THE WHITE MANS BURDEN.
Hon. David Mills Delighted That We
Have Taken 1t Up.

Detroit, February 25.-Hon. David Mills,
Canadian minister of justice, was the
principal speaker this afternoon at the
sixty-third anniversary exercises of the
Detroit Bar Association. His subject was
1.-THE Comparative Constitutional Law of
Canada and tho United States"
In mentioning the fact that the United
States had recently crossed the boundary
which marks an imperial SYSTEM" Mr..
Mills said, you have entered upon the
work begun by the mother of free states a
century ago. You, too, recognizing your
high calling, have taken up the white
mans burden, and l am sure that the feel
ing of every Canadian is that this new de-
parture in your historical development may
be of great value to yourselves and of
priceless advantage to the world"
Speaking of our relations with Canada,
Mr.. Mills said the imperial government
and Canada have always been anxious for
more sympathetic relations with the United
States, but for some reason this feeling
has not always been reciprocated. when
you extend your possessions ] believe that
by coming more In contact with other ma
tions, you will better appreciate our for
eign policy and will naturally be drawn
more closely to u.s."

THE MARIETTA MATTER.
Minister Correa Explains the Absence
of Any News.

Washington, February 25.-Neither the
navy department nor the Nicaraguan lega-
ton here has had any recent news of the
Nlcaraguan revolution nor of the United
States steamship Marietta, which was dis
patched over week ago to Bluefields to
look after American interests there. The
navy department has made several efforts
to communicate with the Marietta without
success and 1t was rumored In the state
department that the Nicaraguan govern
ment was under suspicion of holding up
the departments dispatches to her.
Mr.. Correa, the Nicaraguan charge here,
explains this by saying Bluefields is in the
hands of the insurgents and that 1t is I'm
possible to get through a message from
that point to the United States without
running down the coast to San Juan or
Colon, as there Is no cable from Bluefelds
to either Managua or any other point from
which the United States can be reached by
wire.

faculty of arriving at the why" and
wherefore of things. These men have
sifted Governor Johnston's position before
talking. One of them said 20 me: 1.-THE
governors deceit in this matter strikes me
as being the most unfavorable point
against him. Men came here in their own
interest working to receive an appoint
ment He used them for his own ends all
during the legislature. 1t goes without say
ing that his personal intimation caused
these men to take up his fights. Not only
one, but several worked for him at his own
solicitation. 1t Is this feature of the case
that shocks me- Through the candidates
the governor called to his aid hundreds of
their friends to fight his battles. He in
timated that he wanted help, but he let
them go on to the last and be Inundated" !"

PACIFIC CABLE.
Provision for It's Construction to be In
corporated in Sundry Civil Bill.

Washington, February 25.-The senate
committee on appropriations today agreed
to incorporate a provision in the sundry
civil appropriation bill providing for the
construction of a submarine cable con-
Meeting the United States with Hawaii.
The amendment provides for the laying of
the cable by the United States and it's
subsequent ownership by the government
the navy department to perform the serv-
ice when the cable when completed to be
operated by the postoffice department
The original proposition providing for
the extension of the cable to the Philip
pines was stricken out because of the un-
certainty of the tenure of the United States
in the last named islands.

the Mechanics Pavilion with eighteen
