The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-03-04

against the British The crowds parading
the boulevards in the evening raised un-
ceasing shouts of "A bas AngIais."
Wives les Beers" Two Englishmen who
were indiscreetly seated on the terrace
of cafe in the Boulevard Puissonniare
We're noticed and denounced by some fan
atics, and In few moments the merry
throng OF carnivalmakers was metamo-
phorsised into q bowling crowd, yelling
Conspius les Anglaises." The English
men were struck and forced to take
refuge within the cafe, winch the mob
besieged for an hour, until a strong body
of police arrived The police charged and
dispersed the crowd, arresting six per-
sons, who will be prosecuted for assault.
The turn of the tide in favor Of Great
Britain in the TransVaal has produced a
painful impression here, although many
or the best organs, while eulogizi the
heroic conduct of Cronje's army, also pay
tribute to the splendid soldierly qua tiles
shown by Gems. Roberts and Buffers
troops. A majority of the newspapers
urge Great Britain to seize the present
opportunity, now that her military pres
tige is restored to make peace on the
basis of the independence of the Trans
vaal. A large section of public opinion
demand that the European powers shall
intervene, and compel Great Britain to
accept their mediation for the sake of
the two plucky republics. President Mo
Kinley is freely spoken of as the only
chief of state whose Intervention coudl b.
accepted by Great Britain, but, at the
same time the ungracious aspect of such
task is fully appreciated, and the un-
likeliness of such a step is recognized.
The Figaro says:
Anything is possible from across the
Atlantic but the president OF the United
States must feel deep repugnance at
the role which some people are endeaVor-
ing to impose upon him. Lord Salisbury
would, in this eventuality, ask reciprocity
for Englands attitude in the Spanish war,
and everything indicates that he would
return it."
LIE Radical assails America for refusing
to burn her fingers, and says:
ALIAS, America, the only country that
can act, refuses to do so. She has no con-
ception of what she owes to humanity.
Young as she is, she is imbued with An
glo-Saxon selflshness."
The foregoing savage attack upon the
United States for refusing to intermeddle
with other peoples affairs is an isolated
case, and should be regarded as such.
The papers admire the heroism OF Gen
Cronje, and Henri Rochefort in the In
transigeant, has started a subscription to
present Cnroje with a sword. Henri de
Roulede sent 100 francs, accompanied by
q characteristic letter, from San Sebas-
tan. The subscription list reached 1900
francs In four days.
Influenza is now the popular complaint
IN Paris. President Loubet, Cardinal Rich
ard and the Marqi us Galifat, minister
of war. are among the sufferers. The lat
ter was at one time in a serious condition,
but is now recovering. Acute influenza
formed the subject of discussion at the
Paris Academy of Medicine, In which a
number of leading physicians took part,
All agreed that no specific cure exists.
New tangled remedies were pooh-poohed,
and the great reliance seems to be placed
in a simple curative treatment, such as
