O'Clock, by James II. Van Buren,,
who is in charge of st. Johns church
at Ponce, Porto Rico.
The lecture, which has been given
in the leading cities the last two
weeks, familiarizes the people with
tBRrePR 9tFBes hRnRa qeRakefIs shqavtiesl
in missions, Porto Rico being most
important field. 1t is quite a privi-
lege for the people Of Milford to have
this opportunity Of hearing Mr.. Van
Buren, prior to his return to Porto
Rico next month, and there should
be large audience.
Admission will be free, but Il col
lection for the mission at Ponce will
be taken up at the close Of the lecture.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

While no definite official state.
ment has been made, President
Roosevelt has permitted it to be made
known that draft for a new Hay
Pauncefote treaty is completed and
will be handed to the senate as soon
as congress convenes. The prominent
features of the new treaty are the
supersedence Of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty by the new convention, the
guarantee Of the United States
that the canal shall be neutral and
the exclusive right Of the United
States to fortify it. These are pra cti-
cally the only points that excited OPP
position when the former treaty was
before the senate, and now that
they conform to the senate's recon-
mendations, there is every reason
to believe that the treaty will be
promptly ratified. The ratification,
Of this treaty will remove the chief
obstacle to canal legislation, and il is
confidently predicted that definite
action, leading to the construction of
an isthmian canal, will be taken by
the fifty-seventh congress.

The president has given a careful
hearing to General Torrance, the new
commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic, who called at the White
House to prefer charges against PEN
sion Commissioner Evans. Being
but recently elected, General Tor
rance did not have all the evidence
at his fingers ends and the result of
the conference was that both gentle
men agreed to pospone any action in
the matter until such time as both
could familiarize themselves with
the details of the situation. In the
meantime, Mr.. Cortelyou will make
a careful investigation for the presi-
dent of the methods pursued in the

The great gains in our trade with
the Philippines are a source of much
qualification. The returns show that
for the nine months ending with
March, 1901, our exports to the Phil
ippines have increased fifty. one per
cent. over the same period ending
with March 1900. During the same
period, American enterprise was
making itself felt in the islands to an
extent that increased the total exports
by thirty-four per cent. The value
of goods sold to the islands by this
country for the nine months above
stated was $4,000, 900, while for the
entire year of 1896, our total trade
amounted to only Sl26,O More
over, the figures show that as the
army has been decreased in the is
land, the trade has increased, show
ing that the relations are being built
on solid and commercial bases.
All this is very gratifying in view ol
some of the predictions that were
made when we first acquired posses
sion Of the Philippine islands.

The next question to he settled is
that of route. The choice lies be.
tween the Panama, the Nicaragua
and the Tehauntepec routes. The
merits and dement's Of the first two
are we'll known, while of the last but
little is known. 1t is not thought
likely that the Walker Isthmian
Canal Commission will recommend
any specific route, but that it will
content itself with a comprehensive
discussion of the advantages and dis
advantages Ofall three. The Panama
route would avoid the dangerous
shoals and the high winds of Lake
Nicaragua and might prove the best
from pure commercial standpoint,
but it is understood that the Nicara
guam route is regarded as the best
from military standpoint and that
is the consideration most likely to
weigh with congress. Senator Nor
gan believes the Nicaraguan route
will be adopted. The only cause OF
anxiety that remains to worry the
friends Of the canal is the French
Panama Canal Company, whose pres
ident, M. Maurice Hutin, is now in
Washington and in daily conference
with Admiral Walker. While ac-
ceptance of the Panama company's
proposition is not regarded as mat
ter requiring serious consideration, it
is feared that the enemies of any
canal may use it is subterfuge and
eventually block all canal legislation.

The coming session will witness a
serious campaign for irrigation in
the western states. There is said to
be an understanding between the
representatives from Montana, Ne
vada, Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska
and some Of the territories and that
important legislation will be pressed.
The fact that the President has had
western experience and thoroughly
understands the situation leads
the friends of irrigation to believe
the present is an exceptionally favor
able time to press their views and
they are confident that definite and
progressive legislation will result.

southern voter. Others approve his
independence and hold that he is
large enough to defy criticism.


There is no ground for the contin-
ually repeated reports that there is a
lack Of harmony between the presi
dent and Senator Hanna. Both men
are built on altogether too large a
scale to indulge in pretty chickering's
and jealousies and, as a matter of
fact, Mr.. Roosevelt has invited Sen
atOr Hanna's advice on several of
the more important questions that
have come up and has informed the
senator that he will always be CRATE
ful to him for any advice he may
choose to offer. Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Hanna differ upon many minor
details but in all matters of impOr-
tance they will be found acting in un-
ity for the good of the country.

LEADER AGAIN.

Senator James K. Jones has
again been elected leader of the
minority party in the United
State senate. Shortly after the
c>nvening Of congress Senator
Jones called a meeting of the
democratic members and ex-
planned that as new members had
appeared in the senate, and per-
haps for other reasons, a change
IN the management of the minor.
ity forces might be desired. He
was assured that no change was
needed or desired, and unani.
mously reelected.
This is an honor to Senator
Jones, and to all Arkansas as
well. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that when the democratic mem.
oers of the United States senate
convened to pick leader their
choice fell upon the man who
is capable Of rendering the party
the most effective service. The
fact that the leadership of democ-
racy has again been placed in
the hands of Senator Jones NAV

In the Newport News report
of Gov. Davis speech there we
find the following:
He excused his pardon of
the fallen women at Ft. Smith
by telling the story Of Christ
and Magdalem, and said that
the editors were like the
crowd that wanted to stone
the woman to death.
Gov. Davis is perhaps the
only man in the state with the
egotism to compare himself with
Christ, But you can expect it of
him.
