meet hie mother, and !further resolved to
teach her that elle could not enter into
'hie life. in ann 7ay whatever.
His heart had hardened towards her.
In the beginning Mrs. Marnock had told
him en titat memorable last in.terview
which had taken place bebtveen them, Ju-
lian had made a vb.ole sacrifice of hie life
for his mother's sake. Ile had etood by
her meet ohivelroutsly. Be lad iburdened
hinaiseef with her obligations; he had be-
haved eery- generously. But when she
had married -a second time andeMe had
!become easy for her, moreover, when the
opportunity bad been given her to at
generously in her turn towards him elite
had failed miserably; and oddly enough
it .was his another% hard words about
Enid which made the man so bitter now
in. hie tlioughts of lier.
He did not even tell Stephens that he
was in London. Be bad no need ee a ser -
'tante in lea, he preferred to be quite
alone; but he -wrote to Mr. Pleydell and
begged !the lawyer to see him es soon go
posseble.
The first part of his interview with Mr.
Pleydell vas easy enough, tor in thie Ita-
lian. dealt entirely •witb the queat,ion. of
his another. •
"I authorize emu," he said to the law-
yer, "to aoqueent my another with the tact

a spirit of friendship, and affords no
basis for war talk, for it had been
received in the same spirit.
The treatment of neutral ship-
ping by belligerent nations is always
a very delicate subject, and one re-
quiring the best minds, thorm.ghly
trained in the field of international
law and diplomaey, to adjust. It
will be recalled that troubles arose
over shipping between this country
and Great Britain during our great
Civil War, and which were not set-
tled till long after the' war had
ceased.
Though differing somewhat in
character from those oited in the
protest to Great Brits4n this week,
they held a genuine threat of war,
a true eausus bellus, for the reason
that it was then openly *barged that
Great Britain was purposely aiding
the Confederacy in its efforts to de-
stroy the shipping of the North.
There is no sueh elaira or eontention
involved in the present protest.
The old controversy was peacefully
settled, and the two countries have
ever since remained on the most
friendly. terms. There is nothing
now existing that approaches the
seriousness of the. Alabama claims
and the dispute that arose out of
them.
By Chas. N. Bien, Denver, Colo.
Perhaps no single incident of the
great war has awakened more in-
terest -in the two great English-
speaking nations than the protest
filed by the United States against
the treatment of Ainefican shipping
by the British fleet.
The despatches also ,inclicate that
the protest is arousing keen inter-
est across the Wiaters, as the matter
is being widely disoussed in the
public press. As indicating the
deep interest involved, a special
meeting of the British Cabinet has
been called to consider the protest,
and this morning's papers declare
the Cabinet near to disruption in
the debate on the subject.
In this country among a certain
class, there is a suspithon thatiun-

I have no doubt that this country
will insist upon full reparation for
any real damage done to American
shipping, caused -by any unwarrant-
ed interference of the British fleet;
and I am equally certain that Bri-
tish justice will gladly recompense
for such damages, when duly es-
tablished.
It is quite inevitable that the
fleet should wrongfully -detain some
shipping in its eagerness to find
contraband goods and prevent them
reaching the enemy, and to this end
no doubt the war fleet has been in:-
structed to detain and search ves-
sels suspected of having contraband
artieles aboard, or conditional con-
traband intended for the enemy.
It looks as though the reel ques-
tion at issue is, regarding the treat-
ment of conditional. contraband
goods. That -this should be treated
exactly as absolute contraband arid
seized and conveyed to British
ports for disposition, works a very
great hardship upon shippers. But
even so, I have no doubt that Great
Britain is willing to co-operate with
this country,. and With every- other
country, in Irving strictly up to the
laws of nations in their treatment
of neutral Shipping. The protest is
only a business precedure between
two friends, who have been fore-
most in preserving the peace of the
world. That they 'should forget their
friendship and undertake to settle
their business differences by • the
sewronyoni.s too ridiculous for eonsid-
The period that has elapsed singe
the treaty of Ghent was signed WO
years ago on Ohristnias eve, has not
been without acute crises in the re-
aations of England and the United
States. Had England pursued -a
polky ,of callous greed, she might
easily have made the preservation
of the Union impossible in 1861,-66
by intervention on behalf Of the
Confederacy; and again in 1898 she
might have formed a 'coalition with
8.pain. That these things were not
done shows the strength of the bond .,..,
between the two nations. Many r
