The music department has one OF
the best instructors IN Miss Jennsr,
who has prepared herself both in
music and in a literary way to pro-
mote her to the best positions in our
large towns and cities. Leakesville
is indeed fortunate in securing such
fine talent, and should realize what
a splendid opportunity is now given
for educating, In the finest of fine
arts, music.
No one is awakened to the best
interest of the school, pupils, and
general welfare of high class, noble
work more than Miss Jenner.
The program rendered was one OF
exceptional merit. and culture, be-
cause all the selections given, from
the tiny beginner to the advanced
pupil showed careful training. Every
piece was given from memory in g
scientific, and studied manner. In

colony of Sierra Leone, where the COM
mission was received and conferred

1t will be remembered that the in

examination by the department OF

suit some helpful measures, in which
case ii may be my duty again to invite
your attention to this subject.
The Norwegian government, by a
note addressed January 26, 1909, to the
department of state, conveyed an inyi-
tation to the government of the United
States to take part in a conference
which, il is understood, will be held in
VI 11dICii, l0IU. LOT the puT-
pose of devising means to remedy ex-
listing conditions in the Spitzbergen
islands.
This invitation was conveyed under
the reservation that the question of
altering the status of the islands as
countries belonging to- no particular
state, and as equally open to the citi-
zens and subjects of all states, should
not be raised.
The European powers invited to this
conference by the government of Nor
way were Belgium, Denmark. France.
Germany. Great Britain. Russia, Swe-
den and The Netherlands.
The department of state, in view of
proofs filed with it, in 1906, showfng
the American possession, occupa tion
and working of certain coal bearing
lands in Spitzbergen, accepted the in
vitation under the reservation above
stated, and under the further reserva-
tion that all interests in those islands
already vested should be protected, and
there should be equality Of opportunity
for the future. 1t was further pointed
out that membership in the Conference
on the part of the United States was
Qualified by the consideration that this
government would not become a Sig

My meeting with President Diaz and
the greeting exchanged on both Ameri-
can and Mexican soil served, / hope, to
signalize the close and cordial rela-
tions which so we'll bind together this
republic and the great republic imme-
diately to the south, between which
there is so vast a network of material
interests.
l am happy to say that all but one

our relations with Venezuela have been
settled within the last few months and
that, under the enlightened regime now
directing the government of Venezuela,
provision has been made for arbitration
of the remaining case before The
Hague tribunal.
July 80, 1909, the government of Pam
anna agreed. after considerable negotia
tion, to indemnify the relatives of the
American officers and sailors who were
brutally treated, one of them having.

police this year.
The sincere desire of the Panama
government TO do away with a situa-
tion where such an accident could oc-

compliance with which this government
has lent the services of an officer of the
army to be employed by the govern
ment of Panama as instructor of police.

To avoid ceaseless vexations it is
proper that in considering whether
