MooNLIGHT's MISTAKE.
The Minister to Bolivia Not Up on the
Laws OF His Country.


Washington, Feb. l6.-The entire
diplomatic correspondence between the
government of the United States and
Bolivia last year was made up of II
rather comical little incident which Or
~iginated in putting II minister to 30
livia, Mr.. Moonlight, on the penitcnt
form for violation of the laws Of the
United States. 1t appears that it is
the custom in that country for an army
officer to receive u foreign minister
and escort him across the difficult
mountain passes lying between the
coast and the capital and do everything
necessary to secure HIM Il comfortable
trip and proper reception. All this
was done for Mr.. Moonlight by Mn-
ior Forum of the Bolivian army.
In acknowledgement of the Kindness
received Mr.. Moonlight addressed a
letter to the Bolivian minister Of Tor.
eign affairs requesting that if consist.
ent with the views of the government
and tie custom in like cases Major
Forum be promoted to the rank of com
mandant. All this, it seems. was in
conformity with custom and The Boliv-
ian government immediately took
pleasure in granting Mr.. Moonlight
request and the major was duly pro-
NOTED. But when this incident came
to the notice of the state department
Secretary Gresham wrote the minister
that no matter how usual such proceed
ing might be in Bolivia it was entirely
contrary to section 1871, revised stat.
utes. which in terms forbids any United
States diplomatic officer to request any
appointment from any foreign nation.
So Mr.. Moonlight confessed lie had
overlooked the statute, expressed his
regret and addressed d lot to the DO.
livian minister Of foreign affairs ex.
planning his mistake and asking that
his former note be regarded as nullity.
The correspondence, however, does no,
show that the army officer lost his pro
motion in coscquence.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Commissionel

Of land within the limits of the city OF
Aberdeen, S. ID. The land has long
been in contest. 1t was originally q

srly Of st. Paul, successfully contested
this entry, only to have his W entry
cancelled. The land was subsequently
covered by u scrip location made by one
McChesney and was also pre-empted by
McAllister. 1t was also claimed by the

Carter was commissioner of the general

LORD DunRAvEn,s NEW IDEA

Sttels
Glasgow, Feb. 1s.-1t is quite evident that
the Lord DunraNen syndicate believes the
plating used OIL the Nigilant had nothing
to do with her defeats over here. Much
time was spent III considering how the new
EalErrie Shout be quilt. Tobin bronze
was fully discussed and a good sized sam
pie of 1t procured. Composite construc-
ton received careful consideration also.
Designer Watson thought a stronger and
lighter boat could be huiit outside Of COM
posite construction, aud with this end in
view he set at work to find OUT how 10
build the lightes: and strongest so foot
cutter possible. The Henderson. Bros. OF
Patrick. who are now building the now
Valkyrie, also looked Into the matter of
construction very closely. The firm Is
one of the most expert in Britain. 1t
built the Genesta, Thistle, and the two for
mcr Nalkyries.
AftS, looking the matter Up the COM
posite idea was given up and the plating
method adopted. The new Nalkyrle will
be metal plated. OF specially made nickel

lighter and smoother than Tonin bronze.
This plating can be FURNISHED to a piano

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder i.
the purest and strongest Of all the baking powders.
he purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most d~igestible and wholesome
food.
why should not every housekeeper avail herself
OF the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a Gift
OF prlze' or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

weather throughout the entire voyage.

the passengers vas more serene thar
at last advices. C. F. Sawyer of Boston
who recently married. Miss Stevens
who recently married Miss Severance,
daughter of the cx-Hawaiian minister,
said that everybody was a~nxiously
awaiting the final report Of II court-
martial. Among the troops there is a
very well defined sentiment that severe
punishment should be meted out to the
ringleaders. L. G. Reed, president Of
the Los Angeles town council, said that
the excitement has resolved itself into
annexation talk everywhere. Where
formerly there was a desire 10 proceed
to extreme measures there is now no
other feeling han to deal gently,
though forcibly with the instigators of
the recent revolution. He reports that
many deportations will occur and he
said in this connection hat up to the
very last moment 1t had been the inten-
ton OF the government to deport
WlaeiudIli, NrIeSS, NdISlalI ana LpuI
others. Their families had been APP
rrised of the contemplated move and
We're present at the wharf to say good
by to them. The army. however. en-
tered a very vigorous protest and the
Expectations were abandoned. There
Is absolutely, he said. no danger Of any
future uprisings.
President Dole spent WI hours
aboard the steamer prior to her depar-
ture. doubtless in connection with the
intended deportation of Widemann and
six other whites. 1t was generally re-
! ported aboard the Mariposa that the
government had actually four prisoners
under sentence Of deportation. The
United Press was unable to verify the
rumor, but finally discovered a nan
named Smith said to have beer an APP
prentice of the United States steam
ship Boston who deserted in Honolulu.
1t was said that Smith had been sen
aboard the ship for remarks that he
had made against the provisional
cause. Smith absolutely refused to be
interviewed on the subject.
