Warrington Omcials Not Disposed to Un-
duly Hurry Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-While, tech
nically speaking, negotiations looking
to the making Of reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Ger.
many are still in progress, practically
nothing has been accomplished i'll that
direction since the departure Of the
German ambassador, Herr Won Hol-
leben, for Germany early last summer.
There is no disposition whatever on the
part of the state department to EN-
barrass the German government by any
insistence at this time upon al active
prosecution of the negotiations. While
far from satisfactory the existing con-
ditions Of the American export trade
with Germany can, it is believed
by the officials, be tolerated for a short
time 1t is believed that when
the German government has secured
what it believes necessary, Gel tain con-
cessions from the reichstag, it will be
ready to meet the United States. AT
any rate a conviction of this kind has
inspired the United States government
to avoid any urgent representations con-
nected with the reciprocity negotiations
at this stage.

Sentiments Expressed by = Chicago Labor
Leader.
CHICAGO, March 5.-President James
O'Conneu of the International Machin-
ists' union delivered an address during
the day at the meeting Of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, expressing the be-
lief that closer understanding between
the employer and employe would be
good thing for the laboring GLASSES.
Coming as it did from the leader of a
striking union this sentiment created
sensation at the meeting. It seemed to
meet with almost unanimous approval.
Following his reference to labor trou-
bles Mr.. O'Connel did more unusual
thing by launching into a eulogy Of
non-union workmen.
President O'Conneu had been granted
the floor to make a report on the ma
chinists' strike. In his speech he de-
precated the tendency to regard the
present labor troubles as a beginning Of
serious strife.

M'kINLEY ON IMPERIALISM.

President Speaks at the Ohio Society Ban
quet in New York City.
New YORK, March 5.-At the banquet
Of the Ohio society at the Waldorf As
toria President Mckinley, in response
to toast in his honor, said:
"There can be no imperialism. These
who fear are against it. Those who
have faith in the republic are against it,
So that there is universal adherence for
it and unanimous opposition to it. Our
only difference is that those who do not
agree with us have no confidence in the
virtue or capacity or high purpose or
good faith of this free people as civil
izing agency, while we believe that the
century Of free government which the
American people have enjoyed has not
rendered them faithless and irreso-
lutte, but has fitted them for the great
task Of lifting up and assisting to better
conditions those distant people who
have, through the issue Of battle, be-
come our wards. Let us fear not. There
is no occasion for faint hearts, no ex-
cuse for regrets. Nations do not grow
in strength and the cause of liberty and
law is not advanced by the doing of
easy, things.
1.-THE harder the task the greater will
be the result, the benefit and the honor.
To doubt our power to accomplish it. is
to lose faith in the soundness and
strength of our popular institutions.
The liberators will never become the
oppressors. A sef.governed people will
never permit despotism in any govern
ment which they foster and defend.
"Gentlemen, We have the new care
and cannot shift it. And, breaking up
the camp of ease and isolation, let us
bravely and hopefully and soberly con.
tinue the march Of faithful service and
falter not until the work is done. It is
not possible that 75,ooo,o 900 Of American
freemen are unable to establish liberty
and Justice and good government in our
new possessions."

New YORK, March 5.-Bishop An.
drews Of the Methodist Episcopal church,
who preached Sunday at tho services
attended by the president, caused a
mild sensation, some Of his remarks be-
ing considered q criticism Of the admin
istratiop's Philippine policy.
Bishop Andrews discoursed on charity
and love, taking as his text the fifth
verse Of the first chapter Of the first
Epistle to Timothy: CHOW the end of
the commandment is charity out of pure
heart, and Of good conscience, and Of
faith unfeigned."
"Whatever may be the reason Of de-
pravity," said Bishop Andrews, "what-
ever may be the doctrine of depravity,
man loves his family, his neighbors and
his country. This love makes society
possible. We should love our friends
and neighbors and country, but we
should love the people Of every other
race as we love ourselves.
His Idea of Patriotism.
"What is patriotism but a narrow
care of ones own land and city, such as
the Romans had when they trampled
out the lives Of whole nations?
"One of our greatest generals said
that the only good Indian is dead In.
dian. One of our greatest judges as.
serted that black man has no rights
which white man il. bound to re.
''Whether or not this is true, there
are indications of q tendency MOTTO
value men Of other races as we value
those Of our own.

Of the man with almond eyes, or whose
hair is curled little too much. We
find it hard to recognize that these are
all the children Of one great father"
