"NIeasured by the space gwen TO the affair

epileptic seizures, although she might
have kept the fact secret from her

reported, was found in Miss Leslie's
cabin.
The murder theory which has been

III for Justice in Panama Case

London, March 19.-Following up
Posts attack upon William Jennings
Bryan for his speech at the st. Pat
rick's Day banquet given by Irish
Americans at Washington on Satur-
day evening, The Standard says:
'If Mr.. Bryan really expresses the
views of the Cabinet and the Presi-
dent, the relations between Great
Britain and the United States may
enter upon a phase which would be
regarded with extreme regret by a
majority Of the sensible, moderate
persons Of both countries"
The Standard describes Secretary
Bryan's speech as "a fine example of
virulent and inflated nonsense which
the inferior king of demagogues talks
when he wants to catch Irish votes. I"
The Standard regrets the speech,
which it says it is impossible to pass
as mere indiscretion, just as the
Panama bill is coming before the
House, and fears that the Irish cleo
pioneering machinery will be brought
to bear in favor of discriminatory
tolls. And, adds the editorial, 'if
this is to receive the open support OF
the administration the prospects of a
just and favorable settlement would
seem doubtful,
