The prediction of Editor Harms
worth, of the London Daily Mail, con-
corning the newspaper of the twen-
tieth century may well he worth con-
sidering, in view of the alarming
growth of combination and capital.
If his dreams should come to pass the
well fare of the general public would
be menaced. The possibility of eX-
traordinary and dangerous tyrany
would be created. The very founda-
tion of our Republic would be in dam
ger and there could be no appeal
from the despot placed over our
heads. Here is what he says
Il feel certain that the newspaper
of the twentieth century will be
drawn into the vortex of combination
and Capitalization. In fact, given
the man, the capital, the organiza-
tion, and the occasion, there seems to
be no reason why one or two news
papers may not presently dominate
great sections of the United States,
In other words, where there are now a
multitude of papers, there will then
be one or two great journals. The
method by which such journals would
be established would be precisely
those employed in the formation of
the ordinary trust. Possessing it's
own cables, wires, dispatch boats,
and special trains, the simultaneous
newspaper concern would soon have
its own paper mills, printing ink
factories, machine-shops, and the
like. The simultaneous newspaper
would represent a standard of ex-
cellence which has never been before
reached. And with its great re-
sources, it would be able to carry out
on an unprecedented scale enterprises
outside of strict newspaper field.

The imperial edict deposing the former

generally considered as the strongest proof
yet given of the sincerity of the Empress

The Library of Congress.

Perhaps the most characteristic educa-

product of this period. In addition To ac-
cumulating material. they also striv-
Ing by organization. by Improvement in
method and by cooperation TO give greater
efficiency To the material they hold. to
make II more widely useful and by avoid

allowed to rise over four feet in the hold

daring trip into the hold among the cargo
of coal and amid the gas to locate the
fire. and he succeeded in doing so.

this way, this being the port which could
be most quickly reached. She is thought
to be badly damaged.

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Beneficial Results Expected-The
We'll and La Abra Awards.

We view with lively interest and keen
hopes of beneficial results the proceedings
of the Pan-American congress convoked
at the invitation of Mexico and now sitting
at the Mexican capital. The delegates of
the United States are under the most lib
eral instructions To cooperate with their
colleagues in all matters promising advan-
tage TO the great family of American COM
monwealths, as well in their relations
among themselves as in their domestic adj
vancement and in their intercourse with the
world at large.
My predecessor communicated to the Con-
gress the fact that the We'll and La Abra
awards against Mexico have been adjudged
by the highest courts of our country to
have been obtained through fraud and
perjury on the part of the claimants, and
that in accordance with the acts of the
Congress the money remaining in the hands
of the secretary OF state on these awards
has been returned to Mexico. A consider
able portion of the money received from
Mexico on these awards had been paid by
this government TO the claimants before the
decision of the courts rendered. My
judgment is that the Congress should re-
turn TO Mexico an amount equal TO the
sums thus already paid to the claimants.
