having been refused absolutely by the
censor at Durham was filed by Frank
H Nelson, formerly of Chicago and
was addressed to Miss Aldywith Bond
of this city who at that time was in
London and on her way to the Trans

music in this city and New York and
later in Paris. En- route to Paris she
met Nelson in London then on his way
to Pretoria. In October Miss Bond had
arranged to join her lover and was to
have sailed on the day that war was
declared. This act was the cause of the
detention of the ship and an entire
change of plans.

President Turned Deaf Ear to Brit
aims Proposition For an
Alliance.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Administration officials are circum
spect in discussing the statement made
by Lord ROsebery that Great Britain
in December approached the United
States and Germany in regard to the
advisability of forming an alliance. 1t
is understood, however that intima-
tons We're conveyed to this government
by the British authorities of their de-
sire that the relations between the two
governments should be closer and in the
nature of a pact, but the administration
turned a deaf ear and made It plain
that the United States could not aban-
don its policy OF non entanglement in
European affairs 1t is stated that the
overtures were not in the form of
formal suggestions, but even if they
had been, it is unlikely that they would
have met with a cordial response from
the president.
Considerable curiosity has been
awakened as to Lord Rosebery's reason
for making public the fact of Great
Britain'S desire to enter into an alliance
with the United States and Germany
and the setps she took to that end. 1t
is thought by some that the statement
was determined upon by the British
cabinet as an answer to Mr.. Macrum' s
statement that he did not know that
an alliance existed between the United
States and Great Britain" and to dis
pose of the charges made by anti-ad-
ministration politicians that such an
alliance does in fact exist. The sugges-
ton that such a statement be made GER
tainly did not come from Washington.

PURCHASE OF A STEAMER.
Will Prevent Pacific Mail From De-
claring Any Dividends For While.

claring Any Dividends For While.
New York, Feb. 16.-The Herald says:
From remarks made yesterday by
President Coils p. Huntington and
other insiders it appears likely that the
dividend of ~ per cent received by
Pacific mail stockholders in December
will prove to be the last one declared
on the stock for the present. It is not
probable that any dividend will be
made at the next regular period.
The reason for this is the recent pur-
chase by the company of the English
steamship AlgOla, at a price approach
ing $500, 900. The company is also build
ing two steamers at Newport News,
and the expenditures for this new
equipment promise to cut into the sur
plus and earnings to such an extent
that from the present outlook a division
of profits for the current six months
will be inadvisable.
President Huntington confirmed the
story of the purchase of Algoa and
gave an intimatiOn of what the COM
pany's dividend policy will be by de-
claring that in his opinion the interests
of stockholders will be better served
by this addition to the cOmpanys earn
ing capacity than by distribution of
cash as dividends. He said he believed
that stockholders will be satisfied with
such ngementS-
Another Pacific Mail director added
s'The AlgOa is a big English steamship,
having a capacity of 1900 tons dead
weight. We have purchased her be-
cause we need her. Business is increas-
ing and we have need of greater facil-
tiles. This vessel and those now in
course Of construction for the company
viii give US what we want, and by get
ting them we will increase the com
pany's earning power. OF course, the
first outlay is heavy and in view of
the expenditures stockholders can hard
" expect a continuation of dividends.
But in the long run they will be re-
paid"
Wall street did not seem to share the
official opinions that a suspension of
dividends is to be desired by stockhold-
ers On vague intimations Of this sort
Pacific Mail broke sharply from Az
to 1914, and closed within a fraction
of the lowest price.
According to the annual report for
the fiscal year ended April 80, 1899, Pa
cifc Mail then had a surplus of 1918. 324
For the eight months from May 10 to
December 81, 1899. the company shows
a surplus, after provision for the re-
serve fund of s62s, SOL from which a

SCORES CAPT. MAHAN.
Col T. W. Higginson Makes a vigor
GUS Attack on the Freedom"
Address.

Boston. Feb. 16-ColoneI Thomas
Wentworth Higginson made a vigorous
attack on Captain Mahan before the
Twentieth Century club. in which he
said:
Il wish no i'll to Captain Mahan,
whose books I read with pleasure, but
a rawhide in the hands of a Boer farmer
might teach him a lesson in the right
of self government
In an address on Freedom" he re-
ferred to Captain Mahan's recent ar
ticte in the Independent, saying:
Captain MahanS idea is the naval
board of prize money theory. It dis
poses of every mans right to his own
earnings and every mothers right to
her own child. Not farm in New En-
gland, not a set of carpenter tools, not
a block of telephone stock, could be
held bv its owner under this theory.
unless he used it with propriety.
How Superbly would President Eliot
provide for Harvard should he take
possession of all the property even of
Cambridge people who were using it
injudiciously. The result would be a
final swallowing up of nations, until
only two English speaking nations re-
manned with the necessity of one swal-
lowing the other.
when the truth is we'll stated it is
well to have the opposite side brought
out as fOrcibly as possible. 1t is I'M
fortunate that we have a man, honored
in literature and naval service, who
will state an absolute falsehood as
though it were truth. Captain Mahan,
in recent letter to the New York In
dependent, lays down the general prin-
ciple that neither a state nor a people
possess any right to govern itself or to
independence.
THE Filipinos certainly have no right
to hold and administer the government
of the country they occupy. Their
right is conditional. AS to the Beers,
the right they have depends upon the
use they make of their power, and they
