The fight occurred in stable near the

LONDON, Sept. 3.--The Standards bel
licose leader this morning beginning with
the pompouA announcement that Canada, /,
should the necessity unfortunately ariiet
has behind her the guns OF English iron
clads has produced over London one pro-
longed guifaw have seen nobody in
town who does not regard IL absolute
nonsense. II is a matter Of fact, as cabled
on Saturday, that Canada has been noti-
fed to thut up.
There are two theories afloAt' In news
paper circles one that the Standard g
leader is a canDonRde of blank cartridge
TO cover the retreat OF Canada the other
Is that 1t is q scheme to bear American
railways, but the idea that England Is
back OF the Dominion is utter folly.
OTHER PRESS COMMENTS
The Pail Mall Gazette denounces the
Standard for Its violent ut erances on the
fisheries question, and charges the paper
with Gu raging that good feeling which
ought to exist between Great Britain and
the United States
The Star Ct. P. 0'Connor's), regrets
that the Standard had not followed the
example Of the Canadian ministers who,
while vigorously defending the treaty
nave CAfciuiiy ToiFAAheu Hom eulOitSSt ihB
the controversy BY language Of insult, IN
which the Standard reyels. The Ameri-
can "bArk," in the stress Of politics, 1t
says, is worje than it's "blte." 1t says
1t does not doubt that after the election
the fisheries question will be satisfactorily
settled.
The st. James Gazette ridioules this
idea Of A'war between Great Britain and
the United States. 1t sugges;s that the
rejection of the Fisheries Treaty has
given England and opportunity to ascer
tain how far Imperial federation can te
made q serious reality or whether 1t must
remain q sentimental wish.

much abused wife behind convulsed in

deserted his wife, and attempts d to tave
himself by casting vile insinuations upon
her character With tears running down
her cheeks the young mother listened to
his story, and then exclaimed; Lewis,
for Gods sake don tell such falsehoods.

"Your Honor. she said as she looked

When the visitor handed his card to

made somewhat of sensation, and the
