mercial ventures. Germany paid Spain
for the Caroline islands. and German
money ana enterprise are doing more
for hcr now than any other influence.
Spain has little TO hope from any in
her upper classes. National life is dead
at the top. Spain is like an old vine
her farTeaching branches have been
Topped away in the less of her island
possessions. and her eiTete aristocracy
is so much deadwood. But there is life
in the old vine at the root-in the char
acter Of the honest, gay. proud, tem-
perate people, who are devoid of the
worst faults OF the cognate Latin races,
whatever their own faults may be.
Il am a Christian and descendant
of ancient Christians" you viii hear
very often in Spain, especially in the
south. They want it well understood
that there is no Moorish oriental streak
in their veins that will lead them TO
cringe and cover. They never know
when they are whipped, and for that
reason they deserve the friendly SYM
pathy of Americans, who were the last
to whip them. The farmers and arti-
sans, the manufacturers and merchants
of Spain are inclined toward friendli-
ness with the people of this country.
There is little of this quality In the
upper classes, although there are many
admirable individuals in the arlstocra-
cy like Admiral Cervera. But Madrid
is fetid pool" as one of the most pop
ular of Spanish writers says. 1t will
take good deal to clean it up. even If
the attempt TO form republic should
again be tried. 1t was too soon to try
the experiment successfully during
those brief brilliant years when Caste
lar was president of the Spanish repub-
lie. Possibly now the time may be
coming to try again.
The United States, although not then
world power, was the first to recog-
niza the republic of Spain in those
days, when even France and Theirs
dared not do so IN fear of the wrath of
the allied mOnarchies. The story is
told with relish in Madrid by the Lib
eral editors and other hopeful radicals
how Mr.. Hamlin, then our minister TO
Madrid, went formally to see the presi-
dent of Spain and made him Il congrat.
ulatory speech, in which he said:

CIRCUIT RACES.

By Associated Press
Cincinnati. o., April 25.-At the
Newport track today six races were
run over the track, averaging foot of
water and in some places deeper. It
was accomplished without serious ac-
cident to horse or rider.
There were many exciting contests
during the day and thousands cheered
the riders as they rode daredevil
fashion through the lake on the home
stretch to reach the wire first. Not a
horse wabbled until the finish in the
last event, when Julius Warner and
Isaac stumbled, throwing the riders
into the water. The boys were not
seriously injured. The racing will be
continued tomorrow and Saturday un-
der the same circumstances.

PEKIN. Dec. 1.-The first few weeks
of severe weather have tested the re-
sources of the foreign troops now here
