"As military power and commercial enterprise must go hand in hand," says the St. James Gazette, "the importance of the statements upon world politics as revealing the new epoch upon which America is entering must be immense." The Evening Standard inquires if the reference to the isthmian canal is a hint that the England Clayton-Bul-wer treaty will have to go.

It looks like it The paper considers the da-termination of the United States to be uppermost in Central and South America both commercially and politically, is one of the hardest facts of the times. The Globe thinks President McKin ley's programme forecasts the severe rivalry which Great Britain must ex pect from the United States, amounting as it believes to a definite abandonment of extreme protection.

The President's coming had evidently not been noised about and he and his escort attracted no extraordinary attention. At Lewiston the party boarded four special trolley cars for the gorge, route and were whisked up along the river bank to Niagara Falls without making a stop.

u. in spite of the fact that the terms offered by the United States Steel corporation for the settlement of the steel workers' strike were limited to 6 o'clock last night, tho executive board of the Amalgamated Association after remaining in session all to-day, adjourned until tomorrow without reaching a definite decision. The peace movement is regarded as practically dead in the offices of the Carnegie building. A statement of the situation to-day is simple. The Amalgamated Association has rejected the terms offered by President Schwab and negotiations have terminated.

The officials of the constituent companies have been instructed to start up all the plants just as soon as possible with nonunion men. Just what proposition Mr. Schwab made the Amalgamated cannot be learned. The Amalgamated men who knew the details declined to say anything. It was stated by the other side however, that President Schwab practically reiterated the offer made by Mr.

Morgan that the corporation would cials to-clay indicated that peace nego-signed for before the strike and that union wages would be paid all nonunion mills affected by the controversy.

H. A. Houseal, an engraver, has accomplished a task in the engraver's art which eclipses the engraving of the Lord's Pra3'er upon a silver dollar, which was supposed for a long time to be the triumph of fine work in engraving, says the Baltimore American. He has managed to engrave the alphabet complete on the head of acommon pin. Mr.

Houseal, ho rarely uses a glass in work, can read the letters with the naked eye, and although there are few persons whose eyesight is so strong, a common magnifying glass serves to make them easily distinguishable. The letters range from left to right, and are all capitals. In the first circle around the edge of the head of the pin are the letters from; A to inclusive. Within this is the second circle beginning at and ending at Z. and directly in the center is the mark.

The diameter of the pinhead is barely a sixteenth of an inch and it can be understood how-small the letters must be. They are about one-fourth the size of the letters i the Lord's Prayer engraved on a dol-r. The work occupied about an hour ml a half, and was done duringan aft-rnoon about a month ago, Mr. Houseal occasionally leaving it to to customers in the store. It was done with an ordinary engravers' tool.

6 Again this "right little, tight little isle" has done the honors, of hospitality for Vermont to a guest of national consequence, and again its enterprising people have proved themselves more than equal to the responsibilities of such important occasions. The annual midsummer meeting and banquet of the Vermont Fish and Game League was held here this afternoon with Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt as the guest of honor, with other distinguished men as guests, and with representatives of every considerable locality of Vermont acting as hosts. The state of Vermont is well represented in the great throng of men here to-day, and it appears as If almost every man of state reputation were certainly somewhere in the crowd. These midsummer meetings afford first-class opportunities for enterprising business men and politicians to extend their acquaintance all over Vermont, as well as to form a pretty good opinion of the leading spirits of the state from personal observation. Most of the party was brought here by the steamer-Chateaugay which left Burlington at 12:30 o'clock, by the Leslie line steamers Liberty, and'X from St.

Albans, and by small craft from various parts of theH lake. The Vice-Presidential Party. The vice-president and. party were brought to the island on tr. W.

On board the Elfrida were: Vice-President Roosevelt; Winston Churchill, the author, whose summer home is near Windsor; Guy Murchie, of a friend of Colonel Roosevelt and a member of his celebrated regiment of Rough Riders; Charles H.

Dinner was served by the Ladies' Aid Society of Isle La Motte, and was a toothsome repast. The food was abundant and appetizing and the service was excellent. The ladies deserve a great deal of credit for their work and Mr. and Mrs. Fisk for their generous hospitality and hearty co-operation with the plans of the league.

The postpradal exercises consisted of several five minute speeches followed by the guest of honor Vice President Roosevelt. The list of speakers included the Hon. D. J. Foster, of Burlington, toast-master, Charles H.

Fine weather marked his arrival in the city and he was cordially received every time he made his appearance. His acknowledgment of the greetings was at all times gracious and he made a most favorable impression on all who saw or heard him.

A STORMY SESSION DiSCUSS World's Methodists South African War THE CAMPAIGN HOTLY CRITICIZED Chance for International Peace Not of the Brightest When Pastors Lose Tempers Discussing It. 'London, Sept G. Stormy goings on at the Ecumenical Methodist conference resulted this morning from the reading by the Rev. W. C.

Smith, "of Pittsburg, of a paper on the influence of modernism in the promotion of international peace. The five-minute rule was adopted and the pas tors made fiery speeches for and. against the war in South Africa. The campaign there came in for a lot of criticism and the chairman finally ruled reference to it out of order. Many Americans took part in the discussion but none of the more prominent bishops spoke.

The speeches were punctuated by frequent noisy interruptions, and cheers and counter cheers. The dis cussion terminated without any conclusion being reached.
