He was clean and neatly dressed. He
talked we'll and looked you squarely in
the eyes. When went to the Jail at
his request, I took an immediate liking

GREAT BR1TAIN's FAITH In The ANGLO
AMERICAN ALLIANc:

GREAT BRITAIN's FAITH In The ANGLO
AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
Despite Secretary Hays stump speech
of denial the Tory press of England an;
America speak with great emphasis as
to the existence of a s'cordial under
standing" The American press is ex-
pected to applaud Great Britain's at
tempt to crush the Transvaal out of ex-
istence as an Independent republic and
reduce it to the position of powerless
province. More facts have come to light
as to the Infamous character of Great
Britaiu's purpose. The mines Of the
Transvaal are taxed but two and a half
per cent on their net products, while
American miners in the Klondike have
to pay ten per cent of their gross pro-
duct to the Canadian government; and
are subjected to every species of inso
lent supervision and lndignity at the
hands of the Canadian mounted police
and customs offiials. When James Ham
ilton Lewis, the former Democratic Con-
gresham from Washington, presented
the fifteen million dollar claim of
American miners, whose mines were con-
fscated in British Columbia he was treat
ed at the State Department to an ice
berg like reception. No American claim
against Great Britain will receive a mo-
ment's consideration at the hands of this
Administration, though it had no diff
Guilty in expediting by every means in
its power, the payment of the fictitious
ly inflated claims of the British Column
bia seal pirates whose vessels had been
driven out of the business. The "cordial
relations" exist but they are of the sort
which a whipped puppy exhibits when
he crawls and ticks the heel OF his brutal
master. President Mckinley talks tru-
culently about the "dishonor of hauling
down the American flag in the Phil
plnes'' but the American flag is being
dishonored every day by his unconstitu-
tional and surreptitious alliance with
the Tory government of Great Britain.
There is strong reason to believe
that Mckinley has an understanding
whereby the PHILIPPINES are to be sold or
traded to Great Britain after insurrec-
ton has been suppressed. But the in
surrection is very far from being sup
pressed.
No MORE HOSPITALS AT MANILA.
There is trouble between Surgeon
General Sternberg and Gen. Otis. Gen.
Sternberg declares that the hospitals at
Manila should be Immediately doubled
in capacity to provide for the increased
army. Otis objects, cabling that if the
hospitals are doubled they will be filled
Immediately, and that the only way to
keep his army in the field is to prevent
it's having an opportunity to go on the
sick list. This brutal disregard of COM
mon sense and humanity seems to be &C
cepted by the new Secretary of War, and

into going to the Philippines may be ly.

An Illustration of the ArtfuIness Of
the Modern Girl

the Modern Girl.
"The artfulness of the modern girl, y
remarked woman who was girl years
ago, "passeth understanding. 1 have,
for example, young kinswoman Of 18,
whose mother, knowing that my hus-
band was out of town, invited me to
her house to tea one day. The girl was
80 sweet to me that in the end, though
1 hadn't the slightest idea of doing it
when l set out, asked her to come
home with me and stay the night She
assented-not too eagerly-and as we
walked toward the Car together-she
lives on Capitol HILLSIDE began to talk
OF young Mr.. So-and-so, Commander
So-Rnd-so's son, who was so anxious to
meet me. No woman is too old to be
proof against flattery, 20 expressed an
interest In Mr.. So-and-so and told her
she might bring him to see me some
day.
1t would be nice if he could come
over this evening, wouldn't it?' she said
thoughtfully. agreed that it would.
"You might have sent him note If
you had known, said, for at my age
It isn't too often that young men want
to make my acquaintance.

any other engagement.
I'VE went into the nearest drug

sention to something at the other end of
the store. Central gave her the desired
number-the young mans brother is a

'*Pause.
It's all right about tonight she
said 'Goodby.'

IN The SAMOAN
AGREEMENT
For n Joint High Commission
Has Progressed to an Extreme.
Iy Favorable Point.
THE ONLY DIFFICULT MATTER
Appears to be the Future Status
OF Chief Justice Chambers
and the Consuls.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The sa-
moan agreement for q high commission
has progressed to the point where the
three governments are exchanglngnot
as to the members Of the commission.
This is accepted rs an assurance that
Lord Salisbury accepts not only the
prlclple Of the commission. but the COM
mission itself as the consideration Of the
British delegate would hardly be en-
tered upon unless the commission was
assured. The published report that
three commissioners would be named
from each country Is without founda-
ton as such plan has never been con-
sitered. There will be one from each
country OF about the same relative rank
or standing. 1t Is to insure this similar
ity OF standing that the three govern
ments are mutually discussing the
names of commissioners. the question
being whether they will be military
men. consuls generals, or officials in the
foreign service. Aside from this desire
to secure uniformity there is evidently
some wish not to let any one country
name commissioner who may be per-
sonally Objectionable by reason OF his
previous activity in Samoan disputes.
One point in the negotiations appears
to be open and this may Still occasion
some difficulty. This Is as to the future
status OF Chief Justice Chambers and
consuls Rose, of Germany, Osborne, of
the United States. and Maysc, of Great
Britain. It would be quite acceptable
to Germany II all Of them were with
drawn but when this proposal was made
some time ago 1t was distinctly rejected.
Now, however. the high commission
may have such enlarged powers that In
effect the chief justice and the consuls
will have their authority curtaileI IL
not entirely cut off. In some well in
formed quarters It is said this Is the
real cause OF Lord Salisbury's very ma
ture consideration OF the plan as he Is
believed to be arerse to any project
which even Indirectly viii result in the
retirement Of all the present officials
and the virtual acceptance Of Ger
many's original PROPOSAL that all be
withdrawn.

BERLIN NEGOTIATIONS
Still Going On-Hagglins OH the Ma
jority Rule.

BERLIN, AprIl 5.-The negotiations
between the German minister Of foreign
affairs. Baron Won Buelow, the United
States ambassador, Andrew D. White.
and British ambassador. Sir Frank C.
Lasceles, continue. The representative
of Great Britain still favors the majori-
ty rule within the proposed Samoan in
vestigation commission, Germany wants
unanimlty according to the Berlin act
and the United States acquiesces In the
latter.
Mr. White said 10 the correspondent
here OF the Associated Press: Il believe
England will yield to unanimlty. The
delay In decision is probably due to
Lord Salisbury's absence. AS n COM
promise l suggest that each power up-
point threemembersw with seven to decide.
But this met with small small favor.
Germany thinks that 1t will not be diff
cult to secure unanimity within the
commission II the commissioners are in
structed to be concilatory.
"Ohcial dispatches from Washington
say the American representatives at
Samoa have been instructed to proceed
cautiously and return to the status quo.
All other representations, such as that
the United States and Great Britain
will hold Germany responsible for the
death Of blue jackets during the recent
fight, are basclcss.

Japan is Watching tho Encroach.
ments of the Powers In China with
nJcalous Eye.
VANCOUVER. B. c.. April 5.-Ad-
vices from the Far East brought by the
steamer Empress OF Japan, indicate that
Japan has watched with jealous eye
1taly's recent attempt to get a lease OF
San Nun bay. The Japanese press re-
Gently circulated a report that the Uni
ted States was demanding concessions
also. Marquis Ito, Japan's greatest
Statesman. was interviewed on the
subject, out said he was not much
concerned at the reported American de-
mand, contendlng that nothing need be
fenred, as all countries held the same
rights as far as settlements were con-
cerned. Marquis Ito has, however, been
Chang, and has advised various re-
forms. He says 4 partition OF China
would be inevitable should China per-
slst In her present course OF action. In
the San Nun affair, the Japanese are
saylng that their government must
abandon the hold aloof policy hitherto
adopted. and demand some substantial
grant of land from China.
Z Count Okuma, eN-premier, advises the
government to so conduct itself as to
Induce China to rely solely upon the as
sstance OF Japan for the maintenance
Of independence. The first measure to
be adopted for that purpose is to drill
several hundred soldiers by Japanese
officers and secondly, to encourage the
dispatch OF Chinese students to Japan
for study. II the situation should COM
pei Japan to take q final step. It Will be
absolutely necessary for her to hold
Annoy and the railways between that
place and Hankow. 1t is, however, too
early to consider this phase, which can
only enter into Japan's calculations
when the maintenance OF Chlna's in
tegrity is entirely despalred OF, and
there is no hope OF preventing a parti-
tion.
In the meantime Mr.. Yalo, Japanese
minister at Peking has applied to the
Chinese government for five new settle

progressing SLOWLY PcrCmpt0ry
Challenges Depletc Jury Panel.
CANTON. o., April 5,-Seven men
had passed the examination as to quail
fcatlons yesterday, in the George mur-
der trial. Mrs. George and her friend,
Mrs. Siddlnger. were In their places
when court opened at $50. o'clock this
morning and soon thereafter the exami-
nation Of other Jurors was resumed.
The doors to the public did not open
until 0 O'Clock and the room filled with
rush. A man named Morris, Of Han
overton, who yesterday sat among the
friends OF Mrs. George, came into court
and placed a handsome bouquet in
front of the prisoner, evidently to her
pleasure and delight. NH.
Soon afterwards Mrs. Brown, and
Mrs. st. Clair, sister and aunt Of the
accused respectively, and others from
Hanoverton and Lisbon who were with
Mrs. George Tuesday, took seats within
the bar enclosure.
The fifth man called into the jury
box to-day held his seat The next had
confirmed opinion that barred him
and so had the next. The one who fol-
lowed demanded exemption on the
ground that he had served continuous
ly as member of the fire department
for n period OF fire years. which was al
lowed. The next qualified. The next
had too much knowledge OF the case as
deputy bailiff and too strong an opia-
Ion. The next qualified and the panel
of twelve was full. The period of per-
emptory challenge was at hand. The
state excused man who said he had
formed an opinion. but that 1t would
not prejudice him in the trial. Another
man was called and found to be cou-
sin of SaXton's aunt. but was not ex-
cused on that ground. Then the defense
peremptorily challenged one who had
emphatic views favorable 10 capital
punishment and conviction on circum-
staltial evidence. The noon adjourn
ment occurred with juror under ex-
animation.
The women reached the court house
ahead OF the men at the afternoon ses-
sion and filled more than half Of the
seats In the south section. Several yaung
women stcrographers gained entrance
TO the bar and occupied seats usually
flied. by attorneys. The state exhausted
Its peremptory challenges during the
afternoon session, while the defense
had twelve left. Three jurors We're ac-
cepted. A special venir2 was demanded
by the state and court adjourned until
Tomorrow morning. About twenty-five
men will be called. They will probnblY
be from the city or the immediate vi
cinity to avoid long travel In getting
service and are likely to get pretty gen.
eral opinions Of the case by reason OF
much discussion. Many may disqual-
ity and as the defense still has the right
to remove twelve 1t would be no sur
prise II the next veH!re was exhausted
and the jury not completed tomorrow.
