ENGLISH VIEWS

On tho War With spain-The Plea For
"a rs Peace. )
s LONDON, June 1o.-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon commenting upon
the American suggestion that the Lib
erals are hostile to the proposed Anglo
American understanding, says: 1.-THE
! Liberal party desires nothing more than
TO draw closer the bonds with the United
States. II its leaders draw as1ent!on
to pointe needing careful handling. It is
because, Judging from the present con-,
duct > Of foreign affairs, they have
grounds for fearing that the best policy
may be wrecked by lack OF wisdom and
perseverance. II we plead for care and
caution in dealing with the United
States, It Is because we are anxious to
save that cause from the flckleness Of
the present government"
The st, James Gazette this afternoon
publishes long editorial pointing out
the hppelessness Of any further Spanish
resistance and suggests the Americans
seek @ settlement OF the Cuban question
In Spain. It Gays: There Is no need OF
an invasion, but the mere presence Of
strong armament, which the Spanish
navy could not drive of, on the coast
would produce q tremendous effect md

many years OF investigation en- the part OF its
founder Charles Pratt. OF Brooklyn. Its OBJ
ject Is to promote manual and Industrial edu-
cation, as well cultivation in literature sci
cnce and art: 10 incuicate habits of industry
and thrift. and to fortcr all that ynakcs for
right living and good cti2 .nship.
The keynote OF the institute work is the de-
ve.opmcnt OF industrial power in every student
and teachers; not the acquisition OF facts but
the growth of mind and ,ody into d harmoni-
Gus whole. Accordingly IL seeks to provide faci-
ties by which persons wishing to engage in
educational. artistic. scientific. domestic, COM
merciai mechanical or allied pursuits may lay
the foundation of a thorough knowledge theo
retlcal and practical. or may perfect themselves
in those occupa ions in which they are already
engaged. The seven departments work along
different lines, hut all through the work runs
this common purpose: TO train men and women
in the application OF such knowledge shah
give them more complete mastery of life.
This training takes various forms. There rs
