I 1t needs no soothsaYer to explain that The

Where We Come In.
y high official of the colonial office
said:
Surely the Americans realize that
their sympathy and interests are with
Great Britain over the Bocr question.
There are large numbers Of American
uitianders, and it is to their benefit as
well as to the BIitishers' that these re
forms should be carried out. The case
of Mr.. John Hays Hammond. the Ameri-
can engineer who was imprisoned in the
Traneyaal, ought to have brought the sit
uation home TO the Americans We fully
understand the underlying sympathy Of
the United States for all republics, but
the protection Of citizens interests,
Whethe American or British. ought to
have nothing to do with the republic prin-
ciple.'
