station he reeled and fell from sheer ex-
haHstion and hung over the iron railing in
a dangerous position. A woman who saw
him called to the police and told them of
the mans position. The officers at first
thought the man was drunk. They lifted
him from the iron fence and took hin into
| the warm room, where he soon died. Kis
condition was so serious that he was nof
able to tell the officers of the whereabouts
of his friends or rels tives.
After his dea. N the body was put in the
patrol wagon ard sent to the inorgue.

The War Power and War Plans of
England.

Something over thirtN-three years ago
remarkable editorial appeared in the
London Times. setting forth in part the
naval resources of England at that time
and indicating some of the stratcgical
points which England would aim at in
the then impending war with this country.
il was published in the crisis of the Mason
md Slidell mbroglio after England had
demanded the release of the confederate
commissioners, and before the news Of
Tho compliance of the United States with
!hc demand had been received in England
when it was deemed probable by the
English government that its demand would
Sc refused, and when Il declaration OF war
would have Immediately followed such a
refusal SO far as We are aware the ar
ticlc was not reproduced on this side of
The Atlantic at tho time, but it seemed to
us 50 significant that it was preserved for
future reference. II has now been taken
from. the pigeonholc in which it has rested
for so many years and we COPY II in an
other column.
