lie Adds That Americans Are a Unit on
Foreign Relations.
PARIS, Nov. Recommending upon
the Geographic reports received here
regarding the result of the elections
In the United States, Senator Davis
said:
1.-The result of the elections is of
course very gratifying to me, as a Re-
publican. 1t approves the general pol
icy of the administration and the prin-
ciples Of the party which it represents.
I have not had much concern as to what
effect the result would have had upon
our policy, our war, treaty or any nego-
tiations with Spain, for the American
people,
Whatever Their Differences
as to their internal concerns, will prac-
tically be unit as to their foreign rela-
tons, as they have been throughout
this war, and always have been through
out their history, in support of the gov
eminent, no matter by what party it
may be administered. The election of
Colouel Roosevelt is especially crafty
ing to me on account of our long per-
sonal friendship"
The Spaniards here are not gratified
by the results Of the elections, though
there is no reason to believe that the
attitude of the American peace COM
missioners has been changed by the
elections.

PATRIOTIC BILL.
An UnexAmpIed Instance OF Pathetic De-
votion to the Flag.


Dawson City, Alaska, July 1O.-The
touching sacrifice of Placer Bill will doubt
less be sung by the sweet poets Of the fu-
ture. This rough diamonds sturdy pa
triotism has stirred the great heart of the
Klondike, and there is movement on foot
to erect over his bones a suitable monu-
ment consisting of a solid shaft of virgin
gold, 30 feet high and 6 feet in diameter
at the base.
Bill had been prospecting in the unin-
habited region back Of the Yukon and had
the misfortune to lose his way. For II
days he wandered about among the gla-
ciers without a morsel of food except an
occasional handful of moss. At length,
just as he was about to lie down and die,
he stumbled into miners dugout.
His first word was hoarse demand for
food. The hospitable miner fastened to
place before him all the provisions he had
in the world-a cold Spanish omelet left
over from the night before and a sailed
Spanish mackerel
A CHASTITY pallor overspread Placer Bi1l's
face when he saw the lay out
els that all you've got in the house?"
he demanded.
"That's all, :" replied his host.
"Then, by jingo,' - faltered the starving
prOspector, sit shall never be said that
Placer Bill let a crumb of Spanish food
pass his lipsl''
And the noble fellow fell back dead

And each citizen grows sadder,
For you've got to get ladder

A gentle billow sweeps the asphalt pave,
And TO CROSS the street You must be cool and

But you re liable TO lose them

Yet when these summer days have hurried by
For happiness we still will vainly try.

STOPPED A FIGHT.
A Naval Engagement Ended by the
News of Peace.


Key West, Fla, Aug. 16.-To the tor
pedO boat Gushing, commanded by
Lieutenant Albert Gleaves, will doubt
less get the distinction of having had
the last naval engagement of the Span
ish-American war. Had the peace ne
gotiations been protracted a little long
er the Gushing would unquestionably
have ended the conflict by gloriously
avenging its beginning, when Ensign
Bagley and his four comrades Of the
WinsloW were killed at Cardenas.
AT the very moment the orders Tor
raising the blockade reached the Cush-
ing she was firing on the gunboats
which had fired upon her sister ship,
intent on sinking them. They were the
LigerO, Alta and Antonio Lopez
A few days before the Gushing de-
stroyed six small sIoops and a two
masted schooner, the Triumpho, of rs
tons.
They put into Cardenas Bay last
Thursday when the two masted schoon-
er Triumpho, which had been abandon
ed by her crew, was captured and
burned. On Friday both the dauntless
little fighters went into the bay, furth
ed to the westward, and captured a
Spanish sloOp, which had six SpaniardS
on board. The torpedo boats were about
to tow her out when the three Spanish
gunboats which wrecked the Winslow
were seen getting underway. A good
fight was promised, and to save time
the sloop was abandoned, the Spaniards
on board of her shOwering blessings on
their magnanimOuS captOrS.
The decks of the torpedo boats were
cleared for action and, although the
contest would have been an unequal
one, the Spanish boats carrying strong
er batteries, were all ready for the dar-
ing attempt when the auxiliary yacht
Stranger appeared with the news that
peace had been restored, the blockade
raised, and the boats were ordered i'm
mediately back to Key West.

decorated, some with the cross of the

saving medals, by President Faure for
the alleged "heroism'' which they are
said to have manifested at the time of

According to the official report the
charges of cowardice and brutality

vessel are shameful calumnies," and
the hope is expressed that the honors
about to be conferred upon them by the
French government will atone in part
for the injustice of the ISLANDERS against
