CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH,
Between the Lines 1t Means Much to { h
United states.

/ London-EnglanG is our friend. On
/ Saturday last Mr. Chamberlain ex-
/ pressed himself as follows:
/ "All the powerful States of Europe
have made alliances, and as long as we
1 keep outside of these alliances we will
be enyied by all. suspected by all, and
as long as we have interests which at
one time or another conflict with the
interests of all, we are liable to be CON
froEted at any moment with a com
bination of the great powers, so pow
erful that not even the most hothead-
ed politician is not able to contem-
plate it without a certain sense of
uueasiness.
1T is impossible to oyerrate the
gravity of the issue 1t is not a ques-
ton of a single port in China, not a
question of single province. 1t is
question of the whole fate of the Chin
ese Empire, and our interests in China
are so great. our proportion of its trade
so enormous. that ! feel no more vital
question has ever been presented for
the decision of a government and the
decision of nation
"One thing appears to me certain II
the policy of isolation, which has hith-
erto been the policy of this country,
is maintained in the future. then the
fate of China may he, and probably
will be, hereafter decided without ref
erence to our wishes and in defiance OF
our interests. IT, on the other hand,
We are determined to enforce the poll
cy of the open door, then we must
not allow the jingoes to orive us into a
quarrel with all the world and must
not reject the idea of an alliance with
those powers whose interests most
nearly approximate our own"
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-05-19

Key West-The transport steamer
Gussie has returned here and from
here to Tampa, and the expedition has
been indefinitely postponed if not en-
tirely abandoned. II has resulted. so
far as the purposes of the expedition
are concerned in complete failure.
None of the arms, ammunition and
supplies destined to equip the Cuban
army were landed.
That the failure was unattended bv
any loss of life on our part seems due
more to good luck than to good iudg-
ment. When the war is over some
comic opera librcttiSts can find inspira-
tion in the adventures of the Gussie,
whose movements from the time she
left Key West until she returned were
as frivolous and fiighty as her name.
