This European jealousy Of America is
IN its origin partly economic or com
mercial partly military and partly the
result of that form of bgotry known as
national prejudice. which is by no
means confined to the uneducated class
es. The continental military nations
nave always feared and hated England
because of the sharp curb on their am
pHionS imposed by the English prepon-
oerance of sea power. Now they see
ahother country less vulnerable than
England about to assume similar pO-
sition and ready to make effective In

Americans have been surprised by
the evidence of the hostility of CONT
mental Europe 10 the stand this coun-
try has taken on the Cuban question.
We have disclamed Il desire to annex
Cuba to the United States; we have no
race hostility TO Spain or to SpaniardS;
we have left to ourselves no motive to
war, and nothing to gain by success.
save to deliver the island from misruIe
and barbarity Yet we are described
throughout the continent as little bet
ter than brigands. 1t would be open
to us to retort, if it were worth while,
that France, which has dismembered
Siam and seized Madagascar; that
Russia. which has oyerrun Asia: that
Germany, which has carved a slice off
China, which cOvetS Samoa. which de-
prived Denmark of SchleSwig- HOlstein
and France of Alsace-Loraine; that
Austria which took from
Turkey its provinces of Bosnia and the
Herzegoyina-that not one of these
countries is in a position to reproach
us with territorial brigandage if the
charge were true. OF course 1t is not
that they are shocked at the thought
that we could contemplate taking pos
session of Cuba. The explanation is
doubtless twOfOld. In the first place
they do not relish the idea Of the Uni
ted States having any part in European
politics. However ready they may be
TO take territory from one another or
from sOyereigns whom they regard as
harbarianS they do not wish America
to dispossess one of them of one of its
colonies, even if it Is not to take that
colony as its own. But there is some
thing much deeper than this. They are
all excessively jealous of Great Britain.
and of its power In all parts of the
world They see that this war has
brought England and the United States
upon terms. not Of alliance. but of SYM
pathy and friendship. which are better
than any paper alliance. Fortunately
their outspoken i'll will can do us no
harm. Not one of them dares and even
all of them combined would hardly
dare. to put their hostility in practice,
so long as England stands ready-as
she seems to do-to be as active in our
behalf as they are against us. So the
friendship Of Great Britain at this time
is of far more consequence to us than
is the yelled hostility Of all Europe.
Let us hope that John Bulls fine atti-
tude toward us may lead us all to
think of something beside our old griev-
ances against him.

BROUGHT BAcK.-Chief of Police
Webster returned here last night with
Frank Leonard, who was arrested at
Aberdeen, Howard county, Md, by Of
ticer Temple on Saturday, charged with
stealing horse and buggy from Mr..
James Patterson, of this city. Leonard
agreed to return to Alexandria without
q requisition, although he at first re-
fused to do so. He said he would &C
company the chief provided he would
not be handcuffed. The chief replied
that he would put no more iron upon
the prisoner than upon himself, and
Leonard agreeing to this the chief
placed one bracelet upon his own wrist
and one upon that of the prisoner. The
Maryland authorities say that the pris.
oner offered to sell the team for S25.
Leonard is Frenchman but claims to
have lived in Washington for many
years. The police thinks that he an
swers to the description of man want
ed for murder by the Chicago authori-
ties. Leonard does not deny having at
tempted to dispose of the team which
he hired in this city, but says ne must
have been drunk at the time. This
morning he was committed to Jail for
court.

A NARROW EsCAPE.-The eight.year-
old daughter of Capt. George Davis, of
the tug beat Templar, fell overheard st
the foot of Prince street yesterday aud
narrowly escaped being drowned. The
unfortunate child's playmates were too
badly frightened to give an alarm, but
ran from the wharf. Mr.. Shirley King
noticed the children running from the
wharf aud concluded that an accident
had happened and hurried to the end
of the dock where he saw the little girl
struggling for her life in the river. She
had gone down between q vessel and a
tugboat which were lying at the wharf,
and Mr.. King, by heroic effort, sue.
ceeded in reaching the child as she was
about to disappear under the water.
The little girl was removed to the
home of her parents on Prince street.
The above is the version of the af-
fair rs given on the streets, but Stella
Robey, one of the little girls who were
with the Davis girl, came to this office
to day with the latter and claimed that
she pulled the drowning child from tbs
water. Her story was corroborated by

saved.

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, April 25.
SENATE.

Almost Immediately after the open
ing prayer the Vice President recog-
nized the clerk of the President, who
presented a message from the Presi-
dent. The message, which was re-
quest that state of war be declared as
existing between the United States and
Spain was laid before the Senate and
read. At the conclusion of the reading
Mr.. Davis, chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, moved that the
message be referred to his committee
and it was so ordered.
Mr.. Allen introduced a resolution,
which was referred to the committee
on foreign relations, THAT State of
war now exists and has since the 18th
day of February, 1898, existed between
the United States of America and the
kingdom of Spain"
Consideration of the naval appropria-
ton bill was then resumed, the pend
ing question being upon the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Butler to regulate
the price of armor.
Mr.. Butler said the Senate had twice
voted 10 favor of paying not to exceed
$500 ton for armor plate. Congress
and the country had been warned that
in case of war the 'armor plate trust"
would exact the uttermost farthing,
and probably find the government un-
prepared. He argued that it had been
demonstrated that the armor could be
made for 1925 ton and expressed the
hope that no opposition would be
raised to proper reduction in the price
of armor in the future. Mr.. Butler
charged that the ships Of this country
were covered with defective armor.
Mr.. Hawley challenged this state
ment. 81 emphatically deny" said he,
THAT there is any such amount of de.
fective srmor on our warships as the
Senator from North Carolina declares
there is. And even if the statement
were true, I lesye to the country to
Judge of the propriety Of f haunting the
defects before Spain"
Mr.. Butler was proceeding to read
some testimony taken before g commit.
tee of the House Of Representatives re-
lating to defe Give plates on various
United States war vessels and to make
sharp comment upon it when Mr.. Hsw-
ley said sharply: - must protest
against this. ! believe the Senator
from North Carolina is out of order in
making these charges here publicly.
If he should reduce them to writing
and transmit them privately to Spain,
pointing out these defective plates he
would be gully of treason"
Mr.. Tillmsn called attention to the
fact that the statements made by AIR,
Butler had been based upon official and
Congressional reports which were easily
accessible to Spain, and he doubted not
that the Spanish government had agents
who could gain access to the document
rooms of the Capitol.

The LIGHT INFANTRY.-The various
rumors which were afloat in this city
last night and to-day to the effect that
the Alexandria Light Infantry had re-
ceived orders to leave the city at this
or that hour were unfounded. Captain
Bryan has been at The armory all day
receiving recruits, and by tonight he
thinks he will have at least twenty-five
additional men. With these the COM
pany viii have its fall complement,
and the members of the organization
assert heir willingness to go wherever
ordered provided the present officers
remain with the company. Captain
Bryan expects to receive orders at any
time 10 hold his company in readiness
for marching orders. The members
have been busy all day arranging their
affairs so as to be ready to leave here
when ordered and the men have been
going 10 and from the armory to ascer-
tain he latest news as to the expected
movement. 1t is the present intention
OF Captain Bryan that when he receives
the order to take his company to Rich
mond he will quietly notify the men
aud not have any bell ringing or other
unnecessary alarm. When the time
comes Captain Bryan is ready to lead
his men and the men are ready to fol-
low him.
