This was to have been expected, for past experience has shown that when a monarch got tired of ruling he insured his life lavishly andf exposed himself to the king-killers. They did the rest, saving him the embarrass- ment of suicide. They gave him the glory| of martyrdom instead. The attempt on the czar's life by polson was not calculated to allay the panic in the board rooms of the insurance companies. Attacks upon the| rich, ltke that upon Uncle Russell Sage,! gave the directors of several great cor-| porations much food for subsequent thought and the, have serfously contemplated a special rate for risks on the lives of| millionaires The introduction of the naptha launch| and the gasoline automobile has increased the hazard on the rich.

The oasts were strewn with wrecks, commerce was out of Joint and the public was bitterly digesting | the criticism of the British army. The de- mand for Major General Sir Henry E. Col- ville's resignation, thrown as a sop, only served to whet the ravenous appetite of those who are howling for the responsibility of the reverses In South Africa belng brought home to individuals. More heads are demanded. Where so many must be blamed, it is felt that the selection of Gen- eral Colville is woetully inadequate, if not unfair. Indeed it is already said that had not the yemonary force at Lindley, which Colvllle falled to relieve, included some of the nobility and other influential persons, Colville would never have been recalled. The bitterness felt by these yeomanry at being compelled to surrender because, as they allege, Colville refused to render the ald within his power, has never died out and it probably will result in one of the most interesting court-martials in the annals of the British army, upon the re- sult of which will depend the fate of several other high officers, who have proved unequal to the occasion.

The trip has undoubtedly had an ex- cellent political effect. The Stuttgart Schwaebische Mercur, the semi-official pa- per of Wurtemburg, temarks that the re Iations with the imperial government have later grown somewhat strained and adds that Count von Buelow’s object was to re- store the former cordlality, which he has fully succeeded in dolng. “Hereafter," contlnues the paper mentioned, “its South German governments will have a proper participation in imperial affairs.” Nevertheless, the Pan-German press con-, tinues to attack Count von Buelow. The Rhoinlsche-Westphaelissche Zeltung, na- tional liberal, accuses the chancellor of hanging on to Great Britain's skirts and expresses fear that this may involve Ger- many in complications with Russia and France.
