Chance of Sentiment

London, jan. 3l.--A decided change
10 sentiment toward the United States
as a Consequence Of The Kingston incl
dent il being manifested by q part OF
the London press
The Morning Post asserts The incident
is not regarded by the English people
a. closed; that they are tnlit ed TO full
knowledge of all the facts both in re-
gard to Governor Swettenham's actions,
and Admiral Davis's course, which led
to the ordering of the American naval
forces from X lgston.
Stories Of abuse of Americans, it states,
plainly are exsggerations Of sensational
American newspaper men. When the
toll story is known it hints that justi6ca-
ton for Swetlenham's action may be
found.
1--WE cannot forget that in the past
the American government has too often
failed to get up to the spirit of friendly
declarations in deal ng with this eonn-
try" is one Of the comments MADE py
the Chronicle. It also shows DISPOSE
ton to excuse Governor S@eitenham
and the newspaper utterances are iodics-
tive of change OF opinion generally.

tor Hepburn Of Idaho, Mr.. Pinchot
says:
These are absolutely temp rary In
character. For that reason they have
and will have no effect whatever on
coal prices. The president made these
Withdrawals only to let congress con
slider the great need Of a change In the
coal land laws. He believes that UNI
less some change is made all the coal
Of the country will soon be In the
hands OF a few monopolistic companies
with some such general rust control
as is now exercised over oil by the
Standard Oil company.
aThe only effect these Withdrawals
could have would be to prevent undue
cost to the consumer. The people who
must pay for coal will have great
protection in the future, provided con
gress adopts the presidents views. In
that event no coal owned by the gov
eminent will pass out Of its possession
except under leases for definite pc
RODS and with adequate provisions to
regulate the output, prevent monopoly,
and hold prices SO low that no unreas-
enable profit can be made by the les.

coal lands win surely be obliged to
hold their prices to the level estab-
lished by the government through Its
lessess, who will be competitors in

yesterday relative to the forthcoming
rules and regulations under the new
,denatured alcohol law The commits
sioner is now at work upon these rules
and regulations, which are not likely

The senator has also had a confer
ence with the secretary of agriculture
with view to the issuance of a series
of bulletins by the department on the
nature Of farm products which may
be used in making denatured alcohol
He has also written a letter to Presi-
dent Worst of the state agricultural
college at Fargo suggesting that he
take up with the attorney general Of
the state the question of whether the
manufacture of denatured alcohol in
North Dakota would be violation Of
the prohibition laws, and if he finds
1T would not be in violation Of those
laws, he has suggested to President
Worst the advisability Of the estab-
lfshment Of a denatured alcohol man

so that the farmers Of the state may
have; an opportunity to acquire a
knowledge Of the business, II they de-
sire to engage therein.
