Flying Squadron a Bluff to
Show John Bulls Strength.
It Had No Special Mission Save
to Warn Europe.
SIR PEARSON.
Cleveland's Message was a Great
Shock to the British.
Money is Said to be Getting
Very Close in England.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 27.-''The fit
ting of the flying squadron was mere
ly to show Europe that England was
prepared to defend her course against
the nations. do not think anyone in
Great Britain ever thought the squad
ron was placed in action to be used
against the United States'' This was
the statement made by Sir Wheelman
Pearson, NJ. P, from Colchester, Es-
sex county, England. at the Southern
hotel yesterday. Sir Wheelman. who
has contracts with the Mexican gov
eminent for the construction of the
harbor at Vera Cruz, is en- route to
that city, accompanied by Lady Pear
son.
when we first heard of your Mon
roe doctrine declaration" he said, 1--WE
thought YOU had gone crazy. You
gave US a terrible shock for few
days, for we thought from the amount
would become SO unruly that grave
implications would follow.
England has not appointed a COM
mission to consider the dispute, and
do not think this will be done until
after Lord Salisbury has made the
correspondence in the matter public
by sending it to parliament in the
Office has taken a wrong position, it
will be rebuked. If the people think
the position a proper one, however,
the position of the foreign Office will
be upheld.
There is no doubt but that Eng
land recognizes the Monroe doctrine
in its broad sense, and is willing to
abide by it on all occasions except
this one. This disputed territory has
been claimed bv Great Rritain for
years, and has been ruled by it. A
large number of the inha bitants of
the place consider themselves British
subjects, and the dispute is merely
over the boundary. Surely not a suf-
ficient cause for war. Since this
trouble has arisen there is a growing
sentiment in England in favor of a
permanent international commission.
to which all disputes could be referred
at their inception and they would be
settled without having the countries
stirred up over them. The time will
come when such board will be found
necessary, and hope to see this agree
ment speedily arrived at

Complain Against Collins.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 81. - The
Foresters of this city have asked Sec
rotary of State Olney for an explana-
ton of the neglect of Patrick A. Col
Inns. United States consul general at
London, to give certain informa ton
that was requested of him Fred Nc
Adams, a Forester, whose home was
in this city, died in London coffee
house, and when his brethren here
heard of his death they asked Consul
General Collins to look after his
effects and see that they were re-
turned to his relatives here. 1t is as
serted that the consul general paid no
attention to the request, and that it
was necessary to proceed through an
other channel.

GOT EVEN WITH THE BRITISH.
They Were Piled with Drink of Whose
Pc tency They Knew Nothing.


Pc tency They Knew Nothing.
From the New York Press: About
twenty years ago, when we were at
Gibraltar, having been ordered to join
the European squadron, the officers OF
one OF her Britannia ships of war
gave US a dinner on Board, and made
everyone of the young Americans roar
ing drunk, while many of the older
ones had some difficulty getting down
the gangway. Our captain was very
wroth. He called us all up the next
morning and leetured US. In a few
days he returned the courtesy of the
British officers, inviting them all to
dine aboard our ship. DR.. King, one
of the surgeons on board, a nephew of
the noted jurist, Judge King of Phil
adelphia, and a Philadelphia himself
by birth, asked the captain if he would
like to get even with the British for
getting us all drunk. The captain
said it was not possible to do it; that
the British could drink all our boys
under the table. King insisted, and
finally was allowed to make the at
tempt. He made a few gallons of fish
house punch and served the innocent
looking liquid literally among the Wis
itors. They had never tasted anything
like it, and could not get it down half
fast enough. At midnight each of them
was lowered from the end of the yard
arm in net, carefully deposited in a
boat and hauled aboard in the same
way. I don't think we saw an English
man foz a week. Poor King is dead.
He was the third husband of the fam
Gus North Carolina beauty, Miss Min
ME Henderson, who had been success
lively Mrs. John Tunis and Mrs. Andrew
Sigourney of Norfolk, Va. After dis
posing Of three husbands she, too, died,
leaving handsome daughter, Minnie
Tunis, who has disappeared from pub
lie view.

PULLING OFF THE ST. PAUL.
Slight Progress Made in ExtricatinG the
Big Steamer.

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Jan. 27.-Presi-
dent c. A. Griscom and all the other
representatives of the International
Navigation company, popularity known
as the American line, have taken de-
cidedly more hopeful view of the situ-
alton of the stranded steamer st Paul.
They place great reliance on the
Merritt & Chapman Wrecking com
pany, who have charge of the pulling
off of the big steamer, and they hope
to have the St. Paul at her berth at
the foot of Vesey street, New York,
before the end of this week. The
vessel is now about $50 feet further
toward the northeast than where she
lay last night, owing to the efforts of
the wrecking tugs which were hard at
work to relieve her about o'clock
yesterday morning, and it is thought
she will be further eased to-day.
