Referring to Mr.. Chamberlain, Mason
said: Let the distinguished Lilliputian
statesman, rafting around in Glad
stones shoes, trying to undo his work
and break his promises, be assured that
he is deceiving no one except possibly
himself
He declared that no nation except a
professed bully would make the de-
mands upon another that Great Britain
made upon the Transvaal Republic, and
in closing said:
81 have not sought to excite prejudice
by our past differences with England.
They are forgotten and forgiven But
when the colors of republic are
struck, and we sit silent, it would seem
that we are ashamed or tired of our
institutions, and by our silence give
consent to the destruction of self-gov-
eminent in Africa The Statue of Lib
erty Enlightening the World in New
York harbor is neither a myth, fiction
or lie. We may say without boasting
that if self-government is right, We
have helped the world. If 1 am

say to the world, Washington, Monroe
and Webster are dead, but the Ameri-

Mason addressed the Senate for an
hour and twenty-five minutes He was
not once Interrupted in the course OF
his speech.
AT it's conclusion Lodge, after ex-
pressing the wish that Mason might
have delivered his address in the Brit
ish Parliament. said there was a wide
gulf between private opinion and pub

the South African war The passage
of this resolution by the Senate would
change Immediately that attitude. IF
we are to depart from the position of
neutrality said Lodge, sit ought to be
a subject of most serious consider
ation'
He moved, therefore, that the resolu

with bands and the ringing of church
bells. Cattle were killed and houses
were opened to the troops
How much of this display was sin
cere and how much due to a desire to
propitiate the conquerors, it would be
hard to say. There were evidences
that similar hospitality has been ex-
tended to Aguinaldo. The people de-
scribed him as cheerful, hugging the
hope of salvation through American
politics, and everywhere trying to re-
tain support by proclaiming, with SEEM
ing sincerity, that the United States
Congress would certainly recognize the
independence of the Filipino Republic
in December.

gramme included piano recital by
Senior Cato. He is essentially virtuoso,
brilliant, fascinating and at times aston
ishing. His playing has dashing style
that is exceedingly effective in the COM
position he most affects. His scale work
is crystalline and pure and he has the
power to coax the most limpid tones
from the instrument OF which he is a
master. This part of the programme
was worth the price of admission and
gave genuine pleasure to the cultured
listeners"

graph Next to life itself there is moth
