IF OTHER NATIONS INTERFERE
America Should Stand Shoulder
With England.

Washington. Oct, %. Clifton
r. Breckenridge, United States
minister to Russia, during the sec
ond Cleveland administration, in
an interview stated that in case
any nation or combination of ma
tions should attempt to EN- barrass
England in the present war in
South Africa, it would be the i'm
peratIve duty of the United States
to take the part of Great Britain
and sustain her with our whole
moral and material strength He
said: Great Britain's action in
South Africa is in line with the
duty and development of the An
glo-Saxon race. In her present
struggle she deserves the unani-
nous support OF the American peo-
pie. In case other European ma
tions should, through international
jealousies, attempt to retard her in
the clear and simple duty she
performing at this time, the con
duct of the United States should
be determined by considerations
mightier than mere political ex-
pediency or political precedents.
We should be enjoined by every
sentiment of patriotism and every
tie of racial kinship to stand shoul-
der to shoulder with our brethren
across the sea"
