Salisbury's Advisers Not i'm Harmony
on the Tax Question.

LONDON. April 25.-The date of Lord
Salisbury's return TO London. from the
Riviera, is still problematical. and the rum
ors of Cabinet trouble over the budget are
assuming great consistency in the Hobbies
of Parliament According TO the Daily
Mail. the framing of the budget caused
much discussion. Mr.. Chamberlain, the
colonial secretary. wanted the whole cost
of the war raised on the credit of TIE South
African colonies and had schemes of his
own for providing the interest of the loan
and increase OF the normal expenditure. To
these schemes. however. with the exception
of the coal duty. Sir Michael Hicks Beach
turned a deaf ear; and, on being pressed
he offered 10 resign. Mr.. Chamberlain. ac-
cording TO the Daily Mail. favored the res
ignation. but Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Bal
four strongly opposed IL. Now II Is said
that, although Sir Michael Hicks-Beach did

LONDON. April 2s.-J X Merrinan, the
is now a representative of the Afrikander
bund in England, speaking at a meeting
of the League of Liberals to-day against
aggression and militarism said military law,
the abnegation of all law, was established
in Cape Colony The newspapers had not
heard of the treachery and espionage GO
ing on. Respectable people were commit
ted on the evidence of natives alone. They
were brought up and fined for harmless
observations called seditious, and the town
ated greater irritation and indignation
than actual violence. The press was delib-
erately stopped and four editors had been
sent to Jail. The fruits of this policy would
be bitter. as the memory of these insults
burned the hearts of the people.
Mr.. Merriman detailed instances of the
punishment of the Dutch under military
law, usually on the testimony Of natives
and employees. He mentioned an instance
of cheeky girl being fined for saying
things against the town guards. Martial
law and the censorship throughout
Cape Colony prevented the people of Eng
land from knowing the hardships of the

Colony with the blacklist dismay. If per-

British empire. The only thing that could
save it was recognition that the people

commissioner OF public works Of Cape Col

women and children were kept were guard

been placed in them against their will.
Their homes had been burned and their
possessions had been taken. He had asked

RightfuI Heir to the Throne of Servia
May BE in America.

KANSAS CITY, April 24-Eugene
Schuyler. a former attache of the United
States embassy at Constantinople. but now
a well-known New York attorney, was here
to-day on his way to Dodge City, Kan,
where he hopes to find Andree Boyne de
Lasar. the rightful heir to the throne Of
Servia, according TO Mr.. Schuyler's state
ment. August Boyne. father of Andree
Boyne de Lasar, came to the United States
ir 1913 and engaged in farming in Mime
sofa. Several years ago he left his wife and
three sons and returned to Servia to perfect
his royal claim. His family never heard of
him again, and subsequent developments
tend to prove that he died in Servia. Mr..
Schuyler says that he has traced the family
to farm near Dodge City. Kan. and that
the right of the oldest son to the Servian
throne cannot be disputed.

his power TO prevent the establishment Of

chandise in any part OF the United States to
any other part OF this country or Canada

be assured that his facts are errors !
Great Scott, what genius to write a
textbook for the United States Naval
Academy No wonder dear old daddy
Dewey refused 10 read the proofs Of this
man Macleay's book. This man Macleay
is some kind of a college dude who
through political pull got into the em-
ploy of the navy department as a
laborer, or at least that is the only way
he could get onto the payrolls. Only
this kind Of cheap hand could'be got to
carry on the bitter and indecent fight that
little clique in the Navy have been
putting up against Schley, while
that official was sent away on onerous
duties on the coast of Africa. Macleay
is as great liar in what he says about
Scbley as he was about Secretary Long
reading the proofs about his book, for
he now admits Long g.only read what re-
fers TO himself. That be is in the mar
row and smsll-souled pueh of knockers
headed by Sampson and Orowninshield
is evidence that he is not a gentleman.
Az for Sampson he has pretty nearly
established the reputation of being an
unfit man TO hold a high position in the
Navy or elsewhere. His honors seem
to have made him a man-monkey,
abusive, arrogant and dictatorial, unfit
to have charge Of a country skating rink,
much lees a squadron. While the news.
papers and magazines, and even text
books IL seems, have been employed to
boost Sampson and degrade Schley, this
latter official has been performing his
duties uncomplainingly, a gentlemsnly
victim of broadsides from hired type
writer's while he was off at sea where he
could not reply il he wanted TO. II is
to be regretted that the Navy is dis
graced by such performances in times OF
peace when it won such glory in time Of
war, but it is to be hoped that Schley
will come, face his brsssy accusers who
have just about discredited themselves,
and turn on such stream Of light
that the public will have no further
difficulty in determining who was the
real hero Of the brilliant naval demon
stration at Santiago.
