The correspondence between the
United States and foreign governments
that led to pledges from the powers of
Europe to maintain the open door in

were taken on the part of this govern
ment. The language of the initial notes
indicates that each was framed to ft
the supposed attitude of the power ld-

proven by the tenor of the replies and
by the successful outcome.
The correspondence extended from

completion of the undertaking. The
nations addressed by the United States
were Great Britain. Germany. Russia,

1t has been generally stated that the
Cubans are a wonderfully courteous
and polite people. But careful study
of their characteristics leads me to the
conclusion that no class among them
eXcels a like class of our own people
in the courtesies of life. If it be claim
ed that they are more expressive in
making their ~politeness known, it must
be granted, but the essence of the act
Is in no sense superior to rue Ameri-
can politeness. An Introduction to n
well educated Cuban or Spaniard, by

ANTI-ExPANSIoN VIEWS.

Arthur Hugh Frazier, late of the

who has returned from duty in the
Philippines, quotes the remark of ex-
GOV. Boutwell, that the "Filipinos can
manage a bank or run a laundry with
a certainty of success that cannot be
foretold of any other people, whether
English or American" and says of 1t:
An ex-so.dier feels tempted to rub
his eyes and wonder where these COM
mercial paladins concealed themselves
during his s%ojourn in their midst"
He goes on to say that the soldiers

The factories are far behind on their
orders and cannot possibly furnish the
goods as fast as they are called for.

firm could not get cotton as fast as
they wanted it. Cloth that short

as possible.
Another salesman who is selling neck
wear. received orders from his house
when he arrived in this city on his last
trip. to lay aside 20 of his samples, as
the material for them could not be Sc
cured He said that made 80 samples
that he had taken out Of his case since
he left Portland and ne almost eX-
ppcted that he would be called in when
he arrived in Bangor, because Of the
inability Of the manufacturers and
Wholesalers to fill the orders or to keep
anywhere near them
These are only two instances and the
same story is being told by almost
every salesman who strikes the city
Under these conditions the statesmen are
not begging for orders as many We're a
short time ago, but simply show their
samples and ask the dealers to buy. II
they refuse there is little urging.
