Presidents Day
At the Woman's Club

presidents Day" will be observed to-
morrow afternoon at 8 o'clock at the Wo-
mans club. The occasion will be quite
happy one, for in addition to the afternoon
being especially set aside as PRESIDENTS
Day. the exercises will take place in the
new quarters of the club which adjoin the
Commercial club. The Woman's club has
hitherto leased the rooms in the third story
of the building occupied by the Commercial
club. The new quarters have been re-
papered and thoroughly renovated and are
as attractive as any club could wish for,
while 1t patiently waits for the woman's
building.
Mrs. Erwin Craighead, who is in the city,
has been invited to speak at the meeting
tomorrow and 1t is hoped that the club
members will have an opportunity of hear
ing the distinguished president of the Ala
bama federation.
Tea will be served In the cosy apartment
opening from the assembly room and there
promises to be a large attendance of MEM
bers, all of whom will be called upon to do
the honors on Presidents Day.

AGREES TO ARBITRATE
Guatemala Will Settle the May Claim
That Way.

New York. November "a special to the
Herald from Washington says:
| ,"Guatemala has agreed to al'oitrate the
r. h May claim, according to a dispatch
received by Secretary Hay from Minister
Hunter.
\ l'tGuatemala has denied Mays right to an
) indemnity, but has expressed her willing
! ness to sumlbtt all disputed points to arbi-
I tta1ion, with instructions ITO determine If
: the right to damages exists, and if SO the
Iamount which should be awarded.
1 1.-The claim of Mr. May is the result of
his dispossession by Guatemalan govern
ment of his right in the Guatemalan North
ern railroad. Mr. May had been commits
stoned by contract entered into early in
1898 to operate the road from April 1898,
to April 1899. He was to pay the govern
ment a royalty from the revenues. The
Guatemalan government showed DISPOSE
ton to interfere with the management of
the road, and finally, in October of last
year, cancelled the contract, paying Mr..
May 100000. This sum ne did not consider
sufficient, and The filed the claim which is
to be now arbitrated."

BRADFORD SENDS
IN HIS REPORT
Suggests Urgent Need of Ade-
quate CoaIing Stations.
SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL
The Admiral Says That if Fleet Was
Obliged to Act at Any Point Across
the Atlantic 1t Would Meet
With Difficulties.
SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL

Washington, November 9.-The urgent
necessity of adequate coaling stations for
our war ships is dweh upon by Rear Ad-
miral Bradford, chief of the naval bureau
of equipment in his report to the secretary
of the navy. He relates the difficulties en-
countered during the war with Spain in
securing coal, transporting it and getting
dt aboard the ships.
While these efforts were successful, the
admiral says: ''It was due almost entirely
to the proximity of the theater of war
to our own coast"
Admiral Bradford says that If a United
States fleet is called upon to act at any
point across the Atlantic 1t must encounter
even greater difficulties than was found by
Admiral Cervera.
"As matter of fact" continued Admir-
al Bradford, sit may be stated without
fear of contradiction that at present it
would be impossible for a United States
fleet to carry on active operations during
a war anywhere about the coast of Europe,
Africa, large portion of Asia and South
America for want of coal.
This country has assumed position of
great responsibility in connection with
maintenance of the sovereignty of the terri
tory of the South American republics
against any aggression on the part of a
European nation, yet there is not single
port where coal or supplies may be obtained
in time of war by United States ship
anywhere ON the eastern or western coast
of South America. In the West Indies and
the Pacific ocean we are now somewhat
better off. 1t is of paramount Importance,
however, to establish coal depot on each
side of the Isthmus of Panama near the
terminal of the Isthmus canal"
The report says under strategic positions
"a coaing station should be established
near the Yucatan Passage, the Windward
Passage, Mona Passage and Virgin Pass
age, all being important strategic locations
The Importance of a coaling station on each
side of the Isthmus of Panama cannot be
over-estimated. Guam, it is stated, proba-
bly, will in the near future be cable sta
tion and II is proposed to store 10000 tons
of coal there"
In the survey of the Pacific cable route
two huge obstacles were encount tered, one
q submarine mountain lying between the
Midway islands and GUAM the second, the
deepest submarine abyss yet found in the
world, about 500 miles east of Guam, and
sinking more than 1900 fathoms. The
soundings from Honolulu to Luzon have
shown the route to be entirely practicable
A branch will be run from Guam 10 Japan"

essarily to intervene between the moment
when war was declared and the moment
when our forces could accept contest and
appear upon the field.
Complim ents of Nations
'"That interval has nearly passed. Our
troops are beginning to advance. Many
foreign nation have complimented US upon
the calmness with which we have received
the intelligence of occasional checks.
Whatever strategy there might be we are
we'll aware that the conflict with the Beers
must be marked by retirement of our
troops from positions they are not strong
enough to occupy.
II go further. England as whole would
have no advantage of the possession of
gold Mines except as her government con-
ferred the blessings of good administration
upon those engaged in the industry. All
successful industry breeds commerce, and
all commerce has produced is to the adj
vantage of England all industries and
commerce flourish better under her good
government than any other regime in the
world. But that is the limit of our inter
est.
I'm the first place because we would not
accept Interference and in the second place,
because we are convinced there Is no such
idea in the mind of any government in the
world.
''Within my recollection there have been
some five six great wars involving in
their close, great territorial notifications,
but except as provided for by treaties and
except in the case of treaties in none of
these wars has third party yentured be-
tween the combatants. In none of these
wars has any nation claimed a right to de-
termine what the issue of the contest or
its terms should be. They have not claimed
that right because they cannot. 1t Is not
in accordance with international law that
they should possess it, Therefore such
dreams should be set aside"
Lord Salisbury resumed his seat amid a
tremendous ovation.
