DIR. Cyrus Hamlin's strategy.

Apropos of the complications with
Turkey the Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record tells an interesting
story of bit of strategy that was en-
ployed by Rev. DR.. Cyrus Hamlin, a
former president of Middlebury, to Sc
cure the original tirman from the sultan
for the erection of Roberts college. Or
Hamin and his associates of the mission
ary board, with the aid of the United
States minister, had been trying for years
to secure permission from the sultan for
the erection of Christian college in Con-
stantinople for the education of native
missionaries. and while his maiesty's
promises were plentiful the formal permit
could never be obtained. So they waited
from month to month and year to year,
renewing their applications with more OF
less energy every time an opportunity
was offered, and receiving the most
cordial assurances and the most solemn
promises. but never g ting the formal
license In the midst of their perpleXity
and discOuragcment a fleet of American
men,of-war arrived at COnstantinOple on
a Measure cruise. and were received and
entertained with great hospitality by the
sultan and the members of his court, as
well as by the American residents.

could do ANYTHING for him. "leS," re-

During the past ten days the British
have advanced rapidly toward the Dor
ders of Transvaal, the Beers falling back
in good order without loss of men or
guns. No pitched battles are expected
until General Roberts reaches the Naal
river or slightly to the north of it, as
there are no positions intervening of a
character adapted to the Beers mode of
warfare. In the mean time England is
having time to count the cost, and this
process is greatly aided by an abstract
of the casualties in the British army Just
issued by the war office. The abstract
shows a total of 20,035 and this does not
include the sick or wounded in the field
or those sent home, which make S90l
more. In other words, at this stage of
the war Great Britain finds that 10000 of
her troops have been put out of the fight
by an opponent whose total fighting
force she estimated at 10000.

We will all agree with President p.
w. Clement of the Rutland railroad in
his position so ably taken before the
Massachusetts legislative committee ms
to the beneficial effects on the industrial
and commercial community of railroad
competition and low rates The bust
ness interests of Rutland and the rest of
Vermont want to see the railroads of
this state prosper. They wish to have
their owners reap fair return on their
enterprise and investment. At the same
time they desire to see passenger and
freight rates placed at the lowest posi-
BILE point consistent with good business,
so that the states manufacturing inter-
ests may successfully compete with
those anywhere in the country Yer
mont people want the railroads of the
state to do all in their power toward en-
couraging new industries and new pop
ulation to come here. Low freight rates
coupled with flat two cent passenger
mileage rate will do much in this direc-
ton. 1t is hoped and believed that Mr..
Clement, as the managing director OF
one of Nermont's principal railway sys-
tens. a system destined under iudiciouS
management to become one of all New
England's chiefest railroads, will live up
to his knowledge on the subject.

largely increasing the production of
Hawaiian sugar,
Bot the producers of cane sugar in this
country would be in a much better posi-
ton to withstand competition from our
rev possessions than the younger beet
sugar industry. 1t is a well known fact
that great expectations have been based
on the cultivation of the sugar beet in
the United States, and with good reason.
1t has been found possible to prosecute
this industry over wide latitude in this
country and experiments made in differ
ent sections were successful to degree
that promised the most Important results.
1t is now predicted. however, that this
young industry is likely to be seriously
handicapped, if not killed, by the Influx
of sugar from our new possessions with
out restrictions.
If the interests of this country have
reason to fear the effect of the influx OF
an enormously increased output OF la
waiian sugar, what will be the prospects
of American sugar-growers when they
are obliged to compete in addition with
the immense sugar product of Cuba on
even terms? No one doubts that in time
Cuba will become American territory.
and the Cubans, having our guaranty OF
| their Independence. are in a position 10
demand privileges for their products in
this country as one of the prices of an
nexation. 1t can be seen, therefore,
that the question of expansion involves
another issue, which may have an inn
portant bearing on the national election.
