the theories of Mr.. Darwin as not necessarily
hostile to the fundamental truths of religion.

modesty, thai of which he himself was con-

ions would not be universally acceptable. He
possessed charity, which was the true essence

DR.. Lamson's Case.
In the House of Lords to-day Earl Granville
quoted preeedents where the British govern
ment had made representations similar to
those made by the United States in the Lam
son case. The United States, he said, did not
interfere with sEnglish administration of JUS
tice but merely minated there might be
cause sfor clemency. Generally fortnight
was allowed for consideration in such casbs
but as the evidence in this one came from the
United States the time was somewhat extend
ed. Bad the United States interfered with
British municipal law no language would have
been too strong to PRESENT the indignity. But
no minister would undertake the responsibility
of declining to listen to statement that inn
portant information was forthcoming in the
case of man condemned to death. The Mar
quis of Salisbury spoke in similar vein.
