THE Trolley fight not only in Will
nington, between the local companies
there, but as well as in Kent and Sus-
sex counties, remains in an unsettled
condition. The highest legal state
officer does not come out unscathed,
ss the following from the Sunday Star
will show:
Attorney White has been
criticised rather sharply for acting as
the private counsel for corporation.
Mr.. Whites critics should not be too
hard on him. A man who doesn't
know what is proper is not to be held
responsible for an improper act. What
surprises us is that Mr.. White didn't

cites and delegate the functions of bis

ALL Europe especially France, seems
stirred by a speech made Thursday, at
Leicester by Joseph Chamberlain,
Secretary of State for the colonies.
The chief features are contained in the
following references:
He said that ever since the great split
i'll the Liberal party he had found him
self a mark for the ISLANDERS and mis-
representations of the chaser sort of
politicians" but that he had found
compensation in the generous appre-
citation of the majority of his country
men.
Continuing Mr.. Chamherlin said he
was deeply gratified that the foreign
relations of Great Britain were so sat
isfactory, and he asserted that the
country owed a debt of gratitude to
Lord Salisbury for the great improve
ment in Great Britain's position. 1t
was especially gratifying, he said, to
note the friendly relations existing be-
tween the Anglo-Saxon branches, say
ing that tie understanding between
the United States and Great Britain
was indeed a guarantee of the peace of
the world. This statement was greeted
with cheers.
1t was of the utmost Importance, Mr..
| Chamberlain further remarked, that
Great Britain should not remain iso-
lated in Europe and her natural al
lance was with the great German en-
rire. They had had difficulties with
Germany, but their interests and SEN
timents were the same, and an under
standing between the Teutonic and
Anglo-Saxon races might do more than
any combination of armies to preserve
the peace of the world. The world, he
asserted, was not governed entirely by
interest. Sentiment was one of the
factors. Referring to the attacks OF
the foreign press Mr.. Chamberlain
said these newspapers had not even
spared ''the almost sacred person of the
Queen" This, continued the speaker,
provoked natural Indignation (which
may have serious consequences if oui
neighbors do not mend their ways"

PRESIDENT Mckinley is highly
pleased with the reports of General
Otis on the success of the campaign in
the Philippines, showing Aguinaldo to
be fugitive and members of his fam
lily and of his so called government,
prisoners. Secretary Root regards
the insurrection as already over, so far
as organized fighting is concerned. The
ending of the insurrection will spike
the guns of many of the ants in Con-
gress, and they will have to hunt a
new subject for fault finding.

NEVER before in the history of the
fire insurance business of Philadelphia
have the losses due to fire been 50
great as during the present year. The
destruction wrought by that ele-
ment throughout the United States
has been unusually great, but Phila-
delphia has been a notably heavy suf-
ferer. Official figures for the first ten
months of 1898 have reached the enor-
nous total of 50, 1866, 977 and that for
Wednesday last is placed at fully
81, 100000. This would make total to
date of SO, 1867 which is unprece-
dented. There can hardly be reduc-
ion of the high insurance rates, while
there is such an increase in losses to
the company.
