by stirring about. And whatever was done
somehow Injured to SPANS interests across
the Atlantic.
When the Spanish nag came down and
the stars and stripes went up the change
was welcomed both in Porto Rico and in
this country with enthusiasm. To the
Porto Ricans it meant not only new life,
but greatly enlarged field commercially
and in every other way They did not
doubt. and seemed fully justified in believ-
ing. that with American sovereignty would
come American opportunity. In this coun-
try the change meant the strengthening of
our interests In a quarter where We had
long desired foothold. Cuba, it is true,
would be friendly, but Cuba was to be
free. Porto Rico was ours, to have and
to hold.
This was the situation. the aspect of
things when the Presidents message to
Congress was written. The treatment of
the subject by him was well received. and
there was reason to believe that Congress
would act in accordance with his recon-
mendation- But the ways and means COM
mittee of the House, by majority vote,
decided, after an examination of the ques-
ton. to impose small duty on Porto Rican
traffic with the United States, and the
House is on the eve of voting on the propo-
sltion. The case has been strongly argued
en- both sides, and the result is thought to
be doubtful.

The question of tariff for Porto Rico
came up so suddenly and developed so rap
idly that the plight in which the majority
party in Congress finds itself need occa-
sion no surprise. PROFESSIONALLY the Pres
ident in his recommendation on the subject
voiced almost the universal sentiment of
the country at that time. The proposition
seemed simple and the country's duty plain.
Porto Rico was ours We had taken her
from Spain because of Spain's maladminis-
tration of the islands affairs. The island
had been used by Spain, as had all her
other colonies. not for the local advance
ment. but for Spain's selfish purposes. Al
though rich in resources, the island was
backward. The people slept because there
seemed TO b no good purpose to be served

As long shoulder-straps and Victoria
crosses are foundations of pride: as long
as war heroes are made the chiefest heroes
of mankind; as long as deeds of valoroas
butchers and stubborn sacrifice send hys-
terical thrill of admiration through the
hearts of the people, there will be wars and
men will seek honor by filling graves.
But from amid the scenes of slaughter
in South Africa arises d spirit of hope for
those people who believe in peace on earth
and good will toward men. 1t is but dim
and vague and distant shade, but it is
hope The glory of the gallant British off

The admiration which the world feels for
the brave defense the Beers are making
of their country, right or wrong. but be-
lieving themselves right, is accornpa MED
with feeling of sadness and an impulse
to ask, Is there no defense of liberty but
by sacrifice of life?
The world closes its eyes to shut out the
vision of Cronje's men crouching in a he'll

But the very evidence of the perfection

power found in the modern arms and the
sacrifice that war involves. give birth to
the hope of peace. The excessive slaughter
dims the military glory and makes the
people think and, perhaps, pause and weep,
and there is sob in the voice that shouts
the heros praise There are more soldiers
graves than Victoria crosses. and the glory
of killing is tempered by being killed.
The absent-minded beggar may call for
the present-minded patriot and pride may
yet be found in peace

certain that he might well be there or
in Africa far as regards any influence
which he can ever have In the Philippines

chief has been keeping shady for a long
time. There has been no reliable report
as to his whereabouts for several weeks
past unless this Hong Kong story Is re-
liable. No tidings have been obtained of
him by any of our soldiers. None of the
recent Filipino prisoners have seen him.
Not much of the rebellion is left in any

AMERICAN WOMEN ABROAD.
Complimentary Opinion Expressed by
an Eminent English Lady.

Complimentary Opinion Expressed by
an Eminent English Lady.
The woman who peryades all foreign
parts is the American. Like the poor,
they are always with u.s. Their dress,
walk, and general appearance are I'M
mistakable long before the well known
accent proclaims the fact You are
grateful to them, and you admire them.
They are always well dressed, beauti-
fuily set up, almost always thin land
that Is alone virtue), and, finally, good
looking. The girls are charming and
pretty into the bargain, for no Ameri-
can girl is ugly. She has an air which
makes 1t impossible, and there is a
freshness, brightness, and an original
lily which Is most captivating and
which no one can resist. Americans are
full or interest curiosity, and sympa
tiny IN return. There is no false sham,
no reserve. They will tell you all about
themselves, and would like to probe the
most sacred recesses Of your heart;
which Is not done from an idle love Of
gossip, or wanting to know things for
the pleasure Of repeating them, but
from genuine desire to know you and
all about you.
You can tell an American woman
anywhere by her back, by the way she
is coffee, by the quick turn Of her head,
by the lightning glance that takes in
everything. 1t is a universal dictum
that American women age very early
and soon lose their youth. Like many
accepted opinions, 1t is erroneous, for
American women are bien conservee in
every sense of the word long after they
have passed middle age, and they retain
their appearance of youth in wonder
full manner. Wherever you encounter
them they are agreeable, easy, and
willing to meet any indication of
friendship in most hearty manner
