This is choice collection of patriotic
pieces gathered together from different
sources. making a volume of rare in
terest and value. The book includes
the best things said or written about
our country by a long line of authors,
poets, patriots, and statesmen from
the colonial period TO the present time.
While we are teaching the three RS
in our schools, we should not forget to
teach lessons of patriotism and devot-
ion to duty; and this is good text
book for the purpose, as nothing can
inspire in the hearts of the young such
patriotic sentiments as these and SINH
lar selections which should be read,
re-read, and committed to memory in
every school in the land. We are glad
to see such book published and hope
it will be largely introduced in our
schools.

SURE OF FRENCH AID.
President Loubet, It Ia Said, Has Assured
ex-Presldent Kruger That the Trans-
vaal Cause IL Ju<t.

Paris, Nov. 27.-In direct opposition
to his cabinet President Loubet mas
espoused Kruger's cause by an official
reception to the latter at the Elysee,
and by a prompt return of the visit he
has set an example to Europe. While
secrecy is maintained concerning w at
passed between the two presidents, it
is ascertained that Kruger appealed
to Loubet in strong terms in favor
of Intervention, urging the justice
and right of his cause. Loubet ex-
pressed deep sympathy and intim;: ted
that he would use his influence to aid
Kruger's cause. Kruger grows more
determined in his mission. Ills
definite plans are bold and contem-
plate after his arrival at The Has ue
the address of a note to the pow. rs
| asking Intervention toward means of
arbitration based on article 3 of
the peace conference. Kruger's first
plan is to demand entire independence,
but if forced he would modify the
demand by asking autonomy with a
representation in parliament, although
now he energetically declares that in
the matter of independence he wants
all or nothing.

WEEKLY REVIEW. or TRADE.

Consumption Observation-Disclosures

New York, Nov. 24.-R. G. Dun &c
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
With reasonable promptness bdsi-
ness is recovering both activity and
tone and, fortunately, without the
sharp rise in general prices which was
seen in the spring and which vas fol-e
lowed by sudden and serious transit
ton to a more natural range. Recital
of conditions in the iron and steel
market has become a monotonous
repetition. Each week there is the
same record of activity so generally
distributed that everything, from the
raw material to the finished product,
enjoys a share
Undaunted by recent reverses,
spectators in cotton advanced the
price about $35 bale in ten days.
Receipts have been of moderate vol
Nme, but the size of the current crop
cannot be approximated by any ortii-
nary system of averages this year,
awing to the ample funds IN the
hands of planters, enabling them to
hold back much Of their crop. Esti-
mates have fallen below 10000, 900
bales because of the slow movement,
and this fact. together with last
months record breaking value OF ex-
ports, forms the basis Of present
prices. October shipments are un-
likely to be equa1ed again while sales
of next September's options at nine
cents do not take into account plans
for a large increase in acreage next
year. Consumption decreases on ac-
count of the high price, northern spin
ners having taken 10000 bales less
than last year to date, while British
exports of cotton cloths in October
were IS per cent less than in 1899, AID
Of cotton goods 80 per cent. smaller.
Failures for the week were 23S in
the United States, against 191 last
year.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Developments
in the Chinese situation show that
Japan's decision will determine
whether the vengeance policy of Ger
many shall be adopted or rejected.
Her vote cast in favor Of policy of
moderation will, in the opinion Of the
state department officials, have an I'M
Portant bearing upon the prompt set
Element of the Chinese question.
Great Britain, Germany, Austria
and Italy are united in support of the
presentation to the Chinese commits
sioners of a demand for the imposi-
ton of a severe punishment upon the
responsible authors of the recent out
RACES. The United States, Russia and
France are opposed to demanding
more than the Chinese government
can reasonably accomplish. Japan's
course in China has been such as to
convince the authorities that her in
terests require the integrity rather
than the partition of the empire, and
that she understands the unwisdom
of asking the Chinese government to
make concessions which would at orce
develop it's weakness and precipitate
renewed strife.
In view of this attitude, the officials
are inclined to believe that in answer
to the note of Mr.. Hay the Toxic gov
eminent will, in addition to the in
formal assurance already given, for
mally announce her support of pol
icy of moderation. If this belief
should be confirmed by future events,
Great Britain and Germany and their
smaller allies, whose influence is prac-
tically nil in the present negotiations,
will find themselves confronted by
the United States, Russia, France and
Japan and the result will undoubtedly
be a backdown on the part of her
majesty's government and the German
emperor.
A diplomat of high standing said
that Mr.. Hays note had already had
the desired effect. It has once more
shown Europe that the United States
proposes to obtain renewed assurances
in line with those already given and to
hold the powers to their promises. 1t
has been reported that Mr.. Hay in
his note conveyed statement of the
instructions sent to Mr.. Conger, in
which the United States minister was
directed to consult with his colleagues
and urge them to adopt a reasonable
demand upon China.

ton of John w. Gates and others for
the appointment of a receiver for rhe
GuardianTrust company was filed in
the United States circuit court Mon
day. Judge Amos Thayer reserved
his decision. It is alleged in the af-

that the Guardian Trust company is

used to promote the Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient railway and that
John W. Gates and his associa .es
were induced to invest $1.000.0 900 in
the company through the misrepre-

President Stilwen and other officers
of the company say that its affairs
are in excellent condition and deny

IS asserted by Mr.. Stilwen that tine

Capt. Ahern Says One-Half the Area nj the
Philippine Islands II Covered with
Luxurtane F0rssts.

Washington, Nov. 27-The division
of customs and insular affairs of the
war department. has made public q
summary of the first report of the
Philippine bureau of forestry. The
director, Capt. Ahern, estimates the
total number of tree species in the ar
chipelago at nearly 500. Capt. Ahern
states that the public forest lands
comprise from one-fourth to possibly
one-half of the area of the Philippine
islands, or from 100000 to 100000
600 acres. There are fully 100000
acres Of virgin forests owned by the
state in the islands of Mindoro and
Paragua. The island of Mindanao,
with an area of some O,000, 900 acres,
is almost entirely covered with tim
Der, and even in the province of Caga-
yam, in Luzon, there are more than
2,0OO, 900 acres of forest.
Capt. Ahern mentions tracts of vir-
gin forests to be seen on the southern
islands, where from 10000 to 10000
cubic feet of magnificent timber per
acre was standing with trees more
than $50 feet in height, the trunks
clear of branches for 60 feet, and more
than four feet in diameter. He states
that in these forests there are millions
of cubic feet of timber which should
be cut out in order to thin this dense
growth, so that the maximum annual
growth could be obtained. There is
large variety of valuable gum, rub
Der, and gutta percha trees. II dye

GREAT FoR IRR,oArIoN.


Chicago, Nov. 27.-Delegates to the
ninth annual convention of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress- which
closed here last Saturday, unanimous
ly declared that greater interest in
the irrigation of the arid lands of
the United States had been aroused
by this convention than any previous
ly held. It has placed before the peo-
pie of the whole United States the
Importance of the problem of national
irrigation, and has particularly
brought it to the attention Of the
people of the east in manner not
otherwise possible. So much good
of the policy by the national govern
ment and result in SO many different
ways, that people who have no inter-
est in irrigation itself are being at
tracted to the idea
It would accomplish the colonial
ton Of the west and the creation of
a great market for manufacturing;
it would result in the employment of
labor. the development of mining, in
assistance to navigation, in the pre-
vention of floods and in relief for the
congested condition of our cities in
supplying material for thousands of
small rural homes.
The great political parties of the
country in their platforms in the last
campaign both endorsed it and hence
the movement is in no sense partisan
or political. It rises to the highest
and the purest patriotism, and the
motto of the movement, "save the
forests and store the foods" is one
which can be subscribed to by every
citizen of the United States, east and
west. The great stimulation of bust
ness and production incident to rhe
colonization of the middle west, where
men went out and took up from 160
to $40 acres each and made homes for
themselves, would be small compared
to what would occur if 100000
acres of arid land, which would be in
|exhaustibly fertile, is. given water
and divided up into 10 and 20 acre
highly cultivated farms. These facts,
the Chicago Irrigation congress has
presented to the people of the east,
and they are studying them.
