STRICT NEUTRALITY IN CASE | OF WAR.
The London Standard says editorially : “We see no reason to suppose that Presi- dent McKinley’s nerve bas been ebaken, vouch less shattered, by the jingo attacks. As regards the genera! situation, it looks most hopefulfur the averting of war, without any intervention by Europe, which would be almost certein to exasperate f America.”
The London Daily News says: “Presi~- pent McKinley deserves the sympathy of the world in his endeavor to secure & pewceful settlement in face of the impa- tience of the American nation. Spain &! ould how to the inevitable and grant Cuba independence asthe only possible
so) ation.” The London Daily Chronicle save, beinga its editorial on che alleged statement of 6 number of President McKinley’s cabinet, to ite Washington correspondent that Spain has bern given 48 hours to accept or re- ject a proposal for, the purpose of Cuban independence for the sum of £40,066,009: “Tt ig an offer made withont prejudice bya generous and impuleive people. Spain would do well to accept it. She can bow to the inevitable, and this demand from Washington is a8 inexorable ae it is just.”
The Rome correspondent of the Leedon Daily Chronicle says: “ The government has *ent orders to the Italian consuls in the United S ates to see that the Italian emigrauts observe the strictest neutra ity in the event of war. The Vatican earo~
estly desires peace. The pope greatly
eateerns Spain, but also mauifests his TY . .
werm sympathy for the | nited States.
The Vatican regards the American Catho-~ lics ax the hope of the Catholic church, and desires to do nothing that will offend the Washington government.
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail eays: “Senor Pugcerver, m‘nister of finaace, has already secnred sufficient gold to pay the first instalments on the cruiser Esterpatch boaght of Italy. The furore of patriotiem is growing witl. euch ardor that it is believed if war occms that the gov~ ernment will have a splendid opportunity to rise » large interuational loan by popular subscription.”
The Madrid correspondent of the Times, commenting on the “cheerfulness of the Spanish public,” suggests that this is due to tne hope that Enrope will be willing to confront America on Spain’s behalf, the public being “appareatly incapable ot dis- criminating between material alliances and courtecus but platonic phrases.”

EN ROUTE TO KHARTOUM.
Another Skirmish With the Der- vishes.
It is announced in a despatch from Atbara, on the Atbara river, a branch of the Nile above Perber, that an important
recoppaissance was atarted by the Anglo Egyptian troops on Wednesday. Hight
equadrons of cavalry, four maxim guns, a battery of bor-e artillery, two battalions of infantry and the whcle of the mouuted troops “recounoitered the Dervish posi- tion, eight miles from A(tbara, this morsing and encountered the enemye horaemen, whom they drove in and prese~ ing forward, fouod Mahmoud’s position ip the heavy bush stroagly entrevched with pits filled with riflemen. In the centre was asmall bill with three tiers of eotrench-~ mente filled with spearmen, The position was ewarming with Dervishes alert for the attack. The artillery opened fire at one thousand yards. The effect was spparent- ly good, but 1t was difficult to judge to a certainty in consequence of the thick bush The maxims also swept the front of the position. The Dervisues, however, did vot reply, evideatly araiting an attack at close quarters. : s 35 Yaving ascertained the enemy's position the reconnoitering force retired, ‘followed by the Dervish borsemen, who did not attack but retreated under shell fire.

Bell's Patent.
Sirx,—It is emusing to read Mr. Bell’s long
last jetter in the Guardian. For vears the liberals charged the exodus to bad tory government. Now the liberals are in and the toni+s out, etill the exodus the injustice done the farmers by the pork~ es and middlemen. Mr. Bell should get this pew argument patented before the tories get holucf it, Call it Beli’s pork, lamb, middleman idea. But are the men who buviambs in this country middlemen? They buy on commission at priees fixed ty their employers and thus cannot be called middiemen in the true sen-e and if they were it might be all
pack¢
right for the producere. Mr. Diilon isa middieman in the cheese busicess, and none wit) deny that he is needed in that
place, and has been the means of putting more money in the farmers pock+ts thau if the factories had shipped on consign- ment.
Discussion of price, markets, and mar- ket requirements serves a good purpose; but attacking the buyers of farm products as robbers serves nogood purpose. When we have the right kind of products to offer they will command top prices. The eafesi place to eel! ia here, and the more middie-
men we have to call oous and bid agains. oae another the better. As for the
pork business, although Mr. Rattenbury sueceeded many o.hers did not; and we can reset assured that if there is money in his venture he will eoon have competition for there is plenty of money seeking investment and plenty men waiting to gointo a business that pays. By the way, did Mr. Bell take stock in the proposed new faetory and how much? It is becoming of a man in theen. joymentof government pay to be flinging mud at men who are strugglisg to make an bovest living in open competition,many of these coutributing more to public revenues than he.

Du Maurier and Keene.
With all my admiration for Leech It was at the feet of Charles Keene that I found myself sitting, besides which we Were much together in those days, talking end- less shop, taking Jong walks, riding side by side on the knifeboards’‘of ommnibuses, dining atcheap restaurents, making music at each other’s studios. His persona! charm was great, yreat in its way as Leecch’s. He was democratic and so was I, as one is bound to be when one is impecu nious and the world is one’s oyster to open with the fragile point of a Jead pencil. Lis Bohemian world was mine, and I found it a very good world and very wnuch to my taste—a clear, honest, wholesome, inne cent, intellectual and most industricus British Bohemia, with lots of tebacce, lots of good music, plenty of talk about liter ature and art and not too much victuals or drink. Many of its denizens that were buve become Royal academicians or have risen to fame in other ways; some have had to take a back seat in life; surprising ly few have gone to the bad.—George du Maurier in Harper’s Magazine.

St. Pavut's Cavacu.—The Rev J T Bryan preached in St. Paul’s last night the final sermon iu the lecture course to young men, from the words ‘we are partak¢re of the Divine nature.” 2nd Peter, 1:4 This sermon, like the prece-ding ones of the series, was interesting aud instractive.
Scrposep Drowxine AccipEent.—We hear with regret that Mr Danie! Gillis, of Pisquid, has been missing since Saturday evening and is believed to have been drowned. It seems that about sundown on Saturday Mr Gillis left Mount Stewart for his home in Pisequid, and that was the last seen of him alive. Itis believed that he undertook te cross on a cake of ice, and the pole with which he was propelling the ice becoming fast in tne mud feaused the cake to slip from under bim. Today tbe river is being dragged for the body but so far po trace of it has been found, Mr. Gillis wae a cousin of Mr. P. P. Gillie, of Charlottetown, and was about 60 years of age.
St. Duxstay’s Caruepaat.—The sixth Lenten sermon was preached yerterday in
St. Dunstan’s Cathedral, by Rev. Dr. Morrison. The subject was “Predesti- nution. This stl-important Catholic doc
trine was clearly and forcibly presented. The reverend gentleman pointed out that this doctrine when not properly understood, leade to many serious difficulties. But it was impossible to misunderstand the teach - ing of the Catholic Church on this funda- mental principle of Catbolic belicf when considered with light of Catholic theol- ogy. Predeetination, as taught by the Catholic Church was not unreasonable. Salvation was for every eoul, God willed not the death cf the ‘sinner. God’s will did not predetermine the doom ofthe soul. To God eternity was an ever present. The Divine plan was to the nind of man an insoluiion, but Gol’s love was a comprehension. Dr. Morrison’: sermon was a lucid exposition of this pro- found subject.
