be- and though his lovely wife may smile and smile
never so persuasively.
STRONGER THAN BRYAN.
From The Syracuse Post-standard.
a sound money expansionist Admiral who has
won a battle would be much more formidable
antagonist for President Mckinley than a 16 to
calamity colonel who resigned from the volunteers
and has been talking for Aguinaldo with all his
breath ever since.
WEAK SUPPORT.

There is no enthusiasm manifested, the news is
received much as any news Of that character would

HUMILIATING FAILURE.
From The Cleveland Leader.
Most humiating of all is the extreme probability

SUBMARINE BOATS FOR DEFENCE.

House of Commons to-day as to the steps taken
by Her Majesty's Government with reference TO
submarine boats and the American submarine
boat Holland. The First Lord of the Admiralty,
George j. Goschen, replied that the Admiralty had
given attention to the subject But he added, even
if the practical difficulties attending the of sub
marine boats could be overcome they must essen
TALLY remain weapon for maritime Powers on the
defensive. and it natural that those nations
who anticipate holding that position should en-
deavor to develop submarine boats" Mr.. Goschen,
continuing. said the best method of meeting their
attack receiving consideration and in this
direction practical suggestions would be valuable.
The First Lord of the Admiralty then said:
1t seems certain that a reply to this weapon
be looked for in other directions than in building
submarine boats ourselves. for clearly sub
marine boat cannot fight another.
