Filpinos. They are specially incensed at

The Liberal cartoonist pictures Mr.. Jo-
seph Chamberlain, secretary Of state for
the colonies, Sloan-like, bestride q gallop-
ing lion and catching up to other patriotic
orators, with the remark: II must hurry
up with my lion. / am little late"
l
colonial secretary has made three speeches
handling the whole field Of Great Britain''
foreign and domestic policies in his custo'
mary ungloved and breezy fashion, which
has brought upon his head storm Of angr,
retorts from continental politicians.
Their organs remarks that no EnglishmaI
speaks nowadays without throwing compli
ments at the United States and one pape
charges Mr. Chamberlain with becoming re
markably bold, "since Great Britain has In
duced America to promise to fight her bat
Ties" to which the Spectator replies:
I'VE trust the American public vii
clearly understand that we are not seeking
hard and fast political alliance. We d.
not desire to go beyond the acknowledg
ment that II we or the United States &c
our backs to the wall the other Anglo
Saxon will be at his side"
See Nothing but Good In America.
The English newspapers are unable to fn
anything but good In the trend OF AFFAIR
in the United States. They even discuss tn
Dingley bill IN a friendly tone, the Stats
; finding in the acquisition Of colonial terri
tory a hope of relaxation of the high tari
In the United States themselves. II con
serves that 1t would be startling anomal
IL the Dingley tariff was maintained In a
its prohibitiveness In the United State
while the new possessions were open to th
trade of the world.
The Statist does not doubt the Unite
States fully recognizes this and adds:
international cordiality has obtaine
such warmth that the foreboding Is ofte
heard from the man-in- -the-street that
may be impossible to maintain 1t withot
cooling AS politician put 1t. antag mist
interests may be developed which may lea
tho Americans to discover that we hav
, always been arrogant, iand-grabbin
Britons and we may remember that We ha,

Yankees. The United States Canadian col
ference is watched with some nervousness
owing to fear that 1t may put the friendshi
to strain"

Persistent rumors have reached the Ru
