Sailing Under Sealed Orders.

Sailing under sealed orders,
which has such a smack OF ancient
and perilOus times, is a custom by no
means abandoned in the United States
navy. 1t is only a few years since a
United States man-of-war left New
York, crossed the Atlantic, and
passed through the Mediterranean
before those on board learned that it
was their duty to visit Johannes
island, in the Indian ocean, off the
coast OF Africa. and there seize an
American merchant vessel, carried off
by a mutinous crew and supposed to
be in the slave trade. 1t was on this
strange quest that the ships company
discovered former naval officer OF
the United States, living like an
Eastern potentate, and exercising
the power Of life and death over a
whole island OF his own San Fran
cisco Argonaut.

BREAD OR BLOOD.
Why Don't Our Lawmakers Take Timely
Warning?

The National Waterman sizes up the
depression of American toilers as fol.
lows:
"The amount taken from the peo-
pie, as shown by public records, since
the Inauguration of the present public
policy (1S6S) is ST., OLE, &c., 900, on an
average of population about $500 for
each man, woman and child in the
nation. Has this enormous treasure
been wisely applied for the benefit of
the whole people? Evidence is rapidly
accumulating to show that it was not.
The condition of the people has grad
ually grown worse all these years,
until at the present time it is almost
past endurance. AS proof of this, re-
corded data will disclose that business
failures have increased from 500 in
1865, amounting to Sl1695, 900, to
more than $4,000 in 1893, amounting
to fully s2,OOO,OOO,OO Crime has in
creased 500 per cent, insanity more than
doubled. Suicide has increased 1877
per cent, and pauperism from almost
nothing to vast army of over 3,6OO,-
900. Our jails are full, our prisons
overlooking, our asylums crowded and
our poorhouses have room for but a
small per cent of the applicants.
"Are these the fruits of successful
economic public policy? We contend
they are not. Then there were no
tramps; now more than 1000, 900 roam
the country, both disgrace and ter
ror to the people. Then there were
no mortgages to speak of, while now
at least 5000, 900 burden the homes
and farms of this nation. Then peo-
pie were out Of debt, now at least
$50, 900, 900, 900 is hung about the neck
of all labor in production. Then there
was no suffering or distress among
the people; now labor strikes and
bread riots are of daily occur
renee, and soup houses are opened
in all the centers of popu-
lation. Then the people were en-
ployed and che smile of contented
prosperity and future hope was seen
on nearly every countenance; now the
pleading of the distressed, the vail of
the despairing, or the smothered curse
and demand for bread or blood is met
with at every turn"

Inc story OF MS MISSING manu- Iolu Dy

Colonel Streeter. a Floridian, told
a reporter Of the Washington Star a
good one lately. One OF the coloners
hands was missing. and knowing the
section from which he hailed the re-
porter naturally expected to get a
first-class war story. But he didn't.
The hand was not lost in the fratri-

nailed outside of Portsmouth at IL 20 a. m.
all the ships i'm the harbor half-masted their
ensigns and the first of the twenty-minute
guns doomed salute across the waters.
At this sound all the flags ashore were
dipped. Soon after the arrival of the fun
erai train, however, there was a heavy
downpour of rain. But il was only
shower, and soon passed off, although it
detained the procession for several minutes.
Then the officers of H. M. S. Blenheim gave
several sharp orders. and eight blue jackets
removed the coffin from the train and a
procession was formed. headed by the
Bishop of Portsmouth, in full purple robes.
He was followed by number of clergy

sixty injured. The Manchester express ran
into fright train which had been derailed,
and a complete wreck resulted, the dead
and dying being hurled in all directions. The
accident was caused by the storm which

England. The freight train was deraled
about o'clock this afternoon by the force
of the gale. Before notice of the wreck
could be sent to the neighboring stations
the express struck the freight cars. causing
a great deal of damage to both trains. The
express train was running at full speed at
the time the accident occurred. 1t was
hours before the debris was removed and
traffic resumed. The wounded are being

badly smashed and thrown in all directions
by the force of the concussion. Nineteen
persons are dead already, and over sixty
persons were injured, some of them, ii is
