A BRAVE AMERICAN SAILOR.


The sailor, who was quarter gunner on
the vessel. and had charge of the mems

tomary salute and, after a moments
reflection, replied, Nothing, sir. as 1
knows on, 'cept you might let some
'un else give out the hammocks. when
they're piped down.
Reuben James was true type of the
old-time tar. of the kind who looked
upon a mere landsman as an individual
to be pitied. if not despised. He was
a native OF Delaware. and became a
sailor when mere lad. In 1897, he was
captured Dy 2 French privateer and
suffered great hardship. That expert
ence only intensified his love for a life
on the ocean wave. and upon his liber-
alton he shipped aboard the Constella-
ton. in 1893, and he took part in the
battle between that frigate and the
French warships, Insurgent and Ven
geance. In 1904, he Joined the famous
frigate. United States. and was one of
those who volunteered to accompany
Lieutenant Stephen Decatur. when that
fearless spirit determined to destroy

LOOKING BEYOND THE WAR
Senator Chandler Talks of the Broader Results of the
Conflict With Spain.

Senator William E. Chandler of New
Hampshire is one of the few men at the
front of public life at the capital today
who were active as young men in the
larger war days of what Horace Gree
ley aptly called THE great conflict He
was conspicuous in the national senate
in the recent debates as an advocate of
the recognition of Cuban independence,
concurrently with the declaration of
war, and was largely instrumental in
securing the adoption of the joint reso-
luton asserting that the people of Cuba
are and of right ought to be independ-
ent," which Spain treated as a direct
challenge to war, and which the his

Yes. Assuming that we can first ar
range a basis for fair adjustment of
disputes between England - and the
United States in such way as would
distinctly guarantee 10 this country
absolute equality with England as a
great power, and a distinct recognition
of certain fundamental American prin-
ciples-notably the Monroe doctrine
believe there are good reasons for such
an alliance. There is not merely our
common language and the tie of race,
but, as regards international questions,
there is a broad community of inter
eSts. The general policy Of England is
in accordance with ours; that is to say.
she wants open ports everywhere all
over the world, and so do we. She
gives her colonies greater freedom than
any other nation, and that, too, is in
line with our American idea. So far as
we have sympathieS with the colonies
of European nations. We certainly have
more sympathy with English colonies
than with any other. So that if the
continent of Asia, like the continent of
Africa, is to be divided up among the
European powers. it is more in accord
ance with our natural sympathies. as
we'll as in line with our material inter-
ests. for US to prefer that England
should get the largest share of it.
1T may be said, and truly, that we
are opposed on principle to this method
of parttioning Africa and Asia by
armed force. 1t is doubtless the feeling
of the American people that there is
an element of robbery and wrong in
this seizure by the European powers
of the territory Of Asiatic and African
peoples. Nevertheless, it is settled as
a matter of fact that this business of
partitioning is going on. and the United
States will not undertake to oppose it |
by force-which is the only way in |
which we could do anything TO stop it. |
It being settled, therefore, that the par |
of Asia and Africa will take |
place (and as a matter of fact has al |
ready taken place, to large extent,
and is going on to the end) our sym
pathies and our interests unite 10 make
US prefer that England should acquire
control rather than the other European
powers

The naval history of the United
States is repIete with instances of in
dividual bravery and heroism, that
have made Uncle Sans sturdy tars
especially dear to the hearts of all
patriotic Americans.
One of the most remarkable of these
heroic deeds, the unusual character of
which has given it a special page in
the naval annals of this country was
that of Reuben James, an ordinary
seaman, who saved the life of his COM
mander. the famous Commodore
Stephen Decatur, by a deliberate act
of self-sacrifice that has hitherto re-
manned unequalled.
During a battle with Tripolitan war
vessels, in the early part of the pres
ent century, Decatur boarded one of
the enemy's ships to revenge the death
of his brother, who had been treacher-
ously killed by a Tripolitan COM
mander. The latter was singled out for
attack by Decatur. as soon as he got
aboard. and a fierce hand-to-hand con-
flict ensued The Turk was a large,
powerful man, and grappled Decatur,
both men falling on the deck. Just
