II remember Mckinley" says one Of
his oldest friends, quoted in the St..
Louis Globe-Democrat, "as a man with
his full share of impulsiveness. The
time was when The gave away as other
men do under strain or provocation.
DO you want to know what wrought
the change? For twenty-five years
this man has stood between his wife
and all that might give her the slight
est worry. No matter what the load
he was bearing, he has never failed to
wear into her presence a smiling face.
Whatever emotions might be surging
underneath, he has appeared calm and
placid on the surface. This frail be-
sng owes her life to his shielding care.
Self-control was born rof that twenty
ave years of devotion. There you have
the whole explanation Of what is so
admirable in McKinley's character"

ROASTING MIR. SHERMAN. 8
British Editors Indulge in some

BRUSH Editors Indulge in Some Sc
we're Criticism.
LONDON, Aug. 10. - Commenting on
the interview Of the New York World
with Secretary Sherman, the st. James
Gazette says:
secretary Sherman's utterances at
ford no material for denial by his
friends Of the statement that he is suf-
terlng from senile decay. But, after
all, Mr.. Sherman represents America,
ana we are certain all International
courtesies will be Observed
Inc Gazette refers to the Kalonky
incident when it says: austria prop
erly severed diplomatic relations with
Great Britain and Mr.. Gladstone apol-
oglzed for his attack on the dual mon
archy,' and asks why there is one law
IN Europe and another in America. 1t
repeats its recent warning that this
is a dangerous line of policy to follow
and that some day Great Britain may
cau upon Washington to back up its
bluff. 80 =
The Westminster Gazette remarks:
ihe interview is fruity example of
Sherman's saloon style.'' The Globe
says:
"Secretary Sherman had better rid
going to boss the show, either on the
gold fields or in the fisheries. We are
not ready to follow every quarrel with
blows; but when we strike we strike
hard, and the idea of being afraid of
third-rate naval power like the United
States could only have occurred to d
lunatic or to Mr.. Sherman. Judging
from his latest performances we may
charitably assume that the rumors
that MIR. Sherman is suffering from
mental disturbances are correct
The utterances attributed to Secre-
tary Sherman upon which the COM
ment of the London papers is based
We're:
ENGLAND is a great country, but it
is not always safe to assume that she
is ready to follow, up every quarrel
with blows. She quarrels oftener than
she fights. It would be exceedingly
difficult for her to fight us all alone
about our seal catching. Russia and
Japan are in a similar position. and
any quarrel between the United States
and England on this score would, in
all probability, involve those other two
countries"

lncited by the newspaper publica-

quietly looking into the matter with a
view to preparing themselves tor any
controversy that might arise. Their
views are, i'm substance, THAT there can
