Confident Of Their Triumph.

Los ANGELES. Gala, May 1O.-Deputy
United States Marshal Anderson. on the
tug Falcon, captured the schooner Robert
and Minnie about three miles from San
Diego yesterday afternoon. The arms said
to have boon on board had disappeared and
are believed to have bsen Transferred to the
steamer Itata. Before tho schooner was
captured Supercargo Burch and Pilot Dill,
who took the Itsta out Of San Diego hsr-
Dor, went ashore. Dill was arrested at San
Pedro. Burch came to Los Angeles and
was arrested by a detective, and 10 now in
the custody of the United States marshal.
Burch says he landed tho arms, but declines
to say at what point, but it is supposed to
have been at Catalina or Ban Clements.
Gerge Bart, agent for the Chilian insur-
gents, and who had charge of the
Robert and Minnie cargo, and who is now
under arrest here, in an interview to-day,
insisted that he had violated no law, and
seems to be confident that he will be rs-
voyage, Burt said it was nothing mysterious
at all. Arms had been shipped bv rail from
the east and loaded in the vessel in broad
daylight. When boarded by the
customs officer at Cataliang the
vessels papers were at once shown
The officer at first said there was something
suspicious about the vessel and left . man
on board, but after telsgraphing to Wash
ington subsequently took him off. The
vessel then bruised about several days, fin
ally putting into San Diego. Hero Burt
sighted the steamer lying in the stream
which at once put about. Shortly after
wards the tug, on which was the United
States marshal, steamed within ono hun
dred yards of her, but did not
hail her., much to his surprise
Thursday they discharged cargo and after
taking Pilot Dill on board sailed to San
Pedro where they arrived yesterday. Burt
refused to say whore the schooner discharR-
cd cargo but did not deny that the arms
had been placed on one Of the small islands
in the San Celemints group. Burt expressed
himself confident that the Itata could not
possibly have been detained by the force at
the command of the United States marshal,
as the crew would certainly have resisted
anv attempt to board her. Burt has tel
egraphed the facts of his arrest to Senator
Trumbull, engaged attorneys aud will fight
the case.
Pilot Dill, in an interview tonight, says
that he had no alternative but to take the
Itata to sea. He says the captain put three
armed Chilians on either side of him and
remained himself with revolver to see
that he did not run the steamer aground.
Dill says the Itata was a veritable man Of
war when he took her out of tho harbor.
The federal officials here are very reti-
cent and decline to say what orders, if any,
have been received from Washington.

HAVING SOLID COMFORT
Men Are Never Really Happy Unless

"Why is it," asked an observer to a De-
troit Free Press man, ''why is it that a
man has always tendency, when he is
after solid comfort, of getting his feet
higher than his head?"
Give it up.'
Its fact, nevertheless" went on the
speaker, ''as all men can testify. No
man thinks he is having real solid COM
fortlf he has to sit in room where every-
thing is in apple-pie order. 1t may be
because men are naturally careless, or it
may be because they never know what to
do with their feet and hands. Men, as a
rule, hate ceremony from the bottom of
their heart. AT wedding it is the bride
who is sweet and smiling, the groom who
is frightened uncomfortable At ball

MARINE HOSPITALS.
The Service at Sitka Not Able to Mee-
All Contingencies.

The Service at Sitka Not Able to Meet
All Contingencies.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Supervising
Surgeon General Hamilton, of the Hos
pital Marine, received a letter to-day from
CaSet Rogers, Acting Assistant Surgeon
at Sitka, Alaska, bearing date of the 1st
inst, stating that the service there at
present is not able to meet all contingent
cies. He insists that the order TO transfer
the hospital patients to Port Townsend,
Washington, is impracticable, owing
mainly to the fact that for nine months a
year the transportation facilities are
limited.
Some months ago the Hospital Marine
Bureau secured rooms in the wharf ware
house at Sitka for hospital. Rodgers
insists that the location is undesirable for
reasons apparent to everyone.
Surgeon-General Hamilton says he has
decided that the service should be i'm
proved at Sitka, and the bureau will en-
deavor to get location for a hospital on
the Government land around Sitka and
early in the next session of Congress will
make a recommendation to meet the
conditions.
He will leave for the Pacific Coast about
the first of May next, and will visit all the
marine hospitals on the coast, and every
point where the bureau contemplates
making improvements, going as far
north as Port Townsend, where there has
been trouble for some time about a per-
manent location fora hospital and needed
improvements. He will return in time
TO reach London to attend the Interna-
Gonal Congress of Hygiene, which meets
about the middle of August.

THE MAN HE WANTED.
Our Great Work in this World is to
Do Good.


DR.. Leonard Beacon, who was a very
busy man, would not refuse himself to
callers who expressed desire to see him.
On one occasion his family, knowing him
to be closely occupied, took especial pains
that he should not be disturbed, and
when stranger came to the door and in
quired for him they told him he was en-
gagged. It happened that DR.. Bacon over
heard the conversation. He immedi-
ately stepped into the hall and requested
his daughter to bring the caller into his
study.
The man who wants to see me is the
man | want to See,"
The doctor may have learned that way
of putting the case by some earlier ex-
perience in his life, like that of another
good minister Of whom Rev. George S.
Buffers speaks, who once was very near
losing a sacred opportunity.
1t was at the close of the evening serv-
ice, after a Sunday of hard work His
congregation had been small, and he felt
that he had acquitted himself poorly. In
fact, as he came out of church he over
heard remarks that mortified and even
embittered his spirit. The people who
spoke to him happened somehow to say
just the wrong things. He passed out,
gloomy and discouraged. If man ever
hungered for a token that he was doing
some good in the world, he was that man.
At the door stood young man, as if
waiting. The pastor felt in no mood to
talk more, and turned aside to avoid
him, but the stranger spoke his name.
May have moment with you, sir ?"
There was no welcome in the pastor re-
sponse. He begged the man to be short,
for he was very tired.
Perhaps had better not trouble you,
then," said the young man. And he went
away without another word.
BY the time the pastor had crossed the
street, and stood at his own door. he was
sorry for what he had said. He turned
Immediately and followed the stranger,
found him, and took him home with
him.
He proved to be the man the minister
wanted. He had been in the city three
months and had gone wrong. Tonight
ne had attended religious services for the
first time, and what he heard made him
home-sick and conscience-sick. He
wished the pastor to set him right
Your remark when | spoke to you at
the church chilled me-" he said, land |
turned away with hopeless feeling that
almost drove me to a wicked resolve.
The temptation was growing strong in
me as walked the street."
''How glad L am that | went after you.u
! said the pastor.
| Kindly and carefully he conversed with
the inquirer, giving him the counsel he
needed. 1t was a delightful ending to
what seemed a useless day. A sin-cap-
tive seeking his Redeemer had come to
! him.
That interview saved the young man.
He became one of the minister's best
helpers, an active worker in his church,
and successful winner of other young
men from temptation.
The opportunity that waits for us is the
one we need, and can not afford to lose.
Our great work in this world is to do
good; and whether it is to help the body
or mind or soul, it must not be put off on
account OF any weary or unwilling mood.
Such opportunities come now one at q
time, and the same one never comes but

The convention Protests Against he
Importation of Foreigners.
MILWAUKEE, March 19.-Nearly the
entire day was occupied in the conven-
ton of the National League of Musicians
in the discussion of the proposed affilia-
ton with the American Federation of
Labor.
Professor Wolsiefer urged cautious
action. He said: ''It is serious ques-
ton, and the advisability of refraining
from committing the league to either
side of the questions at issue between
capital and labor should receive the most
earnest consideration"
Delegate Currier spoke at length, favor
ing the proposition as needful step for
the accomplishment of the objects of the
league.
He was seconded by delegate Davis,
who said the San Francisco local league
had instructed him to vote for the prop
osition; also by the delegates from Omaha
and st. Louis.
Manager f. A. Schwab of New York is
about to start for Europe to engage musi-
clans for service in this country, and in
the hope of heading off this project the
New York delegates secured the adoption
of a set of resolutions protesting against
the importation of foreign musicians for
any purpose whatever, and declaring
that there is no lack in America of capa-
BILE performers on any instrument.
Appended was a resolution extending
the thanks of the National League to
Miss Jennette f. NJ Thurber for her
efforts to elevate the musical profession
in this country.
