LORD Robertn, Wat Not Yetnon

London, July "a The statement ca.
bied 70 the United States to the effect
that the British cabinet had vetoed the
proposed visit Of Lord Roberts to the
United States Is as inaccurate as was
the original announcement that Lord
Roberts had definitely determined to
make the visit The truth is that the
whole matter has always been indefi-
mite. Lord Roberts has said and still
says that he will visit the United States
in the autumn if his duties viii permit.

teen nautical miles in diameter, and the absence of any ice so continuously thick as to defy all efforts by dfsruption-are entirely contradicted by all previous experience.
 Certainly on paper the scheme ap- pears remarkably plausible, but the in ventor's assumptions are by no means modest. Then in Arctic exploration, perhaps more than in any other field of geographical research, it is the unex- pected that happens. The "manometer'' certainly plays a most important part in this venture, but what if this won derful instrument faflsga Not Knowing its exact nature. speak of it with the greatest respect ignotum pro magnifico." Then again, what if the experts are wrong, and no ice less than eighty feet or so thick is found during this terrible six hours? The inventor calmly suggests finding his way back to the last breathing hole!
 Naval experts who know the extreme difficulty of exact steering even for a few hundred yards in submarine ves- sels, will probably consider that this supposition is a fatal flaw in the scheme. No doubt the inventor will find followers, for the fascination of arctic seas is notorious; but should the project be actually set on foot prefer not to let the imagination dwell on the awful picture of Herr Kanpfe and his devoted followers burroWing under a field of ice of unknown thickness, after a dozen hours of fruitless search for that small opening in the ice which served as the last breathing hole, and with the terrible certainty that only three hours supply of air is between them and death of peculiar horror and ghastliness! Such a scene would be beyond the power even of a Victor Hugo or Jules Verne to depict ade- quately. London Mail

LAZY COFFEE

 Postum Coffee is not made like ordin- ary coffee for 1t takes at least 25 min- utes' cooking to bring out the heavy food value of Postum. It requires some effort for those things which are really worth wllile-making Postum requires @ little care.
 The grocer. is in a position to hear of those lazy ones who will not take the trouble to make Postum correctly. q am we'll acquainted. indeed with Pos tum," says a grocer of Camden, N J., flor I meet 1t not only at my breakfast table but am also associated with it daily in my business.
 e"Coffee drinking used to affect my nerves and stomach but since we have been using Postum in our family in place of coffee the bloated feeling after eating has disappeared and my head is now clear and stomach and nerves all right. We all feel better in every way and find Postun1 just as satisfactory to our palates.
 i'tI have met customers who complain ed that Postum was not good, but we always found this due to the fact that they tried to make 1t as they used to make coffee Of, course we set them right by pointing out the reasons, tell ing them they must boil Postum 15 or 20 minutes after boiling commences then they get fine, choice and delicious Postum."

ENGLAND AND PROTECTION
PREMIER BALFOUR ON ABOLI-
 TIoN OF GRAIN DUFF.

Tells Dsputasion of InHuentIaI PrO-
 testants That It Was Never Intended
 as a Protective Measnrs--The Coun-
 try's Policy of Free Trade Not to be
 Changed Without Broad Public En-
 dorsement.
 London, May 15.-Premier Balfour, accompanied by the chancellor of the exchequer, Mir. Ritchie, to-day received large and influential deputation of unionist members of the house of com- mons, headed by MT. Chaplin, a former president of the board of agriculture; members of the house of lords and del egates from the chamber of commerce and of agriculture. who protested against the remission of the grain duty.
 Mir. Balfour made long argument in reply to the representations of the depu- tation, but did not give any indication l of conceding the. demands. Without i the slightest intention on the part of the government. he said. the tax had accidentally given some protection to the millers. thus indirectly and unex- pectedly helping the farmers; but the government must not be blamed for re- hitting the tax. It was never intended i to be protective measure. Protection could not be introduced silently, as if by accident, and without broad, public endorsement oe such a change in the national policy.
 The premier contended that imme- i diate1y it became clear that the grain tax divided the two political parties of the country. it also became clear that the tax could not be a permanent part of the fiscal system. He did not intend l to say that the present system was necessarily permanent. New conditions had arisen since the old free trade poli- cy was adopted. and he could imagine circumstances under which Great Brit ain, by way of retaliation, would no longer consent to be made passive tar- get for other countries living under diff ferent conditions. He believed in univer- sal free trade; but at present every country except Great Britain was pro- tected. Great Britain had gained greatly thereby in many ways.
 MT. Balfour concluded by saying that he would welcome a closer fiscal union of the motherland and the colonies. The movement, however, would be extreme 1 ly difficult to carry out and must come from the heart, conscience and intellect of the great masses of people.

THE LAND OF sTANDsTILL.

Venezuela is Sometimes Slow, Some
 times Swift, Always Picturesque
 There are barracks; the one to the north with it's single gun presented to the Venezuelan government by the Empress Eugenie, and with all it's loop- holes drowning at the city, like all the other ''defenses." There is another near the center of the town, where the small brown sodier boys stand guard at the door, armed to the teeth. At night both places are given wide berth, and the unknowing stranger who might not understand the peremptory "Halte, qui vive!" is in mo little danger. Much afraid of these places are the peaceable inhabitants, and much night have they to be so, for the soldier that supports the reigning government is privileged person. It does not do to complain of him. The keeper of a cafe frequented by the troops once spoke to the colonel of an Andino regiment and said that his soldiers borrowed his knives and forks and did not return them. Do you mean that the soldiers of my gov- ernnent are thieves?" repied the colo- mel. The restaurant keeper replied that it might look that way to the cas- ual observer or words to that effect; whereupon the colonel shot him dead, and that was the end of the matter.
 Leading out of the city to the south and crossing the shallow river is the far-famed ''iron bridge" It joins ot it's farther end with broad road about a mile in length. Beautiful gardens and we'll kept little villas, mostly the pleasure homes of politicians, are on either side. Here on holidays meet the upper classes, the old conservatives, the wealthy tradesmen, and the suc- cessful politician. The pampered fa- yorite of the latter drives here, lolling back in her victoria. The people bow to one another or give the cut direct, as their acquaintanceship dictates of their position in the social scale may give them the privilege or not. At the eastern end used to be the gay quarter, the dance houses and the fandangos. A little park is at the western end, where there is also, strange to say, a baseball field. A hopeful sign for the future is that small percentage of the youths and boys have taken up outdoor sports, this within the last four years. This mile or more of good road is all that is worthy of the name of drive way in a country bigger than the state of Texas. The people are very nroud of it.-OutlOok.

dred gallons and was made of copper. It was put in about six years ago. William B. Davidson said he was on the house committee at that time, and the committee decided to get the best boiler it could. After the explosion he remarked that it certainly was a good boiler, for if it had not been it, would not have done it's work so thoroughly. For some time the boiler has caused trouble, and recently it was repaired.
 c. Winn Perkins, steward of the club, was not in the building when the explosion occurred. He hurried to the house as soon as he heard of the acci- dent, and stated that some changes had been made in the safety valve on the boiler recently, but in his opinion the explosion was caused by rust in the feed pipe or a clog in the exhaust.
