the question of Spanish friars in the Phil

education. Some of the members of the

for the parochiaI schools.

yesterday arranging details for the coming

Assistant Secretary of State Peirce shall
go to New York the latter part of the

behalf of this government and the Presi-

by the President at oyster Bay will depend
largely upon the time which is at the dis

at New York and its departure for Van
couver. The original plan gave the prince
only next Sunday in New York, but there

the party at New York may be prolonged
beyond Sunday, but this cannot be deter
mined until he arrives, and in the mean
time the details of such reception as will
be accorded him are in abeyance.

Restrictive Legislation Expected.

No one in financial New York believes 1t
is possible in this day and generation TO
make crusade to overthrow these combi-
nations entirely, whichever party is in
power. They regard the combination as an
incident of modern commerce and trade. 1t
fiourishes in free trade England to a greater
extent than in protection America. It is
d condition, they say, which must be reck
oned with and acknowledged. Populistic
cures for trust evils would result, they
say, in the party which applied them being
swept from power in the succeeding cleo
ton.
In the last analysis of the question finan-
cial New York holds that there will of ne
cessity be restrictive legislation in the
near future provided one party controls
the executive and legislative branches of
the government. In that view of the situa
ton it is claimed that the legislation must
be temperate and enacted with the coop
Grafton of the industrial combinations.
They don't know what the President has
in mind. They do know, they say, that
whatever he has in mind 1t Will not be
effected until they have had a hearing in
court. There will be lively times in Con-
gress when the trust bill comes up, or else
financial New York is bluffing.

No Request From the English.

Captain Potter's dispatch relative to the
expected seizure Of the British steamer was
communicated by the naval authorities to
the State Department, as 1t was thought to
involve the possibility of international COM
plications. The State Department had re-
ceived no direct advices from Consul Gud-
ger, but as a matter of courtesy the in
formation contained in Captain Potter's dis
patch was communicated to the British
charge de affaires. Mr.. Percy Raikes, who
is now at Bar Harbor. 1t remains to be seen
what steps, If any, the British authorities
will take, either in protecting their own
interests or in requesting our good offices.
No response from the British charge had
been received during the early part of the
day, and it is probable that some hours
will elapse before he can communicate with
the authorities at London.

Must Await Request for Aid.

The presumption al the Navy Department
is that the appearance of the revolutionary
war vessel off the harbor alarmed the gov
ernment authorities, and, having no ship
at hand to meet her, they proposed to press
the Quito into service possibly for the pur-
pose of arming her and sending her out to
meet the insurgent vessel. When the prop
erty of one nation is threatened in this
fashion in the absence of a warshfp of that
particular country it is customary for a
warship Of a friendly nation, when ap-
pealed to, to protect the property of the
country requesting aid.
But it is not proper for warship of one
country to proffer protection unless for
mally requested to do so. Instructions to
that effect were Immediately sent to Com
mander Potter, and If the British consul at
Panama should appeal to the Ranger for
assistance to prevent the seizing of the
Quito Commander Potter will be expected
to adopt the same method to prevent seiz-
ure which he would If the Quito were an
American ship. The situation is considered
critical If Commander Potter's information
as to the contemplated action of the au-
thorities should prove to be correct.

A CONTEMPLATED COUP
INQUIRY FROM PoTTER-INTER-
ESTING SITUATION AT PANAMA.
Instructions Sent to the Commander
of the Ranger-Awaiting
Request fer Aid.

A very interesting situation has devel-
oped at Panama, which may result in a
call upon the United States to protect Brit
ish interests there. Several days ago the
governor OF Panama requested Commander
Potter of the United States gunboat Ranger
to leave the harbor and go in search of the
Colombian warship Boyaca, which was
supposed to be in distress either through
breakdown of her machinery or from hav-
ing fallen in with Que of the revolutionary
vessels, and this permission was granted.
But yesterday Commander Potter reported
that he would not go to sea because of the
appearance off the harbor of a revolution
ary ship. Today he cabled that he had
been informed that the governor Of Pan
anna contemplated seizing the British ves-
sci Quito, and there being no British war
ship at Panama he asked for instructions
as to what course to pursue.

New Bills For Old Ones.

Not every one is aware of just what
the United States subtreasury will do
for person with soiled currency. If
any one has such bills, in no matter
how small quantity, and wishes to get
brand new bills, all he has to do is to
go down to the subtreasury and hand
the old currency over the counter. The
government will hand him in return
new bills of any desired denomination.
Perhaps under strict Interpretation
of the law the government clerk might
refuse certain bills on the plea that
they were still fit for circulation, but
in practice the government is inclined
to be very obliging. and. unless the sup,
ply of clean money on hand should
happen to be temporarily short. the
clerk will without Hesitation hand over
perfectly new and unfoIded bills in re.
turn for money which has been folded
possibly only very few times.
AS a matter of fact vast amount
of money is turned in which could not
have circulated among more than half
dozen hands, But it is all redeemed
and the new currency issued in ex-
change. The subtreasury supplies the
new cash, too, without any expense,
no matter if millions are to be ex-
changed. New York Times.

Didn,t Fear His Dead Patients.

There issa doctor of tie old school in
one of the New England villages near
Randolph, Mass, whose house is sur
rounded by a cemetery. The cemetery
is behind the house and comes up flush
with the road on either side, running
off to east and west for an eighth Of a
mile. Some people might find such a
house lot doleful. and surely the neigh
-bors are not lively. But that thought
never troubled the villagers SO much as
the prospect Of going home at night.
In the country towns Of New England
the graveyard at night is still thing
Of terror, an Inherited terror. There
are still towns where all the graves are
dug on a line running due east and
west, with the footstones toward the
east so that the dead may rise face to
face with the Judge on the last day So
the doctor is often asked the question,
"Are you not afraid to go home some
times at night I"
And his answer is always the same:

me. They all owe me money. New
