dark continent IN empire such as has
never before been known there. Gordon,
says Long, would not be rescued by Wolse-
ley, and now he viii not be discovered
until he gets ready to let the outside
world hear from him. The article reads
like romance evolved from vivid Inn
agination and, written by almost any one
but Long would be dismissed as such,
but Long is the old compan-
ion, the fellow explorer and
the intimate friend of Gordon man
who not only knew the latter well and
thoroughly but is likewise well acquainted
with the country and the people who in
habit it, and he strengthens his theory by
showing that Captain Burton, anothel
veteran African explorer, also thinks i
very probable that Gordon is alive ant
iourishing somewhere In equatorial Afric,
and that Gordon's family have never &C
cepted the reports of his death as conelu
sive or even credible.

The contention of the secretary Is that
American fishing vessels stopping at Cana

the same right, under our commercial

Secretary Bayard's manly and straight
forward letter to Mr.. Frye, showing that
the State Department is wide awake to the
interests of American fishermen in Cana
dian waters, and has already requested the
British government to call to account the
ofiicious collector at Digby, meets the
warm commentator of the press The
New York Sun thinks that the British
government, having :" but languid in.
terest in the spirited attempt of the Move
Scotians to bite of their own noses, will
gently but firmly impress upon the Cana
dams the necessity of abandoning then
present game of bluff and coming to
reason" Newfoundland, nit adds, years
ago prohibited the sale of bait
TO foreigners, but the British
government removed the prohibition.
Moreover, the considerable number OF
people in Nova Scotia to whom the selling
of bait is the principal means of support
will be strong argument for the inter
ference of the home government" This
latter consideration of self.interest figures
prominently in most of the commentaries
on the situation. The Sun advises oui
fishermen to keep cool and be sure TO have
the right on their side, and expresses con
fidence that ''Mr. Bayard will do bis
whole duty as patriotic American charged
with the protection of American interests.
The New York Herald suggests tina
Congress set aside fund of hnlf mil
lion or a million dollars, out of which t.
make good to American fishermen th'
losses they may sustain at the hands O
the Canadians pending "such a settle
ment as shall be final and prevent the re
currence of trouble" adding "Whil'
immediate reparation was thus made, TIL
negotiations between this government ant
that of Great Britain could go on withou
haste, and Mr.. Bayard would present hi
bill of expenses, which, no doubt, woul
be amicably settled by our Britis
friends"

The Baltimore Sun says;

Mr.. Bayard's reply to Senator Frye is an
effective answer also to the criticisms of
Mr.. Blaine and Senator Logan, who, though
perfectly aware of the necessity the state
department was under of proceeding with
decent deliberation, thought to make some
party capital out of its seeming delay. AS
their remarks appeared the same day with
the secretary's demonstration Of his ability
in looking after the rights of American clti-
zens, the defeated Presidential candidates
are put in n rather ridiculous position.
