London. Tan. 21.-Thc colonial Office
L, still without explanation from Sir
Alexander SNcttenham, the governor
Of jamaica. of the situation which led
to the withdrawal of Rear Admiral
Davis warshils from Kingston on sat
,rday. This silence. although irrit2t-
ing to the government. IS construed III
4 good sign that this much regretted
affair is capable of amicabie ADJUST
ment and Will not lead to any disturb
ance q the friendly relations between
the United States and Great britain.
1t is supposed that if Coy. SWctt"n-
ham had airy reasonable juStiIic:ltioF pt
his extraordinary letter to Rear Nd
mira! Davis, he would not delay in
plaring his government in pos session
of tie facts: therefore his silence is re-
cardeG ;.s 4 confession Of the weakness
Of his ease. or an evidence Of conpunc-
ton at having adopted an inadvisa5le
course.
In his light the governors telegram
asking the British government TO CON
voy To the government Of the United
states tie thanks OF the nation for the
American assistance rendered by Rear
"A
importance and the fOrc.s,r secretary.
Sir Edward Grey, in forwarding this
message to Washington with tic
thanks Of the imperial government
well expresses the feeling Of the gov
ernment and the nation on this sub
ject.
Furt hCrmnre War Secretary Had
ane on behalf Of the war oriicc has ia
ken quite .sn unusual course, Is adj
dressing despatch to Sec. Root which
in directly applies consure of the COVER
nor of Jamaica. 1t will thus been seen
that practically all the ministers are
adopting q highly apprcciativc and Cor
dial attitude toward the United State;
and it cannot be doubted but that nv
incident will hc settled. probably by THE
recall of Governor SWcttcnham, or ~
least di:lvoNaI of his action ana
apology to Rear Admiral Davis.
While the foreign office naturally is
reluctant, in the absence of fuller in
formation to PASS judgement on The
affair officials OF the foreign Office DO
NOT heSitatC in agreeing that under no
conceivable circumstances should such
Il letter as Coy. SNCttCnham to Rear
Admiral Davis been written and they
declare that oven the stress Of II cent
events is no excuse for such language
on the part OF Il government official TO
an officer Of Il friendly nation engaged
in a work of humanity.

THAT FIVE MILIIoN FUND,

So the president has discovered the
existence OF a sFive Million Dollar
Fund raised to prevent the carrying
out Of his ideas! Good for the presi-
dect! But what ideas Of his have so
aroused Wall street? His ship subsidy
ideaH No, Wall street does not object
to that. His idea Of enlarginR the
powers OF the federal government at
the expense Of the statee? No. that Is
just what Wall street wants.
What ideas, then, is Wall street pre-
pairing to fight? Regulatio. OF the rail.
roads, prosecution OF trusts and the
income tax. And where did the presi.
dent get these ideas? From the demo.
cratic platform. Wall street also objects
to the inheritance tax and this was not
taken from the democratic platform
although in harmony with it.
But why is the president surprised
that Wall street c%onspires to defeat
these ideasf Did not Wall street cor
epire to defeat these came ideas in 1896
and 1900Y Did not Wall street contri
butte more money then to defeat these
same ideas than it is preparing to con
tribute now? The president took part
~ both OF those campaigns and he was
on the Wall street side! Did he under.
stand the nature OF those contests and
hid he know that Wall street was then
contributing more thin live millions to
defeat those same ideas? Tho answer
must be no, for had he known then what
he knows now how could be have joined
in the conspiracy? Evidently, he has
been studying, and o that he under
stands the ~irreconcilable contest be-
tween predatory wealth mt the common
people, will he forget itY Suppose Wan
street controls the republican conven
tion and nominates "A candidate satst.
factory TO Wall street, will his admin
istration support the We'll street candi.
dateY The president was very bitter IN
his d~enunciation of democrats in 1896
and 1900; will he feel moro kindly to-
ward them now that he krJws against
what odds they made their fight for the
