A COMMON EXPERIENCE.
How Some office Seekers Fare with
the Mckinley AdmInIstration-He
Was willing to Walt.

Washington, April 20. - 1t
was week after Mckinley's
Inauguration. Colonel Bine
Koozer (that is not his name,
but it will do just as well to
call him so) was talking to a
crowd of friends.
Il, of course. am not seeking
the Office" said he, putting
away at a fancy-priced cigar,
but siuce Major Mckinley is
anxious that my services dur
ing the campaign be rewarded,
| cannot well refuse. OF course
it viii mean a great personal
sacrifice to me, but a man must
serve his country, sir. Great
man, is Mckinley. He is the
biggest man since George
Washington"
The colonel continued pat
ronizingly: Il want You fellows
to drop in on me at the Airing
ton and take dinner with me.
The fare there is passably
good. only passably. Come in
here and let's have a good cigar
and a drink" And the crowd
went in neighboring saloon
and took whisky and l5-cent
smokers.
Yesterday one Of the crowd
met the colonel on a side street.
His glossy silk hat was a bit
rough and his collar might
have been II shade cleaner.
"Well, colonel" said his
friend, have you received
that appointment YETI"
We'll, no." said the colonel.
The fact is, some scoundrel is
circulating reports about me,
and that man Mckinley has
listened to them. Say, have
you Il cigarette!" And elauc-
ing at Il neighboring clock, the
colonel continued: It's just
about lunch time, and | know
the best place in town to get a
real pice meal. Come, let's go
up and get a sandwich and a
cup Of coffee" D."

A FOREIGN wARsHIP
Enters the Port of New York UnehaI-
Ien9ed. UnRreeteG-Shows Great
Lack Of Our Diligence.

New York, April 21.-The
British cruiser. Talbot came into
New York harbor today, dipped
her flag at the Narrows, fired a
salute rs she passed the ports
on either hand, and. receiving
no response, steamed up TO the
city.
There was no sign of life at
the forts as the Talbot. which is
to represent the British govern
ment at the Grant ceremonies
April ~, threaded her way up
past the forts and came to
anchor in the North River. No
pilot had been sent down to
board her. Her own pilot,
therefore, picked the way among
the craft to the anchorage in the
river.
Il did not know the rules of
the port" said Captain Gam
bic, but we found our way in
all right. 1t seems strange that
a foreign warship should have
so little trouble in entering the
har0or of a great city-to enter
unchallenged and, too, un-
greeted"
On board the Talbot are the
members of the Royal Commits
sion which has been conducting
an investigation of the admins
tration of affairs in Bermuda.
Everybody on board the war
ship seemed aggrieved ut the
failure of the forts to respond TO
the usual salute. Colonel Worth,
commandant at Governors is
land, said OH the subject:
Our British friends have n
perfect right to feel hurt. But
the whole thing was owing to a
misunderstanding. y telegram
that was to have notified Us
that the Talbot was coming,
was delayed. When the Talbot
passed Governors Island, she
did not salute and we took II for
granted that she had been well
coined by the lower forts"
The commandant ut Fort
Wadsworth explained that the
Talbot slipped 10y mnoticed,
but subsequently lie had wired
I to the commandaut at Cover
lnor's Island, explaining the
circumstances and requesting
that official to extend the Gus
/ tomary courtesies.
The fact IS, that the Off
Ger of the day at Fort Wads-
worth was not on post when the
Talbot passed.
