TO-DAY,-16th January. It is interesting, now that. Dr. Jameson ha 9 p.m.-Meeting of Persevanace Lodge been released, to learn what our cousins lo 19.15 pm-Smoking Concert at the City Hall. America have to say on the subject, The San Francisco Chronicis in an editorial says: "The oplaton is pretty general in this country, and pro. bably not less so in England, that Dr. Jameson furnishes an example of the law of vicarious atonement. In other words, the right man has not been in prison. Who that right man is British justico la not blessed enough to deler- mine. But no one likes to see a bravo man suffer for the sins of a man not brave enough to take the responsibility of his own action.

Another American journal note that the London Correspondent of the N.Y. Time says

Then the Yankee begins, "To be sure !
