LAND DEMOCRACY.

Baltimore, Md, May Is. "Old
England is democracy with king;
America is popular monarchy with
president, 4 declared the Rev. DR.,
James Henderson of Ottawa, Ont,
at the Methodist conference yester-
day. The session was devoted chiefly
to a formal reception OF the fraternal
delegates from England, Ireland and
Canada, and DR.. Henderson's address
was the feature.
Early in his talk he hinted at the
possible future domination of the
world by the Asiatics, saying when
English troops in 1853 blew a hole
through the Chinese wall they possi-
bly, did not consider that by making
a hole big enough to let civilization
through they, at the same time, were
making it big enough. to, let. the other
fellows get out.

What Asia may do after it fully
wakes up to the possibilities Of its
powers, few undertake to predict with
any degree Of assurance" he said,
"but the one thing which will serve
most efficiently in counteracting a
hostile uprising of the east against
the west is the spread of the illumin-
ating influence Of Christianity. Build
chain of mission stations along the
shores OF the ancient east and cap
ture every one for Christ"
Christianity, Dr. Henderson de.
clared, had ever been the enemy of
political oppression. Christianity had
made the. constitution of Great Brit
ain possible and was responsible for
the birth of the American republic
Christianity had brought the world to
realization of the fact that institu.
tions were made for man, and not
man for institutions. The speaker
caused loud applause when he declar.
ed in depicting the progress of liber.
ty under the influence of Christia..
civilization: "It is not King Edward
who dictates his wishes to the people
of Canada and to the people of Eng.
land; it is the people of Canada and
the people of England who dictate
their wishes to King Edward. Old
England. God bless her, is a democ
racy with king. America, God bless
her, is popular monarchy with a

WILSON MAY
QUIT CABINET
IOWAN AT HEAD OF AGRICUL
TURAL DEPARTMENT SAYS
HE WILL RESIGN.

Washington, D. c., May 15.-James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, told
some friends yesterday that he has
decided to resign.
Mr.. Wilson holds two records as a
cabinet officer. He is the only one
since the foundation of the govern
ment who has served eleven years
continuously, and the only member of
a cabinet who has served through four
administrations. The secretary said
that he has worked hard, building up
his department from one of compara-
tive unimportance to department in
which the whole country relies.
Mr. Wilson entered President Nc
Kinley's cabinet March 3, 1897, and
has been in the government official
family continuously since that time.
His friends tried to persuade him to
stay at least through the presidents
term. While he would not promise to
reconsider his determination he sair
that he would not resign until he had
consulted them again
If Secretary Wilson goes out there
is little doubt that Clifford Pinchot
will be put in his place. Mr.. Pinchot
is United States forester.

GLOBE
C|RDL|NC TOUR
SPEERY IS ONE OF THE FINEST
sTRATEGIsTs OF NAVY AND
is POPULAR.

San Francisco, May Is. = Rear
Admiral Charles M. Thomas today re-
tires as commander of the Atlantic
feet, being succeeded by Rear Ad-
miral Sperry. Thomas will retire
from the navy in October.
Admiral Speery Is regarded as one
of the finest strategists and tactitians
in the navy, and that is why he has
been selected to take charge of the.
battleships and cruisers for the rest
of the journey around the globe. He is
an expert in his line, one of the most
accomplished officers of the new navy,
thoroughly up-to-date in all branches.
Moreover, he has spent years ahoat
in the Chinese and Pacific stations, to
say nothing of the European station,
and is entirely familiar with all the
condition that will arise as the fleet
continues it's cruise to the far east.
Admiral Speery is a native Of Brook
lyn, but his family moved to Connecti-
cut when he was a youth, and in 1862
he was appointed to the naval acad-
en1y from that state. He had no op-
portunity to take part in the Civil war,
as he did not graduate until 1866.
During the next 20 years or SO he serv-
ed on the Pacific and European sta
tfons.
In 1893 he came to Washington and
was attached for two years to the bu-
reau Of ordnance, as he was an ex-
pert on such matters. In 1894 he be-
came full commander, and FROM
July, 1896, to May, 1893, was stationed
at the New York navy yard. Then the
Spanish war came, but still Speery did
not get his chance to get into fight.
He was attached to the Yorktown as
commander of the vessel and started
across the Pacific to the Chinese stu
ton. But by the time he reached the
other side Dewey had wiped out the
Spanish feet in Manila bay and there
remained nothing in the fighting line
for Speery to do. He became captain
in 1900 and Rear Admiral in 1906.
In a technical way Admiral Speery
has been prominent For two years he
was president Of the war college. He
was member of the general board
Of the joint army and navy board
which considered the question of forti-
fications for the insular possessions OF
the United States. Last summer Ad.
miral Speery served as one of the
American delegates to the peace con,
ference at The Hague.
