4 PERFECTION BY BRrAY.

William Jennings Bryan, special cor. respondent in Havana of Collier $ Weekly, has examined the state of af- fairs in Cuba, and he feels warranted in making this gloomy prophecy: q predict that Cuba will be the scene of civil war, that internal strife growing out of dissension among the political leaders will temporarily paralyze the industries os the island"
 Others whose opinion is entitled to respect predict trouble in Cuba, and it will not be at all surprising if it is found that the Cubans aren't yet able to go alone. Of course if they get to fighting among themselves their good, kind Un- cle Sam will step in and make them be- have. He has saved them from the Spaniards and if it becomes necessary he will save them from themselves.

was assumed that the entire Republican party would be arrayed against ratiiica- ton. In addition to this opposition, it was assumed that the influence of all the great railroads and other corpora tions would be against ratification, as the corporations are said to be entirely satisfied with the provisions of the Un- derWood Constitution, and that under the new instrument there may be some increase in the taxation now put upon them, On the whole, it seems to have been the conclusion of the convention that the new Constitution must either be proclaimed or else defeated by infu- ences which the majority of the Con- vention did not want to see prevail.
 If the people of Virginia don't want the new Constitution that has been thrust on them they will find some way of getting rid of it, but it is probable that the majority of the Convention fairly represented the majority of those whom the Convention thought entitled to vote,

plant no colonies south of the present
 Alaska and the United States promised to establish none north of Alaska $
 southern line Englands claims were
 based on gllmpses which Drake got of the Pacific coast region of the present
 United States and Canada little over
 three centuries ago, by some discoveries
 by Cook and Vancouver a little over
 one century ago, and by possession of part of it by the British fur-trading
 corporation, the Hudson's Bay compa- ny. The United States claims to part of the region were vastly strengthened by colonization.
 popular war cry of the democrats in the campaign of l844 was Fifty four-forty or fight" the allusion being to the southern boundary of the present Alaska, which is in latitude fifty-four degrees forty minutes The Americans claimed all up to that line, while the British claimed everything down to point below the mouth of the Columbia. The talk about fighting for our rights in the territory, however, subsided soon after Folks election in 1S44, especially as England seemed to be preparing for war, and compromise was reached on the forty-ninth parallel in 1S46, which is the present northern boundary of the state of Washington.
 If the United States had persisted in its claim of the territory up to fifty four degrees forty minutes, and had been able to maintain it in the war which appeared to be coming, England would have been shut out from access to the Pacific on this continent, the United States would have had, ever since the annexation of Alaska in 1867, an unbroken stretch of territory along the Pacific from the southern line of California up into the arctic regions, and the boundary controversy with England and Canada, which is now on, and those which have taken place in the past sixty years in the same locality would all have been averted. .-Leslie's Weekly.

Serving the Writ,

She was q widow, graceful, young,
 And on, so very neat, With swan-like neck, and rosy lips,
 And dainty little feet An attachment issued from the court
 She's failed to pay her rent And to her lodgings, with the writ,
 The constable was sent. The constable-like all his ilk--
 Was a man of tender heart; Who stroye as gently as he could
 His business to impart. He bowed and stammered: Madam, dear
 An attachment I've for you It grieveS me sore to tell you so,
 But ne'er the less 'tis true" Pray do not grieve," the widow cried,
 Tis very fortunate; For this same passion you ayoW
 l do reclDrocate!' But, madam, dear" he stammered forth You do not understand; You must proceed to court forthwith,
 For such is the command" But, my dear sir, l much prefer
 That you would take the lead, For women are so very shy,
 Oh, yes, they are, indeed. vii! be frank; I'll not refuse
 If you the courting do, But pray, do not exact from me
 The part which falls to you" Amusement sat upon hlS brow,
 He gasped to catch his breath; And never will he paler grow,
 Fen in the hour of death. Dear madam, you mistake my words, This paper will explain. You must, forthwith, accompany me To Squire David Baine.' She threw her arms about his neck, And seemed almost to faint, And on the collar of his coat
 Left copious streaks of paint; And cling there, like ivy vine
 About the sturdy oak, Twas full a moment ere again
 Her voice the silence broke. How could you be so very bold As to engage the squire, And even get the license, too,
 Without knowing my desire?" With giant strength, he tore away And ran like gazelle, And sWore he'd never serve that writ No matter what befell.

PEACE IN SIGHT.

It is now apparently certain that the
 brave Boer leaders are wise enough not
 to persist in dying in the last ditch when such dying will do no good and 1 will prevent them from being further useful in this world. It is officially"
 announced that document containing terms of surrender has been signed at Pretoria by all the Boer representa- tives, as well as by Lord Miner and Lord Kitchener This ends the war again, and this time the end seems cer- tain to be the end. It is good news, and the whole civilized world will be pleased by it. The Boers have made a. good fight, and they have no reason
 to be ashamed of the outcome. They
 have been overwhelmed, and ought to have given up some time ago. It may be long time before they love the British, but it is probable that they will be treated pretty well. They ought to be, for they have shown themselves to be of the stuff that makes good citizens, and England will do well to make them her friends if it is possible to do it.
 It has been said that King Edward was anxious to have peace declared be- fore his coronation, He is to be con- graduated on the situation, and so are his subjects. They have had sad dening and a costly experience.

VIRGINr4's CoNsTITU7ToN.

| The Virginia Constitutional Conven- | tion had much longer session than
 the Connecticut Constitutional Conven- tion, it's deliberations" were more stormy, and it's results not more popu- lar. Its action in deciding to proclaim the new Constitution was rather en in direct defiance of a resolution passed by the Democratic State conven- ton in 1900. It was due to the action of
 that convention that the Constitutional Convention was called, and it pledged the party that the Constitution when formulated should be submitted to the people The Constitutional Convention was almost unanimously Democratic, and many of it's members had been members of the State convention and had voted for the platform pledge. But after careful consideration of the mat tionai Convention represented the soy ereignty of the people, it should not be bound by the action of any party con- vention. The majority which made this decision, however, was a small one and was reinforced by the votes of ? of the Il Republican members.
 Under the provisions of the new Con- stitution, a large number of the negroes will be deprived of their votes If the Constitution had been submitted to these of course they would have voted against it, and as the Republican party would have lost these votes it

COSTL NSP0RTS.

| The special report on the transport
 service which has just been submitted
 to congress by Secretary Root is not
 cheering. It shows that there has been
 gross extravaganza, to put it mildly, in this branch of the service. When the
 war with Spain broke out the War de- partment sent out agents to pick up available steamers to be converted into army transports. In the course of a couple of months big fleet had been assembled, the government buying in all twenty-four vessels. Several of these were not bought until the war was almost ended, but the great ma- jority were bought during the height of excitement incident to war and conse- quently the department was forced to pay considerably more than the ships were worth in certain instances. The sum of $7,770,344 was expended in gath ering together the twentyfour vessels And that was only the beginning. Af- ter the buying of the ships S9, 936 001. .55 were expended in repairs and general equipment of them, or over $2000, ,000 more than was originally paid for the entire feet The case of the transport Sumner seems to have been the most outrageous. She cost the War depart ment originally s16O,594, but the army officers managed to expend S7O6654, or more than four times her original cost, in fitting her up for service. And one company was paid the following amounts for work on different ships: $366, 900 on the Crook, $4000 on the Egg bert, SS4000 on the Ingalls, $499000 on the Fitzpatrick, $67,0OO on the Logan $6S, 900 on the Mcclellan, $4OO, 900 on the Meade, $10,O0O on the Relief, $255,OOO on the Sedgwick, s2S6,OO0 on the Sheridan, $7, 900 on the sherman and SPA GOO on the Thomas.
 We have bragged great deal about our work in the Spanish war but this doesn't seem to justify much blowing.

On the night of the coronation and on the night after two crowns of flame will dominate the region of Westminster from the eminence of the great tower of the new Roman Catholic Cathedral in London. The last bricks will be in position by then, and the completion of the outer fabric of the great fane will indirectly be celebrated by the two circles of light lifted on it's topmost pin nacle in honor of the crowning of the King and the Queen. The idea is that of the Duke of Norfolk who is presi- dent of the Catholic Union, and who will have as his guest during coronation week the envoy of Pope Leo XIII.

Pacific Coast From Gulf of California

 In the old controversy of 1S1S-46 with England regarding the title to what was then comprehensively called the "Oregon country" covering not only the present states of Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho, but all the present Brit ish territory on the Pacific coast up to Alaska, the United States contended that its title to all of that region was perfect. Its title was based upon the discovery of the Columbia river by the Yankee skipper, Captain Gray in 1792, by the exploration of the Columbia and its tributaries in 1S05-6, by the erection of Astor's fur trading factory at Asto- ria in 1911, and by a treaty with Russia in SPA, in which Russia promised to

The selection of flag for the St Louis exposition has been narrowed down to two designs, and these have been submitted to the board of direc- tors so that a choice may be made. The size of the flag is SKIS feet. One has blue bar next the staff, covering about one-fourth the field of the flag, and carrying a giant white f1eur- -de-lis. The remainder of the flag consists of three longitudinal red, white and vel low stripes, the white stripe, in the middle, having blue stars one of each State in the Louisiana territory. The other design is all blue, with the eX- ception of broad cross which divides the field into equal sections. The hori- Zontal bars of this cross are yellow, the vertical red, with a large fleur-de-lis at the intersection. A circle of white stars, one for each State and territory in the Louisiana purchase, surrounds the f1eur-de-lis The four colors, red, white, blue and yellow, are all the colors of the three nations, France, Spain and the United States, under whose sover- eighty the Louisiana territory had been at different times.

The French parliamentary groups of radicals, radical-socialists and social- ists find that their position in the Chamber of Deputies was much im- proved by the recent elections. The elections of 1898 gave them a total of 235 seats, while those of this year give them total of 276 seats. The elections of 1893 gave them total of I'll seats.

Perhaps China does remember what we did for her. In the month of April this country exported to China nearly 33,OO0,000 yards of cotton cloth, which is about three times the amount exported one year ago. The total for the past ten months is in excess of 372000,00 yards, which is more than double the amount of cotton cloth that the Chinese during any former year.

The people of Berlin are protesting against set of recently issued police regulations connected with their dogs. Some weeks ago dog was killed on the ground that 1t was suffering from rabies and since then all dogs in Berlin have had to be led by chain or string-and are still subjected to this regulation; failing which they were condemned to death. The register of dogs in Berlin numbers fifty thousand, and since the promulgation of the new rule about hundred have been destroyed. But the difficulty does not end here. No dog may leave the confines of the city for the country without a properly drawn up passport or certificate of health, which has to be obtained from some po- lice officer. Public meetings have been held to remonstrate against this unrea- sonable form of precautions that has been ordered, but to no purpose.
