1t is satisfactory that llmlburt's eccen-
trlCities have been reproyed by the state
Department, and we cannot doubt that
America is sincere in her desire to recon-
cile the victors and vanquished. The
appearance Of dictation and parti2anship
may be explained by uniltnes3 Of the in
siruments chosen by the Secretary of
State, |. is not likely that England, or
any European State, will be tempted TO
meddle in the affairs of South America,
but such Intervention might be necessa-
ry II European interests should be allect-
ed. II must not be imagined that the
European powers can acquiesce in II very
wide extension of the Monroe doctrine,
implied in Secretary Blaine's dispatches.
Intervention for the protection Of Euro
pean interests Is rs rightfully claimed by
the powers rs 1t Is by the United States
for the protection of their interests in

CHICAGO, Dec. 49, Emory StOrrs,
who returned to Chicago from Washing

and the general drift Of evidence will be
sufficient to conynce the jury that he
knows the difference between right and
wrong, and that at The time he shot the
President he was not acting from any
irritable impulse. As to Judge CoX's
conduct In ths trial, Storrs thinks the
Judge has determined to give The prls-
