A NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Hearts of Teutonic and Anglo
Saxon Nations

LONDON, Dec. Joseph Chamber
lain. the secretary of state for the COLO
nies, in speech at a luncheon at Lei
cester, said,it was especially gratifying
to note the friendly relations existing
between the Anglo-Saxon branches, say
ing that the understandings between
the United States and Great Britain
was indeed a guarantee OF the peace OF
the world.
This statement was greeted with
cheers.
1t was of the utmost Importance, Mr..
Chamberlain further remarked, that
Great Britain should not remain lso-
lated in Europe and her natural alliance
was with the great German empire.
They had lad difficulties with Ger.
many, but their interests and sentl-
ments were the same, and. an under
standing between the Ieutonlc and
Ang]o-Saxon races might do mora than
any combination Of armies to preserve
the peace of the world.
The world, he asserted, was not gov
erned entirely by interest. Sentiment
was one OF the gIeatesl factors.
Referring to the attacks of the foreign
press, Mr.. Chamberlain said these news
papers had not even spared "the almost
sacred person of the queen" This, con-
tinued the speaker, provoked natural
Indignation (which may have serious
consequences if our neighbors do not
mend their ways.
An outburst of cheering greeted this
threat of the colonial secretary.
1t was matter for congratulation,
MIR. Chamberlain asserted, that the
worst of these "disgraceful attacks" did
not appear in German papers.
A new triple alliance between the
Teutonic race and the two great branches
of the Anglo-Saxons would, said the
coloaial secretary, be a potent influence
in the future of the world. The speaker
explained that he used the word ''alli-
ance,'' but it mattered little whether
they had an alliance committed to paper
or IAN understanding which existed IN
the minds of the statesmen Of the re.
spective countries"
A determination in every case TO look
for favorable motives upon the part Of
those with whom friendship was de.
sired would be an enormous advantage
TO both the nations concerned and
others.

ALLIES OF ATKINSON.
Dubois Snys Silver Republicans Will
Form Combine With New Eng
land Anti-Imperialists.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The Silver Repub.
icans in conference here planned, it is
announced, to ally themselves with and
to make use OF the "anti-imperialism" :"
agitation, especially in eastern states,
where the silver issue does not attract.
Cooperation with Edward Atkinson s
following will be sought. TIE purpose
OF the Silver Republicans is to gain, if
possible, with this new issue, a foot
hold in the eastern states, SO that their
party can more truly claim to be ma
tiona1 organization and thus become a
more effective whip for holding the
Democrats to the Bryan and l6 to1
line.
This is one reason why the Silver Re.
publicaus want to hold a big national
convention of 1900 O. more delegates
next year. Confirmation of this plan
came from Fred j. Dubois, former sena-
tor from Idaho, and chairman of the
Silver Republican executive committee.

FOR VOLUNTEERS
A call Will be Issued in few bays
The Army VIII be Brought up to 1OO,-
900 Men-More Troops Needed in the
Philippines

A call for 80, 900 volunteers will
probably be issued in a few days.
This will be under the recent army
reorganization bill and will give I'm
Gle Sam an army of 100, 900 men and
will mean release for the volunteer
regiments yet in the service.
1t is the opinion Of acting Secretary
Meiklejohn. in which the other mem
bers of the cabinet agree, that the
military forces in the Philippines must
be strengthened at once. He has al
ready laid the matter before the Pres
ident. At least so, 1000 soldiers will
be necessary in the Philippines to In
sure complete control Of the islands.
This will mean an increase of 20, 600
men in the force at the command of
Gen. Otis. Six regiments are now
under orders to go to Manila, and 1t
is the opinion of acting Secretary
Meiklejohn that the others should be
sent just as rapidly as transports can
be secured. 1t is said that President
Mckinley shares this view.

Some Important Matters are

Selectcd-In Rear of old Presbyterian
irave Yard.
Council held its regular meeting
last night and great deal of bust
ness was transacted A permit was
granted to James a. Davis to reroof
his residence with shingles and an
other permit was granted to A. J.
Hare to build an addition to his res
idence on Main street.
The Union Improvement company
gave notice To the council that they
would refuse to furnish gas for the
open gas jets such as are now used
for street lamps and that another
contract would have to be made with
them. They recommended the cree
tion of WelsbacL lights in their
stead.
These will be enclosed and will
not burn near the quantity OF gas
that the old ones take at present
The company agrees to put these in
for nine dollars each and to furnish
the gas for them at ten dollars
year which is the same rate that
they now get for the old lights
One Of the lights can be seen in
front of the postoflicc building.
They are very good ones and are
much heater in appearance than the
old ones. A committee consisting
of the mayor and recorder was APP
pointed to confer with the gas com
pany in relation to the matter.
The Presbyterian church made
proposition in regard to dumping
place for garbage which was accept
ed. They agree to allow the use Of
their land in the rear of the grave
yard on Spruce street IL the council
will clean up the graveyard and fence
it neatly. The council will do this
in the near future.
There has been considerable kick
ing about this place being used for
a dumping ground but it is the only
place available and it will have to
be used. After the dump reaches
the run at the bottom of the ravine
large line of thing will be put in to
carry of the water.
