English ships of sufficient war strength to
demolish easily the representatives OF our navy
In the Pacific ocean are to cruise for the sum-
mer IN Behring sea, and an entertaining game
OF guessing concerning the purpose of the
cruise Is in progress. In one quarter it is con-
lectured that the object is scientific, and that
the northern glaciers are to be inspected with
critical eye. Another guesser calls attention
TO the attractions of Behring a cruising
ground, and pronounces the expedition picnic.
An English naval officer after eating and drink
ing freely at Canadian dinner and the American
prophet of evil in the depths of a severe at
tack of the blues see in imagination a naval
battle over the bodies and skins of American
seals in which the English are to accomplish
the alleged purpose of annihilating the Pacific
navy Of the republic, land of killing and carry
ing off IN triumph as may Of the seals that we
bought from Russia as the most grasping
Canadian poacher can ask. In response to
this alarming guess concerning the motive of
the expedition it is suggested that the English
ships are of such heavy draught that they can
not catch our ships to destroy them or inter-
fere seriously with the protection of
the seal fisheries in the shoal waters
and difficult navigation of parts of
BehrinS sea. Reinsurance is also found
IN the reflection that Great Britain will
OF make against the United States with
out previous declaration of intention, and
without seriously considering the probable fate
OF Canada while the operation of destroying
our navy, Strengthening our seals, and Smelling
our sea-coast cities is in progress. The final
and fayorite guess in the matter views the
cruise as ordered on general principles. with
neither hostilities, science nor picnicking in
view, but in the, expectation that the mere
presence of the ships may have its effect in
preventing possible ill-treatment of Canadian
poachers on the seal fisheries, just as our own
ships cruise in Canadian waters as a reminder
to our northern neighbOr to be gentle in her
Treatment of American fishermen.

Another death at railroad grade crossing in
Washington emphasizes the teaching of the
times that such crossings in cities must be
abolished, and that, until the law banishes
them, they must be faithfully guarded, day and
night, at the railroads expense to prevent in

public safety demands a more rigid enforce
ment than that which requires gates and guards
at railroad crossings, and limits the speed of
trains within the city's boundaries.
