The Victoria Times does not find itself
In hearty accord with the general British
and Canadian sympathy for the United
States in this crisis. 1t says:
Real British feeling towards the United
States IL admirably expressed by the Lon
don Times In its article upon the impend-
ing conflict. Few experts doub. that dis
aster awaits the American naval forces.
and contemplation Of the probable fate of
the white fleet tinges the Thunderers re-
marks with something OF sadness. Spain
may smash the Americans at sea, ruin
several of the coast cities and do enormous
damage before the Americans can retail
ate. then may come the Intervention Of the
powers and Spain thus he left the victor.
The prospects are, for the commencement
Of the conflict. fun of gloom for the
friends Of the republic"
The Times ignorance az to the quality
and dimensions Of the American navy Is
inyincibe. IL has once or twice before
demonstrated that IL is both jealous and
dense by its remarks about the armament,
hghting power guns and sailors OF the
United States naval forces. For nation
with certain doom staring 1t In the face
this country Is entering upon the Spanish
conflict with considerable cheerfulness

AIDS ARMOUR INSTITUTE.
Founder of the Beneficence Increases
Its Endowment by 100000.

Chicago, June Phillip D. Armour
has given $500, 900 to the institute which
bears his name. This means that 400
more boys and girls and men and wo-
men have received educational advan-
tages at the institution Mr.. Armour en-
dowed several years ago.
The immediate cause of the gift is
that the institution for three years has
been running behind financially. When
Armour institute was founded accom-
mOdatiOnS were planned for 700 stu
dents, but so constant has been the re-
quest for the privileges of this school
of technology that for several seasons
dents. This, of course, greatly in
creased the expenses of the institution,
and when Mr.. Armour learned that a
deficiency yearly was going on he in
sisted that the expenses should not be
curtailed, but that he would meet them
with an additional endowment.
When the great financier concluded
to erect an educational institution
which should bare his name he gave
$1,000,O00 for that purpose. With the
additional gift and tuition fees which
amount to $25, 900, the institute hereaf-
ter will have an income of 500, 900, and
it is expected by DR.. Frank w. Gun
saulus, the president of the institute,
that the facilities for knowledge will be
new endowment will be used to enlarge
the faculty. 1t is not expected that the
institute building will be changed for
the apartment buildings on either side
of the institute some time ago were put
into use as lecture rooms and the big
building known as the Armour mission
is crowded now week days as we'll as
Sundays with the boys and girls
anxious to gain knowledge from
Armour institute.
