OPPOSED TO AN ALLIANCE.
Saturday Review Says England and United

Saturday Review Says England and United
States will Be Rivals
LONDON, Aug. 20.-The Saturday
Review in an article on Europe and
Americans, sneering at the proposed
Apglo-American alliance, frankly de-
clares that it amounts to little or
nothing.
"We have" the Review says, "accept-
ed it almost as an axiom of sound
policy that friendly relations with the
United States is the only object worth
aiming at in the western hemisphere.
A few music hall ditties and afterdinDer
speeches would convince us that we
should forthwith ignore all American
concerned as contemplate strife OF
parties"
The Review goes on to say there is
nothing in all that. "Our future in
the west never received so severe
blow as that dealt it by Lord Sails.
bury's recognition of the right of North
American interference in South Amer
ican concerns"
The Review. continuing, says that
the completion of the Nicaraguan
canal by the United States is certain
ty, and expresses the belief that it will
deal British commerse perhaps the
greatest blow it has ever sustained.
The paper supposes the canal to be in.
evita BILE, but contends that Great
Britain in allowing it should stand out
for remuneration on account of waiv-
ing her Bulwer- Clayton treaty rights.
Enemies, possibly" concludes the
Review, "rivals certainly, we must be
with the United States in the years to
| come"
There is no doubt that the Saturday
Review, though not voicing popular
sentiment. represents the feeling of
certain Britishers in the upper classes
and officialdom.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. 20.-It has
leaked out here that twice within the
last few months the officers of the First
Washington volunteers have wired
Governor Rogers asking the recall of
Colonel Wholley. When talked to
some time ago regarding Wholley. the

with the matter. as it was entirely in
the hands of the war department.: that
while he made the appointment of
Wholley as colonel of tie regiment, the
department only could recall or remove
MIN from his command.
Notwithstanding this fact, it is
known that the officers hold Governor
Rogers responsible On the grounds
shat he should have preferred and
fathered their request to the war de-
partmenJ.

NEW YORK, Aug. 49, A dispatch

find that even American and English
newspaper men delegated here to give
accounts of the proceedings are
gradually infected with a spirit of
partisanship. Some of the CORES
pondence l am allowed to read before
it is sent. 1t does not give real idea
of the strength of the prosecution be-
cause of an unconscious tendency o.
the writer's to be little certain argu-
ments of facts brought against Drey-
fus.
81 have been observing from the be-
ginning the attitude of the judges and
public, and also have been gathering
opinions of the best qualified men of
both parties. You may believe me,
acquitsal is far from being as certain
as seems to be commo only thought in
the United States, judging from the
tone of the editorials in the American
newspapers we are getting here. You
must understand that everybody's
mind in France is fully made up-the
opinion is hard set and impermeable
to any argument whatsoever.
IF Roget speaks, whatever may be
the strength of what he says, the
Dreyfusards, exclaim He lies, the
scoundrelp while the anti Dreyfusards
see proof of the accused's guilt in
every charge he makes, however i'm
probable it may be. Likewise, when
Bertullus argues that Dreyfus cannot
be guilty, all of his wonderful logical
deduction is absolutely without effect
as to changing any ones conviction.
One side cries How admira BILE the |
other What rot
"What deceit; and neither one SIDE
nor the other takes pains to listen |
and think. If the judges are of the
same mind as have observed general
ly in the audience, each has decided
consciously or unconciously what his
vote will be and the verdict is already
settled.
''Now if we may infer anything from
the spirit exhibited by tie com bative
character of the questions asked the
witnesses by the judges. it to be feared
that the result of the new trial will
not be what is expected generally in
foreign countries.
