The AngIo-Germnn agreement.

While we are inclined to think that Mr.
Mckinley Will do well promptly to give his
adhesion to the terms of the Anglo Ger
in taking such action he will be executing
another in long and amusing series OF
diplomatic nops. One has only to note the
resentment with which this latest devel-
| opment has been received in ST. Peters
burg and Paris, TO realize the gulf which

face, and not to acknowledge a blunder
which earned US the jeers and gibes of
Europe-he has stuck to the Russo French
interest and thereby offended the only
powers who by any chance could be ex-
pected to agree TO the open door policy.
Now that they have Joined hands and to-
gether have the strength to force their
views upon the rest of the world, Mr.. Nc
kinley will have no option in the .rnatter.

Georgin's Executive Recommends
Limitation of Negro Suffrage.

ATLANTA, Ca. Oct. Ex-Governor Cand-
| Ter. in his message to the Legislature to-
day. makes recommendations as follows:
II recommend that an amendment OF the
constitution be submitted to the people to
authorize the Governor by executive order
to change the venue in all criminal cases
when in his judgment, or that OF the judge
Of the Superior Court of the county in
which the crime is alleged to have been
committed. it is necessary to protect the
prisoner from violence and secure the or
de-ly enforcement CT the law.
Il recommend that the law be SO amend
ed as to fix the State school fund at
81. 100000 a year, to be distributed among
the counties as now provided by law. but
that the amount apportioned to no county
shall be available until that county shall
have raised by taxation, upon the taxa
BILE property within its own borders. an
amount not less than 40 per cent of it's
share of the State school fund.
Il earnestly advise this General Assem-
bly, to enact some law which will compel
the tax dodger TO bear his just share of
the burdens government.
The time Las come when the State
should provide home for those old.
decrepit and WORKOUT Confederate soldiers
who are homeless and friendless and IN
able to work for themselves.
Il earnestly recommend that the Gov
ernor be authorized to employ at an an
nual salary of not exceeding s2.c0O some
fit and proper person 10 compile and SUI
perintend the publication of all unpub-
Hshed manuscripts, books. and papers yet
available. bearing on the States colonial
and revolutionary period. and on her part
in the war of secession.
Il recommend the passage of an act
which will. Independently of instituting
criminal proceedings, secure the utmost
good faith in the making of pauper oaths
Such an act should be so framed as to
fully protect these who are really poor
and at the same time prevent perjurers
from litigating in the Supreme Court at
the expense of the State: and in the trial
courts at the expense of their fellow citi-
zens.
In the interest of good government and
in the interest Of the negro race l recon-
mend an amendment to the Constit
providing for qualification of the suffrage
based on an educational or property
or both.
Il recommend that no appropriation be
made for the military for the year 1901.
hut that $4,000 be appropriated for the

AFFAIRS IN GUAM.
Secretary of the Navy Re-
ceiyca n Letter From the Island.

, In letter to the Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy on September 81, the Governor
| of Guam reports that nothing CT special
| interest has transpired in the adninist. a
tion of this island since his last report.
The general order relating to naval hes
pitfalls appears to have already produced
desirable effect and result. Early in Au-
gust committee was appointed. consist
ing OF two commissioned officers OF The
navy and the Treasurer Of Guam. to eN-
anime into ard report on the existing
laws, regulations. and customs relating
to fees of all kinds, such as civil ard
criminal court fees, fees for licenses,
passports. judges certificates. etc, with
view to possibly amending and codify-
ing the laws. and simplifying the modes
OF procedure. The report Of this board
Will soon be complete. II appears quite
possible that in some classes the use Of
the revenue stamp may prove a con.
venient method of imposing a tax upon
documents. in lieu of the present system
of collecting fee in money.
In regard to the naval station, the
health of the command remains good.
The erection of the ice plant progresses
satisfactorily.
During the recent bad weather, which
lasted two weeks, several sailing craft in
the harbor were in more or less danger

THE CUBAN CONSTITUTION.
Delegates Rcticent About Their
Course mt the Convention.

1
| Course mt the Convention.
| HAVANA. Oct 25.-The delegates to the
constitutional convention have been very
quiet regarding the course they intend to
pursue. but they are now beginning to
| show more interest in the affairs Of the
convention. The National party is making
arrangements for holding preliminary
meeting and the Republicans talk Of doing
likewise.
The "Diario de la Marina recently ac-
cused the revolutionary press OF strange
indifference to the convention. The Pa
tria.' revolutionary organ. explains this.
saying that a majority Of the delegates
have agreed upon fundamental principles
and that there is therefore no need to talk.
Nearly all OF the delegates say 1t Is i'm
possible to state how the convention VIII
behave. Some even do not wish to vouch
for their own conduct. Manuel SanguiiIy.
for example. says that he goes with an
open mind to do what ought to be done,
but that he can express nothing positive
until he has talked matters over with tho
other delegates.
The "Lucha'' anticipates that there will
be lively time at the convention. 1t says
that Gualberto Gomez and Manuel San
gully will attempt to dominate the con-
assembly which deposed Gen. Maxine Co
mez The paper reminds the Jacobins that
the United States will not allow more than
certain amount of Jacobinism. as they
have guaranteed property rights in the
island.
1t adds that the United States did not
expel Spain from Cuba In order to hand
the island over to number Of self-seeking
Jacobins. The paper further says 1t is
true the conservative element is not rep
to the assurances given the Conservatives.
States would not abandon their island to
the Radicals. The delegates from Santiago
are expected to arrive here Sunday.
The National party is much enraged by
the action of the board of canvassers In
the counting out of many votes cast for
their candidates. On the other hand, it
Is claimed, the Nationals have been paid
in their own coin because they. In order
to secure a majority Of the delegates. un-
fairly used the advantage they had owing
to their having control OF the government.
All the Cuban members Of the govern
ment belong to the National party. They
were. however. at a disadvantage in the
board OF canvassers, as the FuSion.stS
have majority in the board.

According to the alleged report of Cen
eral Otis to the President, which has been
suppressed. but copy Of which has been
secured, it was Mr.. Mckinley himself who
conceived the idea of recognizing and
guaranteeing protection to polygamy and
slavery in the Sulu Archipelago. His in
structions to Otis, concerning the pro-
posed treaty with the Sultan of Jolo are
said to contain clause declaring that
the United States will promise
not to interfere with but to protect the

CHANGES IN CUBA.
Two Military Departments to be
Abolished Soon.

Abolished Soon.
A further change in the military organi-
zation of Cuba is now under considera-
ton by the officials of the War Depart
mert, and mag be put into effect as early
as the 1st of November. The change will
bring about the Establishment CT the mill
tary departments of Matanzas and Santa
Clara, formerly under the command of
Gen. James H. Wilson, and Havana and
Pinar del Rio, now under Gen Fiizhugh
Lee. By making this change the Fl litary
departments would be reduced to bat one,
under General Wood, and take in the en-
tire island. 1t is the intention of the Sec
retary of War to bring General Lee back
to the United States and assign him 10
duty in command of one of the military
departments in this country. probably the
Department of the Lakes, with headquar-
tcrs at Chicago. 1t is understood that
General Wilson will soon return from
China. and he will also be given command
of some department in this country.
The reduction of the military depart
ments in Cuba would release from service
there a number of regular army officers
who are very much needed for service
with their commands in this country and
the Philippines.
