IN THE CARIBBEAN SEA.
Admiral Meade's highly Interesting
Lecture at Metzerott Hall.

A large audience assembled at Metzerott
Music Hall last evening to hear Admiral
Meade deliver his lecture on the Caribbean
Sea-" Admiral Meade has cruised in those
waters for many years. and has seen the
different places of interest from both the
standpoint of a midshipman and the COM
manding officer of a squadron.
During this long service Admiral Meade
has collected many fine photographs of
historical places and old Spanish towns
and fortresses. Beginning with those Cen
trail American Republics whose shores are
washed by the Caribbean. the Admiral
took each one In order down along the
coast, giving the principal facts concerning
their settlement. and the many wars that
have sprung up, to and since the time of
their struggle for liberty.
When he came to Venezuela and touched on
the boundary question. he took small
book from his pocket, and holding it up
said:
''Thls, ladies and gentlemen. is one of
the oldest maps OF Venezuela extant, and
1t shows the boundary line to be many
hundreds of miles distant from where Great
Britain now claims 1t to be-"
Admiral Meade went on to give a vivid
word picture of the delightful climate and
easy life that is led by those who dwell
on the Islands of the Caribbean Sea, and
took occasion to point out those
over which waved the English flag.

legislation.

time was approaching when a great bCdv
of voters Will abandon any pa rty affiia ton
which is not in sympathy with a movement
for the protection of the farming Industries.
He contends that the tariff laws are de

duction. #-
