AMERICAN EXPANSION HURTS
ENGLAND.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

L.
(Chicago Inter- OCEAN,
The annexation of the Philippines is
in accordance With the principle enun
oiated in opposition to the British policy
of absorption ON this continent and in
accordance with the policy carried out
by Jefferson, Monroe, Polk and other
presidents hostile to British influence.
1t lis the same policy that thwalted Brit
tsh intrigue in Texas and British plans
in California and Oregon. The policy
pursued in the Philippines is the same
as inaugllrated during our w revolu-
tionary war, and which, enforced after
the war, saved the domain of the United
States from the British or the French or
the Spanish flag. The policy pursued in
the Philippines saved to us Louisiana,
Florida and Oregon, and brought to us
California, Nevada, Arizona, and New
Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico.
The new expansion policy of the Unit
ed States is anti British i'm it's inception
and in every essential impulse and fea-
ture. 1t mean an invasion of England's
field of trade, a struggle with her for
supremacy on the Pacific. a humiliation
Of her influence on the sea, a rival for
her in the ports of China, a successful
bidder against her for Russian trade.
1t is to be noted THAT England opposed
the oession of the Philippines to US I'M
Til We had conquered i'm a and then
she accepted the inevitable, for the
same leason that she accepted the in
evitable in Oregon and Alaska. The alb
surdity Of an Irish-American speaking
Of American expansion as Favorable to
England, a nation that has opposed at
every step u territorial and industrial
expansion, must be apparent to every
mar Of intelligence.

TAKING ASTOR DOWN A PEG.

Snubbed Gently and Internationally by
Dukes Gardner.
William Waldorf Astor, the expatri-
ated American millionaire, who now
resides in London, Is the subject Of a
lengthy biographical sketch in Tit
Bits, publication issued in the Brit
ish capital. Incidental to the sketch
it is related how the duchess of Cleve-
land gently set him down on one occa-
sion. When his grand estate offices
on the Thames embankment were fin
ished he gave magnificent banquet
to a number of swells. Showing one
of the staircases in the building to the
duchess, Mr. Astor is alleged to have
asked:
isn't that handsome, your grace?"
Eyes, it certainly is" replied the
duchess.
isn't it more so than any other
staircase you ever saw" Mr.. Astor Is
reported to have persisted.
At this the duchess back very nat
urally got up.
EYES," she said, gently, 81 admire 1t
very much. 1t is much finer than our
old staircase at Battle abbey, which
has been spoiled these 200 or 300 years
by the spurs of those stupid old
knights"
Battle abbey is probably the grand
est old place in England, and COM
pared with Cliveden, Mr. Astor's coun-
try house, is like battle ship to q
torpedo boat.
Another story with similar point
is related in the same skech. Mr.. AS
tor. 1t is averred, was lost in admlra-
ton of the duke of Westminster's lawn
at Cliveden when he first saw it, and.
it is said, asked the gardener:
"How do you grow turf like THAR"
"Well, sir" says the gardener, rub
bling his chin and looking very limo

as It rolled every day for hundred
years or so. SIR"

CHAPTER XII.


Philip took the advice Of his cap
tain; he had no difficulty in finding
himself received by hospitable mer-
chant, who had a house at some dis
lance from the town and in a healthy
situation. There he remained two
months, and then re-embarked a few
DAYS previous to the ship being ready
for sea. The return voyage was fortu-
nate and in four months from the date
of their quitting Batavia, they found
themselves abreast of st. Helena; for
vessels, at that period, generally made
what is called the eastern passage.
running down the coast of Africa, in
stead of keeping toward the American
shores. Again they had passed the
Cape without meeting with the Phan-
tom Ship; and Philip was not only in
excellent health, but in good spirits.
AS they lay becalmed, with the islands
in sight, they observed a boat pulling
toward them, and in the course of
three hours she arrived on board. The
crew were much exhausted from hav-
ing been two days in the boat, during
which time they had never ceased
pulling to gain this land. They stated
themselves to be the crew of small
Dutch Indiaman, which had foundered
at sea two days before; she had started
one of her planks, and filled so rap
idly that the men had hardly time to
save themselves. They consisted of
the captain, mates and twenty men be-
longing to the ship, and an old Portu-
guese Catholic priest, who had been
sent home by the Dutch governor for
having opposed the Dutch interests in
the island of Japan. He had lived
with the natives, and been secreted by
them for some time, as the Japanese
government was equally DESTROYS of
capturing him, with the intention of
taking away his life. Eventually he
found himself Obliged to throw him
self into the arms of the Dutch, as be-
ing the less cruel of his enc
mics.

oeyser That keeps Exact r,me.

One of the most curious clocks in
Che world Is that which Amos Lane OF
Amidee, New, constructed some time
ago. The machinery, which is moth
ing but face, hands and lever, is con-
nected with geyser, which shoots out
an immense column of hot water every
thirty-eight seconds. This squirting
never varies to the tenth of a second.
and therefore clock properly attached
to it cannot fail to keep correct time.
Every time the water spurts up it
strikes the lever and moves the hands
forward thlrty-eight seconds.

Early Sweet Corn.-Last year, we
made money on our Crosby sweet corn,
while much of the Evergreen barely
paid expenses. The Crosby came in
during July when there was little corn
in the market. The season was cold
and wet, and farmers on. heavy soil
lost much of their seed. We planted
early on our light sand, and the crop
went right along and reached the mar
ket ahead. The later Evergreen all
came in a bunch. We planted too
much Evergreen last year. We don't
intend to hunt for our money in late
corn again, but to put it where we
might have made it last year-in ear

sort to assist us in distress" But the
Batavia sailed in smooth sea, and I'M
der a cloudless sky, and nothing was
seen. In a few weeks she arrived OH
Java, and previous to entering the
splendid roads, the Batavia hove to for
the night. This was the last night
they would be under sail, and Phil
ip stirred not from the deck, but
walked to and fro, anxiously waiting
for the morning. The morning broke
the sun rose in splendor, and the Ba-
tavia steered into the roads. Before
noon she was at anchor, and Philip,
with his mind relieved, fastened down
to his cabin and took that repose
which he so much required.
He awoke refreshed, for a great
weight had been taken off his mind.
ut does not follow, then" thought he,
that because am on board the vessel
that therefore the crew are doomed to
perish; it does not follow that the
Phantom Ship is to appear because l
seek her. If so, have no further
weight on my conscience. l seek her,
it is true, and wish to meet with her;
l stand, however, but the same chance
as others; and it is no way certain
that, because l seek, am sure to find.
That she brings disaster upon all she
meets may be true, but not that |
bring with me the disaster of meeting
her. Heaven, thank Thee! Now can
l prosecute my search without re-
morse"
Philip. restored to composure by
these reflections, went on deck. The
debarkation of the troops was already
taking place, for they were as anxious
to be relieved from their long conf1ne-
ment as the seamen were to regain a
little space and comfort. He surveyed
the scene. The town of Batavia lay
about one mile from them, low on the
beach; from behind it rose lofty
chain of mountains, brilliant with YER
dure, and here and there peopled with
country seats belonging to the resi-
dents, delightfully."- embosomed in for
ests of trees. The panorama was beau
tiful; the vegetation was luxuriant,
and, from it's vivid green, refreshing
to the eye. Near to the town lay large
and small vessels, forest of masts;
the water in the bay was of a bright
blue, and rippled to a soft breeze;
here and there small islets (like tufts
of fresh verdure) broke the uniformity
of the water line; even the town itself
was pleasing to the eye, the white col
or of the houses being opposed to the
dark foliage of the trees, which grew
in the gardens and lined the streets.
Can it be possible" observed Philip
to the captain of the Batavia, who
stood by him, that this beautiful
spot can be so unhealthy? l should
form very different opinion from it's
appearance.
Even" replied the captain, "as the
venomous snakes Of the country start
up from among it's flowers, so does
Death stalk about in this beautiful
and luxuriant landcape. Do you feel
better, Mynheer Vanderdecken?"
Much BETTER" replied Philip.

stay here?"
mot long, as we are ordered to run
back. Our cargo is all ready for us,
and will be on board soon after we
have discharged"

THE PAVING COMMITTEE
A PLAN DEVISED WHEREBY Pa
WING TAXES MAY BE PAID
IN INSTALLMENTS.

At the last meeting of the city council
the matter of preparing some bills
remedying certain defects with reference
to municipal laws, and which at his
time interfere with the paving plans of
the council, was referred to the city at
torney, city engineer and the committee
on paving. The committee met last even
ing in the office of City Attorney De
Wolfe.
Some taxpayers object to paying the
paving tax in a lump sum, and the idea
of the aldermen was to secure the enact
ment of a law permitting the assessments
to be made on the installment plan. How
ever the city engineer submitted a sug-
gestion to the committee last night which
may obviate the necessity of appealing to
the legislature. Mr.. Bickenbach looked
up the law and found a section authorlz-
ing the passage of an ordinance levylng
the special improvement tax and allowing
the tax to run three years and be pald IN
three annual installments, and Nj. Blck-
enbach's plan is to make each block on
the streets to be paved a special improve
ment district.
The committee decided to report to the
counci recommending that an ordnance
based on the suggestions offered by the
CITY engineer, be drawn up and submitted
to the council.

Hon. Patrick Carney Says It is
Crowded to Sufftcation.
NEW BUILDING IS NEEDED
A Bill is Before the legislature Pro-
viding Necessary Relief and
Will Probably Pass.

Hon. Patrick Carney of Waterloo is in
the city. Mr.. Carney is president of the
board of trustees of the state Orphans
just returned from Helena where he has
been doing a little missionary work with
the legislators in behalf of this excellent
institution.
There are now 81 inmates of the home"
said Mr.. Carney to an Inter Mountain re-
porter this morning, land our buildings
are wholly inadequate to meet the de-
mands made upon them. We are so
crowded for room that we are compelled
to use the hospital for a nursery and the
chool room for a dormitory, and should
an epidemic break out in the home we
would be greatly embarrassed. The leg
islature will not meet again for two
years., n unless we get some relief at
the present session We will simply have
to turn away all children who apply for
admission during 1899 and 1900. We are
conducting the home on a most economl-
cal plan. cheaper than any other public
institution in the state is being conducted,
and our cost per capita, with less than 100
inmates, is a little less han SO. We have
a bill before the legislature carrying will
it an appropriation of $11 900, to be ex-
pended in improvements. 1t has passed
the house, and I have reason to believe,
will pass the senate"
Rev. Wiley Mountjoy, a former resi-
dent of Butte. is superintendent of the
home and his administration of affairs is
giving very general satisfaction.
Mr.. Carney was a member of the leg
islature which located the state institu-
tons, and it was largely through his eff
forts and those of the late Senator Met
eel that the home was located at Twin
Bridges. With the incoming Of Governor
Smith Mr.. Carney was appointed a MEM
Der of the board of trustees controlling
the home, and he has given the %institu-
ton much of his time and is entitled to
some credit for its splendid condition.
