PRIZE MONEY.
How 1t Is Divided Up Among officer
and Men.

now H Is DIVIDED Up Among Ofhcers
and Men.
From the New York Sun.
The rule is that if the prize is of equal or
superior force to the vessel or vessels MAX
ing the capture all the net proceeds go to
the captors: If of inferior force one-half TO
the United States and one-half to the cap
tors Half the value of a neutral merchant
ship trying to run the blockade or of an
enemy's merchantmen taken on the hish
captors. since this kind of work is usually
easy. But, like the moiety to informers UNI
der statute law, it rests on ancient usage,
that. in turn, on the value of an extra stim-
ulus to vigilance. No one will dispute that
while such rule exists regarding captured
merchantmen, other provision as to an
enemys warships is just. This is that
bounty is given to ship which sinks Or
otherwise destroys an enemy's war vessel in
an engagement. This bounty is 5000 for each
person on board the enemy's ship at the
beginning OF the engagement, IL she is equal
or superior to our own force, and 500 II she
is inferior. If she is destroyed in the public
interest Immediately after capture, the bounty
for each person on board at the capture is
$50
Sometimes the question of inferiority or
superiority and also of the enemys compile,
ment may have to be one for judicial opin-
ion. In dividing the total prize money,
either for the merchantmen or the warship.
the division is made proportionate to the
pay of officers and men, except that the cons
mander of the squadron or fleet gets a twsn-'
tieth part. and the commander of a single

YvETTE GUILBERT AGAINST US.

She Wants the French to Pray for
the Success of the Spanish Arms.
From the New York Sun.
Another International complication has
arisen. The figure of Yvette Guilbert, TALL
scornful, and waving her sinister black gloves
IN the air, has stepped forth into the fields
of diplomacy. Yvette hasidecared against
neutrality. She wants to- pay us back for the
dollars she carried away9 with her. She says
some of those dollars for bouquets and TIE
Deums for the Spanish.'g.l =

the staff Of &c. Gil Bias whe had. as the paper
Yvette between songs what she thought of the
Spanish-American war, d For one reckless
half-hour the divette forget that she may
want to come over here for some more dollars
after while. She was probably fiattered that
her opinion should be asked on so important
subject. She didn't roll UP her sleeves be-
cause she isn't addicted to sleeves, and she
didn't take off her gloves, because she pins
a large part Of her advertising faith to these
black gloves; but she got right down to the
business of discriminating between the sor-
did Yankees and the noble Spaniards
You want me to tell you.iwhat I think Of
the American people?' she said. MA fol, that
is question which surprises me very much,
because 1 have never had the time or the
opportunity 20 think about the American peo-
ple. Nevertheless, can tell you that &C
cord1ng to My opinion, they are incapable of
the SIlgnteSt artistic emotion, and that, with
them. everything is question of figures.
ALSO, you may be sure that all the artists
who go over to America do so not to cover
themselves with glory, but to make their bar

has to advertise enormously in spite of every
thing; because il an artist of genius goes over

OUR 1NExpERT EXPERTS.

Agricultural Department..
From the New York Evening Post
1t is now a matter of established fact in

els, its crop of 1892 by 60,00O,O00 its crop of
1893 by 50, 600, G00 and its crop of 1894 by more
than 100, 000, eco. The ascertained movement
of the grain to market, and the stocks left
over at the SEASONS end let no room to -ubt
these enormous bunders. In 1885 and 1896
perhaps as result of efforts at better sys-
tenn. the public estimates varied less widely;
but last years department figures all but
capped the climax. On the basis of last years
August estimates. the governments reckoning
for the wheat crop of 1897 was something like
460, 00O 600 bushels, The departments final
report, after the harvest marked up it's own
figures to $50 000, 600; yet the subsequent ship
ments from farms to home and foreign mar
kets have proved that even the maximum
estimate of private experts-580 000,0 600 bush
els-was below the facts.
We are aware that the government has
some excuse for this extremely bad record
Nothing could we'll be more uncertain than
government employees, compiled from state
ments of casual acquaintance whose natu-
raj motive was to encourage belief in de-
fcient crop and thus drive up the price. But
the results of these mistaken estimates from
1881 to 1897, did great mischief in encourage
ing the farmers to hold back their wheat for a
higher price. Again and again this policy re-
suited in the capture of a fairly profitable
market by competing foreign producers, with
consequent absolute disadvantage for the
belated American exporter. We should like
to see some better results at home before
the department tries experiments abroad.
AS matters stand today the English experts
are fairly safe reliance for the trade in its
Judgment of the foreign markets. These ex-
perts may be open to the suspicion of spec
ulative influences. but they at any rate know
their business thoroughly, and are aware that
serious misstatement will jeopardze their
reputation and their business future. When
the Washington experts can hit as c,ose to
the mark as the private experts of the United
States. 1t will be time to talk of "agricuI-
tural attaches"

lean Consul at Melbourne.
From the Melbourne Herald-Standard. April


A Herald representative had an interview
yesterday evening with the consul general Of
the United States in Australia.
Mr.. John p. Bray. who represents the
American nation in Australia was found in
j his Office on the fifth floor of the Equitable
building, and there could be little doubt that
he was person much in demand. Indeed
one set of callers only left to be Immediately
replaced by others, and outside in the lobby
were sundry individuals waiting for a brief
interview.
Mr.. Bray greeted our representative, and
after inquiry for the latest Herald news Of
the war, stated that he was very anxious to
express himself fully en- one point in connec-
ton with the present situation between the
United States and Spain. That point was
the universal sympathy which had been
shown by Australians towards America
AS consul general" said Mr. Bray "aN
these evidences of friendship and good feel
ing between the two people speaking the
same mother tongue come under my notice.
L would like, on behalf of the country and
people l represent, to tender my most sincere
and hearty thanks for this great sympathetic
feeling shown by the Australian people in
this crisis"
Have you had any offers from people vo.-
unteering to serve against Spain, Mr. Bray 20
asked our representative.
why, yes, said the consul general "I
must mention that. Within the past few DAYS
l nave received numerous offers, certainly not
less than two hundred, and some of them I
can assure you are of very f1attering nature
to take service under the American flag in
the war with Spain. One of the volunteers
has been lieutenant in the English navy
and there were a good many who had seen
service in various wars. The great bulk were
however, l fancy, Australians. The volun-
teers were not confined to those anxious to
serve on the sea. There were plenty Of men
willing to soldier under the Stars and
Stripes" r-t -.
