4NFRIOANs NOT TOOLS.
London Times Declares the Facts Are
 Known Regarding Recent War.

1 London, Jan. 24-The Times says in
 an editorial, that the eagerness of the semi official press of the continent to l discredit Lord Cranborne's statement | seems likely to defeat itself. 1 The Americans says the Times, ! with their usual good sense are not | disposed to bear permanent grudge against the governments and the peo- | ples who misjudged the situation and espoused the losing cause in the Span ish-American war. They are quite ready to be frneds, but they know the facts and do not care to be taken for fools
 There is only one way in which the
 statement of Lord Cranborne can be impunged That is by the production of the official correspondence. M, Ha- notaux, French minister of foreign affairs is said to be anxious for this course and Great Britain would be equally ready to publish the corre- spondence but cannot do so without the sanction of the other powers con- cerned Consequently, Lord Cranborne was not able to promise the documents on this subject.
 The attempts abroad to discredit Lord Gran borne's statement. says this editorial leaves trans Atlantic readers incredulous and not unamused, Until evidence to the contrary be forthcom- ing, the American public seems likely to remain convinced that Great Britain alone showed practical and effective friendship to their country in the day of her trial
 We do not pretend that England was actuated wholly by sentiment" says the Times. "Our interests were on the side of America and we had sagacity enough to understand that this was the case. At the same time sentiment en- tered largely into our motives We were honestly glad to do the United States service at a critical time, They have already recognized that, and will recognize it still more when the details of the negotiations come to be known

STE1MSHIP COMBIN47fOS.
Discussion of German Papers on the
 Proposed Deal.

Berlin, Jan. 23,-Various German newspapers discuss the trans Atlantic steamship combination. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung in an editorial zroadside urges the government to buy up the German steamship lines. The paper believes that a majority of the mem bers of the reichstag would favor this project for the same reason which en- abled the late Prince Bismarck to na- tionallze the railroads of Germany. The unlimited capital behind the trans-At lantic Steamship combination, the Tages Zeitung says, would force the German lines to make very favorable terms and ultimately surrender their control. This would result in facilitating the inn ports of American goods into Germany, to the detriment of German manufac- turers.
 The Tages Zeitung estimates that the two German steamship lines could be acquired for PIE, 1000 marks.

London, Jan. 24.-The Times, in ar
 editorial on the sugar question, admits that more comprehensive ideas on the question of free trade versus protection are obtaining & foothold in England and that the necessity for funds for carry ing on the war is assisting thereto The paper says it would be well for foreign governments to take account of the growth of these broader ideas and that it is also certain that the colonies are now taking a larger place in the imperi- al concerns than ever before They have a direct interest in the sugar question, says the Times, and their le- gitimate claims will in the long run re- ceive consideration in the fiscal ar engagements of the imperial govern ment

Washington, Jan 29,-Emperor Will
 liam of Germany has approved the
 plans of the committee of arrange
 ments for the reception of Prince Hen ry as far as they go. He has left the arrangements of the details of the gen. eral plan to the committee and to- day the members are at work on these, par ticularly upon the contracts to be made with the railroad agents for the run ming of the special train which will be engaged by the government for the journey of the prince. This train will be made up of six cars of the finest de- scription and one will be set apart for the exclusive accommodation of the prince The press will be cared for as far as the limited space will permit.
 The plans contemplate taking the distinguished visitor as far into the south as Chattanooga, as far west as St. Louis and as far north of Wilwau- kee on one side, and Boston on the other The price will arrive on Satur- day and will quietly spent his first Sun day in America in New York, paying a visit to Grants tomb, in Riverside Park. He will leave after midnight, arriving in Washington about 10:30 on Monday morning.

In this l way the committee has obviated the | necessity of his travelling on Sunday

Jackson, secretary of the American embassy at Berlin has been referred to Dr. von Holleben, the German ambassador at Washington by the prince, as have all other invitations received direct.

Ger many's ambition is exclusively econom- ical. The Boersen Zeitung says that the excessive zeal of German colonial enthusiasts for the colonization of Bra gil has done much damage by awaken ing suspicious against Germany

THE TRISH QUESTION.
Secretary Wyndhsm Declares No Gov
 ernmenf Expects tO Settle 1t.

London, Jan. 25.--Tn the House of Commons to-day after severe arraign- ment by Mir. Redmond, Irish national ist, MT. Wyndham the home secretary for Ireland, declared that no govern ment expected to settle the Irish ques- ton, but only hoped to do a little to- ward improving it and that the land act of 1881 was too drastic a measure, having produced litigious war, which had ruined many people. The chief secretary for Ireland said that the strongest argument against introducing compulsion into the purchase and sale of land was that such action would provoke every landlord and every ten ant to fight from court to court on ev- cry disputable point. He stated his conviction that the power of the United Irish league was declining, that it had only seventy-fo four branches and that it was having prejudicial effect upon economies The present agitation, MT. Wyndham continued, was the work of a few determined persons, and no man take such steps as were open to him to suppress this wertched form of bull lying the government, MT Wyndham said he was determined, while dealing justly with Ireland to fight for liberty and the protection of property.
 At the close of MT, Wyndham's re- marks the house adjourned.

wfdew of Ex-Hresident Expects to Pro
 vide for Her Daughter.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2s.-Friends ex-President Harrison, have had their attention called to statements published in several papers to the effect that she asked those in charge of the movement to secure a pension for her, not to pre- sent the bill to congress. Mrs. Harri- son was asked at her home here to- night whether she had requested that the bill should not be presented. She said:
 No, I have made no such request at any time. I have supposed that con- gress would accord the same recogni- tion of ex- President Harrison's ser vices by granting to his widow a pen sion, as have been granted to those of other presidents. My desire to give my daughter the same advantages she would have enjoyed had her father lived is my chief thought in the mat ter"
 Mrs. Harrison was asked if ii were true, as had been published, that she i now enjoying an income of $10,000 a year She expressed surprise that such statement should have been pub lished, saying her income was nothing approaching that amount.
 The movement for the presentation of bill for a pension for Mrs Harri- son is in the hands of Senator Fair banks and Mrs. Harrison's intimate friends here will urge that congress be given the opportunity to take action on the bill
