GLADsroNE's RESPONSIBILITY.

bies at His Door.

Vanity Fair Lnys TransvanI Trou-
bies at His Door.
London, June 1S.-A theme of much
talb of course continues to be what will
be The outcome of the bother with the
Transvaal. England seems to have stiff
fened her back in dead earnest but what
tho outcome will be there is no saying,
as indignation and intense feeling were
excited IN the Transvaal situation.
Vanity Fair this week hanks back to
the grave, and places, in an article OF very
questionable taste the responsibility of
the present trouble upon Mr.. Gladstone
1t says; 1T is no time to honor dead
msps memories at the expense of truth
we writhe under Gladstone's Legacy, and
the slavery he has put upon so many of
our fellow subjects in the Transvaal. We
must wipe the Gladstonian stain from
our fame in the Transvaal. We saxte no
strong measures will be really needed,
but at the moment it looks as if the hope
were against hope, and for the hopeless
ness of it we have to thank the greatest
radical in English history"

Ing Captain Dreyfus. has passed en- route
for Brest, where she is expected before
Saturday next. 1t is expected that Captain
Dreyfus will be landed by night and that
special train will be in waiting to take
him to Rennes where the courtmartlal Is
to be held.
General Mercler, who was minister for
war when Captain Dreyfus was condemned,
spoke publicly for the first time since the
court OF cessation rendered Its decision
at meeting OF the French patriotic league
yesterday, where he was greeted with loud
applause.
your acclamations," said General Mer-
cier, "are addressed only in small part
TO the soldier who did his duty in 1894
and Is firmly resolved to accomplish It IN
1899. They are chiefly addressed to our
dear army, OF which at this critical mo-
ment, you do me the honor OF regarding
as the standard bearer"
He then proceeded to declare his abso-
Lutte conviction of the guilt Of Dreyfus
and his belief that the Rennes courtmar-
tial would fearlessly ascertain the truth
and do its duty.
"As for myself" he declared, 81 shall
tell everything ] know"
This, as prominent advocate OF revision
remarked, is just what Is wanted.

OPPOSITION OF WILLIAM
To the Doctrine of Arbitration Only Q Bit
Of "impressiveneSS,
LIKELY THAT He WILL COME AROUND
III Not, the Peace Conference VIII
Proceed with Its work, Leave
ing Germany Out.

London, June 1s,--The correspondent OF
the Times at The Hague who thinks that
tine outlook for the peace conference
promising, says: Emperor William Is a
born dramatist. He does not like to see
such an important event as the peace
conference pass by without impressing has
own stamp on 1t, and .lost Likely, when
Dr.. zorn returns all will 90 we'll
The c0rresp. ndent of the Daily News
at The Hague says DR.. Zorn, whom En-
per~r William summoned on Friday by
8 special messenger arrived in Berlin
yesterday Saturday morning accom-
panied by Mr., Hollis of the United States
delegation. They only had time for break
fasl, and at 10 o'clock were driven TO the
Imperial palace, where instant admission
was granted them by the kaiser himself
who was waiting for them. They had a
further audience with his majesty today
and were expected to leave Berlin on their
return to Inc Hague this evening.
They were appointed joint messengers
Of the conference because they had be-
COME intimate friends since they met here.
DR.. ZGrn speaks very little English, but
M Hollis speaks German perfectly. If
Emperor William refuses any sort OF
tribunal the conference will probably 60
on without him, but his openly hostile
ALI. will arouse protests in Germany
and Mr.. Hollis has probably taken the
liberty III pointing out the depiorabie
fact that Germany would occupy an unen-
v.able position in the civilized world. AT
any rate, II worst comes to worst the con-
ference will invite him to sign the csn-
vention with a reservation about the TIL
bunal, pledging himself to use the peace
conference as a procedure in arbitration.

GEN. LUDLOW'S OPINION.
Believes He VIII Stay in Cuba for Many
Years.
THE cuBANs WILL HAVE TO BE TAUGHT
According to he Administrn-
tons Representative.

New York. June 1s.--The Herald's spe-
clal from Havana says:
You can deny that ! am going TO the
Philippines or that lave made any re-
quest of the government to send me
there" SAID General Ludlow to me last
night. Il like Havana very much. and
hope to remain here until the work OF ie-
construction is completed"
Just how long, in his opinion, that would
take. the general would not say, but it
was not difficult TO gather from his re-
marks that he believed the American nag
will float over Cuba fer some time, and IL
he continues to hold his present office UNI
der an American protectorate OF the island,
1t Will be necessary to put him on the re-
tired list on account of old age
Speaking Of the so-called anti-Gomez
aud old assembly element that has lately
added very strong antiAmerican plank
10 its political platform, General Ludlow
said that those men represented the
schemers and trouble makers on the Is
land. aud Havana was their hOtbed.
He did not anticipate any serious trouble
from that class, but nevertheless he was
keeping In touch with all their doings, and
knew where to place his hand on any one
of them, should the occasion require lie
recognized the feet that they have strong
following, especially in the city. and might
incite a revolution, but aside from the
forces of American soldiers, the governor
had provided. in case of an uprising for a
strong force Of civilians, made UP of the
best residents of Havana.
Cuban leaders themselves. General Lud-
low thought, realized the folly OF any revo-
lutonary movement for that would for
ever end their cherished desires OF Cuba
libre He said that he found the Cubans
intelligent as class, and they were fast
acquiring means of conducting mu:GcipaI
business. As to Cuba's future government
that was not for him to say The general
declared the islanders at present were d.

CANADA is DETERMINED.
Must Have Her Way Concerning
Houudary.

Must Have Her Way Concerning
boundary.
New York. June 1s.-- special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washington
Gays:
Canada has served notice on England that
she must choose between the United States
and her North American dominion In the
settlement of the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton.
1t is stated on the highest authority that
this statement represents accurately the
condition submitted to England. which has
delayed the negotiations between Amhas-
sador choate and Lord Salisbury on the
provisional line of the modus viyendi.
This position OF Canada is known here
officially. The official to whom 1t is
known feels authorized in saying that
there are only two ways out of the off
ficulty. first that Canada will voluntarily
recede from her demands for Pacific port
or else that the United States shall sur
render the principle laid down by Secretary
Hav.
The present situation, in the light
of this important news, is that the
conflict which the provisional bonn
dairy line wns intended TO prevent
may be precipitnted at ans moment
and with greater show OF probn-
bility when it becomes known that
England has decided to stand ire
VocabIy behind Canada.
