Why Americans Dislike the British.
LONDON, June 2G.-The Echo this
afternoon published an interview with
DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew, in which he
is quoted as expressing the belief that
the arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain will
be law before the end of the present
Mckinley administration. Regarding
the anti-British feeling in the United
States. he remarked:
Americans have 4 deep distrust Of methods
Of the British government and regard the
British as land RTabhers. / admit that when
the British grab they give the people better
government. but americans fear they will not
be content with getting the land OF the old
world, but are going to try TO grab in the new
world Anything of that kind done in our herni-
sphere We want to do ourselves. This suspicion
OF the foreign policy Is the reason for the failure
Of the arbitration treaty. though Irish opinion
may have helped, for America has deep SYM
pathy for Ireland and home rule. for 1t seems
70 be the natural development OF the federal
idea. 4 permanent tribunal for Great Britain
and America must come, President Nick inley

NEWPORT, Ncb., June "a most
unusual condition of excitement exists
in this section of the state. due to the
preaching of a child, a frail youth of
IS years, who really looks to be no
older than nine. Crowds are focking
weekly to Newport from adjoining
counties to participate in the re-
yival that has been developed by the
child. Rev. John L, De Merritt is
the youngest ordained minister in the
world. He lives mere with his par
ents, who are in very reduced cir
cumstances, Though he has been at
tracing attention for some time as a
most precocious child, the most extra
ordinary ability of the youth as a pull
pit orator was not suspected until re-
Gently, when he commenced to p"artici-
pate extensively in revival work. At
Broken Bow, Newport, and other points
through Rock county this little ad-
vocate of Gods ministry on earth has
spoken to crowds. sometimes averag-
ing 5000 people.
