With the republics they represented

express their appreciation and thAnkS
Here are a few Of the messages:
'T highly appreciate the presidents
,r,sndIv action. CAMBRIDGE"
-I consider President McKinley's ae-
ton as an example Of deep forethousht
and extreme patriotism and respect Tor
the country over which he presides.
"ABERCoRN.
'T greatly appreciate the friendship
of the United States.
SOMERSET"
ct highly appreciate the attitude OF
the American government notWith-
standing the dificulties Of Its position
/ hope the good feeling between the
two countries will continue.
NEWCASTLE"
ct il evident that President AcKin-
Iey's action In definitely informing the
Boer delegates that neutrality made In
reference impossible will be accepted
by many In this country as q token OF
the friendship existing between the
two governments, and II is gratifying
to see that in the face Of considerable
opposition the United States govern
ment has accepted q similar policy to
that Of England In the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, an attitude which can only
strengthen the friendly feeling now ex-
listing between the two countries.
"LoNsDALE."
Having always looked hopefully to
friendly union Of the Anglo-Saxon race
the world over, gratefully welcome
whatever tends to amity between Eng
land and America WEMHSS.
ct never doubted the good viii Of
President Mckinley toward this coun-
try, which at the present moment Is
evinced by his correct attitude. This
friendly feeling. as well as the sym
patty of the American people, is much
appreciated by the entire English ma
ton, which cherishes sentiments OF
sincere attachment to your country.
"RoTHSCHILD."
81 warmly appreciate President Nc
Kinley's friendliness toward England
at the present moment
"sTANHoPE."
The course pursued by the presi-
dent is In accordance not only with his
personal friendly disposition toward
this country, but also with that Of q
large majority Of his eountrymen who
have studied South African questions.
"LOCH."
Our league would have been much
surprised had Mckinley done other
wise. We should be slow to believe
that America was anything but friend
ly toward England. because America
has more to gain than lose by such
friendship, and the oneness of purpose
Of both nations ought to cement the
understanding.
Nv. C. CRUTCHLEY,
Secretary Of the Navy league"
Mckinley is the first president of the
United States to elicit commendation
from such sources. No other president
ever ELECTED them, because no other
president ever was false to the prin-
ciples and traditions Of the republic.
Impartial history win record that he
was the only chief magistrate, from
down to himself, to with
hold a word Of cheer to men strug-
Cling for liberty; and the only one
capable Of Withholding it to win the
plaudits of titled lords. Were McKin-
ley really neutral British mobiles would |
not so highly praise him Their ad-
Is excited by the evidence
that he is British ally.-Dubuque
