TOUCHING INCIDENT.

In the hand of the King dwelleth power and
mercy"
1t Is we'll known fact throughout the world
that however lenient and forgiving Rex may be
as regards other offenses. he is prompt to pun
lsh with the greatest severity any breach oil
m lltary discipline. and at oncs degrades any
soldier who Is found lacking In courage; yet
from the plain Of Ascaon there comes a story
that would seem to give the broadcast contradic-
ton to these facts.
While the King. as he sometimes does was
strolling through his camp. he found an Inn
portant post deserted by its sentinel Rex
without giving any alarm. took the spear OF
the recreant watcher. which had evidently been
cast aside In hurry. and assumed the role of
warden.
When the hour to relieve the guard arrived,
Rex exchanged the password Of the night. and
retired without being discovered.
At an early hour next morning, he had the
delinquent soldier sought out and brought be-
fore him. There Is only one sentence for such
an off nse-death within the hour-and this
WIS passed.
The poor fellow. whom Rex recognized as
one Of the bravest among his followers heard
his doom. and turning to the King begged
leave 10 speak with him alone for moment.
The request was granted. Minutes heightened
into an hour, and when at length the two came
forth there was pity. not ernnesS In thet eyes
of the King, ana hope ami Joy had taken tne
Rex had pardOned the man of battle. for the
sake of the mother whose last moments the
soldier could only cheer by his presence at the
expense of his duty to Melich RE.

THE TORNADO CASE.
Interesting Decision by Judge Billings.

Yesterday Judge Billings decided the cele-
brated Tornado salvage case. In which was In
terested every ship owner. master and agent n
large number of lawyers the fire department
of the city. and large number of persons who
did or claimed to have done, work in the way
| Of extinguishing the fire which destroyed the
vessel.
There were three interesting questions of
law involved. The first was on the claim OF
the master of the vessel. as the representative
of the owners for freight money due on the
| cargo. which was ON board and which was de-
| stroTed The claim was not allowed.
The next point was on the claim Of the Fire
Department for salvage for services done when
| the vessel was In flames. The claim was over
| ruled, but Chief O'Connor was allowed $3.50.
and each engine engaged In pumping out the
| vessel after she was raised was allowed from
$40 to SIS an hour. according to power. for the
| actual time during which they were at work.
| The last point was on the claim OF the crew
of the Protector for share of the salvage
awarded to her. and this claim was allowed.
they being decreed entitled to ope-fourth Of
| the net amount.
| Other awards. ranging from $40 up into the
| thousands. were made, including allowances of
| amounts ranging from $3.50 to $1,000, to the tugs
| who engaged in the or to save the vessel.
| Judge Billings In closing paid high tribute
to the efficacy of the gas used by the Protector
saying that he was convinced that IL the master
| of the Tornado had not interfered and ordered
the Protector off the vessel would have been
saved. AS 1t was he believed that the small
| amount of gas introduced before the captain
interfered had saved large quantity of the
freight.
The decision was an important one, but as it
Is to be revised and added to 1t will not be re-
corded until tomorrow. when 1t will be given to
the press.
