Referee Graney in stopping the contest

Taking another feature out of the fight,
which was Sullivan's excessive game

Of the vast empire and feels the same
pride which Britain feels at home in the
splendor of the imperial fabric.
To the success of the imperial scheme
the advances of practical science and in
vention have greatly contributed. With
cables all around the world, with swift
vessels and colossal railway lines, with
the vast increase in popular publications,
with the art of reading universally ac-
quired, and with improved finance, the
world has grown so small that globe
encircling empire is entirely feasible
At the same time it must be admitted
that exultation in the possession of power
for powers sake and the worship of force
are not apt to go hand in hand with a
regard for human rights at home or
abroad and that the intoxication of en-
pire does not lead to an appreciation OF
the highest type of manhood or of citizen
ship.
There will be no backward steps taken
in British expansion. All classes of Brit
ons today accept the results of the i'm
perialistic regime Yet it does not follow
by any means that all are dazzled by
these results, or deaf to the need for re-
forms at home and justice abroad. 1t
does not follow that all are puffed up
with the pride of the ancient Roman when
they survey their empire, now more than
three times the size of his when greatest.
The feeling of the practical God-fearing
Briton of today is best expressed in the
words of Kipling's .Recessionai, which
recognizes the eatsresponsibiIity of the
government of so vast an empire, divest-
ing the ideal of its vanity and boastful
pride. Never, perhaps was nations an
them more appropriate, more expressive.
Nor ever, perhaps was more needed such
a voice of admonition, such call for
sober second thought, such an appeal to
men to be not dazzled by the gilded glories
of imperialism.

had been achieved without the loss of
a life or the firing of a gun.
He went from the United Kingdom;
he returned to the empire. He went
Mr.. Disraeli; he returned to be Lord
Beaconsfield.
He returned with a deed to the Island
of Cyprus in his pocket, thus adding a
grand link to the chain of empire, forged
by the previous purchase of the Suez
canal and the absorption of Egypt, which
followed naturally and speedily.
For some years the mass of the people
of Britain had many misgiyings, and a
dread of increased responsibility. The
decree by which Victoria was proclaimed
empress of India was read to a mere
handful of subjects, and was exceedingly
distasteful at the time. The annexation
of the vast kingdom of Burma, few
years later, would have been tremendous
event at another period; but in the rapid
more than the purchase of new island
would be to US today.
The circumstances were all favorable
to the imperial advance. The venerable
sovereign upon the British throne had
come to acquire an influence which no
other ruler in the world possessed She
was revered as the mother of her people,
inspiring alike the filial and the chivalric
devotion due to parent and woman.
The peace of the world was held secure
by the concert of Europe. All things
worked to aid the geniuses of empire
building. The people were hesitant, how
ever, as stated. There came period Of
caution, and in 1880 Mr. Gladstone again
became prime minister He granted to
the Beers qualified independence, and
: ordered the evacuation Of the Egyptian
Sudan. He was overthrown in 1886, and
the imperialists under Lord Salisbury had
full sway. Six years later the grand old
man was again premier. but after labor
ing for more than year to secure home
rule for Ireland he retired again and
finally from the political arena. The

network of FenianiSm from corner to
corner of the island. Even the military
and police forces in the country formed
the strongest meshes in the net, for
these bodies were sapped and honey
combed by revolutionary spirit.
When the movement was highest, it
was calculated that there were quar-
ter million Fenians in Ireland, and that
one-sixth of this number were police
men and soldiers.

who were under bribe to give alarm In
case they heard anything suspicious
happening. One night he had, as
usual, been safely locked in his cell.
The next morning his cell door was
found unlocked, and despite locked
doors and high walls, Stephens had
utterly and most mysteriously disap-
peared. Immediately over England,
Ireland and Scotland feverish search
for the escaped one was begun, but
unavailingly. The authorities never
seemed to discover to their satisfac-
tion how the wonderful escape had
been effected. After various yicissi-
tudes Stephens, in his very old age,
was taken home from the continent
and given by the nation little
house on the outskirts of Dublin and
pension. He died few years ago,
leaving behind him only the last of the
Romans, his old friend and fellow con-
spirator, the venerable John O'Leary,
who still lives and whose pale, thought
full face, with long white beard is fa-
miliar on the streets of Dublin.

name and history. He found, to his
amazement. that it was impossible to
converse with her, as she did not un-
derstand any of the signs, save the
rudest of gestures. All he succeeded
in discovering was that she was a
weaver, had been badly treated and
ran away She did not know her
name and could not tell from where
she came, and was ignorant of the fact
that human beings are generally given

IMPERIALISM I'M BRITAIN
BY HUBERT M. SKINNER.


man, sneers the imperialist of today.
Modern imperialism in Britain may
be said to date from the Disraeli min
istry and the Berlin conference of 1878.
Up to that period one heard much of
the United Kingdom, but little Of the
empire" The sovereign was king
or queen, not an emperor or empress.
When the British empire was men,
toned 1t was in a geographical rather
than a political sense, as we speak of
the Athenian empire when we refer to
the ancient republic of Athens and its
colonies. 1t was supposed that the
limit of navy building and of taxation
had been reached, and the navy was
maintained for defensive purposes.
There was urgent need for political re-
form of every kind at home. There
was dread of any increase of the
heavy responsibilities entailed by the
possession of distant colonies.
A dream ofedazzling ambition came
to few mastery leaders in the "sev-
enties,'' and was unfolded by degrees
to the British public. Viewed with
misgivings and dread at first, it spread
its glamour upon the people. It became
TO many of them. as intoxicating as the
glory of Napoleon to the French of a
century ago.
Russia, at war with the Turks, had
penetrated the very walls of Constanti-
nople In 1878, and the dream of Peter
the Great seemed about to be realized
The actual test had come to the Brit
ish. Would they really enter upon
war with successful RUSSIA world
war 1t would likely prove.-in the out
come of which the colonial possessions
might be lost? The British dreaded
such a war-dreaded it then to a de-
gree which we can scarcely realize to-
day. But the issue was firmly met
The British fleet passed the Dar-
danelles, ready to begin the fight. Then,
to save the peace of Europe, If possi-
Bile, conference of the powers was
summoned to meet at Berlin.
To this conference went Mr.. Benja-
min Disraeli, the Jew, to represent the
United Kingdom. Never perhaps IN
diplomatic history was achieved such
q triumph as he won. The history of
an age seemed to be written in a day.
Theatrical but profoundly astute,
forceful and subtle alike was his me-
teoric career at Berlin. He dominated
the conference. He built around him
the wall of a European concert" Eu-
rope spoke with authority, but the
voice was the voice of Disraeli. He
returned to London in the glare of red

said Jennie, 81 knew that your friends
locked you up longer than 1 did. They
knew you better"
Michael Davitt, by the way, is said
to be at work upon new book. His
Fall of Feudalism in Ireland has had
q large sale. The forthcoming book is
to deal with the Fenian movement on
this side of the water, in which Michael
sDavitt figured much. For the pur-
pose of preparing this work Dayitt
has had access to all the papers bear
ing on the subject left by the late
James Stephens, the founder and head
center of the Irish Republican Brother
hood. Though the Fenians did not sue
ceed in revolutionizing Ireland by ply
sical force, it was the immediate cause
Of two peaceful revolutions. Gladstone
himself admitted that it was the 'in-
tensity of Fenianism that forced him
to bring in two memorable bills the
disestablishment of the state church in
Ireland and the land bill of 1870-the
first redress of the land grievance that
ever the tenant got.
The former, the disestablishmen of
the Irish church, was by far the greater
of the two, and has had the most far
reaching consequence. 1t was an intol-
erable grievance that a country with
population three-fourths or four -fifths
Catholic had to support state cnufcn
that ministered to an insignificant mi
nority. Yet, even amongst good Irish
men and Catholics there would seem
to have been an occasional dissentient
voice amid the acclaims with which the
disestablishment act was received, If
we were to believe the story told that
when Gladstone's name was eulogis-
tically referred to by an Irish orator,
one gentleman present groaned right
heartily. Said the speaker, do un-
derstand that my friend does not ap-
preciate the great man who has just
relieved the nation of an intolerable
burden?" Appreciate him" replied
the man, II would appreciate the
devil first. Mr.. Gladstone has deprived
us of the best grievance ever we had"
The late James Stephens was most
extraordinary man, gifted with Won
derful powers Of organization. He
conceived the idea of the Irish Repub-
lican Brotherhood and for years trav
eled Ireland on foot from town to town,
from village to village to establish the
Fenian society-which was the popular
name for it and the name given 1T by
the Irish American, John O'Mahony-
Stephens, by his great personal efforts,
so far succeeded that he spread fine
