Every day since the Tigers arrived

The Thermometer has never been much

efforts of the British Government to
deal effectively with the question:
The sensibilities of the American
people have been deeply touched said
Doctor Wright, by the advanced posi-
tion which the Government OF this
country has taken up in the last few
years with regard to the Indo-Chinese
phase of the opium traffic. The British
Government has manifested a deter.
mination to eradicate the existing evils
of the traffic, if possible, even at the
expense of sacrifice in other directions.
For some five or ten years the
American people have taken great in
terest in the subject, and were inclined
at one time to blame the British Gov
eminent. The American people now
view the question from a slightly diff
ferent standpoint, and have learned q
appreciate what the British govern
ment has done"

Gossip From Europe
Socialist Gains in England---The Hague
And Opium---Our Shipbuilders
Accused---Abduls Jewels

LONDON, Nov. 1S-Almost unnotic-
ed by the political press, which is
fighting bitterly over the insurance bill
and home rule, the Socialist party in
England made tremendous gains in the
recent municipal elections. The result
proves that one voter in every six in
the country is a Socialist, and from a
total of 10000 Socialist votes cast in
1900 the number has now risen to l.
0OO,O 900. According to the secretary of
the Anti-Socialist Union, the Socialist
party will be in control Of the British
Isle in ten years if there is no organic
ed movement to fight the propaganda
of its enthusiastic advocates.
Most of the Socialist gains were
made at the expense Of the Liberals,
but in a number of cities, especially
Liverpool, the stronghold Of Unionism

can firm, which offered to build at the
rate of 1897 marks per ton, against
1861 marks of an English firm and 1899
marks of a German firm. In line with
this it is asserted that the Argentine
Government delayed the decision until
the American firm was able to obtain
an insight into the tenders of it's com
petitors, and that the diplomatic rep-
resentatives of the United States in
Buenos Ayres played very important
part in the negotiations.
Further, it is asserted that the Uni
ted States bound itself to take Argen-
tina under its protection until the two
battleships were finished, which, in
view of the tension existing at that
time between Argentine and Brazil
was of great Importance,
A similar deal is said TO be going on
at the present moment in Chile, the
Government of which ordered battle
ship of 10000 tons from the Arm
strongs, of England. and intends to
order a second battleship,
American representatives are said
to be doing their utmost, by means Of

That he eluded the vigilance OF the
Italians by some deep-laid vile is, how
ever, only one inheritance of the skill
acquired by the Turkish officers while
they prepared the attack on the Sultan.

the showing its members have made
in Parliament, and its full strength
may soon be diverted to the ranks Of
Socialism. 1t is considered remark
able that these gains should have been
made in the face of the programme or
radical social reform measures advo-
Gated by the present government. A
certain section of the press which has
commented on the municipal elections
is inclined to attribute the Socialist
gains to the use of troops by the gov
eminent in the late strikes.
