was referred 70 the detective bureau,
and went away. The police have not

In the little room where the couple

head Of the bed, a scapular was pinned
to the neck of a waist, and there were
several pictures Of Christ.

of her marriage to Elliott in st.
Thomas's Church In what city the
marriage was performed the young
woman did not say, but told in addi-
ton she had come to this country from

Editorials Say New York Jour-
nails Have Imputed Petty
and Unworthy Motives.
NOT INTERESTED IN TOLLS
Public Mind in England Not So
Actively Occupied with That
Matter as American
Criticism Suggests.
TBy Cable TO The Tribune. ]

London. Aug. 4.-"The Daily Tele-
graph" in an editorial on England's
refusal TO take part in the Panama
Exposition saws: The assumption is
made by American papers that the re-
fusal of the Board Of Trade is TO be
put down TO i'll will toward the United
States, based upon the action Of Con-
gress in exempting American shipping
from tolls in the Panama Canal. If it
did lie wholly with the government as
in fact it does not, to decide whether
this country will participate in the eX-
hibitiOn It ought 70 be obvious that no
consideration Of the kind alleged could
have weight with it for an instant.
THE maintaining Of good relations
with the United States is point or
policy unquestioned by any British
statesman. Those now in power have
associated themselves with the move
ment for celebrating the completion Of
century OF unbroken peace. Is it TO
be believed that a deliberate act of dts-
courtesy, even of the smallest. could
be done toward the United States by
our government in these circumstances,
or in any circumstances, for that mat
ter?
Motives so petty and unworthy as
those attributed 10 II would play no
part in the public policy Of this or any
other nation governed by persons of
ordinary intelligence and character.
The truth Is that the action of the
Board of Trade is consequent upon
finding that sufficient number OF
British manufacturers could not be IN
duced TO join in the preparation or
British section for San Francisco. The
refusal is thus based altogether upon
business considerations. The cost OF
exhibiting at such a distance Is very
great and the advantages 10 exhibitors
would be quite incommensurate there
with
ct "a n disputable opinion, Of course
but one that is genuinely held, and II
has not the remotest connection with
the canal tolls matter, which Is by no
means so actively present 10 minds
here az American criticism would sug-
Rest. There has been somewhat
hasty misunderstanding Of the legiu-
mate action of the Board of Trade and
we cannot doubt that further consider
alton will put the matter In its true
light"

torial on the same lines as THE Daily
Telegraph"
The Standard" hopes that a caimer
view WIFI convince New York journals
that their indignation Is scarcely JUS
tilted.
