Houston, Texas, July 29.-The Post
prints an interview with Hon. j. w.
Bailey, in which he says:
"I am fully persuaded that the ma
tional administration has entered into
a full and complete agreement for an
alliance between Great Britain and the
United States. The alliance, in my
opinion, is to be both offensive and
defensive. 1 think the reason it has
not been published to the world is that
for political reasons the President is
afraid to do so. Many things tend to
create this impression on my mind.

"On the train were J. Addison Por-
ter, private secretary Of President Nc
Kinley, and the correspondent Of the
London Times, Mr.. Henry Norman.
The distinguished Norman was Mr.,
Porter's guest. The conversation
turned on the Anglo-Saxon alliance,
which was then being generally dis
cussed.
"Messrs, Porter and Norman favored
it. l opposed their views with some
vigor. Finally Mr.. Norman asked me
why didn't favor such an alliance. 1
turned to him and remarked: Mr..
Norman, I am OF Irish lineage and
proud OF it. will never consent to an
alliance between England and this
Union of ours until Great Britain be-
comes republic and elects an Irish
man president

to be laid is the fact that Henry Nor
man is an educated and cultured man,
and was the guest of the presidents

Mckinley been In favor of the alliance
Mr.. Porter would not have favored it,

Washington, July 29.-Rather sensa-
tional incidents promise to mark the
close of the administration of Secre-
tary Alger. The latest differences that
have arisen are between Secretary AL
ger and Acting Commissary General
Weston. The trouble is on account of
the so-called emergency rations. Wes-
ton did not like it, but Secretary Alger
took a great personal interest in it and
instructed that 25, 900 of them should be
ordered. This order was given some
time ago, but no delivery has yet been
made. Now in the last day Of his ad-
ministration Secretary Alger ordered
an additional 100000 of the emergency
rations. Weston has not complied
with the order, but on some pretext or
other, has succeeded in putting it off.
The first act of Elihu Root will prob
ably be to rule on the commissary gen.
erals protest, and either sustain or
overrule his predecessors.

MACHINERY OF LAW
Likely to be Set In Motion to
Apprehend Missing
Attorney.

The law firm of Miller & Pomerene
today received check from Kiefer g.
Coon, of Philadelphia, for the amount
of the judgment obtained against them
by the assignee Of the Robinson estate
OF Canal Fulton. The first check, it
will be remembered was sent to Attor-
ney A. j. Kittinger, of Canal Fulton,
whom it is alleged, disposed of the
money and recently left his home for
parts unknown. The money has there
fore been paid twice. Attorney Pom
creme would not say whether an effort
would be made to locate Kittinger, but
1t was learned from other sources that
the machinery of law would be set in
motion at an early date.

SEVERAL CASES SETTLED
After the Courts Had Looked Into Them.
What Is Going on With the
Township Justices of
the Peace.

Justice courts are grinding out con-
siderable business. The usual early
summer forcible detainer rush is about
over but there are other grievances
which must be settled in other ways
than personal conflict and the up-to-
date justice Of the peace is the fellow to
help matters along and pour oil on the
troubled waters. Squire Reigner has
about recovered from his recent illness
and is doing business at the old stand

Justice Bowman and "Straighty"
Woolf keep the wheels moving on their

considerable share of criminal cases
are being disposed of in the justice
courts.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
John Hosler was arrested by Consta-
BILE Wielandt Thursday afternoon on a
warrant sworn to by August F. Balmat
in which Hosler was charged with as
sault and battery. When arraigned
before Squire Calmelat Hosier pleaded
guilty and was fined 81 and costs.
EVENED THE SCORE.
John L. Lintner was arrested Thurs
day afternoon by Constable Woolf on a
warrant issued by Justice Bowman
charging Lintner with assault and bat
terry. The affidavit was filed by George
Gable whom Lintner had caused to be
arrested Wednesday. Lintner when
arraigned pleaded not guilty and gave
bond for his appearance for trial Sat
urday at 8 a, m. The trouble occurred
at Elbel & Co.'s shops where both are
employees.
BEFORE REIGNER.
Louis Rudner, 7 years of age, was
brought before Justice Reigner Friday
morning on warrant sworn out by
Dora Amerman, charging the boy with
assault and battery. Constable Henry
arrived with the warrant and expected
to meet burly six-footer, and was
somewhat startled when mere child
was turned over to him as the heavy
weight villain in the case. Justice
Reigner, after investigating the mat
ter, decided that it was but children's
quarrel and dismissed the case.

New York, July 29.-The Herald
this morning in Triest dispatch gives
an interview held by its correspondents
with Admiral Dewey, in which the ad,
miral prophecies that our next war
will be with Germany. He said: "We
need large and thoroughly equipped
navy that can cope with any other power
England is our natural ally. Our next
war will be with Germany" Speaking
of Admiral Diederichs, Dewey said:
"He was relieved from his Manila post
in accordance with arrangements OF
long standing and because his time was
up, not as concession made out of
friendliness to the American govern
ment."
NOT BELIEVED.
Washington, July 29.-Secretary
Long does not believe that Admiral
Dewey made the remark attributed to
him at Trieste that our next war would
be with Germany, or that he had said
anything that could be so construed.
The department will certainly take no
notice of the report, at any rate Admi-
raj Dewey's closest friend in the navy
department declare that it is insulting
to the admiral's intelligence to put
such statements in his mouth.

In the days of Sir Henry's youth the
university of Glasgow was leading in
stitution, and near enough to dominate
the views of Sir Henry's parents, and
to Glasgow was the possible liberal
leader sent to be a collegian. Later he
turned to Trinity, Cambridge, and came
out bachelor ls5S), and afterward
QS6D master. In 1872 he assumed
the surname of Bannerman, because of
the provisions of an uncle's will-Henry
Bannerman, of Kent. Very early in life
young Campbell Zimmerman was drawn
into politics. In 1868 he was elected to
parliament as the representative of the
liberal interest in the Stirling district.
From 1871 to 1874 he was the financial
secretary of the war office, and was
again appointed to that Office in 1880.
In 1882 Sir Henry became secretary to
the admiralty.
Sir Henry was always man whom
the leader of the liberals regarded with
favor, if not with partially. In 1SS4-5
he was given the important position of
chief secretary for Ireland, and in
was intrusted with the portfolio of sec
rotary of state for war. This same posi-
ton was given him in the Gladstone
ministry of 1892.
1t is probable that Sir Henry as q
man is more potent than Sir Henry as
politician. BY no means strong in de-
bate. and by no means able as an orator,
he is yet powerful factor in the house.
Beside the great dead premier, either aa
orator, debater or writer, Sir Henry
pales. Yet in his small included sphere
he is possibly even more attractive than
was Gladstone. While he will never
be worshiped as a hero, he will always
be priced as personal friend. In this
fact, perhaps, lies his great strength.
His age and consequent experience of
the ways and words Of men give him a
tremendous advantage over his more
brilliant. more highly bred and more
oratorical young rival, Grey. The lat
ter, an aristocrat in birth if not in
opinion, is evidently doomed to wait
for honors, which will come later
Gladstone himself was certainly de-
lighted with the acquisition of such a
notable recruit as Grey, and might pos
sibly have chosen him as his successor
but when men are dead their influence
is not always permanent. Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman will bring to his
office at least an experience and ma.
turity that will not be stumbling
block to the liberals, whatever else
they may be.
Sir Henry has been exceptionally for
tunate in his domestic affairs. His
wife is the daughter of the late Sill
Charles Bruce, major general in the
royal army.

+ LADSTONE'S PLACE. IN yERY BAD TASTE
1t May Be Given to Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman.
Not a Great Man, But Safe Leader
Ills Elevation Would Give New
Strength and vigor to the
Liberal Party.

Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman has
recently risen as the particular star of
the liberal party in England. Specula-
ton, which has been rife of late upon
the probable leader of the liberals,
seems to have selected this Stirling
Burghs representative as the fittest
man to take the place of the great Glad
stone and of the more recent Vernon
Harcourt. Successors always, at least
in the beginning, labor under painful
disadvantage, for they are Invariably
compared with the originals. But it
not infrequently happens that pupil
exceeds his master, and there is prece-
dent in British history for the new
conner who eclipses the man whose
place he takes.
Unfortunately, this happy fate does
not seem to be reserved for Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, as it might be
reserved for Sir Edward Grey. The lat
ter is young; the former is old. Old
men are seldom originals. Sir Henry is
63; Sir Edward is 80. The latter is an
aristocrat, descended from the very
best and noblest Norman blood in the.
kingdom. The former is democrat,
and comedies nothing to his traditions
when he becomes the liberal. The only
question that suggests itself is: Is Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman the man
to take Gladstone's place and is he
young enough to improve upon the
grand old man."
Sir Henry is the second son of the
late Sir James Campbell, Of stracathro,
Forfarshire, by Janet, the youngest
daughter of the late Henry Bannerman,
of Manchester. He was born in 1886.

Canada's Postage Stamp Is criti-
cised Severely.
Imperialists In the Dominion ms Well
az In England object to the
vainglorious Motto ON Mr..
Mulock's Creation.

William Mulock, Canada's postmas-
ter general, has brought much unfavor-
able criticism upon his head on account
of the remarkable design which he Sc
lected for the Canadian imperial penny
stamp, which first came into official use
on Christmas day. The tory or anti
Laurier press of the dominion refers to
the stamp as Willie Mulock's Christ
mas card" and gets it's cue from the
fact that the word Xmas" and
year 1888" are found directly under
map showing the British empire in
bright red-appearing in black on the
accompanying picture of the stamp.
But it is not in Canada alone that OBJ.
jections to the stamp are heard. The
news that the words: eve hold a
vaster empire than has been,' also ap-
pear at the bottom of Postmaster Cen
eral Mufock's artistic gem has travelled
to England, with the result that inn
perialists there are chorusing their OBJ
jections to the imperial-minded states
mans idea of what colonial postage
stamp should contain in the form of q
sentiment.
The motto chosen by Mr.. Mulock:
eve hold vaster empire than has
been," is from the jubilee ode of Sir
Lewis Morris, entitled a Song of En-
pire," with the date. June 20, 1897, as a
subtitle, indicating its tone and purpose.
An excerpt from the last stanza, from
which the motto was taken, is as fol-
lows:
We love not war. but only peace,
Yet never shall our Englands power de-
crease!
Whoever guides our helm of state
Let all men know it. England shall be
great!
We hold vaster empire than has been!
Nigh half the race of man is subject to our
queen!
Nigh half the wide, wide earth is ours in
fee!
And where her rule comes all are free.
And therefore it's, o, queen, that we,
Knit fast in bonds of temperate liberty,
Rejoice to-day, and make our solemn ju-
bilee!

that Canada does not hold this vast
empire, though it may be part of one.
One paper has it that the adaptation of
the motto seems to be somewhat after
the manner of Esop's frog, who would
be thought as big as an OK. but who un-
fortunately burst just as he was admir-
ing his proportions. 1t is, in fact, de-
manded in some quarters that the en-
tire issue be recalled. thus puncturing
Mr.. Mulock's creation.
No less parsonage than the British
admiral, Algernon de Horsey, has
rushed into print to give expression to
letter to the London Daily Graphic,
dated Cowes, England, Admiral de Hor-
sey says:
read in the Daily Graphic of this day
report that the Canadian imperial penny
stamp is to be inscribed with the words:
1--WE hold a vaster empire than has been"
If a man We're to adorn his hat with the
motto: II have vaster estate than any
one else" passers-by would both ridicule
him and be inclined to knock his hat OF.
| If not his head.
! Similarly the proposed inscription on the
penny stamp will only excite the dislike
| and ridicule of other nations.
| Doubtless the Daily Graphic is largely
| read in Canada. Pray use your influence
] to stop such silly braggadocio, and to in
duce the authorities to substitute the SIM
pie but grand words: British Empire"
If the postal department in Canada has
already printed these stamps with the vain
glorious motto. may humbly suggest their
obliteration and subsequent sale at (say)
half crown apiece to stamp collectors,
who would quickly buy them up as monu-
lnents of bad taSte-so far as the motto is
concerned.
