MORE UNPOPULAR EVERY DAY.
The British Pepole Don't Like the
AngIo-German Alliance.

New York, Jan. 26.-The Anglo
German alliance becomes more un-
popular every day, according 10 a dis
patch from London to the Tribune.
Rightly or wrongly, the feeling Is
growing that the Berlin government
is doing its best to involve England
in a quarrel with America. 1t il diff
ficult to say what viii be the out
come of the San Carlos incident.
Henry Norman, who is one Of the
ablest critics of foreign affairs in the
house Of commons. points out that
although the Monroe doctrine has
been formally recognized by Great
Britain, it has not been recognized
by Germany, and as nobody who fol-
lows German opinion closely doubts
for q moment that misunderstand-
ing between this country and Amer
lea would be very far from being a
matter for sorrow in Germany, II
was masterstroke of diplomacy for
the kaiser to inveigIe the British
government into this alliance for
joint action within the sphere Of the
Monroe doctrine.

Sitting on the case of Phil A. Rush,
charged with embezzling 100000
from the State treasury. The jury
#fled into the room and the sealed
[xerdict was handed to the deputy
|,lerk. who was directed to open it
|and read the same. A hush as still
las death permeated the court room,
land in clear tones the clerk read the
[rords at the beginning of this para
|yraph. There was no demonstra-
|tion of any sort in the court room.
|Mr Rush was tried on the seventh
|count in the indictment, which
charged embezzlement of the States
funds. There are seven other counts
lin the indictment, and the question
(which was naturally asked on all
|sides was whether there was to be
another trial Of Mr.. Rush on the 9TH
Ter counts. R. n. Miller, of Halle
hurst, took the position that the ac-
|ouittal of Rush on the seventh count
|acquits him of the others, according
Ito the rulings and the record of the
|court. as he views them. Mr.. Miller
Twas, of course, much elated at the
action of the jury, and said that he
thought it was rebuke to the prose-
cution in trying to make Rush a
scapegoat. District Attorney
Greaves was asked as to his future
course in the case. He said he did
not care to state whether Rush would
be tried on any of the other counts of
the indictment or not. 1t was some
thing that he had never thought
about, and he must, therefore, de-
cline to discuss the matter for publ
cation.
