NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Continued from first page.)

parable yesterday from the morning
press and the weekly journals today
ring the changes upon his new rem
dering Of Lord Sallsburys simple
theme that Enga1d's relations with
both the United States and Germany
were all that could be desired.
Mr.. Chamberlain is neither a dlplo-
matist nor lawyer bu. he knows what
is going on in the world and how to
make practical use of the oppOrtuni-
ties for influencing public opinion at
home and abroad He has directed at
teton N the good feeling now exist
ing between the Anglo-Saxon and T-u-
tonic races as a fact Of world wide i'm
portance anr therby has helped 10
strengthen it. He uses the phrase,
triple alliance" only 10 qualify It in
the next breath by reducing It 10 an
understanding based upon the com
mon interests to which Mr.. Reed re-
ferred at the New York chamber Of
commerce dinner and Mr.. Choate sub
sequently in London.
The practical result is that every
body in England and Germany IS talk
ing about the era Of good feeling now
opening in the relations Of the three
great progressive nations in the world.

matist, but in this instance he has

There are many loud and seemingly
just complaints over the indifference
to public safety manifested by the coun-
Gil in neglecung TO remole or otherwise
render passable the slide which rect tntly
occurred in East Astoria The people OF
that vicinity al their own expsnse have
constructed q temporary sidewalk
around the place. but .ha city author
tiles have failed to even so much as
provide a lantern 10 enable those who
are Obliged 90 travel ;he street at
right To avoid its dangers. It is really
remarkable that no serious accident
has occurred. 1t would seem that the
small expense Of maintaining light
might at least be borne by the city
pending the convenience Of the mayor
and council in meeting and providing
the necessary means to properly repair
the street This may turn out to be a
false piece Of economy, from which The
city may have occasion to face a ser
ious law suit in the near future. Is
mayor Bergman dead, or is he only
canvassing?

coNakEss MEETS TOMORROW,

There has been much discussion late
~ in the public press and elsewhere on
the organization Of the new committees
TO take care Of expansion and insu ar
affairs in the FIfty-sixth congresS
which viii begin MS session tomorrow
There Is sure to be a multitude OF
bills introduced for the government OF
our new poss sssiorss, These measures.
perhaps, have more interest for the
people Of the Pacific coast than other
sections Of the country. The trade and
business relations OF the Philippines.
China and Hawaila are necessarily Of
more concern TO this coast than they
are 70 the Atlantic. The beneficial re-
suits Of the war with Spain VIII in
ure much more largely to the people
west Of the Rocky mountains than to
those on the other side of thas grea,
dividing line.
with the exception Of Cuba, which
is not yet a really possession" Of this
country, all that the Atlantic coast
has gained by the war is the compare
lively inconsequential territory OF Por-
10 Rico. We Of the Pacific coast, on
the other hand. have right to reason
THY expect the greatest and most rap
I'd period Of development ever known in
any section, not only Of the United
States but Of the whole world.
With the near completion of the
trans-siberian railroad, and the i'm
mense future trade possibilities Of the
vast region thus opesled up 10 civiliza-
ton. With the prospective open door
TO the trade demands Of the teeIning
millions in China, the battle Of Manila
hay decided an epoch in the destiny Of
the Pacific coast which will be OF far
reaching consequence. The United
states-this coast-stands to realize
more advantages from this coming great
trade expansion than all other nations
and sectors combined. Much will be
expected, therefore, from the coming
session Of congress
Bur II mighJ as well be und arstood
now as later that the Likelihood Of .eg-
islation FOR the settlement Of any Of
the greater questions arising from the
war with Spain and expansion is rx-
ceedingly small.
Some people seem TO have forgotten
that the margin by which the re-
publican party controls the house Of
representatives has narrowed from
about fifty, over all, in the Fifty-hfth
congress to less than ten, over all in
the F1fty-sixth.

WOMAN ROBBED.
A Crook Takes Mrs. Parsons Pocketbook
at Funeral.

Mrs. Abbie Parsons had pocketbook
containing $500 stolen from her yes
terday afternoon as she was leaving
Trinity church at the close of the
funeral services over the remains of
DR.. B. F. Clough
Mrs. Parsons had the pocketbook in
pocket in her dress and is positive
that she had it when she left the pew
in the church. In leaving the church
she mingled with the congregation and
for a few minutes she was crowded.
AS soon as she gained the sidewalk
in front of the church she noticed that
her pocketbook was gone. She re-
ported the matter to the police Inspec-
tor O'Day and Chief brennan listening
to the woman's story with much atten-
ton.
The police are of the opinion that the
work is that of some clever crook who
is an expert at the pocket picking.
Worcester seems to be a stamping
ground for criminals of this sort lately.

ANOTHER SUCCESS

The second recital of the series of
three that are being given this week
by the pupils of Ben T. Hammond, was
held last evening, and as on Tuesday
evening the attendance of invited list
eners was large and fashionable. The
pupils that took part were: John f.
Munroe, tenor of the South Baptist
church, Oreilla Maud wilmington, con-
tralto of the Central Congrega-
tional church of Danielson, Conn; Will
M. Smith; Miss Mary Agnes Ryan, con-
tralto of St. Bernard's church, Fitch
burg; and Albert Bellingham, tenor and
director at the Church of Christ
Each singer was warmly applauded
and deservedly, for the program
throughout was a chain of vocal effort
that deserved more pretentious appel
lation than that of pupils recital
The concluding recital will be held
this evening when the singers will be
Angelo Truda, Peter F. Salmon, Miss
Anna Louise Dunn of Uxbridge, Miss
Nellie Eva Powers of Westboro and
Mrs. Sarah Hilton Stone of Auburn

TOUR OF INSPECTION.

The committee on lighting streets of
the city government, consisting of AL
dermen Kendall and Huot and Council
men Heath, Mutt and Timon, together
with the superintendent of street light
ing, Henry A. Knight, and Clerk Of
Committees w. Henry Towne, went on
a tour of investigation about the city
last evening, leaving the city hall in
carriages at $50 o'clock
The party went directly to the juno
ton of Grove and Salisbury streets,
where the underground conduits are to
begin, and noted the desirable changes
in some Of the arc lights there, as we'll
as on Grove street farther south, at
Lincoln square, and on Main and Tn
ion streets in the vicinity
No action in the matter was taken
by the committee, but it is probable
that they will make recommendations
to the city government later
