Daudet and Tommy Atkins

Daudet aud NJ. Leon meta guardsman. He
was 'strjding along in thecenter of fthe pave

cap cooked on his ear, his chiD-strap just
under his upper lip and his self-asserting
breadth Of shoulder, his supercilious features

mankind that ii struck me as an outrage
against modesty against civilized gentleness,

White EleDhauts

Knighthood is not an honor you can OBJ
tain in Siam as easily as you can in many
other countries. You have to qualify for
1t by capturing white elephant, which is,
by all accounts, a good deal more difficult
than to write Indifferent poetry or TO start
an anti-publishing league.
The Waite elephant is the national emblem
OF Siam and all the specimens that can be
caught are kept in the royal stables and live
on the fat of the land. There are five of
them now in honorable captivity.
All the work they have 10 do is to take
part twice year in a state procession and 10
support the king by their majestic presence
wheneverhe has to receivea foreign ambassa-
dor. Besides being knighted their captors
receive large money rewards. The more
white elephants there are in the kings
news the luckier does he reckon himself to

The spauish Outrage.

Secretary Gresham has forwared the
following cablegram to the L. s. Minister
at Madrid.
This Department is informed that ON
the Sth inst. the United States mail
steamship Alliance, ON her homeward
voyage from Colon TO New York, when
six miles from the coast OF Cuba, off Cape
Maysi, was repeatedly fired upon ley a
Spanish gunboat, with sold shot, which,
fortunately, fell short.
The windward passage where this &C.
Cured is the natural and usual highway
for vessels plying between ports of the
United States and the Caribbean Sea.
Through it several regular lines Of Amer
lean mail and commercial steamers pass
weekly within sight of Cape Maysi. They
are well known, and their voyage en-
braces no Cuban port of call.
Forcible interference with them cannot
be claimed as a belligerant act, whether
they pass within three miles of the Cuban
coast or not, and can, under no circum-
stanstance, be tolerated, when no state OF
war exists.
This Government will expect prompt
disavowal ofthe unauthorized act and due
expression of regret on the part of Spain,
and it must insist that immediate and
positive orders be given TO Spanish naval
commanders not 10 interfere with legiti-
mate American commerce passing through
that channel, and prohibiting all acts
wantonly imperiling life and property
lawfully under the flag OF the United
States.

Every Shoe Factory in England Closes its
Dcors to Labor.

LONDON, March l6.-One of the great
est industrial lockouts OF modern times
began to-day, when practically all the
boot and shoe factories in England closed
their doors in the face of sullen labor.
Already over 10000 operatives are affect
ed and the lockout will, it is expected ex-
tend TO 10000 more. over 100000 peo-
the monster labor war.
The men locked out are said to have a
fund of $4,000 with which to see them
through the first month of the lockout.
But il is estimated that the trouble will
cost the Leicester district alone at least
81, 10000 in wages.
The conflict started in complicated
dispute concerning the use of improved
machinery and is stIikingly similar 10 the
old-time labor struggles that sprang from
the introduction of machine weaving.
The employers refused TO arbitrate the
questions in dispute, claiming that the
operatives did not accept previous decis-
ions of the arbitrators.
They, therefore, on March notified the
operatives to stop work to-day. They de-
clare that they have enormous stocks of
goods on hand, and are not anxious rs to
the outcome of the fight Nevertheless,
they are preparing to protect themselves
by the employment of American labor
saving machinery.
FEAR AMERICAN COMPETITION.
1t has been frankly stated here that the
true inwardness of the great struggle is
not question of fair dealing between
capital and labor, bat whether English
bootiand shoe making can be carried on
III the face of American competition. The
manufacturers admit without reserve
that, even if the American operatives get
twice the wages paid in England. they
can turn out cheaper shoes, owing 20 their
more intelligent use of machinery.
Boot and shoe manufacturers of Amer
lea, will miss the greatest opportunity in
the history of their industry if they fail
TO take advantage OF the lockout. Amer
lean boots and shoes are speedily liked
by all Englishmen who have been in
duced TO wear them, for they are infinite
ly superior to all of English make. In
price also the American makers can now
successfully compete in this market

WICHITA, Kan, March l7.-Sheriff
Ravenscroft arrived here to-day with
Charlie Parker, and placed him in a hos
pital under proper guard. Parker was
accused of being the ringleader i'll the
wholesale cattle stealing that has caused
the cattlemeE in southern Kansas 50 much
trouble during the past year. Sheriff
iiayenscroft, of Clark county, Kan,
located Parker in the Cherokee strip last
week, aud with party proceeded there
to arrest him. Parker, from his dug
out, opened fire and killed the sherifi's
horse. He was dead shot, and the
sheriff dispatched one of his party TO
Kansas for more men. In the meantime
the posse got behind log breastworks, and
proceeded 10 riddle the dugout.
After Is shots were fired Parker put out
signal of distress. lie was shot through
the lung, and his right hand was also
disabled. The sheriff then arrested him,
but Parker refused to come to Kansas
without requisition. As blood poison
threatened him, friends tried to steal him
to a Wichita hospital, bat the sheriff held
him close after getting into Kansas. lie
is very low and will probably die.

pleted on Friday.
The ex-Queen has been sentenced To

room of the Executive Building, where
she was placed on the day of her arrest,
and is under military guard. Just what
is to be done with filiuokalani is a ques-
ton which the Government has not yet
answered. Undoubtedly before the end
of the month some proposition will be
received from the eN-Queen's representa-
tives whereby she will either take up hor
residence on one Of the other islands or
leave the country, doubtless to go 10 Eng
land. She has a private income of about
$4,000 a year, whicl, Will not be interfered

The movement for annexation Is gain
ing among the natives and the formation
of an annexation league by Sam. Parker,
one of the ex-Quoen's commissioners to
Washington and other prominent native
Hawaiians and half-broeds, will doubtless
result in monster annexation petitions
