NO FEAR FOR THE WOODBURY..
Her Orders Are to Keep Mt Sea as

AhSE oFueFS are tO Neep sea nS
Much as Possible.
Treasury officials feel l. concern in re-
gard to the safety of the revenue cutter
Woodbury.; ncw engaged in winter cruising
off the coasr of Maine. 1t was reported
that she had not been heard from since the
I'd instant, and the fear was consequently
expressed hat she had been disabled and
wrecked during the storm of last week
This apprehension was based on erroneous
premises. one of which is that it is GUS
tomary for the cutter to put into port at
night.
AS fact. the Woodbury. was in port on
the 9th instant and the regular reports of
her movements up to that date have reach
ed the Treasury Department. 1t is said
there that the Woodbury. Is enga ged in pa
trolling rhe northern coast of New England
in order to assist vessels disabled by stress
of weather. Her orders require her to keep
at sea as much as possible. and to come
into port only when necessary to take in a
tow or to get coal or provisions. She is a
stanch vessel and has careful and COM
petent commander.

Apply for an extension
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-12-13

The porte has rejected the proposal for
an extension of the tobacco regie conces-
sion in return for further loan of money.
But it is believed that the extension will
eventually be made, for the government
must have money in order to maintain the
$50 battalions, 1880 squadrons and 220 bat
teries of the army, numbering in all over
100000 fighting men, now under arms In
addition to the reserves which have been
called out in order 10 suppress the disor-
ders in Asiatic Turkey.
A military official who has been inqulring
into the subject estimates that Turkey
could place 100000 men in the field at very
short notice-if the treasury was fairly
well filed Hence, the anxiety of the gov
that great sacrifices will have to be made
in order to do SO.

When Mr. Kipling was dcferentially
approached by n reporter who identified
himself instantly 50 that Mr. Kiplng
should not be made the victim Of false

piled, tartly:
"Oh. you're a reporter"
Then he shot away. and over his RI

Mr. Kipling grabbed a hamper in one
hand and box In the other and shot
away. and. as he disappeared, his final
words We're:
