Some of the prettiest muslins of the

made with frilled tichus, which fall in

TALKS AT HOME.
Chauncey Depew Tells What He
Heard in Europe.

New York, July 1.-Chauncey M. De-
pew has returned from England. Re-
garding the sentiment toward the Unit
ed States he said that in France feeling
was most bitter against this country
1T was believed that the object of the
United States in beginning the war was
extension of her territory or imperial
extension and the same opinion seemed
to prevail in Germany.
In England there was a complete
reverse of sentiment. Six weeks time
had changed the sentiment of ninety
five years, and all animoSitfeS were
buried by the tide of sympathy and uni
versal approval and feeling of relation
ship, which was binding against the
world"
Speaking further of the sentiment of
France he said: "Dewey's victory had
had a marked beneficial effect in arous-
ing respect for the United States.
There had been a general belief that
our ships were no good and that our
army, while composed of good men was
gathered from the field and had no ex-
per1ence or training. In place of what
was expected it was discovered that our
vessels were of the soundest construc-
ton, ZIP to the most modern type of
Warship, with armament unexcelled and
manned and Ofhcered by skilled Seamen
and tacticians while the army had dis
played all the qualities Of veteran
troops.
Mr.. Depew further said that the rest
of Europe is anxiously watching the
apprehended entrance of the United
States into their circle in the far east.
Their position is one of diStruSt. They
are trying to solve the problem of the
influence upon their interests of that
Anglo-American alliance which they
think either exists or is inevitable
Even if disposed to interfere in our war
they are restrained by the belief that
any movement in that direction would
precipitate an alliance with England.
Their newspapers discuss our unpre
paredness for war, the iinpossibility of
our being a military power until we
have large standing army and uni
versa1 compulsory military service.
The victory of Admiral Dewey at
Manila and the daring and splendid
effort of Lieutenant Hobson at San
tiago have done incalculable service in
convincing continental Europe of our
fighting calibre and arousing enthus-
iasm in England
English statesmen whom he met all
said: keep the Philippines, share with
us China, and open ports in the east"
One said: you must join the con-
cert of European nations. 1t is eXpen-
sive. but You cannot be an eastern power
unless yr- belong to the band. Our
Interests ii always be identical and
the mutual benefits incaIculable"
They rally US gOodnaturedly,' said
Mr.. Depew, ''on our prOtestatiOnS of
pure sentiments in war and say: Yes,
that is the way we always get in, and
then we stay. Christianity and civili-
give the beggars. liberty, law, order
and justice, which they never had be-

that they had been arrested in Ottawa,

that is possible and it is hoped that he
will quickly recover.
After Col. Funston took charge of the
