even proffer friendly advice under the
actual circumstances to the United
States would be construed, perhaps
Justly, by the Washington Cabinet as
threat that would greatly excite
public feeling in the United States and
have an effect exactly the opposite to
what was desired. This refusal Of
Russia convinced the Queen Regent
and Senior Gullon that there was no
hope of any further efforts to interest
the Powers in behalf of Spain: and
from that date all the attempts of
Spanish diplomacy in that direction
were abandoned, for, even the platonic
visit to the White House of the rep
resentatives Of six European powers,
on April s. was not brought about at
the instigation of Spain. 1t will be
noted that Count Muravieff's reply to
the Spanish Ambassador was on March
u, many days before the views of the
British Cabinet We're known, and over
fortnight previous to Mr.. Chamber
lain's famous speech. which was not
made until after the destruction of the
Spanish fleet at Manila, by Dewey"
The German foreign office saws that
Germany. neither before the outbreak
Of the Spanish war nor dur
ing it's course, proposed intervention to
other powers. Neither did Germany
support such a proposition made by
other powers. But the German govern
ment maintained negative attitude
toward such suggestions, and made
known it's negative standpoint When
ever occasion offered.
Now. that the question has come up
again, we hope the European powers
will publish to the world the true facts
in the case. When everything is
known it will appear that the Euro
pcan nations had no design in bouncing
on the United States, and that Great
Britain has been claiming credit for
what she is not entitled to.

In Donahoe's Magazine for January.
William Hopkins points out that this
has been great year for Irish Catholic
Mayors in Massachusetts. First and
most notable Of all is Patrick A. Col

jority Of over 1S,OOO-the largest ma
jority ever given to a mayoralty can
didate in the New England metropolis.
But General Collins is not the only case
in point. Cambridge, Boston's neigh
Dor across the Charles river, has elect
ed Il mayor of the same faith and race

ancient city of Salem. whose chief
magistrate for the present year is John
f. Hurley, Of whom an interesting

Ireland is the happiest country on
earth. The st. Paul Dispatch cores
pondent, referred to last week in these
columns, says Ireland is the freest
country in the world and that England
and the United States are behind it
in liberty of speech and liberty of the
press. The London correspondent Of
the New York Times "a pro-British Or
gam declares that ireland has been
lately the most prosperous and progress
sive section OF the United Kingdom
and then goes on rs follows:
freshmen who do not NEEDLE in pol
tiles and do not fight 1andlordism,
whatever their private and political
sentiments may be, have been tilling
the few good acres to excellent advant-
age, and manufactures and other in
dustres have experienced notable
awakening. MI. Wyndham has de-
clared definitely that no compulsory
land bill will be passed by the present
government, but the session is likely
to see the usual amount of legislation
aimed at the national evil q mean
landlordism, not rum,) and witness the
usual obstacles put in it's way by the
Nationalist, who would probably op-
pose the wisest legislation to better
Ireland in the same way in their in
fatuation with their scheme to bully
home rule out of England
There is conspiracy of lying against
Ireland in the American daily press
and yet men of the Irish race take
no steps to counteract it. Were they
as active as the Britishers the cause
of Ireland would be better understood
in this country. 1t is ti1ne for them
to waken from their lethargy and de-
fend their own good names from de-
famation and SANDER.

Pen Picture of Roosevelt.

A. P. Wilder, editor Of the Wis
consin State Journal, lunched with
| President Roosevelt recently and
wrote racy account of the incident
for his paper, including the following
impressions of Mr.. Roosevelt's person
atty:
1t is a strong, square, honest face
that Roosevelt carries on sturdy
neck. You can duplicate the strength
in the prize ring and i'll men you know
who hustle heavy iron work. 1t is the
refinement Of culture, the sense of con-
troll, the delicacy of aspiration that give
| Roosevelt's face distinctive finish.
This would be great light in the edu-
cational darkness if American boys
could be fired with zeal for the
strength Of an OK, the determination of
brute Corbett, the vitality Of red
FLOODED animal, then to curb the raw
thing with the bit of splendid con-
troll, to polish it with study, to make it
beautiful with clean thoughts and to
enrich it with sympathy and love of
men. Roosevelt gave me this impress
sion of type-man. No doubt his sue
cess and title contributed to the
thought; but the world has been talk
ing so much of strength commingled
With gentleness-of the bravest being
the tenderest, that it occurred to me
we'll set up the ideal and see how
long before it tumbles.
Roosevelt's face is shifting canvas
OF emotions, the eyes and teeth play q
part, and sometimes the muscles cut
awkward pranks as he reaches after
the right word, but there are no cruel
lines in 1t as in some soldiers, and
sympathy turks ready for a spring to
the rescue.
The mans vitality is ever at play
Whether the constant action has in
it bit of study, know not-but If
so, it is pardonable for the same rea-
son that some men look cheerful, even
If they don't feel ito spread the
contagion. Roosevelt is all action.
His handshake, his eyes, his person
ality, are alive with conserved man
hood. He is probably the frankest
of Americans. In him is no indirec-
tion. From beginning to end the presi-
den sparkled and told stories and
made the rooms ring with his laughter.
1t is remarkable personality. It is
sane and wholesome and gives one a
comfortable feeling to know the gov
eminent is headed by one who deals
with men and events nthe open. His
frankness is appalling. But such
openness carries its own correction,
The electorate says Of the impetuous,
fervid Roosevelt, as lovers say with
press Of the hand, 1--WE understand"

vindictiveness never equaled in metro

viled public men and private citizens.
Animated by pique or wounded vanity,
he murdered regulations with the reck,
lessness and vulgar vainglory Of a high
wayman." He permitted VIM. e. Cur
tbs to SANDER the archbishop of New
Orleans and never published the reply
of that prelate in vindication of his
character. Journalism is well rid of
such a scalawag.

DID ENGLAND HOLD THEM RAcka

| The Anglo-SaXon spouters in both
hemispheres have tried hard to con-
vince the world during the past three
years that at the outbreak of the Span-
lsll-American war, there was only one
great power that stood behind the
United States to keep the other Euro
pean nations from coming to the res
cue Of the under dog in the fight. That
magnanimous power was Great Brit
ain. 1t has been repeated so often
by Anglo-American speakers and writ
ers that many persons now believe
that Great Britain intimidated the
powers from Interfering with her for
midable navy.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador at Washington, deemed it his
duty, in the interest of historic truth,
to deny that the powers favored Spain
or were opposed to the United States.
Only recently, NJ. Hanotaux, the French
Minister of foreign affairs, declared
that coalition of the powers was
suggested by Austria in the interest Of
peace, and that France and England
were willing to act as mediators pro-
vlded the other powers would Join
them. He said that Russia would
not join the coalition under any con-
sideration.
The other day in the British parlia-
ment Lord Cranbornc said that i'm
mediately before the outbreak of the
war between the United States and
Spain several communications were
received by the British government
from other powers suggesting the pre-.
sentation Of joint note to President
Mckinley. England agreed to ioin
IN note expressing the hope that fur
Their negotiations might lead to peace
full settlement, accompanied by salts
factory guarantees for America. but
the Foreign office first took steps to
ascertain whether the presentation Of
such note would be acceptable to the
President. Lord Cranborne added
that the British government declined
to associate itself with other and sub
sequent proposals which seemed open
to the objection of putting pressure on
the American government. He, how
ever, refused to say by what power or
powers the later. proposals were made.
and declined to publish any papers on
the subject.
Another British official supports the
statement of the Under Secretary for
Foreign Affairs by saying that though
there was no documentary evidence
to prove that any power but Austria
asked England's intervention, vet he
had every reason to believe that
France, Germany and Russia were be-
hind her at the time. Russia certain
~ was not, If Count Cassini and NJ.
Hanotaux are to be believed, and their
word Is as good, at least. as that of
any Englishman. The Frenchman
says of it:
"On March q, 1898, Count Mura.
vieff, the Russian Minister of Foreign
Affairs. in reply to the strenuous ap-
peals Of the Spanish Ambassador at
st. Petersburg, Count villagonzaic,

At the opening Of the British parlia-
