to raise his flag IN the Rarltan. 1t Is not probable
that he will resign his commission in the Anerl-
can navy, or return to Germany, although he has
been offered the commission of admiral IN the

observer seems to be impressed with the prosperi-
y che enjoys, and the destiny to which she Is ra-
pldly ascending.
