LONDON, Feb. 23.-The Economist, in an article on the new United States loan i, says:
 ''If the United States govero ment had appealed to the investors directly they would have realized to their own advantage something of the high price which the loan obtains. It would appear that MT. Cleve- land underrated the credit of the United States, but it will be his duty nevertheless to summon a session of the new congress as speedily as possibie.''
 The State says: 'If the new congress does not pass requisite measures another loan equalling this one will be necessary before the end of the year, and possibly there may still be larger borrowing in 16a6 !,

He charged them if they believed window, had been excited to the attack by Captain Cooke, he was not guilty; if they believed that Ben Huey, Jr., in rushing down stairs saw Cooke with his pistol lev- eled at his brother, Eugene, then he should be acquitted. All other points were gone through with likewise, and the jurors filed into their room, remaining two hours.

it would be maritime war. Just now the dis
parity between the two nations if war follows
is marked. England has 564 ships of war with
an armament approximating 1000 guns. The
United States has II ships Of war, with an ar
mament OF about 800 guns. The English army
numbers over 1,0OOO00 men, The army of the
United States is less than $4,000 men. But Eng
land has other territory to protect in case OF
war. 1t has also the other powers of continent
tai Europe to constantly watch. 1t always has
its hands full to protect its interests at home.
The feeling of defiance made by the president
must have struck the sympathetic heart of the
American people, Today he has been deluged
with kilograms approving his course. Senators
and members of congress are burdened with
dispatches to back him up. Tenders Of services
from every quarter of the union have been
made the secretary of war,
THIRD TERM PROBABLE.
The political view of the serious complica-
tions is also discussed. 1t is admitted that at
one stroke the president has regained, by his
vigorous sentences, all the prestige he lost as
to his foreign policy in the earlier stages of his
administration. 1t is conceded to be of robust
Americanism. Indeed, so much so that his re-
nomination is now viewed more in the light of
q necessity than fear. There are not few who
believe that the president promulgated this
message with the direct view to further his
chances for at least another term. And IL war
be the outcome there are those who predict
that all the noise against third term will be
instantly hushed.
If, however the contention is allowed to
drift, reaching climaxes by slow progression
there are those who look upon Harrison as the
dangerous competitor. The issue of campaign
with war on the horizon would be not one OF
tariff or finance. The battle would be fought
on the strict lines of American patriotism. II
would center upon the candidate with a record
and with an American policy. Harrison made
such record as president, and left behind 0
policy too Enthusiastically American to be cloud.
ed in doubt, Just as Cleveland has now emerged
in vigorous English did Harrison precede hin
when we were on the verge of difficulty witt
the Chilean republic. So if it be war it may bt
the old candidates over again. This is the view
among the more far-sighted.
1t will be noted in other dispatches that thu
house has already made an appropriation t
carry out the president S idea of commission
But a good deal more pregnant is Mr.. Chan
dlers bill for 100000, 600 for coast defense
This would seem to foreshadow that we are t,

of peace prepare for war" In this city the wa
