He Says Further Iacuetvi-a Do-! velopment is ihe Ruirg Ques tien W.A A Cmi zodc Netans. At the ar.nual diner of the S.w York chamb:-r of commere held Tues day evening Secretary Hay was thc prircipal speaker. Snator John L. McLaurin of Sxeth Carolira spoke to the sentiment: "The Monroe doctrine of the T wentieth cen tury," The senator dea!arcd that the ruling questior. today with ail rations, In one to which all political questions are Fuhoriaina:ed is, "Wlat can we do to further industrial development and ob tain subst;nial bu-iness prosperits?" Speakirg of the. prom Ogs;ion by -the infant republic" of the Monroe 'ic trice, he Faid that "any other policy would have wrecked Lu: govarrment and been an insurmountable barrier to our national growth, prosperity ar.d progress." Now that we have bteome "I greatest exiott nation cf the world," the "mightiest potentiality cn earth for pre-rtEs, civil'ztion and human freedom," we can "no longer confi-e our institu!ions and our desticy to this continent, but are compelled by uncon trollable events to seek fraterniy with other nations a:d to reach cut for rew chan-els of tya e. "The Sp;nish war wss the cessien, Dot the cause. The report of Dys cannon in Mania bay was b. the for ma anercurcement to tre world of what you ca'l cn 5or'r prcg'amme, 'th Twentieth century Mrro doctrine. but which I call the 'McKncy dec trine,' and as such it w:li be krown to future Sges" Senater McLaurin eiudEdat d -h6 Mc Kinley doctrine to be as follows: "First, that as our own msnifold pro ductions largely exceeded home con sumption the expansion of territcry, trade and commerce was the only means of creating markets for our surplus products. "Second, that as a nation with a firmly established constitutional gov ernment and enlarged national obilga tions, we could no lorger abstain from participauon in the affairs of the world, but must take our share of the respor. sibility. "Third, that while maintaining the doctrine that no gcvernment on the American continent must be interfe:ed with or contrilled by any Earo;ean power, yet we must cultivate friendly relations with them and be prepared to sek and control our share of the trade of the world. "Fourth, that we should not and could not as a nation safely shrink from the full performance of all the re sponsibilities cast upon us, bue must move forward to the fulfillment of our national destiny "The proposidons embraced in th~s doctrine," said the speaker, "will be to the Twentieth century what the Mon roe doctrine was to the Nineteenth. If, as a nation, we would er joy the commercial fruits we need and desire, we m~ust, like individuale, make na tional ventures and heroic off orts." Senator McLaurin declared~ the prin eiples embraced-in the 'Mcinley doe. trine" to be the oalv erin which prom ise the stabi sy mf e s.im.n and Lme lull accomplishmeni of our nationaal destiny. Bo predicted that this doc trine is to be "our chart andi compas until we complete another eyele in na tional life and another movement to be made orward and up ward." The speaker spcke of reciprocity treaties as one of the features of this twentieth century Monroe doctrine and defined their principle to be that trade is nct to be free con ene side and fetter .don the cother; that goods are not to be taken from a foreign eceniry free .of duty or at a low rate, un'eas that country take somethir g from us free of <iuty or at least at a low rate. "What we nieed in this coxntry to day," said the sernator, "is a non parti san patrio:itma:3 e atesmanship, more d4evo:ed to te~ bnildiOg up of our coin mon eeuntry tut .o panr:y success.

Public men are discus in with great c.g-r:ers the m.ny in po r-nt questions pending and whic will c-me up f.r consideration durin the -inter and spring months. The fact that there are wide dil ferences of opinion over these questier 1a the party in jo *er adds to the ir terest of the occasion and draws attei - tion o the viewo of ;r aminent inmbei of the n-tional legislature as they rea: the city. 1: lcks a litle now as if the table might be turned and the epirit cf di, sension transierred from the Deme r cratio side of the House to the Repul iean benches. The Republicans ar pretty badly torn up over the question of tariff revision, reciproeity, war ta reduction and ship subsidies.

BEES TO KILL MICE. Ae Ag:icultural Dspartmant Finds Ally in the Philippines. n STiNOS OF THE L! rTLE - Insect Said to B, Poisonous to h the Small Arimals WiI g Be IntrAduced into This s Ccuntry. . The agricultural dep artmEnt at Wash *s ington is to mske a determined attck h upon the American field mouse. His extermination in certain localities has I been resolved upon and the Philippine 1, b blebea is to be brought into servIce as the executioner. This was the statement made by 5 Pe.f. C. H. Riley, of the department, who passed throubh Chicago last week 1 eu route to San Francisco and the Pilip e pinsa. Prof. Riley, of the division o1 D cntomology, will devote a year in the Philippines to the stuiy of buga audi-_ -a:ots of the areeipelago. The "nuc ming bird" bumblebae of the Philip pines will be one of the main obje.cts of his irquiry. It is planned to imp:rt the big bee of the Philippines into the United States that he may mske war I upon the American field montse, a ro dent which has caused the farmers of the country a loss of thouands of dol . "L is an old saying among farmers," said Prof. Riley, reports a Chicago pa per, "that when there is plenty of clover there are lots of bumblebees. What the farmer really means is~ that when there are lots of oumblebees there is plenty of clover. He might carry is logio further by taying ttat when field niice ro scAroe there are plent; of bumblebaec, and that when there are plenty of cats there are -few field mice. "!n order to save the clover orops of the eountry the agricultural depar 1ment has the choice of two things, to inorcae the number of cats in the cou -* try, which will destroy the field moue, or to take away from the rodent his supply of winter food. Either method if successful would result in a gain of thousands of daolars to the farmers. The field mouse is very foud of bnm biebee honey and nenr kaas an op portunity to deprive the inieet of the rewards of his work. The honey taken away from the bumblebee causes him to perish in the winter time. Hence a short clover crop for the bazblebee is a carrier of pollie from oie clever plant to another. Thus when there are lots of buablebees clover comes to perfection. If the field mouse has de stroyed the bumblebee there is no in sect that can do its work in the sum mer time and the far:c:rs lose scord iagly. This is not only true of clover, but many other plants. "We hold that the bnmbloose is a valuable member of inseo society and that the field mouse is a worihless scamp who likes a good dinner but does not want to work for it. "The Philippine bumblebee is an entirely different insect from his Ameri can cousin. He is fully an inch end a -half long and looks like a small bird. He is fal of business and has no fear of such a small animal tas the field mouse. IHe is asharmless fellow when let alone, -but his sting is deadly to smaller forms eof animal life. He will fight for his Sown with the tenacity of a pugilist and Sany unscrupulous field mouse invad ing Shis domain will have to fight for every Sthing he gets. SA field mouse after receiving the Sting of a Philippine bumblebee would 1 maah resemble the wrecked appearance -of some of our college boys after the - Thanksgiving football game. He would - have to lay up for repairs. "It is the intention of the agricul tural department to introduce this bee into the United Stess if olimatio con t ditions will permit. He will be sent i to the warmer parts of the country .. a first, where he ma; gradual'y become t hardened to the more severe climate. SIt ii then hoped he will grow and 5 spread until he covers the entire coun try. The deoartment has its eye upon t other insets in the Philippines wnich t may prove of value to agricultural inter iests. There are several varieties of 5 honey bees which will be given a trial. ?A species of tree road, which has a i~ adly antipathy fur certain kinds of - jcierus insoet, will be introdused in'o Ssouthern Cajior eia with thre nope that V ir.rnay be uief di in the ex:ermin a~i1 - jo1 ce black or ar.cred scale, whbi - bu caused so. g-at a lois to truit - growing in-seresr- ot late yesrs."

The densest fog ever experienced in CLicago caused numerous collisions be. tween trains eFarly Wednesday. in these eclliions two men were killed, two were so badly injured that they will probably notreoover and 15 others were seriosnly hurt. Scores of others, the police say, were injured in minor ac;:id:ns, duz to the g but' as they werc abX; to assisL themsves ro oLficial reports were made. The more seorious aoaidents occurred on the Metropoliila and the Lake S.reet Elevated roads. Collisions be tween vahicies and street cars wers frequent but while a great number of people wtre i'.jurcd by them, none of the i;jor.ei iLcapacitated? them and the damage was chiefly to the collid ing objec:s themselves. The fog at an ea:y hour was so thick that persons standing on the sidewalks could Eoarce'y distinguish street cars passing within a few feet of them and motormen kept their gangs clanging a constant warning.

Poor b alaaai, wZn i aiways in teresting and remarkably reiaole, in its latest editions gives a ntatement showing how the investmets in rail roads in the Unitei States hacv groan since 1870. Tiiirty years zgo the total railroad cxpital in the Uaited S:ates was $954, 380,431. By the end of the year 1900 it hxd ri en to the enormous sum of $3,418,790,671, or more than three and a halt times its amount in 1870. Surprising a; this showing is, it is surpassed by that which Mr. Anthony N. Brady makes for the development of electricity in recent years. In 1810, when there wam nearly a bil lion delars invested in railroads in this country there was not a cent in elec tric enterprises. They had their be ginning several years later and have progressed at-a rate that is without precendent in any line of develop'ment. From nothing in 1870 to $3,750,000, 000 is the growth of the capital in vested in electric railways, lighting companies and other electric compankcs in tais conutry. The fact that the~re is now $332,000,000 more money in vested in electrical development in the United States titan in railroads wi surprise most persons. And the fact tha ince 1870 the value of investments in railroads and elec tric enterprises in this country has in creased $6 214,410, 240 is almost in credible, it is one of the many proofs of the unparalleled increase of the wealth and industrial developments of the United Sa-te.-A nanta Journal.
