Secretary of State Hay is a plant
tool of England. By the courtesy OF
Pauncefote's lackey, the richest gold
placer mines OF Alaska, covering a
strip OF territory half as large as Long
Island, have been turned oyer to Can
ada, and the 1000 American miners who
discovered and owned valuable claims
therein will be forced to pay tax
es on them to the British authorities. 4
nice state OF things, truly! The action
Of John Hay, the factotum of the British
Tory party, is no less than rank treason
and yet Mckinley smiles upon him be-
nevolently for hauling down the flag.

Uuited States Consul-General Stowe
had narrow escape the other day from
Boer sharpshooters. While riding on
train carrying the stars and stripes for
the protection of himself and the British
soldiers, bang went twenty-seven bullets
into the compartment where he was
gracefully reclining and chatting gaily
with his British companions. His train
was derailed and the occupants cap
tured. The Beers put Stoves carriage
on the track and released the Eighth
Gordons at his requesA He will be
careful next time in carrying the Ameri-
can flag when riding with British in
vaders. In fact he must haul it down
or get shot.
