DUKE OF DEvoNsH1RE
Sees No Reason to Desist From
Strengthening Forces.

SCeS No RSdSOh TO OeS1SC FROM
Strengthening Forces.
London, Nov. 1O.-The Duke of, Dew
onshire, lord president of the council of
minister's, who was the principal guest
at the mayoral banquet at Eastborune
last evening, said in the course of his
speech in reply to a toast to her majes-
tvs minister's:
There is no reason to desist from the
work of Strengthening our naval forces
and general defenses, since Fashodt is
only an incident in a much larger ques-
ton
This expresses the prevalent feeling
throughout England, and there can be
no doubt that Lord Salisbury's speech
at the Guild hall banquet pacific as it
appears, will not be received with much
enthusiasm by the general public.
Judging from the comments of the
morning papers, more attention is
likely to be paid to his grave warning
of the necessity of upholding the en-
pire by making sacrifices to provide a
strong navy than to his pacific assur-
ances. Even the most friendly journals
explain his reticence as due to the re-
straint imposed by the responsibilities

The Daily Chronicle frankly calls him
"a muddler, who is afraid to take the
public into his confidence" land pro-
tests against his maladroit suggestion
that the entrance of the United States
into the worlds politics will make for
war"
The Standard says: There is a de-
liberate vagueness in Lord Salisbury's
language; a tendency to hint rather
than indicate unpalatable truths

The Daily News also disagrees with
his remarks about America and says:
Nothing that fails to conduce to
peace can conduce to Great Britain's
interest. Probably, however, Lord Sal
isbury only meant that Great Britain
and the United States are not likely to
be found on opposite sides, and there
we cordially agree with him..
The Daily News then proceeds to ask
whether the Philippines are the storm
center which the premier foresees, and
says:
"The omens are certainly not favor
able. The peace conference is in a dead
lock. Emperor William is fastening

Salisbury's Speech So Interpreted
on the Continent.
ANGLO-SAXON ENTENTE
FRENCH PRESS SEE AN ALL
ANCE AGAINST EUROPE.
Berlin National zeibug Says Ger
mans Believe It Was Hope of
American Support That Gave the
Premier Courage to Speak-see
Little Hope of Prolonged Peace.

London, Nov. 11.-Lord Salisbury's
speech at the lord mayors banquet at
the Guild hall-especially his reference
to Americas making a stir through
out Europe. The evening papers yes
terday Thursday having a long time
for reflection, had much less satisfied
tone than the utterances of the morn
ing press in the French capital, while
the whole continent reflect the feeling
that the speech conveys a grave menace
for the future.
La Liberte of Paris says: ut is
question of an Anglo-American agree
ment respecting the Philippines di-
rected against Germany
The Journal Des Debats regards the
speech as IAN invitation to America
to make an alliance against Europe,
but doubts whether Americans will
willingly play the role of train bearers
to English politics"
The London morning papers revert
to the subject and again take occasion
to wish well to Americas colonial mis-
sion.
The Times says editoriall: Lord
Salisbury clearly did not refer to the
late war at ALL He paid the United
States the compliment of holding that
their entry into the worlds politics
was an event of great Importance. His
further remarks obviously meant that
America and England would stand to-
gether in a friendship based upon COM
munity of aims, sentiments and in
terests."
The Daily Mail which deprecates
Emperor Williams visit to Spain as
most 'ill-advised and inopportune,"
says: The first article of our national
policy is a close friendship with the
United States, and it would be better
for Germany to act in harmony with
Great Britain than to try to irritate
America"
The Standard, in it's editorial, alb
solves Lord Salisbury of any intention
to sound a note of warning in abiding
to Americas entry into the worlds
politics and welcomes the cooperation
of the United States with England lin
preventing the vast domains of China,
should they become derelict, from be-
coming the preserve of any single
European state"
The Daily News says: Lord Sails
bury's remarks were unusually OBJ
scure. Perhaps he was a1luding to
Germany's irritation. In any case Ger
folly Of fighting to exclude America
from the Philippine islands if she
wants to display colonial energy in that
direction Germany is too late. America
has been deeply and justly incensed
at Germany's favor toward Spain, and
she certainly will not ask the Kaisers
leave before appropriating the fruits
Of victory"
The ST. James Gazette commenting
upon the Marquis of Salisbury's allu-
sion to the United States in his speech
at the Guild hall banquet last night,
says:
American Imperialism promptly
landed the United States in war with
Spain and it may land her in other
complications in the far east. But even
if her policy is not pacific, it is for the
benefit of humanity at large"

west of here tonight. There were eight
robbers in the gang, all well armed.
Two of them evidently boarded the
blind baggage in this city. The train
was scarcely out of town when these
two climbed over the tender and, pre-
senting revolvers, told Engineer Brace
and his fireman to stop at a lonely spot
near the Pelican river bridge. Arriv-
ing at this place, the train was stopped,
and the engineer and fireman were or
dered to leave the cab. The other men,
bers of the gang rushed from the woods
and boarded the express car. The gang
was regularly organized and went by
numbers.
When the train stopped. the conduc-
tor and brakeman started forward to
find out what the trouble was. but the
bandits fired a number of shots and
warned them to go back. They then
compelled the express messenger to
leave the car. and while three or four
stood guard, the others proceeded To
blow the safes. The local safe was de-
stroyed, and it is thought that they
succeeded in securing considerable
money, but the exact amount cannot
be learned The through safe was
drilled and dynamited. four charges be-
ing used. The jacket was blown off.
but it was impossible to reach the inner
part and get at the cash. They worked
over it nearly two hours, holding the
train for that length of time, but finally
gave up and, Joining their companions
on the outside, started south. The eX-
press car had been somewhat wrecked
by the explosion, but the trainmen
managed to get to Carlisle, where it
was patched up and the train proceeded
on it's westward journey. Conductor
Smith sent trainman back to this
city 20 give the alarm. but nothing has
as yet been heard of him. Several posses

GENERAL MERRITT ELATED.
A Democrat, But Rejoices Over the
Democratic Defeat.

London. Nov. 1O.-Major General
Wesley Merritt, U. S. A, who is now in
this city, in an interview on the result
of the elections in the United States,
is quoted as saying:
Il am very glad the presidents DOL
icy seems to have been endorsed. Al
though am somewhat of a Democrat,
1 think it highly desirable that there
should be a congress that will ratify
and carry into effect the result of the
war and peace treaty"
Referring to the Marquis of Sails
bury's Guild Hall speech, General Mer-
rift said: Most Americans, I believe,
agree, and our English cousins insist,
that we should keep the Philippine
islands
Il don't know whether the govern
ment is cooling towards us, but all the
officials have met here, some of them
being in very high places, seemed en-
thusiastic over the friendship between
the two countries. One thing is GER
tain about the Philippine islands: we
must either take them all or drop them
altogether

Fearful That Someone Will Buy the
Legislature.

Philadelphia, Nov. 10-United States
Senator Quay tonight announced his can
didacy for reelection to his present Office.
He said:
''All of my friends have been aware of
my personal antipathy to another term
in the senate, but those prominent in the
late crusade against the Republican state
and legislative candidates chose to force
the issue. They have made it imperative
that / shall be a candidate fol. reelection.
The gage of battle is accepted. The re-
suit is in the hands of the Republican
members of the incoming legislature a
very large proportion of whom are my
political and personal friends. Through
out the campaign just closed enormous
sums of money were used to defeat Re-
pubIicans legislative candidates. / have
no doubt efforts will be made to tamper
with some of the members-elect, but they
will not be successful. The attempt to
purchase the United States senatorship
two years ago did not succeed, nor will
similar attempt succeed now, bargain
counter methods having been repudiated
by the people of this state
Senator Quay then offered a reward of
$4,000 for information leading to the ar
rest and conviction of any one endeavor-
ing to bride any state senator or repre-
sentative-elect, the money being on de-
post with his bankers.
