That is What is Said
About Edwards
Illness
TO AVOID ASSASSINS
In Order to Keep Him
Safe, Excuse is Made,
Says Rumor.

London, June 1S.-A sensational
story was current in London of the
discovery of Il plot TO assasSinate
King Edward. This story created con-
siderable discussion in newspaper and
other circles, but it was lacking in
anything like official confirmation. Ac-
cOrding to the current report King
Edwards sudden illness at AlderShOt
was not due to cold, but was merely
an excuse for Withdrawing his mai
esty from public functions. owing to
the discovery by Scotland Yard of n
plot against his life. The principals
in this plot have not yet been arrested.
Two Ways of Viewing 1t.
1t is cited in confirmation of this
story that King Edwards recovery
when he was ensconced at Windsor
castle was as complete and speedy as
his attack had been sudden. On the
other hand it must be pointed out
that if his majesty's Illness was mere
ly diplomatic the officials certainly
took a great deal of trouble i'll keep
ing up the fiction. Sir Francis LAX
ing. physician in ordinary to the king.
was summoned by telegraph to Alder
shot; his prescriptions were hurriedly
filled. and everything about the, kings
ture of his illness.
Scotland Yard VIII Not Talk.
Furthermore, King Edwards jour
ney from AldershOt To Windsor in his
motor car, and his subsequent drive
yesterday in Windsor park, do not
seem to indicate any fear of further
attack upon his person. At Scotland
Yard the utmost reticencc was main
tained concerning these rumors. 1t
was noticeable, however. that the
chief inspectors. who usually return
home at night. were all on duty there,
and while they refused TO see news
paper reporters they declined either to
deny or confirm the rumor.

DEGREE FOR CLEVELAND

Roman Catholic College Gives Him a
Unique Honor.
Philadelphia. June 1S.-For the first
time in the United States the honorary
5egrec of doctor of Jurisprudence was
conferred yesterday at the Augustin-
ian college of st. Thomas OF Nillanova.
The recipient was eX-President Clevc-
land, who had already had the degree
of Ii. ID. conferred by the Princeton
university. The ceremony of confer
ring the degree upon Cleveland was
part of the commencement exercises
of the O.lege, and followed the dedica-
ton of new monastery, college and
chapel
In his address after the comforting
of the degree Cleveland said, in part:
This incident prominently suggests
TO my mind the imperious edict of
education. which forbidS the hindrance
OF disturbance OF it's high mission by
Il religious discrimination, social in
tolerance. or any of the barriers that
to Il greater or less extent separate
civilized humanity. Tire republic of
education is based upon identical aim,
equal rights i'm its opportunity. and i'm
partiality in the distribution of its re-
wards and honorS.
This, il seems to me. is impressive
ly illustrated when the severely Cath
olic college of st. Thomas of Nillanoya
bestows its highest honorary degree
upon one connected with the manage
ment and holding an honorary degree
in the severely Protestant Princeton
university.
The processes of education as they
exist in this country of ours haVc-or
always should have-in addition to
other chara especial har-
mony of purpose and design as they
are related TO our government, and
this should constitute between our
institutions of learning IL bond of
close fraternity. Whatever other OBJ
jectS and purposes may be involved in
educa tional efforts among us. one of
it's constant aiSl prominent aims should
be the cultivation and maintenance of
a high standard of American citizen
ship"

ADVICE OF LIBERAL
British Statesman's Remarks on
the Situation in the Pearl
of the Antilles.
WHAT IS DUE FROM UNCLE SAM
If He Would Not Have a Cuban Ire
land on His Hands in the
Very Near Future.

London. Inc 1S.-That the United
States will have an Ireland on its
hands if it does not liberalize its Gu
ban policy seems to be the practically
unanimous verdict of British observers
of President Roosevelt's endeaYOr to
induce congress TO recognize the eco
nOmic emergencies of the island
state. The Times and other ConSerVa-
tive organs heartily support the presi-
dents views. : frOnt-bench Liberal
said to correspondent: "Englishmen
would be delighted to see America
complete its magnificent services to its
neighbOring people by granting those
tariff concessions which are essential
to their prosperity. We believe such
course is not only morally binding ON
the United States but also calculated
to conserve its material interests.
Logical Effect of the War.
American statesmen and fighting
men have given Cuba political justice;
American legislators shOuldd give it
economic Justice. Unless this is done
the spIendor OF American achieve
ments across the straits of Florida is
certain to be dimmed and the moral
prestige of the republic sensibly les
Sened in the estimation of the world.
The United States has deprived Cuba
of Il preferential market i'll Spain and
of any market at all in America. 1t
would be Il tragic misfortune to leave
the islanders TO welter in business mis-
fortunes.
Refers Us to ireland.
LET the politicians of Washington
ponder the English policy in Ireland
and hesitate. This policy has placed
at our doorstep Il seething mass of en-
nifty and misery. 1t is true we deny
Ireland political as well as economic
justice, but the Americans responsible
for the handling of the Cuban prob
lem should remember that economic
disaster breeds popular suffering and
discomfort. then social disorder and
finally grave political complications"
