States in regard to foreign territory,
there existed an implication as strong
and as binding as words could con-
struct it,
The abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty and the substitution of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty with the Davis amend
ment, will shatter what little there is
left of the Monroe doctrine, by relieving
England from the only formal treaty
that acknowledged the principles of that
contention. The clause of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty that contemp. ated the
consent of other nations to the neutrality
of the Nicaraguan canal and which was
SC viciously criticized, was in direct line
with the Monroe doctrine and would
have been fine diplomatic stroke to
secure the acquiescence of the other
powers to the doctrine of non-interfer-
erce. The Monroe doctrine is negative
il it's operation and does not contemplate
exclusive control by the United States.
The United States senate in its eager
ness to strengthen the American posi-

THE WAY TO END 1T.

The progress of affairs in Kansas in
connection with Mrs. Nations raiding
of the unlicensed saloons involves gr:ev-
Gus public scandal. 1t should not be al
lowed to continue one moment longer
than is necessary fer public authority
to put an end to it. 1t is bringing the
good name of the American people into
disrepute, and is operating no doubt to
the serious detriment of the state of Kan
sas.
Such scenes as have been enacted with
in the past seventy-two hours are IN
worthy any state of civilized society. No
matter from what point of view they are
regarded there is one fact which makes
itself plain to everybody, and that is
that public authority is in contempt, the
public peace is being disturbed and the
law is being violated, openly and with
impunity by every interest involved in
the low squabble.
1t is hard to regard such situation
dispassionately, or, indeed, otherwiz e
than with prejudice on either one side or
the other. Kansas is nom:nally a pro-
hibition state. The dives, so-called, are
maintained in Kansas cities in open vio-
lation of the state law, and no doubt in
open violation of the judgment and will
of the majority of the people Of the state.
They would not exist unless there was a
public demand for Them. If they were

CHAPTER III.
BENDIGO's THEORY


Bendigo, if he had ever felt emotion Of
any kind, had long since ceased to feel 1t.
He expressed no sort of alarm now. but
inquired in the most conventional and
stolid manner:
Didn't the lootenant come ashore,
missy?''
yes, last night; but he never reached
his ship again. One of his brother off,
GERS called to see if he was at our house,
and 1 hurried here, thinking he might
have come on last night"
Never set eyes on him, missy! Bin

The red headed youth came at racing
speed across the waste lands. and flung
himself painting on the verandah. In her
frenzy Norah hardly gave him time to
recover his breath before she was crying
for news.

WISE shook his head, and his usually
merry face was as sober as that of a
Judge. Searched all the hotels-no go.

The three looked at one another In con-
sternation. That an officer in her ma
jesty's service should disappear so s,id-
denly and completely from a civilized
neighborhood was beyond belief. Even
in a novel the relation of SO untoward
an event would tax credulity. Yet it had
actually happened. Jayne had vanished
as mysterious;y as though the earth had
opened her mouth to receive him. Ben

THE BEST BEGINNING.

The information published in these col
umns yesterday indicating the transfer
Ct the Carnegie iron and steel interests
to J. P. Morgan and associates Is
doubtless authentic. The Tribune of
New York may safely be regarded in
such cases as having the means of ac-
curing inside knowledge while that
paper has never yet been identified, out
side of party politics, with sensational
news-monging in any direction.
The closing statement OF the press dis
patch is the most significant in the
announcement. 1t is that 1.-The object
aimed at by Mr.. Morgan and the inter-
ests allied with him when treating with
Mr.. Carnegie was the assurance of an
enduring peace in the steel industry Of
the United States, and this condition
IS now believed to be obtained"
1t is but a brief time since the as
surance was given that the Carnegie
company was about to engage in the
manufacture of steel piping and tubular
! rized monopoly in that line of manufac-
ture. The facilities in control of the
Carnegie people were so complete and
| so concentrated that the certainty ex-
listed that the opposition would be effec-
tive, and that the public would be as
sured protection against such charges
as might be maintained when competi-
I ton was practically non-eXistent.
1t would be hard to say that there is
any immediate connection between the
contemplated engagement of the Carne-
gle interests in the steel tubing manu-
| facture and the absorption of those in
| terests by Mr.. Morgan, although no
doubt many will be disposed to argue
cause and consequence from the coinci-
! dence The public has become used to
seeing just such transactions as are here
! outlined carried to effect, and the large
industries of the country thus pass one
after another into the control of COM
mon management. The question is yet
practically undetermined, and will long
so remain, whether this movement in in
dustrial life is going to be attended by
gain or loss to the community as a
whole.
There can be no doubt but that the
country will be largely at the mercy of
such combinations when they have made
their control practically complete in the
directions in which they unite. The task
of rendering available the capital neces-
sary to engaging successfully in industry
! in opposition to such organizations is
! practically impossible of accomplishment.
Yet it is urged with much appearance OF
reason that we cannot hope to engage
successfully in competition with the
| manufacturers of the Old World without
having all the recognized advantages for
| producing at reduced cost which are
recognized as involved in such large COM
binations.
If the transfer announced with such
decided appearance of authenticity has
really been made 1t means no doubt that
the steel industry of the United States

If ever a serious beginning is to be
