Enthusiasm, in the Colonies.

London. June 23.-The Times and
ali the morning papers contain long
kilograms from all the colonies de-
scribing the enthusiasm in connection
with jubilee fetes. The editorials eX-
press a rather quiet satisfaction over
the jubilee honors, though the Liberal
organs betray some measu of disap-
pointment. Literature is practically
ignored. There is a unanimous APP
prevail, however. of the honors confer
red upon colonial statesmen, and this
is especially keen in the case of Mr..
Laurier. The admission of the pre-
miers to the privy council is regarded
as a sort of recognition of the right of
the colonies to share in the imperial
councils. The Daily Chronicle says:
'If, as we believe, this was Mr.. Cham
berlain's idea, we heartily congratu-
late him."
