thin an hour the worthy doctor was
extending the same fluctuations to

Canadian Loyalty.

The opposition party in Canada
to the South African war have been
using strong efforts to commit the
government 10 a declaration that the
future action Of Canada is not bound
by the attitude the colony has taken
in the present war.
In the House of Commons last
week Mr.. Bourassa moved that the
House insist on the independence Of
parliament and refuse consequently
to consider the action OF the govern.
ment in relation to the South African
war as precedent which should
commit the dominion to any action
in the future, and that the House
further declares that it opposes any
change in the political and military
relation which exist at present bet.
ween Canada and Great Britain,
unless such change is initiated by
the sovereign will Of parliament and
sanctioned by the people of Canada,
Sir Wilfred Laurier regretted that
be could not accept the resolution,
although it asserted principles with
which he agreed. The premier then
defenGed the action Of the govern
ment and said that there never wal
mere just war than that in which
Great Britain was now engaged il
South Africa.

Peace Conference A
Failure.


The report that in diplomatic cir
cles in Washington an unpleasant
suggestion has been thrown out to
the eject that The Hague cOnferen.
co has resulted in complete failure,
and that even the limited programme
agreed upon is never 70 be perfected
will cause keen disappointment to
all lovers OF peace through QUE the
world
The basis for this view is the fact
that up to this time it is not known
officially that any one OF the powers
represented in the conference has
ratified the three conventions pre-
pared there. Treaties themselves
require that each of the participants
in the conference shall be notified
whenever tho other parties ratify the
conventions. Up to this time no
such notice has reached this country.
So far as the United States gov.
ernment il concerned, only one Of
the three treaties has been ratified
by tine Senate, and even in that case
the fOrmalities have not been carried
to completion. 1t is probable, how.
ever, that the appearance in Wash
ington ofthe newly appointed Dutch
bringing with him tho Off
cial copies Of the conventions, may
result in further action BY the United
States.

The change of front

party in regard
to Porto Rico
History of the case.

The Whole political and non poll
teal world read with delight and
enthusiasm that part of the Presid-
enps message recommending free
trade betreen this Island and the
United States. Every Puerto Rican
felt that it WIS the logical sequence
of the friendly invasion Of the Isl
and by the United States.
Every body, Americans, Spani
ards or Puerto Ricans. ssere O: one
mind Op this subject; and President
Mckinley expressed the feelings Of
all when he SAID in his message TO
Congress: "The markets of the
Unlsed States should be opened up
to her products. Our plain duty is
to abolish all customs tariffs between
the United States and Puerto Rico,
and give her products free ACCESS to
onr markets Is would apprear
that such sentiments had taken rot
in the hearts OF almost every citizen
of the United States, If we are 10

blicans we're as indignant as the
Democrats. Republican newspapers
were Outspoken on the subject, and
joined ia the democratic autcr,
against the tariff; and boldly pre-
dicted disaster at the polls if the
tariff policy was persisted in.
1t is curious to knotO what brought
abent the change Of policy. The
Chicago Herald publishes from its
Washington correspondent the story
Of the change which is most interest.
ing and important for Puerto Rico.
It would appear that after Con-
gressman Payne had consulted the

their herds upon the land without the
lation OF this right damages may be had
by the owner of the land. The decision
