Mr. Mckinley did a dignifed and
gracious thing when he liberated the
French line steamer Lafayette, which
had been captured while trying TO run
the blockade, and ordered it TO be es-
corted 10 the mouth OF Havana har-
Dor 10y one Of the vessels Of our feet
The capture Of this steamer has raised
lot Of bad blood in France, which the
courteous action Of the President ought
al once 10 allay.
It appears to be a fact that the La
fayette was proceeding on her voyage
from Havre to Mexico under prear-
ranged permission. When that per-
mission was granted. il was expressly
understood that, although she was to
touch at one or TWO ports Of Spain, she

or Spanish troops, and was only to put
into Havana in case Of coal shortage.
We shall see whether or not the La
fayette complied with the conditions
assigned!
As a matter Of fact there are grave
reasons TO believe that at Corunna.
Spain. she accepted as cabin passen-
gers considerable number Of Spanish
officers destined for Cuba. that she
there loaded more or less contraband

now has finally put into Havana, not
on account Of the condition Of her coal
bunkers. but TO land her Spanish re
endorsements and 10 deliver her con-
uaband cargo.
Without. regard to those conditions,
President Mckinley was perfectly
right in carrying out the promise Of
the Government TO let the Lafayette
pass through. Anything with that
hallowed name would naturally be
passed and saluted. There is respon-
sibility, however. that the French
government takes in the matter, which
is another thing. We have shown our
friendlness in this instance and IL

Foreign Minister Meline not 10 forget

They should remember, also. that the
American people are amazed and pain

The Austro- Hungarian government has
just issued series of DEGREES, directed
nominally against the German manufact-
urers. prohibiting the Importation of the
various forms of saccharine except for
use by apothecaries, druggists and the

act empowering the government to forbid
the Importation of articles public

new duty upon this commodity under the

the virtues of beet sugar and the dangers
resulting from the use of saccharine. The
government, predisposed to listen by fear
of loss of revenue, readily gave ear to
their arguments. Hence the decree, the
practical effect of which will be to force
the poor to buy beet sugar or go without
