computed BY astronomers before the transit.
Thus he reports the beginning OF the transit as
occurring sixty eighty seconds later, the second
contact seventy-1ve seconds later, the third
contact forty.three seconds earlier and the last
contact sixty-ave SECONDS earlier than the com.

We have not finished with the position taken up
by England on the suDjec OF the Brussels Confer

namely, the desire to protect the rights OF ma
tional defence, not to participate In sny
way in decisions calculated to facilitate
wars OF aggression and to generallze the.
patriotic resistance OF peoples attacked We
have already expressed our opinion on this
pont-a point on which Lord Derby probably
knows as m UGH as We do for we suppose that ne
has taken cogniZance OF the protocols OF the Con-
desire not to weaken the patr,otc deeSce Of in.
vaded peoples-wheu IN realty color Is only
given TO us own utter impotence In matters
OF Continental warfare and TO deend the
arbitrary position which she reserves to herself IN
all matters connected with maritime wariare;
To regard with DOUBT and suspicion. against
al evidences TO the contrary, the suggestions OF
great Power animated VITA noble and humane In.
tentions-is a wicked act, for the commission OF
which the Minister OF Foreign Affairs OF Great
Britain cannot plead Ignorance, as certain jour mails

believe that sucn Is the case. Notwithstanding
what Lord DERBY may say. they are the weaker
states which nave the most to gain oy tue fixing

no law exists the strong will impose laws which
