ANOTHER LEADER LOST.

The announcement of Sir William HarcOurt
intention to retire from public life Will be re-
ccved with more regret than surprise. For
some years such action on his part has been re-
garlcd as impending. The burden of years Is
beginning to weigh heavily upon hlni-to-day
is the sxty-ninth anniversary of his Dlrth-and
his ply steal health is becoming uncertain. Ih'ls
though there Is as yet the slightest abatement
of his intellectual vigor, his readiness In debate
and his masterfu skill in leadership. it would
be a welcome relief to him to be rid Of the cares
and the hurry burly Of political life. and to spend
the afternoon of his distinguished career in the
quiet OF his study. among the books which he
loves so WELL and which he has read and reread
to so good purpose.
There Is lust now. OF course, an additional
incentive TO retirement. He has been regarded
not only as n friendly rival Of Lord Rosebery
for the Liberal leadership which he was. but
nlso by many. as an enemy to that statesman,
secretly intriguing for his embarrassment and
downfall which he Of course. was not. Sir
William was, In fact, by his admirable leader
ship in the Commons, the strongest support
OF the Roscbery Administration. Now, how
ever, Lord ROscbery has resigned the leader
ship and malicious tongues have begun to raise
the cry that Sir William has crowded him out.

The Embargo Act, passed In 1907 by

Of March /, 1900, enabled vessel hold

British goods almost without restrlc-
tion. This Napoleon chose to consider

lean vessels, with their cargoes, worth
together over $s,000.OO0. were seized.
His dealings with the United States
were very irregular; between 1902 and
1911, on one pretext or another, 55S
ships flying their flag were seized In
French harbors; and the number seized
in those OF Holland, Spain, Denmark
and Naples was also very large; but
during the same period Great Britain
seized OF, and there Is no proof that
Napoleon intended anything more than
forcing the transatlantic republic into
hostility with England.-Century.
