Warships Must Protect Commerce.

Ambassador Bayard, in London, said {:
"Should the news prove true it will be shown
that Rear Admiral Benham was merely pro-
tecting peaceful commerce, and that no
breach of the blockade has been committed,
as no blockade has been proclaimed.
Rear Admiral Benham's action, as re-
ported, does not indicate political interfer-
ence, it seems to have been simply defen-
sive measure.
THE latest news received here indicated
what was likely to happen. In my opinion
it is the duty of ships of any power to pro-
tect merchantmen. [ cannot, therefore, be-
lieve, or think that it is likely. that there
will be any objection made by any other
power to Admiral Benham's action"

ported for the unconditional repeal of the

mittee, has embodied in the form of bill his
scheme for q uniform banking system, but
has done 90 rather to bring the whole matter

his ideas will be crystalizsa into :egislasion.

What the Ships Are There For.

LONDON, February 2.-United States Am
bassador Bayard thought that there was not
much significance in Admiral Benham's ac-
ton as the latter was merely protecting his
States am bassdaor, ''if foreign warships are
not at Rio for that purpose of what use are
they?'
United States Ambassador Bayard also
remarked that similar instance, with an
American war ship, occurred in Haytian
waters during his term as secretary of state.

OF Joseph u. Mcgee came to Carlin
as a tramp aud beng destitute he
was picked up by John Kaskett, vii
liam Eynon and Frank jacob who
work in the railroad shops, given

them He told the boys that he had
spent some time in Alaska and was
we'll posted on the mineral resources
OF that country and being click,
smooth talker, he soon had them in
terested 10 prospecting trip to that
far off land. In order 10 get the nee
essary outfit for the trip, the boys
set aside a certain portion OF their
monthly wages with which they pur-
chased guns and other needed arti-
Giles for their trip. About ten days
ago, they gave Magee Sl20 to send to
Chicago for the things necessary to
complete their outfit. Magee took
the money and sent it to Chicago
with orders to send it back to him at
San Francisco. He then told the
boys that he was going to Moleen on
Q hunting trip, but instead of going
hunting; he took the train for San
Francisco. Arriving there he drew
the Sl20 and started out to have q
good time. Not showing up as ex-
pected the boys concluded they had
been swindled and took steps to have
the young man brought back. Chief

graphed to TO arrest Magee. This
was done and on being searched but

gracefully upward, then, spreading
their plumes, disappear from view.
The following spring, walking

thistle which greets us everywhere,
the result of the child's pastime.
A schoolgirl playfully casts hand
full OF golden poppy seels upon the

trece their course by the yellow
flame in field and glade. In like
manner, no human being can fore
tell the result OF little word. deed
or thought. A deed once done,
word once spoken, starts an eternal
concourse Of results in motion. A
