Nothing that you have done since
the events in Samoa brought us so close
together has been a surprise to u.s.
They We're simple acts of a noble
minded man and an English gentle
man. To me with my eyes open to it
all, it has been a marvel that in the
midst of the whirlwind of events re-
curing patience. skill and courage, you
have been able to command the situa-
ton in all it's bearings so perfectly. If
the officers and men of the Porpoise are
sample of the English navy, then
want to be convert to the principles
of Anglo-SaXon alliance, not from mo-
tives of policy, but because I see that
from behind the power of your ship
there is stronger moral power for the
uplifting of the human race.
1--WE are fixed in our faith that the
English American alliance is another
expression of human freedom, unusual
prosperity and the ultimate political
millennium throughout the world"

Notwithstanding their efforts, and they
now join in saying that the only hope
for the appropriation lies in the body
where senatorial courtesy is more power
full than where the rules are as frigid as
those of the house. Senator Warren, who
has made a hard fight in the senate for
the appropriation for the reservoirs is,
however. by no means certain of success.
1t seems probable that the best that can
pass is an appropriation of $4,000 to pro-
vide for surveys of one reservoir in each
