TRADE CONDITIONS. R. C. Dunn & Co's Monthly Review of Business in Southern California. The news of the American victory at Manila has given confidence in the national strength, and the uncertain waiting attitude of the business world for the past few weeks is already giving way. The feeling that the war will not last long is influencing all markets. The sensational rise of wheat is due to evident shortage of foreign wheat shown in France and Italy by removal of duties and in Russia by prohibition of export. No such demand for wheat was ever known. Demand for steel plates and other iron products continues very large. Textile establishments have been helped by government contracts and a somewhat better outside demand. Money market is easier and everywhere are unmistakable signs of trade improvement. Throughout our immediate section jobbers report business good and retail merchants with few exceptions are satisfied with trade movements. While some crops in certain sections are a failure and the output of others contracted, the situation is not so serious as generally supposed. The rain of the month helped the outlook. While it came too late for hay and grain crops, it did good service to fruit and vegetable crops, and was of appreciable value to water supplies for irrigating purposes. It also made possible the replanting of some sugar beet acreage. Chino ranch reports of the 4200 acres planted, 3000 acres will produce a good crop of sugar beets. The orange market East is indifferent, seedlings declined during the month under heavy shipments. Lemons are advancing, foreign shipments of course will be lessened, but it is believed that California will be fully able to supply the United States markets this summer. The Eastern demand for dried fruit is more active. Old stock is pretty well exhausted on this coast, so quotations are more or less nominal. Raisins of low grades are bringing $20 a ton for stock feed. The new element in the raisin markets will benefit price market for higher grades. Honey is firm and advancing. Cereals are strong, supplies in the State running low. Beans are very firm. The failure of this year's crop and prospects of large demand have set them on the price up-grade. Jobbing trade is reported quiet, country distribution being hand to mouth, collections slow. Retail trade has been good up to middle of April, but dropped off since. There were 15 failures in the district in April; liabilities, $33,000; assets, $8000. In April, 1896, there were eight to the Philippine islands more than ordinary interest. The fact that Spain was negotiating to sell them to Japan for $20,000,000 and as they have an annual trade of about $60,000,000, gives value to the prizes of our navy. These islands were discovered by Magellan in 1521, when his ship first circumnavigated the globe, carrying out Columbus' theory of the rotundity of the earth. The Philippines are part of an archipelago in the southeast of Asia and are about 1200 in number. From California to Manila is about 700 miles across the Pacific ocean. They are separated on the northwest from China by the China sea. From Manila to Hong Kong is about 600 miles. All the Philippines together have an area variously estimated from 120,000 to 150,000 square miles. This area is not quite so large as California but is about the same as Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin combined. Some of the islands are unexplored and unsurveyed to this day. The population of the Philippines is about 5,000,000 of people. The Philippines, generally, are hilly and mountainous, with abundant evidence of the operation of volcanic forces. The climate is tropical, and immense forests of ebony, ironwood, cedar, gum trees and bamboos spread over the island. Some parts of the country are exceedingly rich, fertile and beautiful. Oranges, cocosnuts, guavas, citron and bread fruit are supplemented with bananas, pineapples, sugar cane, coffee, cotton and tobacco. In the way of minerals, iron, copper, coal and gold in limited quantities, have been found, but little has been done in the line of development. Manila, the principal city, seaport and capital of the islands, being the residence of the Spanish viceroy or governor, is situated on the island of Luzon, and has a population of 245,000. This is the seat of Spanish power, and here are found the great majority of the comparatively small numbers ofSpanards resident in the Philippines. Spain claims to have converted 2,500,000 of the natives to the Roman Catholic faith. These people dwell in the towns and cultivate the lowlands. The mountainous districts are inhabited by a negro race, many of whom wander about like gypsies, without fixed habitation. They are the principal traders on the islands. In the way of trade and manufactures there is little to be said. The manufactures consist of a variety of textile fabrics, silk, cotton, hats, mats, baskets, ropes, coarse pottery and cigars. From 1875 to 1880 the American trade with the islands increased from 101 vessels to 164. The value of the imports rose from $11,987,163 to $25,493,-199 and the exports from $14,837,-796 to THE COLONEL HAS HS SAYS Co. L of Santa Ana Was in Danger Being Sent Home. We have been requested to publish the following copy of a telegram received by Nate Ulm of Santa Ana from Col. Berry, commanding the Seven regiment at the Presidio. When the roster of regimental officers was made up shortly after the troops arrived at the Presidio, it was found that no name of Second Lieutenant Greenlead had been substituted by that of Ulm. The members of the company had yet been formally accepted into the regular army, and the boys rebelled against the deposition of Greenlead who had been regularly elected to position by the company. Ulm resigned at once, and returned to Santa Ana Greenleaf was reinstated, and the meeting was over. Much unfavorable comment was casioned, derogatory to Ulm, who sires that the following telegram from the Colonel be given publicity: PRESIDIO: SAN FRANCISCO CO., May 11, 1898. Mr. N. A. Ulm, Santa Ana. Dear Sir: You telegram received you had absolutely nothing do with the matter of your appointment as Lieutenant of Co. L. For what we done in that connection I am personally and solely responsible. I shall make any explanation in regard to that matter. If Co. L had been sent home it would probably have dawned on so people that they had madeools themselves. It may never be known exactly how close this came to being done. JOHN R. BERRY INAUGURATION DAY. A Constitutional Change Based on Washington Weather—Arguments for the Change. What is known as Senatorial resolution 83, otherwise "the Chandler amendment," proposes an alteration in the Federal Constitution, which in order to become effective must secure (as it is generally believed that it will) the assent of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the States. There are now forty-five States and the assent of two-thirds means the approval of thirty, a larger number than there were in the whole country fifty years ago, when, in May, 1848, the proposition to admit Wisconsin as a State was passed upon favorably, the number previous to that time being twenty-nine. The proposed constitutional amendment makes—beginning in 1901, following the next Presidential election—April 30, instead of March 4 the inauguration day. It is a peculiar circumstance, which students of American history have not failed to observe, that while the provisions of the Constitution regarding the method of choice of the President are somewhat vague and indefinite, the provision, which is Article XII of the amendments, for the inauguration of the President on "the 4th day of March next following the election" is explicit. As to the choice of the President, it is provided only that each state shall appoint "in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct," a number of electors equal to the total number of Congressmen allotted it, Senators and Representatives. There may be a popular vote for these electors, as in most States there is, but this is not obligatory. The Legislature itself may choose the electors, without the intervention of the voters, except in so far as this action is prohibited by State constitutions. In some States at present (Colorado conspicuously) women vote for Presidential elections on the same terms as men, and in some States even aliens, not yet citizens of the United States, participate in such choice of electors. While this branch of the matter of Presidential elections is left without any general rule, the time for inaugurating the President is a part of the organic law of the country, and cannot be altered except by formal change in the Constitution, as is now proposed. It is a somewhat curious fact, too, in connection with this agitation for a change, that April 30 was originally the inauguration date. George Washington, the first President, was inaugurated in New York City on April 30, 1789. The second inauguration in Washington, however, was on March 4, 1793, and the twelfth article of the amendments which prescribes March 4 as the date, was proposed in the first session of the Eighth Congress, and was adopted on Sept. 25, 1804. Spain claims to have converted 2,500-000 of the natives to the Roman Catholic faith. These people dwell in the towns and cultivate the lowlands. The mountainous districts are inhabited by a negro race, many of whom wander about like gypsies, without fixed habitation. They are the principal traders on the islands. In the way of trade and manufactures there is little to be said. The manufactures consist of a variety of textile fabrics, silk, cotton, hats, mats, baskets, ropes, coarse pottery and cigars. From 1875 to 1880 the American trade with the islands increased from 101 vessels to 164. The value of the imports rose from $11,987,163 to $25,493,-319 and the exports from $14,837,796 to $23,450,285. Little has been done in the way of education. Several daily newspapers of a sickly growth are published in Manila, but the press is under strict civil and ecclesiastical control. The discussion of political questions is forbidden. As already mentioned, comparatively few Spaniards reside in the islands. The principal business of the "home government," is shown by her history everywhere and in every age in dealing with her colonies. Is to get everything she can possibly squeeze out of them, and give in return a reign of corruption, robbery, cruelty and oppression. Porto Rico a Rich Prize. With the capture of Porto Rico this country has secured one of the richest of the Spanish colonies as well as the finest harbor facilities to be found anywhere in the West Indies. This island lies seventy miles east of Hayti, and forms an irregular parallelogram 108 miles long and 37 broad, having an area of 3530 miles. From east to west the island is traversed by a range of hills, the highest peak of which is El Yunque, with an altitude of 3600 feet. In the lowlands north of the range of hills there is almost a superabundance of rainfall while south of these hills severe droughts occur and artificial irrigation is employed. The island is however, exceptionally well watered by 1300 streams, of which 47 are considerable rivers. Besides the two staples—sugar and coffee—tobacco, cotton, maize, yams, plantains, oranges, cocoanuts, are commonly cultivated on the island. Rice, which is the principal food of the laborers, is grown without flooding. The lowland pastures feed vast herds of cattle, which furnish the meat supply of St. Thomas and the French islands. The exports of Porto Rico are more than double those of Jamaica, the annual shipments including over $6,000 worth of sugar and molasses; coffee,$7,000,000; honey,$750,000; tobacco,$600,000. Large quantities of salt also gold, iron, copper and coal and other products valued at about $15,000,000. The export trade of Porto Rico with its area of 3530 square miles is greater than all the 1400 islands of the Philippine group with an area of 120,000 square miles. The population of Porto Rico is between 800,000 and 1,000,000 about half of which are colored. Among the people of European origin are Spaniards, Germans, Swedes, Danes, Russians, Frenchmen, Chuetas, and Chinese. San Juan, the capital, which Admiral Sampson has bombarded lies on north coast on the small island of Morro and is connected to the mainland by bridges. The population is about 40-,000. The fortifications are rather antiquated, though recent additions of modern guns give them considerable sands of Mohmunda. The wounded wife lying under a wall exposed to torrents rain hurled down at them from houses near. It seemed impossible to any relieving force could come to take aid before daybreak or that he had handful of Buffs could hold out much longer. Their ammunition was running short. Then Lever heard one woman officer ask another," How many she have you got in your revolver?" "O two." "Then don't waste them," chap; keep one for me, the other yourself." When ammunition was so nearly haunted that no orders were given fire until the enemy could be distressing seen a sudden rattle of irregularity was heard on one side of the village followed by savage yells, but no sound. The few Buffs holding a post that direction stood with rifles levy ready to fire volleys directly a rush attempted. The commotion came nearer and just as the noncommissioned fice in charge of that post had command to "present" on his lips flame from a native gun flashed bristling steel. British bayonets been doing their grim work there in darkness so silently that nobody thought friends were so near. The relief came.

But Topnoody never smiled,and breakfast was finished in silencecept an occasional chuckle from Mopnoody's end of the table.-Pears Weekly. History of a Brave Bird.

It is a somewhat curious fact, too, in connection with this agitation for a change, that April 30 was originally the inauguration date. George Washington, the first President, was inaugurated in New York City on April 30, 1789. The second inauguration in Washington, however, was on March 4, 1793, and the twelfth article of the amendments which prescribes March 4 as the date, was proposed in the first session of the Eighth Congress, and was adopted on Sept. 25, 1804. The reasons now advanced for its change to the original date are chiefly meteorological and based upon the weather conditions, which are most unsatisfactory and even dangerous in the city of Washington in early March. Incidental to the inauguration of a President there are, of course, many changes in the Federal administration (though these are fewer than heretofore), of which he is the chief. Thousands of sightseers are drawn to the national capital at this period, along with those whose presence is required or, if not always required, is certainly desired and it is believed generally, and the weather conditions in Washington favor this view, that April 30 would be a more appropriate time for such observances and festivities as the inauguration of a president. Against the choice of this date, however, is one objection, which, though not urged in the Senate is likely to be brought up for consideration in the various States. It is this: The President is voted for on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. From that time until the inauguration four months elapse—four months of uncertainty, indefiniteness, negotiation and active political rivalry. During these four months the outgoing Administration is practically helpless to coordinate any policy or to carry out any plans. These devolve upon its successor. The proposed constitutional amendment would add to this period of uncertainty nearly two months, and it is a question whether the more desirable condition of the Washington unicorn climate at the end of April compared with what it is at the beginning of March would justify a change, adding nearly two months of uncertainty and dissatisfaction for the great body of American electors, who, while participants in the election, take, and seem to desire to take, no overt part in the formality of inaugurating the President. The Philippine Islands. The victory of Commodore Dewey and the American navy at Manila give Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out-and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

An ammunition was so nearly exited that no orders were given to Troubles of a Pastor's Wife This woman was peculiarly afflicted; physicians could do nothing to relieve her, yet she was cured in a simple way. She now sends a message to suffering humanity which should be helpful. Probably no other woman ever suffered just as Mrs. Adams did, the wife of Rev. A. R. Adams, pastor of the Christian church at Blandiasville, Ill. Physicians were baffled by her ailment, and for years she was compelled to live a life of torture. To-day she is well and the story of her suffering and recovery will touch a responsive cord in the heart of every woman. "About six years ago," said Mrs. Adams, "my health began to fail. The first trouble I noticed was with my stomach; food did not agree with me, and my appetite failed until I could scarcely eat. "I would begin to bloat before I was through with a meal, and the food felt like a stone in my stomach. "After eating I would have pains in my stomach with a smothered feeling which would finally extend into my throat and chest accompanied by a choking sensation. "I began to bloat all over and my hands and feet commenced swelling until I thought I had dropsy. "In a short time I had pain and soreness in my left side which extended across my back accompanied by dirziness, and then followed severe paroxysms of pain extending from the lower part of my stomach into the region of my heart. "During these spells a hard ridge as large as my arm would appear in the left side of my stomach and around the left side. "I had a feeling of heaviness in my head and at times could scarcely hold it up or keep my eyes open, yet when night came I could not sleep." "I also suffered intensely from female trouble. "I doctored with ten different physicians, but was not benefited. No two of the doctors diagnosed my case the same. One day my husband noticed an article regarding Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in the newspaper, and induced me to try the pills. "I began taking them, but experienced no relief until I had used the sixth box. I continued taking them and after using eleven boxes was greatly benefited. "I was also troubled with nervous prostration and numbness of my right hand and arm. My hand hurt so at times, tingling and burning, that I could hardly endure the pain, but that has all passed away. "I now know what it means to eat a good meal without suffering afterwards, and enjoy a good night's rest. "I am again able to do my work, and have done more this summer than in all the last four years put together. "I feel safe in saying that it is all due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and consider it my duty to let people know what these pills have done for me, as it may be the means of relief for others who are suffering." Diseases strange to physicians; symptoms that defied diagnosis, have succumbed to the potent influence of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Druggists everywhere consider them to be one of the most valuable remedial agents known to science. His First Deer. Buck fever is a hunter's disease the symptoms of which are pretty well known, but they have seldom been more feelingly described than by a Marquette citizen, whose first experience in deer shooting is related in The Mining Journal. After spending a few hours tramping through the woods, feeling tired, he sat down on a log to rest. Like most hunters, he had taken his pipe and tobacco along. Filling the pipe, he smoked for a time without interruption, when happening to turn his head a little one side, he saw a large buck coming when a few days afterward Ennius called at Nasica's house and inquired for him at the gate Nasica cried out that he was not at home. "What!" says Ennius. "Do I not know your voice?" "You are an impudent fellow," rejoined Nasica.

"Stars and Stripes and Union Should Wave Together." LONDON, May 13.—The Right Bable Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary State for the Colonies, made an important speech on public affairs at Birthham this evening. Mr Chamberlain after deprecating the constant tensions in certain quarters that London isbury was "discredited" and their erennment was "weak and vacillating," “If foreign countries believe upon those statements they will themselves much mistaken, and courteous diplomacy and graceful sessions are not incompatible with firm maintenance of the country honor and interests.” Then, declaring that he intended make a “plain statement of the unfettered by the mysteries and cences of the diplomacy of half-tury ago, which, without revealing creet negotiations, should be ‘standed of the people,’” Mr Chamberlain said he would accept the judge of the people as willingly as that wisest diplomatist in the world. ring to the policy of strict isoft that England has pursued since their mean war, he remarked that there been “perfectly justifiable,” and “The time has arrived when Britain may be confronted by a nation of powers, and our first therefore is to draw all parts of empire into a close unity, and our to maintain the bonds of our unity with our kinsmen across the lantic." (Loud cheers.) “There is a powerful and genius.” said Mr. Chamberlain, “our language, bred of our race having interests identical with us; we as war may be, even war itself be cheaply purchased if in a great noble cause the Stars and Stripes the Union Jack should wave over an Anglo-Saxon alliance.” "It is one of the most satisfactory suals of Lord Salisbury's policy to present time these two questions understand one another than they ever have done since century ago, when they were separated by the blunder of the British government.” Mr. Chamberlain proceeded to a gloomy picture of the situation China, “where we have to count Russia, as in Afghanistan, except we do not possess an army or a slave frontier in China, and therefore injure Russia without any effort.” (The fate of the whole Empire is involved, and our inquiry is especially important because we are so enormous that no more question was ever presented for clauses to the British nation and its government.

After spending a few hours tramping through the woods, feeling tired, he sat down on a log to rest. Like most hunters, he had taken his pipe and tobacco along. Filling the pipe, he smoked for a time without interruption, when happening to turn his head a little to one side, he saw a large buck coming straight toward him. As luck would have it, he had sat down to smoke near a deer trail. The deer came nearer and nearer, until he was nearly opposite the place where the hunter sat concealed. While the hunter was watching the approach of the deer he forgot that he had a gun and that the deer was "his meat." He began to tremble and shake in every limb and joint and it was difficult for him to restrain a yell of fright. He watched and trembled until the deer passed his hiding place and went into the thicket beyond. Then, feeling for his pipe, herdiscovered that it lay on the ground near his feet. By the time he had picked it up the deer was out of range, and then he discovered that in his excitement he had bitten the mouthpiece of his pipe in two. He was greatly relieved to see the deer move on, as it seemed to him that he was the game and the deer was the hunter. A Real Grievance. The young man who had just come into the business office of the newspaper had taken his silk hat off to brush the hair back from his brow. "I am a writer of a distinctly modern school of fiction," he said to the urbane gentleman behind the counter. "Our advertising rates are"— "I don't intend to buy advertising. I wish to see an editor." "That can be arranged, of course." "And a compositor." "Yes?" "And a proofreader." "Indeed!" "And a representative of each of the other departments." "All at once?" "I don't care whether they are all in the same audience or whether I make seven or eight separate and distinct appearances. But I desire to be sure of finding the person who is responsible for an attempt to allude to me as a decadent litterateur." "Well—isn't that what you are?" "Perhaps. I will not discuss that. But I think that I am entitled to an opportunity to remonstrate with the individual who put that 'y' in the word 'decaydent!" — Washington Star. His Own Spoon. I heard a capital story of Charles Mathews, writes Mr. Joseph Hatton, from an old actor at the Lotus club in New York. He was invited, with his manager and two others, to dine with a citizen who carried on the business of pawnbroking and though well off kept one assistant. Mathews was well known among his friends and admirers for his remarkable powers of rapid imitation and characterization, off the stage as well as on land, probably never gave a more notice when a few days afterward Emnius called at Nasica house and inquired for him at the gate Nasica cried out that he was not at home.

The colors in the shop windows on Broadway come out at night under the influence of the electric light in a wonderfully pure way. In the daytime it is very rare that one ever gets a perfect color, for the atmosphere softens and merges all the colors of objects, leaving no one color perfectly intact, but mixing with each suggestions of all the others. That is why in impressionistic painting, like the work of Monet, for instance, there is seldom a pure color. He tries for pleain air, for atmosphere, for the shadings which give background and sunlight. But by the electric light the background in the shops stops abruptly in darkness. There seems to be no medium in which the colors are bathed. They stand out hard, clear, pure, one beside the other, in sharp contrast. The beauty they have is the beauty of utter clarity, of distinguished purity. They have not the glamour of soft uncertainty of outline, of indefinite extension back into space. Indeed the space element is wiped out altogether, and upon a two dimensioned screen, as it were, is thrown the electric light, bringing out in poignant intensity the predominant color of the objects. — New York Commercial Advertiser. Hunting In Bygone Days. What long apprenticeship would be huntsmen had to serve in bygone days! Gaston de Foxix considered a beginning should be made when the child had reached the age of 7, when it should be placed in the kennels. King Charles says that to become a perfect huntsman the young gentilihomme who is intended for the post of veneer should be taken at the age of 12. He must be healthy and well built, he must have good sense and especially a quick and prompt judgment. One of the principal things required is that he should be painstaking. Alas, 150 years later we have D'Yauville telling us that a man needs two years' tuition to qualify as a huntsman! It was not only the paid gentlemen of the hunting establishments, however, who became real connoisseurs, for their royal masters took such personal interest in everything connected with the chase that most of them knew all their hounds by name, and on the eve of a day's hunting would name each hound that was to be taken out. They also prided themselves on being able to faire le bois themselves—that is, go out with their lymms in the morning and quest for and harbor the stag. — Pall Mall Magazine.

I heard a capital story of Charles Mathews, writes Mr. Joseph Hatton, from an old actor at the Lotus club in New York. He was invited, with his manager and others, to dine with a citizen who carried on the business of pawnbroking and though well off kept but one assistant. Mathews was well known among his friends and admirers for his remarkable powers of rapid imitation and characterization, off the stage as well as on, but probably he never gave a more remarkable illustration of those powers than on this occasion. The host being called out of the dining room at the back of the shop, Mathews altered his hair, turned up his collar and put on another man's hat. Then, making a suitable change of countenance, he took a large silver spoon from the table, ran into the street, and entering one of the little boxes which universally shield one customer from another at pawnbrokers' counters, pledged to his unsuspecting host his own piece of plate and returned to his place at table as the pawnbroker re-entered the room.—Youth's Companion. The Force of Imagination. "I had read, as illustrations of the force of the imagination," said Mr. Billtops, "the stories about people getting fresh air by opening a window that really opened into an adjoining room, and about their getting up and breaking a window that they discovered in the morning was the window of a bookcase and all that sort of thing. I felt a terrible draft the other day in a street car, and glancing over my shoulder I saw that a window at my back was open. I didn't want to shut it myself. I didn't want to take the trouble to ask the conductor to shut it. I just simply shifted over to the other side of the car, and from there I saw that the window that I had thought was open was in reality closed. But I was not chagrined by the discovery. On the contrary, I was amused enough over it to smile, and that relieved the tension and dissipated the draft."—New York Sun. Origin of a Well Preserved Joke. Nasica, having called at the house of the poet Ennius, and the maidservant having told him, on his inquiring at the door, that Ennius was not at home, saw that she had said so by her master's order and that he was really within, and Death's Betrothal. A few years ago a New York newspaper conducted an open discussion upon the topic: "Is Marriage a Failure?" The answer is easy and upon the surface. Where there is mutual love and respect, if there is also health, marriage is a success. When health is left out, even the most ardent love does not count, and marriage is invariably a failure. Modern science has cried the warning so often that all should realize the dangers of wedlock to people in ill-health. In a case of this kind death lurks on every side—in the kiss of betrothal and the caress of the honeymoon. The man who is suffering from ill-health is a physical bankrupt, and has no right to condemn a woman to be his nurse for life and the mother of babes that inherit his physical weakness. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery acts directly on the digestive organism. It makes it strong and its action perfect. When a man's digestion is all right his blood will be pure; when his blood is pure his nervous system will be strong and his health vigorous. A woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the delicate organism of her sex is certain to suffer from general ill-health, and to be an unhappy, helpless invalid and a disappointment as a wife. Her children will be weak, puny and peevish. A happy home is an impossibility for her until her health is restored. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures all troubles of the distinctly feminine organism. It cures them speedily, completely and permanently. It fits for wifehood and motherhood. Both medicines are sold by all good dealers. In the Superior Court of the county Angeles, State of California. A. B. Warner, plaintiff, vs. W. Ender and Della B. Field, defendants.

London, May 13.—The Right Honor-Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of the Colonies, made an import speech on public affairs at Birmingham this evening. Mr. Chamberlain, deprecating the constant asser- in certain quarters that Lord Salary was "discredited" and the Gov-ement "weak and vacillating," said: "of foreign countries believe and act those statements, they will find themselves much mistaken, and that uneous diplomacy and graceful con- oms are not incompatible with a maintenance of the country's war and intersts." When, declaring that he intended to be a "plain statement of the facts, uttered by the mysteries and reti- ces of the diplomacy of half a cen- ago, which, without revealing se- negotiations, should be 'under- dled of the people,'" Mr. Chamberlain said he would accept the judgment the people as willingly as that of the first diplomatist in the world. Refer- to the policy of strict isolation England has pursued since the Crin- war, he remarked that this had "perfectly justifiable," and added: "the time has arrived when Great Britain may be confronted by a combi- on of powers, and our first duty, before, is to draw all parts of the fire into a close unity, and our next maintain the bonds of permanent unity with our kinsmen across the At- sic. (Loud cheers.)" There is a powerful and generous notion," said Mr. Chamberlain, "using language, bred of our race, and ling interests identical with ours. Would go so far as to say that, terrible war may be, even war itself would cheaply purchased if in a great and rare cause the Stars and Stripes and Union Jack should wave together or an Anglo-Saxon alliance." (Pro- red cheers.) It is one of the most satisfactory re- sents of Lord Salisbury's policy that at present time these two great na- tions understand one another better than they ever have done since over a century ago, when they were separated the blunder of the British govern- ment." Mr. Chamberlain proceeded to drew bloomy picture of the situation in India, "where we have to count with Russia, as in Afghanistan, except that do not possess an army or a defen- frontier in China, and cannot therefore injure Russia without an attack." The fate of the whole Chinese interior is involved, and our interests so enormous that no more vital question was ever presented for denion to the British nation and a Brit- government. Unless the fate of Mr. Chamberlain proceeded to drew bloomy picture of the situation in India, "where we have to count with Russia, as in Afghanistan, except that do not possess an army or a defen- frontier in China, and cannot therefore injure Russia without an attack."
