ing talk TO the school, which, it is hoped, will
prove beneficial, and followed by sermon in
the audience room to a very attentive congre-
CATION. A goodly number of persons attended
the mass meeting in the afternoon, when Mr..

the children. Mr.. Radcliff, of Baltimore, a
christian worker among the poor children in
the Brewery district of East Baltimore, gave
an illustrated lesson on the blackboard, with
candles unlighted and lighted, as the object 10
demonstrate she truths he wished to impress
upon th. minds of his hearers. Mr.. Jesse Z.
Garner, Superintendent Of the Church of God
Sunday school, delivered very interesting
address on efficient work by Sunday school
teachers, which was given marked attention
by the audience. At the night service large
congregation gathered and again Mr.. Mock
occupied their attention by an earnest appeal
to parents to take care of their boys and girls,
and visit and support the Sunday schools in
which they are taught. Mr.. Radclif also held
the attention of the audience by giving de-
scription of the work of earnest christian
workers among the poor and in the slums of
the cities, proving by the results whether the
sacrifice was worth the pay. Mr.. Radcliff
and Mr.. Benjamin Hoffman each contributed
a solo during the service. The chancel and
pulpit were very prettily decorated with cut
flowers ana blooming plants, which added
considerable to the occasion. 1t was the work
of the hands of the C. E. flower committee.
Revs. Jesse Shreeve and B. w. kindley as
sisted at the service.

The Fourth of July.

William r. Hearst, of the New York Jour-

Independence abandon II. No man VINO mas a

to have the Monroe Doctrine recalled aud
explained and the people shown how far the

would be profitable reading on the OCCASION

Mr.. Hearst well says the great question oil
the day is, "whether this country is to con-
tinue to be Republic, controlled by the
people, or an Empire, controlled by Trusts. "
And the way to meet the issue is to point oni
the danger and arouse the patriotism of the
people.

country in celebrating the Declaration OF In

years, months and day. Mrs. Davis was
q sister of the late Francis Shriver, of this

The Boer enyoys to the United States were
received by Secretary of State Hay on Mon
day. and spent an hour with him. They pre-
scented their case with force and eloquence,
said Mr. Hay, but he told them the President
had gone the extreme limit in offering his
services as a mediator, and Great Britain had
declined to admit any other power to enter
the controversy. Of course great Britain
would decline mediation. To have submitted
the matter to third party would nave resulted
contrary to her intents and purposes-the abb
sorption of the territory of the Boer republics.
Sill. from the reply of Mr.. Hay it seems
that the United States have gone as far as
thew could under The Hague Convention.
Article 3 of that convention says:
.Powers strangers to the dispute may have
the right 10 offer good offices or media'ioh eve"
during the course of hostilities.
',Article v says:
..Tbe functions of the mediator are at an
end when once it is declared, either by one oil
the parties to the dispute or by the mediator
himself, that the means OF RECOMMENDATION pro-
posed by him are not accepted.
In March last, at the request OF the boer
republics, the President communicated with
Lord Salisbury willingness to use his ofhces
in the interest of peace. The reply was that
her Majisty's Government could not accept
the intervention of any power.
Another provision The Hague Convention
provides :,
esNotbiug contained in this convention shall
be 40 construed as to require the United States
of America to depart from its traditional
policy of not intruding upon, interfering with
or entangling itself with questions OF pohcy
or internal administration OF any foreign state;
nor shall anything contained III the SAID con-
yention be construed 10 imply reiinqnisn :
ment by the United States of America OF It's
traditional attitude toward purely American
questions.
While Secretary Hay and President Mckin-
lev were strictly right in their reply to the
Boer ENJOYS, the Hanna Mckinley Admins
tration will find difficulty in satisfactorily ex-
plaining why this government, in view OF this
last quotation from the convention OF Inc
Hague, interfered in the internal affairs OF
Sna;p. and crossed the Pacific to seize the
Philippines and thus entered into European
and Asiatic politics.
The convention of The Hague is literally
construed in the one case, and departed from
when it stood in the way Of the imperial policy
ofthe Hanna Nc Kinley Administration. And
this variance of construction, too, will
strengthen the belief that there is II secret I'M
derstandina between the Hanna Mckinley
Administration and Queen Vicloria's govern
ment.
