There Is a good deal of chagrin dis
played over what Is termed Lord Rob
erts' too generous treatment of General
Crorje and the tendency In some sec
tions of the press to hysterically over
rate Cronje's bravery. Many refer
ences are now made to Cronje's allleged
dishonesty in the former war, in ac
cepting the surrender of the British
garrison of Potschefstrom when a gen
eral armistice had been proclaimed.
Vanity Fair says:
"There is a vein of sentimentality In
the Anglo-Saxon nature which some
times transgresses reasonable limits.
Just at present it is engaged in elevat-
Cronje to the level of a hero."

A curious romance comes from Ches
ter where there was recently admitted
to the workhouse a Captain Salisbury,
son of the late member of parliament
for Chester. Though only 41 years old,
he has had a remarkable career as a
soldier, ivar correspondent .'ind author,
finally falling upon very hard days. It
seems a3 If this distinguished ,'iauper
was doomed to spend the rest of his
life In the poor house w hen then- sud
denly appeared on the scene an appar
ently rich woman, described as Miss
Emily Cunningham, of Ireland. The
sequel occurred Thursday last when
Captain Salisbury was married to his
visitor. They departed for Chester In
great style and amidst no end of sen
sation. The often postponed marriage of the
Crown Princess Stephanie of Austria
to Count Lonyay, seems to be on the
eve of occurring at Trieste, where Count
Lonyay has taken a residence and
whither Princess Stephanie departed
Vienna Thursday. Neither the Vienna
nor the Brussels courts are any more
favorably disposed toward the groom
than when the marriage was first
mooted. King Leopold thinks it a
scandal only a little less terrible than
that of his eldest daughter, while Queen
Henrietta hides her head with shame.
But Princess Stephanie, regardle8S of it
all. throws up her court life, diamonds
and gold embroidered robes, has her
income reduced from 800,000 to 200,000
crowns and goes to live with a poor
country gentleman.
The people of Vienna, it Is jaid,
scarcely talk of anything but this great
sacrifice for the sake of love.
Elngllsh papers fear another era of
agrarian murders in Ireland. It Is well
to nip in the bud the tendency now
aid to be exhibited.

TO KEEP LYNN CANAL.
President Has No Intention of Relin
quishing Our Hold on It.
NEW YORK, March 10. A special to
the Herald from Washington t-ays:
Although no effort Is being made
to pr?ss negotiations for the perma
nent delimitation of the Alaskan boun
dary It is said today that discussion
of the suinject is in progress between
the United States and Great Britain.
In answer to the British for the estab
I lishment of the boundary at a point
which would give the English control
of practically all the Lynn canal. Sec
retary Hay recently sent an exhaus
tive memorandum which in the opinion
of American officials dearly refutes the
British claim and shows conclusively
that the waterway belongs to the Uni
ted States. The British government
has not answered this communication.
There Is no doubt In the minds ot of
ficials that the loyalty of Canada to
Great Britain will r-auhe the London
government to be more insistent of the
claims of the dominion. The United
States, however, holds that the Lynn
canal Is Its property and the presi
dent has no intention of relinquishing
It. The jltlmate determination of the
controversy will probably be reached
by arbitration, the character of which
will be the stumbling block In the ne
gotiations. TREATY IS DOOMED.

Whether It haa two-thirds or one-third

don't care. I know tluit It will not be
ratified during the present session of

From the character of other remarks
made by republican senaors the Infer
ence Is drawn that some republicans
consider that It would be Impolitic end
