"■ ^ ~^- -ssva zrzzsr r - MnUMy SutocHpOon Rau*, For the whole of and ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE. The news contained in the telegram from Cannes, :o the effect that the Duke of Devonshire has breathed his last, will be read with deepest regret. Although it is some years since the Duke took a prominent part in public affairs, his splendid re cord, Parliamentary and private, made him one of i he most respected personalities of modern times. To recite the list of his achievements at St. Stephen’s during some of the intensely interesting periods of British legislation^ would be a superfluous task of considerable magnitude. His transition from Uni- c ersity to Parliament was phenomenally rapid. In 1854 the Marquis of Hartington, as he then was, took his degree at Trinity College, Cambridge, and m 1857 was returned to Parliament for North Lancashire. He was soon acknowledged as a factor to be reckoned with by political friend and foe alike, for at the opening of the new Parliament of 1859 lie moved an amendment to the address which over threw the Government of Lord Derby. In 1863 he was Linder Secretary for War, and on the formation of the Russell-Gladstone administration at the death of Lord Palmerston, he entered it as War Secretary. Other offices he subsequently filled were those of Postmaster-General, Secretary for Ireland, Secretary for India. Again in 1882 he passed to the War Office, and his administration was memorable for the expeditions of General Gordon and Lord Wolseley to Khartoum. Shortly afterwards came the split with Mr. Gladstone, occasioned by the G. 0. M’s conver sion to Home Rule. Lord Hartington’s refusal to follow his leader in this course inevitably made him the "chief of the new Liberal Unionist party, composed of a large and influential section of the old Liberals. At this time he held a position much i esembling that which Sir Robert Peel had occupied after his fall from power—the leader of a small, compact party, the standing and ability of whose members were out of all proportion to their num bers, generally esteemed and trusted beyond any other man in the country, yet in his own opinion forbidden to think of office. Students of contem porary history know how the Duke of Devonshire— as he had become by the death of his father in 1891 consented to enter Lord Salisbury’s third Ministry as President of the Council. For twelve subsequent years his keen intellect and well- balanced mind were devoted to the service of his country until, in 1903, at the age of 70, he per manently retired from Parliamentary life. His great contribution to public life was the weight of character which procured for him uni versal respect and confidence, and exempted him from bitter attack, even from his most determined political opponents. It has been said that no man ever doubted the Duke of Devonshire’s patriotism, or felt entirely secure in differing from his judg ment. Wealth and rank combined with character to place him in a measure above party; and he remained a luminous example of the benefit which a democratic community may derive from the existence within it of an aristocratic class and the Participation of its members in public affairs.

During yesterday’s meeting of the Reichs- tag journalists the following resolution was unanimously adopted : “The journalists of the Reichstag express to the journalists at home and abroad who have so far stood by them in such a fraternal manner, their hearty thanks, and hope that their support will not be with drawn in the further course of the question at issue.” OTTO MAYER Photographer 38 Prager Strasse 38 Telephone 446.

NEWS FROM AMERICA. MR. HEARST’S ANTI-BRITISH CAMPAIGN. We hear from New York that the usual celebra- k>n of St. Patrick’s Day, in which some thousands Irishmen took part in a parade, has not been owed by the virulent New York American to was without a violent attack upon England. On % 17th inst. a cartoon appeared in that paper owing the British lion trampling upon a prostrate gure of Erin, and in a lengthy text to this work art the paper says that whenever the American ^Public is engaged in disputes with another Power, *2f? and iS reatly >wlth a in its hand leaking t© stab us in the back.” The excuse for this malevolent absurdity are some comments made re cently by Mr. A. B. Hepburn, ex-Comptroller of Cur rency, lately returned from Europe, who said that the Continent was antagonistic to the United States and that “England is our only friend among the nations”—a statement which Mr. Hearst is anxious to refute, for reasons best known to himself. It is obvious, however, that this ranting demagogue be lieves it possible to gain wide-spread popularity among the masses by cheap denunciation of Great Britain; but it is also obvious that such a belief is an insult to the intelligence of the real American people. BRITISH AND AMERICAN JOURNALISM. A course of lectures on journalism delivered at Yale University by Colonel George Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly and the North American Review, has been the subject of much comment in the American Press At one lecture he exhibited a complete model of a newspaper based on his own views of what a daily journal should be; this model was criticised on the ground that its ap pearance was more English than American. Colonel Harvey, however, candidly expressed his preference for the “clear, clean, self-respecting English method,” and then proceeded to eulogise The Times as the typical Anglo-Saxon public journal.—The gallant Colonel might at least have had some considera tion for the susceptibilities of Mr. William Randolph n6drst* SYMPATHY WASTED ON RAILROADS. According to a statement made by a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the de crease in revenue sustained by the principal American railroads resultant upon the financial panic of October last, was not so great as was generally supposed. The chief lines even earned a . ne I increase of 14 million dollars over the pre vious year’s revenue. CHINA TO GREET THE ATLANTIC FLEET. The Chinese Ambassador in Washington has com municated to the State Department that the Viceroy of Nanking has been directed to make preparations for welcoming the United States Atlantic Fleet upon its arrival in Chinese waters. This is con sidered as an invitation to the Fleet on the part of China. ATTEMPTED MURDER BY KOREANS. A San Francisco telegram reports that Mr. Stevens, the American advisor to the Korean Coun cil of State, was fired at and wounded by two Koreans on Monday, but managed to shoot one of his assailants. The deed is supposed to be an act of revenge, since Mr. Stevens has facilitated Chinese projects in Korea. NEWSPAPER’S AMAZING DEVICE. The World newspaper, according to a New York telegram, started a gambling-hell with the permis sion of the police, and so established the fact that the police, when bribed, allow such places to be carried on. An enquiry is in progress. AN IMPORTANT PROPOSAL. A Bill providing for the amendment of the Sher man anti-Trust law has been laid before Congress by Mr. Hepburn, on behalf of the Government. The proposed measure will not prevent the workmen from striking, or the employers from uniting in order to obtain more favourable conditions of work. If the Bill passes, railway tariff agreements under the supervision of the Government will be legalised. The proposed measure will allow such unions and agreements when traffic is restricted, so far as they are not unreasonable, provided that the Companies who wish for a privilege are registered either by the Interstate Commerce Commission or by the supervising authority in Washington. Companies who wish to be registered must furnish particulars of their organisation, their financial affairs, and their system of management in such form as the Pre sident of the United States shall direct. DISASTROUS TORNADO IN THE SOUTH. Several districts in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama have been ravaged by a tornado, the damage being very great. A number of persons lost their lives. STATE INDEPENDENCE DENIED. The Supreme Court has declared the railway tariff rates of the States of Minnesota and North Carolina to be illegal. Both States have adopted a compulsory rate of two cents a mile for pas sengers. THE MASSACHUSETTS MURDERER. The murderer Pomeroy, whose liberation from jail after thirty-four years’ imprisonment is de manded by philanthropies! Bostonians—writes an esteemed correspondent—is probably Jesse Pomeroy, who as a boy more than thirty years ago was im prisoned for life for murder. He had distinguished himself from babyhood by torturing insects and the smaller animals, and as a boy he extended his in human operations to the larger dumb animals and to children, torturing and mutilating them, also setting fire to buildings. His imprisonment for life, instead of his execution, was a mistake; his release would be a crime. It is not to be supposed that thirty-four years’ imprisonment has cured him of his insanity or divested him of his inhuman propensities. (Continued on page 4.)
