The tierce political .struggle in England which is now obviously approaching a climax has gained in popidar interest ever since there was excellent reason lor believing that King Edward had personally en deavoured to reconcile the two factions. Royal inter im ence in public matters, common as it is in many monarchies, has been unknown in Great Britain for many generations. Since the decisive struggle be tween the Crown and the Parliament, which ended in the decapitation of King Charles the First, no British monarch has openly entertained political opi nions inclining towards one side or the oth-r, al though practically all the Georges were suspected of political intrigues un'der the rose. This very whole some abstention from public meddling in Constitu tional questions has done much to make the Throne so popular with all classes in the United Kingdom, and we may be very certain that, in departing from it by a single step, King Edward was actuated by a sincere regard for the welfare of the nation. .It may even be that his Ministers not only sanctioned, but stiongly advised him to offer his mediation. This probability, however, does not appear to have oc- uo-ied to certain London journals, which have been publishing veiled criticisms of his Majesty’s action. The fundamental principle of good statesmanship is compromise, and without a due observance of this principle no party, however strong in mere numbers, can hope to achieve practical results. The English Cabinet is accredited with an inflexible aversion to compromise in the Budget dispute. It is reported that the- Prime -Minister-courteousl vy butoftmiiy, re jected the King’s suggestion of a common agreement between the two Houses, whereby the Peers, ,n re turn for the privilege of making certain amendments to the more obnoxious clauses of the Finance Bill, \m uld guarantee its smooth passage through the Upper House. But Mr. Lloyd George has taken upon himself the task of acting as spokesman for the Ca binet- “The Finance Bill must pass with every p. vv lax as it stands. We shall not retreat one inch from our present .standpoint.” In face of language of this or der the most conciliatory elements can do nothing save allow events to take their course. ft appears highly improbable that the Peers will pa c. the Bill as it stands. On the other hand, thev would take grave risks if they rejected it arbitrarily. The referendum advocated by the Times and other journals appears to us at once the most practical and faired middle course, but there are indications that the ex tremist element in the Cabinet have definitely m ale up their minds to reject even this unexceptionable com promise. MR. CRANE’S INDISCRETION. President Taft, says a Washington cablegram has intimated his acceptance of the resignation ten dered by Mr. Crane, the American Minister to China Previous to this official announcement Presided Faft had sent from Riverside (Cal.) a long cipher message to Washington declaring that any statement made by Mr. Crane must come before the State De partment, where the entire matter would be dealt with. It w r as known beforehand, how-ever, that whatev r Mr. Knox recommended President Taft would ap prove. Mr. Crane has issued a detailed statement, in which he savs that prior to the receipt of the letter from Mr. Knox, Secretary ©f-State, he had already tele graphed to President Taft the State Department’s objections to' retain him, declaring that the things he had done had been “in the effort to carry out my understanding of your wishes as expressed bv you to me.” He told President Taft that no mistake had been made, except by the State Department, and that he did not consider the proceedings of the De partment consistent with his self-respect or dignity. He therefore awaited Mr. Taft’s desires before act ing, adding. “You will understand that my resigna tion is in your hands.” Mr. Crane, in further conversation in regard 1o his position, said that he committed no indiscretion, as in discussing the commercial and political situation in the Orient he was only following the wishes of President Taft, who had told him to make his utter ances on this subject “red hot.” a Trade Mark.

( able advices from New- York announce that some of the newspapers apparently intend to make party capital out of the action of Secretary of State Knox in cancelling Mr. Crane’s appointment to the Pekin? Legation. Mr. Crane himself is endeavouring to shift part ot the responsibility for his grave indiscretions to President Taft, and it is by no means improbable that the President will be drawn into a controversy which inav become mischievous and even inimical to the national interests. . .. In the opinion, of resppnsiWe_.pjJLblicmen,.Mr, Crane demonstrated his unfitness for a diplomatic career within a w'eek of the announcement of his appoint ment to be United States Minister to China. He seemed to go out of his way to make speeches upon the dedicate subject of American and International politics in the Far East, and he crowned his indis cretions by according an interview to the Chicago Retard-Herald, in the course of which he divulged confidential information which he had received at the Stati Department, and w-hich was intended solelv for his guidance. The tone of all his speeches and statements to newspaper reporters was strongly anti-Japanese, and the most aw'kward part of this awkward business is that the Tokio Government must know, or at anv rate strongly suspect, that that tone was the result of Mr. Crane’s conversations w-ith the Secretary ol Stale. Ob'iouslv this entirely destroyed Mr. Crane’- pos sible usefulness as United States Minister at Peking wher. he would have been brought into daflv con tact with Japanese influence and policy. It is, of c-'urse, ridiculous to suggest as some American news papers have, nevertheless, not hesitated to suggest, that the Japanese Government has raised officially with the State Department the question of Mr. Cranes appointment. Such interference would not be tole rated for a moment at Washington, and the Japanese Government is far too shrewd to venture upon it. Mr. Knox has taken his almost unprecedented action for the reason, w-hich is really unanswerable, that Mr. Crane wohld be regarded at Peking as a Chinese paitisan, and as such would at once come into serious conflict w-ith Japanese diplomacy. Sifch a position would be full of possibilities of danger, and would make the representative of the United States power less to promote effectively real* American interests in the Far East. That is the view of the situation held by Mr. Knox, and the entire personnel of the State Department at Washington. NEWS OF THE WORLD. For the information of our readers we would draw attention to the fact that the German Customs exami nation at the Dutch frontier is now characterised by greater stringency than formerly. The official staff has been reinforced, and every measure is now taken to prevent the smuggling of tobacco and coffee into this country. A despatch received from Bluefields, Nicaragua, at Colon reports a defeat of the Government’s Irodps by the rebel army near Greytown. The Land Development Bill passed its second read ing in the House of Lords on Thursday. The oppo sition agreed to the Bill as a whole, but reserved the right of making several amendments when it tomes up for the third reading. 41 the aviation contest at Juvisy on Wednesday, Count Lambert was adjudged by the Committee “to have won the prize for the best round. The result of the race for a prize offered by the Societv for Aviation yvere'as follows: First, M. Paulhan ; second. Count Lambert; th^rd, M. Gobron. The prize for ihe greatest distance covered by a single competitor was won by M. Paulhan, with Count Lambert second and M. Gobron third. President Fallieres and several of his Ministers attended the aviation meeting at Juvisy on Thursday to witness M. Paulhan’s flight for the distance prize The av : ator rose at once to a height of 150 metres, covered three rounds in quick succession, manoeuvred over the flying ground, and flew six kilometres across the open country, returned to the ground, and finally landed from a height of 80 metres smoothly before the President’s stand. M. Fallieres heartilv congra tulated the successful aviator, amidst the enthusiastic plaudits of the spectators. On the Juvisy flying ground yesterday morning one of the aviators, M. Picliet, fell with his machine from a height of 15 metres to the earth. He sustained severe injuries, losing an eve and breaking his left leg. A serious disaster has occurred in Holland ; n con nection with the removal of some wreckage along tire cfiastH>etweefr- Waterweg* and-Seheveirirrgenw On fhursday afternoon a quantity of dynamite was being conveyed to the scene of operations in a barge, when it exploded. The barge was blown to pieces ind six workmen were instantly killed. The Paris Figaro states that King Edward has in timated his intention of revisiting Biarritz some time during the next season, to stay a month or six weeks. His Majesty is said to have selected a villa for his residence. The King will travel incognito, but, never theless, will pass one or two days in Paris on either the outward or homeward journey, and will have an interview with President Fallieres. An interesting relic of the period of the Crimean War was recently found in Memel Harbour, in the form of a sword belonging to Capt. John Foote, who commanded the British corvette Conflict, and wdio, with four seamen, was drowned in the harbour in April, 1854, owing to the capsizing of a ship’s boat. Capt. Foote had been on shore in connection with some prizes which he had brought into Memel. The find was reported to the Emperor William, who order ed inquiries to be made, with the result that the weapon is to be restored to Capt. Foote’s son, Vice- Admiral Randolph Foote, President of the Ordnance Beard. Admiral von Koester, commanding the German squadron at New York which took part in the Hudson- FuIton celebrations, has issued a note of thanks to the people of New York, in which he says: “For this magnificent reception and the overwhelming hospitali ty i am in a great measure indebted to the esteem and regard which binds Americans of German origin to gether. I am convinced that the celebration will con stitute a valuable link in the old chain which unites Germany and America in friendly relationship, it has been a particular pleasure to me, this opportuni-i tv of renewing old friendships with the representa tives of other nations.” Mr. J. Ridgely Carter, First Secretary at the Ame rican Embassy in London, who has been appointed United States Minister in the Balkans, will leave -Lon don about the middle of next month. Mr. Ridge! v Carter will first return to Washington in order to receive his instructions from his Government, and will then proceed to Bucharest. Mrs. and Miss Ridge ly Carter, who are now in Paris, are expected to return to London next week, and will travel to Ame rica with Mr. Ridgely Carter. Mr. W. Phillips, who will succeed Mr. Ridgely Carter, is not a stranger to London. He was private secretary to Mr. Choate during the latter part of that diplomatist’s Ambas- ’ sadorship in England.
