BRITISH NEWSPAPERS NOT OF ONE MIND
OVER Mr.. CHAMBERLAINS UTTERANCES
London. Dec. lit has been long since a public
speech has been delivered that has excited so
much comment as Mr. Chamberlain's yesterday.
Every provincial paper. important or unimpor-
tant. has leading editorial this morning dis
cussing the Colonial Secretrry's deliverance.
The Liberal and Radical papers naturally
little pleased. They think that England ought to
continue the policy of Withholding herself from
entangling alliances, and they attack Mr.. Cham
berlan holly for the irritating tone he adopted
toward France. They remind the public that
this is only a repetition Of the splash" ne made
In his speech of May Is last year. when, in the
same way. he incensed Russia. one journal
ironically asks whether the Foreign Secretary
still exists or whether the Foreign Office has
been merged into the Colonial Office
On the other hand most Of the Conservative
and Moderate Liberal organs comment upon
the speech with great approval. alleging that
there never a time when such under
standing was more essential between nations
who are natural allies for peace and civilization
THE Daily Mail" saws:
Once more Mr.. Chamberlain has acted as in
terpreter for the nation The new alliance Of
perhaps Japan thrown in. and Austria and italy
in the background, is something to make those
foul-mouthed Parisians s1iver. If they cannot
cease their insults. their colonies will be taken
from them and given to Germany and Italy.
England has no Quarrel with the present French
government, but how long Will it stand against
the Vaccinations OF DR.. Leyds and the General
Staff, who are deliberately seeking to make an
Anglo French war?
The Times" which rejoices in the "disap
pearance Of all former MISUNDERSTANDING be-
tween Great Britain and America" says:
We have no objection urge against Mr..
Chamberlain's real meaning. At the same time
the proposition stated by him may lead to a
possible misrepresentation. America, like our
selves, is able, by virtue of her geographical
position. to keep free not only from entangllng
alliances but from embarrassing neighbors.
Germany has powerful neighbors all around.
neighbOrs with whom she has been in conflict
and may be again. This alone differentiates the
pOiemical situation of the two countries. and
would render anything resembling an alliance
for general purposes exceedingly difficult and
possibly prejudicla TO the interests Of the Brit
ish Empire.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY EXPRESSED.

FRIENDLY DEMONSTRATIONS AT THE
THANKSGIVING DAY DINNER IN LONDON.
London. Nov. 30.-The annual Thanksgiving
banquet Of the American Society in London
attended by 275 guests, and marked by
enthusiastic demonstrations Of friendship for
England in the against the Beers. speech
by Ambassador Choate along that line, and the
presence Of the uniformed nurses and doctors
of the American hospital ship Maine were the
features OF the occasion. Mr. Oh )ate, in
Spouse to a toast to his own health, said there
could not be better prelude to what he had TO
say than a remark that had been made to him
Let England and America clasp hands across
the sea, and the peace OF the world is absolutely
secure" He referred sympathetically 10 the
losses sustained by British families through the
war, and went on to say:
Fortunately Engshmen have not far to look
for living proofs of this human sympathy. Neu
trail as America must be. her women could not
be neutral. To neutraliZe them would be TO
spoil them Those American women in London
who have fitted up hospital ship have done
deed that will live for all time as a blessing 10
our common humanity t- a-
After declaring that the action Of the United
States in endeavoring TO look after British In
terests in the Transvaal was merely an endeavor
TO reciprocate kindness exhibited during the war
with Spain, Mr.. Choate said:
Unfortunately the local authorities at Pre-
toria seemed TO think that this would not be
quite the proper thing. yet can but hope that
the prohibition Will ultimately be removed, so
that we may be permitted TO act in this errand
OF mere humanity.
Dealing with the commercial prosperity Of the
United States and the necessity for mercantile
marine, Mr.. Choate remarked:
Carving trade is the white mans burden,
and we must do our full share. The supreme in
terest of the United States is TO preserve the
peace OF the world. | still believe that ma
jority of the American people continue to up
hold Washington's maxim about no entangllng
alliances and have no fear of any quarrel be-
tween the three greatest commercial nations.
England. Germany and the United States. our
one aim is TO increase our commerce with the
great kindred nations who for three genera
tions have settled amicably every question,
however great and trying. that has ever arisen
between them. How can we ever have any
DISPUTE again while the great stream OF German
blood continues to flow in our veins, and while
New-York and Chicago stand among the great
est German cities in the world? How can we
fail to believe that we will be able to MAINTAIN
absolute amity with this great nation?
Tracing the progress of the United States to-
ward the Far East. Mr. Choate exclaimed:
There is now only one step further-the open
door; and who shall slam that door In our
face?
The other speakers included Robert P. Porter
J. Walter Earle president Of the society; James
Royle United States Consul at Liverpool; More
ton Frewen, Morgan Richards, and F. c. Van
Duzer.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-No definite
information is obtainable as to the. SUBJ
ject OF discussion during the conference
at the White House after midnight be-
tween the president, Acting Secretary
OF war Meiklejohn and Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin. The latter refuses to refer
to the matter in any manner Mr..
Meiklejohn says the dispatches received
referred exclusively to future military
movements which it would b. impolitic
to make public at this time.
Secretary Hay was party to the Con-
ference, fact not generally known at
the time. It is believed that advices
were received from President Schur-
man of the Philippine commission.
The conference prepared some instruc-
lions to govern the conduct of the off,
GERS in the Philippines in accordance
with the suggestions contained in the
cable advices and these were promptly
cabled to Manila. The fact that the
secretary of state was called into the
conference by the president is taken as
an indication that the subjects discussed
were not purely military in character,
but related in some manner to large
questions Of policy connected with the
Philippines; perhaps relating to some
fresh overtures from the insurgents
The matter is said to- be in such shape
that publication at this time would de-
feat the object in view.

CAUSED SURPRISE.

Csssion to Germany Of SPANS Possessions
in the Pacific Unexpected.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The announce
ment at Madrid in the speech from the
throne to the cortes that Spain had
coded the Caroline islands, Palaos and
the Marianas was received with surprise
here. The cession marks the relinquish-
ment of Spanish possessions in the far
East save the island Of Fernando Pc
and dependencies on the African coast.
The Mariana islands, which go with
the Carolines and Palaos in the cession,
of course do not include Guam, over
which the American flag now flies.
The strategic value of this cession to
the German interests in the Pacific is
evident from the fact that the Marianas
and Palaos and even the Carolines are
in direct line between Hawaii and the
Philippines and will form excellent
points Of supply for Germany.
The American commissioners at Paris
last December vainly sought one of the
Caroline islands on account of its being
in a line with Hawaii and the Philip
pines and valuable as station for the
proposed Pacific cable. Failing in this
the American flag was hoisted over
Wake island, 100 miles east of Guam.

Court Causes Surprise.
New YORK, June 5.--The New Jersey
supreme court has rendered decision,
said to be the first in this country, in
favor of trust. The decision was given
in the suit of the New York Trap Rock
company against Brown & Fleming.
About two years ago there was brisk
competition and rivalry between the
owners Of quarries and trust was
formed. Several quarries were absorbed
and prices were advanced. A part of
the agreement was that only the agent
of the trust could sell the stone and a
penalty of SIS, 600 was prescribed for vio-
lating this clause Of the contract. There
was some dissatisfaction and Brown &,
Fleming accepted an order for large
quantity of stone. The trust demanded
the penalty Of $4,000, but the firm re-
fused to pay the forfeit and decided to op-
pose the trust. The company instituted
suit for the amount of the penalty.
Brown & Fleming filed demurrer, set
ting forth that by the declaration Of the
plaintiff the company admitted it was
trust, that it was an illegal combination
formed for the purpose of destroying
competition and to control the prices of
trap rock. The supreme court has given
decision overruling the demurrer.
The court holds that a contract that
single person shall be employed as the
sole agent of the manufacturers to sell
all their output does not violate any
principle of law and may be enforced.
It was decision of the entire court
and was a surprise to many lawyers.
