GOOD WORD FOR BRITISH.

plOns Eng lana cause.
LIE Matin of Antwerp recently pub
lished Il two column interview with
Alexander Hess, a German who has
just arrived from Natal. Mr.. Hess fully
champions the British cause in the
present conflict. declaring that the Boer
government is absolutely corrupt.
MIR. Hess acknowledges that the Brit
ish government, in the negotiations
which preceded the war, acted with
justice and forbearance despite the
fact that the Transvaal broke the
BlOemfontein treaty by concluding u
treaty with Portugal and also by send
ing Dr. W. J. Leyds to Europe as min
lister of the South African Republic.
The Transvaal volksraad, Mr.. Hess
says, TO his knowledge has brought
pressure TO bear on the supreme court,
compelling the tribunal in one instance,
after it had decided in favor of the
English litigantS. to reverse its deci-
sion so as to favor DR.. Leyds, the other
party to the suit.
The Beers will soon tire of this
war;" Mr.. Hess concludes. lowing to
the neglect of their homes and farms
which it entails, to their want of sup

This interview is a source of I'M
bounded surprise to the pro-Boer pOpu-
lation of Antwerp. it being the first
word i'll favor of Great Britain pub

war began, says the Philadelphia Press.
In fact, British residents declare. the
entire continental press has willfully
misled its readers as to Great Britain's
motives and methods, and these read
ers-in Antwerp. at least-are aston
ished to find such views from an i'm
partial authority given publicity in this

He made ~ sOundings in n hitherto

TO RESTRICT CONSUMPTION
Medical Men In England Met to Plan
Great Congress.


At meeting Of eminent medical
men and others held recently in Gray's
Inn hall plans were discussed for the
holding of n great international con
gress IN London for the discussion of
ways and means for preventing the
spread of consumption. Sir William
Broadbent presided over the meeting
and various preliminary details in con-
nection with the congress were settled.
The congress will probably be held
in the spring of 1901, and it is hoped
To secure the participation of eminent

by the National Association For the
Prevention of Consumption, of which
the Prince of Wales is patron, says the
Chicago Evening Post. Though the
association has had but n comparative
ly brief existence, it reports having
accomplished great deal of work in
disseminating a knowledge of the
means of aYerting the spread of the
disease.
Eminent medical men, public author
tiles and societies throughout Great
Britain have taken up the movement,
branches of the association are active
ly working in many large cities and

No Prospect of Settlement of the St.
Louis Strike.
BOTH SIDES ARE DETERMINED
The Situation Seems to Be More
Strained Than Ever.
MORE DYNAMITE OUTRAGES

ST. LOUIS. June 1s.-There being no i'm
mediate prospect of an honorable settle
ment of the street railway strike, the sit
uation has become more strained than ever
The Transit officials say that as far as they
are concerned the strike is over, while the
men, backed by the Federation of Labor,
declare they will fight to the bitter end.
Despite the large number of attempts
| made yesterday to blow up street cars
Sheriff Pohman is of the opinion that the
force of special deputies is no longer need
ed, and that the police are sufficient for
protection purposes. He has sent the fol-
lowing communication to President Halves
OF the police board on the subject:
"All reports made to me by the members
of the posse confirm my own impression
that a very radical change has taken place
| in the condition of our city. The immediate
parties to the controversy may he as far
apart az ever. and the general public seems
determined to give effective expression to
its sympathy in the conflict, but 1t cannot
be said that violence on a large scale is
now resorted to.
Not Result of Organization.
THE offenses reported are not the result
of concerted action, but are of a charac-
ter to call for the usual police control 1
venture to suggest, therefore. that, in view
of this changed situation, the retirement
of the posse ought to be considerable not
the discharge, at least the withdrawal
While it is true that the use of power is
sometimes necessary to restore peace, 1t
is equally true that the unnecessary dis
play of power is not best calculated to
maintain that peace. l suggest that 1t
would be well to test the question whether
or not this community is now ready to
exercise its usual self-control and in all
respects to express and to assert its posi-
ton within the recognized limits of the
law of the land.
