The Stars and Stripes.

The United States flag was first sa-
luted by foreign power when the ship
Ranger, in command of Captain Paul
Jones. entered Quiberon bay, France,
Feb. ID. 1878, the salute being given
by Admiral la Motto, representing the
French government. The first American
flag flown in foreign port was from
the truck of the brig Nancy, in COM
mand of Captain Hugh Montgomery, at
St. Thomas in 1870. The first time it
was displayed on fortress of the old
world was on April 81, 1906, at Tripoli,
when the 10 starred and striped flag
was raised in victory.
1t was said to have been raised over
Fort Nassau. New Providence, ON the
2Sth of January, 177S. when Captain
John Rathburne took possession of the
fort and captured several prizes in the
harbor. This also is supposed to be one
of the first occasions ON which the Amer
lean flag was nailed to its staff in token
of absolute defiance, as the people Of the
city had gathered 500 strong to demand
the surrender of the fort.
The honor Of having first hoisted the
flag in an English port after the treaty
of 1888 belongs to the Bedford of Nan
tucket, commanded by Captain William
Mooers and owned by William Rotch
Of New Bedford. The Bedford arrived
in The Downs Feb. 3, 1888, with 4S7
butts of whale oil. The Political Mag
azine Of that date says, "This is the
first vessel which has displayed the 10
rebellious stripes of America in any
British port. New York Sun.

Handles Plagiarisms.

As q plagiarist Handel claims special
attention. Other mems musical ideas
crowded upon his receptive mind as
lavishly as did his own, and he seems to
have turned them very largely to Nac-
count A later age, with a more scruti-
nizing ego and analytical craze than his
own, has discovered that Handel has
justly entitled himself to the reputation
of being a musical pirate, as bold and
barefaced as was ever abroad. He did
not merely borrow ideas - he lifted
whole movements en- bloc.
One charge will suffice, although
Erba, Stradella, Colonna and others have
all been laid under contribution. When
in 1743 a grateful nation returned
thanks for the battle of Dettingen, Han
del provided "Te Deum, presumably
of his own composition. It has been dis
covered, however, that the composition
is mainly the music of ''Te Deum" by
Uric, who was a chapel master in
Venice in the seventeenth century.
No less than nine movements in the
"DettingenTe Deum" and six in saul"
are cribs" Of an amazing and au-
dacious nature for Urio's work. What
induced Handel to thus appropriate and
palm off as his own other mems work
no one has discovered 1t is a great blot
ON an otherwise honorable artistic ca
reer and is the less excusable because
it must have been even less trouble for
him to write an original movement than
to copy one. -Blackwood's Magazine

The history of the case is interest;ng
The claimant, Antonio Maxine Mora
now resident Of New York, was horn
in Cuba and inherited vast estate. CON-
sisting mainly Of an extensive sngar
plantation. Iii 1858 he left his planfa-
ton in the hands of trusted employees
and went to New York, where he estab-
lished the commercial house Of Mora
Navarro g. Co. In May, 1869, he took
out his final naturalization papers and
became an American citizen.
In the Cuban rebellion Of 1869 Mora
was unjustly accused Of aiding the in
surgents. Unfortunately he CHANGED 70
be in Cuba at the time. A court martial
was hastily convened at Havana. and
Mora was condemned to death, and his
valuable estates were confiscated, despite
the fact that he was citizen of the
United States. After suffering great pri-
vations and enduring many perils he
finally escaped to New York in the dis
guise Of sailor.
The attention Of Hamilton Fish, then
secretary of state, was called to the out
rage, and Caleb Cushing, United States
minister to Madrid, was directed to Of.
ficially protest against the sentence of
the court martial and demand repara-
ton. The Spanish government though
tacitly admitting the justice of the
claim, pursued an eyasive and dilatory
policy regarding it, and years were
passed in Intellectual negotiations and
correspondence
When Alfonso came to the throne,
among the earliest acts Of his adminis
tration was to order the restitution of
Morals estates, but the Cuban authori-
ties refused to obey the order. On the
contrary, they sold the estates.
voluminous ard Intellectual CORE
spondence followed for the next ten
years In 1886 the Spanish cortes offer
ed compromise, agreeing to pay Mora
81, 800, 900 indemnity, which was but o
| small portion of the original value Of
the property. This Mora accepted, but
the money has not yet been paid Our
government now demands prompt pay

1886.
