that he stood second in the vote taken
at the primaries sometime ago upon
the question Of filing such vacancies

Alabama in the Senate. At that time
both Senators Morgan and Pettus were
alive, but their advanced age and fee

this in general interest. For Great
Britatn's jealousy of Russian influence

world politics for many generations
The treaty which actually has been
concluded between Russia and Japan
appears to relate mainly to commerce
and the fisheries, but the negotiations
stirl pending are said to cover the
whole field OF territorial rights and in
terests. and we may expect that japan

from the Russian aggression against
which the alliance with Great Britain
was especially directed. Great Britain
was to aid Japan in the Farther East
and Japan was to aid Great Britain If
threatened on her Asian frontier. II
now there shall be a direct agreement
between Russia and each OF the allies

Eastern question will be settled.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the

Until now, at least, England's great
military establishment in India was not

defense against the Russians, steadily

Two explanations Of this apathy are
at hand. One is that the Filipinos are
IoftIly Indifferent to the often asserted
superior!ty of hal; loaf to no bread,
and that they prefer to leave all re
sponsibility on their alien rulers until
they are permitted to govern them
selves without help or interference
That is pretty theory, but it has the
ushtness and frasility Of soap b1b'
HE as well as its Iridescence. Vastly
more probable is the explanation that
the great majority Of the Filipinos
have as little inclination as capacity
for participation in a democratic govern

only the vaguest notions as to what

CHAPTER XIV.
In Honor Of Miss Spencer.

Mr.. Jack Moffat, president Of the
Bachelor Miners Pleasure club, had
embraced the idea OF a reception for
Miss Spencer with unbounded enthu.
siasm. Indeed, the earliest conception
Of such an event found birth within
his fertile brain, and from the first he
determined upon making Il the most
notable social function ever known in
that portion Of the territory.
The large space above the occI-
dental was secured for the occasion,
the obstructIng subdivisions knocked
away. an entrance constructed with an
outside stairway leading up from va
cant lot and the passage connecting
the saloon boarded up. Incidentally,
Mr.. Motfat took occasion to announce
that II ANY snoozer got drunk and
came up them stairs" he would be
thrown bodily out OF window. Mr..
Mcneil, who was observing the pre-
limfnary proceedings with deep inter.
est from pile of lumber opposite,
sarcastically intimated that under such
circumstances the. attendance of club
members would be necessarily limited.
Mr. Moffat's reply it is manitestly i'm
possible to quote literally. Mrs. CUT
fy was employed to provide the requi'
site refreshments in the pa!atial din
Irg.hall Of the hotel, while Buck Ma
son, the vigilant town marshal, popu,
larry supposed to know intimately the
face Of every "rounder" in the terri
tory, agreed to collect the cards OF in.
vitation at the door, and bar out Oh
noxious visitors.
The invited guests arrived from the
sparsely settled regions round about
not q few riding for q hundred miles
over the hard trails. The majority
came early, arrayed in whatsoever ap-
parel their limited wardrobes could
supply, but ready for any wild troltc.
The men outnumbered the gentler sex
five to one, but every feminine repre-
sentative within a radius Of about 50
miles, whose respectabiIity could pos.
sibly pass muster before the inyesdsa'
tons Of a not too critical invitation
committee, was present.
Lieut.. Brant was somewhat delayed
in reaching the scene. Certain MILL
tary requirements We're largely re-
sponsibis for this delay, and he had
patiently wrestlsd with an unsatisfac-
tory toilet, mentally excortating a
service which would not permit the
transportation Of dress uniforms while
on scouting detail.
The dance was already In full swing
when he finally pushed his way
through the Idle lounsers gathered
about the door, and gained entrance to
the hall. Many glanced curiously at
him. attracted By the glitter Of his uni
form, but he recognized none among
them, and therefore passed steadily
toward the musicians stand, where
there appeared to be q few uaoccu-
pied chairs.
The scene was one Of color and &C
/. ton. He watched the speeding hg.
ures, striving to distinguish the par
ticuIar one whose charms had lured
him thither. But among them ~ he
