THE Mur1SEERs NOT ALONE TO BLAME


several years ago. A prominent Conserve
i've organ even declared that the situation
is so acute that Mr.. Asquith, the dome
Secretary, has threatened to resign.
It's an open secret that there has been
difference of opinion in the Ministry as to
the settlement of the Trafalgar square
question, but the matter was arranged by.
the general acceptance Of the compromise
which was announced in these dispatches
"Wednesday. This settlement was proposed
bv Mr.. Asouith himself, who converted the
other members of the Ministry to this SIM
nle solution of knotty question which the
Conservatives had expected would DO
thorn in the side of the Governments 1or
long time to come,
The present difficulty has been greatly |
maenifed in Tory quarters Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor of the E1-
cbeouer. is said to be resolute against the
release of any of the dynamite prisoners,
while Mr.. Asquith favors the granting OF
amnesty to many of them, though even ne
hesitates to favor the general pardon OF all
the dynamiters.
The Dificulty Probably Not Serious.
The Liberals ridicule the idea that there
is any serious dissension over the matter
Besides it is believed in independent cir
cles that Mr.. Asquith, who is young ana
ambitious, is not likely to jeopardize ms
newly-won position. to which six mouths

non Harcourt has decided that the next
budget, which he intends shall be thorough

faction to the working classes, which have
| for a long time been agitating this subject
The recent manifestations Of mutiny,
| coming one atop of another In crack regi-
ments like the Guards and the Thirteenth
Hussars. are creating feeling bordering on
consternation throughout the country and
causing a general outcry for thorough IN
| ouiry into the cause Of what appears to Dc
widespread discomfort
The Men Not Alone to Blame.
| Letters published in the newspapers from
| soldiers some Of whom still belong to dis
contented regiments, force the belief that the
officers are greatly to blame. It Is asserted
that many officers of the Life Guards are
onite ignorant of their duties, rarely atte nd
drills and are obliged to have subordinatea
near them on field days to tell them the
word of command to give. Soldiers have
even been known to execute movements
without commands from their ofhcers IN
order to save the credit OF the troops. Ye'
The same officers whom they inspect troops,
rooms and stables find the most stupla ano
most trivial faults and impose extreme
nuhishment on the soldiers for their al
legged remissness. -,
Little interest is shown In yachting
circles in regard to the proposed race FOL
the American cup. This apathy is chiefly
due to the fact that Lord Dunraven'I
challenge emanates from himself and with
out the sanction of any leading yacht club
Kinlock Cooke, Lord Dunraven's private
secretary, writing the Pail Mall Gazette, o.
which he was appointed editor last week
expresses his confidence that the projectet
race will take place. He says he has litti
doubt that the clauses in Lord Dunraven'
challenge, to which objection has beel
made, will be abandoned, and that an agree
ment satisfactory to all concerned Will
reached.
The Interest Over Jupiter's Extra Moon.

coyery Of fifth satellite of Jupiter +. W
