GREAT POLITICAL CHANGES
SEEM FoRESHADoWED BY THE
MOVEMENT
Secretary Sherman's Letter Thought
to Indicate Desire for War
With England
Associated Press Special Wire.

the west is taken by the Spectator, which
says: Collectivism hitherto has been
confined to foreigners in the United
States, particularly the Germans. But
the new movement means native COL
lectivist party. Such party seems to
be in progress of formation, and may
portend great changes in the character
Of American politics. 1t Is likely to ex-
ercise considerable influence through
out the world sooner or later.
| Assuming that the project were sue
cessful, a collision between the colonists
and trusts would be bound to arise. The
despotisms of trusts would occasion a
combination of Disconnected farmers,
with the artisan population of the cit
les, and the year of 1900 may see
western Populist in the White House,
a congress determined, and state leg
islatures everywhere west of the Mis-
alssippi in complete sympathy with the
revolutionary demands of the collectiv-
lists, who would differ only in detail from
| the German Social Democrats.
LAMBETH CONFERENCE
The proposition to confer upon the
archbishop of Canterbury an of1cia
status as head Of all branches in the
Episcopal church in all parts of the
world, which was one of the most in
teresting questions before the Lambeth
conference, will come to nothing. Eng
| Iipo l1r n
the archbishop established as primate
for the church throughout the world,
but the American bishops, of whom there
are 144 in the conference, arrayed them
selves solidly against the proposition,
and they had as allies several colonial
bishops.
The proceedings of the conference
have BEEN secret and only those resolu-
! tions which may be adopted will be pub
| lished. Secrecy is to be maintained as
to all propositions which fail as well as
discussions.
SEALING QUESTION
The weekly papers take virtually the
same view as the dailies with reference
to Secretary Sherman's, dispatch on the
sealing question.
| The Spectctar says: "He (SheIrna n
scolds the British government as if its
ministers were set of mean, UNDER
handed, thieving scoundrels 1t iS abso-
lutely essential that Lord Salisbury
should refuse the question in any shape
until he has received an apology for such
wanton imputations"
The Speaker says: Mr. Sherman is
an old man. We hope for his sake that
the dispatch was drafted by some SUBJ
ordinate who was for the time being OPP
pressed by the heat. Its language Is
quite strong enough to- justify a suspen-
sion of all diplomatic relations, if that
We're worth while"
The Morning Post, editorially suggest
ing that the time will come when a GER
tain class of Americans will force war,
represents the true constitution of ma
jority of the English people who firmly
believe that the United States is seek
ing a war with Great Britain. An in
! teresting spondence confirming this
view of the matter appeans in the Morn
| ing Post today.
MINOR MATTERS
Visiting Americans are luxuriating in
this temperature and are praising Lon
don as a summer resort, greatly to the
establishment of resident Londoners.
In spite of the beautiful weather and
the very exciting contests, Henley has
| been almost failure this season az
compared with other years. The CHIEF
reason probably is the rebellion which
has come at last against the extortion
practiced at Henley by the hotel keepers
cabmen and boatmen. This class of gen.
try has suffered very much in the same
way the jubilee SPECTATORS did.
Comparatively few Americans were tc
be seen among the spectators Of the re.
gatta. But a number of Harvard meI
whom Mr.. Lehman has been enter.
tanning handsomely have been very
much in evidence and intensely inter.
ested in everything.
The queen will start for Osborne house
Isle of Wight. on Tuesday next. eHr de-
cision to leave Windsor castle is grea
relief to the royal family, who fear tina
she is doing too much for her strength
Every day of the week she has been re
ceiving populations of visitors and en-
PERTAINING guests at luncheon and din
ner.
When she received the bishops tn
other day it was at her own suggestion
that a number had been personally pre-
sented to her. To Bishop Whipple ant
Bishop Potter she said: 81 am very glat
indeed to see you here"
On Thursday the queen received E
deputation of non-conformists, headed
by DR.. Joseph Parker, minister of thu
City temple, and DR.. Monroe Gibson
formerly of Chicago and Toronto. He,
majesty received them with even NOR,
ceremony than she did the Episcopal
ians. They all lunchedlat the castle, ant
then proceeded to the drawing room
where they were ushered into the pres
ence of the court, with a guard of honor
While the end of the season e almos
at hand, this week has been one of tn,
gayest Of the year in London. Ever,
night there have been balls and recep
tons at which royalty and others of tn
most exclusive set have been present
One feature of the season and possibl,
the chief feature, has been the revival O
dancing among hte men. Heretofor
one of the chief difficulties which Lon
don hostesses had to contend with ha
been the correct thing for the youn,
ment to refuse to dance and only turf
up at the SUPPER time.
This year a few prominent hostesse
formed sort Of social trust and de
clined to invite notorious offenders-mel
who thought their position rendere,
