Some Comments Are Hostile.

London, August 26.-Premier Balfour's
statement to the deputation and London
chamber of commerce regarding the Rus
sian volunteer Feet cruisers Smolensk
and ST. Petersburg is regarded by
majority of the London morning papers
with entire satisfaction, but meets with
adverse criticism at the hands Of others.
The Morning Post, for example. asks
whether there is not something lacking
to clinch these stout words and COM
ments on the premier's extreme eager
ness to find excuses for Russia The pa
per considers the employment OF British
cruisers a delicate and undesirable duty.
not unlikely to prove troublesome. The
Daily Graphic comments in similar
strain. 1t says 1t considers the tasks
which the government has undertaken
as not one of conspicuous dignity, and
complains Of the cold comfort that Mr..
Balfour administered to the shipping
community, whose complaines Of differ
ential treatment he met by what was
almost a hostile cross-examination.

Roosevelt Justfies Lynching.
If, however. there are amongst US
men who justify the lawless spirit which
sometimes expresses itself in a public
lynching, they could not find, in all the
range of English literature a more point
ed and complete defence of such conduct
than has been furnished by the repub-
lican candidate for President, in his
work. Ranch Life and Hunting Trail In
which there is the following:
In which during the last two or three
years the stockmen have united to put
down all these dangerous characters. Of
ten by the most summary aid of lynch
law bands Of horses and cattle thieves
have been regularly hunted down and de-
stroyed in pitched fights by parties of
armed cowboys and as a consequence
most of our territory is law-abiding"

monplace incident, adds this mild state
ment:
" "A little over two years ago one COM

judgment in all cases
Il rejoice to know that whatever may
have been done and said in the southern
states. which thoughtful men cannot en-
dorse. It has never happened among us
that any man with intelligence enough to

Balfour announced the British govern

''should the volunteer fleet steamers at

Carefully Reviews Cases.
Mr.. Bafour carefully reviewed the
cases of alleged differential treatment. He
said there was no evidence as yet that
fair treatment would not be meted out
to ALL and that in his opinion the cases
cited hardly bore out the serious conten-
tion of discrimination against British
shipping, but should 1t, against his own
belief, appear that there really had been
discrimination the government would
take every step to end such a disas-
trous state Of things, which he even re-
fused to contemplate. The deputation
must remember that Delligerents had
rights as well as neutrals.
