Especial to Cincinnati Enquirer)
Washington, December S.-Secretary oil
State Hay is now sorry he was dragged
into Ohio politics. The general charge has
been made that secret alliance between
this county and England existed, and 1t
was exploited early in the Ohio canvass.
| For good cause the republicans saw Mt to
practice duplicity concerning 1t. Secre-
tary Hay, an Ohio man, wrote quite
lengthy letter in which be denied the ex-
| istence of such alliance, either written OF
implied. Since then there have been oc-
casional renewals of the charge that there
was an understanding OF some kind, Of
fensive and defensive.
The Hay letter served the purpose Of a
political campaign. But at this late day
1t is exploded, not by the political enemy
but by one who ought to know the secret:
OF diplomatic intercourse between the
United States and England. Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain in his speech at Leicester.
clearly made plain that there is an ALI
ance between the United States and Eng
land just as binding as though in writing
Mr.. Chamberlain is the English colonial
secretary of state, and married an Ameri-
can wife, the daughter OF Secretary OF
War Endicott under Grover Cleveland. 1t
served his purpose in order to scare France
to tell the truth about it, just as did the
Hay letter to conceal the truth in order to
serve Mark Hanna and Chairman Dick.
Behind this disclosure trouble may over
take the jealous secretary of state. Tho
president has no right to make either an
alliance or treaty with any foreign power
without the assent of the United States
senate. In the light of the Chamberlain
speech correspondence has doubtless
taken place covering the alliance between
Secretary of State Hay and the English
foreign office. This Mr.. Hay has denied
over his signature in the labored letter
which opened the Ohio campaign. Now it
is up to congress to find out just what
Mckinley and Hay have been at 1t is the
expectation that at an early day a resoln-
tien--fill be adopted in the senate calling
for the copies of the letters.
The Chamberlain speech likewise ex-
plains why President Mckinley has re-
Trained from expressing the sympathy Of
this government with the South African
Republic now at war with England. 1t I
also lifts the veil and shows. why Eng /

Washington. December 1.--secretary of
State Hay denies that there is an alliance

body could produce a scrap of paper indi-
eating that there is any alliance between
this country and England He was asked
20 explain Mr.. Chamberlain's speech, and
said that MIR. Chamberlain or any other
man in England had the right to make any
sort of speech he wanted TO. This de-
NAL of the secretary is a distinct conces-
sion to that feature of public opinion that
has been demanding an explanation from
Mr.. Hay on this subject for several
months. The secretary OF state has calm
ly and persistently ignored all inquiries
and refused to deny or affirm the exist
ence OF an alliance.
Today, however, when he read Mr.
Chamberlain's speech and saw the ex-
tent to which the English colonial sec
rotary went in confessing that at matters
little whether We have an alliance COM
mitted to paper or an understanding which
exists In the minds of the statesmen of
the respective countries" he appeared t.
think that the public was entitled 20 a,
least denial. And he made 1t.
There is a suspicion in Washnsto, that
President Mckinley read the chamberlain

park commission yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Belts stated that he had made nu-
merous inquiries of pratical men at the
convention about the best materiel with
which to construct tho proposed water

was recommended as best. But ono man

ing capasitv OF the tower might be lesson
ed by defective plate Good iron, plates
however,, are free from the defects usually
found in steel.
Nothing definite has been dons by the
commissioners abont the construction of
the tower as yet. The site is vet to be Sc
lected. One conclusion has been reached
however, and that Is to erect an attrnc-
tive brick tower about the structural iron
tank, leaving sufficient space between to
contain spiral stairway.

WASHINCY0NS JUBILEE
The Three Days Celebration Draws
Many Visitors.
sousAs "HAHDsAoaoss THE SEA"

Evoked che Applause OF the Diplo-
Mats. Which Broke In Roars of Cheers
Along the Whole Length of the Court
of Honor.
Washington, May 24.-Beginning
with an imposing parade Of military
and other uniformed organizations
and closing with display of fireworks
at night, the national capital yester-
day inaugurated three days peace
jubilee. The main thoroughfares Of
the city and all the public buildings are
decorated with bunting and the cataract
i've programme Of paradss and festivi-
ties has drawn large number of visi-
tors. With the exception Of a shower
which was not OF sufficient duration to
mar the occasion the weather was
ideal, and Washington today wears It's
Inauguration aspect. The parade,
which was the feature of the first day,
moved down Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween cheering throngs, through the
handsome court Of honor In front Of
the White House and passed in re-
view before the president and dis
tinguished party Of public officials.
The day opened with the boom Of
big guns from the Dolphin, which, an
chored on the navy yard, fred the ma
tional salute at sunrise and church
chimes and hundreds Of steam whis-
ties Joined In the noisy chorus. At
noon the departments closed and
poured their thousands out to Join the
crowds on the streets and at the same
hour a salute of 46 guns was fred.
Over 5000 men were in the parade.
The route was that followed by the
Inauguration parades., The public

benches along the avenue near the
court of honor were black with people
and the surrounding parks were
thronSed. The president, members Of
his cabinet and their wives, ambassa-
doris and foreign ministers with their
attaches, General Miles and his staff
and many prominent people in public
and private life occupied the review
ing stand.
The enthusiasm was great as the pa
rade passed through the court of honor.
Cheers and applause greeted favorite
organizations. The president and Sec
retaries Hay and Gage, who stood on
q small platform jutting from the
stand, were repeatedly and tumultously
applauded as they uncovered each time
the American colors trooped by. Cen
eral Wheeler was accorded the largest
demonstration. In full uniform he
rode in carriage He sas everywhere
cheered As he reached the reviewing
stand he arose and saluted the presi-
dent. The people went wild. Another
interesting and significant incident
was the cheering of Sousa's new march
Hands Across the Sea-" The ap-
plause which greeted it was started by
the diplomats, spread through the
stand and broke in roar of cheers
along the whole length. of the court Of
honor.
Probably $4,000 people went to the
white lot last night to view the mag
niflcent display Of fireworks, which in
cluded a realistic reproduction of the
battle Of Manila and portraits of Presi-
dent Mckinley, Admiral Dewey and
other ntable characters of the war.
Presiden; Mckinley and Mrs. Mckinley
and most of the members of the cabinet,
with the ladies of the families, occu-
pied vantage seats and were interest
ed spectators of the exhibition.
There were many special electrical
devices On business houses, while the
court of honor, stretching along Penn
sylvania avenue in front of the presi-
dents house, formed an object of
much interest to thousands of specta-
tors. The great centre pieces were
handsomely illuminated and decorated,
as was also the grand stand from
which the president and his cabinet
viewed the parade in the day.
