The an-American exposition cam
not fail to be long step toward the
establishment Of closer relations than
now exist between this country and
the governments Of the republics to the
South. The speeches made at Buffalo
on dedication day both by representa-
tives of the United States and by
those of our sister republics breathed
the spirit of confidence, cooperation
and good will. There are mischief
makers in those Central and South
American republics, foolish editors and
demagogic agitators that seek to set
them against tie United States which
they represent as huge and greedy
giant awaiting propitious time to
swallow them all. But the closer ac-
uuaintance and better understanding
which must result from the exhibits
and visitors at Buffalo will go far to
cure them of fear of us or any desire
for foreign alliances to protect them
from us.
The telegram of President Mckinley
read at the formal opening breathed
the same spirit of peace and good will
that characterized his utterances on
the Texas and Mexico border The
able address of vice-President Roose-
welt to the assembled delegates and
officials representing those republics
was in the same line. He told the
other American peoples that our Mon
roe Doctrine is quite as much theirs
as ours, and urged them to stand with
us, shoulder to shoulder. behind ii.
Among ourselves he said to them.
each nation must scrup0lousy regard
the rights and interests of the others,
so that instead of any one of Us COM

said. We seek no extension to the
southwark We desire nothing that is
yours. We ask only for your
friendship, for your commerce. and for

these should have a good and reassur-
ing effect.
Supplementing the work Of this
great exposition will be a Pan-Ameri-
can congress in the city of Mexico
late in the fall. One of the chief
themes for discussion there will be
the matter of arbitration. There is no
reason why those republics should en-

November q, 1900, the rumor which some
time ago created such great sensation,
that Gen. Butler oniY left South Africa
after having been prisoner in the hands
of the Beers. In this paper, which gives
a sufficient account of the incident, We
find that Gen. Butler signed a written
contract, in which he agreed never to
fight in South Africa again, and that he
therefore was released on parol. The
paper also relates the fact that the dis
tinguished British general left all his
medals and decorations of honor and dis
tinction in the hands OF Gen. DeWet,
who still keeps them as trophies of war
The same paper further states that it had
not published these facts before for the
reason that it might have caused trouble
for the Portuguese government. Now.
then, here is bit OF history: Gen. Butler
went to South Africa TO eat a Christmas
dinner in Pretoria; he lost every battle
in which he was engaged against the
Beers; he was taken prisoner by his enc
mics; he had to leave all his medals and
decorations of honor, which he had re-
ceived during his military career in the
hands of Gen. DeWet when he was re-
leased on parole, and he was finally re-
ceived in England as great hero.
