NEW zEALAND's GREAT PLANS

VXT HEN the federation of the Australian colo
w nies was under consideration, commission
appointed by the New Zealand Govern-
ment to investigate the plan and report as to the ex
pedency OF uniting that country with Australia The
commission has reported adversely to the scheme
The chief argument against it has been the fact that
New Zealand is separated from Australia by 1900
miles of that there could be no such thing
as community OF defense in time of war, and more
over the New Zealanders are developing along lines
of their and could not be united in political har-
mony with the Australians.
That the report would be adverse to federation has
been foregone conclusion but nevertheless its
formal submission to the Government is matter of
some Importance as official declaration of the in
tention of the New Zeaanders to stand alone and
build up an empire of their own.
That remarkable commonwealth has entered upon
SO many experiments in the way of state socialism
that many people look upon it as land where the
inhabitants are more intent upon developing new
form of society than anything else. That opinion,
however, is erroneous. The New Zealanders have
the imperial fever about strongly as the Austria
liansA There is already movement among the lead
ers OF the island to bring about the annexation to
New Zealand of the Fjis and numerous other groups
of islands in that part of the ocean In fact the New
Zeaanders proudly call their country the Britain of
the South Seas, and they dream it will yet become to
Australia about what Great Britain is to continental
i Europe. fH |t
For the present the New Zealanders are working
away at state socialism with good deal of enthusi-
asm. The results thus far have not been wholly sat-
1sfactory but they hoping for great things They
have now something more than 1000 miles of state
railroads which cost them an average of $4,000 a
mile A recent report says the cash revenues for

expenditures something less than $5,oooooo Over
that showing Premier Seddon is rejoicing. He is re-
ported as having said: "The railroads are the ser
wants of the people and should be run entirely in
their interests 1t is not desired make profit out
of them, and therefore as revenues increase freight
and passenger rates reduced
All of that sounds very fine. Meantime it is to be
noted that late reports from the island are by no
means rosy the socialists would like them
1t has been found that the interference of the state
with certain lines of business has so dsarranged the
industrial condition of the people that further inter
briun. Thus at the recent opening of the New Zea-
land Parliament the Governor Lord Ranfurly stated
that it is necessary for the Government to open
and operate state coal mine That additional inter
ference will of turn entail further state en-
terprises, and perhaps the not distant future ind
vdua initiative will have been so far checked that
: the Government will have to establish state farms
to supply the people with food and state tailor shops
to furnish them with clothing

Paris, September 6.-The news of the at tempt upon President McKinley's life reached Paris too late for publication in this afternoon papers and consequently 1t was not known outside of newspaper circles, but there 1t created a feeling of consternation. MT. Mckinley was con sidered the last person In the world in danger of assa assination. It can safely be predicted that the news will create a tremendous sensation in Paris tomorrow; and the United States is sure of receiving every mark of sympathy from Frenchmen of all shades of opinion, as the President was always considered friend of France. Articles in the four leading organs of French opinion. the Figaro, the Matin, the Gaulois and the Eclaire, breath this sym pathy:
 The Gaulois says: We feel the neces- sity of expressing to the great people of the United States to whom so many ties unite us our sympathy with them and horror at the crime that has cast them into mourning; but the great faith of this grand people In God will enable them again to recover themselves and pursue the course of their destinies

 Hazard Is often cruel and unjust, but never more so than when it allows a criminal madman to kill, in the name of abominable ideal of liberty, the most democratic chief of the freest people"
 The Figaro pays a warm tribute to the personal honesty of Mir Mckinley, but sees in him representative of the spirit of trusts and protection and asks wheth- CT the explanation of the crime Is not to be found In the fact that Mir. McKin- ley personified in some eyes crowned ar- istocracy and wealth.
 Nevertheless" says the Figaro, France joins in the anguish and ipdig- nation of the American people because, although MT. Mckinley was first respon- sible for the bills which restricted com mercial relations between the two peo- ples he afterward consented to mitigate this regime and renewed the current of trade between them. We remember the affectionate telegrams that MT McKin- ley sent to the President of France at the time of the peace negotiations of Spain and the United States, and the conciliatory and humane policy of Amer ica h China while Mir. Mckinley has been astonishing the world by his moder- alton and spirit of justice in the dis putes between Colombia and Venezuela. We therefore express the sincerest wishes that America may be spared mourning''

their engagement on hearing the news and all the orchestras ceased playing.
 Fhe Daily Mall, In leading article 2n the attempted assassination, remarks upon the peeuliarity of the provisions of the United States constitution that the murder of the President places the Vice President in the presidential chair, and thinks a case conceivable where an an archist might attempt to murder the President with this Every motive. and that an obvious reform of the law sug- gests itself.
 The Morning Post says:
 We regret that the world learns today that another distinguished name is added to the shamefnlly long list of rulers who have fallen victims to the insensate feigned and heartfelt sympathy will so forth from every family in christendom to Mrs. Mckinley in this hour Of deepest sorrow and trial Americans will acquit us of all suspicion of insincerfty when we claim that the blow will be felt with almost equal severity, in Great Britain as in the United States
 The newspapers without exception ex- tend to President Mckinley, his family and the American nation the deepest sympathy and feryent prayers for the Presidents recovery, while heartfelt grat- itude is expressed that the latest reports give ground for hope.
 The Times says edttprially.
 .:It will be a relief to the feelings of the American people to know that the criminal or lunatic was not one of them selves We will not contemplate the pos sibility of a fatal result, but in any case the government of the Unified States will not be disturbed. Vice President Roose- yeIt is a man of ability and distinction, in whose hands there Is no doubt the country's interests will be safe. But President Mckinley has gained an almosf unique position, and 1t would be a cruel stroke of fortune If he were cut of In the plentitpde of his popularity and when hls policy has been apparently vindicated by success at all points"

Denser the throng became as new ar- rivals swelled each moment the swaying multitude. The situation vas becoming critical when suddenly the big door was flung open and a squad of reserves ad- yanced with solid front and drove the crowd back from the curb and then across the street and gradually suceeed- ed in dlspersing them from about the en- trance to the station.
 Police Patrol Streets.
 By this time there were probably 5000 people assembled in the vicinity of Rearl street, Erie street and the Terrace. The crowd was so great that 1t became nec- essary to rope off the entire street in front of police headquarters and at late hour tonight the police were still patrol ing the streets in the neighbprhopd in squads of three or four. Inside the sta tion house were District Attorney Penny, superiptendent of Polies Bull and other officials.
 Crowd Waiting for News.
 Long after mi night crowds were walk ing the streets eagerly inquiring for in- formation, or lettering about the news paper bulletin boards in the hope of addi- tional news. The deepest feeling over the outrage was apparent, and people of all classes without distinction of political partisanship were unanimous in their ex- pressions of abhorrence of the cowardly crime. The latest news obtainable at police headauarters was that District Att torney Penny was still closeted with the prisoner, while mounted police patrolled the district roped off from the public.
 In the course of the evening five men were arrested on the charge of seditious utterances, but later all were released
 At 3 a. m. the street in the neighbor- hood of the Milburn residence was de- serted save for the policemen. who were on guard. and the streets downtown were almost equally quiet.
