hold, no visitor to the place, was ever
known to touch. Its story Is as follows:
Many years ago q mayor from the north
had an appointment to see the heir appar-
ont on municipal matter. His royal high
ness was, in fact, about to visit the pro-
vinoial capital whence the dignitary in
question hailed. The local magnate was
overanxious as to details of routine. The
prince CONSIDERABLY consented to some
thing like drSs rehearsal of the ceremo-
ny in his Pail Mall library. The day was
oppressively hot. The worthy magistrate
had never visited Marlborough House be-
FORE He was not only nervous, but also,
like Hamlet, '"fat and short Of breath"
However, he came scathless through the
interview with the prince, whose good ma
ture placed the visitor thoroughly at his
ease
Leaving the royal presence, he descended
the stairs When he had reached the last
step, he was seen to turn alarmingly pale
and apparently gasped for breath. The
moment Of reaction, after the agitation Of
the long expected visit, had come. The
poor man sank upon couch exhausted and
became unconscious. Water was applied
to his temples, but that did not quite sue
coed. The princes medical man opportune-
" appeared on the scene and prescribed a
liquor glass of eau dc vie. The butler I'M
happily could not be found. A few min
utes passed before the restorative could be
found. At last it made its appearance and
was duly administered, with the result
that the fainting magistrate rallied imme-
diateay.
He was 80 overcome at the thought of
the trouble he had occasioned that he was
very nearly ready to go of again. It was
not until his host had assured him there
was nothing to regret that recovery be-
came complete enough to enable the too
sensitive man to drive of. From that lit
tie incident dates the presence of the straw
oolored fluid, in a miniature bottle, flank
ing the full sized deoanter of water. From
that day to this no need for it has reoccur-
red, and the origin Of its appearance is
now mere tradition. Liverpool Courier.

SAN CLEMENTE INVASION,
Chinese and Opium Reported to
Have Been Landed on
the Island.
United States Officials Start on the
Hermosa to Run the Snug
glerS Down.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 29.--Col-
lector Gaffey, Deputy Harkness and Major
Harry Patton left this morning on the
steamer Hermosa for San Clemente Island
on a hunt for smugglers. Collector Gaffey
heard some days ago that an attempt
would be made to land number of
smugglad Chinese and opium on the island
from an Asiatic steamer. 1t was reported
that San Francisco yacht was lowering
about the island waiting for chance to
take the coolies ashore. 1t was said that
the yacht had large crew on board and
some reports had it that Maxim gun was
seen glittering back of the rail.
Gaffey's force consisted of eight men, all
we'll armed, tor, as matter of fact, the
trip is not at all a joke. The success of
the smugglers in landing their Chinese
means profit of upward of $1O0, 600, as
there are supposed to be about 100 coolies
as.well as large amount OF opium. Mr..
Gaffey was informed that the San Fran
cisco men were determined lot. and he was
warned to take no chances with them if
they offered the least resistance
The expedition will, on arriving in Cat
alma. be transferred to Hancock Ban
ning's yacht La Paloma. and will sail at
once for San Clemente.

OF State, before coming to Europe visited
Delagoa Bay and arranged an important
part of the Boer-German coup against
british possession of that place.
AS Great Britain would rather go to war
than submit her rights to pre-empt Della
goa Bay to the decision of European con-
gress, the foreshore affair at first sight
does not look to be of critical import, as
that matter does not seem worth hghtlng
over, but as soon as the award OF the SWISS
arbitrators is made in the matter OF the
Delagoa Bay Railway, which is expected
to result in the granting of f500,0O0 COM
peDsation to the American bondholders,
Portugal will put the railway up at auc-
ton.
The Boer-German syndicate will then
undoubtedly buy it and the Transvaal Will
tnen have secured it's long gsought-for out
let to the sea and will be able to carry on
a foreign trade without having recourse to
the British railways TO the south.
The Anglo Portuguese convention only
prevents Portugal from selling the province
and harbor of Delagoa Bay without giving
Great Britain a chance to acquire them,
bet the Anglo Portuguese convention can
be practically annulled by the German
holders passing on their concessions to
their Government.
How Cecil Rhodes, who once offered to
buy the whole Delagoa Bay district for
e. ,0O0, 900, got tricked over this concession
is unexplained. His reputation as far
seeing politician has been recently utterly
shaken

ASHORE NEAR SEATTLE,
The Three Masted Schooner
Challenger Driven Onto
the Beach.
In Danger of Being Ground to Pieces.
Just Arrived From San
Francisco.

SEATTLE, WASH, Feb. 20.-The three
masted schooner Challenger, Captain
Lonerud, was driven on to the beach near
Lighthouse Point, five miles below this
city, at o'clock this afternoon. While at
anchor the cables broke and a thirtyfive-
mile-an-hoGr wind hurled the vessel ashore
bow on. Heavy seas have been beating
against it, and unless the wind goes down
tonight the Challenger will be ground to
pieces. The tugs Vigilant and Noun
taineer, the only available craft, have been
trying, but in vain, to pull the vessel off
the beach. 1t is possible they may be able
to do so in the morning, if the wind subsidies
and the work of destruction has not al
ready beeen completed. Wires are down
between here and Port Townsend, from
which city an effort was made to secure
other and larger tugs.
The Challenger arrived from San Fran
cisco this morning and dropped anchor at
10 clock just below Lighthouse Point.
There was wind blowing at the time, and
the gale increased until the cables broke.
Despite every effort the schooner was
driven onto the shore, and she now stands
we'll out of the water. The Challenger was
to have begun tomorrow taking on load
of lumber from the Simpson mills at Bal
lard for Central America.

THE DELAGOA BAY PLOT.
By Clever Intrigue the Beers
and Germans Steal a March
on John Bull.
Cecil Rhodes Completely Outwitted
and His Reputation for Shrewd.
ness Shattered.

LONDON, ENG, Feb. 29.-Certain ia
vored Conservative journalists nave OBJ
tanned from the Foreign Office story OF
what they call the Delagoa Bay plot, which
throws the clearest side light upon the
Boer and German intrigue to secure a foot
hold at Delagoa Bay, the capital of the
Portuguese possessions In East Africa,
which would afford the best inlet and ou T.
let to the trade of the Transvaal.
There is no doubt of the truth of the
story, which Is to the effect that Just prior
to the raid OF DR.. Jameson into the Trans
yaai Mr.. Milne, Portuguese concession
aire who held a frontage on the foreshore
of Deiagoa Bav for distance OF seven
miles. offered to sell the concession to
Great Britain for 10000.
IT, Government, through Sir Hercules
Robi.son, Governor OF the Cape colony
and British High Commissioner IN Africa,
declined to deal with Milne, as it was eX-
pected that it would do, as nothing w-5
then known in England of the Transvaal
row.
Thereupon President Kruger, who for
long time has been making efforts to Sc
cure port for the Transvaal, supplied
Seeman e. Eiffe, a German firm, with
money to purchase the concession, thus
giving to German subjects, who are en-
titled to German protection, territorial
rights on Delagoa Bay. The concession
vii. soon be actively operated. Seeman q
Eiffe control the trade route, OUTSIDE OF
the railway. to the Transvaal and the main
routes to Swaziland.
