She London Standard don't seem
to think much of the U. 5. navy
from the following: 1T would be
almost relief to Spain to turn from
the inglorious struggle in Cuba to re-
lieve her disasters by some dramatic
stroke OF vengeance on the Ameri-
cans. Who shall say that Spain
lacks the power to give effect TO its
resentment. In the long run the
United States can provide any force
needed, but it is the merest truism
to say that at the moment America
has no navy that could hold the sea
against the Spanish fleet. !"

question and this is what he SAID:
..I will throw no obstacle in the way
of the Republicans in tariff leglsla-
ton in the next Senate. l will not
oppose anything that will help any
part of the country for the reason
alone that it is party measure. 1
Will support a measure proposed by
any party if it will help this country

that instead of running along with a
deficit in the revenues, we should
always have surplus. There should
ALWAYS be a contingent fund, and the
great government of the Uniteo'
with its wealth and progress, should
never be confronted with deficit in
its public revenues, and should never
offer an excuse of inability to pay
promptly all obligations. Ii a high
tariff will give the required, or more
than the required, amount OF revenue
will favor bill of that kind. .
This shows what stuff Sam McEnerN
is made of, not to oppose thing be-
cause it might be a party measure
Some may oppose his views, bu
we think he is on the right track.

THE GOVERNOR GuiLTLEsA

Sir Hercules Robinson Dsniss Previous
Knowledge Of Jamssou's Raid.
LONDON, May 5.-At the request Of
the secretary Of state for the colonies.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, in the house
Of commons. Mr.. Henry Labouohere
agreed to postpone until Thursday all
questions regarding the publication Of
the pretoria cryptograms and in re.
gard to the action the government pro.
posed to take towards the British
Chartered South Africa company and
its directors.
Mr.. Chamberlain, replying to q
question, said he had received q tele.
gram from the governor Of Cape Col.
ony, Sir Hercules Robinson. with
reference to the cryptogram, which
have been construed as implying that
Sir Hercules had knowledge Of the plan
to invade the Transvaal The tele.
gram from Sir Hercules is as follows:
II cannot state too implicitly that
never received from any one the slight,
eat hint Of what was about to occur
and the news Of the invasion Of Dr..
Jameson came like bolt out of blue
sky. II there should be any insinua-
ton to the contrary, / rely upon you to
protect my charactey in my absence"
Chamberlain Believes 1t.
Mr.. Chamberlain added that he had
explicit confidence in the statement of
Sir Hercules Robinson and he, the sec.
rotary of state for the colonies, never
for a moment believed the rumors.
When Mr.. Chamberlain was ques.
toned regarding the cryptogram from
johannesburg urging that the raid be
postponed till Cecil Rhodes had
pledged that the imperial government
would not assert authority over the
Transvaal in tho event of success, Mr..
Chamberlain replied:
Mr.. Rhodes had no authority to
pledge the imperial government in any
way, and he was not aware Mr.. Rhodes
had done So"

MARKET REPORTS.
Chicago Produce.

CHICAGO. - Especial. - Wheat had
rair local trade within 7sc range, closing
Hc above inside. figures but Nc lower than
yesterday. The market opened rather
strong on renewal of chinch bug stories
from Oklahoma and Kansas, with bullish
crop reports from the northwest. Early
cables, however. were Disappointing in rot
fully responding to our advance of yester-
day. Weather was generally favorable and
buyers of yesterday manifested a general
desire to realize profits, causing sharp
break. The cash demand here and at the
seaboard was light, which led to profes.
sional selling and kept the price down.
Corn fairly active within zsc range, clos
ing nc fr,m the bottom and Nc lower
than yesterday. The market was strong
for time on urgent demand from July
shorts, one house alone taking three quar-
tiers If million bushels. But the weather
was favorable, which, with the break in
wheat. caused sympathetic slump in corn.
Oats followed wheat and corn, fiuctuating
within Nc range, closing Hc from the
