OUGHT TO BIZ PERMANENT.
Happy Relations Between England
and America.
SIR ARTHUR BALFOUR SPEAKS OF
ANGLO-AMERICAN ENTENTE,

Two Great Countries Have Been Re-
stored TO Their Normal Relation,
After a Century OF Unhappy Discord
--Csnnot he Greater Guarantee OF
Peace.
London, January 30.-1hs Right Hon.
Arthur James Balfour. first lord of the
treasury and leader of the ministerialists
In the House of Commons delivered his
annual address this evening to his con-
stituents at Manchester. After speaking
of the intrinsic difficulty which conti'
mental nations find in understanding
Great Britain's "aims" he continued as
follows:
"Rut there is surely one great country
which by community Of language. re-
ligion, blood, origin. and even institu
tions, is well lifted to unders tand us and
a country which we should be well fitted
to understand. Need say that the
country to which ] refer is the United
Statess Some foreign critics cynical by
profession and training, hold the view
that the friendship now happily existing
DtlW6tu Tic Ihkiibh bpSohAhk RSSfA~s w.
both sides of the Atlantic is but the
growth OF the moment and depends upon
u transitory community OF interests
They affect to believe that when this dis
appears friendship also will disappear:
They hold that il British traue should feel
injured by some inconvenient tamil, I'M
meuiately the sentiments so generaiiy
felt at this moment in Great britain to-
ward America would vanish ike the
leaves In Autumn.
According 10 my observations, said
ar. Balfour, 1.-The world Of cynics is al
ways wong. ! believe the cynics wrong
in this case. II our good relations really
depended upon those fortuitous circum .
stances, while the latter might be the
foundation of an alliance, they could not
be the foundation of what Is Infinitely
more importAnt-of that species OF friend
ship which, in season aud out OF season.
through good report or Ill, Is to be shaken
by mere personal circumstances.
"It was in this bali in 1896 that first
spoke of the international relations be-
tween the United States and England
In those dark days of this Venezuelan con-
had been aroused by the wholly un-
founded suspicion that we had some de-
signs of empire in South America and
when by u natural reaction we felt that
our brethren on the other side of the
water had neither Judged nor treated us
with knowledge and fairness. l then ex-
pressed my faith that the time would
come when all speaking the English
language and sharing the Anglo.saxon
civilization would be united with sym
pathy wuich no mere political divergon-
cies could permanently disturb.
81 felt then, though l spoke my inmost
convictions, that l must impress my
hearers as something of dreamer and an
idealist or as u prophet only hoping for
what ne himself can hardly expect to see
realized. But the three years that have
elapsed since have wrought n surely mar
velious change in the relations between
the two countries a change which l be

Memorandum for the Secretary of the

Navy Department Bureau of Ordnance,
Washington, Jan. 80.
Memorandum for the Secretary of the
Navy.
Referring to the reported speech of
General Woodford at the Army and
Navy club at New York on Saturday
evening last in which he is quoted as
saying:
THAT on Feb. IS, 1898, three days after
the Maine was blown up in Havana har-
Dor, he received information by tele-
graph that this government did not pos
sess powder enough to provide its war
ships and forts with two rounds for each
gun"
So far as relates to the navy this is an
error as every vessel was practically
| filed up with her allowance of ammuni-
Iion. So far as relates to the supply of
ammunition on board Dewey's ships, the
| fact is they were never reduced below
the limit prescribed by the department
and they could have safely gone into ac-
| ton without receiving further supplies
The total number of rounds fired from
guns of the main batteries in the Manila
engagement wasl414 viz:
l6T eight inch; 635 six inch; 322 five
inch, and from guns of the secondary
battery 4445 viz: 1857 six Founders; S26
three Founders and 1852 one Founders.
The vessels engaged expended about
one-third of the allowance.
One hundred and seven auxiliary ves-
and fourteen newly commissioned regu-
lar vessels were supplied with complete
outfits of ammunition, and good reserve
supply was maintained at the principal
naval stations so that no time either
before or during the war can it be said
that the navy was SO short of ammunition
| that it could not at any time have carried
on active operations.
| Respectfully
| Charles Oneil,
| Chief of Bureau of Ordnance"

THE DUTY ON PULP.
Publishers Urge That IL BE
Removed.

Washington, January 30-A called
meeting of the American Newspaper
Publishers association was held here to-
day with view to directing the atten-
ton OF the American m,mbers Of the
Joint high commission to the urgent need
that policy be adopted which shall pro-
tect American forests by securing to tn e
treaty now in course Of preparation be-
tween the United States and Canada a
revocation Of the present duty on print
paper and pulp from Canada.
A statement of the views of the Ameri-
can Publishers association was adopted
ordered to be printed and presented TO the
mem bers of the commission and to reprs-
sentatives and senators in Congress. IL is
In part as follows:
That the honest Intentions which origi-
naliy Induced the establishment of the
tariff duty on paper and pulp have been
perverted to further the purposes Of "a re-
Gently formed corporation, the Inter
national Paper company and that every
ne W spaper publication in the country east
OF the Rocky Mountains has been placed
at the mercy OF that corporation. In view
of the fact that the International Paper
company is selling It's surplus paper in
England, Australia and Japan in success
and Swedish manufacturers and In view of
the important point that the International
Paper company Is protected by reason of
its proximity 10 Its customers to the ex-
tent of an average of l6D per ton and by
reason of Its inability to obtain cheaper
and better supplies of coal and chemicals,
we fall to SEQ the occasion for giving
| sanction 10 its abuse of governmental
protection.
That machinery OF the government
which imposes prohibitory duty on
print paper is also placing a premium up
on the exhaustion Of our spruce forests
and is adding to the destruction wrought
by forest fires and vandal methods OF
timber cutting. No succe ssful competition
with the International Paper company Is
possibls in the United States under ex-
istiug conditions.
We therefore urge that advantage be
taken OF the opportunity offered by the
Canadian treaty negotiation to place pulp
and paper on the free list and thereby
give the only strong and permanent as
surance of protection from this combina-
ton.

were represented: burlington, Vt, Free

committee was appointed to present
! to the President the statements Of the
views of the publishers on tine question
OF free pulp adopted at today's meeting.
At 2 10 this afternoon the publishers
called on the President at the White

meeting with the American joint higt
