charges that Mary had conspired with
Boutwell, to assassinate her second husband
charges that had been made by the Earl
Of Murray. who, of course. wished to re-
tain her throne. As proofs of her guilt
Murray placed before a commission of in
quiry silver casket alleged to have been
given to Mary by her first husband, the
young King of France. and to have been
given by her to Boutwell,. 1t contained love
letters and sonnets alleged to have been
written in her own hand to that lord also
two papers. one in her own hand and one
subscribed by her.
These letters. If genuine, contained in
contestable proofs of n criminal correspond
cnce between Mary and Boutwell,, of her
consent to the Kings murder and of her
concurrence in Bothwell's plot to kidnap
her and carry her off. Claiming this evil
dence to have been forged, Mary instructed
her commissioners to ignore it, And since
then Great Britain has been divided into
two camps, those believing that she wrote
the celebrated 'casket letters and those be-
lieving them to have been spurious. AL
| though these letters had enjoined Boutwell,
to burn them, he had-'twas alleged-fool-
! shly committed them to the custody Of the
deputy governor of Edinburgh Castle. who
in revenge for a later slight had allowed
| one of Murray's henchmen to intercept
| them.
Evidence For and Against Her
BY those who have believed Mary guilty
it has been argued that Murray would not
| have staked his success on forgeries des-
| tined to pass muster before many shrewd
| investigators; that the verbosity of the
| letters proved their genuneness that they
| contained particulars which nobody else
| would have thought to invent; that they
detailed n conversation between Mary and
| the murdered king that was afterward re-
| called by gentleman as having been re-
| lated to him by the king. and that the Duke
| of Norfolk was fully convinced of her guilt
| On the other hand, IT seemed absurd that
| any one SO shrewd as Mary Stuart should
| have conided such indiscretions to paper
| that any one so willy as Boutwell, should
| have preserved discriminating evidence
against himself, and that the Duke OF Nor
| folk. II convinced of her having murdered
her second husband would have later SC
| 2ealously tried to become her fourth con-
sort. Furthermore, investigation of char
ters and other deeds signed by Queen Mary
showed that she was not in the places men
toned in the famous letters on the days
assigned therein.
Moreover, Mary was clever poet and
the sonnets credited to her were crude and
inelegant. She was woman of refine.
| ment, and the letters attributed to her
were to the last degree indecent as well as
written In crude style to which she never
could have descended.
Later the "casket letters mysteriousl,
disappeared Some said that they wer,
destroyed by friends of her son, the bo,
King James, that every evidence OF hi,
mothers supposed indiscretions might b,
erased.
Whether genuine or not the "oasket let
ters" certainly helped to pave Queen Mary,
way to the scaffold.
The truth concerning them will never b,
known.

TENDER l, Representative Taylor of
Colorado believes. He also points out
that the senators and representatives
of the mining states must have a draft
of the bill in time to submit 1t to
some of their constituents so as to
secure their opinion on it before re-
turning to Washington. To insure the
study of the bill by considerable
number of persons in each Of the mi
ming districts it will be necessary, Mr..
Taylor believes, to have not less than
three months time for this to be done
Mr.. Taylor has been advocating a
revision of the mining laws for a
number of years. 1t is his personal
opinion that commission should Wis
it every mining region of the country,
so as to secure a better idea of the
needs of all mining districts before
attempting any drastic change in the
present law. Since the commission
dea has met, with decided opposition
in congress. Representative Taylor is
not averse to the plan of having a
bill formulated by Van Fl. Manning,
of the bureau of mines, in conjunction
with W. r. ingalls,, L. ID. Ricketts,, j.
Z. Finlay, J. Parke Claiming, Hennen
Jennings. John Hays Hammond and
Walter Douglas. He has a high opn-
ion of the ability of these men, but
sounds note of caution in suggesting
that the greatest care must be used
not to allow theoretical conditions to
govern their action to too great an
extent. He declares the man with the
.burro must be considered. He also
hopes that 1t will be possible to rem
|edy the glaring defects in the mining
code without tearing up the entire
statute. He believes the changes
should be held to minimum.

Armed Neutrality is Not War

protect American ships and American
life at sea without authority from
congress and without necessarily in
volving the country in war. The pre-
cedent of .the armed neutrality league
of 1880 and of the French depreda-
tons would justify the expectation
that war will not result, though that
of the armed neutrality of 1900 would
lead to the contrary conclusion. The
pi esident's intention clearly is to fol-
low the French precedent. to assume
that We are not at war and to ask for
no declaration of war unless Germany
gives further and ample cause. If
war should be declared. or made with
out a declaration 1t must be by Ger
many No course will then be open
in the United States but to fight, and
it will be incumbent on congress to
recognize state of war.
The action Of Germany in endeav-
oring to form hostile alliance with
Mexico and Japan in anticipation of
American resistance to the submarines
campaign shows an intention to re-
gard our armed neutrality as an act
of war, Just as Britain regarded that
of Denmark in 1900, and it is neces-
sary for the United States TO prepare
against that probability. But in that
event Germany will be the aggressor.
