commission ! haven't the slightest
doubt about It. The authority Of the
president in the construction of the
canal is to build the canal, and he has
therefore the right to expend the mon
ey In any way necessary in the pursu-
ance of that purpose. This Is a great
enterprise. involving the moving to
this strip which connects the two
oceans in the far distant tropics OF a
colony of from 10000 TO $4,000 people.
To render them efficient. for the pur-
pose for which they are transported
there, ii is absolutely necessary that
they be surrounded with the influence

mind which win make them efficient

ment has In view in expending these
millions. And l have not hesitated,
therefore, not only 10 authorize the

seriously objected that the protestant
denomination Of the country would re-
sent deeply the establishment even
temporarily, OF what seemed to be Dip
lomatic relations with a church.
Finally the president, after consult
ing the representatives of the leading
protestant denominations, counted up
on the good sense and the religious
tolerance Of the people OF the United
States and concluded to follow the or
binary business principle that when
one wishes 10 accomplish a result he
should deal directly with the person
having the power effectually to agree
upon the result desired and a repre-
sentative was sent. The business. aft
er much negotiation both at Rome and
at Manila, was finally concluded and
no persons were more considerate OF
the difficulties presented and sympa-
thetie with the policy adopted to meet
them by the president, than the prOtes-
tant denominations, whose opposition
had been feared.
i venture to think that fifty years
ago such result would not have fol-
lowed and that the motives Of the
government and of the president would
have been misunderstood or miscon-
sfrued. regard that as one striking
instance OF the greater brotherhood
that now exists between the great

wrenched in two when it was torn
from the trestle by the engine. None
of those in the three rear coaches knew
of the accident or realized how close
they had come to death until several
minutes afterward when the cars, de-
prived of motive power, came to a
stop. "A new schedule went into eff
feet on the road today and to this fact
many probably owe their lives.
Under the new schedule train No. 81
left this city forty-five minutes earlier
and over fifty persons missed the train
for this reason. On account Of the re-
duced number Of passengers all were
placed in the three rear coaches, the
front coach being unoccupied. The
cause of the accident is thus far a
mystery and the railroad officials will
give out no statement until an lnves-
tigation has been made.

thought II especially appropriate for
him TO deliver an address on this Oc-
casion as he had not been particular
" identified, as an individual, with Y.

bered." he said, "the opportunities we

The secretary referred to the great
work which the association was doing
for the elevation and assistance OF

secretary OF war to grant permission
to the " NJ G. "A. to maintain on ali

OF this fact as when the question arose
which had become intensely acute In
the Philippine islands, in regard to
the continued ownership of large
body of agricultural lands by certain
religious orders Of the Roman Catholic
church. BY circumstances not really
connected with religious matters at all,
but growing out Of political conditions,
the Catholic people of the island had
been aroused TO bitter hostility against
ownership OF these lands by the relig-
ious orders and with the restoration of

buy these lands from the friars and
then sell them on easy terms ID the
present tenants. In order to bring this
about, however II was necessary to
secure the consent OF the head of the
