FLOODS IN THE CARIBOU,
The Snow on Lookout Mountain Melted by

Vancouver 3. c., March "A letter
from Lac La Hoche, camp in the Car

when steam issued from its side and
the snow was sent in streams Of water

Alexandria, Egypt, February IL
Cecil Rhodes, who in the eyes of most
Englishmen, is the incarnation Of the
imperialistic policy, holds views con-
corning the future of the United States
even more far reaching than most
American imperialists have preached.
Mr.. Rhodes in conversation with a rep
resentative of the Associated Press on
board the steamer Hapburg, on the
Mediterranean, by which he came to
Egypt In the interests Of the Cape TO
Cairo railroad and telegraph, predicted
most confidently that within century
the United States would have advanc-
ed the work begun in the acquisition
of Cuba until it controlled all of the
American hemisphere except Canada.
The substance of the conversation is
reproduced without absolute verbal
accuracy.
Mr.. Rhodes expressed admiration for
the work already done in Cuba and pre-
dicted that it would be CARRIED on in
the Philippines. The United States,
he considered, one of the nations best
equipped for colonization and repeat
edly exclaimed you are taking to
it like mothers milk" apparently feel
ing the greatest delight.
He inquired with great interest what
were the arguments Of the opponents
of imperialists in the United States,
and commented that they seemed to
be animated by selfishnes. 1T is the
duty of civilized nations to take charge
of the barbarians and give them
white mans government" he said.
1.-THE United States is one Of the great
powers and cannot escape this duty"
He did not believe that the United
States would ever withdraw its author
ity from Cuba and thought that the
manner in which Spain had been evlct-
ed from her colonies and the United
States had taken possession most bus
iness-like. Americas action in COM
pensating Spain for the Philippines
surprised him. Il would have bundled
the Standards out and made them pay
war indemnity" was his comment.
He declared that the United States
could never withdraw from the Philip
mines. because it was their duty to give
these people a strong and good govern
ment nor did he believe that when they
had begun to realize the results of their
work there Americans would desire TO
abandon the policy. They might grum-
BILE for a time over the expense, but
that would be "a mere flea bite" to a
nation 50 rich. Why not abandon some
Of the expenses Of the pension list,
which seemed 50 unreasonably large,
if economy was necessary
To the suggestion Of anti-imperial-
lists that the Philippines would be only
the beginning OF colonization, he said:
There are no more islands Of the
sea TO be acquired. They are all taken
I'D. The territory of savage races is
practically all pre-empted by the civil
lized. The ultimate work of the United
States will be to govern South Amer
lea. You will probably begin with Mex
leo. acquire the Central American
States. then those on the continent Of
South America, until you hold all the
country TO the south Of you. These
States have incompetent governments
practically barbarian governments
and it will be your duty TO give them
the white mans government"

MUSEUM FEDERATION.

The idea Of developing n great museum of in
dustrial arts on the foundation OF the Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences Is one that finds
favor with leaders in the work OF that corpora
ton as well as with other persons experienced in
museum work. Elsewhere to-day we publish
the views Of Professor Hooper and eX Mayor
Body Of the Institute, and Of General di Ces-
nOa, the director Of the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art. Professor Hooper naturally insists that
there must be no sacrifice Of the educational
work for which the Institute primarily exists
and TO which 1t owes its high reputation. Ger
tainly that should be maintained. and every
thing In the line of collections which are essen
tal TO that scheme OF popular education may
properly be included in its galleries. Those
casts Of sculpture and architecture. geographi-
cal and geological models, photographs of works
of art and other objects which ought TO be
ready at the hand of pupils pursuing such
courses as the Institute gives could not be neg
lected, as Professor Hooper wisely points out
They are the apparatus Of study, and are more
properly TO be regarded as the laboratory furni-
ture OF an educational workshop than the eX-
hbts of great museum
Every college has its scientific collections and
| its library, more or less extensive according to
| the character of the work done In any particular
| line But Columbia does not try TO compete
with the Natural History Museum with the
Public Library in gathering collections Of world
wide fame, and no more need the Brooklyn In
stitute. Pratt Institute and Cooper Union have
such industrial art collections rs they need. and
would, OF course, keep them and enlarge them
as occasion required, even II there was great
industrial arts museum here, without in the
least attempting to compete with that museum
by acquiring objects distinctly for a museum
rather than for laboratory. Every modern
museum worthy Of the name Is, OF course, an
educational institution. and not a curiosity shop
Nevertheless there is great difference between
a museum developed along many lines for edu.
caional purposes, as Professor Hooper rightly
insists the Institute must be. and one trying "a
cover any or all fields In the way that the Brit.
ish Museum and the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art cover one and the Natural History Museum
covers another and the institution at South Ken
sington still another. For great collections sucl
as these there Is no need Of duplication I'm 4

miles does not count much II concentration OF
