It is said at the navy department
that no orders have been issued look
ing to the dispatch Of naval fleet to
Boring sea this season; that no action
of that kind will be taken until the
policy Of this government has been
clearly defined or until the department
is Informed that the revenue vessels to
be used in patrolling the sea are made
quate for the service. Notwithstand-
ing this semi-Otiicial statement it Is
said the department is preparing ves-
sells for service in the northern Pacific
ocean in the event they are needed.
These are the Adams and the Ranger,
now being fitted out at Mare Island,
Cal. Both will enter into commission
in short time. Another vessel that
will undoubtedly go to Behring sea
this spiing is the Mohiran, now at
Seattle. Other vessels that can be
utalizcd in case it is deemed advisable
to strengthen the fleet are the Balti-
more at San Francisco, the Charleston
at San Diego and the Boston and
Yorktown en- route for San Francisco.
These, in connection with the revenue
vessels Bear, Rush, Corwin and Alba
tross, would constitute quite formid-
able feet.

A desperate attempt was made to
break from the county jail at North
Yakima, WASH, March Goth, by pris-
oners lowering and Melborn. At that
time Deputy Sheriff Dilley entered the
Jail and unlocked the cells so as to give
the inmates their supper In the corridor,
AS is customary. While the preparn-
tions for the meal were being made
Melborn jumped onto the officer, and
n terrible struggle cnsucd. billy f.
nally threw Meborll, but in the fall
he was still locked iii his embrace,
when lowering began striking the OFF,
Ger over the head with q siungshot
made of u rock ingeniously wrapped
in burlap. Six times had the weapon
descended, each time ib:iicting severe
scalp wound, when billy by a desper-
ate effort broke away from his captor,
and drawing his revolver fired an In
effrctual shot at his assniIant, who fled
behind the steel cage. Weak from his
struggles and loss Of blood billy stag
eeFed to the hydrant and turned a
stream of water on his head to prevent
fsint.ess and then drove the prisoners
to their cells and locked them In. A
surgeon WIS summoned and the
wounds of the plucky officer soon
dressed. From the nature ot the
weapon. which has since been taken
from lowering, it is great wonder
that Dilley escaped being killed.

Just as we were about to celebrate on
an international and colossal scale the
discovery of America by Columbus,
Professor C. H. Green, Of Colorado
Springs, T. scientist of some renown,
comes forward with the announcement
of theory, which, if true, will knock
out all our plans. He says the grand
canyons of Colorado were the cradles
of the human race and the earliest men
were the cliff d;Sellers. If this be true
Americans discovered Europe long be-
fore Columbus was born and our cele-
bration would be slightly out of place.
Ii Is not probable, however, that the
professor will succeed in convincing us
of this theory, at least not until after
we have our big blow out.
General Nelson A. Miles, at Wash
ington, last week said: SIN proportion
to our wealth and population, our army
il reduced to an extreme minimum. IL
is small but most efficient. Tn intelii-
gence, courage and patriotism it will
compare favorably with any in the
world. The same may be said of the
national guard, yet the necessity for
some mobilization of the regular army
and national guard is apparent. The
object Of the nationa, encampment to
be held in August, 1893, will he to pro-
mote the efficiency of the national
guard, to give the officers experience
in the handling of large bodies of troops
and to promote a fi,,ternal feeling be-
tween the state troops from all parts of
the country"

Gently was consumed in consideration

The utmost reticencc was maintained
by members Of the cabinet, but it is be-
lleved that Sallsbary's note was un-
satisfactory; that his reply to the main
point was not decisive. There Is also
reason to believe that he suggests as
