A new triple alliance, between
the Teutonic race and the two
great branches of the Anglo
Saxons would, said the colonial
secretary, be a potent influence
in the future of the world. The
speaker explained that he used
the word "alliance," but it mat
tered little whether they had an
alliance committed to paper or
ian understanding which existed
in the minds of the statesmen of
the respective countries"
A determination in every case
to look for favorable motives
upon the part of those with whom
friendship was desired would be
an enormous advantage to both
nations concerned and others

London, Nov. 30.-Jos. Cham.
sberlain, the secretary of state
! for the colonies in speech at a
luncheon at Leicester today, said
That ever since the great split in
the Liberal party he had found
himself mark for the ISLANDERS
and misrepresentation of the
baser sort OF politicians" but
that he found ompensation in
the generous appreciation of the
majority of his countrymen.
Continuing, Mr.. Chamberlain
said he was deeply gratified that
the foreign relations of Great
Britain were so satisfactory and
ne asserted that the country owed
debt OF gratitude to Lord Sails
bury for the great improvement
in Great Britain's position. 1t
was especially gratifying, he said
to note the friendly relations ex
listing between the Anglo. Saxon
branches, saying that the under
standing between the United
States and Great Britain was in
deed a guarantee of the peace of
the world.
d This statement was greeted
with cheers.
The world, che asserted. was
not governed entirely by interest
Sentiment was one of the greatest
factors
Referring to the attacks of the
foreign press, Mr.. Chamberlain
said these newspapers 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
nelghbors do not mend their

An outburst of cheering greeted
this threat of the colonial sec.
retary.
1t was a matter of congratula-
ton, Mr.. Chamberlain asserted
that the worst of these "disgrace-

German newspapers.

can feed fruit and vegetables to

big advantage in that way, but
the greatest is yet to be mentiond
we can't mortgage truck

Il
hope is now permanent between
the two great branches of the

able estimate of our prospects
and character.
This i'll feeling was due, no
doubt, to many causes, due to the
fact that the United States has
never been at war with any great
power but England, due to their
traditions, extending over a GEN.
tury, due to a feeling that the
sympathy of Great Britain was
not with them in their civil wal.
and to the gernal belief that the
people of Great Britain would
see with satisfaction any harm
that might befall them.
sit appeared to me almost USE
less to contradict these mistaken
opinions. But what the assevera.
tions of statesmen could not do
was done by the sympathy we
were able to give when the Unit
ed States found itself the object
of the suspicion which has so
often accompanied our own
transactions when engaged in
war of justice against oppression,
war in favor of civilization and
good government. Our action
proved to the Americans that we
were indeed one people, of the
same thoughts and guided by the
same principles. The assuran ce
that was given them in the course
of the Spanish war will, l believe,
never be forgotten and has placed
our relations in an admirable po-
sition. The union, the alliance.
If you please, the understanding
between these two great nations
is indeed guarantee of the
peace of the world. But there is
something more which I think any
farseeing English statesman
must have long desired, that we
should not remain permanently
isolated from the continent of
Europe, and l think it must have

PIPE LINES INCREASED

Principally through the agitation of Tax
Commissioner wingate. the sum of 81. SIC, 1o2
thus far has been added 10 the tax duplicate
Of the State by the increase in the valuation
of pipe line companies. These increases
have been made by the county boards OF
review and have been made in the face of
the local opposition which the companies
have been able to make. The basis of val
uation of pipe line companies has been on
the pipe alone and not on a pipe line. 1t
was counted as so much junk in the ground
and on the same principle railroads
might be assessed as so much lum-
Der and iron on the ground. Mr..
Wingate visited many of the county
boards and suggested that when the basis
OF valuation was fixed the earning capacity
of the line should be taken into considera-
ton.
While the immediate results have been
gratifying, the movement thus started will
have Its greatest effect in the future. Ap-
peais viii be made 10 the State Board and

panies will be assessed in the future The
State Board has full authority to call and

meeting. and the valuation on this basis
