LIFE OF A WAR SHIP,
4 Celebrated French Flag Ship of FL,
Years Ago Now Sold for Old Iron.

4 Celebrated French Flag Ship of Five
Years Ago Now Sold for Old Iron.
The hulk of the French warship
Marengo tells the story of the ire
mendous costliness of naval ornaments.
At the time the czar was received in
Cherbourg by the most powerful fleet
the French government could gather
together, this old wreck lay unobserved
in a corner of the harbor. Some thought
full person has called attention to it
in order to provide a skeleton at the
love-feast between France and Russia.
1t reminds the French that though it
Is a fine thing to be able to fight the
rest of Europe, 1t Is painfully expen-
siVe.
Only five years ago, in 1891, the Ma
rengo was the flagship of the French
squadron which went TO Cronstadt and
received a tremendous welcome from
the Russians. 1t was his reception
which initiated the Franco-Russian al
lance, and it is the cars late visit TO
France which has published it to the
world as an established fact.
Up TO that time france had been $50
lated in Europe. On land she was
threatened by the triple alliance, the
sole purpose of whose existence was to
keep her in check. On the sea her
hereditary enemy, England, was always
watching her coasts. Under these con-
ditions it is no wonder that she well
coined with almost hyaterical delight
IN alliance with the mightiest empire
In Europe.
But the price she has to pay is great.
In order not to be isolated she places
her resources at the disposal of Russia,
and as the receiver of Il favor is neces-
sarily a subordinate IN the alliance. A
great army is an essential part of the
national policy of Russia, but q navy
Is a somewhat superfiuous and very ex-
penslve luxury. France is therefore
allowed to provide this. She must
keep up n ruinous competition in ship
building with England, in order that
Russia, who is far stronger than Eng
land on land, may not fear her on the
sea,
The Marengo, which is an ironclad of
more than 10000 tons displacement, was
a finer ship than any the Russians pos
sessed in 1891. She would be a giant
In their fleet to-day. But in COMPARE
sou with ships having Harveyized ar.
NOR, she is obsolete, and therefore has
been sold for the old iron and wood that

Senator V~andiver, with his empt,

kerchisfs and applauding.
'sThere a be but one higher claim
upon man." began Senator Vandiver,
ssthan the claim of humanity. The
feeble, the aged, and the helpless are
subjects for our care and support.
This bill guarantees a home for the
aged and dependent federal soldiers,
their widows and children. And so as
a member of the majority and n who
wore the gray, l am glad of the oppor-
tunity to speak and vote for it. The
bill provides for a home for the aged,
who haye nc home."
The Senator stopped for a moment
and then said impressiFely;
ssHome is the sweetest word ig the
catalogue. It is the child's s~olace, the
wanderers beacon light and the mari
ner's harbor on life's tempestuos sea.
s'Mr. President. / have been in open
conflict with those who carried the
other flag. / have met them in open
battle, traded tobacco and coffee, and
on the outposts exchanged compli-
ments. We we're not mad at each
other, simply engaged In a civil war"
He then told of several instances
of x-Union soldiers giving money for
the aid of the Confederate Home,
amounting to about $4,000.
In conclusion he said
81 may never appear in this hall
again after this present term, but
want to say now, as one who was a
Confederate soldier, who followed Lee
from Manassas to Gettysburg, from the
Wilderness to Petersburg, was thrice
wounded with his face to the foe and
left On arm to moulder IN the Old
Dominion, that | cast my vote for this

Senator SeabeE, a member of the G..
A. r., next spoke, followed by Senator
Williams, also an old soldier. Both
speeches were full of feeling, making
it still more apparent hat the war was
over and all animosities forgotten.

town for supper, we reached Monterey
about IL O'Clock that night. This is a
typical Mexican city of $4,000 inhabi-
tants and from the looks of it might
date its existence from almost any
period. The streets are narrow and
winding, the buildings low, of lime
stone and all built around courts. The
windows, if they may be called such,
being heavy doors with glass in the
upper part, are protected by heavy
iron gratings. This alone gives every
house the appearance of a Jail. The
street ears are open affairs drawn by
two mules hitched tandem. The fare,

Thursday evening a concert was
given in honor of the National Editors
Association and officers of the battle
ship Texas, by the Galveston Quarlette
Society. This is a society composed
of the very best musical talent in the
city, and a concert by them. the edi-
tors were assured, would be ii rare
tieat; nor were they disappointed.
The Grand Opera House, where the
concert was given, is as handsome as
any in the south, and the citizens of
Galveston may well be proud of it.
Another interesting feature of the
northumberland, however, arranged
for by the reception committee-was n
real, sure enough street n strike,
which lasted two days. In saying it
was interesting, we mean more espec-
tally to those fortunate ones who before
the strike had registered ut hotels IN
the city, rather than to the larger pOr-
ton of delegates whom the Beach
accommodated, which hotel is two
miles from the convention hall. How
ever, Galveston has beautiful streets,
the walks are good, and the air brac-
ing in the morning and evening.
On Friday the convention adjourned
to meet some time during the summer
of 1898, at Denver, Col.
MONTEREY.

who made Monterey their destination

A suit for $500 damages filed in
Judge Johnston's court at Pocatello

siderable gossip. J. C. Hayes wants
that sum from Roadmaster Shuttle

time since he paid Shuffleberger
$100, and that in consideration for
the same Shnffiebergrr was to in
duce tie men on the section west of

alleges that Shuffieberger failed to
fulfill his part of the contract, but
that he has discharged linn

wife to vacate the section house
where they were keeping their
boarders. Hayes also claims that
since 1892 he has paid Roadmaster
Shufiisberger something like 81 400
as sort of bribe for the privilege
Of running the section boarding
house. He claims that while at
Bancroft, their wives agreed that
Hayes was to pay Shafileberger
500, and for that sum he was to
be given the boarding house at
Poeatello, and that they were then
to pay $50 per month for the priv

been paid, in part at least, ever
since, and Hayes submits an item

charges in toto, and says that he
discharged Hayes because he let
