LONDON, Aug. 14.-The Spectator,
discussing the provocative and un-
friendly line of American politicians OF
both parties toward England" says:
I'VE are obliged to write as we never
dreamed of being forced to write about
a, country only less dear to us than our |
own. But we should fail in our pubic
duty if we did not point out in the
strongest manner the grave risks winch
are likely to come from this attituoe'
Unless the United States assumes very
different tone the gravest crisis is GER
tain to ensue. Public opinion IN Eng
land has greatly changed during the last
few months, and even if Lord SALISBURY
is anxious to politely ignore such mas
cretions as Secretary Sherman's, the
people would not permit it, and hereafter
demands, if urged in unfrlenoly laH-
guage, will be resisted unanimously py
the nation, no matter what the risks may
be. If America does not keep peter
watch over her politicians they VIII
hurry her into conflict with this coun-
| trv of which no one is able to see the
end"
CREHORES TELEGRAPH
The postofice officials here are deeply
interested in the experiment in telegra-
nhv made by Prof Crehore of Dartmouth
college. and Lieutenant Squire, military
attache at Fortress Monroe, who claim
their device enables messages to pc
| x.-ttl tro
Iity. The inventors said to representa-
tive of the Associated Press:
"The experiments over short circuits
in the United States have been very sat
isfactory. but we are unable to secure
facilities for long distance operations,
and for that came to England and asked
the help of the government. The gov
ernment plant has been placed at oul
dispqsal lui7ia ham,
1t is understood the tests made have
been entirely satisfactory. The inven-
tors, however, are, reticent pending full
ldemonstra tion of the practicability Of
their scheme. They seem to fear possi-
BILE rivalry. 1t is claimed that their de-
vice will transmit enough matter in an
hour over single wire to fill page of a
newspaper.
INDIAN AFFAIRS
It Is said that the Afghan officials have
been concerned in the recent riots in In
dia, and British troops are now being
pushed to the frontier to show that
England is alive to the danger of the
Isituation. 1t is strongly hinted that the
long threatened Russian intrigue has
materialized, but circumstances hardly
Warrant this assumption.
THE WINE CROP
Wine exporters say that the vintage
of 1897 will not rank high. The best re-
ports have been received from Mayence,
where it is said that very heavy crop
is assured In the important wine dis
tricts of Germany a high quality OF
grapes is expected.
The French vintage is much Smaller
than that of 1896, though it is of fair
quality. The port and sherry districts
are lacking in both quantity and quality
HENRTS DUELS
A dispatch from Paris received late
tonight, says a sensational rumor is
being circulated there that Prince Henri
of Orleans will fight his duel with the
Prince of Naples, the Count Of Turin

The Soir asserts that the Count of Tu-
rim, who arrived in Paris incognito, was
informed by the Italian ambassador to
France that King Humbert would pro-
lhibit him from fighting Prince Henri.
