multaneously, the stump is snubbed Off
at the undercut, which provides slant
ing surface, so that the butt has no
place to rest, and perforce slides to the
ground If the tree needs to be rolled
off to one side half the undercut is
slanted, and a pile of chips is placed
on the flat surface of the other half;
the result never fails to manifest the
efficacy of this device. Again, by leav-
ing one side of the uncut wood between
the undercut and the sawcut thicker
than the other, the tree may be drawn
considerably away from its natural
course.-William Adams, in the Engi-

Yesterdays ballot for United States

opposition.

Alexandria, Egypt, February 11-Cecil
Rhodes, who, in the eyes of most Eng
lishmen, is the incarnation of the imperial
istic policy, holds views concerning the fu-
ture of the United States even more far
reaching than most American imperialists
have preached. Mr. Rhodes in CONVERSE
ton with a representative of the Associated
Press on board a steamer in the Mediter-
ranean, predicted most confidently that
within a century the United States would
have advanced the work begun in the ac-
QUESTION of Cuba until it controlled all
of the American hemisphere except Canada.

produced without absolute verbal accuracy

work already done in Cuba and predicted
that it would be carried on in the Philip

ization and repeatedly exclaimed: "You
are taking to, it like mothers milk" ap-
parently with the greatest delight.
Animated by Selfshness
He inquired with great interest what
were the arguments of the opponents #

mented that they seemed to be animated
by selfshness.
ut is the duty of civilized nations to take
charge of the barbarians and give them
white mans government" he said 1.-THE
United States Is one of the great powers
and cannot escape this duty" He did not
believe that the United States would ever
withdraw its authority from Cuba and
thought. the manner in which Spain had
been evicted from her colonies and the
United States had taken possession most
business like. Americas action in COM
pensating Spain for the Philippines sur
prlsed him. ST would have bundled the
Spaniards out and made them pay a war
indemnity" was his comment.
He declared that the United States could
never withdraw from the Philippines be-
cause It was their duty to give this people
good and strong government. They
might grumble for time over the expense
but that that would be "a mere flea bite"
to a nation so rich. Why not abandon
some of the expenses of the pension list,
which seemed so unreasonably large If
economy was necessary.
Necessity for Large Navy
Even If large navy must be built the
United States could well afford one. So far
as the fear of provoking foreign entangle-
ment and wars went, while England and
the United States stood together and main
tanned their present understanding which
was practically an alliance, no combina-
ton of powers dare menace them. To gov
ern colonies, the United States must or
ganize staff of colonial officials, but that
they would do that as easily as they would
organize a new navy.
To the suggestion of the anti-imperialists
that the Philippines would be only the be-
ginning of the colonization, he said:
There are no more islands of the sea to
be taken up The territory of the savage
race is practically all pre-empted by the
civilized. The ultimate work Of the United
States will be to govern South America

ALGER TO BE UNLOADED

From the New York journal
Regard for his political fortunes may
compel the president to request the resig-
nation of Alger Within another year his
marty will have decided upon leader for
the battle of 1900 There is no time to lose
~ the administration is to rid Itself OF the
burden and blight of Algerism.
That the president may adopt heroic
methods in his dealings with the Michigan
man has been made plain to him by ms
closest advisers. Hanna took alarm weeks
ago. Secretary Gage has been persistent In
his demand that the president should ask
Alger to retire Vice President Hobart is
also said to regard the situation as critical.
To this strong array have been added the
voices of republican senators in earnest
protest against the presidents making
vicartous sacrifice of himself for Algers
blunders.
These appeals of self-interest will proba-
bly, have great weight with President Nc
Kinley. There has never been chief ex-
ecutive with a keener eye to the main po-
litical chance. He veers with every shift
ing breeze. His mind Is never made up I'M
til the temper of the public is definitely
known. To remove Alger would be, in eff
feet, an admission of the truth of the
charges against him. The president has
hesitated to take action because 1t would be
an acknowledgement that giving Alger
cabinet office as q reward for political SER
vices was responsible for the scandals of
the war department.
But with thoughts of a second term col
oring all his acts, and the warnings OF his
political sponsors ringing in his ears, the
president will probably yield to the pres
sure and request the Jonah Of his cabinet
to walk the plank.
