TIE RIGHT KIND OF GRIT,
The Captain Of the Admas Tells How
He Met German Arrogance

San Francisco. Jan. 31.-Com-
mander r. P. Seavy of the United
States steamer Adams, which arriv-
ed here from Samoa, via Honolulu.
yesterday, in an interview to-day
said:
'There was q great deal of COM
motion when I was in Apia I went
down there with all kinds of orders
suited to time of peace, but when
the war broke out 1 threw orders to
the wind. They would do in time
OF peace, but We're not applicable to
the condition of affairs then. When
saw Brandeis, the German minis
ter leading 500 natives in support of
Tamasese I wrote him letter asking
him to desist. I said: I am here to
protect American citizens and
American property, and I will not
wait idly by and see you plunging
the country into trouble when their
lives and property may be destroyed.
Ii you do not desist shall take such
measures to protect them as deem
the circumstances demand" He
sent back word that no Americans
or American property would be mo-
Tested.
In little while, though, much
the same tactics were repeated.
There was meeting of consuls
aboard the German war ship Adler,
and at the meeting I said to the
Germans: Now, just let the ma
tives fightit out between themselves.
Oh, no; they could not do that.
They said they had proclaimed Tam
asese King and they could not leave
him now to fight it out alone. Then
I said I would take hand in this.
If you persist in aiding Tama-
sese and fighting for him will par.
ticipate,' and I pulled the Adams in
ahead of the Adler and would have
done my part in the fray if the Ger.
mans had decided they must have it.
| had made up my mind that the
Adams could throw some shells too.
At this they eased down and prom.
ised that it should be ''hands off"
/ Next there were notices posted BY
the Germans stating that the bridge
over the river at Apia and sepa.
rating all the back country
where the natives were. would be
taken up. I tore these notices off.
said there should be no demolition
of bridges. Then I ordered nv
carpenters up the next morning and
meantime, word having got out eli
around, scores of natives came tn
aid In repairing and maintaining.
the bridge, also threw some ma.
rines ashore to protect IT. It is not
necessary to say that the bridge was
not destroyed, The Adams left Sa-
nloa December {. and was not pres

The Chicagos defeated the All-Amer- ica team to 3 yesterday. With three men on bases in the last inning Petit made circus catch, preventing the game from being tied. He took in two other difficult flies.
 Lovett pitched for the Brooklyns against the Philadelphias yesterday and his side won by the score of ' to 4.

DRINKING LEATHER.
A PAysiCian Explains why He Docs No

A PAysician Explains why He Do6s Not
 Take Milk with His Tea.
 The Boston correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat is responsible for the fol- lowing story:
 s'Thank you, madam, but do not put any milk in my tea" said well-known Boston physician the other night at 8 supper party, and then added: II was never partial to leather as an article of diet. From the Arctic explorers point of view, it is some times available for food. As for myself, hope that shall not soon be reduced to the necessity of eating or drinking it.''
 "My dear doctor," responded the hostess of the oocasion, smilingly, you need not have milk nor cream either in your tea if you do not wish it. Nor. hope, are you likely to be compelled to undertake diet of leather. Pray pardon me. however, if ask what possible connection there can be be- tween the twof"
 "A very intimate connection, let me as- sure you, dear madam,' he replied. "Milk, as you are aware, is an animal secretion. Tea contains chemical principle called tannln, which has a specific action upon the milk. The result is a substance which, to the analysis of the chemist, resembles leather. Like leather, it is difficult of diges- tion. You will observe that the Chinese, who first discovered the use of tea, take no milk in thelrs. Perhaps it may be supposed that they know thing or two on the sub- iect."

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,.
Discussing the Proposed Division of
 the Town of Derby


 the Town of Derby. HARTFORD, April 11.-Mr Hickox of Litchtield started the business in motion in the house this morning by offering a resolution instructing the clerk to trans init to the secretary of state the rejected resolution committing the death sen tence of John H. Swift to imprisonment for life instead of having it sent to the senate. The resolution was tabled. He thought that there was constitutional difficulty to be encountered in sending it to that body to-day. A circular addressed to the members of the general assembly was distributed in the house and senate this morning giving the reasons of the people of Derby why the town should not be divided by the legislature and asking that the ques- tion be submitted to the people to vote themselves.
 The resolution was made the order of the day at II o'clock and a long discus sion on its merits and demerits then took place. MT Holden of Derby, said that the petition to divide the town comes to | the house at the earnest solicitation of several large corporations that he | thought were not so competent to say what the people want as the people | themselves. At the time of writing the discussion is going on.
 Before the committee on cities and | boroughs a hearing was given this after | noon to those interested in house bill No 199 providing better voting facilities in school districts in Waterbury.

ROAD BOARD MEETING.
Bids for Sweepinetthe Bank and Soutl
 Main Street PaYemcntS.

Bids TOT rSweep1nR1tne Bank ana SOuCn n Main Street Pavemcnts. Property owners upon South River. side street were given hearing by the road commissioners last night, upon the
 matter of benefits and damages by req. son of the proposed new layout of the street. The street will be laid out in ac cordance with the vote of the common council and the plans presented by City Engineer Weld.
 The bids for sweeping the pavements on Bank and South Main street, twice q week from April to December 1 and | once week during the winter months and to keep pavements clean at all times were as follows: John Collins, Bald | win street, S2,500; James Sutton, Sl ,450 c. w. & D. w. Blakeslee, S1 ,425. The city engineers estimate of the cost oi | the work was S1 ,475. MT Sutton being l taxpayer, it was voted that the council recommend that the contract be award ed to him.
 It was ordered that the water from Martin street be diverted from the cul vert across the land of Patrick Guilfoile l to the Baldwin street sewer and that the culvert be abandoned.
 $. P. Williams presented maps of 8 proposed new street, 400 feet in length to run parallel to Hill street. The board voted to visit the locally Friday after noon.
 The matter of the lost building line or Spring street was again discussed but the board adjourned without taking any action. a.Ess

The Loss ot Power.

Naval engineers estimate that of every 100 tons of coal burned at sea 95 are wasted, and only five expended in the work of pushing the vessel forward. Of the Y5 wasted tons 40 tons are lost at the boiler in consequence of unused heat passing from the smoke-stack, from incomplete combustion. radiation, conduction and minor causes; that 4S tons are lost in heat, at the cylinder, which has been con- ducted from the live steam and the unused, and from latent heat escaping with the ex- haust steam. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the loss from friction of en- zine working under full power at sea amounts to three and half tons, and that the average losses from power required to work air and feed pumps, and to overcome augmented resistance due to slip and fric- tion of screw blades in still water, amounts to three and a half tons.

THE ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT.
Improbable That Regimental Cam D
 Will be Held.

Win be Held.
 In. last Sundays New York Herald was a screed from Connecticut rather booming Mantle as a summer resort, and incidentally remarking that the en- campment this year would probably be by regiments instead of by battalion, making an encampment five weeks long, instead of one week. This idea is, of course. in the hands of the governor and his staff, but no intimation has been heard of it by the officers of the Second regiment, and it is probable if any such radical departure from the custom was in contemplation that the wishes of those interested would be consulted somewhat. It is at present highly inn made from the time-honored brigade encampment.

AT THE FRONT DOOR:

An Excellent Picture of a Young Woman
 Wrestling with a Latch Key.
 If you have never had the pleasure of watching @ woman open her front door by means of a latch key it is worth dawdling away the fifteen minutes she requires for the operation to be amused at the thorough femininity of her actions, says the New Orleans Picayune. The other evening, shortly before dusk, Q bright faced, quick stepping girl, buttoned up in an English walking jacket, swinging along handled parasol, and carrying half a dozen small par cels, s,passed briskly by, on Camp street, to run up flight of stone steps and opened siege on the front entrance with the skeleton in- strument concealed somewhere about her person. -.-
 First she shifted the responsibility of purse, packages, umbrella and handkerchief on one hand, while she used the other to feel in both coat pockets for tho key. They failed to produce it, and by that time one bundle and the tiresome parasol lay halfway down the stoop. With slightly flushed cheeks the girl picked up the awkward para chute, leaned it up in one corner, took frmer hold on the slippery par cels and examined the palms of her snugly-fitting gloves. This process gave her handkerchief to the breeze, and nistaking the trifle for a miniature sail, the ZcpAyE p1eiy ully SauSho Ao up anu AC1pCd lt flutter dozen paces down the street. By | this time dense expression had grown about the young lady's lips; she paid no | heed to the results of an evenings industri- ous shopping now lying scattered at her feet, but plunged boldly into the lntricacies | of her smooth draperies and instituted in stant search for a secret pocket. With l nervous fingers she pulled at one fold after | another until finally section gave way, Rnd with a lurch her hand disappeared in the depth of some hidden recess.
 The triumphant expression beginn ing to dawn over the girls features gave way first | to one of dismay, and then growing merti- | fication as memory seemed to point to the exact spot on her dressing table from which
 she had not taken her key that afternoon.
 Indignant and disgusted, this independent young woman gave vicious tug to the bell
 bowed humbly as sympathetic man gath. cred up and restored her disordered be | longings, and with meek head passed out o1 | sight through the door held open by the l smiling maid.
