was one of the first men who signed pa
pers with the much-vaunted Confederate crui-
ser, the Alabama, and my service in her did
not end until she sailed into an English port
with the Confederate flag flying. You will
thus realize that | participated in the cap
ture of several dozen Federal merchantmen,
and whalers. There was sameness about
our manner of making captures which we
were glad to have broken now and then. 1t
was but rarely that vessel was overhauled
during the night. If we were in chase of her
we simply kept her in sight or tried to, until
daylight came While we could not antici-
pate any stubborn resistance, the right sort
of skipper might fire volley into boats
crew er go to some other uncomfortable ex-
IRENE. As a rule we had only to close in on
our VICTIM fire solid shot across his course
and he would heave to and put the best face
possible on bad matter The First Lieu
tenant would be sent off to him with boat
and half dozen marines, and in the course
of half an hour his fate would be decided
If it was thought best to bond him the papers
were made out and signed and he was per-
mitted to go his way. If his craft was to be
destroyed, the men were allowed to bring up
their clothing and kniclknackS, the officers to
pack up their personal effects, and inside of
an hour the craft would be ablaze and we
would be sailing away in search of another
victim.
When we ran around in search of whalers
we came upon Yankee skipper who didn't
know what surrender meant. We were lust
well to the west of the stormy cape when,
one morning after breakfast we raised a
whaler. He was headed up the coast and
about noon we overhauled him. He paid no
attention to the first shot, and it was only

when the second one hulled him that he came
info tbe wind. II was then seen that he had
fifteen or sixteen men aboard, anu Inat all
were armed with muskets, ana meant 10 de-
fend the ship. The Lieutenant was SEM on
with his boat. but no sooner was ne within
fair musket range than the whaler opened on
him. killing one man and Woundlng TWO az

and demanded a surrender, but ne got an
other volley and the reply that the WnaieT
''would go TO the bottom before ne Woulu

The boat was recalled and our gunnerS
were instructed to hull the whaler WITH sollu
shot. We approached him within rl1le range
and opened fire. Every one OF the Ddilo
pumped through his side at and above tne
water line, and he answered with his mus
kets, severely Wounding two men, he was re-
peatedly hailed to surrender, but in reply he
encouraged his men to maintain their Ire'
We soon had the sea pouring into MS staI-
board side through a dozenholss, and when
it was seen that he would soon go down we
ceased firing and again demanded his surren-
der. | can remember just how he looked as
he sprang upon the rail, tall, gaunt hair fly
ing and eyes blazing, and shouted in reply:

take us-if you can"
Five minutes later his craft settled down
bow first. We lowered the boats, 10 save ms

lost. When we brought them aboard the Yam

ed, bdrefooted and coatless, and said:

An opinion having an important bearing
on prohibitory liquor laws has just been rem
dered by Judge Love of the United States
Court for the district of Iowa. 1t is in the
same line as the opinion of Judge Brewer of
the United States Court for the district of
Kansas, but goes further. Judge Brewer
held that State could not, by means of a
prohibitory law, close up brewery or dis
tillery that had been built and was in opera
ton before the passage of the law without
compromising the owner for his loss. Judge
Love applies the same doctrine to saloons,
holding that they cannot be closed up unless
the State makes good the owners loss. If
this opinion should receive the sanction of
the Supreme Court of the United States, a
very serious check would be placed upon the
progress of prohibitory laws for the burdens
they would entail would be so heavy that
no State would feel able to bear them.
With this doctrine established as the
law perhaps the most ardent advocates
of prohibitory laws would be the brew
ers and saloon keepers themselves, who
would see in them promising opportunity
to dispose of declining business to good adj
vantage

Mr.. Gladstone says that he shall resign and

Congressman Dingley, in an interview pub

ardis guilty of grossly inaccurate statement,
when he says the United States Senate de-

No treaty has ever been submitted to it on
the subject. What the Senate did was to OPP
pose the appointment of a commission to ne
gotiate with Canada. The Secretary of State
has always been at liberty to negotiate with
the British minister on the subject. The
trouble with Mr. Bayard is that he had set
his heart on the commission plan, and its
overthrow by the Senate put him out of tenn

Destitution and misery appear to be per-
ennial on the island of Newfoundland. This
is not because there are too many people on
the island; but because there are too few fish
for the people. In Newfoundland and Lab

have been bred to find their only support on
the sea and when this fails them their con-
dition is most pitiable.

little rowdyism. The moral tone of the com

than compensate for the loss of the rum

One theory of the brutal murder of the
Chinaman in Boston, which finds good deal
of credence among the police, is that he was
put to death by order of Chinese society in
that city for revealing to the authorities the
locations of Chinese gambling houses and
opium dens. 1t is said that the society holds
a regular court before which obnoxious Chin
amen are tried and if found guilty, one of
the members is deputed to inflict the punish
ment prescribed. 1t is quite as likely, how
ever, that desire to possess himself of the
Chinaman's cash box, containing $1,000, was
the motive of the murderer.

The solution of the political situation in
that Mr. Gladstone will resign without wait.
ing for Parliament to meet, and that Lord
Harrington will not enter coalition minis
try. This means of course that the respon-
sibility of conducting the government is to
be put entirely upon the shoulders of the To-
ries Unfortunately for them they will con-
stitute a minority in Parliament, for, while a
good deal stronger than any single faction
they will not be so strong as these factions
combined. A ministry without working
majority in the House of Commons behind
it must necessarily be weak and. puny
affair. 1t cannot adopt any strong and Wig
orous policy, but must shilly-shally. Lord
Salisbury and his colleagues are committed
to the revival of coercion in Ireland; but CO.
ercion must be tempered to meet the views
of the Liberal Unionists, at whose mercy
Tory ministry will be. Lord Harrington fol-
lowers, provided they keep aloof from any
trade with Lord Salisbury, will hold about
the same place in the coming Parliament that
Parnells did in the last The ministry can
not exist without their support, and when
that fails it must fall just as Gladstone's fell
when the Parnellites deserted him.. 1t is
easy to see that ministry dependent for ex-
istence on party or faction, whose views in
many essential points are very different from
those of the party which the ministry direct
ly represents cannot last long. Some item of
policy on which there is radical difference
of opinion, and on which neither party can
give way, is pretty certain to soon be
reached, and then the end will come.
