The cabinet Is now powerless to with stand the pressure-. The Weylcrs and ultra-Spanish elus.es and volunteers are supreme.

In this way a saving can bo effected nnd the permanent corps can hove n little experience at roughing It In the west, Insteud of lying In Idleness In garrisoned cities.

Especially Is thl the case In time of public danger for the . Inatltullons and prosperity ol England. At uch time th feeling seems widespread that America Is hut another section of the mother country, to be counted upon for mutual defense In the same way that a larger colony would. Not only 1 thl the caiu?. but there I a grow ing sentiment favorable to our Inst It u Hon aside from those which appeal to the English mind cn the surface, a. It were. To those who travel abroad on gov ernment duties this has become specially patent. With naval officers there Is spirit of cumaradle which ha. never ex isted before, but which has become a liermunent factor In the conduct of affairs on our various foreign stations. The thing Is so evident nowaday that frequent re mark Is passed on the great changes the Inst few year have wrought In the friendliness between the two services, And now only this sentimental manifesta tion of the true kindliness felt by Indi viduals, but we are constantly reminded of this feeling In an unofficial or. sneaking more- properly. In a semi-governmental way. "In many of the Inspired utterances In the press of London thu sentiment has been dominant for the last few years. Navy officers abroad freguently hear such expressions as this: 'Oh, In time of any great national calamity we could count on the usslstunce of our American cou sins." Without a doubt there is more friendship felt and expressed In England for America than in America for Eng land. For, unfortunately. It has become the fashion to deride everything English nnd to scoff at England ai'.d the English, from whatever view the report takes Us rise. But liberally speaking It would seem, aside from any tinge of sentiment ality, that the two English-speaking na tions of the world should properly stand shoulder to shoulder In the future con tests from a military, a commercial or a political point of view. Commercially the two nations nre al most ns one In their Interests and It re quires but little stretching of tho Imagi nation to see the day when our com mercial laws shall be practically alike for the Interchange of the vast weilth of manufactures turned from the mills and looms of the two countries. From a military outlook the prospect Is somewhat more dubious, but It enn be foreseen that n time might come, con tingencies might arise, when the existence oi one nation might depend upon the good will of the other. This Idea Is based on tho Indisputable fact that the welfare of the civilized world Is In the keeping of tho English confederation of people and anything to break or disrupt the federa tion would be a catastrophe of world wide slgnlllcance. "Closer relations, politically, perhnps, may be only an aspiration for the com ing years to solve, but that there will be strong nttlllatlnn between the two peoples Is almost a demonstration. Our manners nnd customs are to alt Intents and pur poses Identical at the present and when (Continued on page six.)

THE IIOL'SE PLEDGES SUPPORT Spirit ol ritrlotiiai Itaaapaat Artillery Bill railed Iqder Si'peisioa of Ike Halej-Bailey Cat Skorl. Washington, March T. Ir. can be stated on the highest authority that the attitude of Speaker Heed and aome of the other republican leaders who have sought to keep down the "Jingo" spirit In the house, has been misunderstood by the public. Their purpose In delaying action on the bill creating two additional regiment of artillery wa to prevent, a far as po- alble, any undue alarm. While It 1 not generally known. It la nevertheless true that the republican leader of the house have given th administration assurance that any emergency action which may be deemed necessary to uphold the dignity of the country will be promptly ratified. The whole aim of the republican leaders under the leadership of the .peaker haa been, and I. to avoid hasty action or a ptni.lbllity, to far a possible, of Incen diary utterances on the floor, which might make the diplomatic settlement of th controversy more difficult. But the administration understand that majority In tbe house Is behind them and that money will be voted without stint when called for. ARTILLERY BILL PASSED. Washington.
