required to await the cessation of hos
tilities, but may start homeward at
once.
The notice posted at the navy de-
partment indicates that the Olympia
will not remain long enough to receive
the next outward mail. The Is. Is.

navy departments agent at London to

SENATOR MASON AT HORTON.
Delivers an Address In Opposition to
Expansion.

Expansion.
HORTON, Kan, May 13-At the COM
mencement of the Horton high school
Senator Mason of Illinois delivered a
strong political speech against expan-
sion. He said that war had never been
declared against the Filipinos; that
power rested solely with Congress. He
stated that the government was trying
to shoot liberty into the Filipinos the
same as King George attempted to
shoot his liberty into the Americans
with hired Hessians. The Filipinos,
he said, must DO either citizens or
slaves; there was no middle ground,
and to making them slaves the liberty
loving people of this country would
never give their consent The sub
stance of the speech was q COMPARE
son of the rebellion of the Filipinos
with the Americans in their struggle
for independence. He declared that
all the islands of the archipelago are
not worth the life of one of our brave
American boys.

A Woman Sculptor.

One young woman who deserves to
be envied by the dangerously lazy
type of summer girl is Miss Enid Yam
dell of Kentucky.
Miss Yandell has just received a
commission, to execute her design for a
fountain at Providence and has gone
abroad for that purpose. The group
of figures represents "The Struggle of
Life" and is said to be remarkably fine.
This is the young woman, by the
way, who executed the heroic figure of
Daniel Boone, which was in the Ken
lucky building at the Worlds fair. 1t
is also interesting to know she is one
Of three women who received design
ers' medals from the Worlds fair di-
rectors.
There are but three women sculptors
who are members of the National
Sculpture society, and Miss Yandell is
one of them. The other two are Mrs.
III. II. Kitson of Boston and Miss Bes-
sic Potter of Chicago.
