Interpretation of the musical in
cident in Manila Bay: AS the
four British war. vessels steamed
across, the Immortalite leading
the others in line, and when the
senior ship was about two ships
lengths off, the band of the Olym
pia played "God Save the Queen"
and the band of the Immortalite
responded with "1he Star.
Spangled Banner" 1t was a
common, every. day act Of courte-
sy, but it is immensely appreciat-
ed by the Americans who wit
messed it, Captain Chichester j.
exceedingly popular with the
Americans. A truly representa-
tive British naval officer, he has
represented British interests here
with an independence and con
scientiousness well worthy OF
recognition by his fellow-country.

he has won the respect and con.
fidence and admiration of Admiral
Dewey and the American officers

is what was written of Bishop Corbett:

he was a jolly fat doctor and very good
housekeeper; Darson of Ambroseden in

fell, and DIR. Corbett sayd that DR.. Stub

was up TO the elbowes in Stubbins.
One time, as he was confirming, the
country people pressing in to see the Ger

time having to lay his hand on the head
of man very bald, he turns to his chap

PLENTY OF BIRTHSTONE IN UTAH

1t is not improbable, according to the
New York Tribune, that there may
be a scarcity of sulphur in this country
as a result of the war with Spain, as
that country, it seems, will treat it as
contraband. 1t is used in many in
dustries, and if the supply is shut off
they would be materially injured. AL
ready the price is advancing some and
it will, in all probability, go much
higher if the war continues. The New
York agent OF the largest importers of
birthstone in the country says his COM
pany's agents in England absolutely
refuse to consign any to the United
States.
There is no reason in the world why
the industries in this country that use
birthstone she uld worry about their
ability to obtain all they want. 1t may
be that their eyes have been turned
towards foreign shores for so long a
time for this commodity, that they will
be unable for some little time to turn
their eyes inland and towards Utah,
which has enough sulphur within her
can market, but the markets of the
world besides. The sulphur beds at
Cove Creek are practically inexhaust-
IDLE. They are at disadvantage in
being some twenty miles away from
the railroad. But the supply is there,
and if the price should advance so as
to warrant shipping it, it would very
soon be shipped. If the dealers in sui
phur are not aware of the Utah sup
ply they should be made acquainted
with the fact of its existence. Our ports
might all be blockaded, still the re-
sources of the country are so great and
so varied, that practically every want
of the people could be readily supplied;
few countries are so fortunately stu
ated in this respect.
There is no need to be worried over
the question of a supply of birthstone.
Utah has enough for the world.

THE N. Y. SEVENTH REGIMENT.

The famous Seventh regiment of New
York voted against volunteering, and
| it has been subjected to much criticism
in consequence. The New York Trib-
une makes this comment:
1t is doubtless quite as well that the
Seventh is going to stay here. 1t is we'll
drilled and may be needed. The COVER
nor himself took that view and deSig-
them the Seventh to remain here,
though the Seventies refusal to enlist
was entirely independent of that ac-'
ton. For our part we think this
method of forming an army by volun-
teers is mistake, and the habit of
making guardsmen in public vote on
going and put them to strain not re-
Quired of other mentor it is in many
cases test of moral courage for them
to say home duties are pressing-is
wrong. The men needed are the men
used to hard living and taking readily
to discipline. such as naturally seek
the regular army. and we wish that
even yet legislation might give us one
hundred thousand regulars. But that
proposition Yves defeated largely by the
national guard. though, to it's credit be
it said. the Seventh h2d no part in the
agitation. Militia colonies and their
men demanded a chance for glory.
They must be allowed to fight. They
were enthusiastic to fight, and remain
ed so until they found army regula-
lions. deemed by the authorities essen
tial to the formation of e proper fight
ing force. interfered with some of their
arrangements. Then they began to say
it was not their business to do that
sort of fighting, that they were state
troops, and the national government
had no right over them. That exactly
justifies the governments refusal to
take them as organizations. 1t wants
men who viii obey orders, not organ
izations with rights and wrongs to be
considered.
The Seventh has done good service
TO New York, and any disappointment
at it's present attitude should not dim
the memory of that service. The his
tory Of this war will contain no picture
of the Seventh marching down Broad
way. Perhaps its determination to stay
at home will teach us the folly of neg
lecting the regular army and relying on
guardsmen for service which is OF ne
cessity under conditions which tn y do
not like and for which they are not
fitted.
There is no question that the Seventh
has lost prestige and that it will take !
many years to regain it, if it can be
regained. Perhaps more was expected
of members Of the national guard than
of private citizens. but in call for
volunteers. distinctions are done away
with, and it is no more incumbent up
on g member of the guard to volunteer
than it is upon his neighbor who is
not a member. though they are liable
to the criticism that to enlist in the
guard evinces a desire for military
glory that will seize the first opportu-
nifty for achieving it. and if it is not
seized then it was nothing more than |
a desire for display and pomp. The |
call for volunteers made it awkward |
for national guardsmen, as they did not |
at first understand whether they were
to go as volunteers or in their organic
ed capacity.
