The report of the superintendent of
the United States life saving service con-
tains figures that show its great value.
Life saving crews last year rescued 1865
persons from death by shipwreck during
the last fiscal year and saved property val
ued at ST. 442. $50. This WAS only part of
the work performed by the service, for it
rescued 32l out of 1927 persons involved in
disasters to small craft. This years eN-
perience has shown that the assumption
that the crews are not needed in the sum-
mer months is fallacious, and Superin-
tendent kimbalrs suggestion that the
crews be kept at there station all the year
round ought to receive prompt indorse-
ment from congress in the shape of suffi-
cirnt appropriation to enable it to be car
ried into effect.

United States marines and sailors under
command of Minister Willis, and hoped
that it would have been accompanied by
bloodShed. Therefore when the dispatches
which reached Washington Saturday after
noon contained nothing more sensational
than the formal speeches of, Minister
Willis and President Dole, delivered when
the former presented his credentials as
minister to the provisional government,
the sensation mongers found themselves
without leg 10 stand on.
