Friends Suggest Him as Grand W"rshaI of
Inaugural Parade.


Inaugural Parade.
The Baltimore NeU. says: 'EX-
Governor Lloyd Lowndes is being
prominently mentioned for the grand
marshalship of the inaugural parade
in Washington ON March 4. A num-
Der of his friends, it is said, have al
ready moved in the matter, and have
made the suggestion to President
Mckinley that the appointment of
Ex-Governor Lowndes would crafty
his friends in Maryland. 1t is usually
the custom to compliment an eX-Gov-
ernor with the appointment as grand
marshal, and, while the President
elect does not actually have the nam
ing of the man to be complimented,
he is usually consulted on the subject.
The actual naming of the grand mar
shal falls to the lot of the chairman of
the successful national committee.
1T requires considerable tinesse
and dignity on the part of the grand
marshal to withstand the onslaught
of the various organizations which
take part in the parade, promise all
of them the best places in the line of
march and keep things Strengthened
out in general. The actual formation
of the line is left principally TO the
military aids of the marshal. Both
President Mckinley and Chairman
Hanna know Governor Lowndes well
and have always appreciated his ser
vices to the Republican party. He is
also well known in Washington and
would prove very acceptable to the
residents of that city,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. "a, 1900.
By special direction of President
Mckinley the HayPauncefote treaty
was expedited after it reached the
Department of State and by steamer
leaving New York tomorrow an Off
cial copy will go to the British gov
ernment. After delivering a copy of
the treaty to the British government
there is nothing further for this gov
ernment to do except to wait rea-
sonable time for the English to say
what they intend doing. 1t took us
from last February to act on the
treaty and we would have no just
right to complain if the British gov
ernment took as long, although there
is no expectation that it will.
The falling off in the number of
President McKinley's Congressional
callers would have told told that
Congress is off on it's Christmas holi-
day even if it had not otherwise been
known. The average Senator or
Representative seems to make it
point to always spend Christmas
away from Washington, whether he
goes home or not, although there are
few places in which it can be more
pleasantly spent.
The failure of the Senate to reach
vote on the Ship Subsidy bill before
the holiday recess has not discour-
aged any of the supporters of that
measure. No attempt whatever was
made to force vote on the bill, be-
cause it's supporters are willing to
have it thoroughly discussed and to
join in adopting any amendments
which can be shown to be beneficial
to the object sought-the increase of
merchant ships under the American
flag That the bill will be passed
both by the House and Senate is rea-
sonably certain because it is strictly
in line with one of the fundamental
principles of the Republican party
protection to American interests-and
there is Republican majority in
both branches of Congress.
Washington is full of the sort of
rpmors that are always heard after
al important argument before the U.
s. Supreme Court, and a man gullible
enough might believe that the JUS
tices of the court had taken a whole
lot of newspaper men into their con-
fidence and told them just what the
decision of the court, which is not
expected to be handed down for
weeks, will be in the cases involving
the constitutional status of Porto
Rico and the Philippines. While no
one knows what the decision will be
the very able argument of Attorney
General Griggs has increased the
number of those who believe that the
decision will put the same construc-
tion upon the Constitution that Pres
ident McKinley's administration has
done.
Chairman Burton said of the River
and Harbor bill which is ready to be
reported to the House as soon as Con
gress reassembles: cit is not unusu-
ally heavy. 1t carries $23, 900, 900 i'm
mediately available and $37, 900, 900
under continuing contracts. 1t is
certainly not large in view of the
great needs and wealth of this coun-
try. Most of the money is to be spent
at important points in the country,

great and the demands urgent"

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

An Increased Appropriation This Year and
Better Work.
The Farmers Institute session OF
1900-190D will open in Oakland, Jan.
uary rs. One two-day or tive-session
institute will be conducted in each
county in the order of their geograph-
ical location.
In method the meetings will be
ideal. The last Legislature increased
the annual appropriation $1,000, SO
that now the Farmers Institute re-
ceives $4,000 per year from the State.
Though many demands for institutes
from rural districts cannot be enter
tanned under the "a, 900 Appropriation
an improvement on the past will be
noted in this seasons program.
The meetings will be held in towns
easily accessible by roads and rail
ways. Meetings will be longer and
more time will be given for discussion
and answering questions. The farm
ers will have more opportunity for
getting acquainted with the visiting
workers and their neighbors, thereby
creating closer fellowship and en-
couraging relations which will result
in much good to individuals, county
and State. In former institutes sub
jects of vital interest to the home
have been necessarily omitted-this
season they will be among the first to
receive attention. The afternoon of
the first days meeting will be the
ladies session, when problems of the
home, the garden and the orchard
will be the main topics discussed.

vision of chemistry, Washington, d.

Senator Lodge, who had charge OF
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty which
was amended and ratified by the Sen
ate, the day before the adjournment
for the Christmas recess has made
public statement concerning the
treaty as ratified, in which he said:
"The amendments were not dictated
by hospitality toward England, and
still less were they in any way a re-
Election upon the Secretary of State,
whose patriotism, purity of purpose,
knowledge, accomplishments, and
high achievements in dealing with
our foreign relations, especially in
China, are fully and cordially recog-
nized by men of all parties and all
shades of opinion in the Senate. The
amendments were made by the Sen
ate, solely because, in its opinion,
they were necessary for the interests
of the United States. The Senate is
part of the treaty making power, and
treaties sent to it for ratification are
not strictly treaties, but projects for
treaties. They are still inchoate. In
the exercise of its undoubted rights,
without the slightest reflection upon
anyone, and without show of hostil-
ity to friendly nation, the Senate,
continuing the negotiation began by
Mr.. Hay, offers three new PROPOSE
tions to England. They ask her to
omit the clause inviting other nations
to adhere, which does not touch her
at all. They ask her to conform to
our desires by agreeing in unmistak-
able language, to the suppression of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty by the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which is the
whole purpose of the negotiation.
They ask her, finally, to accept, in
this treaty, the reservation of rights
in time of war, which she granted to
Turkey in the Suez Convention, and
of which, as the present possessor OF
Egypt, she is now herself the bene-
ticiary. 1t is as much for England's s
ITt tS hn nnNx
propositions in the friendly spirit in
which they are offered, and thus end
a controversy over an outworn treaty
which is only stumbling block to
both nations. Mr.. Lodge is confident
that the amended treaty will be ac-
cepted by England.
The full text of the agreement sign
ed by the foreign ministers in Pekin,
has been made public by the State
Department. Its main features had
all been published before
