Mr.. Harris gives the cabinet discus
sions in full, much OF which informa-
ton is published for the first time, and
dcvOtcs an interesting chapter to the
views of European nations concerning
the Trent case. The reply to England's
demand of Secretary Seward Is quoted
and analysed and in many respects
criticised. He shows from numerous
quotations the joy felt in England at
the concession of the northern states
and quotes from "A speech of w. l.. Glad
stone. delivered nj Edinburg in Janu-
airy. 1862, as follows:
Let us look 10 the fact that in the

A Final Cure,

A young lady once called on II OF
Louisville's most prominent homeo-
pathic physicians, and after d~iscoursilg
on all the topics OF interest of the dag
settled down to tell him her ailments.
Among other things she said that she
was greatly annoyed with a sinking
feeling. The physician prepared a little
bottle of pills and gave them to her,
with minute directions as to how they
should be taken. The woman again
began TO talk, and after many vain e.
forts to get her out, she started for the
door. She had just opened II when she
turned and said: "Oh, doctor, what
shall | do IL these pills do not cure
me-" Take the cork" he retorted

southampton. The steamer Trent. ny
inc an English flag, reached the BAHIA
ma channel and there. while under full
way. was intercepted by the United
States wal steamer San JaCinto, COM
mandcd by Capt. Charles Wilkes. Two
shots were fired across her bow before
she hove to and amid the violent pro-
tests Of the English oiiicersand the cor
Tolerate ENJOYS the latter were placed
under arrest and brought back TO New
York, while the steamer was allowed TO
pursue it's voyage. The departure OF
the ENJOYS having been known through
out the north and their Influence hav-
ing been feared, the announcement
of their capture was hailed with Wild
delight BY the United States. Capt.
Wilkes was honored wherever he APP
pcarcd and received official thanks.
England entered a vigorous protest
against this act. Her ship, protected
by her flag, had been boarded In open
sea and passengers had been forcibly
removed. What follows Is history.
England Immediately upon receipt of
the news instructed her representatives
at Washington to demand the immcdi-
ate release of the prisoners and an
apology. Upon "A refusal to comply
with this demand by the United States
the British minister was ordered to re-

present condition and past history OF
American relations with European
powers.
The history Of the diplomatic rela-
lions between England and The thli'd
States in Itself suggests a rich f"id Tor
study, and one OF the most interesting
and heretofore unWritton chapters IS
the famous Trent affair, an incident
which can be wildly recalled by the
surviving veterans Of the civil war.
The story of this celebrated event. up
on the solution of whose delicate prob
lem hung, for a time, the existence of
this country. has been, for the first
time, completely told in all its detail
By Prof. Thomas l.. Harris of the Uni
versity OF Chicago in a book called
'Thc Trent Affair"
II Is well known to the student OF
history that disturbed relations have
existed between England and the United
States in almost unbrokcn succession
since the war Of the revolution. First
after the revolution came the British
claim of the right of search and the
war of 1872 resulted. Then came the
troubles of 1894, growing out of the
same claim, and again In 1858, at which
time the Cuban outrage created such
general Indignation. Towards the
close of 1860 British and American in
ternational affairs had assumed "A much
more favorable aspect than usual.
President Buchanan in his message
congratulated the country upon the
friendly relations since the Clayton
Bulwer treaty had beer settled ana the
right Of search claimed by England
again adjusted. The prince Of Wales
mad Just paid Il visit to this country,
and as the London Post of November
l6, 1860, said: I'VE believe an alliance
has been consolidated which will en-
dure for the mutual benefit not only of
the two nations, but of the civilized
world.
But things soon changed. They al
ways do when things are not Just to
the avaricious liking of John Bull. On

CHICAGO. Aug. s.-Thousands of en-
the Clifton House to see W. j. Bryan and
his wife to-day They came with their
wives and babies and children. But it was
late in the afternoon before their desires
were satisfied. In the first place Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan slept until the middle of the
forenoon. They were weary and worn
from the fatigue and hot weather of yes
terday. Then they wanted to be prepared
for the excitement OF tomorrow. When
they had breakfasted they took a carriage
and alone went to church. They drove to
the Presbyterian Church at Englewood
and listened to an orthodox sermon
preached by the Rev. John Clark Hill. The
divine did not know that the Democratic
nominee and his wife were coming and
two-thirds of the congregation went home
after the services in utter ignorance CT
the fact that their house OF worship had
been honored by his presence. No refer
ence was made to the political issues OF
the day by the preacher in his sermon. nor
did he in his prayers mention the candi-
date or his cause. One reason that Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan attended services at the
Englewood church was because the Rev.
DR.. Hill has accepted call 10 act as pas
tor over the First Presbyterian Church az
Lincoln of which Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan are
both members. They wanted 10 hear their
new pastor. Mr. Hill is now pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Austin. and he
preached at Englewood as supply dur
ing the absence of the regular pastor.
All the while there were thousands of
eager Democrats calling at the Clifton
House to see their national leader. But
they were disappointed After returning TO
the hotel Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan ate dinner
and then took an after-dinner nap, which
lasted until near o'clock in the evening.
Afterwards they went to the parlors and
held an informal reception. The throng
then began to pour in. The Democratic
nominee and his wife were kept busy shak-
ing hands kissing babies and children un-
TIL near the time for their departure. They

vania for the East
