The Yantic and the Lakes.

The worry of our Dominion n%eighbors
over the news that the ex-cruiser Yantic
is to be sent through the st. Lawrence
canals for the use of the Michigan naval
militia is wholly needless.
The Rush-Bagot treaty of 1917 does In
deed limit the number, the size. and the
armament of the vessels to be allowed on
the great lakes. In number we should be
within the limit. even with the Yantic. for
four war vessels in all are allowed on the
lakes, including Champlain, and the old
Michigan is the only one we have there.
In size the Yantic would pass the treaty
limit of 100 tons burden, as she Is several
times bigger than that. But the treaty
also prescribes a limit Of one 1%S.pounder
for these vessels, and bsu as this may
seem to our modern practice, it at least in
dicates that armed vessels are those which
this treaty ~contemplates, and the Yantic,
If we do not err, has no guns at all. In
fact, she is now only "a floating barrack,"
as Mr.. ROOSEVELT has described her, as.
signed to State service.
The story of her contemplated employ.
ment is very simple. The Yantic is an old,
bark rugged wooden craft, built thirty
three years ago at Philadelphia. After
service of various sorts she was sent to the
South Atlantic, and there remained until
quite used up for even ordinary cruis-
ing and station duty. She was con.
demned, and would in time presumably
haye been offered for sale to the highest
bidder, when the idea was suggested of
allowing the Michigan naval militia to use
this craft in precisely the same way that
the New York militia uses the sailing ship
New Hampshire, which is nearly eighty
years old. Practically both the Dominion
and our own Government are far better sup.
piled with naval resources than any the
Yantic could furnish, in their revenue cut
tiers and their big merchant vessels capable
of being armed and turned into cruisers.
We will suggest one point to our Cana

Still True.

The Buffalo Courier Record, aDemocratic
newspaper which refused to support BRYAN,
but which afterward signifled Its intention
to support the Democratic ticket provided
the Chicago platform was not made too
prominent, says now that 1t will support
the Republican nominee of Mayor for Buff
falo, for the reason that the Democratic
candidate stands on the Chicago platform
undisguised.
With full respect for our contemporaries
stea ifastness, 1t makes no difference
whether the candidate of any Demo.
cratic municipal organization stands on the
Chicago platform or Off it. For example,
Tammany Hall of New York, like the
Democratic organization of Buffalo, Is not
Its own master; it is the slave Of the National
Democratic party. 1t may have beliefs Of
Its own and it may put them In writing,
but what it believes or what it writes is
nothing, for the reason that it is pledged,
beyond its power to resist, to anything the
Democracy may decide upon.

Six weeks ago we had news of the dis.
covery Of a conspiracy against President
ZELAYA of Nicaragua. He had offended
the military and political leader Of the
Conservative party, Gen. PAEz, and he was
detested by that party because Of his in.
triguing for another term OF Office. 1t was
said that he had prosecuted his rivals, op.
pressed the people, robbed the treasury,
used the army in the interest of his ambi.
ton, and tried to gain control of all the
property in the country by instituting a
Banco ~Hipothicario.
AS soon as the conspiracy was discovered,
ZELAYA gave orders for the arrest of it's
authors. But by that time they had fed
from the capital, taken up arms, gained
recruits, and were in revolt; they soon cap
tured Granada, the largest city in the
country, seized a steamer at one of the
ports of Lake Nicaragua, and were strength
ened by sympathetic uprisings at Jinotepe,
Brito, and other places; it was feared that
they would march upon Managua. where
President ZELAYA held his army in expec.
tation of their approach.
There were harum- scarum times in Mica
ragua during the ten days between Sept. 10
and Sept. IS.
After the conservative belligerents had
enjoyed a few days of glory, and while yet
Gen. PAEz was full of hope for the revolu-
ton, ZELAYA sent his troops after them.
There was a fight at Granada, which was
recaptured by the Government forces; there
was a fight near Rivas, in which the
rebels were defeated; there was a fght
at Carazo, with the same result; there
were small fights at other places, all of
which were won by ZELAYA's army. The
party in revolt were now discouraged;
the fighting members of it took to the
mountains or crossed the frontier into
Costa Rica, or surrendered the men who
had seized the steamer on Lake Nicaragua
abandoned it; Gen. PAEz, who started out
to overthrow ZELAYA and take his place,
shot himself. The affair was of less than a
fortnight's duration the original conspira-
tors had made a bad job of it; they had not
time TO get more than a few hundred men
under arms; the Government was too quick
for them. 1t is possible hat President
ZELAYA has now a chance of getting an
other term of Office.
AS soon as the outbreak was suppressed
ZELAYA ordered the arrest of all the men
who had been suspected of fayoring it. 1t
is reported from Managua that gangs of
them have arrived there heavily manacled
and chained together. We suppose that
there has been, or will be, shooting at the
barracks.
There is no reason to believe, however,
that the spirit of instruction has been
crushed or that the Government will be
helped by the reign of terror. Nicaragua
is in Mysteries; and it is probable that
there will be II more formidable attempt TO
overthrow ZELAYA before the time for the
Presidential election, which is to be held
next month, unless he shall follow the ex-
ample of BARRIos of Guatemala and pro,
claim himself dictator.

Logic for Connecticut Students.

These somewhat Mugwumpish remarks
upon the square affirmation by the New
York Republicans of the principles on
which the campaign Of 1896 was fought
and won, proceed from the Hartford Cour-
ant, a newspaper of which the Hon. JOSEPH
r. HAwLEY was formerly the editor:

Since Senator HAwLEY disclaimed re-
sponsibility for the utterances Of the Hart
ford Courant, its definitions have lacked
the authority they possessed in other times.
Nevertheless, the Senator must retain some
remnant of his old interest in a newspaper
which was for so many years regarded as
the vehicle of his straightforward partisan

disingenuous to assert the principles of

The logical candidate for Tammany was
SETH Low. 1t is true that as an independent
his canvass will be a side show for Tammany,
but II it got his vote directly it would gain
twice as much. Low and Tammany agree in
separating national politi' $ from municipal
politics." The platform he drew up for himself
is similar in its claptrap to that Of Tammany.
Moreover, he deserved Tammany's nomination
because he was careful in the extreme to avoid
possible offence to Tammany while his agents
were securing the town after signatures favor
able to his candidacy. Not oven the name of
Tammany escaped his lips. Only at the last
moment when he was forced to play his last
card for the Republican nomination did he say
one word against Tammany. and that disparag-
ing remark he would have recanted, doubtless,

dian friends for the relief OF their anxiety.
A few years ago It was proposed to build a
practice ship for the Annapolis cadets. A
Michigan firm made the lowest bid for the
hull and machinery; and yet, although the
vessel was not to be retained on the lakes,
nor even to be armed until after being
taken to the Atlantic, our Government re.
fused the bid, and paid more for the Ban
croft, solely out Of %scrupulous care not to
seem to violate the treaty Of 1917. Still
later, the incident was repeated almost cX-
actly in the case of another small %gunboat,
for which a Michigan firm offered the lowest
bid. Is 1t to be supposed that we should
lave kept the letter of the law so strictly

As n matter of fact, even In the Yantic's

opinion from the Judge Advocate General
of the navy that her use by the Michigan
militia would not be an infraction of the
agreement, was that use allowed. Our
Dominion %neighbors need not fear. So
long as our merchant marine on the lakes,
capable of serving as cruisers, far ex-
ceeds hers, we shall take care not to risk
the abrogation of a contract under which
the many scores of British gunboats and
torpedo boats which would otherwise have
the right to enter the lakes by the st. Law
enc and the canals must stay out.

CAUGHT 4 WALKING FISH.

From the Pacific Commercial Advertiser.

From the Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
Frank Davey. the photographer. Is the pos
SCISSOR of IA very strange fish, which, after having
exhibited TO n number Of friends while still
alive, he put into alcohol to keep. The fish is
known to some people here, but is quite rare.
Its homo is in the deep water, and If the story
told by the Chinaman who procured it, namely,
that the catch was made in comparatively
shallow water just outside Of the harbor, is to
be depended on, the occurrence Is indeed I'M
usual.
1t is about three inches in length. and when
alive was of a brlkht yellow hue, with spots OF
black here and there. Its mouth Is quite large,
and the part of tho body nearest Is correspond.
ingly large. 1t then tapcrs off to n small tail.
But the peculiar part is that there are no gills
or what are popularity known as such. Where
these should be the skin is just as it Is all over
the body. At a distance of about half an inch
and protruding from tho belly near tho central
part are what might be called arms or legs.
They arc .ioiited and have some ten very iine
claws. These, together with another pair fur
thcr anterior, the fish, when alive. used TO
walk about with on the bottom of the jar in
which II was contained.
1t would show fight instantly when ap-
preached, and gave every sign OF being en-.
dowed with the spirit OF the evil one, bristling
up its fins, swapping its sharp teeth, elevating a
sharp, knifclike appcndage on the top of its
nose, and sending two currents OF wafer from
holes or false gills just back Of the large, arm.
like appcndagcs mentioned above.
When the fish was killed and placed in alec.
hol the bright yellow disappeared entirely, and
left in its place "a whitish color.
