 The cable letter of the Associated Press from London published by The Age-Herald on Sunday, declared that the stories of general British good will for America, based oe kinship, were "absurd." In other words, there was no general good feeling towards this country. That assertion has absolutely no foundation in fact. It is false and mischievous. During nearly ten years spent in England, Scotland and Ire land it was my duty and my pleasure to acquaint myself as thoroughly as possible with the real sentiment of the great mass of population regarding my own country. The universal sentiment of the ''three king don1s' is that of open and frank friendli- ness.

From Way Back.

Yesterday the Appeal office was the
recipient Of a pleasant call from J. w.
freeman of Saltwater. The gentleman
introduced himself as once having served
as devil in the Nebraska City News
Office when j.. Sterling Morton, was its
first editor. As the editor OF the Appeal
served his reportorial pprenticeship on
that paper and learned to set type there,
the two settled down to talk of old times,
until the typos OF the Appeal began to
call for copy and Mr.. Freeman who has
heard the call before said he guessed it
was time to go, and slid out.
Mr.. Freeman is now cattleman OF
Churchill, and is unloading cattle at the
top price. When he did the devils work
on the News in the tifties it was cur
rently reported that he only had one pair
OF buckskin pants, and once when the
weather wet them until they shrunk on
him like he had been moulded in them,
he was unable to get them off and so
slept in them. When reminded of this
ancient report he admitted the truth of
it then and there.-Carson Appeal.

The Wreck.

The Winnemucca Silver State says
AT 3:l5 O'Clock Thursday morning
passenger train No. >, westbound, ran
into the rear end OF freight extra about
two miles east of town.
The caboose of the freight train was
smashed to pieces. Fortunately none OF
the trainmen were in it at the time or
they would certainly have been killed
The forward trucks of the passenger
engine was knocked out of place, but
the engine in not very badly damaged.
Engineer Kline and his fireman were
badly shaken up and bruised somewhat,
but not seriously injured by any means.
The freight train in charge OF Conduc-
tor Beam left Tule with fifteen inmates
to reach this place before the arrival OF
No. 2. The freight engine became
choked and the train nearly came to a
stop in getting over the hill two miles
east OF here. 1t had just reached the
top when No. 2 crashed into the rear
end. The rear brakeman had been sent
back by the conductor of the freight
train to flag No. 2, but the signal was
evidently not seen, or, ii SO, too late to
avoid the collision.

From a statement made by Chi

pears that during the last four years
the annual average of murders COM
mitted in the United States has ex-
ceeded ten thousand. In this state
ment all cages of homicide are massed
indiscrimina:ely az murders; but
murder in the legal sense implies de-
liberate malice. 1t is shown that of
the cases reported. ninety-three were
killed by irtne persons, two hur lred
and twenty-five in defense Of lie or
property. and forty-six hundred and
thirty-eight were the result Of brawls
or quarrels, while twenty-six hundred
and ffty-iive are set down as of un-
known causes. With all deductions or
explanations. the record Of bloodshed
is a national disgrace, and may well
be called alarming; but the force of
facts is never strengthened by exag-
geration.

Spain to BE Given "a 4s Hours to An
swer-A Messlg Rebuking Congress.
Washington, April 15.-The Wash
ington Posts summary of the situation
to be published in to-morrow's issues,
includes the following statement:
Immediately after the President Is
empowered to use the army and navy,
he will issue an ultimatum to Spain,
giving her twenty four hours-possibly
forty ty-eight-within which to answer
whether she will peaceably withdraw
her troops and flag from Cuba Her
refusal to evacuate the island-which
is, of course, expected-will be the sig
nal for action on the part of this gov
ernment, and that action will be the
vigorous use of our naval and land
forces. The Post makes this statement
upon the highest possible authority,
the course of action indicated having
been decided upon at yesterdays Cab
met meeting.
Should the resolutions reach the
President, accompanied by the amend
ment recognizing the republic of Cuba,
the President will sign them, but in
brief message to Congress he will hold
that the constitutional prerogative
vested in the President to recognize
other governments cannot be taken
away, and that the amendment is
therefore void and imperative.
