A BRITISH VIEW OF AMERICA.
Governor RooseveIts Action in the
Place Cnse Upheld.

London, March 26.-The Windsor Hotel fire
and the execution OF Mrs. Place furnish The
Speaker with materials for dissertation on
American temperament, in which the paper
warmly defends Governor Roosevelt. 1t says:
''Thc execution excited an indignant ciamor,
but why anybody should sympathze with the
woman it is difficult to imagine. We do not hear
any clamor against the keepers Of death-traps and
the victims Of the Windsor Hotel do not arouse
that passion of pity which was bestowed upon
the wild human beast justly punished for her
crime.
Men and women who rave because a murderess
has electric wire attached to her bare leg
cannot see that it is criminal TO build hotel
which, when curtain ignites, burns like tissue
paper. We should be glad if Governor Roosevelt
and few resOiute. hard-headed men OF the same
type forced the municipal administration Of New
York to close hotels which cannot stand a
reasonable test Of security. Then the rcformers
might await the ruin OF their political careers
with equanimiiy''

THE SAMOAN MUDDLE.
A RumOr That Germany Is About to
Abandon Matuafa.


London, March 26-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Morning Post says he
learns that the German authorities have
decided to abandon their support of Ma
taafa as King of the Samoan Islands,
through desire to effect friendly set
tement of the Samoan question. The cor
respondent, however, regards the situa-
tion as critical
The Standards Berlin correspondent
says the assertions made by various n sws-
papers that the Samoan question has
again reached a critical stage are unwar-
ranted, at least SO far as Germany is con-
cerned. The government he adds is firm
in its resolution to protect its intere IS On
the basis of the Berlin treaty, but will do
so in the most friendly manner. Ger
many desires in every way TO convince
Great Britain and the United States of the
justice of her view. Continuing, the cor
respondent says: Perhaps the most sat
isfactOry solution for Germany would be
the partition of the islands, but the ques-
tion is SO complicated that no one is will
ing to tackle it."

THE PRESIDENT IMPROVED.
His Trip to GcorEin Has Done Hin
Immense Good.

Thomasville. Ga. March 26.-President
Mckinley spent Sunday very quietly. He
went to church in the morning. took a
drive in the afternoon, and completed the
arrangements which have been begun for
the departure of the Presidential party for
Washington tomorrow.
Vice President Hobart is not feeling as
well as he anticipated he would after ten
days at this resort but it is probable that
he will return to the Capital with the
President. Senator Hanna will stay here
until the heat becomes too oppressive for
comfort.
Postmaster General Smith spent a part
of the day in conversation with the Presi-
dent. The President has been benefited i'm
mensely by his stay here, and his robust
appearance will surprise those who to ok
farewell of him In Washington and who
then remarked upon his pallor and appa-
rent languor.

DIR. coREY's STRANGE DEED.
Former Wasbingtoninn Kills His
Wife While Dreaming

Tacoma, Wash, March 26.-Dr. C. R.
Corey, well-known druggist, formerly Of
Washington, ID. c.. shot and killed his
wife early this morning under peculiar
circumstances. He says that he dreamed
that burglars were chasing his wife down
the street. The scene of his dream was
in Washington, d. c., his former home,
and he thought the burglars were pur-
suing his wife ast the Botanic Gardens
there. Seeing retolver on the sidewalk
he picked it up and shot at her pursuars
The shots awakened him and he then saw,
to his horror. that he had put two shots
through his wife's head, killing her instant
ly. So far as is known the Coreys had lived
happily together. The police are salts
fed that Corey is telling a truthful story
and have not arrested him. He is nearly
crazed with grief. His friends are watch
ing him to prevent him doing violence TO
himself.

TO RE-ENLIsT VOLUNTEERS.
Those Now in the Philippines Cnn
Remain in the Army.

The War Department has determined to
take advantage Of that provision of the
army reorganization law which authorizes
the enlistment for six months of the volun-
teers now serving in the Philippines. These
troops will be entitled to discharge when
the President proclaims the Peace Treaty
but under the authority mentioned they
may be kept in the Federal service If they
so desire. In recent dispatch General
Otis says that the volunteers did not want
to leave the Philippines while there was
fighting to do. The opportunity OF making
good this desire will be given them. Gen.
eral Otis has 29.500 troops at Manila and
elsewhere in the Philippines. within a
week they will be augmented by 1,500 more
regulars. Six regiments of the regular
service. one of the artillery. and five of in
fantry are under orders to proceed to Ma
niIa. Three of them will sail from San
Francisco by April 20. Arrangements will
be made to send the others as fast as
possible thereafter. These endorsements
number more than 5000 men.

SENATOR MARTIN CONFIDENT.
The Withdrawal of General Lee In
sures His Recollection.

Norfolk, Va. March 26.-United States
Senator Thomas s. Martin. who has been
for two days in conference with political
friends, in an interview today said he was
not mending his political fences. He said
that the declination of Gen. FitZhugh Lee
practically insures his (Martin's) re-elec-
tion. This roseate view is not by any means
shared by all other Democrats. Many OF
them say that his election was as much of
an accident as was Cleveland's first nom
ination, and it is apparent that strong op-
position to his reelection is developing
throughout this section at least.

There is always something pathetic in
