WARTS WITTY RIJoINpER.

Speaking OF Lord Coleridge, story
has been told of some of his remarks
at Mount Vernon. 1t is said that on
his saying it was wonderful feat for
George Washington to throw a silver
dollar across the Potomac, Mr.. Evarts
replied: Yes, my lord, but you must
remember General Washington could
make = dollar 60 as far as any one."-
This story is all very well. but the real
remark Of Mr. Evarts was much more
significant, and TO the point. What be
really said was .'Yes, Lord Coleridge,
/ do not doubt that General Washing
ton threw that dollar across the Poto-
mac. He was man of great physical
strength, and you wfl remember that he
did greater feat than this in throwing
q British sovereign across the ocean,

sea is covered with laden Golfers. This diin-
Guilty therefore would probably not interfere
seriously with the work of the Russian COM
merce -destroyers. But they would have to
move very swiftly to keep away from the BRIT
ish cruisers, for though some English pes
simists have recently declared in the press
that England has no swift cruisers, the truth is
that there are in her navy eleven finished and
two unfinished vessels capable OF making from
fifteen to seve teen and half knots an hou
and in additio to them must be reckoncd the
fast passenger steamers recently chartered, ana
which undoubtedly have the heels OF anything
aloat that carries the Russian flag. England
can certainly muster as many fast cruisers as
Russia can procure, in fact, but 1T is clear that
she ought to have twice or three times as many
in order to be able to extend effective protec-
ton to her widely scattered commerce.
England can in another way protect her CON-
merce ahoat, namely by transferring it to
neutral bottoms. Such a course would
necessarily deprive her of her enormous carry
ing trade now sixty per cent OF the worlds
ocean transportation. But even this possibility
is dependent upon q doubtful factor, which Is
Russia's adhesion to the Declaration OF Paris.
Under that international agreement neutral
flag covers enemy's goods. But II Russia
should withdraw from that agreement, the
transfer of the carrying trade TO neutral bot
toms would no longer be practicable. Whether
in any case the United States could profit by
such n transfer is open TO serious question.
DR.. Woolscy in the latest edition OF his treatise
ON International Law holds that not having
signed the Declaration OF Paris our Govern
ment could not enjoy the privileges accorded 10
neutrals under it. BE that as it may, however,
it seems probable that Mt the first outbreak OF
war British commerce afioat would sustain very
serious injury, and that despite the protection
subsequently afforded by swift cruisers, the war
risks might soon rise so high rs to force the
carrying trade into neutral hands, provided the
transfer could protect it. English opinion at
present is hostile to the transfer OF this trade
to neutral flag.
There is not much probability that Russia
would venture TO face Englands warships how
ever It. is much more likely that she would
promptly put her ironclads under the guns OF
Cronstadt and Sebastopol, and that they would
stay there until the war was over. All the
Russian work done at would be by cruisers
and it is possible that if these were destroyed
mt once she could not replace them, since the
Alabama Claims have convinced all neutral
Powers that it is absolutely necessary to pre-
vent the furnishing of munitions OF war to
beligerents, and that pleas of inability to pre-
vent the fitting out and departure of vessels
will not be allowed in any international tn
bunal hunceforth.
