The thrilling experience of the Dam
marks passengers recalls to mind the
Inflated Circassian in September, 1864.
Leaving Bremen with eleven hundred
souls aboard, bound for New York, al
most in the identical spot where the
Danmark was sighted by the Missouri,
she experienced three successive storms,
which opened her seams, and in twenty
four hours extinguished her fires. For
three days and nights the passengers
alternated in relief at the ships pumps,
to no avail. A strict watch for passing
ships was kept during the day, and at
night rockets were sent up for relief.
On the morning Of the fourth day, with
the passengers up to Their waists in
water, the rays Of the rising sun re-
vealed to their despairing eyes two
British men-of-war, bound for Halifax,
steering directly toward them. Each
man-of-war steamed alongside, on the
larboard and star-board, and buoyed up
the sinking steamer until the trans
fer of passengers was made, and they
were eventually landed at Halifax.

IT is somewhat surprising that there
were but two ex-presidents-Hayes and
Cleveland-living at the time of the
hundredth anniversary of the inaugura-
ton of the first president. That was
just the number, however, who We're
alive when the semi-centennial of that
event took place in 1889. The New
York Historical Society got up a cele-
bration that year, and John Quincy
Adams delivered the Grafton. Seven
men, up to that time, had sat in the
presidential chair, exclusive of the ex-
isting occupant-Van Buren,; but all
were dead except John Quincy Adams
and Andrew Jackson. The chances are
that we will not be much better fixed
in the matter of ex-presidents at the BIZ

SECRETARY Tracy compliments the
officers and sailors of the Samoan fleet
on their conduct during the hurricane.
This tribute is timely and appropriate.
Notwithstanding the disaster to the
fleet by the storm, no greater skill or
heroism was ever displayed in like
emergency than was shown by the
Americans commanded by Admiral
Kimberly. The losses were due to the
defective machinery Of the vessels, and
for these imperfections neither the Off
GERS nor crews We're responsible.

letter from young man in the East

derstood that negotiations are still in prog.

that there will DO an international confer
ence TO deliberate on the question whether
or not Behring Sea is mare clausum. The
preposterous claim OF the United States to
exclusive jurisdiction in those waters Is
one that affects all great maritime powers.
