"Our Now Possessions Porto Rico , Ha-
I wall and the Philippines , " was the subject
| of a moat interesting Illustrated lecture do-
llvorcd last night at the Congregational
church by Rev. J. 11. Roy , D. D. , of Chicago
cage , representative of the American Mis
sionary association. The stcreoptlcon views ,
of which there wcro about 100 , were very
line. Dr. Roy Is of the opinion that the new
possessions would prove n valuable field for
the educated negro of the south.
The speaker took his text from Psalm
72 8. "Ho shall have dominion ulso from
sea to sea nnd from river unto the ends of
the earth. " Ho said In part :
"This prophecy of David about the kingdom
of Israel under Solomon was fultllled when
the nation extended from the Red sea up to
the Mediterranean nnd from the river Eu
phrates unto the ends of the earth nt the
same Red sea. Wo had a like designation
concerning our nation In th6 charter given
to the colonies of Connecticut , Massachu
setts and Virginia , which rend , 'In length by
nil the breadth thereof , throughout the main
land from sea to sea. ' This belt of terri
tory was claimed by each of those colonies
and the claim Avas recognised by an act of
the now federal government In receiving that
extension of terrltorj from the colonies as
a. part of Its own financial basis and was
particularly recognized In the case of Con
necticut when the western reserve or new
Connecticut was designated. The nation In
Its territory has been extended across the
continent by stages. The pope claimed the
whole of America by reason of Its discovery
by Columbus and for 100 jears Spain had
the sovereignty. Three hundred nnd forty
jcars ago a globe was constructed , a copy
of which Is now found In a library In Paris ,
and In ono In New York , by which the
Atlantic coast was divided Into two parts ,
the lower , Now Spain , the upper , New
France.
"Coming down to 16G3 you find a map
which represented the same coast In five or
six parts New Spain , New France , New
Sweden , New Amsterdam , Now England.
Hero was the great scramble of the na
tions of Europe for this land as they are
now grasping for partitions In Africa and
In China. The question was , What nation ,
what style of civilization , what language ,
what religion should gain control of Amer
ica ? The French , from their discovery of
the mouth of the St. Lawrence , claimed the
territory clear up through Its valley , In
cluding the great Interior lakes which fed It.
France , with the purpose of building of a
great Interior empire , had n scries of forts
through that territory with mission sta
tions attached , clear up to the Mississippi
river and down as far as St. Louis. The so-
called French and Indian wars were rather
conflicts between Franco and England as tc
the sovereignty of that great Interior. Wolfe
at Quebec settled that question , and the
region was passed over to the Anglo-Saxon
race , religion and civilization.
"After our nation -was set up It was ex
panded by the accession of that region up
to the Mississippi river. After that our gov
ernment worked for thirteen years to Induce
Spain to cede to us the mouth of the
Mississippi river , In order that our com ;
merce , as Abraham Lincoln would say ,
'might go unvexed to the sea. ' Spain re
fused.
"Secretly Spain , at the opening of the
century , had transferred that Louisiana ter
ritory to France. Wo now opened negotia
tions with Napoleon for the same. He , too ,
was unwilling to divide the area. His reply
was : 'Gentlemen , the whole or none , and
the price Is $15,000,000. ' Our representatives
In Franco took the responsibility of closing
the bargain In splto of the sentiment quite
commonly held and expressed by Joslah
Qulncy , a member of congress , In which ho
declared that If we accepted that territory 3f
Massachusetts would bo Justified In seceding
from the union. ( Here Providence against a
common sentiment pushed us across the
Mississippi river and we could not got back.
"Wo come now to the crest pf the Rocky
mountains , of which Thomas Bcnton had
said , 'ultima thule , ' the farthest boundary ,
and Daniel Webster had said that the coun
try beyond was not worth having ; that ho
iwas about to trade It off for the privilege
of fishing In the northeastern waters.
"Again wo nro pushed along by the mis
sion of Dr. Marcus AVhltman and his asso
ciates and the colonists which they escorted
over. Oregon , Washington , Idaho nnd 1
Montana were saved to our union. Then
came In Texas nnd California with Arizona
and Nevada still further enlarging our area.
The purchase of Alaska gave the Pacific
coast to the Anglo-Saxon civilization down
to Mexico. Mr , Sovvard was laughed at ,
but ho said that the Pacific coast with Its
Islands nnd shores and the great regions
beyond , would jot become the theater of the
world's great hereafter.
t AiliIllloiiN ( o Our Domain.
' 'Still further by the war with Spain , Porto
IJIco has been added to our domain and Cuba
as a sphere of moral Influence. On the other
Bide Hawaii as the product of Christian
missions has fallen into the lap of the re
public as ilpo fruit. And now at least a
sphere of InfluenceIs Imposed upon us 1
whether wo ever add the territory or not
named the 1'htllpptno archipelago. It was a
great schemeof _
- Imperialism or expansion
by which the American Board of 1'orolgn
Missions , located at Boston , sent out In IS'JO
a scclal settlement , a colony of missionaries
whoso forces kept on the Increase by the
same great organization. It has been claimed
that as a Americans wo have had no expe
rience In dealing with Maloje , but the out
come In Hawaii proves to have been a grand
success In dealing with such Island pee
ples. The same Is true of the mission ot
the same board In the Marshall , Gulbert and
Caroline Islands , In the latter the people nt
I'ouape and Uuk nnd Kusall had been largely
_ civilized and Christianized when ten years
ago the Spanish claim was set up , the mis-
slon of forty years at Ponapo was destrojcd ,
{ burned to the ground , the missionaries
driven off and not yet permitted to icturn.
A .Spanish battleship still holds the mission
under Its guns. Hero the experiment with
Mala > s has proven a success , and the In
ference Is that if the Philippines shall be
left on our hands the same result by the
same process , with the added support of our
national government , may be accomplished 1 1
"What now If the expansion of Messiah's
kingdom had not kept pace with the enlarge ,
ment of the nation As a matter of fact ' ,
our great Interior on both sides of the Mis
sissippi , from the Alleghcnles to the Heckles i ,
has been filled with the elements of a Chrls- '
i tlan civilization after the Anglo-Saxon or
der and the same Is true as to the cquntry
bcjond the Hookies up and down the Pacific
coast. Now with this result why may wo
not expect that our nation can assimilate ,
our Anglo-Saxon civilization possess Porto
Rico and Cuba , so far as a moral trans
formation may bo concerned , leaving out
the political question with regard to that
latter Island. As to these Islands , we have
already been trained to the kind of work
needed for their moral occupation. These
thirty-five years of work among the negroes
ot the south has been a process ot learning
the trade on the part of our several church
> stems , nnd It may well be taken as settled
that the same process will accomplish n
like a result In those Islands. That of
Christian education , which cares for the
training of head , hand and heart. Such
opening will glvo an outlet to the educated
colored people of the south , which they do
not find In their own country. Multitudes
ot these > oung colored people have had such
training as will fit them to be leaders of so
ciety In the Islands. The mass of colored
pcoplo will bo Immune ns to malaria and a
great number of them Immune as to > cllo\v
fever. The obligations for expansion of the
moral kingdom cannot bo thrust aside and
wo nro held responsible by the Judgment
and conscience of the nations to see that
this style of work shall be doiio promptly
nnd thoroughly by our people.
"Tho claim was made by the speaker that
the United States owes Cuba a great debt
In reparation ot a wrong done It In 1S2C.
Following our successful revolution the
states of South America became also Inde
pendent and the tide was flowing back across
the Isthmus when Bolivia proposed the re
leasing of Cuba from Spain and the eman
cipation of Us slaves. A convention was
proposed , to meet nt Panama In the jear
named , and upon Instructions , John Qulncy
Adams nominated commissioners to the
same , but our senate so loaded down the
vote approving the delegation that the
scheme was n failure and all In the Interest
ot salvery In the United States. "

SIOUX CITY , May 21. ( Special. ) At
South Sioux City , Neb. , Friday , May 2C , n
nifiwny Is to bo sold to the highest bidder.
This' line Is the Sioux City , O'Neill & West
ern , commonly known as the Pacific Short
Line , the road built by tlio late Donald
McLean , who met euch a tragic death In
the Palmer house , Chicago , recently. This
road nnd Its sister , the Sioux City &
Northern , have been the cause of almost
endless litigation In the United States
courts In the Inst seven jears Thousands
of dollars have been epcnt In attorney'
focn and costs to settle title to the proper
tiesand now It would seem that nt last the
Pacific Short Line Is to pass Into the hands
of others than Sioux City people. The road
runs from South Sioux City , Neb. , to
O'NclJl , Neb. , n distance of 130 miles.
The road Is to bo sold by 13. S. Dundy ,
J ? , of Omaha , master In chancery , and will
go to the highest bidder. It Is expected
J. Kennedy Ted & Co. of New York will
some Into posscfslon of the property. The
Tods now hold three-fourths of the stock
ot the Slotu City & Northern line. The
Short Line Is being sold under foreclosure
proceedings In the case of the Manhattan
Trust company , trustee , against the Sioux
City , O'Neill & Western Railway companj.
The mortgage on the road In the shape of
bonds Is about $ ,2,400,000. It so happened
that when this road was bonded the Sioux
City ejndlcatc A. S. Garretson , James E.
Boogc , John Hornlck and Ed Hnaklnson
sold the bonds of the Sioux City & North
ern company nnd the three-quarters Inter
est In the stock of the Sioux City & North
ern to the Pacific Short Line Bridge com
pany. These were then pledged to J. Ken
nedy Ted & Co. to secure a loan of $1,500-
00. " Finally , In the fall of 1803 these se
curities were sold under the provisions of
the contract In case of failure to pay the
debt. Ted & Co. bought them for $1,000 ,
acting as trustees.
LOIIK Iiliic of LltlKflUnii.
Then commenced the long line of litiga
tion. Actions vvcro commenced In the federal
court to appoint receivers for the Northern
and the Short lino. The Credits Commuta
tion company of Sioux City , owning the
assets of the defunct Union Loan and Trust
company , laid claim to the properties sold
to Ted & Co. , and finally the court appointed
two receivers for the Sioux City & Northern ,
one for each Interest. Judge Warwick
Hough of St. Louis was the representative
of the commutation company nnd S. J. Bealo
ot St. Faul for the other Interests. All along
the hand of Jim Hill of the Great Northern
has been felt , as ho Is said to own one-
fourth of the Northern stock. In the /ore-
closure proceedings the question of owner
ship of the securities pledged to the Tods
came up. The Sioux City company con
tended the collateral had been -wrongfully
hypothecated , and Judge Shires of the fed
eral court held to the contrary. This case
went to the United States1 court of appeals
and hero Judge Shires was practically af
firmed. Then the cose went to the United
States supreme court , with the same re
sult.
sult.An
An effort was made to block the sale of
the Short Line by attacking the foreclosure
proceedings , but the decision of Judge
Caldwcll of the circuit court was affirmed
by the court of appeals , although some
questions vveio allowed to bo certified up
to the supreme court. However , the
supreme court sent the case back to the
lower court , declining to take up the ques
tions asked. So now It would seem that
there Is nothing more to delay the sale of
the Nebraska line. It will bo sold to the
highest bidder and It Is extremely doubtful
If the Slou\ City company will oven make
a bid.
'Should the line go to the Tods It Is meet
likely It i\vill bo sold as teen as possible.
The Chicago , Milwaukee & St.Paul has been
asked to buy It by Sioux City men , but that
company does not appear to take any Inter
est in that part of the country at this time.
It was the dream of Donald McLean to extend -
tend this line through to Los Angeles , Cal. ,
and It Is said he has had the whole route
surveyed and his cstato owns the plat books
and field notes Many times has It been
said ho had the necessary money , but so
far It Is a dim vision of the future , yet ono
in which the whole state of Iowa Is deeply
Interested.
So far as the Northern Is concerned It Is
a question still remaining to be adjudicated
between It and the terminal company In
Sioux City , tout the fact remains that the
road | a a money maker and a valuable piece
ot property.

It may not bo gcncrnllv known that
Greater Now York possesses a colony of
0,000 leeches. Leeches ro not "good to
oat. " The slimy creatures are not prottj to
look upon cither , and while It Is true that
they have a clinging disposition they could
hardly bo considered harmless household
pets , sajs the New- York Herald.
Still , leeches have their virtues. They
come In handy In the treatment of bid
bruises where quantities of cast-off blood
have collected beneath the skin Many n
black cjc has been checked through their
kind oflkcs.
Awful thought ! Suppose the whole GO.OOO
now- held In bondage at the Now- York leech
farm should btcak loose at night and vvlih
their gluttonlsh , blood-hungry Instinct crawl
through cracks and crevices Into the sleepIng -
Ing apartments of neighboring dwellings' '
This Is Just whit happened to the waking
temnts who lived near the Snn Tranclsco
leech farm only a few jcars ago.
Hundreds of them crawled up the walls
and tried every window and crevice , seeking
an entrance because of some Instinctive
knowledge that In the houses they could Ilud
pasturage upon the occupants.
A few- found their way into sleeping cham
bers perhaps 1,000 out of the 6,000 which
made up the population of the Trlsco col
ony , nut oven that number of snakv , black
and green , creepy worms distributed about
a couple of large tenements sufficed to ter
rify the Inhabitants almost Into fits when
they felt the eager suction of the leeches
and nwoko to find themselves festooned
with the ugly products of the swampy ooze.
