l statistics of the exhaustive resources
 of this country were also given The | speaker said that he had confidence in 1 the future of this world, and of the
 next, and that we would continue to
 get better. Cruelty is past art and | greed will be unable to do business i much longer.
 Speaking of the republican party the | governor said that he was republican because that party did something and almost always the right thing. He said that it took the initiative In the move- ment for constitutional reform, and the
 party we'll deserves, if it does not re- ceive the commendation of all the peo- pie of Connecticut.
 Frequent interruptions were made in the course of the speech by the vocif- erous applause and cheering and at the conclusion the demonstration was a rousing one.
 The next speaker was Professor Ber-
 nadotte Perrin of Yale who spoke for
 the university. He said that here was
 the university both visible and invisi-
 ble. Of the former he said that the
 appearance of portions of the 2,500 men
 ill the university on the streets of the
 city, at the public games and in their
 practice for the various athletic teams;
 also the splendid buildings were some
 of the ocular evidences of the presence
 of the university. He said that it should be no matter of regret that 600 young men are sent out from the uni versity each year and thus increase the name and fame of the city of New Haven by their advent in all parts of the world. This was also true of the 12,000 alumni who are scattered in all parts and whose hearts respond to the name of Yale.
 Of the university invisible Professor Perrin said that the achievements of the men of the world were being re- corded and preserved in the great li- braries and most of these were in the universities. He said that by reason of this there was no need for each generation to begin anew in the bat tles of life, but that we could refer to the records of our fathers and then continue on and up. We stand on lofty grounds and view the Beulah heights. For this progress and for these pro- cesses will the state and nation and our posterity be thankful.
 The last speaker was the Rev. George H. Ferris, who on being introduced, said in his characteristic way that he was glad to be introduced as reverend and not doctor as some of the mem- bers had addressed him during the ev- ening." His address was in the main of that humorous nature for which he is justly popular, but there was a seri- ous side to it, as we'll and in this he took occasion to speak of how we should all be prepared for the life that is to come and not rush on without giving some thought to the future.
 In conclusion he said that he was glad to be given the privilege as a sky pilot to enter the den of lions.
 After q round of hearty cheers for each of the speakers the banquet be- came an informal gathering.

Plans Of English Ltbernis.

London, Jan. 16--The Times believes that the liberal amendments to the ad- dress in reply to the speech from the throne challenging the government s war policy will practically reproduce Lord Rosebery's declaratio at Ches- terfield and be entrusted to the Right Hon. H. H. Asquith, with the approval of Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, the liberal leader in the house of commons thus showing that Lord Rosebery's S speech has attained something like unity in the party.

AuER1o tN-eEnm4x RELATIONS.
A Frauk Statement by the Frank furter Xeitung.


 Berlin, Jan. 15.-The Frankfurter Zei- tung publishes to-day a remarkable ed itorial reviewing American German re- lations.
 The paper says these were uninter- ruptedly friendly until German official circles displayed syn1pathes with Spain at the outbreak of the Spanish -Amer- can war. Since that time, the Frank furter Zeitung goes on to say, the Ger man government has reached the con- viction, somewhat slowly perhaps, that the great republic in the west has be- come factor with which Germany must reckon everywhere in Europe, America and Asia. The paper regards the immense development of trade re- lations as facilitating harmonious CO., operation between the two countries.

Producing the Th,rd Lipton Boat.

London, Jan. 15.--After lengthy in- terview held to-day with Sir Thomas Lipton the Associated Press has no reason to doubt the correctness of the arrangement announced that William Fife of Fairlie, on the Clyde, is to build Sir Thomas Lipton's next challenger for the Americas cup. It need only be added that no contracts to this end have yet been signed and that this fact constitutes the basis for the technical denials of the previous announcement.
 It may also be added that the asso- citation of William Fife and George l.. Watson in the construction of the next challenger is likely to be even more in timate than was forecasted in yester- days despatches. These two yacht de- sngers being now apparently willing to form what amounts to a partner ship over Shamrock III That MT. Fife is to have the major share of the work in constructing the new yacht is great ly due to Mir Watson's declination to leave home again for any length of time so long as his mother who is in delicate health, remains alive.
 The denials of the announcement of January IA, appearing in the English newspapers, can be totally disregarded.

 London, Jan. 16.-The Daily Tele- graph, in an editorial dealing with the relations of Great Britain abroad in connection with the reopening of par liament, dwels upon the fact that Anglo American friendship has been cemented by the sympathy evoked by the deaths of Queen Victoria and Presi- dent Mckinley.
 In the course of it's remarks the Tele- graph says: Genuine sympathy was entertained in this country for the United States in connection with the Cuban troubles, and more substantial marks of friendliness which are yet official secrets have helped to smooth them for an honorable and satisfactory arrangement as to the management of the Isthmian canal"

NoT HOPEFUL REPORTS.

The senators who went TO Havana
TO be present at the birth of the re-
public are not so very hopeful that the
republic will be permanent. Accord
ing to some things which they are
quoted as saying the new government
will have some problems to solve
which will test it's ability to MAIN
tain itself to the utmost. Senator
Jones is quoted as saying that If th2
republic lasts two years it will have
a good chance of being permanent.
The senators no doubt saw and
heard much in Havana which left the
impression on their minds that there
was much discomfort, which would
show itself in. an aggravated form in
the near future. No doubt President
Palma did the best he could in franz
ing his cabinet TO get men who would
satisfy all factions, but it is practi-
cally impossible to satisfy all.
A thing that causes President Palma
uneasiness is the condition of the re-
publc's finances. The amount in the
treasury is small, and it is said that
the custom house receipts have shown
a very considerable falling off within
the last month. At present the Gus
tom house is about the only source of
revenue, and it is evident that it will
rot sustain an expensive administra-
ton 1t is for that reason that Pres
ident Palma is urging that salaries
shall be extremely moderate and that
there shall be economy in all of the
departments.
1t is thought that the Spaniards will
be an element Of strength, provided
some consideration is shown them.
They have the bulk of the wealth, and
are conservative. There is some feel
ing against them, however, on account
of their attitude during the war
They can, however. help the republic
wonderfully. and will do so, it is said
if encouraged.

~ A missionary returned from equato-
rial Africa told this story at a minis
ters' club the other night to illustrate
his remark that the bringing of heath
en- into the fold didn't begin to be the
biggest job that the missionary had on
his hands, says the New York Sun.
In this mans territory there was
chief who had resisted every appeal
to make him a Christian. He was big
gest man in a sort of confederation of
savage tribes, and the missionary
knew that if the big chief were once
converted the effect would be felt by
every native within fifty miles. So the
missionary kept after him month in
and month out, in face of every kind
of Indifference and rebuff.
At the end of two yeaxs the mission
airy was all but ready to give up, when
one day the miracle came to pass
the big chiefs heart was touched by
the truths of Christianity. The mis-
siOnary redoubled his efforts, and in
two months more the big chief offered
himself for baptism.
1t looked like a great victory won
until, in examining the new convert,
the missionary discovered that, ac-
cordng to the chiefly prerogative, he
had two wives. The missionary ex-
pressed his horror, indignation and
grief to the chief.
He explained to him how the state of
polygamy was a barrier to any one
who wished to become a Christian.
Then he prayed with him, and the
chief departed, weeping over his I'M
fitness.
But a month later he came again,
joyous, devout and, throwing himself
at the missionary's feet, asked for
baptism.
My brother" said the missionary,
II cannot baptize you while you are
the husband of two wives
mo two wives; just one wife now"
said the chief.
The missionary raised him to his
feet. Here was the true penitent.
MY brother" said the missionary,
you make my heart glad. And what
did you do with your second wife?"
"Um," answered the chief. "She no
good; we want be Kistian; me eat
her."
