Important Government Policy Hig Dictation. SATISFIED WITH THE KING. -- APPROVE EDWARD VII'S FIRST YEAR AS RULER. Has Maintained Queen Victoria's "Reconciliation of Democracy And Empire"--Has Kept Strictly Within the Limita- tions of His Royal Preroga- tives. London, Jan. 27.--~'One year of king Edward" is a subject much dis- cussed. and the chief note of comment: is one of thankiulpess that the hing has maintained what queen Victoria established, "the reconciliation of de mocracy and empire." To use the words of the loyal Spectator: " It would be unjust to say that there is any surprise in the public mind that the king should have confined himself so strictly within the limitations of his royal prerogatives, which bis pre: decessor so scrupulously observed. It in pogfeetly true that the king has not manilested the slightest disposition to usurp any power or authority outside of scope of queen Victoria's well- known policy. His subjects' grateful acknowled ut of bis restraint sig- nifies nothing more than the inherent English jealously of popular liberties coupled with the strangeness to the present generation of the functions conndcied with the demise of the crown." The average Englishman, however, likes to be told, as the Spectator to- day. reminds him, that "the sovereign of that royal republic, the British em- pire, does not old within his hands such powers of producing rapidly co- lossal results for good or evil -- es: wcially evil--as are attached to the ardships of the Russian and German empires, or even to the presidency of the United States. By obstinate ad- herence with the full force of his au- thority to any single false initiative aly one of those potentates could al- most at any moment plunge not only his own country, but the whole world into calamities, which could not be repaired in generations. It is not so with the British monarchy. Our sys- tem checks and balances and makes it practically impossible that any imme- diate pos § irrevocable determination of workl-wide issues should rest with any individual, however masterful; and if any exception should be made to this observation it would not re late to any conceivable occupant - of the throne." It should not be inferred from cither of these comments that king Edward has been a mere figurehead of Bai ish empire for the past year. 4% @ very practical truth that lord Salishury's ministry has had to reck- on with the king on many a matter of important government policy. It is no secret that his majesty stren- nously desives early peace in South Africa. This does not imply, of course, any sympathy with the so- called pro-Boer party of any wish to make concessions which his country would regard as humiliating or which would interfere with the policy of 'an all-British South Africa. Two months ago, the king had hopes that the war might be brought to a close before the end of the year. Now he a con: siderable donfidence, of which re- cently gave public intimation, that peace is. not far off and it is well known that he will be grievously dis appointed if fighting has not ceased before Eis coronation. ENGLAND'S AID. Needed Ammunition Came From English Ports. London, Jan. 37.--It is a flattering and not an altogether becoming spec- tacle which the English and European press presents in discussing the ques- tion of the attitude of he various governments towards the United States on the eve of and during the Spanish war. Never perhaps was there such a confusion of contradictory tat ts, all made with the desire to prove at least benevolent neutrali- ty of the eounts¥ of their origin o- ward America. x The most important fact of sis, tuation fs ignored in the dis- cussion, the almost unanimous anti American public sentiment on the continent, but to the substantial aid and comfort furnished to the = two combatants from nominally neutral countries. No serious harm will be done at this late day by meking known that the disastrous shortage of ammuni- tion of the United States was cancel PITH OF THE NEWS.

And y Prior Fires on Robbers And Fights Till Badly Wounded--Lay Bro- ther Kills One Of the Thieves Gendarmes Arrive In Time To Save Valuable Altar Vessels. London, Jan. 27.--Here is a typical Neapolitan story which has the merit of being scrupulously accurate. A small band of brigands had been trou- bling the country side only a few mi es from Naples. The other night the miscreants conceived the bold idea of pillaging the Franciscan mon- astory, which was believed to contain much wealth, including golden altar vessels in the About midnight, the brigands, with the aid of ladders, scaled two lofty walls and entered the monastery through the windows. The monk keeping vigil gave the alarm and the monks, pumbering about a dozen, bar- ricaded themselves in their cells and started praying. The brigands storm- ed each cdl in turn, gagged each in mate and finally attacked the vepe rable prior. He stoutly refused to surrender, and as the' doors of his room were also stout the brigands were not able to force them. It hap- pened that the prior had a revolver which he used to good advantage when presently the brigands appeared at his window. The unequal combat ended hy the prior falling badly wounded and the brigands then pillaged the monastery at their leisure. Fortunately an alarm telling that the gendarmes were com- ing prevented them from entering the chapel. As they retired with their booty an aged servitor, a lay brother, whe had been hidden in the garden, fired wix shots with his revolver, When the gendarmes tardily arvived it was dis covered that the lay brother had dis- played lay skill in the use of his we cular weapon, for the body of a dead brigand was stretched under a bush and traces of blood along the route of the brigand's flight showed that others had been wounded. The good 'prior had also wounded at least a couple. As soon as the voung king of Italy heard of the affair he instructed the minister of the interior to send the prior a gold medal with a suitable inscription recording the occasion of his valor. FIGHTS TWO PEELERS. One Policeman Has a Finger Bit. ten OF Short. London, Jan. 27.--A desperate battle with a burglar was fought by twe arnwd poli emen in the Catholic church of hanturk, county Cork. Many churches in the south of Ire land have recently been robbed, and for severul nights past a watch 'has been set. in the church at Kanturk, On Saturday night police constables Sullivan and Horan secreted them- selves in the building to wait for the robber, on the chance that he might make a visit. is The hours of night and early morn: ing passed without disturbance, and then at four o'clock a massive, mus cular forin appeared in the church Without any idea that he was watch ed, the man proceeded to dewpoil one of the altars, The police suddenly sprang from their hiding place and tried to take him captive. But he was stronger than either of them, and turned to fight for his liberty. The constables closed with the robber, and, a fierce struggle began. At one moment it seemed that the police were to have him safe, but just then he caught Sullivan's left fore finger in his teeth and snapped it off. Constable Horan ' decided that the time had come to shoot. Di rding the sacred surroundings, he pulled out his revolver and fi at the fellow. The bullet missed the mark, and the burglar pounced upon Horan with such sudden daring that he was able to wrench the weapon from his grasp. Using it as a bludgeon, he beat Horan unmercifully till be was well nigh insensible. ullivan by this time had recovered from his surprise. He again tackled the fellow, and kept him fighting till Horan was able to rejoin the- fray. - Fortunately the situation allowed the marauder little chance of making a dash for freedom, and the police struggled on till he too became ex- hausted, and at last he was over and made prisoner.
