LONDON PAPERS COOL DOWN.

London, Oct 20.-The London morn
ing papers have cooled down to an ex-
ceedingly cautious and conservative
tone in dealing with the Fashoda ques-
ton, apparently realizing that the pub
lie on both sides of the channel is, heat
ed to the danger point. There is mark
ed effort to avoid an offensive tone. The
Times says:
.'Sir Michael Hicks Beach has gone
some way to persuade our neighhors that
we really mean what we say. The time
has come when it is Absolutely nercs-
sary to dispel French dreams on tbs
subject unless very dangerous conse-
uuences are to result; but the Chancellor
of the Exchequer might have performed
the operation more dexterously."

MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
How Captain Seabury Missed Being a
Commodore.

Captain Seabury of the steamship
China was sadly disappointed when
Camara's feet abandoned the voyage
to the Philippines and turned back to
Spain.
Admiral Dewey is nothing if not on
the alert to prepare for all possible
contingencies, and when he received
word from the department at Wash
ington of the departure for Manila of
Camara's fleet he at once set about
preparing to accord the enemy a very
warm reception. He made many
preparations, but it was only in one
of them that Captain Seabury was per-
sonally Interested. Dewey sent for
the captain of the big transport and
informed him of the probable visit of
the Spanish re-enforcements. He told
Seabury of what the feet consisted,
and said he would probably want to
use the China and asked Seabury if
he would like to retain command and
take part in the fun. Dewey's plan
was to use the China as a ram. She
is fast, easily handled, and built with
sharp steel bow that in Dewey's
opinion would be the very thing to
sink the auxiliary cruisers attached
to the Spanish admiral's feet. He of
fered to get for Captain Seabury the
rank of acting commodore and to also
give him charge of the work of ram
ming the Spanish armada.

Tommy, a boy 7 years old, whose

days. Well, Tommy. how do you like
your brothers?" asked his father. "Oh,
they are both very funny said Tom

1t is reported by the Atlanta Consti-

matters.

ZIG CHIEF TAKES IN WASHING.
Apia's Leader Makes Friends with
All Sailors,

Samoa, S~tevenson's island home and
grave, is the only country in the world
Where Its rulers and chief justices vie
with each other in the honorable work
OF the laundry. There is no false pride
about a chief of Samoa, who will dis
cuss high politics with you one moment
and the next make a tender for your
washing. What is more, when he has
executed the washing to your satisfac-
ton, he will ask you to give him a
testimonial to h a effect, with which
to bait succeeding visitors.
One of the keenest bidders for your
laundry patronage is Folaw, who was
at one time chief justice of the native
supreme cour and who only vacated
that position when, in a misguided mo-
ment, he took the law into his own
hands and broke a %litigant's head with
1T. Even Seumanutafa, the famous
chief of Apia, and the most influential
potentate in Samoa, is a practical laun.
dryman; and when a British man-o
war visits Samoa he is one of the first
to board her, closely followed by the
ex-chief justice and other chiefs.
1t is part of S~eumanutafa's policy to
enlist the favor of the captain. He
will discuss politics and even naviga-
ton with him, and when he has won
the captains ear and favor he will In
continently break off with: "Fa-atulia
she do your wash cheap-she got plenty
GIRL" and reckoning to dusky beauty
in a canoe, she will come on board and
complete the contract, while the rival
chiefs are awaiting their opportunity,
which rarely comes.
Fa-atulia is Seumanutafa's wife and
mistress Of the laundry; and IL, as is
frequent, she omits to return all the
linen, she disarms criticism by a bunch
of beautiful flowers and a smile.
Besides, who could grumble at MISS
ing a collar or two when the wife Of q
potentate docs the washing?"
