count of the competition we have made
against the English lines. We consider the
seizures entirely illegal and against any
thing that until now has been considered
the law of nations. The actions of Great
Britain are simply those of brutal force,
and what the consequence will be We can
not say. So far in both the case of the
Bundesrath nd the General, the only rep
reservations made by Great Britain consist
in the allegation that they are suspected
of carrying contraband. The directors of
the line have not the least doubt they have
no contraband on board. Every precaution
was taken, going so far as to even dis
charge at Port Said and Der-es-Saalam ar
ticies of war shipped on board our steamers
previous to the outbreak of hostilities. Re-
garding the passengers, many of them are
known to US as regular patrons of the line.
1t was known that others intended to go
to the Transvaal, and while there might be
some adventurers anxious to profit by the
prospects there, there was not, so far as
the directors could ascertain, one passenger

HERE'S A STRANGE STORY.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-A special to the Rec

Chappelle, apostolic delegate TO the Philip
pines, passed through here on the Coptic
for Manila 1T was stated by passengers who
were on the vessel with him, and who
stopped off here, that his mission was not
alone a spiritual one, but that he went TO
adjust on behalf of the church the ques-
ton of land titles and church-property
titles under the new regime. The precise
question he is to settle is said to arise out
of the claim of the church to an original fee
simple title to all of the land in the Phil
ippines derived from grants made In aid OF
missionary work by sovereign Spain CEN
turies ago. AS a compromise and settle
ment of these claims, il is said, the arch
bishop has an agreement with President
Mckinley whereby, in consideration OF
$40 600, 900 worth of property, to be selected
by the archbishop, for which clear and
unincumbered title is to be given by the
United States, the church is TO waive all
claims to title to any other property or
land in the Philippines. The archbishop is
to select the property he wants the church
to retain.

LONDON, Jan. S.--Arthur j. Balfour,
first lord of the treasury, delivered his

Balfour contrasted the conditions of last

had begun at The Hague. with those of

melancholy reasons rest in the Jameson
raid which gave the Transvaal a chance

but for self-protection. Thus we are criti-
