our Mails on the ocean.

One of the favorite claims put forth
by American free traders who oppose
legislation for the upbuilding of our
shipping in the foreign trade is the
one which pretends that the subsidies
paid by Great Britain is merely for the
carriage of mails, and they endeavor
to create the impression that it is a
purely business transaction, having no
regard for the interests of the British
ships thus subsidized. But the fal1acy
of this claim is apparent when we find
an eminent Briton, a member of Par

in favor of reduced charges for mail

When however, introduced a
resolution on the subject on March 80
last Mr. H. H. Fowler, then Secretary
to the Treasury stated that already,
even at the present high charges, there
is loss of 9365, 900 a year, or $1,000
a day on the foreign and colonial ser
vice of the British postofice-'
The difference between the subsidy
paying British nation and our own is
that the former loses about 81 600, 900

States on the other hand earns

THE WAR WITH SPAIN.
It's Beginning and Ending from Our
Diplomatic Standpoint.

It's Beginning and Ending Our
Diplomatic Standpoint.
The instructions given to Minister
Woodford for his guidance at Madrid
directed him to impress upon the gov
eminent of Spain the sincere wish of
the United States to lend its aid in Sc
curing a peace honorable alike to Spain
and the people of Cuba. A new admin
istration in the Spanish government
encouraged the hope that a change of
policy might be adopted which would
result in the paci6cation of Cuba, but
this hope was doomed to disappoint-
ment. After long and patient negotia-
ton in the interest of peace, to the
evils which had so long pressed upon
this country in consequence of the in
surrection, was added a series of Incl
dents that rendered necessary, on
April FL, 1898, armed intervention
to terminate the humiliation imposed
by the condition of affairs. The brief
and brilliant period of war with Spain
was followed by preliminaries of peace,
signed on August IL, providing for the
REIMBURSEMENT of sovereignty over
Cuba, the cesSiOn of Porto Rico and
other islands belonging to Spain in the
West Indies, together with an island
in the Ladrones, to be selected by the
United States, and the occupation of
territory in the city and vicinity of
Manila, pending the conclusion of a
mine the control, disposition, and gov
eminent of the Philippines.
When the commissioners of the
United States, sent to Paris to nego-
tiate treaty of peace with the repre-
sentatives of Spain, confronted the
problem of settlement, it became evil
dent that the interests of the popu1a-
ton of the Philippine Islands,the peace
of the world, and the consistent COM
p1etion of the task of the pacihcat1on
undertaken by the government alike
demanded a ceSSiOn of the entire Phil
ippine archipelago to the United States
At the same time justice to a foreign
foe and the magnanimOus spirit of the
American people seemed to require
recognition of the actual expenditures
of Spain in the internal improvement
Of the islands, and the sum OF SIC, oO0,-
900 was agreed upon as a sulta bic com
penSation for the transfer of this
great archipelago, whose extensive
public lands, estimated at one-half the
whole area of the islands, rich in min
eraI wealth and forests of valuable
timber. will prove abundantly sufficient
to justify this expenditure and to pro-
vide resources for future govern

Daring Deed of n Washington Dame with
Social Aspirations.
People who go about and in society
tell me that when a woman ardently
desires to make herself one of the IA
vored few of the smart set. there is
really nothing she will stop at, and
some of these same persons have been
telling me this story in illustration
of what they say. In high officialdom,
says writer in the Washington Post,
is a little lady, dainty as spring
crocus, who was member of the in
ner circle long before she became a
part of officialdom. On one of her
last reception days she was chatting
with two cabinet women, when the
servant announced the arrival of a
woman who is struggling to get into
things as never social climber strug-
gled before. The hostess knew her
by sight merely. and had never so
much as had a bowling acquaintance
with her, but official people are used
to seeing strangers at their receptions.
and the lady of the house bowed with
her usual graciousness. The climbers
quick eye took 30 the situation. She
saw the two cabinet women, AMI she
knew they say her. She rcSc to the
occasion in mastery fashion. My

clasping the hostess hand warmly. Il

seems as if he could not find anything
to say.

He is white as chalk as he gazes

her eyes.

her hands upon his arm. Come"

CHAPTER V.

| SI1AI v.
When Barbara returns to the Court,
with pale cheeks and without her
bunch of violets, that repose in George
Bouverie's pocketbook as a farewell
souvenir, it is to find scene of con-
fusion and a group in the hall, con-
sisting of the servants, and they are
surrounding a central figure, which
turns out to be Mrs. Sayille lying on
the floor.
A loose stair-rod has precipitated
her down the stairs, with the result of
a broken ankle.
The accident effectually puts a stop
to the trip to London. When-with
the aid of the coachman Sebastian,
and the cook-she has been conveyed
up stairs, she turns to Barbara with
| moan.
Il shall be tied here for weeks!
am suffering horribly! You must go
to London with Sebastian"
Don't worry abort me, Aunt Julia"
Barbara says, plying the pain that is
shown in the twitching face. Il can
travel alone"
Nonsense! AS If Sebastian would
allow such a thing! You can go
straight to your Uncle Henry's, and
Sebastian will see you safely on
board. My foot is fearfully painful

Eyes. Sebastian rode off for him at
once"
Then you may go down stairs and
send Mason to me. What figure you
look, Barbara l suppose you have
been having a scene with that young
Bouverie?"
Barbara says nothing. Her aunt is
in pain, and pain makes most people
irritable; so she leaves the room, and
prepares to continue her own pack
ing, folding away her possessions with
strange sense of unreality, wonder
ing idly what manner of life she will
be living when her gowns see the light
| of day again.
1t is all over at last! The lovers
manage last farewell, and then Bar
first part of the long voyage, to begin
life that to her will only be time
of probation till George Bouverie shall
come and claim her.
Within a week Sebastian is home
again, having seen Barbara safely on
board and started for Tasmania.
"She is a most extraordinary girl"
he says, sitting by his mothers bed
side, and giving her report of his
proceedings. Just fancy! She would
not buy single thing for the voyage
except a deck chair, a rug and some
lavender water; and she insisted on
travelling second class, though her
fathers friends were going first, and
seemed greatly annoyed. They will,
through Barbara's obstinacy, be un-
able to be of the slightest use to her
during the voyage"
What can she mean?" calculates
Mrs. Saville, looking very grim and
grey as she reclines on her pillows.
