Se OUR COMMON TIE {DEAS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. LONDON, October 1, 1698. Great Britain, the country which has al- ways and consistently stood for peace, the ene in which the ezar’s peace manifesto has attracted the least attention, favorably or otherwise. In Paris the mention of the man whose name two years ago was re- ceived with almost worshipful enthusiasm, fs now treated with contempt, and the papers everywhere refer to the manifesto as the czar's encyclical. In England there is no contempt and likewise no enthusiasm for the czar’s peace program. The Peace Society has, of course, received the message with delight, which it has promptly ex- pr but the public men who have given utterance to an opinion on the subject have been for the most part decidedly unfavor- able to England’s participation in any such conference as that proposed by the czar. Sir Charles Dilke is the latest of these tc give expression of his view. At his house, in Sloane street, the other day, he said to The Star correspondent, in answer to a question on this subject: The Beam in Russia’s Eye. “Frankly, it has suggested itself to me that Russia should be the first power to il- justrate her proposed program. She has the largest standing army in the world—her peace establishment comprises nearly a million men—and I confess it 1s difficult for me to understand any necessity for this overwhelming force. There is no geograph- ical or military necessity for it, so far as is apparent. Therefore it would seem that the cmpire of the cazar is in an excellent position to show the world her new ideas in actual operation. Yet, almost coin- dental with the issuing of the manifesto, comes news of an enlargement of Russian military plans which makes the prospect of the peace program seem dubious to say the least. “But, of course, if such a suggestion as this were to be made tu the world it is em- inently filting that Russia should make it. She is tho ally cf France, whereas if the ifesto had ccme from Germany, whose attitude has more thar suggested it on several occasicns, it might have appeared a3 hostile to France; in other words, as a ap to make France acquiesce in’ Ger- Many’s permanent pos: on of Alsace. A Change of Heart. “Stull there is something curious about the way this peace manifesto came. The change of front on the part of Nicholas II, which it indicates, reminds one of Lord Salisbury’s sudden flop on the occasion of the Venezuelan dispute with the United States. It is hardiy four months since the czar was considering, if not counseling, a directly opposite idea—that of combining an enormous increase of Russian naval forces with an increase of his vast standing army, “To what occult influences the sudden change is to be attributed it is, of course, impossible to say. Two causes suggest themselves, both of which may be more or less concerned. One of these is the almost unprecedented influence of the present Russian minister of finance, and his coun- sels of caution as a result of the great drain of the Siberian railroad on the na- tional treasury. The second influence may not improbably be traced to the disastrous harvests which have been experienced in Russia for the past two or three years. Obstacles in the Way. “Were England disposed to accept the sug- gestion of disarmament she would find her position a complicated one. In the first place, there is the Indian army. It is neces- sary to maintain depots for it in England, and these could not at present be de- creased. Aside from this, England’s land forces are not large if we count out those actually engaged in campaign duty inf Afri- ca, or absolutely necessary for garrison work elsewhere. “Were disarmament attempted to be ex- tended to naval as w to land forces, there would be many practical difficulties in the way. The number, size and re- sources of the existing fleets of all: the powers cannot be stereotyped. Every pro- posed change offers room for great conflict of opinion, and this, if carried into action, might, indeed, be the basis for new wars. Therefore, it appears that any formal agreement arrived at by the proposed con- ference might be a great—I may even say a dangerous—mistake. It is not logical or rational to look for a sudden transforma- tion of improvement in the existing status of things from such a theoretica! arrange- ment. Of course, some decrease of the enormous pressure of taxes in several of the continental countries may be secured by the general friendly conference of the great powers; and this, too, might be of Value incidentally in the way of a better understanding between all the nations, which would be the prelude of a happler era in the domain of international rela- tions. Anglo-American Alliance. “As for England, she has her own prob= lems to work out. These she is trying to meet in her own way. Her situa- tion is considerably different from that of any of the continental powers, and would scarcely be improved by any agreement in which she could enter with them.” “What do you think of the Anglo-Ameri- can alliance in this connection?” Sir Charles was asked. “That is a difficult question to answer, because In the usual understanding of the phrase such an alliance presupposes a union entered into in view of wars or other which may menace one or both This sort of an alliance | do not believe to be at all probable between the two great English-speaking countries. I do not undervalue the deep significance of the present entente cordiaie between our two countries, but any future alliance between Great Britain and the United States would probably have to be preceded by an agree- ment or some practical action on the part of the former guaranteeing the fair treat- ment of Ireland, and any new cause of 14- feceling between England and Ireland would be the immediate cause of a break in this Anglo-American alliance. Of course, maay of your people, and mune, too,*for that matter, would deny this, but I ‘hold their view to be a practical one. { do not mean to say that America is morally or practically pledged to the cause of Irish freedom, but I do believe from a long and careful study of conditions and sentiment in America that there is a strong morai opinion back of America’s sympathy for the Irish cause, and that this attitude will continue. Cleser and More Friendly, “There is no reason to doubt, however, that the international relations between Great Britain and tks United States may continually grow closer and more friendly. There is no probability that the United States has any idea of ever interfering with our possessions In Canada, and Lord Salisbury’s extraordinary and breathless change of front regarding the Venezuela question compelled us to accept henceforth the leadership of the United States in all policies relating to America. Nor is this Position likely to change. The Clayton-Bul- wer treaty is dead, you know. “The Anglo-American alliance may. pos- sibly be the outcome of either one or two things. The most obvious is that, In case any European power should attack Amer- ica, by any unforeseen result of her war with Spain, we, in this possibility, should espouss her cause and assist her in enforcing her policy. But this possibility is remote. I can think of no conceivable itstance at ail likely to occur save the im- probable one that France might~régaré this.as a favorable opportunity to’ seize pertions. of Morocco (which she has ‘tong coveted), but even then I doubt if -the United States would regard it scrinusly enough to make it a casus "belli. ~~. * “Mew That Bind. gis other posyjbility, for a formal An- “The «lo-American alliance ts a far more interest-| oy . | Imported Hats Reduced to $15 From § {At the Palais Royal).

Tne vital relations between the two great English- speaking peoples are those of thought and moral purpose. Our intellectuiil life and our religious life are one. Ideas, perhaps, 1 may say also ideals, are our common tle, Our literature 1s a common bond. N tion always follows ideas unde fact of our mutual literary and ethi ideas conduces so inevitably to cammon ac- ‘tion that this may be taken for gPanted in the future, wholly without’ any formal declarations. It ig.one of those trends of Life that follow great natural laws. The precipitation of some great moral question might create and fuse a formal dectaration of alliance at.onee—such a question, for instance, 2s Unat of the Armenian atrocities, which should vitally touch the religious feeling of both peoples. It is from the close relations of moral sentiments rather than from ary consideration of political ad- vantages that the Anglo-American alliance may at last be expected to come.” ———— ALL HIS BONES BROKEN. Remarkable Serie» of Accidents to an ° English Collier. From the Laneet. ¢ £ As might naturally be expected from his hazardous occupation, the collier is fre- quently injured by Accidents underground. But the following particulars deserye, I think, a space in thg Lancet because of the strange series of fractures sustained by the man, us well as the remarkable coincidence in the date of their occurrence. A man, aged' forty-four years, short and well built, was first attended by me on Au- gust 26, 1800, for. a.compound fracture of the left leg, resulting from a portion of the roof or top falling ‘and striking him while following tts employment in Risca col- lieries. The’ patient made an uninterrupted recovery and was able in about six months to resume his work underground. The patiént’s previous ‘history, told by ‘mselt and corroborated by-others, is very rarkable. With the exception of an at- tack of typhoid fever, whicn he had when ; elghteen years of uge, and two or three at- tacks of qtinzy ‘subséquently, he had not suffered bedily in any way. He was al- ways very temperate and for avout eight- een years a total abstainer..But his mis- fortunes in the mine were many and are remarkable from the fact that they all hap- pened on the Y6trQiny9pr August. Here is his record: At thé age of ten years he fractured: His rigHt:inlfex finger. It hap- pened on Auguste. /When thirteen years old he fractured: His leg below the knee through failing ftom’ horseback, also on August 26. Whert/feurteen years of age he fractured both bé#es’ éf the left forearm by stumbiitg,-ais %rnfistriking the edge of @ brick, “August '26. ‘#4 another year, on August 26,when hea of age, he had compound fracturé ofthe left’ leg above the ankle by his eing caught under aa iren rod and Hts bédy” ae Rorweed ext year, again @h’thd'same date, August 26, he had’ compowkd ftacture of both legs, the right being so Sevtrely crushed that it had to bé amputated at the lower third of the thigh: This ‘was "@aus®@ by a horse, hitched to a tram of c#al, Which, running wild underground? ¢au@ht him in a narrow passage, crushing@betN!legs severely.
