TALK OF LONDON.
Chamberlain's Protection Pol-
 icy in the Lead
EDITORS COHERENT ON IT

The Colonial Secretary Intends to Have
 Reciprocal Trade Between Mother
 Country and Her Colonies -The Pres
 ent Outlook is for a Lengthy Cam
 paign on the Question of Protection
 Versus Free Trade.
 London, May 20.- Colonial Secretary Chamberlain protect1Onist policy IS the all prevailing topic of discussion here. His masterful assertion that he would make reciprocal trade between the mother country and her colonies the question of the hour has been sen sationally fulfilled. Columns of com ment fill the afternoon newspapers, and everyone is asking; Does 1t mean dissolution P
 The Telegraph generally semi-in- spired, says:
 .sThe issue could not be voted on for at least eighteen months; but in the meantime the government will give the country and parliament every oppof- tunity to discuss it.
 A definite decision will probably pc arrived at shortly, and will depend ai- most entirely on the result or the proDaganda now undertaken by the nress and hhe members of the house or commons If the indications show thar MT Chamberlain is likely to have the country at his back a general election at the end of this year is extremely probable.
 The colonial secretary hlmseH gne Associated Press learns, is doubtful II he could win out just at present, put he is. enthusiastically positive that With political agitation the constituencies can be brought to see the wisdom of his policy. Those who have discussed the preferential scheme with its author say he never exhibited such interest i'll any topic. stFor the first time in my life,v said a friend of the colonial sec retary, T can say Mir Chamberlain IS really excited
 In this crusade the colonial secretary Is absolutely in harmony with Premier BaIfour and haribors no designs on the premiership. The only practical de- velopment likely to occur ill the near future is a series of political speeches from the leaders on both sides.
 All signs point to lengthy campaign on the lines of protection versus free trade, which is likely to destroy party Hens almost as much as did the home rule question. Tn all the arguments the example and probable attitude of the United States will figure largely.
 The sugar convention bill which oussed Us second reading in the house of commons yesterday, is taken by the liberal papers to be an important fea- ture of MT Chamberlain's attack on free trade" The text of the bill, is sued today, provides for the prohibi- ton of the import of bounty fed sugar, that the origin of imported sugar be proved and that there be supervision by the customs or island revenue au- thorities of all British reineries, which must be worked only by persons al1- thorized by the commissioners.

LADIES' DAY AT EPSON.
Eleven Entries in the Contest for the
 Oaks.

Oaks.
 London, May 29.-Apart from GUS tomary interest in ladies' day at Ep- som, the open character of the race for the Oaks stakes (of 5000 sovereigns; for three year old Allies; about one mile and a half) attracted an unusually large crowd.

King Edward and the Prince Of Wales had a special train, but Queen Alexandra and the Princess of of Wales did not go to Epson.
 The field for the Oaks numbered eleven including J R. Keene's Dag zling, ridden by Lucien Lyme. The American Ally had many staunch ad- Iherants, and for looks carried off the .paIm.
 Hammerkop was second and Sky kcraper third.
 Dazzling fell during the race.

Let Miles Rest.

The retirement OF Gen. Miles, because he
had reached the age limit-64-and the lack OF
courtesy on the part Of the President on bis
retirement, has furnished occasion for lot
OF unkindness OF speech for the distinguished
military officer. The matter OF putting irons
on Mr.. Davis is the exciting cause OF the pres
ent onslaught.
or course 1t was brutal to 90 treat Mr.. Davis,
and 1t may be right to harbor malice toward
the young officer who did 1t. But II we are
going TO embitter our hearts and our speech,
there are thousands OF other instances that
might stir our souls. The unnecessary suffer.
ing Of the Confederate soldiers In Northern
prisons exoites our sympathy more than the
indignity offered to Mr. Davis. That In
dignity did not endanger his life, and did not
affect his good name. while we presume that
IT. will not be denied that unchristianttreat'
ment OF the prisoners Of war cost Thousands
Of lives. The life OF a private was as dear as
the pride Of the President.
Another thing: It will be noticed that. as
o rule, the old soldiers show less bitterness
than do the younger generation that was
born and has come upon the scene since the
war was over.
We would no more condone crnelty to Mr..
Davis than we would excuse the brutality
practiced on our prisoners In Northern stock
AIDES, but we would not always keep fresh
the memory OF the one while negleoting the
hard lot Of the poor soldier. who may have
been captured. Let us forget the past, and
let rs live In peace. The name of Jefferson
Davis will live forever in history, and that Of
Nelson A. Miles will not soon be forgotten.
The names OF our dead soldiers are not even
q memory today, while the deeds Of cruelty
that sent them to their graves are forgotten.
The names OF the cruel guards and the names
Of their victims are forgotten, while the bod
les of both mingle with the dust Of the earth.
Let old Miles rest. The mean action Of the
President IL enough for him.
