THERE is indignation in parts of New
England incident to the reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Canada. The New Englanders are
ayerse to Canadians bringing fish into
this country, and they arc making dis
NAL forecasts Of the result, asserting
that it means ritual death to the
American fishing interests i'll both the
Atlantic and Pacific. The great mass
of the people Of the United States are
not, however, using New England
spectacles, and rejoice that door has
been opened by which Canadian food
products can be brought into The conn-

Alfonso and Victoria.

Madrid, via Hendaye, France. jan.
2s.- Spanish courtiers are making no
attempt to conceal their qualification
over the threatened breach between
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, the
true state OF whose matrimonial affairs
was set forth in yesterdays United
Press cables. The queen has never
been popular in Spanish court circles,
chiefly because she is so lacking in
everything that appeals to the Spanish
mind, and again because she instituted
sweeping reforms and economics at the
court Immediately upon her marriage
to Alfonso.
The present humiliation OF the queen,
therefore, is proving delightful bit OF
gossip in all the higher circles OF the
capital.
The matrimonial differences OF the
royal pair, due to Alfonso's strong
penchant for the society OF actresses,
dancers and the unbridled life OF Paris,
are now said to have reached the
marking time" stage. The good
graces OF the English court have been
invoked in an effort to straighten out
the trouble and prevent the scandal OF
an open separation.
Some OF the older OF the kings adj
visers have, upon their Own initiative,
placed the affair before the English
court and have beseeched it to use its
influence with Alfonso. There is n
possibility that these efforts will succeed
in so far as to prevent royal separa-
ton. That they can never succeed,
however, in restoring harmonious
relations between Alfonso and Victoria
is certain.
Victoria's faith in Alfonso has been
shaken too often for her ever to again
accept his promises Of reform in his
domestic affairs. Upon his return from
his last trip to Paris Alfonso was haul
ed over the domestic Goals. He made
solemn pledges to his queen at that
time, but bis subsequent actions, it is
said, showed that all hope OF reforma-
ton was futile.
Queen Victoria adheres to her inten-
ton OF going to England at an early
date, the extent Of her visit depending
on the outcome OF the negotiations
that are now under way for 4 settle
ment OF her domestic troubles.

DECLARING there is too much
watered stock in Methodism, and that

addressed to Rev. William +. An
derson, presiding elder. Mr.. Booth
asserts the church has gone daffy on
organization and machinery and thus
largely crushed the very life out CT
what real religion we have had. " lie

THE newspapers Of Madrid arc giving
much space to dispatches from the
United States describing the inycstiga-
tions incident to the raising OF the
wreck of the battleship Maine III Ha-
yana harbor. They appear peculiarly
interested in anything in the way OF
evidence that the warship was lost rs
the result OF an explosion from within.
Moderate comments are made on the
Injustice of the Spanish-American war.
Many conservative people inthe United
States have always believed this coun-
try went off half-cockcd when II de-
c!ared war on Spain. The actual cause
OF the explosion on the Maine is yet q
mooted question.

The Explosion ON the Maine,

Madrid, Jan. 25.-The newspaper

PERU AND ECUADOR CLASH.

The Peruvian minister at Washing
ton has received cable advices from hi.
government regarding the clash be.
tween Peruvian and Ecuadoreau forces.
The message says in part:
Ecuadorean troops raided Pocitas
and committed acts of violence against
the Peruvian inhabitants. When the
Peruvian police went to the border to
investigate the facts they were attacked
by the Ecuadorean garrison from the
other side OF the river. There were
dead and wounded on both sides. -
The Peruvian government has in
formed the representatives ut Lima oil
the mediation powers that Peru also
will send troops TO the points menaced.
1t appears that the efforts Of the me-
diators through Which the Peruvian
and Ecuadorcan troops opposed to each
other on the frontier were withdrawn Z
few weeks ago have come to naughi
and that actual war is imminent.
4 dispatch from Guyaquil, Ecuador,
says two hundred Peruvian soldiers at
tackled the village OF Chacras, Ecuador,
near the boundary. Three Ecuador.
cans were killed aud eight other:
wounded.
Meagre accounts of the lighting were
contained in telegram received yes

sage, there was Z misunderstanding be
tween the authorities of Ecuador an(
those Of Peru which eliminated in AZ
