BRIT4IN,S TIMELY HELP.
More Comment on Her Friendshfp
 During tho Spanish Trouble.

] London, Jan. 25.-The London week l lies comment upon the statement of | Lord Cranborne, the under secretary | for foreign affairs, in the house of 1 commons January 20, with regard to I the alleged proposed European inter- vention in the Spanish American war. | They discredit the denials from the
 continent of attempts at interference, The Spectator thinks the denials of Germany are amusing, and it says that if Germany is so friendly to the United States, how does it account for the action of the German fleet in Manila bay? Why should not some American senator, who is friendly to Germany,
 asks the Spectator, call for the publi-
 cation of the full report of the trans
 actions at the period and so set the
 whole question of Germany's attitude
 finally at rest?
 The Spectator contends that no course other than the one taken was open to Great Britain, and that no government could have lasted a single day which tolerated permitting a foreign fleet to attack the United States, and although the Americans are less conscious of ra- cial solidarity than the British, it can not be doubted if Great Britain were attacked by European coalition tat the United State would immediately rally to the croy of hands off.
 The Spectator repudiates as an en- tire delusion the idea that Lord Gran borne's announcement was timed to damage the approaching visit to the United States of Prince Henry of Prus- sia,
 The Outlook, commenting similarly on this subject says that the very eva siveness and ingenuity of the denials from the continent add confirmation where none was needed. "We shall not be far wrong" says the Outlook, "in seeing a desire to obliterate the polit ical effects of that proposed action in Prince Henry's visit to the United States"

NEW LIGHT ON COMPETITION
STATEMENT THAT IT ADYANCES,
 NOT LOVERS RATES.
Testimony of James J. Hill, tho Rail- road Magnate, Before the Interstate Commerce COmmittee-Cftes the Re- Iations of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern as an ExampIe-Pur- chase of the Burlington a Necessity.

| h l Chicago, Jan 24.--James J. Hill, pres. l ident of the Northern Securities com
 pany and president of the Great North
 ern Railway, testified for three and quarter hours before the interstate
 commerce commission here to-day. Tn answer to questions bearing upon the effect of the community of interests s plan on rates he declared that competi- tion does not lower rates but on the contrary, advances them. He said that in the northwest, where the Northern
 Pacific and the Great Northern have been at peace for twenty years, where
 one road has agreed with the other on rates and maintained the agreements,
 rates were lower than in any other part
 of the country.
 In regard to the purchase of the Bur lington by the Northern Pacific and the
 Great Northern, MT. Hill declared that
 the purchase was a matter of necessity
 and was not due ito movement in
 line with the trust idea" He testified
 about the formation of the Northern
 Securities company and in doing so gave reason for it far more simple
 than has generally been conjectured.
 There are some old men-some very old men-interested in the manage ment of the Great Northern" said he. Two of them are over eighty and sev- eral over seventy years. They wanted to form close corporation into which they could confide their interests with the assurance that the road would be managed along the lines which have made it a success. It was to have taken over one third of the stock of the road. The plan seemed good one and then 1t was proposed to let all the stockholders in--not alone the few own CTS of the one e-third-but all of them. The plan met with approval and then 1t broadened into the idea of taking in the Northern Pacific also. The roads had worked in harmony for twenty years, and the change in the holder of the securities would make no differ ence"
 MT. Hill talked vigorously and earn estly. At the close of the session when Chairman Knapp offered to allow MT Hill to leave for New York if the latter felt that staying in Chicago would in- convenience him seriously MT. Hill de- clared that his time belonged to the commission and that he desired in ev- cry way to aid them to the extent of his ability. Chairman Knapp said thereupon that MT. Hill would be called | to the stand again tomorrow morning.

FOREIGN ADVISERS IN CHINA.
Downger Empress Considering Their
 Engagement.

PeSin Jan 24--The dowager empress
 and her councillors are seriously dis
 cussing the engagement of foreign ad-
 visors to reorganlze the government.
 Yuan Shi Kai, viceroy of Pe- Chilli is | the inspiration of the movement. He l will return to Pe-Tung-Fu tomorrow, | having devoted several days to impress i ing the importance of real reforms up- on the court and urging the necessity for the adoption of foreign measures as being the only practical measures. He memorialized the throne recommending the employment of eight foreigners of eminence in various branches of gov ernmental science and that they be at- tached to different boards.
 The scheme in it's present form, after having been discussed by the members of the council, is to engage six foreign CTS as authorities, respectively, on in- ternationa law and finance. and on mil itary, naval, parliamentary, domestic and governmental affairs.
 Yuan-S Shi- Kai and his followers are hopeful of practical results. They are taking Japan as their model. But any attempt to institute parliament of any sort would meet with tremendous oppo- sition from the Manchus.
 While the employment of foreign ad- visors is no new idea with the Chinese, in only exceptional instances has it pro- duced lasting results, because inferior men have often engaged to advise and have usually been only half-heartedly followed Yuan -Shi-Kai proposes to secure men of unquestioned abilities and clothe them with some real author ity If the court adopts the plan its out come will be watched with interest ed sl1eptcism, and lobbying by the pow CTS for representation among the coun- cllOrs will probably begin.
 Prince Ching. president of the Chi nese foreign office desires that his eld- l est son represent China at the corona ton of King Edward, and his appoint | ment as the Chinese special envoy is | expected.

TRIAL OF ATTORNEY PATRICK
FIFE WITNESSES HEARD FOR THE
 PROSECUTION.
for S25, ,OO0 Known as the "AIbert" Check Was Forgery-Patrtck Assist ing His Counscl-shows Little or No Feeling.

New York, Jan. 24.-~The trial of AL
 bert T. Patrick, charged with the mur-
 der of William Marsh Rice, developed
 nothing approaching novelty or sensa- | ton to-day. In all, five witnesses were
 on the stand for the prosecution. Of
 these, three, John H. Wallace, paying
 Erie B. Swenson, all of the banking
 house of $. M Swenson & Son, with
 whom Rice had an account, swore that
 in their opinion the check for s25, 900 known as the Albert check, because of a mistake in the spelling of Patrick s name, was a forgery. All of these wit 1 nesses were subjected to a searching cross examination, so close indeed that at the close of the days proceedings
 Recorder Golf announced that in future he would not allow needlessly volum- inous questions.
 Tn the case of Wallace, the defense succeeded in drawing from the witness
 the admission that he was unable to
 base his opinion as to the forgery upon any pdrllCuldI tedluie ol tue SlSIldluIe, further than that ''it did not look right" Weatherbee and Swenson were positive as to the forgery, but admit- ted that the check was certified, though the certificate was later can celled by MT. Swenson.
 Harold S. Achison, who at the time of the death of Mir Rice was New York correspondent for Texas news paper, was the next witness of the day. He told how he had received a notice of the death of Rice from Pat rick who told him the dead millionaire would be buried in Wisconsin. After wards when Achison learned that the body was to be cremated he called up- on Patrick for an explanation. Patrick told him that he did not differentiate between the body and the ashes and that the ashes would be buried in Wis Consin.
 James w. Gtrard was the last wit ness of the day. He was still on the stand when adjournment was taken. He testified to conversations with Pat rick on the day when the check was presented, representing himself as com ing from the banking firm of Swenson x Son. Patrick told Girard that the $25 ,000 was for his own (Patrick's) use and that he held will made by Rice in his favor Girard further testified that Patrick told him Rice had died as a result of eating too many bananas.
 During the day Patrick watched the case with the intensity that has mark ed his bearing throughout. He assists his counsel continuously and shows lit | tie or no feeling when the prosecution | makes points that would appear to be | against him.
 Assistant District Attorney Osborne. | who is leading the prosecution, is quot ad to- day as saying that he proposes to build his whole case without the as- 'istance of Charles F. Jones, and will only introduce the former wallet of Rice as the last witness for the prose- 'ution.

OPPOSES RAILROAD M hRGER.
Pro oclamation Issued by Governor
 McBrtde of Washington.

| Seattle. Wash, Jan. 24.-A special 1 from Olympia Wash, to the Times says: Governor Mcbride to-day issued proclamation opposing the railroad merger under the name of the North ern Securities company. Governor Me Bride declares that the community of 1 interest in the operation of railroads is dangerous because of the insecurity of the individuals making it up. Such community of interest, he says stiles competition, which is the only protec- tiOn in this state against ra lroads The governor declares that the people should prepare to enforce their rights. The state, he says, should appoint a rail road commission for the protection both of civic rights and of railroad prop erty.
 The proclamation states that the peo- pie should act for their protection, whether the present suit in Minnesota shall stand or fall. The proclamation continues:
 Suppose the injunction prayed for should b granted, is the danger at an end? If the same parties own or con trol majority of the stock of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific which is to prevent them from throttling all competition? The destruction of the Northern Securities company, if that can be accomplished, would be a step in the right direction, but would not, in my judgment, be a complete cure for the threatened evil"
 The governor recommends a bi-par- tisan commission of three members, who will protect the people and yet not injure the property of the roads.
