the efforts of ship builder ; , syndicates aad

to further extension of empire and they are
roeeivtag notable evidence of popular ap

already high ; itKill prot bly be put on

working classes will make life a burden for
the jingoes and drive them from power.
An interesting and Instructive feature cf
the letter Is the writer's explanation of the
sudden oonerslon of British newspapers and
public men into supporters of American im
perialism. He Eayg-
"Your newspapers have beu told with per-
clstent reiteration that the people of Eng
land were all In favor of the war with Spain
and with the annexation by the United Slates
of all the Spanish colonies They were also
told that the English did not desire this
result for any Interests or their own , but
solely for the good of the American people.
whom they loved so dearly Sow , as to the
first of these potnu. I was in Italy when the
war began , but I saw the leading London
newspapers and I am prepared to say that
they were not friendly to America at that
time. The majority of them had been oppos
ing Intervention In Cuba on the part of the
United States for years Until the war had
actually begun I do not hesitate to assert
and I call as witness the files of the chief
London Journals that not three articles had
ever been written here In support of Ameri
can intertention In Cuba. I go still fur
ther. The columns of such papers as the
Times. Standard , Globe , St. James Gazette ,
right up to the war ( still more the headlines
ot their dally posters ) show either a cold
neutrality or nn obvious sneaking ympathy
with Spain , which it was thought not polite
to parade openly I had been struck by
this Just before leaving for Italy and I know.

11 Commons , which was Intended to be similar
to the pro-southern faction there during the
civil war. 1 met the chief man of the faction
at the office of a very Important newspaper.
where he was trying to enlist the support of
the editor , who himself told me the fact.
Sudden Coni T lon.
"When In May 1 returned from Italy the
entire situation had changed Tory news
papers like the Globe and St- James Ga-
tette , which had rarely mentioned the
United States without sneers or abuse , were
enthusiastic In behalf of "our American
brethren. " As Sir Aanthony Absolute sa > s
as to the change in his son's disposition , it
wras 'd d sudden , ' so sudden as to be sus
picious. What was the meaning ? Well ,
England had got into the position as Mr.
Goschen had put it , of 'splendid isolation '
And the splendor was not striking her quite
BO much as the isolation. It was a cold
time for thelmperlallsts , and they sadly
needed a friend. It was discovered that
the United States would make a very good
friend , especially as the war. It was per
ceived , would Involve her deeper In Pa
cific problems , and that was precisely
where England , as Russia's chief opponent ,
needed a friend. The newspapers Instantly
began to work on those lines. The Chron
icle and the Spectator made a remarkable
discovery which was utilized for all It was
worth. That discovery was that every con
tinental power was hostile to America , but
that England was her friend anS that she
alone prevented a great European combina
tion against America. Xow. I made in
quiries when in Italy as to the feeling there ,
and I found that , while all the true liberals
and republicans lamented the war. there
never was a thought ot Intervention. In
reply to a friendly correspondent. Dr. An
drew D. White , your envoy at Berlin , said
that the attitude ot the German government
Jf had always been friendly , no matter what
6orne of the German newspapers might say.
Count Cassinl contradicted the statement
In behalf of Russia , as did General Porter
ter in behalf of France. There remained
only the sentimental attachment of Austria
for Spain , which was purely platonic , aad
the interests of the French holders of Span
ish bonds , which , however , must be sepa
rated entirely from the attitude of the
French government.
K a MUtnUe.
"As to the feelirs here in favor of Amer
ica taking over the Spanish possessions :
The great majority of persons here know
and care nothing about the subject , and
there are not 2 per cent of the population
who could tell where the Philippines were.
As to those who do know and care , 1 b.ive
made it a point to ask for opinion , and I
do not know one person for whose opinion
I have any respect who does not think that
the United State * Is making a mistake.
Ten months ago I talked with Mr. Court
ney , by far our most honest public man. on
this point , and be felt so strongly that be
contributed an article to an American Jour
nal arguing strongly against annexation. &s
well aa against an Anglo-American alli
ance deliberately Intended to involve the
two peoples in a Joint jingo enterprise. Mr
Morley takes the same vie * . So doea Sir
Wilfrid Lawson , so does Mr. Laboucbere ,
so does Frederic Harrison , so do all the
sober and peace-loving men here And who
nre thote who are so fond of 'our American
brethren' when once they have launched
into the problems of the brown and yellour
races and taken up the 'white man's bu--
den ! ' Lord SalUbury himself was a bitter
enemy of the union In the civil war , as was
bis present colleague , the duke of Devon
shire , who wore seee&elonUt colors at a
ball In New York la 1S6I , or thereabouts ,
and I am credibly Informed that ore of Mr
Chamberlain's earliest speeetiee In Blr-
cilngham was in favor of the southern cause
When the tried friends of the United States
eland on one side and on the ether are per
sons and papers that have never shown oon-
epicuaus friendliness , to say the least , what
conclusion 'fhould be drawn ty a rational
observer ? Sudden conversions are suspicious
particularly Rhe-a circumstances show thr-m
to be connected wlt& some iery obvious
self-interest.

her In Iron and steel production , and is
beating her in other fields My own shoe

German steel is actually coming Into the

England Is nowhere. Indian competition
haa killed the coarser ? brics In tbe Lan

was calculated that England would for cen
turies to come retain her position as the
chief industrial center of the world , and
the calculation Is turning out wrong. But
instead of setting her own house In order
and rehablll'atlng domestic Industries and
domestic markets , the foolish attempt has
been made to rush markets abroad by
wholesale annexation The attempt has
failed , and hence the troublous future which

Interest and that she was the only legal ben
eficiary. The case ias argued at some length
and with a copious ehow o ! authorities. The
result is a defeat for the plaintiff
Judgre Slabaugh decides that the South
Dakota law refers to the insured and not to
the beneficiary , that an assignment by the
latter after the death of the Itsured Is per-
fectlj proper and that the aj-slcntnent In this
case Is consequently lepal He goes further
and holds that under the Iowa law an affi

ficiary In a fraternal Insurance policy , and
that Miss Gands has no rights in the cas
whatever. She consequently loses all inter
est in tie Insurance and Johnson obtains the
entire amount.

The Acme Lighting company has sued the
city of Omaha for gasoline lighting bills that
aggregate Jl 503 12 and alleged Interest that
amounts to JS1 ? 10 The Acme company is
the assignee of a concern that obtained a
two-year gasoline lighting contract in Janu
ary , 1S9S The lights were put in at a very
low figure and It was asserted at the time
that good service could not be given at that
price. The company proceeded to plant
pests and Install the lights at the points
designated by the major and council and
for some time the service was very un
satisfactory. Complaints that lights _ were
not burning came to the city hall by the
hundred and after some vigorous repre
sentations on the part of the municipal au
thorities the company thoroughly reorgan
ized Its service and put it on a more satis
factory basis. But in the meantime the
council had made some material deductions
from its bills on account ol the alleged
failure of fulfill the terms of the contract
and the lighting company refused to accept
the warrants unless their bills were allowed
In full. The city stood pat and the suit is
the result. The bulk of the deductions ap
ply on 'a single month , as after the re
organization the service has been fairly
satisfactory.
DrlKOoHN Claim Knocked Oat.
The damage case of Katherin Driscoll
against the city of South Omaha , which iw
been the g'ibjec : of much litisatlon and inci
dentally of seme little scandal in municipal
circ'es , has been apparently fought to a con
clusion In the equity court , where Judge
Dickinson has granted the application of J
O Owens and J B. Sniiley for a permanent
injunction , by which the city is restrained
from levying taxes to pay the claim
Mrs. Drlscoll'c claim has been before the
public for several years , and it has figured
prominently in several political campaigns
She alleged that she had been Injured by a
fall on account cf a defective sidewalk and
presented a claim for damages. Notwith
standing the fact that the claim was not
flled within ninety days , as required by la-w ,
th city council of South Omaha allowed
her ? 2,500 As the claim was purchased
about that time by Thomas Hector , then
city treasurer , for a comparatively small
amount , tie action of the council was gen
erally criticised and charges cf fraud were
circulated.
Erntually Mrs. Driseoll died , and John
M. Shanrahan , as administrator of her es
tate , turned up with a claim to a part of
the money. Several efforts were made to
induce the council to pay the claim , but
without result , and Shanrahan finally
brought mandamus proceedings In the dis
trict court. At that time it was decided
that the city council had waived Its rights
and haj no option but to pay the amount
Then Owens and Smiley came Into court to
protect their rights as taxpayers , with the
result stated above. Judge Dickinson , In
his opinion , severely criticised the action of
the city council in allowing the claim , which
he characterized as a fraud on the taipay-
ns. He ruleJ that the administrator has no
more rights in the premise * than Mrs. Dris-
ccll had , and that if It had not been for
the negligence of ths municipal authorities
In failing to protect the interests of the tax
payers fhe could ne er have collected a
dollar Tie mayor and council had not ful
filled their obligations and knowing all the
.facts they permitted a fraud to be perje-
trated He consequently decided that the
writ of Injunction snould issue.

In the trial of John Dell-bridge , charged
orlth resisting Offlcer Hudson when he was
arrested March 21 , Judge Gordon unwit
tingly fined the defendant fJ3 and costs on
a motion to dismiss and before the defense
had offered any testimony at all Then , to
square the case , on motion of City Prosecutor
cuter Miller , he suspended the sentence and
released Dellbridge.
Officers Hudson and Heelan. according to
their testimony , were ordered by Captain
Donahue to pick up Dellbridge and bring
him in Hudson found him and told him to
consider himself under arrest Dellbridge
asked him what he was charged with and
Hudson responded that the captain wanted
to see him. Dellbridge resitted arrest and
gave the officer a hard tussle After the in
troduction of this tenlaony the attorney
for the defeat * mo\ed to dismiss on the
ground that the ordinance under which the
offense was alleged did not empower an
officer to arresi a man under instructions
of a superior oQcer without a warrant aad
that the officer hlmeelf must be cognizant of
eome oflente with which the man was
charged or at least suspected. Instead of
ruling on the motion to dismiss Judge Gor
don fined Dellbridge. who was sent to Jail.
Whea the error ws discovered the court
order * ! him brought tack for a reversal of
the decision , which developed Into a ms-
pension of sentence. Judge Gordon said ,
however , that h * doubted the authority of

three heavily armed burglars who broke Into
and robbed the postofflce and a store at
Xorth Falrfjeld a few niehts ago
The three ixurglars were tracked to a barn
four and a half miles from FairSeld by
the print of new rubber boots in the mud
When found the men were sound asleep in

when they were awakened by the loud call
of Hoyt to get up and coaw along with him.
which request WES supplemented by a
cocked rifle near their ieaili The cool

Contractors on the new union depot are
enjoying all the felicities accompanying a
strike It Is not a large affair at present ,
but It has great possibilities ahead of it.
Ths tenders to the masons , fometimes re
ferred to as the hod-carriers , have quit
work. They have been receiving 17 cents
an hour for eight hours. They felt they
were entitled to more and fixed iO cents as
the proper sum , alleging that amount -was
paid for similar work by other contractors
j in the city. They were only paid once ! n
'
'mo weeks and decided tiat interval should
be cut in two. They held a meeting and ap
pointed a committee of one to wait upon the
contractors and lay the grievances of the
tenders before them.
The committee , in pursuance o ! the duties
imposed , called at th office. He b gan his
story and when tie subject of grievance
was mentioned he was instantly Informed
that hU services w ould no longer be required
at the depot. He reported this action to hii
associates and itaas embodied at once
among the other grievances , the men de-
| clarmg they would not confer upon anv
other stfbject unt'l this man WEB replaced
upon the pay roll
The contractor supplied their places with
other men , and then it is said the britk-
layers refused to work with their new help
All this occurred Saturday afternoon , and
yesterday none of the men were at work
In fact all the labor being performed on the
building was confined to a few men engaged
in placing the Iron arches In position for
the long shed
At the office of the contractor nothing
could be learned of the situation As an ex
cuse for the bricklayers not being at work
it was said the weather was too cold , and
no attempt had been made to start the
work. It is understood , however , that the
local manager Is communicating with the
main office in Chicago as to the course to
pursue.
Last fall the bricklayers had a similar
conflict with the contractors , although work
at that time was not discontinued. They
demanded they should be palcl every week ,
and the contractors , after some parleying ,
consented to the change During January
differences again developed with a portion
of the bricklajers who were brought from
Chicago , and taey were allowed to quit ,
which they did , and left the city. The ques
tions involved did not affect the labor or
ganization and they * nded with the retire
ment of the dissatisfied element.
OMAHA'S NEW POSTMASTER
3Ir. Crow Will Step Into Office About
April 1 and A111 f.li e n Bond
of Onlr * 1NOOI.
It Is not known to a certainty when Post
master Crow will assume his duties , as be
Is absent from the city , but It Is the gen
eral opinion that he will take charge of
the affairs of the office about April 1 , as
Euclid Martin , the old postmaster , has de
clared hli Intention to get out of the oSce
on that date In order to give hU undivided
attention to his private business.
The bond that will be required of tbe
new postmaster will te much less than has
been required of the men who have preceded
him Heretofore the bond of the Omaha
j postmaster has been ft O.GOO , but from now
'on ' it will be only UW.OOO , a greater por-
1 uon of which may be provided for by a
surety company , one which has been ap
proved by the authorities at Washington
The reason for the reduction of the bonl
from J2&C.OOO to 51&0.000 is accounted for by
| reason of the fact that heretofore the ein-
of the u 5ce bare given toad to tbe
! postmaster and he has been responsible for
their conduct and acts In tbe future these
employes will give bond direct to the Unite !
States , which in a measure , it is said , will
