The Monroe Doctrine.

There has been SO much said
about the Monroe doctrine during
the past few days, says the st.
Louis Republic, that it may be well
to set it before the public at this
time. It is very brief. It was
promulgated by President Monroe
in a message to Congress on De-
cember 2, 1928. Here it is
We owe it. therefore, to candor and
to the amicable relations existing be-
tween the United States and the
allied powers, to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to
extend their system to any point of
this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety. With the existing
colonies or dependencies of any Euro
pean power we have not interfered
and will not interfere; but with the
governments who have declared their
independence and maintained it, and
whose independence we have on great
consideration and just principles ac-
knowledged, we could not view any
interposition for the purpose of OPP
pressing them, or controlling in any
other manner their destiny, by any
European power, in any other light
than as the manifestation of an un-
friendly disposition toward the United
States.

Deadly New Rife.

BALTIMORE, April 1.-Captain
Mark Schlaeger of the steamship
La Campine visited Fort McHenry
today and exhibited a new Ger
man repeating rifle. The weapon
is one of the first made by the Ger
man Government and is a new in
vention of Mauser, the great Ger
man frearm inventor. In appear
ance it is something like the Krag-
Jorgensen military rifle, now being
adopted by the United States
army. It is of 32-caliber and the
barrel is made of three tubes, one
inside Of the other, on the same
principle as the Krupp gun. The
inner tube is rified and of hard.
tempered steel. The powder used
is smokeless nitro-glycerine ex-
plosive, which makes little report
and no smoke. Fired at the height
of the shoulder the bullet will 60

Criticism Of the League on the Ad
missien Of Kamehameha.

Mr.. EDITOR The baseball
league did not cover itself with
glory at it's meeting yesterday.
Their action reminds one of the
nursery days of childhood. Is it
not time such petty chickering's and
strife were ended? There has been
too much of the rule or ruin policy
in this country. Surely the pub
lic-which contributes literally to
all kinds of sport-should be en-
titled to some consideration in this
baseball controversy. The fact
that the Kamehameha team waited
until the last moment to ask ad-
mission to the league should net be
construed to mean that they want
to either boss the organization or
bust it. It is a generally admitted
fact that a league of four clubs is far
preferable to three. Suppose one
of the three should break down
which is more than probable-but
two would remain to finish the
series. If those who oppose the
admission of the Kamehamehas
will agree to furnish other and as
desirable players, all well and good
but, in the name of common sense,
they should not be allowed to sever
the leage and engender still further
dissensions.
The public want baseball, and
two or three malcontents, who want
to have things their own way,
should not be allowed to inaugurate
a vicious rule or ruin policy just to
satisfy a petty personal spite.

VANDERBILT'S YACHT.
Peculiarly Designed Craft Built
From His Own Plans.

New York, March 27-The keel of
the sloop yacht, to be built for
Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., under the
supervision of John Driscoll, is be-
ing laid in Brooklyn. The designs
were furnished by the young million
afro himself, and are to say the least
peculiar. Nevertheless they promise
speed, and the boat, which will be
ready for launching in June, and
will appear in all the races for her
class around Larchmont this season,
ought to be fast one.
The boat is to be fin keel. The
fin and rudder will be of Tobin
bronze, and the keel will be fitted
with a lead bulb weighing 800
pounds. The popularity of her con-
struction is that the fin starts at the
water line forward and runs aft
seventeen feet. AS planned at pre-
sent the iib will start from the stem,
without any bowsprit whatever.
This idea, however, is liable to be
modified. The main boom will have
an cupboard length of two feet.
The keel of the new boat is of oak,
with bent oak frames, twelve inches
apart. The inner planking Of white
ceder will be laid diagonslly; the out
er is to be of mahogany, three quart
ers of an inch in thickness. The
inner deck will be of quarter-inch
ceder, laid diagonally, while white
pine will be used for the outer. The
deck beams are of spruce.
The boats dimensions are as fol-
lows: Length over all, 80 feet;
water line, 81 feet; beam, 7 feet;
depth of hold, feet 6 inches; depth
of fin keel, 4 feet; draught, 5 feet.
There will be a fve-foot overhang
forward and six foot overhang aft.

WARRIOR BALLANTYNE.
Granted Exclusive and Eternal
Electric Railway Franchise.

A Toronto paper says; MIR. Bal
Iantyne, referred to in the Cana
dian-American, of Chicago, as hav-
ing received San exclusive eternal
franchise for an electric railroad
in Honolulu" for the good services
he rendered in the battle with the
rebels in Hawaii, is G. G. Ballan-
TYNE, q native of Brampton. He
was for a number Of years in the
civil service at Ottawa, and seven
wears ago went out to the Pacific
Coast, where he embarked in the
real estate business. Some months
ago he went to Honolulu for the
express purpose of obtaining a
franchise for an electric railway,
and from all accounts seems to
have obtained it in a manner that
would gladden. the heart OF an
Everett beyond description. Mr..
Ballantyne is the last man in the
world his friends would expect to
see engaged in a conflict. He was
of an exceedingly quiet disposition
and was never docking for
trouble" as the saying is. Like
all boys born in Peeps county
town he became enamored with the
lacrosse stick and rubber ball at an
early age and developed remarka-
BILE profoiency-so much so in fact
that he secured a position on the
senior town team, which, like its
successor, tho great Excelsiors, was
the star team within an extensive
radius. He ran a grocery In the
town, and after travelling for
wholesale firm went into the civil
service at Ottawa. He is in the
neighborhood of so years of age.
His wife is living in Victoria, B. G.

An Expensive Cow.

There Is man in Chicago who pays

ing COW. He is sane man, business
man, n man Of family and generally

relatives declare him freak, and his
neighbors shrug their shoulders and
murmur things about rich men S whims
The way of it is that he possesses q val
uable building lot in choice residence
portion Of the city, and having nothing
else to do with it he put nice little
fence around it and quartered therein
his pet Jersey COW. The COW was an
artistic COW and harmonized well with
the green turf and little bushes, so peo-
ple rather admired the arrangement.
One day a man came along who thought
be would like to build house on that
particular lot, so he hunted up the own
er and mado him a spot cash offer of
$500, 900 for the land. His offer was re-
fused, decisively and politely.
