COMMENT IN LONDON
The St Louis Foreign Relation Plank
Is Not to Their Liking.
INVESTORS ARE NERVOUS
rale's Manly Crew Creates q Fa-
vorable impression Upon Every
body But the Sneering "Daily
CourIer"-Be Berlin Gossip.

London. June 20.-The result of the
republican convention at st. Louis was
generally expected here. Consequently
the definite announcement of McKin-
ley's nomination was received with
comparative apathy. financial circles
do not regard the outlook as so i'm
proved as to justify jubilation. The for
eign relations plank OF the platform
Is regarded as Of highly militant char
acter. and apparently 1t has made the
investors somewhat nervous. Upon this
point the Economist remarks: while
the bombastic phrases may mean little
and be intended only TO tickle the cars
of electors. they remind European in
vestors of the possibility of American
securities being deprived of what has
hitherto been regarded as one Of the
advantages"
The Statist says: TT Is the best plat
form possible. but II will not establish
order In the currency. and therefore
will not restore confidence. for II must
never be forgotten that the key to the
position Is held by the senate. which Is
governed by q silverite and populist
majority"
The Saturday Review thinks the re-
suit is most reassuring." adding:
THE democrats are not In a position
to nominate dangerous compepitor to
Mckinley With a silver nominee they
have no chance and there Is a remote
possibility that they may follow st.
Louis In the appeal for hard money.
The sentiment In the East is interesting
because II will involve big concessions
from both organizations. and the FORM
ing Of a third party devoted to silver
and the numerous popullst variations
of state socialism. the fortunes Of which
will be Instructive. perhaps edifying
to follow"
The Globe, conservative. this after
noon says: "The impertinence Of Presi-
dent Kruger and his Berlin inspired
secretary of state will not defeat. al
though 1t may delay. the British policy
OF consolidating the British and Dutch
races In South Africa"
The quiet. gentlemanly behavior of
the Ycle men at Henley. and their
splendid physique. have created the
most favorable impression upon all who
have seen them. They are already
great favorites. and the comments OF
the press generally are of the fairest
and kindliest description. A notable
exception Is Sir George Newne's Daily
Courier which to-day Is full of sneers.
1t says, for instance: "The Cornell men
claimed that their defeat was due to
their being drugged. This years crew
comes of a higher social class. but II
must not be supposed that they are
the social equals Of aristocratic Har-
ward. II the Yale men are beaten. as
Is very possible. they are not likely to
take their defeat as pleasantly as Har-
ward would"
The American Congregationalist pill
grims have arrived In London In the
best Of spirits. They attended a gar
den party at Clapham park as guests
of the HALEY Stewards in celebration
of the 25th anniversary of the estab-
lishment of DR.. Guinness Rogers
church. The ladies of the party are
bitterly disappointed at the fact that
they cannot be present at a sitting of
the house Of commons.
The Marquis Of Salisbury's reply to
the deputation from the International
arbitration league is regarded as the
most encouraging utterance on the
subject ever made In England.
