Our legislative diplomatists dre not
willing apparently to accept the an
nouncement made at Washington that
Mr.. Mckinley would not be able to
accept the invitation to visit the state
house next week when he comes to
Boston as the guest of the Home Mar
ket Club. They have contrived a
scheme whereby an arrangement will
be made to meet the president, so that
the invitation will not be extended to
him until after he reaches Boston. 1t
has been decided to- send the engrossed
resolution to our two senators at
Washington, accompanied by a letter,
asking them to convey to the president
the resolution and ask him to make an
appointment of time and place to meet
the legislative committee after he
reaches Boston. Then and not until
then will the chief magistrate be for
mally invited to fpay the. Bay State
Legislators a visit at the state house.

1t is altogether appropriate that the
heavy silver soup tureen which was
saved from the wreck of the Spanish
cruiser Cristobal Colon should now
grace the table of the United States
battleship Oregon. 1t was first sent to
the late Senator Morrill, of Vermont
who remarked that the monogram, &C.

stood for Charley Clark" who com
manded the Oregon at the battle of SAN

before the Vermont senator's death.

Naval Board to Examine Into the Rel

Washington, Feb. 4.-To insure the
submission to the Senate of an UNI
biased report relative to the promo
ton of Rear Admiral Sampson and
Schley, Secretary Long has assembled
board of naval officers to carefully
examine all records and obtain the
facts bearing upon the conduct of both
officers during the war with SPAIN
This board consists of Capt. R. D.
Evans, VINO commanded the battleship
Iowa in the Santiago battle; Capt H.
G. Taylor who was in command of the
battleship Indiana; Lieut.. w J. Sears,
who was Rear admiral Schley's flag
lieutenant and Ensign fl. H.. Ward, as
sistant TO Capt. CrowninshieId, chief

Discussion of the legislative appro-
priation for the determination of the
gypsy moth, the past week, brought out
remarkable bundle Of endorsements
of the work from leading entomologists
both at home and abroad Letters from
I German and Russian ministers Of taeri

structiveness of the moth and the cost
Of determination in those countries. 1t
has been wholly seradicated from Great
Britain. The situation in Massachusetts
is peculiar. The gypsy, moth has not ex-
tended its ravages beyond compare
lively small area lying chiefly in Mid
dlesex county, and competent authori-
ties agree that determination is possible.
though five years and an annual expen-
diture of 100000 may be necessary to
effect it. If the mothwere scattered far
and wide, as is the San Jose scale. the
attempt would be futile, and entomolo-
gists say that appropriations would be
simply thrown away. But under the
circumstances, real progress has been
made, and it is without doubt for tine
advantage of agriculture and fruit Gull
ture that the fight should be continued.

The American flag was hauled down
once from over a colony anxious to be-
come American, but it has been re-
stored again and floats forever above
Hawaii. Had a dead man been awak-
ened anywhere at that time, told the
shameful story of the flags dishonor
and asked who did it, he would have
answered, "A mugwump," and gone to
sleep again. Republicans are not pull

RATlFY AND EXPAND.
Seth Lows View OF Duty.


(From the New York Trifbune.)
To the Editor Of The Tribune;1c
Sir--At this time, when. the fate Of
the treaty of peace with Spain appears
to be trembling in the balance, want
to throw whatever influence l may pos
sess in favor of the ratification of the
treaty. Many nations, in the course
of history, have waged war with Spain.
No other country has been able to bring
about definite state of peace within SO
short a period. Spain'is noted among
nations for prolonging a state of war
after hostilitieS have ceased. Hostili-
ties between Spain and Mexico ceased
in 1921, but it was 1888 before Mexico's
independence had been acknowledged
and treaty of peace entered into. If
the pending treaty is rejected, no one
can measure the calamities that may
follow the indefinite prolongation of a
state of war, even though hostilities
be not renewed. He is daring man,
think, who claims, from this point
of view alone, that greater dangers
viii ensue from ratification of the
treaty
Apart from this, the treaty of peace
with Spain, as I conceive. 1t, simply
places the United States in a position
to deal with the Philippine islands I'M
embarrassed by the necessity of consid-
erlnS the problem in concert with
Spain. As long as Spain has a voice
IN the matter, it is infinitely difficult to
determine whether the Philippine ISL
ands shall have their independence he
given a prctectorate or be- dealt with
IN any other way that the conscience
and judgment of the people of the
United States may dictate By sec,lr-
ing Tree hand for ourselves, the prob

Andrew Carnegie's bump of liberalit

Andrew Carnegie's bump of liberality
is still running to library buildings. He
has offered to give 100000 for the cree
ton of such an edifice at the Pennsyl-
vania State College, provided the state
will appropriate $4,000 annually for the
maintenance of the library and museum
to be connected with it. The college
is prosperous, and it is announced that
President Mckinley will attend the
commencement exercises next June.

Washington, Feb. 4. No change has
been made in Secretary Ayers plan
for visiting the West Indies. The first
thing the secretary did this morning
was to ascertain just how far the ar

and to give some further orders con-
corning them. The party eKpects{ to
start, as originally proposed, on March
6, the Monday following the adjourn

ure of some important appropriation
bill, it should be necessary to convene

postponed. Even then it is possible

Washington correspondent having
written that Mr. Brosius of Pennsyl-
vania was addicted to maps covering
three or four hours daily in his seat in
the House of Representative that
gentleman replied in a savage speech
ending as follows:
Il have said enough, Mr.. Speaker. Il
! desired for motives of public good
to admonish this individual in the flu
ture not to take up his pen, except in
Veracious intervals, however infre-
quently they may occur, if [ desired Ia
lncase him in a frame that would ex-
hibit his character for picturesque ly-
ing in suitable impressiveness. 1 would
borrow the verbal setting employed by
another under like provocation to
characterize a similar moral delin-
quency, and say, if this individual had
been born a beast, he would have been
a panther: if he had been born a bird
he would have been a buzzard; if a fish,
he would have been a mud cat: if a
reptile, he would have been a lizard. if
an insect, he would have been a bed
bug; but, being born of the human
species, he could only be a vicious
liar"
The above fine bit of vituperation
loses its force in the face of the report
ed funny fact that the correspondent
proves to have been a woman.

The Dramatic Mirror sharply de-
nounces the indecent shows which APP
pear with increasing frequency in the
great cities, and declares that the
police should be called in to suppress
them. The Mirror, as the leading Jour-
nal of the dramatic profession in this
country, is entitled to speak with au-
thority, and there are no doubt cases
where action by the police would con-
stitute the sole effective interference,
but the only lasting remedy must be
found in the refining of the public
taste. So long as a considerable num-
Der of people in any community show
a desire to pay for the sort of enter
tainment referred to, there will be
found other people ready to provide it.
The whole question can be boiled down
to one of demand and supply. Every
reform must rest, finally, upon the SEN
timent of the people The degrading
shows will flourish in greater or less
degree until those upon whom the
managers depend for support demand
something better, and the box-office win
furnish the first positive indication of a
change in the public taste.

MORTAR ONCE USED
Cannot Bind Brick and Stone Sec
 ond Time.

In a ecent article by pr. David H Reeder, professor of hygiene and dietet. ics of the College of Medicine and Sur. gerry, Chicago he states: "A chemist may steep lime shell in a quantity oi pure water so that portion of the lime will be dissolved in the water Let this water be taken into the stomach of the person to whom we desire to supply bone material. Will this lime now un- dergo a change such as will convert it into bone? No more than will mortar"
 This is a good illustration of the req son for failure to obtain results in re- building the body by administering cer- tain minerals from the drug shop. Once the principals have been made into lime, potash, etc., they cannot be re-arranged into the human economy readily, but these clements or minerals are needed in very delicate particles for the rebuild ing of certain structure in the human body. We should obtain them from the grains, for in that way nature presents them with the molecules so delicately divided that the human system takes them up.
 This is true of Grape-Nuts, the fla nous food, made with the special intent of rebuilding the brain, solar pleXus and nerve centers of the human body, by offering the phosphate of potash in a natural way, which combines with al bumen and does the work intended.
 Grape Nuts are delicious to the taste, made up in the form of small granules glistening with grape sugar, and form an ideal breakfast dish. Sold by all grocers at 15 cents per package.
