FRIENDLY TO
 THIS COUNTRY General Tone of the Com ments of the Eng
 fish Press.
The Times Marvels That MT. Mckinley Still Hopes
 for Peace.
Hope Expressed by the Morning Post That All Europe Will Not Be
 Involved.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, April 19.-The Times says editorially this morning: Delay on the American side can now do no good. It Is better that what the resident has to do should be done quickly. It is sur prising news from our American cor respondent that President Mckinley alone in Washington, with the possible exception of Archbishop Ireland, still believes in the possibility of peace. A peaceful solution would doubtless be possible if both Governments were sin cerely desirous to avoid war t is quite conceivable that in the long run both will have reason to regret the de- cision at which both have arrived. We regret the outcome on behalf of both peoples
 The editorial concludes by noting that Americas change of attitude toward England and her appreciation of British sympathy are exemplified in Senator Lodges proposal to pay the Boring Sea award"
 The Daily News says editorially: "In full sympathy with America, we can not help thinking that the resolutions of the House were wiser than those of the Senate. The jingoes have won the day, but it is for no empty punctilio that the United States is contending."
 The Standard says: We are per- suaded that 1t will be the general yer dict of all impartial judges that in per- emptorily calling upon Spain to de- clare it's purpose at once the American Government Is departing wrongly and unwisely from principles hitherto re- spected In relations between civilized nations. Unhappily this is not for the first time.
 "A certain deliberat contempt for amenities of intercourse is apparent at Washington. Brusquer les choes might be supposed to be the fundamental maxim of the State Department. Spain should be allowed decent time to reply America ought not to forget the share her own people have had in stimulat- ing and maintaining the rebellion in Cuba"
 The Daily Chronicle says: Our neu- trality should be of the most benevo- lent description toward America. We ought to proclaim and regard it as a barbarous and unfriendly act, liable to instant reprisals, if either Spanish or American goods are seized on British ship or a British cargo Is seized on board American or Spanish vessels. Great Britain ought also to declare her intention to prevent privateering on the part of any state"
 The Morning Post says: "The differ enceS between the two Governments re- duces itself to fighting over the sov- ereignty in Cuba. This is rather a fine point to be made the occasion for war. Peace is now to be interrupted for the first time between the great civilized nations of Christendom since 1871. It s to be hoped that it will not be pre- Jude to a new period of wars such as closed In 1S15."
 The Morning Post believes that both Ay- letters of marque and it agrees with Lord Charles Beresford, rear admiral, that England's most simple and most honorable plan would be formally to denounce the declaration of Paris, which we ought never to have signed" /"

IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL.
Brunton, Stanford's Sprinter, Beats the Charge of Having Been
 paid

Stanford athletics have been considera- bly, torn up over charges of professional ism brought against John Brunton, the seriousness of which endangered the chances of the crack sprinter being al- lowed to participate in the field day meet next Saturday. The exclusion of Brunton from entering the events would have ma terially lessened Stanford's chances of coming off victor at the meet, so when a faculty investigation which lasted a week exonerated Brunton from all the charges there was universal rejoicing, but the eX- ultation was expressed in whispers, lest tempt to bar the sprinter from compet- ing in the events.
 Brunton was called home by the illness of his father the first of the month and when upon his return he presented him. self at the registrars office to enroll as a have to answer charges preferred against him before he could register. He ap- peared before a faculty committee and found that the specific charge was that he had been pau money to return to school in order that he might be a con- Several rather stormy meetings of the committee were held, and Brunton proved that the accusation was unfounded.
 While the name Of the part. who brought the charges is not definitely known, one of the professors prominently pected, and the feeling against him among the students Is very bitter. Brun- ton is the captain of the track athletic team and one of the star athletes of the university. His election as captain and his ability In athletics have caused con- siderable jealousy, and spite work Is be- lieved to be at ,-ie bottom of the attempt to cut short his career at the institution.

SatSuma, the Burns handicap winner, came out at Ingleside yesterday for the first time since his big victory and rolled up another small bundle of coin for Dr. Powell. The chestnut horse won a most peculiarly run race. It was the mile event for four-year-olds and upward, and Sat suma opened an s to favorite. There was no demand for him at all, the slick ones getting aboard Corrigans Joe Ull- man, sending him to the post a to fa- vorite, while the odds against pr. Row els horse heightened out to to l. Cash Sloan managed to get away from the post poorly with Ullman and was never in it. Newsgatherer was allowed to make a snails pace to the stretch, where Shields leisurely took the lead with Sat suma and won easily from Franks horse in the slow time of 1:42A. Pop" Weaver on Cabrillo rode his horse to excellent advantage, finishing a bang up third at odds of 100 to l. In the final race of the day Rosormonde defeated a bunch of selling platers at a mile, which was coY- cred in 1:42 flat.

WILL KNOCK OUT
 SPANISH PRIVATEERS,
evening,

NEW YORK, April 19.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Spain's privateering plans will be knocked into a cooked hat if the efforts of the admin istration are of avail These efforts will be directed toward securing from the maritime powers of the world whose ships carry American goods an an- nouncement that their flags protect the cargoes of the vessel over which they fly.
 Such an announcement would be in line with the declaration of Paris of 1856, to which they are parties, that "the neutral flag covers the enemies goods with the exception of contraband of war;" and that neutral goods with exception of contraband of war are not liable to capture under the enemies flags"
 Simultaneously with this announce ment it is expected by the officials that the maritime powers will bring pres sure to bear upon Spain which will cause her to observe their declaration. The determination of the administra- tion to approach the powers on the question has a precedent which was established by Secretary Seward inn mediately after the outbreak of the re- bellion in 1861. At that time MT. Seward telegraphed an identical instruction to the Ministers of Russia, Austria, Bel gium, Italy and Denmark, informing them that the President of the United States was disposed to enter into ne- gotiations for the accession of this Government to the declaration of Paris. On account of the existence of war be- tween the North and South, the powers of Europe failed to enter into the nego- tiations suggested by this Government.
