ENGLAND SEES TROUBLE AHEAO. After the Boers the Irish, said Lord Snllsliury In a London address a few days. ngo. The genial premier took oc casion In referring to the refusal of the government to accept the Dtitilt plans for peace In South Africa to state that England was not only wllllug but anxious to welcome any peace that would recognize fully the rights of his sovereign. While there could scarcely bo found objections to the rejection of the proposals from Holland since the Dutch effort at peacemaking was re pudiated from the start by Boer Wad ers, this btatement of Salisbury indi cates that a permanent truce can bo nnrrlinm'il nulv on British terms. If oredenee bo placed lqKltcJit-ner's re port that tho last gun of the redoubt able Do Wet had been captured, the end of the wnr seems not far distant. But England herself will find the price of pence heavy enough when the war bills are paid and she sets up govern ment over tenantlesa farms rich in nothing now but tho memory of th brave deeds nnd the bones of sturdy patriots, who dletl for love of court- tryj-or those many others who lost tliejBryes In Britannia's servlc.

Tho Immensity of 1-oiulon can only lio understood when we come to deal with the many sides of the people's lives. Kvery year about 130,000 babies nro born In London, some 5,000 of whom nre not wnnted, nnd nro no welcomed. Thorn nre nlwnya more boys tltnn girls. More than 400 out of every 1.000 never live to be 2 years old, over 30.- 000 little coffins being used every yenr to bury their lemalns. More than 20,- 000 people die every year In l-ontlon workhouses nnd Infirmaries; but, in spite, of the fact that about S2.000 Ijan donors'go'to their last account, there nro 50.000 more persons alive In Lou don eneh' Now Year's day tnan thore wore on the previous wcaslon. Thuro nre more than 40,000 wed dings each twolvemonth. 30,000 of which nre celebrated tn the churches of tho establishment. Strnngo as It may seem, seeing that we havo had compulsory education now for over 30 years, there are every yenr more than SOO0 persons mnrrled In London who can neither read nor write. It Is n common mistake to suppose that everybody who can comes to Lon don and that Its population is Increas ed almost entirely by this process. As a matter of fact close upon 40.000 donors leave the metropolis every yoar for the country or for places abroad. London Kx press. Dr. W. T.

WHITE HOUSE METHODS. Illnmrntlnu of Ilrrnr I'rnnltnMi In llu lrmllp"t' HviTpllou lluom. President Roosevelt continues to In terest all his visitors by the breezy frankness with which he discusses ev erything tltfit comes up, siiys n Wash ington dispatch to the New York Even ing Post. A New England congress man thus describes n recent cnll nt the White House: "I jvanted to see the president nbout n Important postofllce In my district. I had not bothered him much up to that time, so I telephoned Mr. Cortel you and received an appointment. I wns tuhtgred into the president's recep tion ro4(n. Many other people were there. We could hear the president talking ivlth some one In the cabinet room, and, while It would havo been Impossible to follow the conversation, the tones'1 wtre strong enough to Indi cate a vigorous discussion. Pretty soon the from tho cabinet room opened, nnd In cntne the president. 'I am not going to see nuy of these people except Senator Bard, not nuy of them. I nin too busy. I cannot do It,' said the pres ident to Secretary Cortelyoti with con siderable emphasis. Suiting the action to the word, he took Senator Bard over Into the window nud bnd a considera ble talk with him. "Mr. Cortelyoti beckoned to me to stay, nnd tho president as soon as ho was through with Mr. Bard came over and sat on the sofa beside me. When I montloned my postotllco case, ho told me to go down to the department and. fix the tnntter up with the postmaster general with the nlr of one who was tired nbout hearing of postofflccs. As I got up to go be looked over to two .voting men who were still wnltlng. 'You nre from Alabama, nren't you?' be asked, and before they had time to answer he added. 'You want So-and-so nppolnted?' The young men replied that they did. but before they could ex plain why the president told thetn that lie was sick of hearing of their patron nge squabble. 'You sny the other can didate for this ofllce ought to be In Jail, don't you?' he went on. 'Yes. sir; ho ought to be there.' was tho reply. 'Woll. now.' said th president, 'his friends assure me that your man ought to bo In Jail. I assume that you are both right. I wish you would go to the nttorney general nnd put In writing the reasons you have for believing that the other candldnte should be sent to the penitentiary, and I will have n sim ilar statement made up In regard to your candidate. Then we'll let the nt torney general look them both over nnd decide what Is to be done. Per hnps If you know anything good about the man you are backing you had bet ter put that In writing, too, and give it to the attorney general. That was all I stayed to hear, but It struck me cs characteristic." CHINA SAVED BY U. S. NAVY. Stnrtllnr Statements of Cnptnln llotj- nu About Craplrr'i I'artltliin. Captain Richmond Pearson Ilobson, hero of the Merrlmac. who spoke at Tremont temple. In Boston, on "The American Navy," made some startling statements In regard to China, says the New York Evening Journal. "It Is my sincere belief." he said. "that It was the presence of the strong United States nnvy in Chinese waters that prevented the partition of China a year and two years ago. If the parti tlon of China comes In the near future, I believe that the world will be set on Are. It Is my beltef that under such circumstances the only preventive of a worldwide war will be the presence of a great American fleet. "China is to be opened up, and opened up soon. The United States by Its geo graphical and industrial position has the strategic vantage ground. We should be the first In this vast Indus trial upheaval, which is eure'to come with the opening up pf China to the world. We have equal rights in China with the rest of the world, and we have equal rights in saying that China shall not be partitioned." DOGS TOO VIGOROUS. rrrplrxlnr rtr.nlt of Life Savlnc Ex periment In TarU, It was announced some days ago that the river police In Par were to be assisted by Newfoundland dogs, which would prove very useful in the case of accidents and suicides. Experi ments carried out fully bore out this contention, but difficulties have never theless arisen, says tho Paris Messen ger. The dogs do their work perhaps too thoroughly. M. Leplne. the prefect of police, was present at a trial the other day when a dummy wag thrown Into the Seine, and one of the dogs dived after It and brought it to shore. Then, however, the other dog wished to take a part in the proceedings, and they were both so anxious to save the dummy that be tween them they tore it to pieces. In consequence further experiments are to be made, and the dogs will be put through a regular course of training, as It would not at all do If after sav ing drownlngcersons from a watery grave the dogs only brought them to land to worry their lives out.
