POKES FUN AT DEWEY.
Goldwin Smith of Toronto, Ontario
Thinks He Is Overestimated.

Toronto, Ont, Sept. 22.-Goldwin
Smith, writing in a local paper says;
Nothing could show the extent to
which the head of Columbia has been
turned by the war more than her adOr-
alton of the hero Dewey. What did
the hero Dewey and his comrades do2
They sat in almost perfect safety and
destroyed at long range a line Of help
less tubs, with some hundreds of the
poor Spaniards who manned them, and
who alone had any opportunity of show
ing heroism on the occasion. So per-
fectly secure did the Americans feel
that they adjourned to breakfast in the
middle of their spor+. There was among
them a single casualty and had they
all gone tiger hunting, one casualty at
least probably would have occurred.
For this, however, Dewey is declared
to be the equal of the great seaman
who conquered on the terrible days of
Aboukir, Copenhagen, Trafalgar. If he
were SO inclined he might probably be
elected resident of the United States.
Canada can not possibly take part in
the celebration of Dewey's triumphs
without an evident breach of courtesy
toward Spain, a friendly nation. which
has done Canada no wrong. Spain, let

Emile lola Writes to Madam Dreyfus
of the Pardon.

Paris, Sept 22.-The Aurore this
morning publishes a letter written by
Emile lola to Madame Dreyfus, in
which the writer rejoices at the former
captains pardon. but says that it
doubtless comes late.

obtain pity when one asks for justice,
and all seems to have been precOncert-
ed in order to bring about this last
iniquity. The judges, wishing to strike
the innocent in order to save the guilty,
seek refuge in an act of horrible hypo-
crisy which they call mercy"
NJ lola expresses regret that the gov
eminent trembled before the arrogance
OF a faction. and adds: ITO think of
going to appease the people by means
of iniquity is the height of voluntary
blindness. The only way to have saved
Frances honor in the eyes of the
world would have been to submit the
case to the court of cessation, but our
degradation is such that we are re-
duced to cOngratulating the govern
ment for having shown itself merciful-
But this rehabilitation, which ought
to have been, for the glory of the coun-
try. done Immediately, your husband
may await with upheld head. We are
going to continue the struggle. We are
going to fight for justice tomorrow as
vigorously as yesterday. What we want
is the rehabilitation of an innocent man
less for him, who has so much glory,
than for the rehabilitation of France"

The Transvaal Knot Must be Loosened,

Birmingham, England, August 20
In throwing open his own gardens here
this Afternoon to the members of the
chief of the Saint Bartholomew Ward
Liberal Unionists, Mr. Joseph Chamber
lain, Secretary of State for the Cello
MES, was drawn into the most imp0r-
tant speech on the Transvaal situation
he has made since the adjournment or
Parliament.
Il know there is one subject which
is very deep in all your hearts," he
said, land about which I cannot talk
or say much, lest | do harm. That is
the relation of our race with the Trans
vaal Government. / wish that | could
tell you today that the difficulties exist
ing for so many years between Her
Majesty's Government and the Oil
garchy in Pretoria, which has assumed
such an acute form during the last
few years, were happily settled. But
unfortunately that is not yet in my
power. As you know. for three months
we have been negotiating
Il do not think it will be denied that
we have exhibited unparalleled patience
in the relations between paramount
and a subordinate state. The situation
is too fraught with danger, it is too
strained for indefinite postponement.
The knot must be loosened, to use Mr..
Balfourr's words, or else we shall have
to find either ways of untying it.
IF we are forced to do that, then /
would repeat now words used by Lord
Salisbury in the House of Lords. / say
that, if forced to make further prepara-
ti0ns, if this delay continue much lon
ger, we shall not hold ourselves limi-
ted by what we have already offered,
but having taken this matter in hand,
we will not let go until we have secured
once for all that which will establish
us as the paramount power in South
Africa and secure for our subjects there
those equal rights and privileges prom
ised by President Kruger when the
TransvaaP independence was granted"
