TARDY TEsTIMoNIALs.-Iti is probable tina,
the adverse feelings of Continental Europ,
towards the United States were partly dis
torted during the first weeks of the war by
American correspondents abroad, who gath

The trend of popular opinion in Europe car

papers, for there is not freedom of the press
there, and after all, the wishes of the mere
people are not consulted in the shaping and
expression of Europe's international ideas.
Assuming that many of those auguries OF
foreign hostility towards us were exagger
ated, it IS remarkable that the press Of
Europe took no pains to set us right unit
our army and navy had demonstrated that
Spain would be thrashed thoroughly and
promptly. When that fact became evident
the voices of France, Germany and Russia
were promptly lifted up in sort of hymn o.
praise for the United States. The foreign
press began to deprecate the false impress

the Prussion and the Slav were antagonistit
to the Yankee. Within the past week tn.
leading newspapers OF Paris, Berlin and st
Petersburg have been vying for the biggest
bouquets to lay at Unc'e Sans feet.

WONDERFUL SPEED.-The speed attained
by the Philadelphia Atlantic City flyer last
season attracted the attention of rail- oad
engineers throughout the United States and
England. Many of the technical writers in
the latter country discredts the speed re-
ports Of this train, and attribute them to the
ignorance of newspaper reporters. These
English "experts" will now haye occasion
TO still further exercise their ingenuity to
discover an excuse for doubling the new
records that this train is making.
From the Railroad Gazette it is learned
that the initial run this season was at an
average speed Of 70 SO miles an hour. Last
season it was 1926. The distance of So
miles on the first run this year was made in
As minutes and II seconds. The train ar.
rived in Atlantic City minutes 43 seconds
ahead of time. The greatest speed between
any two points was reached at nearly the
end Of the trip, when a mile was run in Al
seconds
After the second mile post was passed"
says the Gazette, "the speed exceeded sixty
miles an hour until the steam was shut of
on the meadows in order to make the stop
at Atlantic City. If we eliminate from the
performance the first three miles out OF Cam
den, which are necessarily slow, owing TO
the railroad crossing at the junction with
the West Jersey Railroad, and the last ~
miles entering Atlantic City, where the en-
CINE Is shut off and drifting and with the air
brakes applied part OF the way, the remain,
der OF the distance. 80 miles, was run in 81
minutes and 80 seconds. This shows an av.
erage speed of 80 miles an hour for that
including engine, tender, four passenger
coaches and one Pullman pallor car, 1856 I
