Dominions, he had been imprudent enough to enum crate them-Canita, Australia. New Zea land, South Africa, and (in a slightly different category) India. A day or two later the Dean of Westminster was deing s best to make amends in a letter in the berration, Times. By an by an inexplicable slip of that gallant. 4 accountabl
