LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The editorial in the
Times to-day on the South African situa-
ton reflects the cold tit which has followed
the optimistic hopes as TO the effect of Lord
Kitcheners proclamation. Commenting on
the meager news from the front. the Times
says: at is quite clear that If we want an
end of the war we must strike hard and
often. Proclamations and blockhouses are
all very we'll and may be useful, but the eX-
perience OF the Spaniards has shown that
the most sonorous proclamation Is OF with

horses Everything depends upon vigor and
persistence i'm pushing the Beers I'm the

the warm season which soon begins?'

South Side tonight. In his speech he un-
dertook to refute the charge that the

contracts with constituent companies of the
United States Steel Corporation. THE
Amalgamated Association has not broken
it's contract and cannot afford TO do so.
Such charges are as malicious as they are
false" declared Mr.. Shaffer. 1T is true"
said he. that some scales were signed this
year. but they were signed by the COM
panies upon the condition that other COM

The other companies did not sign. he said,

Circulation Statement.
The Canal Question

The text Of an article which will ap-
pear in the London Spectator tomor-
row has been cabled to this country.
The subject of It Is the Nicaragua Ca
nal The Spectator trusts that the
Government will display more sense
and shrewdness in its future handling
of the problem than it did formerly It
asserts that Great Britain holds all the
diplomatic cards in the game. and can
easily permit the American Congress to
abrogate the CIayton-BUIweT Treaty
and thus place the United States in the
wrong with the result of a diplomatic
victory at every point
There is a good deal OF nonsense in
this. If Great Britain holds all
the diplomatic cards, it is news TO
US. What the Spectator probably
means Is that abrogatiOn of the Clay
ton-Bulwer Treaty would operate TO re
store the status quo ante. and 50 relieve
England from the prohibition in the
convention Of 1850 concerning the acqul-
sition of territory or occupation or the
exercise CT sovereignty in Central
America. A more rotten foundation
could not well be laid. That very pro
hibition was ruthIezsly and perhdiously
violated by the British in 1852. when in
defiance Of the plain letter of their
treaty obligation they set up the Crown
Colony of British Honduras. not be
cause of any right though one IS pre-
tended on the basis of an unofficial. and
as far as our man was concerned illegal
and void. ALLEGED understanding be

of a fierce civil war and were in no con
dition t. resent the ueachery. The stat
US quo ante would require that England
should get out Of Central America
where she has not now and never had
any business Probably this view Of
the matter has escaped the Spectator"
Other suggestions in the article are
less open to criticism For example, the
opinion is offered that it is to Great
Britain's interest to ignore the Sen
ate's i'll manners and 20 allow the Unit
ed States 10 construct the canal under
any financial and political conditions
she chooses, provided the canal be al
ways open to British shipping on tins
same terms as American shipping.
That strikes US as a sensible and
business-Iike proposition. If the Brit
ish Government would adopt it an

its former double dealing and dishon-
esty. TIE canal question could be easily

ed by the royal bureau Of electric rail-
ways concerning the traffic of the Saxon
electric roads during 1870 give a very com
prehensive survey. According to these
returns. the traffic has increased very
considerably over that Of last year, as a
consequence Of the opening of many new
lines in the larger cities. About the 1st
Of October, 1890, a new company called
the Leipzig Suburban Railroad Company
opened uD one Of its first lines to the
public. The number of persons injured
has increased in proportion TO the increase
IN traffic The serious and fatal accidents,
which are included. under one head. have
increased from 81 to SO for each million
persons carried. Naturally. most of the
accidents were the fault of the injured
themselves. especially in case Of persons
jumping on and off cars while in motion

THE LONDON SALMON MARKET.
Light Demand Only Reported by
the American Consul General.

William NJ Osborne. the United States
Consul General at London, has written to
the State Department concerning the dc
mand for salmon at the English metrop-
oils. He says the demand is not large, as
the people do not care very much for any
thing frozen. Liverpool and North Coun-
try markets do a much larger business in
frozen salmon than this city" the Consul
General adds The salmon realizes from
5 to z cents per pound wholesale in Lon
don. 1t is sent to England principally
from Canada Each fish is frozen and
wrapped IN paper: they are then packed
in cases and brought to London in the
ships refrigerators. On arrival, the cases
are placed in refrigeratOrs on a charge Of
a certain sum per month. being taken out
daily for sale, according to demand. The
daily sale of frozen salmon in London
does not average ten cases in all.
''FTcsh-not frOzen-salmon has been
sent from Norway to England for several
