upon The entry OF Ten Eyck- the AmerI-
can sculler. There is considerable feel
ing against him. owing to his attending a
banquet at Putney upon which occasion
all the Thames professionals were pres
ent, and also because of statements made
in American newspapers that the Ten
Eycks received on their return to the
United States last year the sum of 50, 0Ooo
which is considered among the oarsmen
as if they had been given pay for their
time. However, if Ten Eyck is disquali-
fed 1t will be on the statement that the
Worcester Boat club at a meeting agreed
TO provide the funds for Ten Eyck's trip,
which is forbidden under the Henley re-

There is quite scare here in regard to

admiralty and at the war office it is
claimed that the fears expressed are
practically groundless. It is pointed out
that though the belligerents are not
bound by the treaty OF Paris the hellig-
erents' actions in regard to neutrais
would be determined by quite other con-
siderations. If Spain searched British
vessels for American goods, it is believed
she would bring on herself something
stronger than protest.
There has been considerable criticism
in shipping centres on the subject OF the
declaration made by the attorney gem
eral. Sir Richard Webster, in the house

holding that his legal doubts regarding
the right to search or capture neutral
vessels would render seizure certain. thus

A Story of Rockefeller.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Not very long ago a crowded Euclid car
bound east took on a few extra passen-
gers at the Hickok street stop. Among
them was man in a gray suit, who found
a footing on the rear platform. The last
installment of patrons crowded the car to
the utmost. The aisle Was full. the plat
form packed and the footboard lined. The
motorman, knowing the car was over
crowded. went right ahead regardless of
signaling patrons. At the corner of Erie
street a stout man waved his arm vigor-
ously, but the motorman shook his head
and pointed back, where another Euclid
car was following. The stout man wasn't
TO be ignored, however. He yelled fiercely
at the conductor, and made a wild dash
at the car. He reached for the hand bar
on the rear platform, missed it, and went
down in a heap.
The conductor instantly stopped the car
aud went back and helped the stranger to
his feet. He wasn't hurt but he was
frightfully mad. The conductor took his
name In the customary way. brushed him
off and then went back to the car When
he had rung the bell to go ahead he asked
for the names of a few witnesses of the
occurrence, as conductors have orders to
do. But the men on the platform shook
their heads. They were not looking or the
motcrman may have been to blame, or
they didn't want to get mixed up In it.
The conductor looked discouraged.
Just then the man in the gray clothes
shoulder.
Il saw the affair" he said; you may
call upon me is necessary
The conductor looked relieved as he
poised his pencil in air.
What is your name?' he asked.
The man in gray clothes hesitated
slightly.
.'Rockefeller." he replied; u. D.
The conductor shut his book with a snap
that suggested he had all the witnesses he
needed, and the car bowled along.
