JUSTICE AND COM MON SENSE
Earl Of SPlborne Sees Alliance of
Three Greatest Countries.

London, April 21.-The Earl of Sell
borne, under secretary of state for the
colonies, addressing a Conservative
mass meeting last evening at st. AL
bans, said he thought that if any justi.
:ication of Lord Salsburys policy We're
required it was afforded by the present
relations between the United States and
Great Britain.
AT a trying time" he said, the gov
ernments preserved their salf-control
and waited for cOolness, justice and
common sense to reassert themselves.
Now the dark miserable cloud which
so long hung over the Anglo Saxon poo
pies has drifted off. 1t is only few
days since British and American officers
and men fell on the same field of con-
quest They were not engaged in fra
tricidal strife. but were fighting
shoulder to shoulder, and small though
the incident was, it will be of Importance
in the history of the world.
"All must regret continued Lord
Selborne, the lamcntab.e cause of the
incident. but the only three nations con-
cerned were what We might term the
three countries in nations of he world.''
He remarked that he had no doubt
America and Germany, in this mat
ter. would prove as amenable as Great
britain to the dictates of common sense.

CONJURORS NOT LABORERS
Decision That Chinese Fakirs May
Remain in This Country,

Chicago, April 27.-Chin Ling Foo the
Chinese conjurer, and his troupe were
discharged yesterday from the custody
of the United States authorities by
United States District Judge Kohlsaat.
The Chinaman came to this country un-
der the provisions of Z special act of
congress admitting laborers and others
for the purpose of participating in the
construction and operation Of exhibits
at the Omaha exposition, and providing
that they should leave at the close of the
exposition. Because he did not return to
China, Chin Ling Foo was arrested
while under engagement with the Hop
klns circuit of theaters. An application
for writ Of habeas corpus followed.
Judge kohlsaat holds that the alien
labor law does not apply u performers
in the same sense as to laborers. The
troupe will be permitted to remain in this
country as long as it chooses.

Though Richard Croker devised his
dinner in the interests of harmony,
and advocated saner kind of Democ-
racy there than had prevalence in the
rival entertainment of New York, it
does not follow that, if he had met with
better success, he would have obtained
theposition OF Il national leader. Croker
has never been equal to reaching Demo
cratic leadership even in his own
state, and the quality OF his testi
mony in the investigation and the
manner in which it has been rendered
would .have furnished sufficient rea-
son for this, hal no other been APP
parent. Croker should content him
self with supremacy ON what is his
native heather, as it were. The lift.
ing him into national leadership
would be carrying the joke little too
far, even in these days Of eccentric
