A perhaps II the Gulnna case ns against 1rance

we are anti what the facts are.
' There Is as yet no clear Information about
the Trinidad business Englar.t herself does

may or may not have been subject to reont

seems to ha\e lied uo .Ioubt about her rights.
Brazil's ratl/er / pasSIonate proest thc popu-
lar excitement In the streets ; r lo , and the
violent speeches In the Brazilian Chamber
camOupan her as a surprise , All that can
be said Is that the matter Is under negata-
S tion. Trinidad , Is Itself an insignificant , rocky
island In the south Atlantic ocean , ten de - ,
grees east ar Brazil. I.lpplncatt's Gazeteer
sets I down as belonging ta Brazil . and so

It Is assumed In the jingo press that-I

ernment & and should be able clearly to show
ller ownership laf Trinidad , the case would
I certainly involve the Monroe dactrlne. "
"Certainly" Is a strong worl' The Monroe
doctrine In its original all authentic farm Is
f S. . . n little vague and nat a little elastic. The
Monroe doctrine , as interpreted by Governor
Caml.belhat . Tamtniny : Hal on the Fourth
of July , Is one whIch no civilized government
best oC all ours would care to adopt. There
Is Il use In .lormaLzlng ah "ucb subjects , ar
laying dawn a prior view with reference ta a
- case af wulch the facts are not yet ascer-
tained. Our minIster at Rio Is sahl to be In
frequent communication with the Brazilian

foreiii once , but nothing
instructions. The State department at Wash-
Ington declines to express Its views publicly
on the action aC England , Ir It has any
views and rightly declines. I Is nat the
duty oC a secretary or department dealing with
delicate international aralrs to take the publicS
press Into its confidence. Mr. Dayanl , our
S ambassador to the court or St. James. has ,
1 perhaps , been less reticent. Ho Is reported
as having said that he had no enclll knowl-
SS h edie oC the alleged seizure aC the island ,
. but understood that It was wanted Car a
cable station , and thought Il just as well that
the island should bo aC some use to some-
body. Thereupon ho Is attacked In the jingo
press af America as I he had committed a
blazing indiscretion.
DAYAHD'S BHEAK CONDONgD.
Well , It Is probably always better In all
circumstances that an ambassador should be
dumb. Mr. Ba'ard's offense , however , if
offense there be , Is not what Is imputed
him. He has vet been talking to an
English , but ta an American Interviewer
and what he said was said for publication
' here and not thero. Ills jingo critics take no
; 7 - note oC that distinction . whIch nevertheless
Is Important. Nor Is there anything In the
remarks attributed to Mr. nayarl to justify
the accusation oC a leading New York jour-
nal that he has endorsed England , offended
_ Brazil and compromised the United States
1 cannot see that ho has done any one ar
these three thlugs.
Mr. liayard's views ar his duties as ambas-
saor are well known , and he has just restated -
stated them , or part eC them , In language
which does him credit.
"In my opinion , " said \ Mr. Dayan' . speak-
Ing at a dinner given In hIs hQnar ou Friday
. by the municipal authorities oC las ton -In
l England , "tho best diplomacy consists In per-
feet frankness and \ In the preventing or re-
enoving oC mlsun.lerstantlngs. "
S That , af course , will not please the firebrands -
brand who c6nceh'o that we send ambassa-
lIars to England In order to make trouble , to
foment disputes and ta breed ill-feeling be-
tween the two countries. I Is nevertheless
the true vlel-or diplomacy , the vIew accepted
abroad , a 11 the only view by which Inter-
national comity can be Ilramatell or peace
secured. I I perfectly consistent with the
dignity af the United States ar of any other
country . Sir Julan l'auncetote , the Orltsh
ambassador Washlngtan , would say the
t S same thing and act on the same theory. Those
L. tha take a different view must be prepared
r5 to own that they want not peace , but war ,
and that we send an ambassador abroad In
order ta bring about s war. Who will \'en-

WHAT WAS TIm UNDERSTANDING ?
The Interesting Interviews and articles pub-
Ishel b $ the Paris herald and Paris Figaro
have nat quite cleared up the mystery ar the
ranca-nusslan alliance , I alliance there be.
The " Its to
I"lgara frankly admits that efforts
get hall either or the treaty ar af any sur-
fclent documentary vlllenco as ta the nature - I
ture af the understanding between France
and Russia have failed. The Russian dignitary -
nlary interviewed by the Herald , an the
other hand , proved rather too much. The
energy af these two journals has provided
us with same columns af very entertaining
narrative and dialogue , but the real secrets
of European diplomacy are tao jealously
guarded to be often penelrable by the
most enterprising journalism. The fact that
the French foreign minister , M. Janotaux ,
In a speech In the Chamber ar Deputies
used tha word alliance Is the the strangest
fact we yet have ta go upon The joint
acton oC France and Russia In the cast Is
undoubtedly the result of a speoal 1 agree-
ment far that purpase. low otherwIse could
Germany have joined In I ? Or how could
an agreement made , ns the agreement be-
tween Prance and Russia Is alleged to have
been made , long before the war broke out
In the far last have covered the resulting
contingencies aC that extraordinary conflict ?
I Is Inconceivable , or I nat Incanvelvable
It Is contrary ta everything we know aC and
everything that has been conjectured as to
the relations between France and HUSbl
since the festivities oC CranstalL
ItECIPILOCAI4 ONE WAY ONLY. . .
I Is , to adapt a French phrase to politics , ,
France who loves and Russia who endures '
her embrace. I Is France who cares to
the aId of Russia In every emergency when
Russia asks her co-operation. I Is Russia
who resen the right ta judge for herself
In what circumstance she \ I side with
France ,
I this be nat a correct version oC the
underltalulng between them , It Is at least
the one whIch every European statesman :
believes ta be correct. I Is the view oC all
the best informed and mast impartial journals
of Europe The attitude aC the Husslan press
toward France , though friendly , remains In-
dependent. The attitude ot the French press
to Russia can only be described by the
ward abject. I Is painful to real , for ex-
ample , the comments oC Paris journals an
the murder ar Stambulal Assassination Is
extenuated because It Is thought ta be con-
venient to Iussla that Stambular should be
out aC the way. The French , again have
sworn many oaths that nothing should Induce
them to be round In the same boat with
Germany. Russia ICs her finger , and 10 , It

SOUTHAMPTON , Aug 3.-The prince and
princess of Wales and the duke ! oC York ar-
rived here today and opened the ' new Graving
dock , said ta be the largest dry dock In the
world and to be able to accommodate the
largest shIp afloat . Torrents or rain , how-
ever , spoiled the decorations and thoroughly
dampened the enthusiasm oCtho large crowds
Ilresent.
For rears the \arl ( oC dock extension here
has been quietly but s eadly going forward
and now the Hampshire town within eight
mies aC London has a dock area ar enormous
extent. Already the great American liners .
as wel as the largest war vessels have been
able ta warp alongslle the Empress dock ,
and now large vessels will be able ta laud
their passengers In London within two hours
af their arrival here. fly this large addition
to docking facilities ar Southampton the lrs-
est vessels can be examined and repaired
here.
The Graving dock just opened Is Immediately -
ately alongside the berths af the Paris , New
York and St. auls. Its : capacity Is over
73.000 tons and its maximum depth Is thlrty-
fIve Ceet Its width is I l.htyoeven and one-
half feet anti , the pumpll engines Car empty-
log It are the maE poweful knawn. The
guaranteed -tme for elltflng the dock Is
two hours and fifteen minutes ' which necessitates -
tat ( delivering lO tans af water per min-
ute.
Alhough the new dock Is' J open , I Is not
, yet ready for use , as"oni of the bIg pumps
Is damagel , and , must be repaired before a
large vessel can be accommodated. ' I was
originally intended to dock the New York oC
the American line today but the dimage to
the discharge pump has necessitated sending I
the New York ta Ttlbury. opposite Gravesend .
The town and docks 1ere' gaily decorated
for the occasion with nags , and bunting . but
when time special trains front London and
elsewhere , with the invited t guests arrived ,
the scene was one af darnp desolation every-
thing being deluged by rain. Alongside the
Graving dock a sumnptu' ! iuncl had been pre
pared In one or the dock houses , ta\er being
laid for 400 persons , and on time edges aC the
dock stands hal been erected , from which
the vlaltors vle\d , a best they cauld In

LONDON , Aug. -With the end oC Gaall-
wood week yesterday everybody Is looking
forward to Cowes , where the great regattas
Commence on 1Ionday and where' the Isual
bright gatherings will continue until the
end aC next week .

An unpleasant Incident Is reported In con-
uectan with the Goodwaol racing which , Ir
trIte , does mint rcdaull ta the credit or an
English sporting prInce I Is said that
there Is little doubt that Baron Il Hirch
scratchel Iemlller for the Manchestpr cup
I order to allow the prInce aC Wales' Flarl-
sel II. to win , but I Is supposed that the
prluce aC Wales was no party to the arrauge-
ment. However It 1s asserted that the
prince ' of Wales , at the beginning oC the
week , Intmatel\ to Captain lacl I , the
owner oC Havensburr , that he was especially
desirous aC winning the Ooal\aad ( cup with
lorlsel II. I Is added that lavensbury ,
which was the favorite for that event , was
thereupon scratched , all Florisel won easily
Cram Lord Penchyn's Thesalll , which borse
was only put In to make a race , there being I
only two runners. A coimservativo news-
conserv.ltve I
paper drew attention ta this rumor and then I
time radIcal SII ar this city took up the matter - !
ter , saying that the report was persistently
made at Newmarket , and adding : "U the
prince 1s correctly reprsemmtetl It would ap-
pear that he temporarily lost his beam anti
was unable ta obtain a full grasp or the
nature of the consequences af thIs action.
I Is to be haped , for the sake or the repu-
taton or the turf and or the prince ni a
sportsman and gentleman , that the rumar
will be authoritatively denied and that
Ial"ensbury will be seen at the post. "
Captain Mchl then came' out with a
denial of the story , and the prince or Wales
also heard the rumar. and It was declared
that he was greatly upset and told a friend
It was almost enough ta make him sell till
his imorites. The prince oC \Vnies' friends
explaIned the 'origIn' of the report by the
tact that the prince asked CaltRln Machel
IC i be intell \ led to run Ravensbury for the
Goadwcod cup , tImid IC so Florls 1 11. would
nat "start , as the Colt would need too stiff a
training.
CaptaIn Machel Is said > to have replied
that he had no intention of sttming Itavens-
bury. The excUse Is very plausible a 111
the opInion Is expressed In some quarters
that the prince or Wales' , simple question
may ha\'c influenced Captain Maehel nat to
run his horse far the Good waol cup.
CORNELL AFI"AI NOT FORGOTTEN. I
The Cornehl-Leander affair Is nat yet forgotten -
gotten here , and the Denver Times' comments -
ments an the cause af the collapse of the
Cornel crew He published In the news-
papers Vanrty Fair , referring to the ad-
verse cabled opInions oC the Americans ,
says : "It would really be better to realize
once for all that there Is same peculiarity
about the institutions ar the citizens of the
United States aC America , which , unrar- I
tunately , renders them Incapable af what
we cal sportslRnlke Ceelng , that IB , the
desire to win an one's merits and without
the determination to have 60 per cent the
best beCorehan.\ any cantest. Nobody
who reads time American communents on yacht-
camnents
log and an Vigilant's defeataist season will
suppose that I ValkyrIe II. wins the cup
any American or American newspaper will
allow that Watson's machine has beaten
hlerreshoff's machlno fairly on Its merits. "
These remarks oC Vanity Fair became amusIng -
log when placed beside the rumor cIrculated
about cup , the prince aC ' \ales and the Goodwoal
S
The queen will give two state banquets In
the Indian roem at Osborne , fn honor or Emperor I -
peror Wiiam af Germany , who will also be
entertained by the prince of Wales on board
the royal yacht Osborne. For these enter-
tainments a large quantity ar the crown plate
haa been seut ta Osbore from 'Indsor.
The princess oC Wales Is going to Ca\e9
far the yachting week and will then proceed
ta Copenhagen and stay with her parents ,
the king and queen aC Denmark , at Caste
Bernstorth.
According ta good authority , the marrIage

ENO.ISH AThLETES WILL COME
A representative of the Assclated press
less made Inquiries into the sensational re-
ports circulated In the United States by a
news agency , In spite ef the fact that their
accuracy ahas been repeatedly denied by
persans In authoriy here , to the erect that
the London Athletic club was hesiatng about
sending a team to meet the Now York Atim-
leHc club team. The result Is that the Ana.
elated press Is once mare authorized to deny
theie reports , which are nothing mare than
the invention af sensation immongers. I Is
true there has been ame little difficulty regarding -
gardlng the formation or. the London Athletic
club's team , but thee hal never been any
question raised which would In any way
suggest that the English athletes Intended
ta withdraw from their engagement to meet
time Americans. The only dlrerence of alJlu

A meeting oC the committee of Londoa Ath-
