SOUTH AMERICA
TO GREET FLEET
ROYAL WELCOME FOR UNCLE
SANS MIGHTY ARMADA.
MONROE DOCTRINE CHAMPION
John Barrett, Director Of Bureau of
American Republics, Emphasizes
Important Effect on Countries
South of us. Rios Great celebration

Madison, W1s-The beneficial IL
feet Of the Pacific cruise now being
made by Rear Admiral Evans big
fleet on the relations of the Latin
American representatives to the Unit
ed States was pointed out by john
Barrett, in an address before the
American Political Science Assocla-
tion in session here Mr.. Barrett,
now director general Of the Interna-
tional Bureau Of American Repub-
lies, and formerly United States mic-
lister to Argentina, Colombia and Pan
anna, spoke on "The new South Amer
lea, and its relations to the United
States'
Continuing after reviewing the de-
velopment of South America and
speaking Of the high Importance TO
the United States of maintaining corl-
mercial control and moral influence,
in competition with Europe in the re-
publics, Mr.. Barrett said:
"One Of the most important ef-
fects, if not the principal reason Of
the sailing of the battleship fleet to
the Pacific has been almost overlook
ed in the constant discussion the
effect on Japan and that is the i'm
preston created in South America.
"We have failed to note that the
great newspapers and leading men OF
our sister republics, are giving even
more attention to the movement of
the armada than are those of our
oriental neighbors.
''The powerful and progressive re-
publics of South America, like Brazil,
Argentine and Peru, which are fast
becoming world powers, are not only
welcoming the coming Of the ships
and applauding this vast and unique
naval undertaking, but are planning
10 give the fleet a reception that will
not. be surpassed rin-sor assality, ea-
- asgse and extent by any reception
that snfy be accorded them later oa,
either Of our own Pacific coast, or
in the ports Of the Orient.
"At Rio Janeiro and again at Cal
lao, Peru Rear Admiral Evans fleet
will be greeted and treated as the
real representatives Of the naval
strength Of the United States, as See
retary Root was the true envoy Of the
new diplomacy of the United States,
which politically, commercially, his
toricalEy and geographically is the
natural ally and friend Of all South
America.
"In short, the voyage around South
America Of this fleet, while not in
any way intended or planned to I'M
press South America, and therefore
all the more appreciated by them, will
establish beyond a doubt or issue,
one point often discussed in South
America, which doubts the strength
and capacity of the United States as
compared to Europe, that if ever the
necessity should come, which God for
bid, the United States could enfor .e
and maintain its position with the
Monroe doctrine as a strong living
issue, never to he forgotten in the
competition of nations for power aud
influence on the western hemis-
phere.''

MINE OWNERS JUBILANT.
Over New Turn Of Affairs and Boast
of Their Future Success.

Goldfield.-Captain W. J. Cox, the
personal representative Of Governor
Sparks received from the governor a
telegram, saying that he is enieavor
ing to learn the feeling Of the people
of the state in regard to special
session of the legislature. Ever since
the report that President Roosevelt
had consented to permit the troops
to remain in Goldfield, provided the
governor would call an extra session,
the feeling on both sides has been
that the troops will remain and that
the governor can hardly refuse to ig-
more the call. The indications are
that the call will be issued.
The mine owners are jubilant over
the new turn of affairs, and while
refusing to say what their program of
procedure will be, openly assert that
they will now be in position to car
ry every point they have contended
for.

To ORPHANS
SENT TODAY

Jackson, Miss, November 29.-On
local freight train of the Illinois Cen
trail, a special car will be carried
from McComb City to Jackson for the
purpose of gathering up donations of
food and clothing for the two local
UNCONVENTIONAL orphanages. While
the car is sent out, through the cour-
tesy of the railroad company, under
the auspices of the Baptist Orphan
age, the word has gone out that dona-
tons will be received for the Metho-
dist institution as well, and those peo-
pie living along the line desiring to
make contributions to either institu-
ton have been asked to have them
on the platform at the railroad sta
ton nearest them, ready to be picked
up by the special car without delay.
There are more than 800 children
in the two institutions, and as it re-
quires a good deal of food and cloth
ing to go around, this method was
adopted several years ago, with most
satisfactory results. Last year it be-
came necessary to attach a second car
to the train before it reached Jackson,
so liberal were the contributions.
There are more children this year,
and a still greater increase in dona-
lions is expected.
