the interest of Spain. Tt seems to me impossible" writes M Hanotaux, that public opinion in the United States should not now be quite as well aware of the real facts in this matter as is the United States Department of State.' M. Hanotaux states that the alleged European demonstration against the United States was rendered i'm possible not by Great Britain, but by Russia. Count Muravieff, then Rus sian minister of foreign affairs" ex- plains the French statesman, "commu- nicated to the Spanish ambassador at St. Petersburg the absolute formal re- fusal of Russia to mix herself in any way with quarrel which did not con- cern Russian interests" This commit nication, "couched in the most em- phatic, almost brutal language" as M. Hanotaux characterizes it, made European coalition against the United States impossible.
 If we don't owe that "debt of grati- tude" to Great Britain much lovely sen timent has been wasted.

PRIVATE PROPERTY AT SEA.

The seizure of private property at sea is lawful under present usage, but con sideration of the matter will show that it is not expedient. Under this cus- tom the commerce of both belligerent nations suffers. Ruin is brought upon hundreds of merchants on both sides, commerce is destroyed, the inhabitants of both countries are beggared by war prices-and to what end? It does not shorten the war or contribute material ly to the victory. If we look at the example of former periods" said Lord Palmerton, i've shall not find that any powerful country was ever vanquished by losses sustained by individuals" ;" Even the destruction of an enemy's commerce without damage to our own profits nothing; for our modern theory of economics has demonstrated that a nation is made more prosperous by the

4 NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.

That is an interesting report which comes from Washington to the effect that great national university is to be established there, and that Andrew Carnegie is the benefactor by whose generosity the institution will be set upon it's feet. It is according to the story, to be entirely independent of gov- ernment control, though undoubtedly the basis on which it will rest will be the use of the governments scientific, literary, and artistic collections and facilities It is mentioned that MT. Car negie will start the institution with a gift of $10000,OO0
 With such institutions as Yale and Harvard in existence we do not sup pose that a great national university" is really needed, even if it can be made to order. But it is we'll to wait and see what the scheme is before saying much about it.

prosperity of it's neighbors and that the | impOverishment of one country brings , financial depression upon others, even | upon rivals and enemies. This truth Is
 made the more evident as the peoples of | the earth are drawn closer together by 1 trade, by improvement in navigation, | and by the cable. Generalization in | the financial center of one country is | quickly felt in the financial centers of | the other nations. The markets of the world are dependent upon each other We have been taught to love our ene-
 mics, although we have not often put
 the precept into practice; we must now learn that a care for their material well fare Is good policy as well as good morals.
 Thus it may be seen that it would not be advantageous fora nation to destroy the property of an enemy's merchants,
 even if it could completely defend it's
 own commerce. But no nation is pow
 erful enough to guarantee complete tm-
 munity to its sea trade. The commerce
 of both belligerents must suffer, so that
 each sustains double damage; direct
 loss in its own commerce, in addition to
 an indirect loss through the needless
 impoverishment of the merchants of
 the enemy. The present international
 custom permitting seizure of private
 property at sea is direct menace to
 the prosperity of every shipowner and
 of every merchant who ships his goods
 abroad It is harmful financially and
 useless politically. Under different cir cumstances of life and trade it was per- haps useful instrument; but it is now out of date, and like an ancient can non. is as dangerous to those who at- tempt to make use of 1t as to those against whom it is directed. Com merce has at times made protests against this sword of Damocles above it's head; but commerce has not yet lifted its voice in imperious demand, as it's importance would justify it in doing.
 One cause of this apparent indffer- ence on the part of shipowners is that, while they see that the law of seizure is ruinous to their own individual inter- ests, they have a vague idea that for some occult reason the law is necessary to the state for political purposes. This idea is erroneous. The law of seizure serves no good purpose in the state. On the contrary, it Is most pernicious in that it tends to destroy the commerce and wealth which uphold the state.- James Augustus Whiteley in the Forum

NOT THE REAL THING.l

That is a rather poor idea of fun which some St. Louis men have. They have formed the Henpecked Husbands Association. Meetings are held at the homes of the members, and from these meetings the wives are barred. The object of the association is described as the promotion of forgetfulness of sor- rows. If any member of the society should inadvertently praise his wife at a meeting he is to be heavily fined or expelled.
 Of course these men are not really henpecked. If they were they wouldn't be holding meetings in their own houses to talk about 1t or to eat, drink and smoke over it. They have probably better wives than they deserve. When married men are so comfortable and we'll treated that they feel impelled to form Henpecked Husbands Associa- tion to vary the gentle monotony they are in good case and their action in forming such an association indicates that they don't know when they are we'll off. The best thing the St. Louis men can do is to break up the associa- ton by such praise of their wives as will result in the expulsion of all the members. The wives evidently deserve much praise for quietly putting up with such antics.

NOT so TERY BARE EN.

When Alaska was bought by the
 United States 1t was not generally un- derstood that Alaska was good farm ing region, and it is only lately that its quality in that respect has been made
 apparent. It now appears that Alaska is capable of sustaining rural popula-
 tion of 3,000,0O0. This is the conclusion
 reached by Professor c. Georgeson, who
 has had charge of the experiments con
 ducted in Alaska by the Department of Agriculture. At Sitka 1t was found
 that hardy crops could be grown, but that at present the cost of production is so great as to make the development of the surrounding country unprofitable. It was in the Yukon Valley that the most favorable results were obtained. What was accomplished there convinc- ed Professor Georgeson that there are vast stretches of land in the interior south of the Yukon river on which the hardier grains can be raised with profit just as soon as there are transportation facilities. At one station rye which was planted August 1, 1900, came through the long winter in excellent condition, and matured by August l. this year. Barley and spring wheat ripened in time to escape all damage from frost. Many vegetables were found to be we'll adapted to the far north. There is also reason to believe that cat tie and horses can be raised with profit over large territory. Horses that have been turned loose by prospectors to take care of themselves have not had any trouble in finding food, summer or winter. Sheep have defied the rigors of the climate and flourished on the native vegetation.
 Probably the emigration of farmers from this country to Alaska will not soon be very lively. but it is encourag- ing to know that 1t is possible to live there.

MAILED BY A LION.

On Friday, October 10, news reached
 Mombasa of tragedy in the lion
 haunted Athi river district Two mili-
 tary officers had been shooting on the
 Athi Plains, which teem with game and
 are infested by more lions than any
 other locality in East Africa. On the
 9th one of the sportsmen, Captain B. c.
 de Gex, of the Lancashire Fusileers, started with his gun-bearer and few
 porters on the spoor of lion along the bank of the river. The lion was caught sight of skulking away about 100 yards off toward a bed of reeds and De Gex fired, hitting him with an eight bore rifle shot. The animal, however, was only wounded and before the sec ond shot could be given had gained the cover of the reeds. Knowing 1t to be foolhardy to enter the reeds in pursuit De Gex set his porters to burn them and waited for the exit of the lion. Then occurred the incident which makes the most hardened of African Safari hunters wonder A rhinocerous happen ed to be unnoticed among the reeds close by and, catching sight of the En- glishman, made vicious charge at him ITOIH peililu' IG Stiio ol litc pOl lcl o warned De Grex, and he turned and with one shot killed the charging rhi- noceros. There was a snarl and crush behind him and the wounded lion had him by the right arm, and the white man and the beast were rolling about in the red dust of the Athi Plains. The porters fled to man, but the gum bearer ran up and from magazine rifle fired two shots into the heart of the lion, killing him. The injuries received by De Gex were frightful; his right arm gnawed to a pulp, his chest torn and both legs broken. He was carried to the Athi river station on the Uganda railway, a doctor was telegraphed for and the injured man conveyed to Nairabi The injuries, however, proved fatal, De Gex dying at Il a. m. on Oc- tober 1O,-Edinburgh Scotsman.
