NEW HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL

morning President Kruger's message
has not reached us. AS far as France
! is concerned, she certainly will not take
the initiative in offering England me-
diation, nor will Russia, for the dual
alliance is naturally working together
in this question. We feel that in the
present excited state of public feeling
in England, and especially as regards
ourselves any step taken by the
French government would defeat it's
own object and instead of opening a
way to honorable peace would act as oil
on flames and probably only create
fresh complications.
1--WE consider that overtures for me-
diation can emanate only from some
power whose cordial relations with
England prevent such suggestion be-
ing construed as an unfriendly act
The emperor Of Germany, for instance,
might take the initiative, or President
MCKINLEY without fear of creating the
friction which stands in the way of
any such action on our part, and after
this is done full reliance can be placed
on the unqualified support of France
and Russia, whose only desire is to see
the end Of the bloodshed and who are
eager to lend their good offices in bring
ing about this end"
