King two days previously. There Is also IN

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

The ten miles of new railway over which
all Persia still stands breathless with adj
miration, are probably destined to be as
famous in engineering history as the Chi
nese discovery of how to roast pigs. The
Shah has started to build railway from
Teheran to the Caspian Sea. Instead of be-
ginning at the Caspian and bringing for
ward the rails and material on the road as 1t
progressed, he has had all the rails and iron
carried on mules across the desert to Tehe-
ran and begun there. OF the total cost thus
far-9100, 000-e4 900 has been for transpor-
tation expenses, and the engineering jour
nails are laughing over it in every language
OF the Continent.
The French Minister of War has decided
that officers in the army enjoying pay of
$1,000 can marry without exacting dowry
from their brides. This is revocation of
the decree of December, 1S43. An attempt
has been made to do away with the necessity
of an authorization from the Colonel in COM
mand, but the change has not been effected.
MFR. William Clark of GAINESVILLE. Pa. who
is now ninety-five years old, according to the
Philadelphia Press. is probably the only
man living who was present at the confer
ence between General William Henry Harri-
son and Tecumseh in 1910. The site Of the
conference was in grove near where Vim
cennes, Ind, now stands. A guard of SOL
diers had been detailed to insure the safety
Of the general and the other territorial Off
GERS present. Tecumseh came proudly
walking into the group, at the head of
small escort of Shawnee warriors. Clark
describes him as tall, dignified and noble
specimen of the Indian race, proud and
naughty. In his talk to the white men he
became very insolent and saucy, ending by
fatty calling Harrison liar. The guards
interposed at this juncture and compelled
the chieftain to maintain silence. Old Tip
pecanoe was furious. Advancing to where
Tecumseh stood, he shook his fist ander his
nose and said, "You have deceived two of
my best generals, but learned the art of
war from man who fears nothing from de-
ception." The proud savage shrugged his
shoulders, sneered and walked away. The
conference was resumed the next day, but
Tecumseh had lost great deal of his proud
bearing and acted more civilly. The meet
ing brought no amicable arrangements, how
ever, and in the border warfare soon after
Tecumseh was slain by Colonel "Dick"
johnson, an intimate friend Of Clark's, and
in maturer life candidate for the Vice
Presidency.

The Tariff and Shipping.

In his address at City Hall last week the
Hon. William l.. Putnam quoted from a re-
port made to Congress in 1870 by the Hon.
John Lynch. the representative to Congress
from this district, ON 'the causes of the re-
duction Of American tonnage" as follows:
The war not only deprived us of the advantages
resulting from this change in the character Of
commercial vessels and the currents OF trade
effected thereby, but gave an impetus TO all bust
ness connected with ocean navigation in the
hands of our great commercial rival, and an adj
vantage over us, that but for the war she would
not have possessed The business thus diverted
into new channels could not be Immediately re-
gained by American vessels even under the most
favorable circumstances. But the disastrous
effects of the war did not with the return of

dens of taxation which the war had left imposed
upoD all the industries of the country, but which
operated with peculiar hardship upon this partic-
Mar Interest, inasmuch as It Is subjected TO the
unrestricted competition of untaxed foreign
rivals"
This, Mr.. Putnam construed, as an admis-
sion by Mr.. Lynch that the tariff on material
entering into the construction of ships had
to some extent operated tol prevent revival

But this proposition. emanating from a
gentleman whom Mr.. Putnam credits with
being a thorough business man and thor
oughly honest, and whom Mr.. Putnam
quotes when he seems to sustain the Demo-
cratic position in the present contest, has
been fought by every Democratic Congress
In which it has been introduced; and once,
when it was in modified degree adopted by
the National legislature Democratic post
master general availed himself of techni-
cality to practically nullify it; while the
proposition to admit foreign built ships to
American registry, which this thorough

in every Democratic House for many years
past, and would undoubtedly ere this have
become law had 1t not been for the oppo-
sition of the Republican Senate. The truth
is that the position of Mr.. Lynch toward the
shipping industry in 1870 was precisely the
same as that of the Republicans Of to-day
1t was in thorough accord too with the prin-
ciples of the protective system. He sought
then, as the Republicans are seeking now
to protect American shipbuildlng from the
destructive competition of foreigners by OPP
posing the admission of foreign ships te
American registry; he sought then, as Repub.
licans are seeking now, to revive the build.
ing of ships for the foreign carrying trade by
system of government bounties such as
England gives to her merchant marine; and
he sought to remove duties, as Republicans
seek now, when they are nothing but need
less taxes, contributing nothing to the pro-
lection of American industry.
