as the Dominion of Canada restricts trade
10 BRUSH vessels between Canadian ports.
Under the British law, any nation which
elects TO a3ow British vessels to engage
IN Us coasting trade can obtain The privi-
lege OF entering the coastiug trade of Can
ada The United States has never awaited
itself of this opportunity holding that the
privilege TO be sranted is very much more
valuable than the privilege 10 be obtained.
The restriction of trade between the
United States and Porto Rico to American
vessels Is based on the policy which the
United States has always followed under
all administrations, a fact overlooked by
the European press. There seems TO be no
disposition here TO change this policy in
this sphere from the mere fact that by the
possession Of The Philippines the United
States must determine whether it will fol-
low the open door policy OF other nations
with possessions by seizure or concession
on the east coast Of Asia.
Commercially the restriction of the
trade between The United States and Porto
Rico is Of relatively little moment as the
direct commerce is very small and is alb
sorbed by American and Canadian vessels
The value of Porto Rico is as a fulcrum
for the development of American CON-
merce in the West Indies"

The Horse In Berlin.



A veteran cavalry horse partakes of the
hopes and fears of battle just the same
as his rider. AS the column swings into
line and waits, the horse grows nervous
over the waiting. If the wait is spun out,
he will tremble and sweat and grow APP
prehensive. If he has been six months
in service he knows every bugle call. As
the call comes to advance the rider can
feel him working a the bit with mis- ton
que 10 get it between his teeth. AS he
moves out he will either seek to get on
faster than he should or bolt. He can
not bolt, however The lines will carry
him forward, and after a minute he will
grin, lay back his ears, and one can feel
his sudden resolve to brave the worse and
have done with It as soon as possible.
A man seldom cries out when hit in the
turmoil of battle. 1t is the same with a
horse. Five troopers out of six, when
struck with bullet, are out of their sad
dies within a minute. II hit in the breast
or shoulder, up go their hands and they
get a heavy fall; if in the leg or foot or
arm, they fall forward and roll off. Even
with foot cut off by Jagged piece Of
shell a horse viii not drop. 1t is only
when shot through the head or heart that
he comes down. He may be fatally wound
ed. but hobbies out of the fight to right
or left, and stands with dropping mead
Until loss of blood brings him down. The
horse that loses his rider and is unwound-
ed himself will continue TO run with his
set of fours until some movement throws
him out. Then he goes galloping here and
there, neighing with fear and alarm, but
he viii not leave the field. In his racing
about he may get among the dead and
wounded. but he will dodge them If Dos
sible, and, in any case, leap over them.
When he has come upon three or four
other riderless steeds, they fan in and
keep tohether as if for mutual protection,
and the rally on the bugle may bring
the whole of them into ranks in a body.

BIG PURCHASE OF COAL.
Great Northern Bays 100000 Tons in

Pittsburg. Nov 27.-The Dispatch to-

for stating that the Great Northern Rail-

West Virginia coal operators for 100000
tons of coal at SIPS delivered at sandusky,
