
and free lumber, and to accomplish
those results will unhesitatingly betray
the interests of the American farmers
and hockmasters and lumbermen. The
interests of this country demand that
the commissioners be prevented from
getting together" No good will come
to the general interests of this country
by an understanding being reached.
New Mexico has more at stake than
any other section of the United States
in the result of the attempt to secure IL
commercial treaty between the two
countries, and now is the time to act.
The wool men and dealers and Sheep
raisers owe it to themselves to see that
their interests are properly represented,
and they should act at once, or forever
aftcrward hold their peace when low
prices and s%tagnation of business come
upon the territory.

TROUGH RIDERS" AT
THE WHITE HOUSE
New Mexico Officers and Men Gall on Presi-
dent McKinley-Meet with a Cor
dial Reception.
Washington Star.

President Mckinley today received a
delegation of visiting Rough Riders
and entertained them with a story of
war times. The delegation was accom-
panied by Delegate Ferguson, of New
Mexico, and consisted of the following.
a number of whom were wounded in the
fights around Santiago: Captain w. H.
H. Llewellyn, Captain f. Muller, Cap
tain M. Luna, Captain R. G. Day, Lieu
tenant w. E. Dame, Lieutenant j. H.
Carr, Lieutenant Thomas III. Rynning,
Lieutenant E. S. Reyes. Lieutenant
Coleman, DR.. Massie, Corporal Lew
ellyn, Corporal Fries, Corporal Dean,
Troopers Knox, Cotton, Garden, Keithly
and Woog, of this city. New Mexico
furnished 44O men to the "Rough Rid
ers,'' and nearly all of them were in the
fierce fights around Santiago.
Captain Llewellyn, a typical western
er, has a colored boy with him here.
The boys name is Ernest Street. He is
IL years old, and was picked up at San
Antonio before the Rough Riders" left
there. He never left them. just be-
fore the La Guasima fight Captain
Llewellyn told the boy to 90 to the rear.
Before the boy could carry out the or
der the fight was on. The youngster
took refuge behind a tree, and finally
lay close to the ground. While he was
in that position Colonel Wood, now
General Wood, passed along, intent on
some other mission. The boy moved.
Colonel Wood thought he had gotten in
to another ambush and pulled his pistol
to shoot the moving figure behind the
tree. The boy had presence of mind
enough to yell out: Look out, dair,
Culcnel Wood. Don't shoot dis niger"
Colonel Wood restored his pistol and
turned his horse over to the boy. Street
was so proud of his record that he was
at the front with the regiment in all the
other tights. Captain Llewellyn intends
to take the boy to New Mexico and keep
him.
Each of the callers was presented in
dividnally to the president, who, after
greeting them personally, talked with
them and to them as a body in an in
formal manner He spoke with earnest
enthusiasm of the work of the regiment
in the Santiago campaign, saying that
he was pleased to have the opport unity
! on his own behalf and on behalf of the
country at large to thank the regiment
through the present delegation for the
work it had done. "Your record is one,"
he said. ''of which the entire nation is
proud. l tell people who talk to me
about the Rough Riders" that you left
the boats in squads of 20 or 80, inquir-
ing the way to Santiago, and that you
hardly stopped until you arrived there,
"You have not only done WE'LL" he
said, ''but l have no doubt you would all
be willing to again serve your country
in an emergency" The response was
that they would be to a man. !'We
want our colonel to raise a brigade in
stead of a regiment next time,' said one
of the younger members of the party.
The president also congratulated the
soldiers upon their good fortune In re-
ceiving competent officers to lead them
and met with a hearty response to all
that he said about Colonel Roosevelt and
Generals Wood and Young.

Trying to Get together"

The joint commission now in session
at Quebec, for the purpose of formulat-
ing a commercial treaty between the
United States and the Dominion of
Canada, is not having very smooth sail
ing. As one of the United States COM
missioners expressed it, Were trying
to get together" The trouble arises
from the determined attitude of the
to make no concessions, while
at the same time demanding that Cana
dian goods and products shall have free
entry into this country.
The Canadians are not dull, by any
means. and since the United States is
the nearest and best market they have
for their products, they propose to Sc
cure that market, II possible, without
allowing any competition from the
states. They realize the benefits of
protection to the industries of their
