A Story of Admiral Tryon,

A gossip of theuShehield Telegraph reports
an incident in which Admiral Tryon was CON
cerned, in the Tagus, or off the Tagus, some
years ago.
The King of Portugal in his yacht visited
the British fleet. TryOn, as the story runs,
volunteered to pay respect to his majesty by
himself running the yacht up to Lisbon on
the return journey. He took command but
instead of following the accustomed line, he
struck out new one. The result was that
he got the yacht brOadSde on to a current
running 10 miles an hour, and nearly had it
upset.
This story. OF course is what might have
happened to any ambitious Young officer.
Similar cases have occurred to able and ex-
perienced officers. A distinguished man who
served in the China war tells me that on one
occasion the commander assured his superior
that if they pursued the course they were on
the vessel would strike on a sunken rock
What time Will she striker asked the ad-
miral.
AT half past one" was the reply.
GO on, " said the admiral; 4 never yet
knew You fellows TO strike rock when you
said you would.
Orders were obeyed At half past one
punctualIy the vessel struck and it was only
by extraordinary eNertiOn that she was got
off ana into shallow water before she sank.
My informant on this point had a some
what similar experience. He was acting rs
commander. The captain wanted the vessel
turned at a point where the commander as
SUred him there was not room The captain
thereupon relieved the commander and pro
cceIed to turn the ship. He ran her aground,
and ly piece of good luck between instead
insisted that his superior should report the
incident as it occurred.
In conversation the captain ruefully ad-
mitted that he attempted the impossible, be-
cause he had been told he could not do it

A BLOCKADE to be Declared.

II was announced in our dispatches yes
terday that France has decided to block
ade the Siamese coast, the blockade to
begin tomorrow or Sunday. The conse-
quences Of such a blockade cannot be
foreseen. 1t is believed that it will not
be recognized by either England or China.
Neutral nations, according to information
al law, are not bound to respect a block
ade until there is a declaration of war,
and France has not yet declared war
against Siam, and cannot do so except
through her parliament.
1t seems to be pretty well established
that England and China are secretly sup
porting Siam. That they are opposed to
Frances extreme territorial demand is
not doubted.
In the meantime the feeling in Paris
against England is growing more bitter
Just now there seems to be a greater desire
that city to have a war with Great
Britain than with Siam The French
government isn't anxious for war with
that power, but it seems powerless to
control public sentiment.
The King of Siam doesn't want war He
anxiously seeks peace. His humble apol-
ogy ought to have been accepted by
France He agreed to abandon both
AMMAN and Cambodia. He could hardly
have agreed TO do more than that.
The French government cannot very
well take a step backward. If it made a
mistake in rejecting Slams concessions
it will have to abide by it. To acllnowl-
edge it erred would causeits defeat in the
elections which take place next month

Gen. Spnola, like all great poker play
ers, used always to squeeze his hand, that is,
arrange them so that the indicators at the
corners were visible, says the New York Re
corder. But one day at Saratoga the general
was cured of this habit forever. A straight
was dealt to him pat. 1t consisted of the sey-
en- of hearts and the four. five. six and eight
of spades. When the call for cards was made
two other players stood pat. The general re-
alizing that his hand as it stood was we'll nigh
hOEeleSS threw away his seven of hearts and
drew one card. He mixed his cards and
glanced over the indicators. At the corner of
the card he had drawn was a figure and Just
below il spade. He mad exchanged sim
pie straight for a straight flush. The betting
ran high. All but the general and another
player were driven out Finally the other
called.
-Four trays he said.
I've got you teat,n said the General
spreading his hand out on the table
The other reached forward and looked the
General hand over carefully. Hold on"
he exclaimed eXcitedly, that hand doesn t
win. a straight doesn't beat fours, not by a
joyful
The General took a look at the cards as
they were spread out, and there instead of
the seven Of spades he found the seven of
clubs. although the indicator told him it was
the seven of spades. How the mistake could
have happened was never explained Cards
are printed on stone, whole sheet of them
at a time. General Spinola always carried
this card around with him, and many re-
member to have seen him exhibit it after
telling this story.

The new congress could not do better than
organize get its committees at work repeal
act aud then adjourn. II is not probable,
however, that it will act thus wisely. The in
come tax project the tariff, the state bank
issue, as well as silver viii furnish fruitful
topics for discussion. and for time the ses-
sion may disturb business rather than restore
confidence. But. no matter what congress
may threaten to do or actually do, sensible
people viii remember that President Cleve-
land is honest and courageous and that,
while he is President congress can do no
great mischief. though it may do little good.
There Is not the slightest excuse for the
gloomy rebodiugs that are in part RESPONSE
bile for the present depression in labor and
money markets. and there viii not be even
with congress in the hands of radical legisla-
tors from the south and west.

Quarantine Views Of Mayor Lamb


Mayor lamb. Of Brunswick, was in At
lanta day or two ago. and ga au inter
view published in the Constitution rel
ative Do the action Of the President
placing the Brunswick quarantine under
national control, he Is quoted as saying: 81
am glad 20 see the government taking
hold of quarantine matters at Bruins
wick. Quarantine is a matter which
the general government can handle much
better than any city just as a big city
being able 10 purchase an modern appa-
ratuS and so forth-can handle IL better
than a small city or town. II is only
question of time when the marine hos
pital service assumes control of all the
ports in the Atlantic and on the gulf,
and ! will be glad TO see it. All we want
is somebody in charge who is not preju-
diced, who IS not sectional The same
regulations should prevail in all ports,
and the regulations should be at all times
strictly enforced. That is a duty which
the ports owe TO their own people and to
the rest of the country. This can, I'M
doubtedly, best be done by the national
government"
The maintaining of an efficient quaran-
tine imposes heavy burden upon port.
The quarantine burden that Savannah
has to carry is a heavy one and Bruins
wick has undoubtedly found hers still
heavier, because she is not so well able to
carry it.
There is good deal to be said in sup
port of the views express by Mayor
Lamb. If the marine hospital service
had charge of quarantine at all the
ports the quarantine regulations
and rules would be the same at
about all the South Atlantic and
gulf ports, and they would be enforced.
A very close watch would be kept for in
fictitious and contagious diseases, and
there would be plenty of money with
which to fight an epidemic if one should
occur
There is this to be said, however,
against giving the marine hospital ser
vice absolute control of quarantine The
| only purpose the service would have in
view is the protection of the ports 1t
might make regulations that would
have paralyzing effect upon
the commerce of a port. While
it might take into consideration
the needs of commerce, the chances are
that commerce would be regarded as a
matter of secondary Importance. The
unnecessary detention of vessels would
do a great deal of harm to a port 1t is
not certain, of course, that there would
be such detention, but whether there
would or not would depend largely upon
the surgeon general. That official might
lose his Office and his successor might
make it impossible for port to keep up
its trade. Mayor Lambs views are
worthy, however, of very careful atten-
tinn

main features of it were published in our

annexation of Hawaii to this country, and
it is drawn with the view of avoiding
some of the objections that were made to

The President has as yet given no init
