LORD DUNRAvEN's NEW IDEA

Glasgow, Feb. l6.-It Is quite evident that
the Lord Dunraven syndicate believes the
plating used on the Vigilant had nothing
to do with her defeats over here. Much
time vas spent In considering how the new
valkc-rie should be built. Tobin bronze
was fully discussed and a good sized sam.
pie OF II procured. Composite construc-
ton received careful consideration also.
Designer Watson thought q stronger and
lighter boat could be built outside OF com.
posite construction, and with this end In
view he set at work to find out how 10
build the lightest and strongest 20 foot
cutter possible. The Henderson Bros. Ut
Patrick, who are o building the new
yalkyrie, also looked into the matter of
construction very closely. The Arm Is
one OF the most expert In Britain. 1t
built the Genesta, Thistle, and the two for

After looking the matter up the COM
posite idea was given up n the plating
method adopted. TIL new vaikyrie will
be metal plated. Of specially made nickel

lighter and smoother han Tooin bronze.
This plating can be FURNISHED to a plano

MOOkllGHT'S MISTAKE.


Laws of His Country.
Washington, Feb. lG-The entire
diplomatic correspondence between the
government of the United States and
Bolivia last year was made up OF q
rather comical little incident which or.
iginated ia putting our minister to Boz
iivia, Mr.. Moonlight, on the penitent
form for violation Of The laws of the
United States. II appears that il is
the custom in that country for an army
officer to receive a foreign minister
and escort him across the difficult
mountain passes lying between the
coast and the capital and do everything
necessary to secure HIM "a comfortable
trip and proper reception. All this
was done for Mr.. Moonlight by Ma
jor Forum of the Bolivian army.
In acknowledgements of the kindness
received Mr.. Moonlight addressed a
letter to the Bolivian minister of for.
eign affairs requesting that IL consist
ant with the views of the government
and the 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 tool.
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 he had
overlooked the statute, expressed his
regret and addressed n note to the b.
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 Consequence.
