ANGLO-SAXON TO
RULE EMPIRES.
Wherever There Is Room for
Progress.

LONDON, April Lord Curzon, in
addressing the Pilgrim club here last
night, declared it the mission of the
Anglo-SaXon race to rule empires. The
keynote of his address was:
Field of Progress Is Theirs.
wherever unknown lands exist.
wherever peoples are in state of bar
bariSm, wherever Il new civilization can
be implanted or superimposed on an old
civilization, wherever, i'll fact, progress
and enlightenment is possible, there is
the field for the Angio-SaXon race"
Alter n humorous opening, i'll which
he described the best pilgrimage of his
life as the one he made across the At
Iantlc to persuade one fair American pill
grim TO continue her life pilgrimage in
his company, he remarked that there is
less than an accidental connection be-
tween America and India.
Recalling that Columbus discovery re-
suited from his searching for the sup
posed eastern extremity of India, with
the resultant solecisms, West Indies and
North American Indians. he said Amer
lea could be described as a sort of his
torlcal and geographical afterthought of
India.
Americas New Experiment.
Great Britain, he said, had been en-
gagged for 100 years in the same expert
ueul America Is now undertaking i'll an
other part of the same continent He
thought, despite the wide differences be-
tween the constitutions of America and
India. that there is a greater similarity
between the offices of President of the
United States and viceroy of India than
between the offices of any other two
great functionaries in the world
Having pointed out the resemblances,
Lord Curzon said he was not sure the
ntn-
fluence than the President, he having
committed to his temporary charge 3O0,-
100000 persons of various races, Ian
guages, and religious.
To realize to what extent Great Brit
ain is an Asiatic empire, Lord Curzon
said, it should be recalled that three Of
every four subjects of the King EN-
peror are in India. He imagined the inn
perial fabric to be one in which the colo
MES were the pillars, but in which, high
above all, rested the vastness of the
Asiatic dome.

New Reciprocity Treaty with Cuba Is
Ready in Effort to Remedy
Situation

WASHINGTON, d. c., April Act
ing under instructions from the state de-
partment, Edwin Morgan, American
minister at Havana, has been in con-
ference with the officials of the Cuban
foreign Office for some time for the pur-
pose of framing a new reciprocity
treaty to replace the existing convention.
He has now practically completed his
work and q treaty has been drafted that
may be ready for submission to the Sen
ate before the adjournment of the pres
,ent session.
The reason for the preparation Of the
new treaty is that the officials here have
become convinced that. America is get
ting by far the worst of the bargain
under the present arrangement. While.
nearly all of the exports from Cuba
come to our ports, only a little more
than one-third of the imports into Cuba
are furnished by American farmers and
merchants, Europe furnishing practical
" the balance.

NO FORGED MARRIAGE

The bill which passed the national house of representatives to force the marriage of Arizona and New Mexico aud to admit them to the union as one state will not pass the senate. The other day when Senator Beveredge, who has charge of the bill, requested that there be an early vote on it, Senator Foraker, who has charge of the opPo' sition for the insurgents among the re- publicaus. promptly agreed to the prop ositiou, and challenged Beveredge to permit a vote that minute. Beveredge declined, when Foraker said: "Let us vote tomorrow, the next day, the day following or some day next week. You name it, and we will be ready for the count" Senator Beveredge back ed water then and would not himself agree to that which he had urged upon the opposition.
 Every democratic vote will be cast against the bill, or for amendments, to be offered by Senator Foraker, which will kill it. It will require only l3 re- publicaus to defeat 1t. Sixteen have agreed to stand with Senator Foraker and six more are doubtful. Some of them will oppose it.
 The republican senators who will op- pose the house bill without question are as follows:
 Foraker, Perkins, Flint, Carter, Bur- rows, Alger, McCumber, Hepburn, Platt, Fulton, Elkins, Galiuger, Scott, Clark, of Wyoming; Warren and Bur kett.
 The amendment which Senator For aker will propose, for which at least the l6 republicans named and all the democrats will vote, is one that will permit the people of each territory to vote upon the question of union and providing that unless the voters of each territory favor the proposition, it will fall to the ground. Such au amend ment would kill the bill, because 1t is known that the people of Arizona, certainly, and those of New Mexico, probably, are opposed to it.

SOMETHING TO CONTEMPLATE

There is a phase in the character oi Washington, whose birthday was cele- brated yesterday, demonstrated in hi. life history, that 1t would be we'll for certain people in Alska to contemplate with much seriousness.
 When, in resentment of an attempt to govern them without their consent, the Colonial farmers of New England, untrsined and unlesrned in the art ot war, and crudely armed, joined issues on the field of battle with the we'll equipped, thoroughly practiced and much experienced soldiery of the most powerful nation iu the world, Wash iugton was the wealthiest man in America, and his interests were in a section of the continent far removed from the scene of conflict. His wealth, 
 education, training and social standing were those of an sristocrat. Had he said the word, there was position and power for him with King George and those who would rule Americans from with out. His material interests and those of his close associates cried aloud against being subjected to the uncer- tsinties and probable burdens of gev- ernment directed by the untried wis dom of the masses.
 But Washington considered nothing except the call of duty, and to him duty called where those principles oI government, that Anglo Saxon history had demonstrated to be true and right, were being outraged. The danger to himself and the probable cost counted for naught. His comfort, his property, his social position, his life belonged to the people and their right to work out their own destiny in their own way through seli-goyernmeut.
 There was no selfshness in Washing ton. There was no desire 10 stand in." There was not the slightest ttnge of yellow" anywhere. He stood for right and truth without single "string" to the standing.
 That is what made the. father of his country great, and that is why his ex- ample has made the American people rich-Yery, very rich.
