London, August 0 "A hatred rivalry which may some day be settled by ihe arbitratment of the sword" seems :o fairly sum up The Saturday Reviews opinion of the relations between Greui Britain and the United Stales. Discus sins President Roosevelt's pronounce ment on Monroeism, the alaj bitter ly anti-American Saturday Reviaw uses the president's speech as a text Qn which to enunciate a long sermon on "American Greed and Hypocricy" an-. the danger threatening the Britisa Em pire from the United States future ex pansion. It says, in reviewing the W.s tory'of the Monroe Doctrine: "It is unfortunate if not exceptional that the United States cannot be satis lied with the plain.straightforward po-I-cy of self interest without attempting; to explain it as a disinterested and highly moral position. It was on this basis that the war with Spain was un dertaken, resulting in the Philippics being annexed and Cuba being put un red the heel. South America's natural reserves are enormous, but the indi vidual states cannot act together. It is plain that they will not long resi.-t American extension south vw.rd and American "protection" from European aggression will soon incubate lato occu pation by the United States." Proceeding to discuss the eiiect 'f Monroeism on the British Empire T!i' baturday Be vie v.' says: "The United States is the oni great power separated Irom tin British Em pire by nothing but a land frontier and ially is not nearly so critical. Und. States to ultimately inciude Canada The United States is commercially growing fast at our expense and judg ing from its present progress the power of the United States in wealth and num bers will soon exceed that of any rival we have, possibly excepting Russia, whose position in relation to us territor ially is not nearly so critical. Untlcr these circumstances it is surely clinr that the power we need be most con cerned about is America. .Acute terri torial and commercial rivalry always results in an ultimate trial by force. It is the only final settlement. There is no question of liking or dis liking Americans. It is simply a ques tion of which shall ultimately get the better of the other side." A curiously dive: gent view is express ed by the Spectator on the same topto. It says: "We hold that the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine is as good for us for the United States. We. like thf United States, have no desire to se the status quo violently alterec by the efforts of continental European states to carve cut for themselves Colonial Empires in Central and South America. It would suit us no more than tae Unit ed States to see Germany established in Southern Brazil or elsewhere on tht western continent." Proceeding to point out that Monroe ism cannot rest on air and that unless based on power it is sure to be expo?eo, to be pushed aside and disregarded, The Spectator continues: "To make the doctrine effective Amer ica must build a fleet unquestionab y stronger than that of France or Ger many. She need not trouble to outbuild us, as we not merely agree to but my be said to be passive supporters of tne Monroe Doctrine." Beat ty Team Work. New York, Augui: 30. The cycling season on the Manhattan Beach track was wound up today and there was plenty of excitement for -a time owing to the deliberate pocketing of the color ed rider. Major Taylor, by Bedell and Lawson. in the final heat of the one third national championship event. Tay lor was so badly pocketed that he sat up and stopped riding, while Frank L. Kramer, who was behind the trio jump ed around the bunch and won. The team work was so palpable that the spectators yelled their disapproval of the unsportsmanlike actions of Lawson and Bedell, who were promptly disqual ified on Taylor's complaint. A short time afterwards Taylor was enthusias tically applauded when he teat a big field in the five mile handicap in which McFarland who had announced his in tention of doing team work with Kra mer, was second and Kramer was not in the first five.

Tamaqua, Pa., August SO Strike lead ers went from door to Uoor in the Pan ther Creek valley last night, spreading ihe news of General Gobin's stern warn ing and his instruction to the men to shoot and shoot to kill if molested in i-ny manner. That the words of the commanding officer have had at least temporary effect was shown today when the troops escorted several hundred non-union men to work witneut being molested in any way. Companies E., and P., went out at daybreak with their guns loaded and their best marksmen on the flank. When the soldiers passed the crowds of strikers on the street, they deliberately turned their backs to thern. However, there was no hooting or jeering. Supplementing his orCcr of last night. General Gobin has directed Major Gear hart in command here to arrest all wo men and girls who insult the troops In any way. The opinion ieems to prevail among the officers and citizens that the lull in the rioting will last but a short time. The 'fact that move men went Jto work today than yesterday is not cal culated to improve the temper of the strikers. ANOTHER STARTLIXCJ SCHEME. A 311 ulster Surest That Parishes Starts lp Theatre. London, August CO. The R.v. Forbes Phillips, vicar of Gorlcbion, near Yar mouth who aroused widespread com ment by permitting Mrs. Brown Potter to recite from his pulpit in June. 1901, Is agitating a fresh and more startling scheme for a close union of the church and stage in the causa of religion. He proposes that each parish maintain a theatre under the management of the church. In an outspoken interview the clergyman says: "Clergymen overdo Ine religious side of iife, thereby ruining the spiritual livt-s, like that of over fed Strasburg get se. 'J :e plan of the Rev. LIr.

THE BIG RAILWAY MERGER ATTEMPTED CONSOLIDATION WIM, he VKiouorsLV opposed. NORTH CAROLINA AGAINST IT The State Would Demand That ti.e Individuality of the Trunk Lines He Preserved. (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, X. C, August 30. Attorney General Gilmer when asked by you correspondent whether Governor Ay cock or himself contemplated any steps ia opposition to the proposed merger of the Southern, Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line railways replied: "I have been reading considerably about this matter and have been watching the trend of developments. We have taken no steps but there is no telling what may happen if what is now merely a rumor cristalizes into fact. Governor Aycock is aosent and I do not know his views but I am very pos itive that the people of North Carolina desire, and if needs be will demand that the individuality of these tzunk lines shall be preserved. Any attempted consolidation will be vigorously opposed by all the forces North Carolina can bring to bear against it. It would in such an event be my duty under the law, to take the initial steps.

Chicago, August 30. Theodcre Roose velt, Jr, had a very busy time of it to day.

Chicago, August CO. Judge Bren tano. ordered a venire for a special grand jury to convene next Tuesday to consider the tax fixing scandals that have thrown county officers into a tur moil during the past week. Bench war rants also will be issued against sev eral persons as yet unknown- The ac tion is a result of the unearthing by States Attorney Deneen of what he thinks to be a gigantic conspiracy to defraud Cook county of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Last week it was discovered that the tax accounts of the Masonic temple building, apparently, had been tamper--ed with on the books of the county treasurer. The charge was laid before the states attorney that the entry of; "paid" before an item of $26,770.17 was a forgery. County Treasurer S. B Ray4 mond and his chief clerk John Brecker, asserted that the money was neverj paid. Captain Williams, manager for) me lusoiiic lempie asswiciiiuii menu tains that the raxes were paid in cash. The Daily News prints today what purports to be an expose of the scan dal. Michael G. Walsh, an employee of the county treasurer, made a. state ment which he said was the same as that which started States Attorney De neen on his investigation. According to Walsh, he was approached by Luke Wheeler, a man who he maintains was head of the conspiracy. Wheeler, Walsh said, told him that the Masonic Temple Association was in a bad shape financially and that a bond issqe was necessary probably for more than $100,000. In order to permit of this bond issue, the tax title 'to the big twenty two story office building must be clear. The plan proposed to Walsh was that he mark "Paid" in the tax warrant book in the space devoted to the tax on the temple for 1901 Walsh said Wheeler promised ample protection and that all that was neces sary for the time being to show that ithe building stood clear of the $27,000 taxes against it. The property had been sold the year previous for taxes and if the present year was allowed to remain against the c ompany the trust companies would not touch the bonds. Walsh said he was : set $500 of $1, 500 to be paid for the job. Walsh main tains he told States Attorney Deneen about the affair and that afterwards somebody made the forged entry. HEAVY TREASl UY RECEIPTS. Tanks Are Preparing to Increase Their Circulation. Washington, August 30. The receipts of the treasury department for the month of August, just closing, exceed the expenditures by $5,S5.1,S12 and there is an unexpectedly large surpius. The total receipts were $48,605,812 and the ex penditures $42,650,000. For the same month last year the total receipts were $45,394,125, and the expenditures $30,3ol, 497, a surplus of a little over $6,000,000. The big surplus this month has been attained in the face of the heavy cut made by congress in the way of wiping off the books the taxes imposed on ac count of the war with Spain. This act of congress decreased, the re ceipts by something like $6,500,000 a month. In fact, in July the receipts from internal revenue fell off more tnan that figure as a result of the cut. This month the reduction is not so large. The increase is over $5,000,000, showing that the country is buying more heavily abroad each month. In accordance with the suggestion of Secretary Shaw, national banks in the large cities are preparing to increase their circulation by the deposit of bonds. Since a few weeks ago, when Secretary Shaw asked the banks -to prepare to meet any emergency by in creasing their circulation, the banks have notified the controllers office they want to stand ready for an Increase of $12,250,000. A large portion of this cur rency is now being printed at the bu reau of engraving and printing and will be ready for the banks 30 soon as the deposit of bonds is made. MURDERED BY RODDERS. An A Bed Couple Find Burglars At tempting to Open Their Safe and Were Shot. Gainesville, Fla., August 30. Mr. and Mrs. Brit Lewis, residing five miles south, of Bronson. were murdered last night-by robbers. The aged couple had been calling on their son who resides only a short dis tance from where the killing took place. They returned at night and surprised two robbers who were in the act of opening a large safe in which the prosperous farmer kept his money. The eon of Lewis heard shots in the direction of his father's house and ran at once to the place. When the son arrived, he found the dead body of his mother lying across ths corpse of her husband, near the entrance to the Louse. Both had been shot several times and then knocked in the head. IN FINE SPIRITS PRESIDENT GROSSES FROM HEW HAMPSHIRE TO VERMONT VISITS WINSTON CHURCHILL The Trip Across Was Made in Pri vate Conveyances and Oftliues the Party Had to Ahandou Carriages and Walk The President Easily Outdistanced the Others He Made Two Speeches A Crowd of School Children Wer Presented to Mr. Hooscvelt and Each tJave Him a Hunch of I Towers Coimrat ula latlous "Were Showered on Him for His Killing of the AVI Id Boar. Windsor, Vt., August CO. President Roosevelt today resumed his tour of Xew England, crossing from New Hampshire to Vermont. The trip from Corbin Park to Wind sor was made in coaches and other con veyances. At the Blue Mountain Club house in the park the president and Senator Proctor joined the party ready for the drive of fifteen miles across the Croyden Mountains. It was a beautiful morning and every- J Rome, August 30. The reports rela one refreshened by yesterday's day otfitive to the creation of mother Ameri- rest and enjoyment and a gocd night's sleep was in the best of spirits. The trip was one of the most pleasant expe riences of the president's tour. On thm way from Corbin park a brief stop was made at the summer home of Winston Churchill, the author, at Cornish, N. H. Cornish, N. II., is a picturesque little village and the inhabitants had gather ed to give the president a rousing recep tion. After being extended a greeting by Mr .and Mrs. Churchill, a number of school children were presented to the president. They filed passed him by twos and each little girl handed him a bouciuet of sweet peas, pansies and as tors. His carriage was banked with flowers when he rose to speak. After requesting that members of the Grand Army who were in the assembly be al lowed to occupy the front line the presi dent made a brief speech. The party resumed its way over the mountains and reached Windsor a short time before noon. No one was in better spirits than President Roosevelt. He was congratu lated .upon his true. ainv which brought down the wild boar and felt proud of his achievement when he learned that the shooting of a boar in these parts was a feat of no mean importance. He humorously referred to his hunting costume or blue overalls and ltd sweat er furnished him by Senator Proctor and expresssed the hope tht the photo graphers had not approached near enough to him to do any damage. In the course of the ride over'the mountains several steep passes made it necessary for the party to leave the carriages and w-alk. The president easily outfooted everybody and climbed the heavy grades with as little difficulty as If he were taking a stroll through some city park. The president was given a hearty re ception here and made an admirable ad dress of about forty minutes at the fair grounds. WRECKED BY TORXADO.

For fourteen years, efforts have been made to secure another American member of the sacred college, but it was found that the American Episcopacy was not sufficiently favora ble. General DiCisnola came to Rome to advocate that Archbishop Ireland and the late Archbishop Corrigan both be promoted, to avoid their rivalry, but Xew York's geographical position was regarded at the Vatican as being too near Baltimore to permit of Archbishop Corrigan's appointment. With the passing away of Archbishop Corrigan the situation was much alteied and it is considered that a .satisfactory solu tion of the Philippine question might bring recompense to Archbishop Ireland for his serv ic es in the a .'fair. At the Vatican it is said that news paper talk will only delay Archbishop Ireland's chances as the pope is always irrigated at the idea of anything being imr.osed upon him by the press. eSr -V- THE MONROE DOCTRINE I'lJESIDEXT AXCES ROCSE V EL.TVS I TTER CAISE SIR PRISE. HO FOREIGN POWER DISPUTES IT Yet It Was Recently Re-atrirmed So Energetically That Wide Com ment Has Been Excited. Berlin. August 30 President Roose velt's fresh declaration of the Mon roe doctrine has been received here with an air of wonder. The tone gen erally assumed is one of surprise that the doctrine should be re-affirmed so energetically at a moment when no Eu ropean power disputes it. least of all Germany. Moreover, it is asserted that Germany gave her assent to the doc trine soon after President Roosevelt's assumption of the presidency and that the state department has abundant knowledge that Germany does not even contemplate securing coaling stations in the Western Hemisphere. Some suspicious critics suggest that something must be going on behind the diplomatic screen to occasion the pres ident's enunciation. The foreign of f ce tells the correspondent of the As sociated Press that official circles by no means share the newspaper excite ment. It reads the spe-'H.-h in connec tion with definition of the doctrine con tained in the presidents last message to congress, which thoroughly satisfies Germany. The disposition in some c;uarters to regard President Roosevelts' speech as directed against Germany is wholly in admissible, because Germany, as the American government knows, never designed territorial acquisition on th American continent. THE WAR AME. Everything Prepared and All Move ments Mysterious and Secretive. On Board U. S. S. Alabama, Menem- sha Light, Marthas Vineyard, Mass.. August 30. Mysterious and secretive to day is Rear Admiral HJgginscx's white squadron- The warships have their or ders, but none except the captains and officers know their purport. The mobi lization of the squadron continued last night with the arrival cf the Scorpion. At 8 o'clock the Gloucester sailed. Her destination was unknown, but it is un derstood she passed out ca scout duty. Admiral HIgginson has not ordered the camp of marines on Martha's Vine yard to be broken and it is considered possible that they will not xcport back to the ships, until hostilities are dis continued. In view of the opening of tfce period of hostilities, there was some discussion amongst the officers, especially the en signs and ' midshipmen of the "war game" on the Massachusetts coast. All agree that the experience was of great value. Weather conditions have been superb with the air clear and exhilirat ing. Officers and men are physically in splendid form and eager for action. CENERAL SUBSIDY COUNTER MOVE AGAINST AHERI CAII C0MB1HAT10H GOVERNMENT SUPPORT The TI roc Limit for the Couplet loai of the American Shipping Combine Is Almost Here and All Sorts of Speculation is Rife as to Hor the EnKlUh (Government Will Heal With It Preniier Ilalfonr Will Make a Statement on Rc-assem-hllnK f Parliament The Scheme Will Include nireet. Cauu, ... Service Opposition to Straight Subsidies. London. August SO. The approachlrsr expiration of the time limit for the com pletion of the Atlantic Shipp.ng combi nation is arousing tha Britisn preta t, all sorts of speculation retarding J. Pierpont Morgan's ultimate plans a? well as the governments scheme fr dealing with the combination. The promised statement of the Premier. A. J. Balfour on the re-assembliai.- t -f par liament, is awaited with intense J. att est. The statement has already Uen j nit. ed that the k'overnment plars are com plete and that the authorities arc nil ready to make an effective counter move against the American syndicate. Inquiries made by the AssorUted Press in the best informed quarters In dicate that this announcement !a not true. Tho government has had to deal with so many powerful and connlctlng interests that it has not et iKt-a able to definitely decide on a plan of acJon. In spite of the opposition to a general subsidy scheme, well informed person consider this to be the most likely yoiu tion on the lines of a generous distribu tion of government support, i.ot In be half of one, but of several companies. The form whicn such assistance will take is still under discussion, theie be intf considerable opposition to straight subsidies. There is no doubt that Mr. Baifour's announcement will includ6 a .cheme for a direct, fast Canadian ser vice, in which the Canauian P;iif.c railroad will probably particip i, :ut not as originally planned, ay soTe pro motor and beneficiary. The Indications point more and more to the drawing together of the Atlantic lines outside of the Morgan combina tion. One of the alliances which may be earliest expected is a comination of the Alen Line and Bidet, Dempster & Co. The heads of the Kngllsh l!nee are chary in expressing themselves on the Atlantic outlook. Time Is rather intensifying than allaying their jeal ousy of the Americans bid for 4h At lantic trade and the government his. been so stirred up that it will not leave a stone unturned to allay the -xiMlny commercial and colonial discontent.
