LONDON, June 23.-At special meeting of
the British cabinet this afternoon the min
listers unanimously agreed to adopt Glad
stones suggestion that the mediatory serv-
ices of the government be rendered in the
Franco Chinese troubles. The decision of
the ministry was communicated to the Brit
ish ambassador at Paris, and by him to the
Marquis Tseng. Since his return from st.
Petersburg to Paris the Marquis has observ-
ed that France is lily prepared for war and
his impressions have been forwarded to the
home government. This has resulted in China
assuming a firmer position and increasing
the demands, and the Chinese ambassador in
accepting the offer of mediation does SO with
the understanding that In addition to the
Tonquin suzerainty and tribute from Anam,
the claim of China to collect duties at Red
river ports which are to be opened to foreign
commerce must also be recognized.
The action of the cabinet was also commu-
nicated to NJ. Farety, as was the fact of the
Chinese acceptance and the terms upon which
the acceptance is based. 1t Is likely that
France will agree to these proposals, al
though formal answer will not be given uu-
til early next week, probably Monday.
1t is thought the action of the British gov
ernment will avert the war between France
and China. and result in opening to the COM

The Legitimacy of Lynch Law.

Burlington Hawkeye.
Lynch law is the child of the courtroom.
The offspring is illegitimate, maybe, but
none the less is il natural child" If the
law never slept; if the courts dispensed only
justice: if the wrong men never won law
suits; il innocent men never went to jail,
and if it did not sometimes cost the govern
ment million dollars to acquit thief; if
murderers never walked out of the court
room amid the triumphant applause of their
friends, Judge Lynch would adjourn his
court forever. James Mutt. the avenger, was
not possible until the Dukes jury called him
into being. Had the creatures which COM
posed that body hanged imprisoned or even
banished his fathers murderer, the quiet, in
offensive boy would, perhaps, have never
been known outside of his own
county But the law would not
aYenge him, and this boy had to teach the
law it's dnty and perform that duty for it.
Lynch law is a bad thing, but it is better
than no law; it is better than corrupted law;
it is supremely better than the law that
stands by the open grave of the victim and
holds the broad shield of protection over the
murderer. Herr Most never made Com
mEnist in his life; it isn't the Russian stu
dents who make Nihllists of men. James
Mutt never suggested to himself that he go
out and shoot somebody. It's the president
and directors of the solid insurance company
or bank who divide up the money among
themselves and HE away to Canada or give
the depositors and patrons Ten cents. on the
dollar that make Communists; it's the gov
ernment that stands with its feet on the neck
of the people that makes Sihiiists; it's the
Jaw that protects and respects such crimi mails
a Dnkes that puts the revolver into the
hands of young Mutt.

The Hurunni Strikes the Waitara-Twenty-
five Lives Lost.
LONDON, June 24.-The passenger vessels
Hurunni and Waitara, of the New Zealand
Shipping Company, were in collision off
Portland on Friday night. The waitara
sank in two minutes, and twenty-five per-
sons were drowned. The Hurunni imine-
diately launched boats and rescued eighteen
persons struggling in the water Among
these was q lady saloon passenger to
whom a sailor, also saved, had given
his life belt. Two other saloon passengers
were also saved. All the seeond-class and
steerage passengers were lost The captain
of the Waitara was dragged aboard the HUI
runni with the aid of ropes. The two vessels
left London together on Friday. The HUI
runn struck the Waitara end on, just in
front of the saloon on the starboard side.
The survivors state that no crash was heard,
but the side of the Waitara gave way like
card board. More passengers might have
been saved had bark and steamer seen near
by needed the Waitara's signals of distress.

THE CoBDEN CLUB.
1t Is Troubled by the Admission of a French
Free Trader.

Free Trader.
LONDON. June 23.-The Golden Club has
been turned upside down and has lost sew
eral of its strongest supporters The trouble
arose from the admission of NJ. Clemenceau,
French free trader, to membership. The club
has hitherto been controlled by the moder-
ate liberals and has always been anti-radi-
cal. There was bitter opposition on the part
of the moderates to the admission of NJ.
Clemenceau and warm support by the
radicals and republicans. The moderates
based their opposition on the ground that
the great Frenchman was pronounced
Socialist and that his admission to member
ship in the Golden Club would be accepted
as an Endorsement by the organization
of extreme republicanism, an act which
they claimed 1t would be suicidal for
the club to commit. The bare statement
of the moderate position exasperated the rad
ical members, and they resorted to such ex-
treme measures for the purpose of pushing
forward their candidates as to make the cleo
tion purely political, dividing the club on
:he partisan line for the first time in its ex-
istence
After Mr. Clemenceau's election his sup
Perters assumed quite a ruling prominence,
which has been so disagreeable to the moder-
ates that many of them have resigned from
membership. Among these are some of the
very pillars of the club including such strong
men as George J. Goschen, Lord Ampthill and
Lord Moreton. The affair has caused much
discussion, and has already resulted in over
lures to the seceders for the formation of a
rival organization. it being generally admit
