Russian port, and the object was equal
ly secured by exacting from China and
Russia together a pledge in regard to
Port Arthur, similar to the pledge ex-
acted from them in regard to Corea, be-
fore the evacuation of Port Hamilton,
and this will probably be the upshot.
The semi official statements distinctly
point thereto, notably the specific as
surance early in the week in regard to
the temporary nature of the Russian
tenure of Port Arthur which was ac-
companied by the friendly assurance
that Great Britain is not bound to Japan
by any warlike alliance. In short, there
is every reason to believe that Great
Britain does not intend to recede an
inch from the position which has been
officially taken up by Messrs. Balfour,
Chamberlain and Hicks-Beach, IN the
Marquis of Salisbury's name.
During the course of an interesting
address at Bradford. before the chamber
of commerce of that place, on Thurs
day last, the United States consul, Eras.
tus S. Day, applauded the Marquis oil
Salisbury's doctrine of free trade in
China He said America had every
sympathy with it, and that the people
of Great Britain and the United States
ought to lead in shaping the worlds
thought and action. Continuing, he
said they had the opportunity to achieve
WOuJu lHey uIllc---idSlllIS pSnSlltS ~
themselves and to the world.
Speaking of the tariff, Mr.. Day said
the overwhelming preponderance of SEN
timent in the United States was in ia
vor of the protective theory. The Will
son bill. he added, had sicl1ened the
people of tariff for revenue only the
ory. and it would not be wise for the
manufacturers of Bradford to hope for
the speedy enactment of another Will
son bill. which closed too many mills
in the United States to be retried.''
Mr.. Henry Norman, bitter opponent
Of the government, writes, in the Daily
Chronicle, that it would be unfair to
criticise the Marquis of Salisbury so
long as he maintains the treaty of Tien-
Tsin of 1856. and adds:
TN this demand we are Irresistible.
At last the people of the United States
have learned that we are not the land
grabbers, gdld-seizers or monopoly
hunters which some of the western SEN
ators and Irish politicians represent us.
They have realized that our aims are
theirs. What we want, they want-free
access to the great untouched markets
Of the far east. They desire commerce
untrammelled by the jealousies military
and political, of the continental nations.
That Is precisely what we are ready to
fight for--to secure for ourselves. for
them& Japan. who will fight Russia

When the evidence is sifted, 1t appears
that the Globe Venture Syndicate's de-
scent on the Sus coast of Morocco, an
nounced in dispatches to the Associated
Press on January 81, closely resembles
Dr. Jameson's Transyaal raid. The pre-
tended ignorance of Sir Edward Thornton,
chairman of the syndicate, and formerly
British ambassador at Washington, is
wholly untenable, for it is known that
warnings were received in London at
Christmas to the effect that if the Tour
nadine, the vessel of the expedition, per-
sisted in her intention to land arms and
ammunition on the Sus coast, she would
meet with warm reception from the
troops and ships of the sultan of Morocco.
The Saturday Review protests against
'sQch buccaneerng expeditions, hazard
ing imperial prestige for the benefit of a
band of needy adventurers and unpictur-
esque freebooters," and expresses the hope
that the sultan will press a claim for dam
ages for this fragrant breach of interna-
tiOnal faith, even though the dignity and
pockets Of ex-diplomatists suffer accord
ingly."

80th Birthday.

Boston, Feb 5.-The regular monthly
meeting of the Massachusetts, Club this
afternoon was made the occasion for
the celebration of the S0th birthday of

a reception attended by about 100 mem

obliged to leave before the dinner was
finished Before leaving the hall, how
ever, he made a speech eulOgizing the
character and life of Massachusetts,
Oldest living ex-governor
EX-Gov. Boutwell, responded to the adj
dress of Gov. Wolcott and said in part:
In my first annual report to congress
las secretary of the treasury I recon-
mended what substantially became the
act of July 1870, for the reissue Of
bonds, under which act all bonds issued
since have been passed or issued. In
that act it was provided that the bonds
of the United States should be payable
in coin of the then present weight and
standard. The question whether they
should be paid in gold or silver was not
subject of consideration in 1869 and
1870, when this silver that would have
been put into a silver dollar outvalued
the gold in a gold dollar, and therefore
there was no reason for distinguishing
that they should be paid in silver But
let US go to the country and say that
no matter what is in this bond, we will
pay in gold coin, that it may not be
said of US by future generations, that
in the day of our prosperity we shirked
the performance of an honest duty. Let
us give to our creditors that which most
truly represents what was the under
standing when the bonds were issued.

The hour has arrived to permanently

The British were never before so

about to leave London, is one of the
most striking examples of how young

weeks. The force which will accom-

Many good stories are told of the
alertness which senators display in Sc
curing Well-placed desks, but the ex
perience of Mr.. Vest is especially worth
relating. When, in 1883, the civil serv-
ice law was being discussed, Mr.. Pendle-
ton, an Ohio democrat, and Mr.. Dawes
had presented bills. BY a shrewd bit
Of politics, the republicans abandoned
their support of the Dawes bill and
voted for Mr.. Pendleton's measure, their
votes, together with the votes of the
democrats favorable to the measure,
being sufficient to pass it.
AS the bill was about to be voted on
Mr.. Cockrell moved that its title be
changed so as to read "A bill to retain
republicans in Office AS soon as it pas
sed Mr.. Vest filed claim for Mr.. Pen
dleton's seat. "The author of such a
BILL said he, will never come back to

at the beginning of the next congress he
moved into Mr.. Pendleton's vacant
chair.
