There was much rejoicing in Eng land when the news of Mckinley's election was sent over the water. One of our exchanges recalls the fact that there was a time when the name of the present occupant of the White House was not acclaimed in that coun- try with so much enthusiasm as it is at present. That was when it was associated with tariff legislation which initiated against British trade. But the recent services rendered by the present administration to the British government have made Englishmen forget the Mckinley of 1880 and only think of the ally of 1900, who has done 90 much to safeguard British interests in every part of the world. It is this land is Indebted for having a free hand in South Africa in the work of sup pressing two republics; to him she is under obligations for a free gift of a slice of Alaska; to the same benefac- tor she owes a debt of gratitude for helping her in China and Samoa; him also she must thank for doing what he could to make her joint partner with the United States in the control of the proposed Nicaragua canal. With this loag list of benefits to his credit, Will liam Mckinley has naturally become EnglanTs favorite. Lord Salisbury in his speech delivered at the lord mayors banEsuet, thus patted him on the back for what he has done: "One of the circumstances which has grati- fled me most heartily during the last year is the very hearty friendly feeling displayed betiweee11if I tfi s4c6tntry and the United States. I hope Mir Choate will forgive me if there is any irregularity in my expression. It. is quite wrong for q secretary of state to make any observations with respect to the inter- nal politics of another country, but I am soon to give up my office, and, in view of this abandonment which is close at hand, I hope NIT Choate will forgive me for expressing the supreme satisfaction with which all of us have heard of what has recently taken place in the United States" Gratitude has been defined by 2. French cynic as "a lively sense of fayors to come" This is the sort of gratitude England enter tains for Mckinley. She hopes to ob- tain many more favors from him, and it is for this reason Lord Salisbury, breaking through all diplomatic re- straints, openly proelaimed his "su- preme satisfaction' that England will have in the White House for the next four years loyal ally in the person of William dcKiuleyi

illustrates this fact amusingly.

S rather unusual feat for lions, yet
that is what two of them did some time

Nyanza. The matter was referred to
by Lord Salisbury in one of his address

These lions were man-eaters and for
more than eight months they terror
lied 5000 laborers engaged in the work
Of construction. Scores of these men
they dragged off and devoured. The
greater part of the camp having at
length moved up the country beyond
the forging ground of the lions, several
hundred were left behind to build
bridges. Upon these the lions made a
still more sanguinary descent Night
after night they would carry away one

In India a man-eating tiger kills
more than hundred people a year;
sometimes four or nve and even seven
persons at once. In some districts 300
or 400 human beings are annually slain
by tigers and in lower Bengal as many
as 700 are killed. One tigress has been
known to close the public roads, cause

weeks and succeeded in attracting the
admiration of another lover of horse
flesh, who made proposal to pur-
chase.
Well said the Memphian, 81 gave

The prospective owner looked the an
imal over and concluded he had bar
balm. He paid over the money and
took the mare. When the animal was
unhitched the first thing she did was
to run against post and then, by way
of emphasizing the fact that she was
blind, fell over barrel. The next day
the buyer came back to the Memphian
with blood in his eye.

an easy air.
"You didn't say anything to me about

located the owner and asked the price.

and military officers as we'll as laborers
from India, coolies and African ma
tives. On almost any night, and at any
time of the night, the men were liable
to be aroused by the shrieks of their
abducted comrades, and to hear the
cracking of their bones and the tearing
of their limbs rod or two away, while
the lions growled and quarreled over
their prey. Sick men in the hospital
died from sheer terror at these horrible
sounds and the horrible scenes they
suggested. The beasts were shot at in
the darkness, but seldom hit. For fire
arms, fire or torches they cared moth
ing. One of them leaped upon an Off
Ger, tore his knapsack from his back
and then carried away and devoured
soldier near him.
Many became so terror-stricken that
they threw themselves on the rails in
front Of a coastward train and insisted
on either being run over or carried off
on the train. Those who stayed for
sock the tents and huts and camped
out on top of the water tanks, on roofs
and bridge girders or in beds lashed to
the highest branches of the trees. One
night one of these broke, letting it's
dodgers fall within a few feet of the
lions. But, being already too occupied
with d"vouring a victim, the brutes
gave no heed to this "windfall," but let
the intruders escape until another
meal.
Killed Nearly One Hundred Men.
During the eight months that these
lions lived upon these railroad men
they would be occasionally wounded by
a shot and obliged to retire from active
life, thus giving the camp intervals of
quiet. But they killed and ate in all
nearly thirty natives of India, twice as
many African natives, besides injuring
many others of various nationalities.
1t was impossible to poison them be-
cause they confined their diet entirely
to human beings, to the neglect Of every
kind of game, with which the region
abounds. The white men were not
numerous enough to hunt them sue
cessfully and the Sepoys were too un-
skilled with firearms. At length an en-
gineer of the line who spent months of
his time pursuing them, worn out by
loss of sleep, sitting up In the moon
light and tracking them during the day,
succeeded In shooting them both and
putting an end to these man-eaters'
reign of terror. They were each over
nine feet long.
Both Africa and India are in many
parts under the dominion of the lion
and tiger. Against the lion of South
Africa the native has to be constantly
on his guard. The Arabs arrange their
tents in a circle in the center of which
the herds are penned, and outside the
tents is a rude hedge. When they hear
the animal begin roaring, and he can be
heard plainly at distance of three
miles, sometimes family nine miles off.
they kindle the heaps of wood that
have been piled up before each tent so
that the occupant may hurl n lighted
brand at him. But some of the brutes
have become so wonted to the fire. the
yelping of the dogs and the cries of the
people that they pay no attention to
them. He boldly leaps within the in
closure. He drives men, women and
children into their tents. silences tha
