Lord Charles Beresford, in the Pail
Mall Magazine: That 1t exists there
can be no doubt. Even to people on
this side of the Atlantic It is apparent;
and those who. Xix. myself, have lately
passed through the United States can
testify to its intenhIty and spontaneity.
The cause which has produced 1t is not
far to seek. A greater sympathy and
friendship has been apparent for two or
three years. Even the excitement
about the Venezuelan dispute failed to
disturb Il; and when 1t looked as II
Continental Europe was disposed to en-
ter the contest between the defense of
Spanish interests Is with view of hui
initiating the United States, there APP
peared a genuine sympathetic interest
which extended from the man in the
street to the cabinet minister at White
hall. We pitied the fall of Spain, but
we could not help feeling that our kins-
men were taking up the cause for
which this country in the past has
spent so much and made such gigantic
sacrifices. AS became n neutral. we
were unmoved spectators OF events, un-
til that whisper arose which stirred us
all TO our depths.
When it became evident that an in
trigue was on foot to throw Latin al
lance into arms against the United
States. the voice OF Great Britain was
Enthusiastically heard, and we showed
plainly that in such an event Great
Britain must be reckoned with, and any
attempt to wrest from our klnsmen the
gains won by her sons ashore, and
afioat by a combination Of Continental
Europe, would have to meet the whole
AnElo-Saxon race in armed alliance.
The storm passed, but that little proof
Of our sincerity did more than a tor
rent Of words to establish cordial rela-
lions between the United States and
Great Britain. Our kInsmen realized
for the first time. what we have never
doubted over here. that, differ as we
may between ourselves, neither OF us
would ever see the flag Of Anglo-SaHon
freedom dipped on either side OF the At
lantic to an overwhelming combination
OF Continental Europe.

SAMOAN AGREEMENT.
Asserted That There is No Serious
Hitch in the Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Nov 27.-The Unit
ed States has declined to accept the
agreement as to the disposition of the
Samoan Islands reached by Great Bri-
tain and Germany. 1t was possibly
the leaking out of some information to
this effect that gave rise to the report
circulated in European Capitals re-
Gently of the development of serious
hitch in the negotiations.
AS matter of fact, there is no seri-
Gus hitch, and the reasons which in
1uenced the State Department here in
rejecting the British German arranGe-
ment when it was submitted for ap-
proval related entirely to minor mat
ters, and touched rather upon the form
than the substance of the arrangement.
Having rejected the .entative treaty
submitted by the other two Powers, our
Government has in turn and at the
instance of the other parties prepared
and submitted a. draft of a treaty which
it is hoped will be acceptable to all
three Powers. This is now before the
Foreign Offices at London and Berlin
for consideration, anG it is confidently
telieyed here that it Will receive unanl-
nous approval, not differing in prin-
ciple, as already stated. from the orig
inal project.

He Didn't Bite,

"I never can tell a story and have it
come out all right" said a little wom-
an plaintively the other day. II
thought I had such a good one not long
ago. I was walking along and heard
one street boy say to another oh, you
go buy 10 cents worth of potash.
What for?' says No. 2. For 10 cents,
yelled the other, and ran off giggling.
II thought it was pretty good, and I'd
try it on Charlie at supper. But when
I told him to go buy 10 cents worth
of potash he never said a word, and
knew another joke had fallen fiat and
kept still. But the worst was later. He
put on his hat and vanished after sup
per, coming back in q. minute with a
little parcel. that he handed to ms.
What's that?' asked I.
"'Wlly, the potash you said you
wanted answer he, and I nearly had
Mysteries on the spot. Did you ever
hear anything so perfectly awful?
don't ever try to get off anything funny
again.

Rehearsing His own Funeral.

A curious incident is related by the
Japanese papers. Mr.. Kumekawa OF
Kobe. like every other intelligent Jap
anese desired that his funeral should
be attended by cermonies appropriate
to his rank and social position, and in
order that he might not be disappoint-
ed in this respect, having reached his
seventy y-seventh year and feeling that
his days were numbered. he deter
mined to have his funeral in advance
and make the arrangements himself.
Therefore. on the day appointed his rel
atives and friends were invited to his
house and gathered around an empty
coffin with all the paraphernalia of
mourning and engaged in the most
elaborate Buddhist ceremony that could
be devised. Mr.. Kumekawa sat at the
head Of the casket and watched with
interest all that was going on.
After the ceremonies at the house
were concluded a procession was
formed which marched through the
principal streets to the cemetery. Mr..
Kumekawa walked in front of his own
coffin. The floral offerings were num-
erous and beautiful. The Kobe City
modern airs, while at intervals were
groups of dancing girls and members
of the theatrical profession, who per-
formed pantomime allegories to illus
trate the nobility of Mr. Kumekawa's
character and the loss that was suf-
fered by the community at his death.
Just before reaching the gates of the
cemetery the procession was halted
and several photographs We're taken.
After the coffin had been lowered into
the grave and covered with floral Of
ferings the funeral party proceeded to
the Jinko Club, where an elaborate
feast was served and speeches eulogis-
tic of Mr.. Kumekawa were delivered
by several of his friends.
Mr.. kumekawa was thoroughly salts
tied with the success of his funeral, al
though it cost him large sum of
money, and he may now depart in
peace, Knowing that all the rites have
been observed and when he dies it is
only necessary for his family to place
his body in the coffin that lies in the
ground.-Chicago Record

DEWEY FAvoRs sUBIG BAY.
Thinks 1t Preferable to Cavite fol-
Naval Station.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2T.-Ad1niral
Dewey called at the Navy Department
to-day inresponse to a request from Sec
retary Long to discuss the question Of
establishing naval station at Cavite
or some other point near Manila Such
station is now in operation at Cavite
hut it is foreseen that the requirements
OF the navy may be much greater than
those which are temporarily attended
to at Cavite.
The Admiral brought with him por-
tions of his report to be incorpora ted in
the full report of the Philippine Corn
mission. This discusses the establish
ment of permanent naval station in
the Philippines, and regards Subig Bay,
about sixty miles from Manila, as pre-
ferable to Cavite, as this is a fine har-
Dor of a capable depth of water, and
has many natural advantages for max
ing this a strong naval establishment.
