The Early raeket serrIoe.


The first institution Of packet services
across the two channels and the North
sea probably dates back TO very ancient
times In the days when England was
q province of France, and during the
later period when France was a province
Of England, the need of a channel for
regular correspondence must have made
itself iIresistibly felt; and even after
the loss Of Calais the long presence Of
English troops and English agents in
the Low Countries called for almost rs
constant means of communication with
Holland.
The service probably made great
stride in the days Of the protectorate
for Secretary Thurloe, who hung the
secrets Of all Europe at the protector 5
girdle, could do SO only by means Of
uninterrupted correspondence with his
agents abroad, and, being postmaster
himself, could regulate the packets to
suit his wishes. Still the system was
not extended outside the narrow seas
either during Cromwell's reign or that
Of his successor. Tho need for such ox-
tension became pressing only through
the growth of our colonial possessions

THE wAlTFoRD CASE.
Detention OF an American Vessel by Co.
Iombian Authorities.

Detention OF an American Vessel by Co
Iombian Authorities.
WASHINGTON, les 20. The action Of
the Colombian authorities in OBTAINING
the American schooner Whtford nearly
three weeks last spring at Colon may be
made the basis for a correction of many
Of the petty official annoynnces and illegal
obstacles that have been thrown in the
way Of American shipping merchants do
ing business there.
Assurance was given to persons inter
osted ia the Whitford that the state depart
ment would energetically act in that di-
rection. Leopold Schepp, New York mer-
chant and owner Of the Whitford, with his
attorney, Alfred f. Seligsherg, called at
the department and laid the facts in the
Whitford case before the officials They
told how the schooner was seized at Porto
Cabello under suspicion OF carrying arms
and ammunition; how upon search being
made without success for these the Colon
bian officials asserted the manifest OF the
vessel was wrong and how they carried her
to Colon and detained her there for Is days
against the protest OF the owners
United States Consul Pearcy, who is in
Washington on leave, corroborated these
statements In addition Mr. Schepp said
that since tho departure of the Whitford
from Colon the authorities trumped up a
charge against Captain Hendricks and
had him Indicted under an obsolete regu-
lation for failing TO stop at Colon on his
wav to Porto Cabello. He asserted that
American trade had been systematically
hnrassed in this fashion and Disseminated
against, as It was noticeable that none Of
the English or German ships was mo-
Tested. Mr.. Schepp therefore claimed the
protection of the state department. for
himself and for other United States mer-
chants engaged in trade in the south. Mr.
Schepp said that II required only firm
front on the part of our government TO
! secure this treatment for our shipping.
such stand, for example, as had been
shown in 1887 by Secretary Tracy when
he sent warships to the Caribbean to pre-
! vent just such illegal interference with
American shipping in the Spanish main.
So far no claim for indemnity in the case
Of the Whitford has been lodged, but the
state department is giving the matter car
nest attention
