FACTS ABOUT THAT
BRITISH ALLIANCE"
Investigation by Father Malone,
the American Priest.
Lord SaIisbury's Diplomatic Plans

Policy Our Course Regarding
China Tells the Story.

Rev. Thomas H. Malone of Denver
writes from London his Information and
opinion on the relations between the
United States and Great Britain. The
letter is the more significant because four
years ago Father Malone's sympalhies
were strongly with the free silver cause
and his influence was cast on the side or
Bryan, Eor some time this widely known
priest has been abroad and his facilities
for judging OF what are the actual feia-
tons between the two governments have
been exceptionally good. The letter is
addressed to Mr.. II. c. Kerens, the Mis-
souri, member Of the Republican national
committee Father Malone writes
mir. McK;nley's attitude during to
present crisis in China must be sorel9

Of the presidency He told how the rail-
roads. the banks and the bondholders, ar
rayed against Bryan with campaign
fund the like Of which was never before
seen in this country, and which was used
layshly. Business men were intimidat-
ed by the threats Of the money power.
The Senator said, with great pride be
would never forget the liberal responses
from the people of Arkansas to the Dem
oeratic campaign fund.
Predicting that the Republican party
would drop the idea OF the gold standard

the Senator said .'the McKinleyites saw
the handwriting Oh the wall.
What has become Of the promised
prosperity?'' the Senator asked
MIR Mckinley seems TO be adyanc-
ing, but the prosperity is not coming
with him. Senator Jones said ''t"" gold
ties had been put on notice" 9 believ-
ed shat in 1900 the bimetallic forces
would win great victory. Rising prices
always bring prosperity, declining prices
adversely. The repeal of the sherman
act had been followed by a decline of 10
per cent in prices. The cause of it was
the striking down of one-haf of the
metallic money Of the world" Senator
Jones concluded by asserting his belief
that the principles he spoke for were
absolutely essential to the welfare of the
country"
In the midst of the ennnciation Of such
views as these the Senator accounted for
the election of the Republican ticket by
declaring:
"HUNDERDS OF THOUSANDS OF

person or party breaches one thing and

being deceived as to his honesty. Foor
years age when Mr.. Bryan capture the
Chicago convention by his eloquent cross

of silver, there was plenty of room for
doubling the soundn, IS or even the sanity
Of his proposition, but it was difficult 10
question his sincerity or the sincerity of
the party which nominated him. How

Cownrlico OF sharks.

Many tales have been told Of how
human beings have been devoured by
the fish that is known as the imam
eater" Although many of these have
been greatly exaggerated, they are to
certain extent true. 1t is also true
that sharks have been known to follow
ship for days. picking up and eating
that which had been thrown overheard
as waste.
Notwithstanding all this the coward
liness Of sharks is well known among
men who have been much to sea in
southern waters. The fiercest shark
will get out of the way Of q swimmer
If the latter sets up a noisy splashing.
\ shark fears anything that splashes
in the water Among the south sea Is
lands the natives never go bathing
alone, but always in parties of half
dozen or so, In order that they may
make a great hubbub in the water and
thus brighten away the sharks Once
in awhile a too venturesome swimmer
among these natives foolishly detachcs
himself from his party and forgets to
keep up his splashing Then there is a
swish, and the man eater comes up
from under him like a fash, and he is
gone.

the big cat edged itself between the

springing.
Many men among the audience, used
to the ways of Wild beasts, saw and

Curing Glover For Poultry,


Clover seems to be the plant that
poultry delight most to indulge in. 1t
contains elements for the growth of
bone, feathers and muscle in young
stock, and production of eggs with
hens. 1t is excellent for hens during
molting, making them more able to
stand the strain on their system. Care
and attention should be given to the
curing of clover; too much exposure
to the sun should be avoided. The
object in view is to keep the leaf green
and in its natural state as long as
possible. Glover or clover rowen
should be cut when just beginning to
bloom, or just before this time, when
there is a profusion of tender, green
leaves. In curing the clover, | would
put it up in piles or good sized punches,
and allow it to so through a curing or
sweating process, opening it a little
each day, and turning the whole pile
completely over, so as to dry the bot

ground. | would cover at night and
