the Times thinks President Harrison's
views are not very clear,
The Daily MswS says:
Gold had q more decisive influence on
the late election than on any that has
gene before. The rich on both sides
virtually buy places In the administra.
ton by liberal donations TO campaign
funds, II Is q form Of the purchase sys-
tenn which bodies no good to the State,
and shows that civil service reform must
begin at the very apex OF the pyramid.
President HarrlsOn's inaugural address
is remarkable for its numerous foreign
illusions. The Union may refuse to
grow In territory, but cannot refuse to
grow IN interests, The creation OF q
navy Is evidently due to other consider
ations than the necessity for reducing
the surplus, The world may soon have
to reckon with a new naval power.
There arc more disquieting signs for
those who care to find them in the curl
Gus Interchange OF views on commercial
union between Canada and America
than In the fisheries question.
The Standard says:
The message, on the whole, Is disap.
pointing. Mr.. Harrison was under a
special obligation to strike resounding
chord. Some Of the phrases suggest
Walt Whitman, but 1t Is more reasOna-
Bile To credit the prolific fancy OF Mr..
Blaine with It's full unaided aspiration.
1t was certainly not written to please
Anglo.Saxons on this side OF the At
lantic. II It's form was not adopted
with any view to our appreciation, still

The Morning Post says:
President Harrison's address Is mark

bast, and II this marks the future tone
Of the National policy another element
in the concord Of the world will have
been secured.
The Daily Telegraph says:
There Is nothing ut oil In the address
to excite alarm. The fact that Mr.. Har.
rison is so well disposed to deal with
foreign affairs in n calm and equitable
spirit will be remarked with satisfaction
by every country in the Old World with
which America has friendly relations
and occasional differences.
Tho Chronicle says the address will be
searched in vain for anything calculated
to enlist the sympathies OF Englishmen.
All the Unionist dailies make point OF
Mr.. Harrison's references TO law and
order as lesson to England in the Irish

New York, March 5.-The reported
fight between a German and an Anerl.
can man.of.war of Samoa, which was
referred to in yesterdays cable dis.
patches, was the subject OF considerable
comment among naval officers. One aud
all are OF the opinion that II the Ger

any vessel at the island 1t must have
been with the little Eipsic, or possibly
with the Trenton. Although the Van
dalia and Trenton are due In Samoa by
this time, 1t Is not yet known whether
either OF the vessels have completed the
passage. Naval officers have been lay
ing wagers on the result OF the race be-
tween the two ships.
The Trenton and Yandalia left for
Samoa about the same time, the Tren-
ton starting from Panama with Admiral
Kimberly on board, and the Vandalia
from San Francisco with Can't. G. M.

tight one, with perhaps the slightest ad-
vantage in favor OF the Vandalia. The
NipSiC has been at Samoa under the
command OF Commander Mullane ever
since this officer retired the Adams from
the island work.
1t Is very easy for naval officers 10 un-
