STORIES OF THE DAY.
One Vile Sinner Whose Return Was
Scarcely Tolerable.


Probably the best speech made in the
session was that of Z. ". Mccormack,
q Memphis editor, whose seat was con-
tested by the Hon. Josiah Patterson. an
adorer of eX-President Cleveland writes
Hon. Amos J. Cummings in his budget
of congressional stories. 1t had the old
Sergeant s. Prentiss ring, and awoke
the echoes of the hall of the house of
representatives as they had not been
awakened in years. Withal il was a
very effective speech. 1t captured votes
and held Mr.. Carmack's seat when
nothing else could have held it, 1t was
heard with brSathlesS interest and was
wildly cheered when Carmack sat
down. In reply to General Grosvenor,
who had made q stirring appeal in be-
half of Patterson, Mr.. Carmack said:
Il always tremble at the thought Of
confronting so valiant a tongue-slug-
ger and so accomplished a lip artist as
the gentleman from Ohio.
His proves in this arena entities
him TO be regarded as the veritable
blUe-gum niger of debate, an orator.
Il has been said that / had reformed,
but the gentleman from Ohio had not.
1t will be q very sad day for reform if
he ever does. I-feel about him a good
deal like an old colored preacher down
in Upton county, in my district, felt
about a certain convert. This preacher
had just concluded a powerful exhOr-
tation and the voices OF the coagrega-

tain and-looked across the street. Ju-
dith's light was burning, too.
After that the days went slowly in
many, many hearts in patriotic little
Priestly. In Judith Talbot's heart and
Achsa Halves how slow-how slow
they were going! The hands on the
clock crept on patiently, but seemed to
make so very little progress indeed.
When the papers came at night both
mothers unfolded them with terrible
dread, but it was a week before any
bad news found its way to Priestly.
Then IT came to Judith's neat house
first. Judith went down street for her
paper. and the moment she entered the
little postoffice the terrible dread came
to meet her and smote her on the

larly tough old reprobate. with chicken
feathers all over his head got up in
the back part of the audience and
started toward the altar. The preacher
for one moment stood speechless and
aghast with horror; then, throwing up
his hands, he exclaimed at the top -
his voice: Deacon Simmons, fo' hedv-
ems sake blow out de lamp. If the
honorable gentleman from Ohio should
ever show a disposition 10 reform and
come in our. direction, / want 10 blow
out the lamp before he gets there"
1t was a ten-strike. Everybody in the
house burst into a roar, and nobody
laughed more heartily than GTcsvener
himself.

NO INTERFERENCE.
Court of Inquiry Independent, Says
Navy Department.

II is said at the Navy Department this
afternoon that no attempt has been made
by the officials to interfere in any way
with the course of proceedings of the Maine
court of inquiry. ana that no instructions
have been sent to the court as to line of
action. II is explained that the court has
fun discretion to pursue its investigation as
IL thinks best, and has ample authority to
7. owe from place to place as occasion re-
Quires.
1t has ample facilities for going to
Havana whenever 1t becomes necessary,
and Is entire master of it's own movements
The statement that 1t has suspended it's
Sessions, pending instructions from Wash
fngton. is neither understood nor believed
q the Navy Department. as the court has
yum power to regulate its own proceedings
in every respect.
Interested In the London Report
Naval officers showed great interest In
the report from London today to the effect
That the Spanish government has pur-
chased two powerful cruisers, and was
successfully negotiating for three more
building at the Armstrong shipyard. but
viewed with suspicion the closing sentence
of the London dispatch. saying, In sub
stance That if the United States wanted
10 purchase warships it had better do so
at once, otherwise they would pass into
the possession of Spain.

THE GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Not Advisable to Attempt the Con-

Not Advisable to Attempt the Con-
struetton of the Proposed Ship.
Senator Hale has received from Secre-
tary Long reply to a letter requesting his
opinion upon the resolution introduced on
Washington's birthday by Senator Nor
gan. instructing the committee to ascer-
tain the feasibility Of constructing and
equipping within years time a warship
to be called the George Washington and to
be equal at least to any in the world"
The Secretary incloses a report made by
Chief ONeal Of the bureau of ordnance
and a joint report by Chief Hichborn of
the bureau of construction and Chief Mel
Vile Of the bureau OF engineering. Mr.
O'Neal places the cost of the armor of
such a vessel built under such pressure at
32.WW.OOO and OF the ordnance at 81 900, 900
while he says that " the construction were
extended over a period OF two years time
the cost OF ordnance could be reduced to
$OO.OOO and Of armor to $1,6O0,0OO.
He says that his bureau could do the
work of armOring and equipping such a
vessel within a years time, but to do so 1t
would have to have adequate funds placed
at its disposal He adds that the accom-
piishment would necessitate constant work
day and night. He thinks two years the
briefest period of time in which the work
could be econc mically done.
Chiefs Hichborn and Melville unite in the
following expression Of opinion:
I'VE do not believe 1t feasible to con-
struct such a ship contemplated to be
completed ready for service within a year
by use of the facilities named. 1t might
be possible by the most strenuous exertion
to accomplish this feat in eighteen months
at an enormous cost. probably between
$500. 600 and 1890 600 total cost"
Secretary Long says that in View of these
reports the department concludes that it Is
not practicable to construct the ship con-
templated in the time specified

ALASKA BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
British Flag Raised on Soil elaine,
by the United States.

INK AtAAScO On SOIL Claimed
by the United States
Steamers arriving at Seattle. Wash,
from Skaguay. yesterday, brought the in
formation that a Canadian official had rails
ed the British flag on what is regarded as
American soil.
1t Is feared that serious troubl, will grow
out OF the Canadians attempt to collect
duty on the summit Of the White pass and
Chiikoot pass. and the Americans will re-
sist the payment on what they consider
American ground. 1t Is thought at Dysa
and Skaguay that the movements of the
American authorities will be to claim SOW
ereisnty over those two places. Last sum-
mef tne boundary line was at Lake Ben
nett then at Lindermann, and now at the
summit OF the mountains, which Is onIy
twelve miles from salt water.
The breaking out anew Of the contro-
versy over the boundary line between
Alaska and British Columbia created much
interest among officials today and calls
attention to the necessity for a final dis
position of the boundary issue While a.
matter whose adjudication rests In the
jurisdiction of the State Department n,
Is pointed out here officially that the maps
and data prepared with the greatest care
ana precision by the coast and geodetic
survey authorities sustain in every po,nt
the position assumed by the United States
with respect to Its domain. There Is. how
ever, an important question Of construc-;
ton of the terms of the Anglo-Russian
treaty signed at st. Petersburg in Febru-.
airy, 1925. upon which our claims rest.
This government fixes upon salt water "a
the basis Of definition of the ocean. while
the British dispute this, and claim the
islands as the ocean shore. which would
place the head of Lynn canal in British
territory. giving them several important
points, Ike Dyea and Skaguay.
