volve on the Lieutenant-Gov
The only disqualification you sug-
gest Is the absence OF the Governor
from the State. Absence from the
State does not show inability to per-
form the duties or that they cannot
be performed. and are not being per-
formed. while the Governor Is QUE OF
the State. Furthermore. the state
ment attributed to the Secretary OF
State is not an official determina-
ton that the Governor is thereby
unable TO discharge the powers and
duties Of his office; nor does such
a statement show that he is not dis
charging the powers and duties Of
his office.
In conclusion will say that there
is nothing whatever in either OF your
letters tending 70 show that the
powers and duties OF the Governor
have devoived upon the Lieutenant
Governor.
Yours very truly.

 There is peace treaty under which, if the two governments cannot agree, they will resort to a commission which would investigate and report and recommend a settlement, and which, if the treaty was observed, would give at least one years time for reflection before a breach of the peace took place on that particular quarrel"
 It was his conclusion that these two great democracies never would go to war if they observed that treaty. There should be general agreement with this conclusion, not so much because the wish is father to the thought, but because the fate of white civilized supremacy on this earth is in the hands of these na- tions.
 Lord Grey offers the additional agreeable assurance that the Anglo Japanese treaty makes it clear that in the event of qurrel between Japan and any other nation with which Britain had treaty of arbitra- tion there was no obligation on Brit ain to do other than carry out that treaty of arbitration. It was Brit aims understanding with Japan that that clause in the Anglo-Japanese alliance applied to the particular treaty afterward made with the Unit ed States.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
