CELEBRATING THE FOUNDING OF
ST 5UGUSTINE


To-day the citizens of St. Augustine, Fla,
will be commemorating the founding of that
city by MELENDEz in 1865 and the discovery
of Florida by Ponce DE LEON a half century
earlier. These interesting historic events to
be celebrated to-day seem to link our own day
directly with COLUMBUS himself, for JUAN
PONCE DE LEON had accompanied the great
navigator on his second voyage in 1893.
Having acquired the governorship OF Porto
Rico and the eastern district of Hispaniola,
PONCE DE LEON spent the next twenty years
of his life in the West Indies. AS the years
rolled on the tough old soldier began to feel
their weight and to realize that he was losing
the ardor of youth which he had known DUR
ing his campaigns in Grenada, and in his
declining years he was possessed of an intense
mania to find fountain of perpetual youth,
whose existence somewhere in the New
World was firmly credited by his country
men. The legend of this fountain who's
waters would restore youth to old age was
told by the West Indians to the Spaniards,
and probably had its origin in the existence
of spring or lake of singular beauty in the
interior of the mainland, now known as
the Silver Spring, and annually Wis
tied by thousands of tourists. In
quest of this fountain Ponce DE LEON set
out from Porto Rico early in March, 1913,
with three ships, and on the 9th of that
month, according to our present reckoning
of the calendar, it being Easter Sunday,
Pascua Florida, he saw the land to which.
beautiful with its wealth of flowers, the name
of Florida was given.
He skirted the whole Atlantic coast of the
Peninsula, from the st. Johns to the Tostu-
gas, and doubled Cape Sable. He found,
however, no waters that could restore the
ardor of his lost youth, and hostile savages
baffied his efforts to penetrate the interior.
Eight years later when he again visited
Florida his ships were driven off by the In
dams and Ponce DE LEON himself MORALLY
wounded.
MELENDEz, who founded st. Augustine
800 years ago, was the commander Of a
Spanish expedition that massacred a colony
of French Huguenots who had settled in
Florida. A year later a Gascon soldier
named GoURGEs avenged the butchery by a
raid in Florida and hung all the spaniards
he could lay hands on.

FoREIeN WAR AND 1rs EFFECTS.

Il FOREIGN WAR IND ITS EFFECTS.
| And now the lion roars and shakes his
main and distends his nostrils and claws the
air, and the echoes reverberate from the
mountains of Herat to the hills of Hasheen,
and may be family heard on the frigid plains
of the Northwest territories. A respon-
sive growl is heard from the polar bear, and
there are strong surface indications that the
fire will fly before many months. But in all
seriousness the situation is critical. If the
subtle Influence of diplomacy is not quickly
invoked, war is inevitable. The prOclama-
ton of the queen calling out the reserve
regulars and the militia for active service.
the activity day and night at the arsenals, the
hurried and secret cabinet councils, the
movement of men of war towards the
theater of action all portend war, the conse-
quence of which can but be far reaching in
its effect on the other great powers. The
concessions to the ameer of Afghanistan to
prevent his betrayal of the British cause
into the hands of the willy
Russian, and the rush for Herat
from India, mean that the English
government is thoroughly alarmed and fully
aroused to the importance of prompt action
to preserve every strategic point. In the
meantime Russia, never inactive, is alert
and inclined to be terribly aggressive. Her
emissaries are busy with the tickle Turk, the
hereditary enemy of the car, for an alliance
believed to be defensive and offensive. Such
an alliance would be a menace to the empire
| which would seriously embarrass the move
ment OF its transports and troops. Russia is
undoubtedly ready for war, but England will
not be slow to meet the issue. Active en-
ployment must be found for the armies of
Russia, for idleness has tended to develop
a foe from within more insidious and more
dangerous than any foreign foe. The ac-
| tlvity OF war may avert the revolution which
must inevitably come from the workings of
nlhlllsm in the ranks, and even among high
officials Of the armies. But one hand can
prevent the war now i'm minent and that is
the iron hand of BISMARCK, and it is ques-
ton in the diplomatic mind if ne would not
wink at the humbling of Russia by the
English, while he keeps a wary eye
on France. Austria, unless restrained by
the iron hand, would hardly be disinterested
spectator OF war which would at once most
likely involve Russia and Turkey on the one
| hand and England and Italy on the other.
The theater of action would be in Afghanis-
tan, in Soudan and Egypt and on the seas,
especially on the Baltic.
But whatever the eDtanglements the
United States can calmly contemplate the
issue. The wheat fields of India and Russia
will go to weeds, as the producers become
consumers, and our own cereals find mar
ket abroad where they have suffered from COM
petition of late years. We would have an
active demand for all our overproductions,
idle hands would find employment at re
munerative wages, the gold of the Old World
would flow this way and pass into general
circulation and all our latent industries, so
long depressed, develop an activity hereto
fore unknown.

THE FIRST REL B4TTLF.

The first blood has been shed in the REL
rebellion, and at last the government is
aroused to the gravity of the situation in the
Northwest territories. The formidable char
actel Of the foe the government must con =
tend against is clearly shown by the frightful
fatality that attended the preliminary
skirmish, where twelve were killed and but
eleven wounded. The half-breeds are old
hunters and handler with the rifle than they
are with the hoe. They are shots
at long range, and knowing the country
they will have the advantage of the
troops in selecting strategic positions. And
now that REL has drawn the first blood by
firing first on the constituted authorities he
can hope for no mercy this time, and will
doubtless make a desperate defense. If he
is not killed on the skirmish line he can
hardly hope to escape the halter, for if he is
taken prisoner he will not die the soldiers
death. There will be no more trfling on the
part of the government. All of the avail
able troops in Manitoba are heading
for the field and 500 of the Queens Own will
leave Ontario and Quebec for the front. But
their nerve will be tried when the conflict
comes, brave though they and all Britons are,
they will meet men who shoot to kill, and
not Arabs who make their assaults on the
hamstrings of horses and camels. The
troops, however, will do their duty and
do it better than the authorities, or
they need not be called out
now. The grievances of the half-breeds
shonld have been adjusted long since and
then RIEL could not have influenced them to
subserve his selfish purposes. The struggle
with rebellion, however, must now be sharp
and decisive to hold the Indians in check,
for the reverse reported this morning will
encourage them to take the war path.

THE new administration, as was predicted

THE new administration, as was predicted
by some ultra Republicans during the cam
paign, has revived the auction block; not,
however, as they insisted it would do, for the
sale of slaves, but to get rid of such luxurious
plumber as horses and carriages maintained
at the expense of the government for the
benefit of the heads Of departments. The
nobby outfits of the late Secretary TELLER
were sold under the hammer at administers
tors sale by order of Executor LAMAR yester-
day. This is one of the novelties to which
the new administration proposes to treat the

A LARGE consignment of thoroughbred
bulls imported by President HILL of the
Manitoba line has arrived off Boston. These
are to be used to improve the quality of the
cattle in the Northwest and for the general
purpose of encouraging the stock industry,
which was being sadly neglected until Mr..
HILL took the matter in hand. With his ac-
customed foresight the public spirited citizen
saw that wheat growing could not always be
the main resource of our farmers; that the
production of single cereal tends to impov-
erish people as well as the soil and that the
best diversifying industry for this section is
stock growing and dairying.

Chicago has another romantic story. For
some time young woman has been living
in that city disguised as boy. She might
be keeping up the deception yet if she had
not undertaken to drive milk wagon, and
involuntarily ensnared the affections of the
daughter of one of her customers. There
are some spheres in life TO which woman
must not aspire. The profession Of milk
man is one of them. That belongs exclu-
sively to the sterner sex. The policeman
alone shares with the milkman the smiles of

A. Yes.

Q. AS l understand it, Gen. Grant,

Ward came up here the Sunday night before
the failure and asked me to go down with
him to see Mr. Newcomb to see if he
couldn't get $3.50, 600 from him. He said he
had himself raised S230,000 and that if he
could raise S150,000 more it would

he said the Marine bank was all sound and
solid If it had time to collect in or draw in a
little of its time loans. And l went down
there with him, and Newcomb was not at
home, and he asked me if I knew William
II. Vanderbilt well enough to ask him, and
l, after some little hesitation, said did. and
Vanderbilt loaned it to ne without any hest
tation at all. He said at the time he gave il
to me
THAT HE WAS LENDING THIS TO Me
and that he had no recollection of ever hav-
ing done such thing before, but that he
would do it for me. Well. that has taken all
the remaining property l had.
Q. The representation of Ward to you
was that your firm was in danger on account
OF the critical condition of the Marine bank!
A. Yes, sir. He said that we had 81. 300,-
600 of unpledged securities in our vault.
Q. Now, did Fish at any time during the
spring of 1884 communicate to you any dis
trust on his part of Ward?
A. No, sir; if he had l should have been
very ready, have no doubt, to take distrust.
