Some faults that are Uraormost
In the Minds of the Britlsbsrs.
LONDON, December 16-"The Unit-
ed States have many noble. men, but
no one of conspicuous merit." This
statement appears in the Daily Mail
Your Book. issued to compete with
"Whittakcr'a Almanack" under the
section devoted to the world's chief
statesmen. While it is not an inspired
or a particularly erudite publication. it
unfortunately represents the bulk of
press public opinion in England. Noth~
ing so well explains the attitude of the
English press toward American action
in Nicaragua, China. and other quar-
ters of the globe as this crude revela-
tion of its estimate of American pub-
lic men. it in this undelyiug though
seldom expressed belief which pill“
meates the editorials now so frequent-
ly devoted to the policy of the Wash-
ington government. How utterly this
is at variance with the opinion oi the
foreign office. and the highest govern-
ment officials here is apparent from
the fact that in almost every recent
case where the English papers have at-
temptcd to advise or to forecast the at-
titudo of their government towards
. propositions suggested by’ the United
States. they have taken exactly the
opposite line from the course eventual-
ly pursued by Lord Salisbury. and the
Marquis oi Laundowue. This lat-k of
sympathy between the administration
leaders and the administration papers
seems to broaden daily. lieuce. While.
the nurse of English comments on the.
Nicaragua (lanai question umlouhtedly
represents the views of u largo section
of the public. it must not be considered
in any way official or oven semi-
official.
A special cable desputcb from Wash-
ington complains that the London des-
patcboa dealing With the Nicaragua
Canal do not give any indication of
the views of Lord Luuadownc, the Mar-
quis of Salisbury or any authoritative
person. it may be said that Lord
Lansdowno has been given every op-
portunity to communicate his viewson
the matter. but he has definitely rc-
fuscd. remarking that he did not wish
to attempt to interfere. covertly or oth-
erwise. in the formation of American
public or legislative opinion. He has
not even discussed the canal in his fro-
qucnt conferences this wash with Am-
bassador Choote. Great Britain's do.
ciaion. doubtless, will be arrivod at
only after a cabinet conference. What
Lord Lansdowne will advise his fellow
cabinet ministers to do depends" on-
. tirely on the dual shape in which the
treaty is returned.
The dreary prospect of interminable
war in South Africa and increased tax-
ation at home. is no deterrent to
Christmas asiety. The chaos and mor-
kets are brighter than over. gay
throngs fill the streets, business is at
to‘plnotch and the tinctures are crowd-
et. ’
Thousands of people are proparinr.

The number of spots-
tors of the march to St. Paul's of
"Bobs," accompanied by the Prince of
Wales on January ii. is likely to break
all records. The officials are already
besieged for tickets for the Thanksglw
ins service and window owners are
anxiously awaiting the announcement
of the line of march.
The British Admiralty has barely
wakcncd up to the importance of sub-
marine and similar methods of war-
fare. it has arrande latest the in-
vention for steering torpedo and sub-
marine hosts by man of the wireless
telegraphy operatptf‘tby Mr. A. C.
Higgs. the United States consul at
Weyrnouth. The United States naval
attache, Commander Clover. is follow-
ing up the matter closely. Germany
has made an offer for the German
rights.
The invention has been considerably
altered since it was first shown to the
(lermuu government. The inventor
now expresses the ll‘cllef that the den-
ger of interference. or "jamming" as
it is technically culled. has been elim-
inated. As recent Marconi experi-
ments prove. instruments not exactly
tuned to the same note can have no in-
fluence over others, regardless of the
power of the batteries. Mr. lligga pro-
vides each torpedo with a different
note and directs it from a ship or the
land. on or under water, towards the
object it is desired to destroy. by
means of the slime current whereby
wireless messages are transmitted.
According to Sir Clements Mark-
ham. president of the Royal Geograph
ical Society, Americans are rcspousl‘
hie for forming a corner in Polar dogs:
and the pending British and other Arr-
tlo expeditions are confronted with a
difficulty nearly as great as that of the
ice fields. it appears that Mr. E. B
llaldwin,- the American explorer. has
bought up such a large supply of dogr
that their price has’ risen from $18 to
$30. and they are hard to procure even
at that price. Mr._ lialdwln says he
has no more dogs than he needs. He
foresaw the scarcity and bought enriy

Tho heaviest wind and rain storm in
the history of the state raged for half
an hour yesterday afternoon. One wo-
man was killed near Ballnas and the
damage to property will be consider-

companies suffered severely and for
several hours service was completely
suspended. The greatest damage done
to the wires was between this city
and Benlcln, where the wind from San
Francisco bay thud ’a full sweep. in

in Oakland the greatest force of the

and telgraph connection with San
