many, France and Russia-The Re-
lations OF Great britain and the
United states.
Lord Brassey, an eminent naval au-
thority and president Of the London
chamber Of commerce, has lately been
in Boston looking over the business
and shipping interests, says a Boston
dispatch. In an interview be analysed
the present conditions Of industry and
commerce in England, the relations Of
England to her commercial competitors
and her relations to the colonies and
commented on the relations Of the
/ United States and Great Britain. espe-
elally in China.
He also touched on the growing am
lily between this country and England
and in speaking of naval power he
made the statement that the United
States. with her tremendous resources,
| is undoubtedly destined to be the first
naval power in the world. He predict
ed that, owing to present conditions, at
least a partial disarmament would take
1 place on the continent--in France, Ger
many and Russia.
Regarding the naval supremacy Of
the United States Lord Brassey said:
1T is only a question Of time when
I the fleets Of the United States viii be
raised to the first rank. Potentially the
United States is already incomparably
the greatest naval power In the world
she has the greatest resources, and it
| Is only a question Of policy with her
II it came to a question of competition
| you have greater resources than we
lhave.
Germany has been pushing her
navy with the result that her naval
ambition with other. causes has brought
an exceedingly strained condition Of
German finances. Russia has been liy-
ling on loans from France, but she can
mot borrow any more, and anarchy is
/ rife in that country France has
reached her limit. Retrenchment is the
cry there All this win tend toward
disarmament,
"These expensive af'fhaTnents are the
greatest curse Of Europe and we in
Great Britain have about reached the
limit ourselves. The breaking point has
/ been reached in France. Germany and
Russia, These countries are stagger-
Ing along with an awful load"
Regarding world politics Lord Bras
sey said: I'VE have great hope that in
.he near future Great Britain and the
United States will find It for their
Ioint interests to act more in harmony
+ We are coming nearer all the time
"Our relations with China and the
home government OF China must be
for many years 70 come a subject of
deepest moment to the world. Ger
Iainly If the United states ana Great
Britain act together it will be for the
putual advantage Of both and con-
luciye to civilization The Russian

Mrs. AaSkelns Poem

The following poem was writer
by Mrs. John b, Haskell Of Wake
field, upon the occasion of Colonel S
S, Cotton's eightieth birthday:
In the far-famed Olympic days
Chaplets of laurel leaves they
bound;
And in their loyalty and love
with honor they their heroes
crowned.
We have today victor here,
The race he runs is not yet DER;
But in the broad highway of life
He bears the standard we'll before
So let MS wind a chaplet green
To deck this grand old hero brow !:
Each leaf We twine shall bear a name
Some virtue that we all allow.
The first one of our laurel leaves
Shall stand for joy in this his
crown:
For in his presence we all feel
\ bit of sunshine has come down.
Another leaf Wen join to this
I'm sure you'll all agree with me-
None knows him but to feel its
power,
Tis whole-souled hospitality.
Now kindness goes to make the
crown.
In scattering this he knows no
rest
The poor and weak, the lame and
blind
Shall surely rise and call him blest.
He's mostly honest; but just once
You may perhaps have all forgot
ten
A rule he spread both far and wide
For strawberries preserved in
Cotton.
He's brave never knew him quake
Save when his great grandchild
doth cry.
But this so small a wonder is
Wen twine leaf and pass it by.
He's jovial-so leaf of fun
To make the garland more com
plete
At such festal board as this
The others, sauce; he is the meat.
meat,
He's pure in heart and true and good.
These virtues so to make the
crown.
In courtesy he never fails,
'Iis quite a subject of renown.
The circlet's done-to bind secure
Wen weave a thread OF honor
through
And as we crown him king 'mong
men"
We grant the crowns becoming,
too
And now We bid our host good
night"
Lest soon You vote the musea bore.
Make health and joy and comfort

And may his years be twice four.
