Mr.. Cannon raised the point of order that

election to the presidency of France. Faure
had been kind to the old admiral; he has
been kind to all Americans who have ever
crossed his path for thirty years. He was
a common soldier in the Franco-Prussian
war. Perhaps he was a corporal, but moth
ing more. He was wounded in battle.
Admiral Kirkland was in Havre on board
his flagship, the Minneapolis. He made an
official call upon Faure, who was president
of The chamber of commerce and mayor of
the city, Faure extended to the admiral
and his officers princely courtesies. Between
Faure and Kirkland there sprung up
warm friendship. To the surprise of both
of them Faure was elected president OF
France to succeed the murdered Carnot.
Kirkland sent telegram of congratulations
and signed 1t officially as rear admiral conf
manding the European station of the Amer
lean navy.
That was a grave offense against dip'o-
macy and was directly contrary to the ma
val regulations. The Hon. Hilary A. Her.
bert, of Alabama, then secretary of the
navy, was obliged to Immediately recall
Admiral Kirkland He had appeared to take
part in foreign politics and was deprived of
command and placed on waiting orders. y
He was waiting when death came.

forward to wider sway and usefulness"
Secretary Long received an ovation Sec
ond only to that OF the president. He was
cheered to the echo, and even the president
arose and waved his napkin salute with
the audience. Some one In the audience
called for three cheers for Dewey
friend"
Secretary Long was then introduced and
spoke as follows:
"You have heard the president and the
pos tina general utter their statements
of our relations to our foreign possessions.
What can / add? The treaty of peace with
Spain, thank heaven, has been ratified And
while, unfortunately, the delay In Its ratlh-
cation may be accountable for the recent
bloodshed at Manila, the discussions which
preceded it have not been without their
value in honest presentation of all phases
of the situation and in holding the country
to the highest ideals of national duty and
honor. The rejection of the treaty would
not only have prolonged the war tn Spain,
but would have taken out of the hands of
the people and put into the hands of one
man, the president, absolute authority over
the Philippines, limited only to the indefinite
scope of what is called the war power,
welded by purely military arm holding
naked sword. Think of that for imperial
ism. 1t is a great credit to the president
that, like those two other modest candi-
dates, Julius Caesar and George Washing
ton, he has refused the offer of a bngly
crown On the contrary, the good old
democratic plan has been adopted of put
ting the disposition of those islands into the
hands of the American people, who will
duly express their will through their rep
resentatives in congress.
II have no doubt that the president Is
delighted to have the elephant off his hands
and on theirs. Why shall not the United
States, now that these lands and tribes
have been entrusted to its disposition, en-
ter upon the trust thus imposed upon 1t,
with the determination that as 1t began by
freeing them from the yoke of oppression,
it will go on and insure them still larger
blessings of liberty and civilization and Will
so bear itself toward them that in securing
their welfare 1t shall also promote'its own,
and, as always happens when men or ma
lions cooperate in the spirit of justice and
good will, the reward shall come to both in
their mutual increase? Is that not the
craftsmanship of the great Master who linz
tied not His mission or that of His discl-
pies to His own chosen people, but pro-
claimed that His gospel should be preached
in all the world unto all nations-that
greatest statesman of all time, Jesus
Christi"

The future of the Philippine Islands Is now
in the hands of the American people. I'm
til the treaty was ratified or rejected, the
executive department of this govrnment
could only preserve the peace and protect
life and property. That treaty now COM
mits the free and enfranchised Filipinos to
the guiding hand and the liberating infiu-
ences, the generous sympathies, the uplfft-
ing of their American emancipators. No
one can tell today what is best for them,
or for us. l know no one at this hour
who is wise enough or sufficiently informed
to determine what form of government will
best subserye their interests and our in
terests, their and our well being. If we
knew everything by intuition-and 1 some
times think there are those who believe
that If we don't, they dove should not
need information; but, unfortunately, most
of us are not in that happy state. The
whole subject is now with congress and
congress is the voice, the conscience and
the judgment of the American people.
Upon their judgment and conscience can
we not rely? 1 believe in them. l trust
them l know of no better or safer or hui
name tribunal than the people.
Until congress shall direct otherwise, 1t
will be the duty of the executive to possess
and hold the Philippines, giving to the peo-
pie thereof peace and order and benefcient
government, affording them every oppor-
tunity to prosecute their lawful pursuits;
encouraging them in thrift and industry
making them feel and know that we are
their friends, not their enemies that their
good is our aim; that their welfare Is our
welfare, but that neither their aspirations
nor ours can be realized until our authority

4 writer IN Nature speaks Of the cruel
medical tyranny which banishes the
strawberry from the diet Of the gouty,
and quotes what Linnaeus had TO say
about the curative properties OF this &c
Hghtful fruit. This great naturalist was
persuaded 10 take strawberries during a
severe attack of sciatica, with the result
that a sweet sleep ensued, and when he
awoke the pain had sensibly subsidized.
on tho next day he ate as many straw
berries as possible, and on the following
morning the pain was gone, ana he was
able to leave his bed. equity pains re-
turned at the same date in the next year.
but they were dispersed as soon as Lin
naeus was able 10 get strawberries. Al
though strawberries are forbidden 10 the

they are permitted. the fruit being re-
carded as "a useful food for equity per-
