"Uuder the universal laws by which you live you weave a web, every thread of which affects irscbar acter for ever. These laws Kn.iw neither wrath nor pardon; Ever true their measure mete Their faultless balance weighs. I thought that I might Interest yoc iiy considering a subject now attract log wide attention the economic changes which have come, and are Impending, In the relative position and power of nations. Whatever the future nriy have in itore, nothing can rob Britain of the credit of having given to the world the means for its surprising develop ment. Forty odd years ago she made more Iran and steel, manufactured more machinery, mined moie coal, wove mo e cloth, than all tbe rest. of the world. It was Britain in tbo one scale, the world in tbe other, the world kicking the beam. A few managing Hrltous. or Amer icans can now readily be obtained tc establish manufactories In anv part t the world, and educate ihe na tives to become satisfactory workers. Capital, management and skilled la bor have become mobile in the ex treme. The scat of manufacturing is now, and will continue to be mor, aud mere, simply a question where I the requisite raw materials are found under suitable conditions. Capital nd skilled labor bave lost tbe puwei they once bad to attract labor and capital. The Jute Industry, once ceo tered In Dundee, is- now also estab lished in India, near tbe Jute supply. Aineric i now makes more steel than ill the rest of tbe world. She bat become the foremost nation Id wealth, manufactures and commerce. and promises soon in some branches, to occupy the position which Brltaic occupied while it was Britain versui the wond. Although no Briton cao be expected to see with satisfaction his country displaced from Hrst place, t here Is yet cause for rejoicing thai s iproiua.'f remains In tbe family. II is not aluVelber lost what tbe rati still holds. From what has been said it will b Infertel that tbe manufacture ol staple articles for the world Is to bi chiefly Conducted In our time and It the next generation by three coun tries Britain, Germany and th United States. In the race for th world's trade between these countrlet several considerations are Important. Let this vital fact be noted, the mosl nowcrful weapon for conquering for eign markets Is a profitable burnt narket. ' J BEAR HUNT IN VAIN PRESIDENT BRCAKSCAMP WITH OUT A SINGLE SHOT.

SMEDES, Miss., Nov. 19. Presi dent RoosevelL's bear hunt In Miss issippi Is ended and be has ot had even a shot at a bear. Tbe last day of the chase was simply a repetition of the three preceeding davs so far as bis luck was concerned. Try as tbe hunters would they could not get a bear within tbe unge of- the presi dent's rifle. Tbe dogs got a fresh trail early this morning and the president aDd Holt Collier followed it half a dozen miles to the big Sunflower river. The bear crossed a mile below the ford they went to, and believing he was making for the cano brakes on the other side they endeavored to head him off. When they got into tbe brake however, they were dis gusted to find that the bear had doubled on his track and crossed the river still further down. It was tben one o'clock and as arrangements had beeu made to break camp at 2:30 the president was leluctantly compelled to abandon further pursuit of the elusive quarry, When tbe president was out after bear Major Helm, Dr. Lung and Sec retary Cortyleou had a more success ful deer drive on this side of the great Suuflow r river. They jumped a buck and a doe. Major Helm killed the later from bis horse at about forty yards. Although tbe president has failed to kill a bear on this expedition he has enjoyed bis outing and speaks in high praise of the hospitality that has been accorded him. He philo sophically attributed bis ill-fortune to tbe traditional hunter s luck, and says the next time he goes after bear be will arrange to iy 1 Dg enough for tbe luck to change. When all was In readiness this af ternoon the president and tbe mem bers of tbe partv mounted their borses aud rode Into Smedes, leaving tbe wagons to follow The president Is a hard rider, and the pace was rapid In spite of tbe bad trails The distance, which Is fully twelve miles, was covered in less than an hour. Upon the president's arrival here be found fully 500 people, practically all the negroes from tbe surrounding p'aotations, assembled to greet bin , He thanked them for their demon strations, but made no remarks. They waited around his car on the siding until daik, hoping be would make a speech. Mr. Flsb tonight gave a dinner In bis private car to the president and members of bis party. At 9:30 the special train started for Memphis, having added the record of a presi dential bear iunt to the fame of Smedes, which tlrst became knowu to tbe outside world through the Story that here tbe experiment of teaching monkeys to pick cotton was to be tried.
