More Charges of Perjury in Druce Case Ex-
pected to Follow

London. Jan 1s-The Druce case promises to
bring in the spring series Of charges of per-
fury against several persons connected with the
hearings. Miss Robinson. who was arrested last
night was arraigned to-day. The chief in
spector Of Scotland Yard asserted that instead
Of being a spinster. the daughter of Virginia
planter, she was in reality the daughter of a
London policeman. On the stand this woman
testified that she had been brought from Amer
ica by Charles Dickens TO act secretary to
the Duke of Portland and T, c. Druce- The in
spector says that Miss Robinson spent her
earlier years here and that she married a
butcher. with whom she went to New Zealand.
The prosecutor said he expected TO prove that
her story was tissue of falsehoods. It was
difficult to believe, he continued. that statements
so detailed and elaborate had been prepared
without assistance. and he hoped to be able to
ascertain whence this assistance came The
prisoner was remanded.

Tondon Ian 1S-The settlement between
Canada and Japan respecting emigration Is ap-
parently tentative. since it is based upon oral
aee,,rances from the Toxic ministers that they
will rigorously enforce the restriction regula-
tions The English Journals express the hope
that 1t will prove to be permanent adjustment
of this vexatious racial question, but they 90
not conceal their misgivings. They are not con-
vinced that British Columbia will be content
with an oral understanding. especially when it is
announced from Vancouver that the Colonial
LEGISLATURE will enact a measure restricting
Asiatic immigration on the lines Of the Natal
act The point at issue is whether the Dominion
government can control the preJudices OF
single colony and can induce 1t to accept the
obligations contracted by a general treaty. IF
the Ottawa government do this, II VIII be
proof of the superior efficacy of the Confedera-
ton in enforcing the duties incurred under
British diplomacy.

ences in dealing with Newfoundland. finds it
convenient 10 contract out its diplomatic obliga-
tions to the Confederation. While the Canadian
COMPROMISE II II be one, does not involve
fresh convention nor modification of the pre-
vious treaty 1t gives the Japanese government
credit for acting in good faith. English journals
express the hope that the American negotiations
will be conducted with much tact as those Of
Rodolphe Lemeux; and their financial experts
point out that a. retrenchment of expenses is
essential TO a full restoration of japanese credit
and the avoidance OF a crisis in Japan, while
vindicating the dignity of Oriental races and
taking the strong line that China needs an era
of peace and cOnciliaton. l. n. T.

The harm can't be corrected by drugs either
There must be complete change in the dietary

CHURCHILL'S CHANCES.
May Succeed DIR. BlreU an Dublin
Hunt for CrOzon Je7Cels.
Especial by French Gable to The Tribune.
copyright, 1908. by The Tribune Association

London, Jan. 1S.-Winston Churchill has re-
ceived the handsome compliment of a dinner
from the National Liberal Club, with Lord Car
rington in the chair, and probably with cue
from the Prime Minister himself. after their con-
ference in Paris. The leader of the Liberal
skirnish line is full of aggressive energy and
will force the fighting when the general election
comes on While his health has improved and
his resources of defamation and invective are
steadily increasing. it is likely that he will
be exposed prematurely to the risks of a by
election in Manchester. which would be required
by his admission to the Cabinet this year. He
will have Cabinet rank after the general cleo
ton a year hence. if the Liberals remain in
power. and probably will succeed Augustine Bir-
rell who has been less successful in Ireland than
Mr.. Bryce.
The disappearance of the crown Jewels from
Dublin Castle, when they were needed for roval
functions, was a mystery which required the
services of the best talent in Scotland Yard
The Dublin police failed to explain it, and the
Castle authorities adopted the strange expedi-
ent of appointing a secret commission for de-
termining the precise responsibility for the loss
of the jewels. The effect of this procedure has
been TO transfer to Sir Arthur Wears a large
measure OF public sympathy as the victim of
the still hunt for a scapegoat The report of
the commission will not convince anyone that
Mr.. Birreil has gone about the business in the
right way 1t is q blunder which will expose
him to sharp questioning when Parliament
meets Sir Arthur Wears has been shrewd
enough TO employ Unionist and Nationalist
members OF Parliament as his legal advisers
The robbery has been followed by various scan
dalous theories duplicating high placed officials
especially as neither the safe nor the door of the
room where the jewels were kept was forced
Dublin has become whispering gallery for in
trisuers and scandalrnongers, and the policy of
half measures and secrecy is a iamentabe fail
ure. Mr.. Birrell has evidently not been well
advised. l. N f.
