In the meantime. about year ago. the
British asserted their right to the territory
,rcl,d;rg these mineral deposits, and
forthwith seized and occupied them. The
yenezueIan government protested and
gave notice that il would resist the claim.
Then a British gunboat was sent to the
mouth of the Orinoco, and the Venezuelan
vessel stationed there-the Faro-was or
dered to lower her colors while the Union
lack was afioat, in recognition of British
supremacy. The Venezuelan commander
complied, but protested that he did so
only under the compuIsion of superior
naval force.
It is in reference to this case that the
good Offices of the United States have been
again invoked. And it is in response to
that appeal that Mr.. Blaine has served
notice upon the British government that
any encroachment in that quarter will be
viewed with more than jealousy" by
this country. For, as his dispatch inn
plies, the seizure of that little stretch of
mineral land is mere subterfuge. If the
claim thereto be admitted. it will carry
with it the exclusive control of the mag
nificent and invaluable Orinoco.
OF course it is perfectly apparent that
however small the area in dispute, when
It's possession carries with it this import
ant consequence, its seizure without a
clear right would be an infringement of
the Monroe doctrine, which our govern
ment cannot consent to or permit. And
it is perfectly safe to predict that Great
Britain win be required to establish her
right, clearly and individually, or to
vacate. A Bayard is not now at the helm.

lily.

1t Is well to keep green the great event
which baptized ours an independent ma
ton. This duty is particularly incumbent
on communities that enjoy in high de-
gree the blessings of prosperity and pro-
gress to which that event opened the way.
No people enjoy those blessings in higher
degree than do we of Seattle. To that
event, and the incompatible system OF
government it inaugurated, We owe not
simply our perfect freedom, and our right
of self-goyernment, but also those wise and
liberal policies without which our unpar-
alleIed prosperity and Advancement would
have been impossible.
For two successive years Seattle has
failed TO commemorate the anniversary of
the nations birth; once under the stress
of seeming calamity which proved to be
her greatest blessing; again because of the
hurry and confusion of rebuilding, and
through Difference to the intentions and
preparations of other neighboring and
friendly communities. Gratitude for the
unriyaled blessings and advantages we en-
Joy. no less than the impulse of patriotism,
forbid that this community shall for q
third consecutive year forbear celebra-
ton Of the nations natal day.
Our people must celebrate. They cannot
afford, If they were inclined, to celebrate
in hating or perfunctory manner. Any
such inclination is foreign to the ma
ture Of this people. For nothing are
they more widely noted than for their
habit OF doing thoroughly, and well, and
{ worthily anything they undertake. II
would not, if they were so disposed, at all
answer for them to make their manner OF
celebrating the national anniversary an
exception to this rule.
There must be fitting celebration, be-
fitting the wealth and wondrous pros
perity of the city. Such a celebration will
cost money. 1t is neither proper nor fit
ting that the expense should be borne by a
few. All share the blessings of the event
to be commemorated; all will share the
satisfaction and the pleasure of it; il is
due to all and from all that all in proper
ton to their ability should share the ex-
pense.
This is not q matter to be urged or ar
gued. II 10 one that should at once appeal
to the gratitude, the patriotism and the
local pride of all our people. That such
win be the fact is confidently predicted.
II is hoped and believed that there will
at once spring up friendly rivalry among
all classes of our people, in efforts to excel
by contributions according TO their means,
and by words and acts of encouragement
and aid to make the forthcoming celebra-
ton worthy of this great city and its pros
porous people, and in all respects worthy
of the event to be commemorated; q
source of pride to the city, and of pride
and congratulation for years to come for
all who participate.

Thomas Shelby, farmer, living eight
niles from Lexington, KY, on the
Richmond turnpike, had desperate en-
UUunter with a wounded eagle recently.
He was out riding over his farm
WHEN he discovered n large bird perched
On the top,nost limb Of tree. At the
drst glance he thought the bird to be q
black buzzard, but as he drew nearer
he concluded that it must be an eagle.
He noticed that the bird kept eying his
dogs, which We're near the tree. Shelby
took advantage of this fact and rode up
close to the tree on the opposite side
from the dogs. He had his shotgun
with him, loaded with small shot.
When he reached point about thirty
yards from the tree he fred. The eagle
came crashing down through the
branches and Shelby ran to pick it up.
The load Of shot was too small to do
more than disable the bird by breaking
its wings
AS Shelby approached the bird of free
dom turned and dashed at him with the
ferocity of q tiger. BY rapid lodging
he managed to keep out of reach of the
birds claws for several moments. He
finally picked up fallen limb, and each
time the bird dashed at him he avoided
it and struck and rained effective blows
i upon the vicious bird of freedom. 1t
was not, however, until he had mashed
its head almost to d jelly that the bird
gave up the fight. Shelby escaped with
q number of scratches and took the bird
to Lexington, where it was placed on
exhibition. 1t is of the species known
as the gray eagle, and is the first one
killed in this part of the country for
many years. It weighed seventeen
pounds and measured nearly seven feet
from tip to tip.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
