manner in which it was carried out. Prior
to the ceremony he privately expressed
these sentiments, and also his sense that
is an indication of the attitude of the
great body Of American opinion towards
France
Another expression of the feeling in the
official world has appeared In the gov
ernments mouthpiece, which, after re-
viewing the inception and execution of
the idea, concluding by saying:
'All these demonstrations form YER
liable cult, consecrated by the Americans
to the great French citizen who aided
them to win their independence, which
does the greatest honor to the people of
the United States and deeply touches the
French people. If there are In the world
two peoples made to love and compre-
hend one another, it is surely those of the
two greatest republics which exist on the
face of the globe"
The exquisite workmanship of the
casket in which the Lafayette dollar was
inclosed formed an object of admiration
for all Frenchmen who saw 1t. The press
use the Lafayette incident for the pur-
pose of drawing contrast between the
ideals Of America and France and Great
Britain at the present time. One re-
marks:
1T is truly fine spectacle to see two
great republics invoking their souvenirs
of heroism and celebrating the rights of
their people, while England is going to
strangle the Transvaal."
HOSTILITY TO BRIToNs.
These expressions of sympathy for
America throw into stronger relief the
intense hostility now being displayed
against Great Britain Even the Mardi
Gras carnival furnished an illustration of
this Anglophobia and of the Gallo ad-
miration of the Boer.

Cronje arrived on Mardi Gras and served
