THE OPEN DOOR POLICY
CAUSTICALLY CRITICISED IN
THE COMMONS \
Balfour Defends the Governments
Policy as the Very Best Under
All the Circumstances

LONDON, April 29.-The Liberal leader
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. arraigned
the weak policy of the Marquis of Sails
bury in the far east in the house Of COM
mons today pointing out the collapse Of
his "open door" policy through Germany
obtaining preferential privileges on the
shang Tung peninsula. while Great
Britain, he added, had made an undlgnified
retreat in the Talien Wan affair. Germany
and Russia. the speaker contended, had
both scored at the expense of Great
Britain. The Liberal leader was listened
to by full house and great interest is at
tached to the debate in view of the intense
dissatisfaction felt at the government S
policy among its own followers and by the
Conservative newspapers.
In reply to Sir William Vernon Harcourt.
MI Balfour, first lord of the treasury, gov
ernment leader in the house and acting
Foreign secretary, denied that there had
been violation of the treaty of Tien Tsin.
He claimed that throughout the length
and breadth of China Britishers had equal
rights with other nations. England, he
declared, took Wei Hal Wei for military,
and diplomatic reasons and quite without
reference to considerations of trade and
commerce. He laid stress upon the dis
tinction between the spheres of interest
and Of influence.
Trade and commercial interests IN the
province of Shan Tung were not the con-
siderations, Mr.. Balfour continued. which
controlled the government in taking Wei
Hal Wei, nor was the question of the per-
manent occupation of Kao Chau by Ger
many determining factor. Hence ho
failed to see any objection to conciliating
German opinion. He believed Wei Hal

and strategically in times of war"

If the small, unseaworthy torpedo boats

Tho public Indignation at being trified

to lombard New York.
This same deception and dilatoriness
have been discovered In the fitting out
of other vessels of war at the navy yards,
due partly to scandalous deficiency Of
equipment and supplies at the royal
arsenals.
The spaniards are eternally angry with
their government. If the navy fails to
come up to their extravagant expectations
or meets with serious reverses, there will
be Irresistible.

The Spanish Consul called on the ad-
miral little later in the day to say fare

These two circumstances. coupled with
the fact that the naval paymasters were
paying off the men, are taken to mean
that the fleet will sail within few hours
Provisions are becoming very scarce in
consequence of the large purchases for the
fleet. Even eggs are not to be had for less
than two pence a piece.
Country people hurry to town every
morning with sweet potatoes and other
vegetables which they sell in market at
high prices, in consequence of the extra.
ordinary demand.
No news Of declaration Of war by
either the United States or Spain has
reached the public yet. although It is ex-
pected daily.
The common belief Is that the Spainiards
will gain victories at the outset, but that
eventually America, with her riches. will
win the day.

AUTUMN FIREpLACES.
when the Weather Becomes
Chilly and Damp.

The breezes and dampness of fall
suggest the necessity for some arti-
fetal heat long before it is desirable
to light the winters stoves or heater.
The decaSing debris Of the summers
vegetation. which has not yet been
purified by the frost, together with
the dampness of the morning and
evening at this season, produce con-
ditions which are a menace to the
health. A slight fire is necessary to
dry out the house as well as to purify
the air and create a current of fresh
air.
No heat ia so agreeable or so valu-
able for this purpose as the heat of an
open fireplace. A few logs of wood,
with handful of driftwood by the sea-
side, or a handful of fragrant pine
cones or of balsam boughs, lighted on
the hearth, will do more than any
medicine to ward away the malarial
dangers that lurk in the air. The ad-
vantage OF the open fire is twofold.
1t ventilates as well as heats the
house. 1t Is dangerous to shut up the
malarious air of fall in the house in
order to shut out the dampness and
chill of the morning and evening.
Ventilation is more necessary in the
fall than at any other season of the
year. because the air Of the house is
more easily vitiated. Test the matter
by shutting up room and then going
off fer a brisk walk in the country.
Use all your senses, and note the foul
odor of the shut-up room and the OPP
pressive feeling one experiences after
coming into the atmosphere from the
fresh outdoor air. 1t recalls Thoreau's
trenchant remark that the atmos-
phere of dwelling-houses often re-
minded him of slaughter houses.
Where there is a low fire burning
morning and evening on the hearth,
with the window and some doors Of
the house open, the atmosphere never
gets into this condition. If one be-
comes accustomed to the gradual
change In the outer air by admitting
II daily It will not be necessary nor is
It wholesome thing to light the per-
manent winter fires early. - N. Y.
