famous suez canal squadron. General campos becomes president of the senate
 A new 'cortes will be elected in April, to be convened in May. An election in Spain is not an election in an English or American sense. although unrestricted suffrage is the law of the country. An election means that q large majority In. favor of the ministers who control and manipulate the election, therefore carry the election.
 But the election of new cortes does not necessarily mean that ratification will be postponed until May or be postponed at all senor Sllvela holds that the queen regent can ratify the treaty of peace, and that no delay need occur. The point was fully dis eussed in Paris, and it was there arranged and agreed that ratification by the queen regent would suffice. This Is the proba- bly, policy of Spain and action under 1t may be had this week.
 Senor Silvela is a devoted Catholic, and he will endeavor to maintain in every re- spect the concordat, and he will also resent any interference by France when Spain cuts down the interest on her foreign and Cuban debt, the most of which Is held in France. An attempt in France to exercise fnan- cial control over Spain will be stoutly re- sisted by the new ministry. Slvela and General Polavieja are honest men, closely attached to the interests of the boy king. They will labor untiringly to inaugurate re- forms alike in the civil and the military service Neither will countenance any dis honesty, and if peace and prosperity can be restored to Spain, the new ministry vii be apt to inaugurate them.

Alabama Not a Silent Partner.

Whether 1t be the navy in which Ala bamas fearless Hobson will be a captain at the age of 3l; or the army, where Gen. eral Joe Wheeler Is the hero of two wars; or the senate, where Alabamas s great sen- ator Is respected and heard as few sena- tors are or ever have been; or the house, where our own Bankhead is well-nigh &C., corded the leadership of the opposition menhers-in ali these fields of service Ala bama found at the top. Her name is first called in the list of states, and her sons fitly represent her in nearly every sphere of usefulness
 Representative Bankhead promises to be the especially prominent Alabamian of the remainder of the year. He is not merely a passive candidate for the democratic leadership; he proposes to work untirngly for an honor that will be as much to Ala pamas advantage as it will be to his own. If an active fight can make him the demo- cratic choice for speaker, and therefore the democtatic leader on the floor, he pro- poses to secure it. He is now dwelling among the eastern democrats. and he will stay with them until he fully understands the situation.
 MT. Bankhead should have the solid sup port of the south. If the southern strength is divided among Bankhead, Richardson and DeArmond, some man like Sulzer of New York will capture the leadership. The democratic leadership belongs in this sec- tion and the man to whom it can be safely entrusted is John Hollis Bankhead of Ala- bama. Let him have all the influence you possess. Let every Alabamian pull for him in every district in which they have any pulp at all. A pull altogether will land the member from the sixth district in a place that leads directly to the speakership in the fifty-seventh congress, a place only second to the presidency itself.

Partition of China.
Editor

The last of the naval powers of Europe. has now demanded from the Chinese gov ernment a coaling station and naval base and railroad concessions to the interior. With the supposed approval of Great Britain Italy asks for lease of San-mun bay in Che -Kiang province and for authori- ty to build railroad from San-mun bay to Po-Yang lake, The form of these grants is a lease for ninety-nine years. They are really spheres of influence that will so far as China is concerned, extend indefinitely. The five powers-Russia, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and France-now have foot holds in China, assuming, of course, that Itaiy's demands, supported by battleships and cruisers, will be granted, as they as- suredly will be, especially if Great Britain be behind her. Russia holds Port Arthur and Manchura; Germany has Kiao-Chau bay. near Port Arthur; Italy asks for bay in province next south of Shanghai; France is well placed in the South of China near Tonquin, and England dominates
 
 Great Britans foothold at Shanghai at the mouth of the great central Yang-tse- kiang river, is worth all the rest. But all are well-placed when the great act of parti- tion takes place.
 Spheres of influence mean everywhere spheres of beneficial occupation, and China promises to go the Way of other portions of Asia, and of1Africa. The twentieth cen Ttury will take over no livelier problem than that of Chinese trade and Chinese occupa- ton. The United States and Japan have footholds off the Chinese coast, so that every great power is lon the spot,' and it Is very likely that every one will have something to say when the cutting up act is brought on. A slow, insidious advance may, however, be deemed best by the coun- tries well-lodged on the mainland; but whatever policy be adopted it Is plainly the interest of this country to pull in favor of equal trade advantages in every portion of the Chinese empire. This is what is called the open door. This should be con- ceded, and if the present administration so conducts the business of this country as to lose a chance for fair trade there it must answer to. the country for such neglect. No greater calamity could we'll befall this country.

PLEAsES MIR. MORGAN

Washington, March 3-The last day of a session of congress is always crowded with business, and this year more than ever TWO of the biggest bills in the list of the appropriations were still on the calendar of the senate when that body met at 12 ocloels today-that for the support of the army and another to meet certain deficiencies in the appropriations of the previous session. representing over $1OOO00,OOo. They were rushed through. however, with great haste amid the confusion that always attends the closing session. The fight over the river and harbor bill ended happily by compromises, and the provision which re- lates to the Nicaragua canal is perfectly satisfactory to the friends of that enter prise.
 T am well pleased" said Senator Morgan this afternoon. "Of course l would be more pleased if the senate amendment could have been adopted, and $115. 900, 900 placed in the hands of the president with instructions to puiid the canal as soon as possible, but it seems that we asked too much, and the fear lest the addition of $114,OOO GOO to the al- ready enormous total of appropriations might injure their political prospects would not allow our friends In the house to vote for it. Nevertheless the compromise amendment provides for the first practical step in the obstruction of a canal by the government of the United States, and when congress meets next winter we will appro- priate the money to begin digging The bill commits and pledges the government to build the canal without the aid of inter- mediary corporations or syndicates. It is to be national and not private enter prise, and hereafter will appear in the sun- dry civil bill in the list of continuing ap- propri Persaps s1,00O0O0 is all we could properly spend during the coming year, because there. are many preliminaries to be attended to, but we are sure now that nobody will come between us and the two Central American governments"
 suggested to Senator Morgan that hav- ing accomplished his two pet projects-the Nicaragua canal and the annexation of tie Hawaiian islands-he might be ready to utter the prayer of Simeon.
 "No," he replied, "there is one more mis- sion to be accomplished
 "What Is that?" asked.
 "The free coinage of silver."
