Lot. We think, the order-that the high
est ID rank on ship in peril must be the
Z last to quit the vessel; that, as occurred
q few years ago, even stowaway, who
is almost criminal in sailors eyes, must
take precedence of the captain in secur-
ing safety. The origin of the rule is, we
fancy, policy-that the state or the own

ity to the last-but it has become an Ell
quette and a pride, and in the records of
hundreds of wrecks you will find few in

end of almost every telegram of marine

In other words, discipline has continued
for centuries under the pressure of the
same necessities, and the same ideas, has
extinguished in class by no means de-
void either of faults or vices, most ma
tural and tempting form of selfshness
has induced whole series of men, many
of them hardly educated, to face slow
and painful form of death rather than
fail in the performance of professional
duty. That is wonderful result of train
ing, and it is one which makes those who
see it clearly doubt whether the modern
world is altogether in the right path.
The old ideal for the formation Of
character was discipline, hardship, pres
sure, alike from the law and from teach
ers and from opinion, and it certainly
produced many of the virtues, especially
that one of obedience, which the world
everywhere but on shipboard-where
there are few unrealities and men carry
their lives in their hands--has taken to
despising. The modern idea is that dis
cipline even for children is an oppressive
thing; that it turns men into machines,
and it quenches individuality that it is,
in short, unpleasant, whereas pleasant
ness is the end of life.
We see the result of the change in the
disappearance of many forms of oppres-
sion, and lighter atmosphere for men
to move in, and we see it also in the
slow disappearance of many noble ele-
ments in character. The old system,
working with good material, produces
as its perfect result Admiral Tryon. The
new, working also on the right material.
produces the British agitator.
Admiral Tryon was no doubt brave
man and gentleman without help from
the service or its traditions, but the
service had annealed his character into
what it was, something for a nation to
be proud of, which would hardly have
been exhibited or have existed amid the
indiscipline and softness of civil life.
When one hears of such man SO meet
ing such an end, it is difficult not to
doubt whether liberty as now inter
preted is such perfectly good thing;
whether instant obedience to command
is not better training; whether pressure
from all sides, from service rules, opin-
ion and hardship together, does not weld
men into something worthier of the as
pirations which, while men have con-
sciences, they never quite get rid off,

willing to share their income with charm
ers in gowns.
Mems hearts have hardened, but in
most of them there is soft spot still,
susceptible of feminine wiles. You must
not feel above little coquettish arts, as
Boston girls are too apt to do. Roll up
your eyes like duck in thunderstorm.
You may seem to yourself perfect idiot,
but the young man upon whom you have
designs will like it. A single killing
glance will do more toward making an
impression upon him than dozen Greek
quotations accurately given. Platter
him. The more barefaced and open your
admiration the more it will tickle his
vanity. Praise his figure. No man ever
lived who did not secretly and away
down in the bottom of his heart consider
himself rather better looking than the
Apollo Belvedere.
Take him out for walk some dreamy
winter twilight, when everything in
clines the mind to sentiment. Lead the
conversation poetryward. Induce him to
repeat one of those humble efforts of his
own. Once started, there will be no
difficulty about his going on. He will
recite yards and yards of verses, telling
you in each case how and why and when
they were written, and when you leave
him at his own door later ON press his
hand in sympathy, murmuring that
when he took up architecture he made a
great mistake. In losing him America
has lost her Swinburne, her Morris.
That young man will dream of you all
night with a glowing sense of his own
worthiness and yours.
Now, then, you have entered the
wedge. Follow it up. Go to church
every Sunday-to his church, of course.
Take pew where you can keep your
eagle eye fixed upon him, After the
sermon walk up the aisle by his side,
and ask him to join you in that interest
ing promenade on Commonwealth ave-
nue.. Hint at walk in the afternoon.
Go for him! You will have to face the
family, which is trying, especially as
papa evidently longs to ask what your
intentions are, and whether you can
support a husband in proper style or not.
But in the glorious cause of progress
there are some sacrifices to be made,
some unpleasant situations to live
through.
Ask him if you may speak to his ia
Their. Mention the amount of your in
come. Own up to the greataunt who
was hanged for witch at Salem-he
will like you all the better for it. Re-
mind him that your waist is only twenty
four inches, and can be easily adapted
to ready made clothes. Tell him you
have no expensive habits and spotless
past: that you do not object to his hav-
ing latchkey and keeping on with the
Somerset and the Puritan clubs; that
you will allow him so much year and
a valet; that he may have his own way
in everything and never be asked a
question.
There may be cold and relentless ma
lures that can withstand such appeals,
but they are not many. Dear girl, if
you have done your work well, he is
yours, and the May moon will witness
Jacks head upon your shoulder and
hear Jacks shy, enraptured murmur,
"Dear Emily, am yours!'

Late News.
Associated Press.

Washington, July 1S.--Much interest
was aroused in official circles here today
by the publication of long statement
purporting to contain extracts from dis
patches sent out by Secretary Gresham
to the Japanese government, saying the
United States views with regret the
levying Of an unjust war by Japan upon
a weak and defenseless nation like
Corea.
The history of the incident begins
with the Corean rebellion, when upon
the application of the king, the United
States sent the warship Baltimore to
Chemulpo. Almost simultaneously the
Japanese and Chinese government sent
military forces to aid the king in his
efforts to stamp out the rebellion. They
were successful, and when quiet was re-
stored, the Coreans suggested a with
drawal Of the foreign troops. This was
not so easily accomplished. The Chin
ese and Japanese have always been at
odds whenever Corea was concerned,
for each had long cherished designs up
on the autonomy of that country. How
ever the Chinese were willing to with
draw, IL the japanese would do the
same. but the latter country discovered
that she had a number of grievances
against the Coreans on account Of mall
administrations, and making a series Of
demands, some of which touched the
very existence of Corea as an inde-
pendent nation Japan announced that
her troops would not be withdrawn un-
til these conditions were met.
At this point the attention and inter
est of other nations was strongly used,
and It. was seen that the peace Of all
Northern Asia was in jeopardy, and
powers that had great interests there
began to consider what should be done
to dissuade Japan from pursuing a
course that promised to break down the
integrity of the little nation that had
served as buffer between the two
Asiatic nations. Great Britain and Rus
sia and France interposed with pacific
remonstranees, but these were unheeded
by Japan. Then the United States was
drawn into the matter. We have large
interests in China and Japan, and pros
poets of greatly enlarging our trade re-
lations, and when the United States
minister, Baum, at Toxic, represented
the conditions to the state department
1t was felt to be not only to our own
interest, but for the good Of all con-
cerned. to reinforce the efforts Of the
great European powers to prevent a
conflict that would be disastrous to
both sides.

DIREFUL PREDICTIONS.
Gov. Hogg Takes Gloomy View Of the
Future.

Austin, Tex, July 1S.-Gov. Hogg was
presented with gold watch today by
the officers of the state militia, and in
his response he took gloomy view of
the future. He predicted that within
six weeks martial law will be declared
in California, Kansas. and Illinois, and
that the anarchists OF Chicago would
use dynamite and spatter the lofty
buildings OF that city with the hearts.
lungs and livers Of the citizens. He al
luded to President Cleveland as having
ordered troops there, and Judge Cooley's
letter commentatory of the act, and
said he felt humiliation over 1t, as 1t
waF dangerous invasion Of state rights,
and had not been done before since 60
The governor predicted great revolu-
ton, and as soon as possible, dismem-
berment of the great republic, unless a
foreign war diverts attention from the
national dissatisfaction.

that he had been enormously reported
by the tellers as present, and not voting,
the truth being that he was not present,
and moved Reed to say word for a
system of quorum counting in the 51st
congress, wherein, he said, out of the
hundreds OF opportunities under the ex-
listing system, not one error had oc-
Cured. Speaker Crisp admitted the pos
sibility of error in any system. but
pointed out that the superiority claimed
for the present rule, was that it re-
moved any suspicion Of intention OF
unfairness. Under special order
adopted on Monday, the remainder OF
the day was devoted to a report from
the committee on military affairs.

New York, July 1S.-A circular was
issued today by a committee Of which
r. G. Martin is chairman, to the holders
Of the first mortgage six per cent bonds
of the Oregon Short Line Railway Co.
The circular says:
After the mortgages to secure your
bonds were executed, and before the
bonds were issued, and in order to make
them more marketable, the Union Paci-
fic Company, on the 18th Of January,
1892, entered into an agreement in writ
ing with the Oregon Short Line Railway
Company, whereby they were to pay the
interest on the Oregon Short Line tonds
as it became due. The receivers of the
Union Pacific have recently filed pc
tition in the federal court asking that
they be relieved from all obligations
Of the contract Of January /, 1892. and a
guarantee made in pursuance thereof
This action should be resisted by every
hondholder. We consider It important
that you should mass your bonds and
stand united in resisting any and all
attempts to reduce their interest"
