ENGLISH CRITICIZE.
LONDON PAPERS URGE GOVERN.
MENr TO BRING MATTER
BEFORE THE HAGUE.
SCORE PRESIDENT TAFT.
Editorials Blame Him for Signing the
Measure.-Express Declares It
Blot Upon Americas
Reputation.

London, Eng Most of the Lon
don newspapers print editorials in
which regret is expressed that Presi-
dent Taft signed the Panama canal
bill and they unite in declaring that
the British government will fail in
it's duty If it omits to insist that
the matter be referred to the Hague.
They also agree that the presidents
memorandum does nothing to remove
the British objections.
The Standard says: 1T would be
unfortunate indeed if the magnificent
scheme which is calculated to benefit
mankind in general proved to be fu-
tile and the cause of international
pickering"
The Morning Post, asserting that If
the United States desires to encour-
age its own shipping it can do SO by
decent bounties, says:
Experience may yet bring the
United States to understand that cred
1t is valuable asset, and that even
material gain is dearly bought when
by the loss of the worlds confidence"
The Daily Express in an editorial
headed "Dishonored," declares that
the protest Of the American press
has been a splendid vindication Of the
honor Of the American people, but
that the signature will remain a blot
on the republics reputation.
1T is lamentable." Express says,
that Mr. Taft is not strong enough
to resist the politicians and act in &C.
cordance with the call Of national con-
fidence. All English speaking nations
must view with sorrow the sight Of
the United States dragging It's honor
mud-bespattered before the world.
IL the long run America will be the
sufferer. Honesty among nations as
among men remains the best policy"
The Daily Mail says: 1T might
have been excusable merely to attach
his signature, but Mr.. Taft did not
scruple to give the bill his benedic-
ton in memorandum which was wor.
thier of pettifogging solicitor than
the chief of great republic. The
memorandum contains not a single
reference of an appeal either to arbi-
tration or the law courts. A year
ago President Taft moved the world
to admiration by proposing an arbi.
tration treaty. What is the world to
| think of this proposal now?"

hold-up of the Union Pacific mail train

airy at Red Bluffs, Cal.
His operations then were similar to
those used Thursday. The robber said
in the California hold-up he boarded
the train at Red Bluffs and forced
the three mail clerks to pick out the
registered mail for him. At Redding,
he boarded Pullman on the same
train and escaped detection. A re-
ward of $4,000 had been offered for
the capture Of the Red Bluffs rob.

The failure to put off mail at Law
renee led to Lounsberry's capture.
When the train passed through there
and the pouches were not forthcom.

mail clerks bound and gagged. Word
of the robbery then was telephoned
to Topeka, where the robber was cap
tured.

Vancouver, British Columbia.-A Mil

badly executed robbery. Saturday
night at nine o'clock just as the hank

The desperadoes, armed and masked
numbered six. four of whom are be-
Meved to be Italians. Not more than
$500 was the amount of their plumber,
this sum being secured from the tel
ler's desk, Manager T. H. Rhodes had
found opportunity to ring q newly in
stalled fire alarm signal. and fears for
their own safety prevented the bandits
from rushing the safe and they backed
out OF the bank, firing into the crowd
on the street.

but a stray one crashed through the
plate glass window of q neighbor-

Others passed through windows and
doors Of adjoining stores, missing
those inside. It was remarkable that
several boys and girls playing in the
immediate vicinity Of the bank were
not injured.
With the lower part of their faces
covered with handkerchiefs, the men

leader, presented a gun under the nose
of Mr.. Rhodes, while the other push.

bed all the money on the table, on the
desk and some in the cash drawer.
Teller Scott backed to the rear wall
of the office from the teller's cage and
pressed button in the wall behind
him. Mr.. Rhodes, who had been or.
dered back into his Office, did the
same thing. 1t was this action of the
two men who were even then looking
down the barrels of a revolver that
saved the bank from losing a great
deal more money. The robbers are
still at large.

Roosevelt will not have an opportunity
to answer John D. Archbold's state

til late in September.
Senator Clapp, chairman of the sub.
committee before which Mr.. Archbold
told his story Of having contributed
100000 to the Roosevelt fund of 1904,
telegraphed Colonel Roosevelt that the
committee would not be able to hear
him at once as the colonel desired.
Senator Clapp received a telegram
from Senator Dillingham; of Vermont,
chairman Of the committee on privi-
leges and elections. announcing that
Senator Pomerene OF Ohio would be
appointed to take the place Of Senator
Luke Lea Of Tennessee who had re.

the inability Of the committee to get OF.

ing some of the things to which he
would have testified. He so declared
in a statment in which he also took
the committee to task for permitting
John D. Archbold to sail for Europe
without telling more about the $25, 900
he contributed to the Republican cam
paign in Pennsylvania in 1904.
Colonel Roosevelt had received no
direct word from Senator Clapp when
the correspondents visited him at Sag.
amore Hill. He had heard. he said in
directly, of the committees inability
to have him appear before it. He was
greatly chagrined, he said. Also, he
added, the senate need not bother
about confering additional powers on
the committee ii they wanted to find
out about his primary campaign, his
relations with George w. Perkins and
VIM. Finn. the Pittsburg leader or any
other matters connected with his pri.
mary campaign, or, for that matter,
anything that he had ever done as
