Precisely what Sir Wilfrid Laurier. is
in Washington for has not yet appeared,
but beyond question his mission bears up
on the relations of this country and the
Dominion. The tariff bill which he re-
Gently passed through Parliament was
designed to bind the Dominion and the
mother country closer together, and
separate the former and the United States
more widely apart. But there are signs
that he is inclined to retreat from that
policy, and seek closer relations with us.
Up to very recent period Sir Wilfrid
had always been strong advocate of re-.
ciprocity, and the expectation that bis
elevation to the premiership would secure
it, had much to do with his success. The
Dingley tariff law undoubtedly produced
considerable vexation in Canada, and for
time Sir Wilfrid undoubtedly shared in
it. He appears now to be getting back to
his old views. It would seem to be possible
to arrange limited reciprocity between
the two countries which would be adyan-
tageous to both. Certainly it is desirable
that two nations close together, both of
the same blood and origin should be upon
more amicable terms than has been the
case of late.

Burke said that Cancellation should
precede force not follow it. Gen. Blaneo
is likely.to learn soon that the English
statesman knew what he was saying. In
his capacity as Captain General he has
just offered general amnesty to the rebels
if they will lay down their arms. Pos
sibly two years ago they might have
been prevented from taking up arms by
the offer of genuine reforms in the gov
eminent of the island, reforms that would
have afforded reasonable measure of self
control over their own local affairs. But
TWO years of a conflict conspicuous for its
barbarities and inhumanities, in which
their fathers and brothers and sons
have been shot by thousands
and their property ruthlessly de-
stroyed, have steeled their hearts
until they would choose to die in the last
ditch rather than accept any concession
short of their whole demand Of indepen-
dence and freedom. Even If they regard
ed their cause as. hopeless the acceptance

The ST. James Gazette is very good
mirror of high Tory sentiment in Eng
land and its recent editorial comments
on the relations of the United States and
Spain are perhaps worthy of note. 1t OBJ
serves somewhat significantly that Spain
has now tacitly recognized the right of
the United States to intervene in Cuba.
The time was when the Government at
Madrid would have resented any such
pretension f1ercely. Whatever phrases it
may use in the hope of protecting its
dignity, whatever show it may make of
entering on the path of concession OF It's
own free will, the substantial fact re-
mains that after persistently refusing to
grant any reforms till the .Cubans had
laid down their arms, 1t has come for
ward with a scheme of .self-government
for the islands, while the rebels are still
unsubdued, and after hearing what Mo
Kinley's envoy had TO say. The journal
draws the conclusion, that Washington
has put pressure on Madrid, and that
Madrid has yielded Therefore, the par
ties concerned in this task of pacifying
the Pearl of the Antilles are the United
States, Spain and Cuba, and 1t Is the

And still the good work goes on, only
more so. The Baldwin Locomotive works
have received the largest foreign order for
locomotives received for many months,
the value of which aggregates over $780,
COO. Finland, Brazil, Mexico, and far
away Norway are5the respective destina-
tions of these locomotives. Heretofore
orders from these sections were placed
with foreign makers, and to met this
demand the Baldwin firm says it will be

on their part of concession that fell short
of their whole demand would be doubt
full. But the mere offer of such a bride
is sure to be regarded as evidence Of
Spanish weakness and inspire them with
new hope in the final success of their
efforts at freedom. Blanco's proclamation
willsbe construed as virtual admission
that Spain has arrived at the conclusion
that it cannot put down the rebellion
by force, and that It's last hope lies in
ooaxing the rebels into submission by

a despatch to the London Standard

found in the Caucasus which have ap-

of these minerals is a kind of coal ashes,
from which N. Czernils obtained con-
siderable Equantity Of he!ium and a
quantity of the rare earths which are en-
pIoyed in the manufacture of the manteIs
used in incandescent gas lighting. The
other mineral is called cerite. 1t consists
mainly of argon. This discovery is viewed
as noteworthy, from the fact that the

Sailed With Fire. A Story of Minis
ter. By George Macdonald. In the be-
ginning Of this story fine analysis of
the minister's character is given, and the
reader is surprised that so selfish and
self-righteous a person should fall. He
does not appeal to our sympathy, but
later on in the work commands our re-
spect. While divinity student he COM
mitted a sin, which for time brought
only shame in the failure of his fancied
strength. He consoled himself with the
thought that he was no worse than many
others who were deliberately guilty of the
same offense. He was finally brought to
repentance and as far as possible made
atonement. There are several strong
characters in the story, and throughout
the truth is forcibly presented ''that what
a man soweth that shall he also reap. ,"

1t is mystery which seems to call for
explanation how the treasurer of the
Lubec Savings bank was able to embezzle
S25, 600 of the banks fund without getting
found out long before this, for it seems
to be admitted that his embezzlement ex-
tends over a considerable period. In
June, 1896. the Bank Examiners exami-
nation showed deposits of s9,5S6.24, re-
serve fund $500, undivided profits $206 30,
bills payable 81, 1904 total of $40. 552.6O In
liabilities, and various stocks, bonds ana
mortgages sufficient in amount to cover
the liabilities, and leave small surplus.
Yet it appears now that the treasurer has
stolen an amount equal to more than
double the resources of the bank as report
ed a year ago. He has carried off the bank
twice over, and nobody seems to have sus-
pected anything until it was gone.

The legislature Of Georgia has just
passed law forbidding foot ball in that
state The immediate cause of this action
was the killing of student Of the Uni
versity of Georgia in a foot ball game. In
other states than Georgia there are signs
of legislation either to abolish the game or
to modify it in some of its most danger
Gus features. While last year the foot
ball season passed off with few serious
accidentsEthis year there have been quite
a number of fatal injuries besides q good
many of serious but not fatal nature.
The reason of the difference seems to be
that some of the reforms that wore intro
duced last year have been allowed to
lapse. Experience seems to show that the
majority of the serious accidents happen
to the inexperienced players or those who
are not very strong. Foot ball as now
played is evidently a game that no one
should engage in unless he is perfectly
sound, and his muscles have been hard
ened by training and practice. Such
people may play:it perhaps without much
danger of serious injury. None others
may.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.


The PRESS has received three operettas
from the pen of III. G. Bunner, with mu-
SIC by Oscar Well. These operettas are
published together in most attractive
book form, handsomely illustrated by
=. ID. Weldon and c. j. Taylor, and
published by the we'll known firm Of Har-
per Brothers. The first is entitled The
Three Kittens in the Land of Pie, and
Is in two acts. The second is the familiar
Seven Old Ladies' of Lavender Town, al.
SO in two acts; and the third, Bobby
Shaftoe, in three acts. Both Mr.. Bunner
as librettist and Mr.. Veil as musical
composer are SO well known that it is
unnecessary TO more than refer to their
names to assure our readers of the merits
of their work. The music is extremely
bright and catchy and eminently fitted
to the words of the operettas, which are
particularly adapted to the use of young
people, who will like to present them on
the amateur stage, while there is so much
that is pleasing that they are really well
adapted for professional use. In their
present book form they constitute very
taking gift to any one unsteady inclined.

DOESN'T INTEND TO YIELD.
Sultan stin Holding Out Against the
Powers.

Constantinople, July 11.-Queen Vic
toria, Emperor William, Emperor Nicho
las, President Faure and King Humbert
have replied to the kilograms received by
them from the Sultan, and all give advice
similar to that sent by Emperor Francis
Joseph.
Emperor William says in substance that
he regrets his inability to dis-associate
himself from the views held by the 9th
er powers.
Replies to the circular of the Turkish
government to the Powers relative to the
frontier question, have also been received
by the ambassadors. They all decline tc
admit the Turkish pretensions.
The Porte has sent another circular to
the Powers, proposing that in view of the
disturbed condition existing in Crete,
Turkey send endorsements to the isl
and. To this the Powers have also re-
piled, endeavoring to dissuade the Porte
from such step.
This proposal on the part of the Turk
ish government is held to indicate that
the Sultan does not intend to yield in re
gard to frontier question.

Sagadahoc county does not think there
was foulsplay connected with the recent
death of 16-year-old Mrs. Mabel Davis
of Bowdoinham, who was found June
II, shot dead in Mrs. Williams's house,
where she and her husband were en-
ployed. He fayors the suicide theory and
did not think it necessary to hold an
inquest. Many people are still of differ
ent belief and County Attorney Rogers
has been approached as to the advisabili-
ty of exhuming the remains and having
an investigation and they still talk OF
raising fund for that purpose. Davis,
the husband, is still employed by Mrs
Williams.
