Choate Anxious to Cut Short Patri-
nfic DEMONSTRATION.

The Fourth of July banquet of the
American Society in London was given
at the Hotel Cecil Friday night.
There was a remarkable manifesto
ton of sympathy for King Edward
in his illness, and at the same time
open expressions of displeasure with
u Joseph III. Choate, the United States
ambassador. Between 400 and 500
Americans were present at the ban
quet, and the specially invited guests
included General Sir Francis Grenfell,
the governor of Malta; Sir John Cor
don Sprigg, prime minister of Cape
Colony; Sir Robert Bond. the premier
of Newfoundland; General Joseph
Wheeler and the United States CON
sui general in London, III. Clay Evans.
The dinner was expedited in order

to enable Mr.. Choate,s Henry. White,
secretary of the American erfIbas ssV
and the colonial officials to attend
the reception at the Indian office.
Having eloquently toasted King Ed
ward, Mr. Choate announced that in
consequence of his majesty's grave
condition the other usual toasts, with
the exception of one TO the president
of the United States, would be omit
ted and that there would be no
speechmaking. Sir Francis Grenfell
proposed the health of President
Roosevelt. After this toast was
drunk, Mr.. Choate, Mr.. White. Sir
Francis and the other colonial officials
hurried away To don their court dress
to meet the Prince of Wales at the
Indian office. The other guests of
the society remained and in spite of
Mr.. Choate's announcement, there
ensued an unusually bright series of
speeches, which were punctuated by
openly expressed dissatisfaction with
the absence of the American ambas
sador and his action i'm discounte
nancing the speeches.
This dissatisfaction was voiced by
Ex-Governor Hastings of Pennsyl-
vania. who said that he quite dis
agreed with Mr.. Choate. Mr.. Hast
ings said he had only just arrived in
London from the United States, but
that before he departed all the coun-
try was rejoicing over the kings re-
covery and that, therefore. he
thought the night should be one of
rejoicing and of speeches to voice that
feeling. This remark was greeted
with loud cheers, in which the Am
erican diplomats who had remained
and all the consular representatives
present heartily joined.
Mr.. Choate had opened the cere-
monies by reading the last bulletin
concerning the condition of the king.
1t was received with cheers.
The ends of the world said the
ambassador. "have been brought very
close together these last few days.
King Edwards health occupies the
tender. serious and affectionate re-
gard of the civilized worldA Never
has there been and never could there
be a more pathetic historical occur
renee than the kings illness. The
peace which was so anNiouSly
looked for had come at last; the
capital had been transformed into 4
theatre i'm which millions of people
might behold the most wonderful
pageant of modern times. and all
mankind was ON tip-toe of eNpecta-
tion. when suddenly, like a bolt from
clear blue sky. the center of these
festivities had to exchange the glory
and brightness of the coronation for
weeks of illness. 8 r-
NO wonder all hearts were pros
trated and that every note of pre-
paration ceased. Now, when hope
has revived. we are all somewhat
chastened by the brief but startling
experience. Anxiety still mingles
with hope, and speeches on this oc-
casion would he suitably omitted"
But the ambassadors suggestion,
especially when il was realized that
he was anxious To hurry away To join
in a demonstration at the house, of
the royal family. did not find a re
sponsi.e chord in the hearts of those
present. Choate impressed his hear
ers, apparently, "a one more anxious
to participate in the royal festivities
than in joining i'm the celebration of
the greatest patriotic anniversary in
his country's history.

PERKINS, View of the Outlook in ILL.,


nois.
Nick Perrin has been down east
discussing the political situation in
Illinois. \ Washington paper says:
-. Nick Perrin, of Illinois, was in
the city and brought glowing reports
of the prospects for democratic sue
cess in that state. He insists that
the next United States senator from
Illinois will be democrat. Mr..
Perrin was a member of the recent
convention, and was a member of the
platform committee. His comments
ON the convention are to the effect
that it was a large body of repre-
sentative democrats, whose aim was
to secure harmony. and that, while
every individual member could not
hope to have his own way yet, after
the contentious that are incident to
every large gathering are over, a
united democracy will seize the OPP
portunity to meet the political oppo-
sition with arguments along the lines
of fundamental principles.
The official heads of the central
committee remain as selected two
years ago. Mr. Hopkins having been
Mounts as secretary.
Senator Stringer. an active young
democrat. presided over the delibera-
tions of the convention. while Jerry
Kane, a true type of the intelligence
of American labor, was the sergeant
alarms. Congressman Williams, one
of the old guard from Egypt and
stanch friend Of silver, was selected
as chairman of the committee on
platform.
while furnishing this resume of the
work of the convention. Mr.. Perrin
also made the following comment:
LIN Illinois we belong to no sec
tion nor faction. We belong to the
heart of the nation. We belong to
the union and the democracy. In
our platform we reiterate our adj
herence to all the fundamental prin-
ciples of democracy
How about the money question:
~'Well, the money question is in
cluded. II i a fundamental prin-
ciple. The constitution of the United
States provides for the coinage of
both gold and silver. We are "A con-
stitutiOnal party. When we declare
for ALI that is fundamental we en-
brace everything and overlook moth
ing. OF course, in view of pending
conditions, we emphasized our posi-
ton in favor of Legislative relief from
the evils of trust formations.
IAN 7 an original silver man? OF
course. MY loyalty to the United
States constitution makes me a BIZ
metallist.'
"'What about the question of our
new possessions?'
81 am glad that we have wise
and patriotic plank in our platform
on that subject. We do not scoId our
republican neighbors by calling them
imperialists. OF course, we differ
with their policy. but we declare in
favor of true American expansion,
such as. under democratic control,
has been achieved in the past, and by
means of which vast territories have
been dedicated forever to equality
and freedom And we express our
admiration for our soldier and sailor
boys. The greater part of the plat
form is devoted to state issues.
Taken as a whole, il is a model be-
yond criticism. The republicans are
bound to admit its force, and the
democrats are enthusiastic over il,
as it will restore that harmony which
will lead to democratic success. The
next United States senator from IL
Iinois Will be a democrat.

heavenly spheres and the actions and
lives of those living on those spheres.
Man is particularly susceptible to in
fractions of those laws and the usu-
al result is disease or injury or death.
1t is a law if you overeat that you
will suffer. 1t is n law that if you
fall down in front of a moving train
you will suffer. And all of the dis
eases that afflict mankind come from
the conscious or unconscious infrac-
ton of some one of the laws that
govern the universe. These diseases
may be hereditary or acquired. They
may be the result of law breaking

to go with her to the springhouse TO

concluding that they were ashamed and
