WASHINGTON, d. G.. March Sin view
of the possiDiiityOt war between the United
Sta.c4 and Spain, there has been a great
deal Of speculation in Washington as to the
attitude likely to be assumed by other Eu-
ropeAn powers, and especially by Great
Britain. There has been no idea that Great
Britain would be actively drawn into
sucn a war in any way, but it is now
generally believed that the United
states would have her moral support and
sympathy. News of the Maine disaster was
received in Great Britain with almost as
much horror as in the United States II was
not noted at the time that the first express
81 Il Of sympathy received at the state de-
partment was from Sir Julian Pauncefote.
the British ambassador, who. without wait
ing 10 learn whether the Spanish govern
ment was in any way involved, called in
person at the state department. This
was followed 10y the message from
the Queen. messages from the Prince
OF Wales and from many high
officials and officers Of the army ana
navy. An American naval officer of high
rama, who has just returned from cruise
on which he associated a great deal with
EugIish persons and with officers of the
British army and navy, referring to the
warm feeling that the English have for
the United States in this crisis, said

this country and in England no more
striking thought makes itself felt than
the good fellowship evinced by the average
intelligent Englishman for America and
most things American. Especially is this
the ease in times of possible public danger
for the institutions and prosperity of Eng
gland. At such time the feeling seems
widespread that America is but another sec
tlon OF the mother country, to be counted
on for mutual defence in the same manner
as a colony of larger growth. -

The Louisville Courier-J Journal

simultaneously both France and the
United States are gravely considering
the advisability of creating cabinet
portfolios in the special interest of
commerce. But the reasons impelling
the two Governments to recognize the
demands of commerce are wholly diff
ferent, notes the Atlanta Constitution.
In France there has been much I'M
easiness for some time in the public
mind over the gradual falling off in
foreign exports. Germany, Great
Britain and the United States have
almost completely destroyed the once
MAGNIFICENT foreign trade of France,
and the idea of creating a commercial
bureau at this time with Cabinet
representation is to encourage com
mercial activity on the part of the
French people and to coax back some
of the trade which the republic has
lost. On the other hand, the causes
operating in favor of the creation OF a
bureou of commerce in the United
States spring from the growing magnl-
tude and importance of our foreign
trade relations. Under the federal
system there are already various Gov
ernmental departments devoted to the
interests of commerce, but i'll order to
meet the increasing demands of trade
it is claimed that these departments
should be united into one comprehen-
sive bureau. with representation IN
the Cabinet, To effectuate this idea
there are now five separate measures
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee of the National House OF
Representatives; but the latest in
formation received from Washington
authorizes the belief that the Inter
state Commerce Committee will re-
commend the creation of a bureau
with a Commissioner at its head
instead of o Cabinet officer. That
France and the United States should
both be considering at the same time
the advisability of creating CONNER
cial bureaus, even though for differ
ent reasons, is quite singular coinci-
dence.

prove the stand taken by the president.
Nayis, PcttiGrew and Morgan are outspoken
and Congressman Grosvenor is OF the same
opinion. Cullum believes Spain is seeking
Il quarrel, and neither president nor people
will sIbmit to Insult, 1t is safe to say that
nothing since the explosion Of the Maine
has thrown Washington into such fever Of
excitement AS the presidents pronunciu
mentO. 1t has settled the fact in
the public mind that the crisis is approach
ing. The very use by the president OF the
word "rri4i-" indicates that the serious con
dition is fully appreciated in the mind of the
executive. Nothing less than realization
of the attitude oi Spain toward the United
States and the necessity for a bold and un-
qualified declaration on our part would have
induced him to make public such AN EN-
phatic defiance. One important phase of the
president : statement should not be over
looked This is the unusual refusal Of this
government to accede to Il demand for re-
call Of one of its agents abroad. Under or
dinarv circumstances a mere nOtiii' .tlOn

sufficient to secure Il transfer of the oblec-

sued. 1t made Russia recall CatacaHy,lt sent

WASHINGTON. u. c., March S-Congress
being willing, President Mckinley will buy
the men-of-war which have been offered to
this government. There Is no intention on
the part of the administration to let any
more ships slip into Spanish hands. There
is reason to believe that the authorities have
practically decided to buy two battleships,
one protected cruiser one torpedo gunboat.
and four torpedo boat destroyers which have
been placed at their disposal, and a formal
agreement will in all probability be
made when the president receives as
surances that Congress will ratify his deci-
sion 1t is agreed that it is to the interest of
this government to place options on all
ships which are being offered for sale in
Great Britain. The terms under which the
battleships. cruisers and torpedo boats have
been offered contemplate their delivery to
this government armed, equipped and ready
for sea. All that this government will have
to do will be to place the necessary officers
and men aboard. The builders have gone
so far as to say that if the United States de-
sires they will place a navigating crew
aboard and deliver them in perfect condition
at New York.

From Sydney comes a curious story
of the wreck of the brig MinorG and
the saving of the captains life, though
he was the only man on the vessel
who couldn't swim a stroke. The
other five made q gallant struggle for
life, but they went down exhausted,
while he clung to plank for twenty
four hours and was picked up in an
exhausted condition. His case fur
nishes no argument against the value
of knowedge of swimming; it simply
serves to show the irony of fate, which
often dooms to death the man who is
the best equipped for saving his life.
