BRITAIN AND AMERICA
COMMENTS OF THE LONDON PRESS
ON WEDNESDAYS BANQUET.
One Editor Advocates the HOisting OF
the stars and stripes ON Inde-
pendence Day.

LONDON, June 6.-Appreciation of the
eordiality of the sentiments Americans and
British are now so frequently exchanging
is the burden of the comments of the aft
ernoon papers Wednesday evening :
Chamber of Commerce banquet. The St.
James Gazette is so friendly that it ad-
vocates a display of the stars and stripes
alongside the union jack on all public
buildings throughout the empire July 4
on the same principle that English uni
versity men group the light blue and the
dark blue (the colors of Cambridge and
Oxford. respectively. when they meet.
The Globe alone takes exception TO the
dictum that commerce is the great peace
maker of the world. and thinks trade ri
valry and the desire 10 secure new markets
are liable to prove fruitful sources of
trouble.
The Westminster Gazette says: ''Mr.
Chamberlain once said il would almost be
worth a great war to see the union jack
and stars and stripes floating side by side.
A less martial way of cutivating good
feeling between the two races was adopted
when the London Chamber of Commerce
entertained the New York Chamber of
Commerce at dinner
The Times is rather distressed at the fact
that nobody referred TO the Derby or the
yacht race, but that the chambers stuck to
their commerce with praiseworthy determi-
nation. and says that whatever in the fore
noon, the evening was most correctly spent.
The paper adds: I'VE are glad TO see Lord
Lansdowne's quoting of those admirable
words recently uttered by President Nc
Kinley, who expressed the hope that our
past and increasing prosperity may be
fruitful of nothing but good for our elders
in the brotherhood of nations The most
daring speaker, perhaps, was Mr.. Griscom.
He said his countrymen hoped to build up
their shipping trade. They had made a be-
ginning and, with the cooperation of their
government, trusted 10 soon see their flag
flying side by side with that of Great Brit
ain. Considering how frightened some of us
have been at this beginning. and how little
We appreciate corporation between the
state and shipping interests in America,
Mr.. Griscom was certainly a bold man.
The Westminster Gazette suggests the
banquet may ''be regarded the friendly
handshake which precedes a vigorous en-
counter" and adds: 1T served at least to
demonstrate that if our American rivals
are going TO knock US out of time in the
markets OF the world our merchants mean
to take their fate in the best of spirit"

KILLED AND DEVOURED
FATE OF GERMAN EXPEDITION TO
THE SOUTH SEAS.
Twelve of the Party Slain by Canni-
bal Natives of st. Matthias Island
and Their Bodies Eaten.

BERLIN. June 6.-The Tageblatt prints
containing a full account of the massacre
sea expedition on the cannibal island of
ST. Matthias. They were all killed and
eaten, save a DR.. Heinroth.
The Colonial Zeitung, the official organ
of the German Colonial Society, furnishes
details of the massacre. 1t seems that the
vessel, which carried the expedition to the
Island Of st. Matthias left after a few days
for Herbertshoh. New Britain. to get coal
and fresh supplies. During it's absence the
savages, who had hitherto appeared friend
ly, although known to be rabid cannibals,
planned TO kill and rob the diminished par
~. The plot was carried out one morning
while the members OF the expedition, who
had body guard of forty drilled Papuans,
were cleaning their rifles. which they had
taken apart. Suddenly eighty of the island
ers broke from the bushes. raising fierce
war cries and brandishing spears. with
which they stabbed to death the leader of
the party, DR.. Mencken heretofore cabled
as Mereke or Mencka), his secretary, Herr
Caro- and white sailor who was asleep
under tent
DR.. Heinroth emptied his revolver into his
assailants, while the body guard in the
meantime retired to the boats with the
wounded and Dr.. Heinroth, leaving twelve
dead. The boats put off TO an island not
far distant, where the expeditionary vessel
rescued them Subsequently the surveyors
returned TO the Island of st. Matthias,
where they found that the bodies had been
devoured and the camp absolutely looted.

NO DOUBLE TARIFF.
MaximaI and MinimaI Duties Aban-
doned by Germans.

BERLIN, June Gas one of the results
of the tariff convocation, Prussia and a
number Of the larger German states have
abandoned the idea of the so-called double
tariff. that is TO say, maximal and mini
NAL, which commercial circles considered
the main obstacle in concluding new and
mutually satisfactory commercial treaties.
United States Ambassador White at
taches great Importance to the news that
some OF the principal German states will
drop the double tariff. as he believes this
will make the negotiation of the CONNER
cial treaty between Germany and the
United States much more likely.
The Foreign Office informed representa-
tive of the Associated Press that the ne
gotiations regarding the treaty have not
been suspended, although not much is be-
ing done in connection with them. 1.-THE
tendency here" said a high Foreign Of
fice official, is to wait to see what the
United States will do toward reducing their
tariff in accordance with recent utterances
of President Mckinley and Secretary Gage,
which have not damaged. but have greatly
improved the prospects Of the treaty"

WASHINGTON. Ind. June e.-The con-
solidation Of she bituminous coal companies
of Indiana. numbering about ninety. and
operating l2s mines. is now assured The
representative OF the trust. John 5. Bays.
of Sullivan. closed contracts with the
Washington operators to-day. and the fvs
large mines in this section will become a
part of the trusts property. .
The business of the trust will be con-
quoted under the name of the Consolidated
Coal Company of Indiana. The capital
stock is slO.oooooo 1t is given out by the
promoters that the purpose of the CONSOLE
dation is in no sense TO close out the
smaller operators, but TO better control
and manage the soft-coal interests in this
State All operators who have mines of
any Importance will be made a proposition
and cash will be paid for all property. No
company will be required TO take stock in
the trust.
The work of capitalizing the company
was completed a week ago. Several Chi
cago and Indianapolis capitalists are be-
hind the organization. 1t is averred that
the Indiana field, for many years. has been
greatly damaged by competition; that
there has been a growing demand for a
more systematic management and market
ing of products of bituminous mines. The
constant losses of operators led to cis-
cussion of a general or central organiza-
ton, and at a recent meeting of several
operators the initial steps were taken TO
consolidate. The work is practically COM
pleted, since Washington operators have
come into the agreement.

LONDON, June Ga special meeting Of
the London District Railway to-day sane
toned Charles T. Yerkes's plan for the
introduction of electricity as the motive
power of the road. j. 5. Forbes, the pres
ident, said the work would occupy two
years.
Yes" said Mr.. Yerkes. when interviewed
tonight, I'VE have practically got control
of the London underground railway. That
is what it amounts 20 My syndicate is
composed of both British and American
financiers. although far the largest pro-
portion of the capital comes from the
United States. We hope to begin work
in a few months. as soon as the necessary
consent of Parliament has been obtained.
The system we intend TO install is al
most exactly similar to that in use OF the
elevated lines in Chicago. We will sell the
present antiquated cars and substitute
those of American pattern. We intend to
rebuild the stations to install arc lights
and TO make the road equal to any rapid
transit line in the world.
Yes, we must have American engineers
to do the work. They know nothing about
that sort of thing here. l tell you what.
the trouble with the English concerns is
tndt tney uOn KNOW the value OF a scrap
heap.
''As 10 the agitation about the United
States buying up England, it is absurd.
Years ago British capital controlled the
bulk of the American railroads. Since then
Great Britain has been on the decline, and
the United States has progressed. As "A
natural result. the circumstances are now
reversed.
when l first proposed to take over
the underground railway. the English COM
pany raised all sorts of objections, but
gradually they came round, and they now
appear 10 be perfectly satisfied with the
bargain"
After declining to say whether he con-
templated buying up other roads, Mr..
Yerkes concluded with a declaration that
the remodeled underground railway would
be far superior 10 the existing London
tube" THE people who built that" said
he. knew nothing except how to dig holes.
Everything else is wrong"
Robert w. Perks, NJ. p, solicitor for the
company. during the course of the meeting
to-day urged the Importance of Fastening
the plans of Mr.. Yerkes. giving as reason
that an American millionaire was inter
ested in a project 10 construct an entirely
new electric road from the city TO Picca-
dilly. The Daily Mail Will say tomorrow
that il understands the millionaire re-
ferre6 10 is j. Pierpont Morgan.
The remodeling of the district railway
is welcome 10 Londoners that little or
nothing is heard of jealousy of American
and the Daily News says, better by
American agency than not at all.

PROPOSED CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
1t VIII BE Directed for the Present
by the Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The new civil
government TO be established in the Philip
pines is receiving consideration of the
President and the secretary OF war. IL
will differ very little from what was first
intended as there will be a Governor Tor
the archipelago and a legislative council
and other officers. This government will
have control of all civil affairs, but il will
be under the war power, TO the extent Of
being directed by the secretary OF war.
There will be a nice distinction as 10 the
authority OF the general commanding the
troops in the Philippines and the Governor
to be appointed under the civil government.
No official declaration has been made as
TO which will be the supreme authority,
but IL Is known that the secretary or war
will be supreme. While ii is not the inten-
ton to conduct the government of the Phil
ippines under the Spooner law, that law

done. The new government will be similar

lowing statement:
''The reports that are being sent out from
Hartford City that large amount OF nat
