~ CHAMBERLAIN'S HOPE
Tor a Formal Alliance Between John
Bull mud Incla Sam.

Manchester, Nov. 16.-At the ma
.ional Liberal Unionist conference here
yesterday Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
tary Of state for the colonies. made his
first public SPEECH since his return
from the United States.
Mr.. Chamberlain who was much
more explicit on the subject of Anglo
French relations than any of his col
leagues in the cabinet has been, said
ut was the hope of every friend Of
peace that the French withdrawal from
Fashoda is indicative of their accept
ance Of the principle Of British control
of the whole valley Of the Nile, regard
ing which there cannot be any discus
sion whatever" Going on to recite q
"series of unfrlendly acts perpetrated
by France in various quarters of the
globe during the last ten or fifteen
years. he said:
'If better relations are to be estab-
lished it will be necessary for French
politicians to abandon tactics whose
object has been to hamper and EN-
barrass British policy even in quar-
tiers where the French have no inter-
ests to protect I refer especially to
New Foundland, where. despite the
fact that the French fishery interests
have declined to a comparatively in
significant point. the demands Of the
French have continually Increased and
their interference with the develop
ment of the colony has increased. II
the Fashoda incident only serves to dis
abuse foreign statesmen of the erron-
eous conception that the British will
yield anything to pressure, 1t will be
blessing in disguise"
After referring to the thorough and
complete sympathy so noticeable be-
tween the motherland and her colon
ies." Mr.. Chamberlain continued as fol-
lows:
"What is of equal Importance, our
American kinfolk have begun tn UNDER
stand us better. The American peo-
pie known that in the late trouble our
hearts went out to them, and they
heartily reciprocate our good feelings.
II shall not attempt to predict what
may follow this better feeling, but I
may at least hope that in the future
the understanding of which l have
spoken may be perfected. and in the
face of that understanding we two may
be able to guarantee peace and civil
ization to the world

"My FRIEND FROM INDIA" .

The play Of this title which has earned
for Itself prominence and Its author fame
and money, will be the attraction at the
Grand Opera House next Monday night.
After having been surfeited during the
past few season, with work Of foreign ar
lists, we should hall with delight a comedy
by an American. moro especially SO, rs i!s
success has been deemed greater than any
Of the foreign farces produced here in
many yoars. The author. Mr.. H. A. Du-
Souchet, deserves not only credit, but
thanks, for having proved to our native
managers, that 1t is not ct all necessary
to seek material on the other side. There
are, no doubt. scores Of unknown Ameri-
can authors. Who. like Mr. DuSouchet
havo plays trat would prove successful
aad 1t is to be hoped tlint the time Is not
far distant when their work will receive
proper consideration. 1t has been said
that "My Friend From India" had been
offered several prominent producers, who
returned it; let us hope, however, 1t was
through their neglect to properly consider
1t, rather than their judgment. Mcssrs.
Smyth and Rice, therefore, deserve the
public's sincere thanks.

fines and back "cedula" and a hand.
some qualification to the official Is
forthcoming, the body must await In
terment, the marriage must be post
poned or transaction delayed.
Mr.. Porter then takes up the ques-
tion of education. There are free pub
lie schools In Cuba, but the teachers
have the right to take pay scholars.
and naturally those who do not pay
get little, or no attention. The pro-
portion Of people who are illiterate is
very great. Some statistics show only
one In forty of the laboring classes
able to read and write. There can be
Eo stable government In Cuba, Mr..
Porter says, until this has bcen> reme-
died.
In regard to Industrial enterprises
Mr.. Porter concludes that little can be
done until the sanitary conditions have
been improved in all the Industrial
centers. Not only the commercial
prosperity of Cuba but to a consider
able extent that of the southern por-
tlon Of the United States, depends upon
destroying the germs of yellow fever
which exist in the larger towns.
Commissioner Porter points to the
advisabilty of Immediately construct
Ing trunk railway from end to end
Of the island, with branches extending
north and south to the important cit
les and ports.
Mr.. Porter closes his recommends
tions by giving an account Of the con-
dition of labor in the island, in which
he says:
"There is at this moment a steady
increase in the demand for labor on
plantations, and in Santiago province
labor for the mines. While In Cuba
your commissioner received one cable
dispatch calling for 1900 laborers for
the mines. while three large planters
stood ready between them to employ
thousand men to work in the sugar
fields. In the neighborhood of the
sugar plantations all the able bodied
men had either been killed in battle.
died of disease or starvation. or were
still in state of practical destitution.
hidden away in the insurgent camps.
Those who offered themselves for em-
ployment We're, as rule, too weak to
Withstand the hard labor"

at the Union Scale.
Chicago, Nov. 16-The Chicago-vir-
den Coal company yesterday practically
Rcceded to all demands of the striking
miners. The company agrees to pay
the union scale of 40 cents for hand
work and 30 cents for machine work.
The agreement did not cover the fu-
ture Of the men employed to take the
places of the strikers.
Officials of the coal company held a
meeting here yesterday with repre-
sentatves of the miners unions for
the purpose of arranging a settlement
Of the long standing difficulties between
the company apd the miners. An agree
ment was reached after somewhat
protracted conference. The chief griev
ance Of the miners was the wage scale,
and the result is looked upon as a big
victory for them. The meeting was held
In the office Of President Loucks, Of the
coal company, and was attended by
Acting President Mitchell, of the Uni
ted Mine Workers Of America; Presi-
dent Hunter and Secretary Ryan, of the
Illinois Mine Workers union, and
President Cahill, of the sub district
branch state union, in behalf of the
miners, President Loucks and Man

Says spaniards VIII Not Sign.

Madrid, Nov. 1G.--According to semi
official statements here the Spanish
peace commissioners will maintain
their present attitude in regard to the
Philippine Islands. and will certainly
not accept the conditions of the Uni
ted States. Further, IL the discussion
does not return to the limits of the
protocol, as viewed by the Spanards,
the Spanish commissioners have de-
cided. in spite Of contrary reports, not
to sign treaty of peace. 1t Is also
learned from the same sources that
complete accord prevails between the
Spanish government and its peace COM
