London, July 13 1 a. m-Lord Kitchener,s
short essay on the mischief caused by an exas-
eeretion of the Importance Of trivial incidents %
the campaign is characteristic but hardly
forcible reply TO the structures of the press on
official contradictions of essentially truthful dis
patches. His views respecting war correspond
ents are well known and his general idea that
a campaign of petty skrmishes should be min
mized so far possible meets with general an
proval but the public is entitled to know certain
things which have been suppressed by the mill
tary martinets. either from sheer caprice or
from political motives. The Daily Mail" has

The reported engagement of Lord Rosebery
ard the Duchess of Albany is not credited by his
intimate friends. and is dismissed in diplomatic
circles as an idle tale. Those who ordinarily have
his confidence decline to believe that he will
ever marry again. and disposed to regard
the rumor of royal alliance an invention
of Radicals eager 10 Danish him from the po-
litical stage.
Another rumor which also needs corroborative
evidence assigns to Lord Rosebery the role OF
peacemaker In South Africa 1t is asserted that
Mr. KrJger and the advisers in touch with him
in Holland have offered to negotiate peace with
Lord Rosebery, but not with either Mr.. Cham
berlain or Sir Alfred Milner. 1t is hardly
credible that Lord Salisbury will seriously
entertain proposals derogatory to the dignity OF
his own government Mr. Chamberlain and Sir
Alfred Miner are the only possible peacsmakers
on the British side

Charles Lilly White is endeavoring to induce
the American Government TO take up his case
for damages for arrest and seven months I'M
prisonment His papers show that. while he

went TO New-Zealand. where he was arrested
and sent TO Colchester q charge OF murder
and arson. He intends 10 return to New-Zea-
land now that his innocence has been estao-
nshed but hopes to hold the British authorities
responsible for this of mistaken identity, as
he lived in New-Zealand several years before
his arrest and deportation in irons. The bearings
NJ his American naturalization are uncertain.

The resolution of the Montreal Corn Exchange
that the Canadian Government should be asked
70 make commercial reprisals against Germany
has greatly excited German protectionists. They
characterize the resolution as an example of
extraordinary frankness on the part OF the COM
nnerciai body. The present state Of things by
which Canada IS excluded from the most favored
nation clause, brought about, they say. by
Canada allowing preferential duties on English
goods since that time There exists between
Germany and England only the most favored
nation clause on a basis OF reciprocity. Since
Canada offers no such reciprocity she is regard
ed ss havin no claim whatever to participate
IN the German most favored nation clause. The

action and II the Canadian Government yields,
