There has been a noticeable develop

the subject of the renewal of the

have favored the idea of replacing

which would regulate all questions
concerning the Pacific ocean and
China.
This idea appears to be the out
growth of a proposal raised in some
quarters that America be brought
formally into the treaty. and is ad-
vanced because it is considered that
there may be serious drawbacks to
any extension of defensive alliances.

tionS which cluster about Williams

the story which the pageant will tell.
The continuity is the work OF r. G.

studied in order that the historic
authenticity of the dialogue may be
maintained throughout.
The pageant is in five scenes, the
action beginning with the first ses-
sion of the house OF burgeSSeS. Oc-
tober, 1854, and its most dramatic
scene is the presentation of Patrick
Henry's five resolutions. May 90. 1865.
The concluding scene occurs in the

ception rendered the delegates is in
progress A number of beautiful
dances-a stately minuet, lovely

mask-promise to make this scene re-
plete with loveliness.
