WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, . C. Wkdnisdat MoBirare, , Jan. -28. has ehgland tied herself up? The alliance between England and Germany for the joint enforcement of their claims ; against Venezuela was not popular in England when it was first hinted at in the papers as probable. It was so unpopular that Mr. Balfour declared it the fantastic story of an inventive press, and while he was denying it King Edward and his guest and nephew, Kaiser William, with Lord Lans downe, were completing the com pact, between drinks, at Sandring ham 'and it looks very much as if the programme of joint coercion came from King Edward and not from the Kaiser, although England seems to have been playing second fiddle to Germany ever since the joint demonstration and the "pa cific blockade" began. As showing England's or rather King Edward's part in the initiation of this business the Washington Post quotes the following note from the British Premier to the British Ambassador at Berlin: The German Ambassador informed me this evening that the German Gov ernment were prepared to join with us in addressing a final warning to the Venezuelan Government, and I com municated to him the substance of my telegram to Mr. Haggard of this day's date. .1 had thought it better not to delay making this intimation, which was, as he would observe, couched in general terms; but I undertook to tele graph at once to Mr. Haggard, desir ing him to put himself in communica tion with his German colleague. With regard to measures of coercion, the German Government were prepared to accede to our. suggestion that the first step should be the seizure of the Venezuelan- gunboats, and they pro posed that we should instruct our na val authorities in those waters to con cert a plan for carrying out this pro ject As to the joint execution of measures' of coercion, the Ger man Government recognized that there" - was . a sharp distinction t Ik. .ti.M.l.a nf 4Vi a Haiti.). and German "first-line" claims; nevertheless, the two claims ought to aland or fall together, and we ought to exclude the vosibility of a settle ment between Venezuela and one of the two powers without an equally satisfactory settlement in the case of the other. Each government ough, therefore, to come to an understanding before it embarked upon a project of coercion that neither government should be at liberty to recede except . , a J I- . a j mumsi agreement; ana oeiore common aclionwas iniatited,we ought to come to a distinct agreement to this effect. I told Count Metternich that it seemed tome only reasonable that if we agreed to act together in apply ing coercion, we should also as-ree that each, should supaort the other's demands, and should not desist from doing so except by agreement." What was said between drinks by King Edward and his visiting Kaiser nephew is, of course, not known, but this note says in so many words that Germany - was invited to join England in that debt collecting busi ness, or "warning," and that "Bar kis" was fonnd to be "willing." But the note goes further and shows that the programme of operations was fixed up bythe English gentle men who proposed the joint demon stration even to the extent of sug gesting that the ball be opened by the seizure of the Venezuelan gun boats at Lagnaira. And this was while Balfour was pronouncing the rumors of the alliance a fiction of an inventive press, fantastic non sense. No wonder the popular dis favor with which the reported alli ance was received culminated in dis gust when it was seen what a bunco game was being played upon the British people. This note not only shows that the scheme was worked up in England but so carefully worked up as to guard against Germany's pulling out without the consent of England, mutally pledging England not to pull out without the consent of Germany. In other words Lord Lansdowne with the sanction of his King tied England up and virtually made her jointly responsible with be done in that business, and this puts England in the attitude of play ing a double game, a game of decep tion, with the United States, whose good will and friendship she pro fesses to especially desire. It will be remembered that when the Venezuelan gunboats were seized and two of them taken to sea and sunk, the commander of the Eng lish war ships disavowed any respon sibility for that, throwing the re, sponslbility upon the German com mander. When fort Cabello, a few days afterward, was fired upon it was by German ships. When Fort San Carlos was fired upon it was by a German vessel, and when it was a couple days later assaulted and bat tered into ruins it was by three Ger man ships. The British ships seem to be doing police duty on the out skirts and so little of it that command ers and men might as well be fishing' or asleep. ' The German, captains seem to be the whole thing and to be running the whole business, without consulting the English men, on the assumption, we sup pose, from their interpretation of the original agreement as set forth ..in this note of Lord Lansdowne to the British ambassador at Berlin, that England would stand by any thing that Germany did, and not - poll out without Germany's con sent. ' v . Since the brutal and- altogether unnecessary and unjustifiable at tacks on Fort San Carlos the popu lar disgust in England has been in tensified, and the leading papers and prominent men are demanding that the alliance be dissolved and England disavow any responsibility for these San Carlos atrocities. But in the face of that note of Lord Lansdowne how can England do that, i when the King and Prime Minister suggested the business to the Kaiser and drew up the plan upon whioh they were to jointly act and the pledges by which they would be mutually bound? In this will probably be found the secret why there has been no intimation of disapproval coming from the British government, at which peo ple who supposed that the Kaiser was the leading spirit in this raid, were amazed. While German cap tains do the brutal work, the Brit ish Government is even deeper in the mire than Germany. But why was the joint action sug gested in the first place against a power as weak as Venezuela, torn as she was, too, by internal strife ? It surely did not require an alliance between two such powers as Eng land and Germany to enforce a debt claim against Venezuela. Isn't it more than likely that the alliance was hit upon in view of possible com plications with this Government and to keep the hands of this Govern ment off ? Lord Beresf ord, an Eng lish naval commander, in a recent interview in New York, expressed this opinion and regretted that his Government had been unwillingly roped into the alliance, but even he seems to have been ignorant of the fact that the original suggestion of the alliance, as odious as it is to Englishmen, came from his Govern ment. It is a dirty, disgraceful business, and while the arrogance, bullying and brutality of the German com manders are denounced and the German Government held responsi ble, as having an ulterior motive, the British Government is as deep in the mire as Germany is, and is playing a shameful and humiliating part, a mere sub and cipher in a game of which she was the original sngges ter and planner. HE CAPTURED THE. The Boosevelt party manipulators put up a job on the spokesmen of the Afro-American League and cap tured them. They got together in the Council at Washington and issued an address, Monday, which after calling attention to alleged grievances of the negro, concluded with commending "President Boose velt tothe affection and confidence of our people, regardless of party affiliations." That's what Roose velt's managers were playing for, and they got it. And thus they pulled the wool over the eyes of the colored brother just as they have been doing every time the aforesaid colored brother has shown a dispo sition to kick. Perhaps inviting those negroes to that Presidential reception a few days ago was part of the wool-pulling programme, but whether it was or not, these "Afro-Americans," who are too tony to think the name negro good enough, doubtless took it as proof of the broader recogni tion of their race not only politi cally but socially, for they have aspirations to social recognition, too. Of course the address issued will amount to nothing more than have the numerous similar addresses that' have been periodically issued, which served their purpose for the time and were then forgotten. They keep the race issue alive, and keep the negroes solid for the Republican party, which is the main idea with the white politicians who stand be hind the humbugged negro and pre tend to be championing his cause. To carry out the pretence there will be more or less talk in Congress, per haps some resolutions passed which will drag along in the usual way until after the next election, and then will be consigned to the customary oblivion. ' IRREPRESSIBLE MORQAS. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is one of those irrepressible, virile, never-stay-down sort of men, who apparently hasn't yet given up hope of getting his Nicaragua canal, which is probably at the bottom of the resolution introduced by him, Monday, inquiring into the validity of the papers of the representative of the Colombian Government who signed the treaty for Colombia. He contends that the proceedings are irregular, that there is really no con stitutional Government in Colom bia, and therefore no Government that has a right to make a treaty or cede territory, nnder lease or otherwise, that 'there has been no constitutional Government in that country since 1898, all of which means that Senator Morgan is going to fight the ratification of that treaty until that point iff settled to his sat isfaction. Whether there be anything in this contention remains yet to be devel oped,but if there be any doubt about it it is well that the doubt be removed before this Government closes np the business and pays Colombia $10,000, 000 and the Panama canal company 3)40,000,000. It is, however, some what remarkable that Senator Mor- For liaGrlppo and In fluenza use OHENBY'8 EXPECTORANT. - rpr sale bji.o. abepara. gan after all the deep researoh he had given this question, didn't dis cover this important point before the proceedings had reached the closing stage. : After the action of Congress in favor of the Panama proposition he expressed himself as resigned, as his desire was to have the canal by some route if he couldn't get the one of his choice. But the option with the Panama canal oompany ends on the fourth of March next, and if the treaty be not ratified .by that time there may be further parley ajnd further delay It it be Morgan's purpose to obstruct he will talk until the fourth of March if necessary. The Washington Post paragrapher reminds Col. Arthur Lynch, con victed of treason in London for fighting with the Boers, that "there is no substantial sympathy in this country for the man who takes up arms against his fellow-countrymen." In as much as Col. Lynch is ah Irishman, who regards England as the oppressor of his country, it would be difficult to persuade him that he was fighting his "fellow countrymen."

Jacksonville Times- Union, Dem. The removal of the duty from anthracite coal in order to encourage the importation of foreign coal and cheapen the price to home consumers, is a confession by the Republicans that nnder the opera tions of the tariff the consumer pays the tax. In several national cam paigns of the latter part of the last century the Republicans stoutly maintained that the foreigners paid the tax. One of the guns the Be- Eublicans expected to use in 1904 as been spiked. Mobile Beqister, Dem. The official explanation of the bombarding of San Carlos, by the German gunboats, which comes from Berlin, does not explain. We are told that the Panther was seek ing to enter Lake Maracaibo to pre vent importations from Colombia into Venezuela. This may, tech nically, be a regular proceeding, but in reason it is both absurd and dis honest. The prevention of the starving Venezuelans from receiving a few tons of food, would neither facilitate the movement toward a peaceful settlement nor aid toward a peaceful settlement nor add to Venezuela's ability to pay such award as might be adjudged against her.

Lumberton Bobesonian: The latest reports received from Mr. Oscar McLeod, who Is dangerously sick at Davidson College, are not encourag ing. A fine constitution makes the battle for life a bard one; but viewed most hopefully, his case is extremely serious, and his recovery exceedingly doubtful. Raleigh Post: Mr. Charles Barnes, a young white man, was seri ously injured Monday afternoon at Winston while climbing the side or a freight car, which was being shifted in the Norfolk & Western yard. He was caught between the car and the depot platform and was terribly mashed. -The physicians fesr he Is hurt internally. Greensboro Telegram: Satur day night about 1 o'clock a colored man was found in a dying- condition beside the railroad track near Ser geant's foundry. The man was Henry McAdoo, who has been working on the street force here for several years. McAdoo, it is believed, was drunk, as he had been raising a disturbance on the streets earlier in the night. It is thought that he was walking on the track and was struck by No, 88. which passes here about 11 o'clock. Both of his legs, were broken right above the ankle and there was bad .wound back of his right ear. He was found about 1 o'clock and lived until 4:30 Sunday morning.

If the walls of St. Lararecouid epeak, they would tell a tale of misery, of cruelty, oppression and discomfort un-; dergone by the . wretched female con victs there which would make a dog re joice that be did not wear the human shape. Victor IIuj:o has told what it was to be n galley slave in France in a time not bo long ago. Where is the feminine Victor Hugo who will dare write of what herj own' sex endured from the prison guards of those dens of horror in which helpless' women prison ers were formerly caged in France? But there are French ladjSje who know these horrors to the full Some twenty years ago they set themselves to have them mitigated. They have worked as-only! women full of a holy enthusiasm can work, and their efforts have been crowned partly with success. One branch of their enterprise is to re ceive on release from a Paris prison young women not yet hardened crim KKTBA2TCX TO ST. T.1ZAHK Inals and procure employment for them that they may not of necessity sink back into the black pools of iniquity that lie only beneath the surface crust of the brilliant city. St L&zare is the principal women's prison of Paris, to which axe sent those arrested and sentenced for short terms as well as those held for trial or other detention. It gets its. name because It was formerly tbe home of the members of the church order of St. Laxare. When they removed from the building, it was turned into a house of detention for arrested wom en. Convent cell was merely turned Into prison cell, and tbe change does not seem so great after alL Still, bow ever, there is a conventual air about tbe grim old building, for gentle blue veiled nuns guard and minister to tbe prisoners. Women arrested and de tained in Paris are usually turned over to the Sisters of Maria Joseph, and these have charge of the prisons for their own sex. Thither female crim inals are conveyed from the various police stations. St L&zare is situated at the cornet of Boulevard Magenta and Bne de Faubourg St. Denis. Like nearly every building in Paris on the left bank of the Seine, it Is old .and huge and gray and frowning. In the unspeakable old days when men Jailers kept it its other terrors were added to by vile unclean llness and lack of sanitation. Tbe gen tle yet strong Sisters of Maria Jo seph have cleansed It to the utmost, so far as may be, yet there are insects In Its walls, there are ha an tings of old tragedies, of the groans of tbe helpless, the prayers of the dying, if not of the ghosts of the dead them selves, in the grim, dark old compart meats, things that no brush, soap and water, no disinfectant or wash, may ever clear out. Old prisons, old hos pitals and Insane asylums, old tene ment houses inhabited by tbe dirty, the sick, the wicked and the forlorn ought to be burned to 'the ground like pestbouses, at least so soon as they are a century old. The despairing, stifling atmosphere of the interior of St. La sare sickens the free visitor from out side to this day. Bt Lasare has accommodations, if one might call tbem so, for 2,000 In mates. French prisons have hospitals connected with them; often, too, de partments that serve as almhouses to Shelter the homeless. St Lasare is provided with these branches of ad ministration. It Is tbe custom, too, in France, humane or otherwise as one looks at it to let tbe children of con vict women remain with the mothers till they are four years old. Mothers arrested go to St Lazare with their little ones, and there, mingling among thieves, drunkards, tbe lowest out casts, some no doubt with murder on their souls, the children run about Not infrequently an Infant Is born to a prisoner mother In the gloomy walls of St Lazare. It too, the sisters care for. Women sentenced for a longer term than two months are sent to the pew prison at Nanterre, In the country a short distance from Paris. The new prison at Nanterre, to which such con victs are conveyed from St Lazare, li a modern structure, with new walls, with light and air, and it has something which some of tbe most splendid of tbe old time French palaces lack, a bath room with hot and cold water. Here, too, are many cells for solitary confine ment, and the punishment most dread ed by a Frenchwoman is to be put away alone where she can neither see nor speak to any human being. ALEXANDRA COSMO. For Bis So-rerclirn's Salte. The shah of Persia when in France suffered from , a toothache, and so a dentist was summoned to remove the offending tooth. But like less exalted mortals, the shah,; when be found him self face to face with the dentist, dis covered that bis .toothache had disap peared, and so absolutely refused to be operated on. However, bis majesty declared that he did not wish the den tist to lose his time, and so commanded that a tooth should be .extracted from each of his suit He said this with his eyes fixed on tbe ground, and then, suddenly looking up, found, to his in tense amusement that all his minis ters and staff had quietly slipped away except tbe grand vizier, whom he com plimented upon ; being tbe ' only one faithful enough to undergo a little dis comfort for his .sovereign's sake."

Weeplns at a. Wrddlns. A Chinese marriage is all ceremony no talk, no levity and much crying. The solemnity of a funeral prevails. After the exchange of presents the bride is dressed with much care in a red gown, brocade or silk. If she can get It: her eyelashes are painted a deep black, and she wears a heavy red veil attached to a scarlet headdress, from which imitation pearls are pendent over the forehead. A feast is spread upon a table, to which the blushing bride is led by five of ber best female friends. They are seated at the table, but no one eats. The utmost silence prevails, when, finally, the mother leads off in a cry, the maids follow and tbe bride echoes in the chorus. ' Then all the bridesmaids leave the table and the disconsolate mother takes, a seat beside the chair of state where the bride Bits. The bridegroom now enters, with four of his best men. The men pick -up the throne on which the bride Bits, and, preceded by the bridegroom, form In procession and walk around the room or into an adjoining parlor, signifying that he Is carrying her uway to his own home. The guests then throw rice at the happy couple, a cus tom we have borrowed from the heathen. Professional Pride. Newspaper men, from great editors down to rural correspondents, are proud of their profession, although not all sit as secure as John Black, for many years the chief of the. London Chronicle. Black supported the Melbourne ad ministration in his paper, yet he never asked a favor of any .of the ministers. On one occasion Lord Melbourne said to him: "Ton are the only man In England who forgets that I am prime minister.; "How so, my lord?"' inquired Black, supposing that he bad been inadver tently disrespectful. "Because," replied Melbourne,' "you are the only man I know who never asks a favor of me." "I have no favor to ask," said Black quietly. "I have no favor to ask any one In the world! You are prime min ister of England, bnt I am editor of the Morning Chronicle,' and ' I would not change places with - the proudest man In England not even, my lord, with you." , - A Fiteh Lake. Trinidad, an Island in the south At lantic opposite the mouth of the Ori noco, is famous for Its pitch. There are districts where there is pitch ev erywhere. The beach is pitch, and so are the "rocks," some of which have been carried off to supply Paris and New York with tar pavements. At La Brea pineapples grow to perfection in a brown soil which la half pitch.' But the wonder of tbe Isle Is tbe pitch lake a mile and a half In circumference. As it lies glittering in the sun it looks like a vast bed of monstrous mush rooms, all black and of all kinds of shape and Blze, some measuring as much as fifty feet across. The space between these unlovely objects is filled with oily water. In parts of the lake the pitch is quite liquid, and the ground all round is full of pitch and coaly stuff to a depth of hundreds of feet Tuere is altogether too much seduc tively phrased literature being circu lated nowadays booming the semiarid sections of the west as choice farm p lands. A lot of people are going to be fooled and a-whole lot of future misery and loss entailed. If a man wants to raise crops, let him go northj 'way north, If he can stand the cold, provid ed he keeps within the rain belt, bnt for any other purpose than that of keeping stock let him beware of the land whereon the buffalo grass grows.

COTTON MARKETS Bv XeleRTSDn to tne Moraine Star New York, Jan. 37. The cotton market opened firm at an advance of three to five points. Later, business increased the advance to eight and thirteen points. The improvement followed very strong cables, which Instead of showing no chance or some decline as would have been in keeping with, the closing of the New York market the previ ous day, an advance was reported by the early cables with the net improve ment finally a matter of one to four points on futures and four points on pot cotton, of which kales in the Eng lish market reached 18,000 bale. Buy ing was active throughout the session. Shorts covered heavily. JNew Orleans parties were enormous buyers la the afternoon. The Liverpool firmness, ac cording to private cables, was largely due to active buying by Egyptian speculators and by the .overing of European shorts The upward move ment was accelerated by reports of continued demand in the Southern spot cotton markets from export rs and spinners. Another sUuiulating feature was the large showing made by exports, which for some ? cause have been exceeding port receipts. To-da the export clearanors reached 46.264 bales against 38,484 port receipts. The close was at a net advance of seven to eleven points. Total sales futures estimated at 800,000 bales. w York, Jan. 87. Cotton steady at 9 00c; net receipts 181 bales; gross Kseipts 7,354 bales; ) stock 161,754 les. , : . - .
