old Glory Insulted.

New YORK, March 1.-THE Ameri-
can mail steamship Alliance, while
proceeding from Colon to New York
Oh the 9th instant, sighted a barken-
tine rugged steamer under the land off
Cape May, on the eastern edge OF
Cuba, which was headed directly to-
ward her. AT 7 o'clock, when about
two and half miles distant, she
hoisted the Spanish flag, which WAS
saiuted by hoisting the American ell
sign and dipping, which act Of cour-
-tesy was answered by tho Spaniard.
At 7:l3 she tired a blank cartridge to
the leeward, which WIS soon followed
by another, and the American ensign
was again hoisted and dipped, but the
course and speed Of the ship was not
changed, no hostile demonstration
being anticipated, as the Alliance was
more than six miles off land.
The Spanish man Of-war was not
satisfied however, with even double
salute, but proceeded to chase the
American to it's fullest speed. Seeing
the Alliance was drawing away she
waved TO, bringing her guns to the
car and fired Il solid shot, which
struck the water less than an eighth
OF mile away from the ship and eli
rectly III line. This was followed by
two more solid shots, which FORUM
ately did not reach the mark, the
second striking the water in PLAIN
sight of the ship. At each shot, how
ever, the Spanish ship waved to get in
range with the American ship before
firing ON her. plainly showing her in
tentlon 10 hit ii she could.
Captain Grossman OF the Alliance
knowing he was more than two
leagues irom land and OH the high
seas, ordered fun steam and gradual
ly drew out OF range. The chase was
kept up for more than twenty tive
miles, however.
The outrage has been reported to
the Secretary of State by Captain
Grossman, and no doubt prompt de-
mani VIII be made on the Spanish
government for All explanation of the
Insult and the reason required for the
attempt made to stop an American
mail steamer on the high seas in a
time Of peace.

It Is the Topic OF the Hour Among

NEW YORK, July "a special to
The World from Paris says the regula-
ton Of the liquor traffic is the burning
question of the hour. The parliament
has been discussing for weeks propo-
sition to establish state monopoly in
alcohol, and to exempt from the present
taxes such hygienic drinks as wine,
beer and cider. The chamber Of depu-
ties had accepted both in spite of the
opposition of the government and of
the distillers, but bill embodying the
second proposition seemed to be in a
fair way to be defeated, owing to the
ministry's objections, when after the
closing debate, to the surprise of every
one, a bill to abolish taxes on drinks
containing less than 10 per cent of
alcohol passed by large majority. The
measure doubles the alcohol tax, in
order to balance the budget until the
organization Of a state monopoly. An
amendment was unanimously carried
to prohibit the manufacture or sale of
spirits or liquors declared by the Acads
emy OF Medicine to be dangerous. This
provision involves the suppression of
absinth, bitters, 'pick. me. ups" and
many kinds of liquors. The bill pro b.
ably will pass the senate with slight

Curiosity of Post master Saves the Life of
Washington state Lady.
TACOMA, Wash. July 9.-Mrs. Mat
tie Chambers of Centralia has received
an internal machine. Her father says
the box containing the machine was
addressed to her by Rev. B. +. Fuller,
Christian church minister, who was
Tilted by Mrs. Chambers about year
ago, and was last heard of at Raleigh,
N. G. A year ago Fuller promised to
go away and not press his suit longer,
but later when he learned that rumor
coupled Mrs. Chambers name with
that OF William Hale of Centralia he
wrote her several letters objecting to
Hale's attentions. No attention was paid
to his mrssives, and then the Internal
machine arrived. 1t consisted of a
box made to hold physicians ther-
mometer, with piece of sand paper
under the lid. A Illuminating cap, a
Lparior match and a bit Of rubber band
were SO arranged as to ignite the match
and cap and cause a large dynamite
bomb just beneath the cover to ex olCde
when the lid was withdrawn.
The country postmaster's curiosity
probably saved the woman's life, as he
pried open the box when he saw the
end OF sand paper protruding through
break in the package. The postal
authorities and the United States mar
shall are investigating with view of

looked very glum and said:

Hager and Fennell, who ought not to

Certainly there was no sign Of dis
Couragement among them when the
boys arrived at the boat house at lC
o'clock. 1t is true that some of them
looked pale, but they were all in the
best of spirits and Fennell and Hager
were as lively as any of them. The
boys launched their boat shortly after
10 o'clock and rowed at half speed
down the course.
All the other crews were out, and il
was admitted on all sides that none OF
them approached Cornell's form or ap.
peared to row as easily. The members
Of the Leander crew have an undenia

A number of the English coaches
were grouped with Courtney on the

"Well, Courtney, your boys certainly
row in the best form, and in better
style than any Of tho, crews on ths
river. We give them four out Of vi,
points. Their principal fault in oul

but their blade work and the use ol

of the Cornell boys is not SO long as he
would like, and says it is simply be-

Courtney wants.
