 Several important treaties have been negotiated with Great Britain in the past twelve months. 4 preliminary diplomatic agreement has been reach ed regarding the arbitration of pecu- niary claims which each government has against the other. This agree ment, with the schedules of claims rx-IU ns 6A 1v1Ios are arranged. be submitted to the sen ate for approval.
 An agreement Between the United States and Great Britain with regard to the location of the international boundary line between the United States and Canada in Passamaquoddy bay and to the middle of Grand Ma han channel was reached in 8 treaty concluded May ?, 1910, which has been ratified by both governments and proclaimed, thus making unnecessary the arbitration provided for in the previous treaty of April II, 1908
 The convention concluded Jan.

trade relations with the Dominion or Canada which was initiated in the ad- justment of the maximum and mini mum provisions of the tariff act of August, 1909, has proved mutually beneficial. It tustiies further efforts for the readjustment of the commer- cial relations of the two countries so that their commerce may follow the channels natural to contiguous coun- tries and be commensurate with the steady expansion of trade and indus try on both sides of the boundary line. The reciprocation on the part of the Dominion government of the sentiment which was expressed by thin govern ment was followed in October by the suggestion that it would be glad to have the negotiations which had been temporarily suspended during the sam- mer resumed. In accordance with this suggestion the secretary of state by my direction dispatched two represcmb- atives of the department of state. as special commissioners to Ottawa tni confer with representatives of the Dc- minion government They were au-i thorfzed to take such steps for for1rz- lating a reciprocal trade agreement as might be necessary and to receive and consider any propositions which the Dominion government might care to submit.
 Pursuant to the instructions issued conferences were held by these con- missioners with officials of the Domin- ion government at Ottawa fin the early part of November.
 The negotiations were conducted on both sides in a spirit of mutual accom- modation. The discussion of the com mon commercial interests of the two countries had for it's object 8 satisfac tory basis for trade arrangement which offers the prospect of q freer in- terchange for the products of the Unit ed States and of Canada. The confer ences were adjourned to be resumed in Washington in January, when it is hoped that the aspiration of both gov ernments for a mutually advantageous measure of reciprocity will be realized.

MIR. TAFT DEFENDS TARIFF

Iating to Manchuria, signed July 4, 1910, this government was gratif1ed to note an assurance of continued peaceful conditions in that region and the reaffirmation of the policies with respect to China to which the United States together with all other inter- ested powers are alike solemnly com mitted.
 The treaty annexing Korea to the empire of Japan, promulgated Aug %, 1910, marks the final step in process of control of the ancient enl- pire by her powerful neighbor that has been in progress for several years past. In communicating the fact of annexa- tion the Japanese government gave to the government of the United States assurances of the full protection of the rights of American citizens in Ko- req under the changed conditions.
 Friendly visits of many distinguish ed persons from the far east have been made during the year. Chief among these were their imperial highnesses Princes Tsai-tao and Tsai-Hsun of China and his imperial highness Prince Higashf Fushimi and Prince Tokugawa, president of the house of peers of Japan. The secretary of war has recently visited Japan and China in connection with his tour to the Philippines, and a large delegation of American business men are at present travelling in China. This exchange of friendly visits has had the happy eff feet of even further strengthening our friendly international relations.

In October last the monarchy in Portugal was overthrown, provision al republic was proclaimed. and there was set up de fscte government which was promptly recognized by the government of the United States for purposes of ordinary intercourse pend ing formal recognition by this and oth- CT powers of the governmental entity to be duly established by the national sovereignty.

 A disturbance among the native tribes of Liberia in a portion of the re- public duringssthe early part of this year resulted in the sending under the treaty of 1862 of an American vessel of war 10 the disaffectad district. and the .Ltberian authorities, assisted by the good offices Of the American naval officers, were able 10 restore order.

this character are made from time to time
to police Headquarters, and upon iNestl-

Then in 1905, after eleven years of union
ist administration, the most pronounced
change in all the modern history Of Great
Britain took place, a liberal coalition ma
jority of 356 being returned at an cleo
tion which for the first time developed the
political solidarity of the labor party.
The pendulum swung back toward union
ism at the last previous election. with a
total majority for the coalition of 10.
The election just closed yields a net
coalition gain Of one seat. The parties
stand practically as before, with a slight
increase In tho strength of the minor
parties. which now hold the balance of
power In the house of commons. The
liberal and unionist parties stand at pre-
cisely the same strength. &c each The
laborites have gained two, the nationalsts
ent nationalists (OBrienites) have lost one.
This leaves the nationalists of the Red
mond persuasion the only minority party
with the absolute balance of power. a
coalition of laborites and independent ma
uonalists with either of the main
parties would not yield clear majority
of the full strength. There is dispo-
sition on the part OF the minor parties TO
cooperate with the uninnists, who are
Fundamentally opposed to the doctrines
on which the Irish party Is founded, and
also to those underlying the labor party.
The effect of this division of power be-
tween the liberals and their allies is to
compel the former to make common
cause with both the iaborites and the
on questions which those
minor but potential organizations hold
as the chief issues of the day.

The Pilgrim Fathers.

Two hundred and ninety years ago to-
day a few score of intrepid men and wOnl-
en- landed on the New England coast, in
tent upon founding in the new world
home where they might worship God
after their own manner. They were
virtually fugitives from the old world,
and it required q high degree Of courage
and capacity to set forth into what was
then wilderness. peopled by savages,
devoid of comforts and even in part of
the necessities of life. From that small
colony came the great American civiliza-
ton. supplemented by similar settlements
OH other parts Of the eastern coast. mas
much as it was from New England that
the movement for the separation of the
colonies from Great Britain started, the
landing of the pilgrims on the I'D of Dc
cember, 1920. may be regarded as a most
significant date in strictly American his
tory. 1t was the beginning of an exodus
of earnest. energetic, fearless people To
the land Of promise. The political effect
Of this movement has not yet been fully
measured. Ten years hence the three
hhndredth anniversary of the landing vii
doubtless be appropriately celebrated a.
an event of the utmost Importance il
American history.

A Week of Disasters.

This last week before Christmas Is filled
With shocking disasters, which are bring
ing sorrow into many American homes
At d season when all should be gladness
and joy. The other day in New York an
explosion occurred at railroad power
house that destroyed thirteen lives and
caused the injuring of several score. Yes
terday In Cincinnati fire claimed three
human beings. Early this morning in
Philadelphia in the course of a great fire
in the factory district twenty-three men
lost their lives. Today also comes word
from Chicago of a holocaust at one OF
the large packing houses in which fully
twenty lives have been lost. Thus nearly
uhreescOre of human beings have been
sacrificed within three days, and all
needlessly. The fire toll in this country
il a gruesome burden upon the people.
Year by year it mounts, in terms of lives
and property, rejecting shamefully upon
the building methods in vogue and the
administrative efficiency of those intrust-
ed with the care of large properties. This
wInton waste of life and treasure teaches
its lesson so slowly that despair is felt
at times by those who believe that the
American civilization should work out a
higher standard of security.

No Change in England.

The British elections have been finished
after several weeks Of campaigning and
balloting. with q total vote of 5.229,O71.
Following by less than one year the last
previous general election. the result is a
surprising indication that the people of
Great Britain and Ireland remain of the
same political mind. For three elections
in succession now the country has return
ed q liberal coalition parliamentary ma
'jority. that Of 1906 and the two OF 1910.
This is not exceptional In 1882. 1885 and
1857 parliamentary elections returned
liberal majorities. though on a dwindling
scale. In 1S41 the conservatives held
majority. Then for time the political
pendulum oscillated. the liberals winning
by small margin in 1S4I, the conserva-
tives by an equally small margin in 1852.
and the liberals winning again in 1857
Then occurred the longest succession Of
liberal victories at general elections of rec
ord. that party winning in 1889. 1885 and
1855. \ turn back to conservatism occur
red i'm 1874, the liberals having remained
i'm power for twenty-seven years The
conservatives held control for six years
until 1880. when liberal majority was
returned, with an almost equal victory
five years later. In 1885, however, q de-
cided reversal to conservatism occurred,
with reactionary swing toward liberalism
In 1892. In 1885 q conservative victory
Was Scored, followed by another In 1900.

Congress Should Pay the Bills.
the New York World

From the New York World.
Representative Rainey has introduced
resolution for committee to Investigate
the railroad expenses incurred by Mr..
Roosevelt while President, and particu-
larry the matter of transportation fur
nished by the Pennsylvania railroad
Whatever the amount due the railroads,
whether 100000 or less or more, it should
be determined and paid promptly.
None of the railroads has presented j
bill for special trains. private cars, food
or entertainment. They had concluded
apparently; to charge the whole account
to advertising. But Congress cannot ac-
cept that view of the matter. 1t is not
bound by the railroads decision to bear
the expense themselves. 1t cannot per
init their just claims for services rendered
to President of the United States to be
disposed of i'm that way.
The government has adopted the policy
OF strict regulation of the railroads. 1t
exercises vigilant supervision over their
business. Presidential tours undertaken by
Mr.. Roosevelt at their expense meant a
considerable loss to the stockholders. They
represent favors granted to the chief Of
ficer of the government which. the gov
eminent should be the last to counte-
nance or sanction. For obvious reasons
of delicacy no railroad has pressed Tor
payment of its bills, but the obliga ton
remains and the way to wipe it out Is to
treat IL the same any other money in
dehtednes>.
