Apathy Of the Mother Country
During Past Periods of
Starvation.
FRIENDLY TO THIS COUNTRY.
There Are Many Who Would Will.
ingly Become Citizens of the
United States.

ST. JOHNS, NEWFOUNDLAND, Nov. g.
Never before the history of this island
has the outlook for the future been as dis
NAL looking as at the present time. Unless
some measures of relief are quickly i'm
provised and as quickly carried out the
results of the famine. which is manifesting
itself already, will be terrible, far sur
passing the horrors of last winter.
Among the people of the island the
strong feeling against the British Home
Government, which has been manifesting
itself during long interval, has now
nearly reached point which bodies ill.
The apathy of Great Britain, when the
people of the colony were starving last
winter, without the Home Government
making an offer of assistance, has done
more than anything else to bring about
this feeling toward the mother country,
and each day the feeling for consolidation
with the United States is growing in
strength, and, unless different course is
pursued by the Home Government at an
early date, an open secession is not re-
mote possibility.
The feeling of the island is best repre-
sented by the views of one of the most
r
er;ck Woods of the Newfoundland relief
committee, who In speech delivered q
short time ago to demonstrative meeting
held in Boston voiced the sentiment of
the colony in the following words, and
coming as it does from an authoritative
source is valuable as denoting the feeling
in the island. He said:
sob, if we could only take our old island
and lay her at the feet of Uncle Sam.
wish to God we could. That sentiment
is deeply rooted not only in my own breast
but in that of my fellow-countrymen !;
but-and it is well that Americans should
know it-there is feeling of despair over
the coldness of the subject. We do not
wish the United States to plunge into war
on any account We do not even want her
to even do anything that would offend
England; but we do think that as the
magisterial power in the New World it
ought to show some degree of sympathy
to the New World people, especially to
those who are destined ere long to come
under the American flag as American citi-
zens."
This speech has aroused no end of COM
ment, and when it is viewed in the light
of having come, as it were, st raight from
the natives of Newfoundland itself, its
political importance cannot be overesti-
mated. During the last few years the
mother country has seemingly taken no
notice of Newfoundland's weakness, and
has never offered to help her in an emer-
gency, while this attitude has in part
been taken by Canada.
During the famine of last winter. by far
the greatest amount of succor came from
the United States, relief expeditions being
sent out from nearly all the ports on the
Atlantic seaboard. This has done more
than anything else to cement the feeling
of friendliness toward the United States,
and as prominent politician expressed it

WOULD RELEASE WALLER,
France Willing to Liberate the
Imprisoned Ex-Consul to
Madagascar.
But the United States Government Is
Not Yet Ready to Waive
Indemnity.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 9.-Secre-
tary Olney has received an intimation of
the willingness of France to release John
L. Waller from prison as an act of gracious
ness to the United States, but as an accept
ance of this offer might prevent this Gov
ernment from subsequently demanding an
indemnity for his imprisonment, condi-
ton to which Waller, it is understood, does
not agree, the prospects are that tedious
diplomatic negotiations are the last re-
source.
1t is posltitively denied that Mrs. Waller
has been compelled to appeal to the State
Department to secure Walters release on
the ground that he is dying in his cell.
Mrs. Waller herself declares emphatic
ally that she has not received from her
husband, nor have any of his friends, let
ters saying that his health is failing or ex-
pressing the belief that he cannot live
much longer, as telegraphed from Wash
ington last night. 1t is known that the
State Department is not at all satisfied
that Waller has valid ground for an in
demnity, some of the evidence on the sub
ject being extremely conflicting.

The transportation committee of the Re-

in San Francisco held meeting at the
Palace Hotel yesterday. In the absence Of
H. E. Huntington, who was out on the
railway with c. P. Huntington, the
Southern Pacific Company was repre-
sented by T. Il. Goodman, general passen-
ger agent.
The purpose of the meeting was to secure
assurances from the various railroads west
of Chicago that $50 return rate would be
made between that city and San Francisco
for delegates and others coming to the
convention here.
Only one railway was backward in maxi
ing reply. The Burlington route was
not heard from, so it was decided at the
meeting to telegraph at once to its head
Offices for special rate.
1t was announced that three lines would
make a $50 return rate from Chicago, and
they are the principal roads this side of
the Missouri River:

NOW KNOWN AS 1.-THE JOURNAL. -
w. n. Hearst Changes the Name of His
New York Paper and Enters the
Race With Vim.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 9-W. R.
Hearst has changed the name of his paper,
which was formerly known as The Morn
ing Journal. 1t now appears under the
name of The Journal. Mr.. Hearst is de-
voting all OF his attention to the Journal,
and it is predicted that he will make his
paper felt as factor in metropolitan jour
nalism. He has shaved off his mustache
in accordance with the current fashion in
Park Row, and is now regarded as an out
and-out New Yorker. It is reported in
newspaper circles that several more of his
bright young men will soon be brought
from San Francisco to increase the already
brilliant staff with which he has sur
rounded himself.
