with thousands OF Americans slaugh-
tering Filipinos whom they want to free,
while the truth is concealed from the
public by methods worse than Russia s,
as an instance of external aggression,
and with reign of terror in Cleveland,
where tram strike Is conducted with
nitrogly cern bombs, as an example Of
internal convusion, there is raised the
grave question of what will happen when

Therefore to urge Canada to go beyond
the bounds Of reasonable concession
would be good neither for her nor the

In connection with the Alaskan dis
pute the Right Hon. II. II. Asqulth, for
merly secretary OF state for the home
department, in a Canadian paper recent
ly repudiated remarks which he had
made to correspondent here. When
Mr.. Asquith was visited by the CORE
spondent to ask wherein he had been in
accurately reported, Nj AsG'iitll said -"
What l said to you was said in the
course of casual conversation. ! have
said nothing in public about the Alaskan
question and have not given leave for
any utterance on the matter to be pub
lished. Amy interview l always revise
and like to have it in my own words.

when my attention was directed to them

The simultaneous presence III London
of Congressman c. IN Grosvenor and
II. e. Burton and Mr.. II. A. Garfield,
coupled with the announcement that
United States Senator Nj. "a. Hanna will
soon arrive here, is believed to Indicate
the possibility of an important Ohio po-
litical conference here this week. Mr..
II. l.. Chapman. who was the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor Of Ohio at
the election of 1897 and who is just
closing a European tour, tells your corre-
spondent that despite the action of his
friends. he will not be a candidate before
the Ohio Democratic convention IN the
autumn. Mr.. Chapman thinks Mr.. John
K. Mclean Of Cincinnati will be the
nominee, though, he says. it is difficult to
select the winner among the multitude Of
entries. Mrs. Chapman says that. with
the riots in Cleveland and dissatisfaction
regarding the war in the Philippines,
this looks like Democratic year.
Americans Everywhere.
The inrush of Americans is undated,
and they are to be seen everywhere
They are lavish purchasers Of everything
that strikes their fancy. Shopkcepers
say this is the best American season
since the financial panic of 1888 and de-
clare that the new customs regulations
seem not to affect purchases. and the
sign, conspicuous in many shop windows,
''Prices made to meet the American tar
iff," is apparently superth1ous. This is
true as regards art and Gu
rio dealers, who say that Americans no
longer ask the price of an article, but
purchase the most expensive objects they
display.
There was an interesting little event ON
Friday, evidencing the way Americans
are gaining commercial ground in Eng
and, when President Martindalc of the
British Pharmaceutical association gave
, banquet at the Royal Botanic Gardens
club in honor of Mr.. William Warren of
Detroit. Leading members of the pla
profession were present. n |
Martindale, in the course of his speech. |
said this was the first occasion th1i an
American pharmacist had been invited to
| banquet Ivy his British brethren. who !,
low recognized that America had bestow
ID some Of the greatest discover es known /
o the pharmaceutical world. Mr.. Mar
lndale will be remembered as among the I
eaders Of the pharmacists at the Words
air in Chicago.
The return of Plunger Riley Grammar

lief that he will repeat his brilliant sur
esses when he returns.
