The late John-T. Raymond carried

Il HAPPENED to have a seat in the
front row that night. and as soon as
Raymond came on he spied me and
nodded. That very afternoon he and
| had been matching. and he came out
second best He hadn't been speaking
a great while. when. half turning to me
and pulling out a silver dollar TO my
utter amazement. he said very dis
tinetly;
Heads or tails. saint?' caught on.
and though ! thought everybody in
the house must be looking. put my I'm
ger to my head. All right. you win
said Raymond. and Immediately pro.
eeeded with his lines Il certainly was
n funny thing. but the audience an.
peared to think II was regular, though
perhaps some were puzzled at It's lrrel-
eyancy. Raymond himself thought I,

adjournment OF the audience another
matching engagement followed"

The Bennington Ordered to Take
Possession at Once.
TO USE AS CABLE STATION
Belong to the United States, and
Will Come in Handy in
the Near Future.

Washington, December 23-The govern
ment has determined to hoist the flag over
an island far out in the Pacific ocean. and
orders were sent out late this afternoon to
the commander of the Bennington, Captain
Taussig, to proceed at once to take possess
sion in the name of the United States gov
ernment, of Wake Island lying in latitude
10 north, longitude 166 east 1t is distant
about 1900 miles from the Hawaiian Islands
and 1900 from Guam. 1t is almost in a di-
rect line between these possessions of the
United States and is admirably adapted for
use as a station for Pacific cable to con-
meet the Philippines with Hawaii and the
United States. 1t is about three miles in
length and encloses a lagoon of salt water
1t is scarcely capable in itself of sustaining
life, but it is expected that a cable station
can be maintained by erecting plant for
the supply of water
A cable station in this locality is deemed
to be absolutely necessary to the mainten-
ance of a cable, and for that reason the
deavored to secure of the Caroline
islands, but without success. Wake Island
is said to be by right already American ter
ritory, for in 1851 Admiral Wilkes survey d
the place and asserted title. 1t Is not nhab-
tied so far as known at the present time,
have temporarily lived on the island.
The Bennington is now at Honolulu and
the orders to her go out by steamer.

UNITED STATES TO

Great Britain Will Receive Our
Moral Backing in China.
WILL BE NO REAL COMPACT
But Wherever the Lion is Found the
Eagle May be Discovered Perch
cd Somewhere Nearby,
Calmly Watching.
WILL BE NO REAL COMPACT

Washington, December $50 far as can
the French government and the United
States government at Shanghai, China, do
not involve any broad question relating to
the acquisition of large tracts of China by
France. Complaint was made to this gov
ernment that the French representatives
in China, under guise of extending the linn
Shanghai, had included in the claim certain
property, valued mainly for transportation
uses, which had been long occupied and en-
joyed by American citizens and American
corporations. Upon this statement, United
States Minister Conger was instructed to
protest to the Chinese government against
any action on its part which would result
in injury to the American citizens above
described. 1t is gathered from the shang-
hal dispatches that the British government
has taken similar action, but there is
nothing to indicate that there has been
joint action by the two governments.
1t may be stated as to the broader ques-
ton of territorial extension in China, that
without entering into any formal compact
with Great Britain on the subject, our gov
eminent is deeply interested in maintaining
the integrity of China, and as England's
policy seems to lie in the same direction,
she win thus receive the moral influence of
our attitude, which may be effective as
formal joint action. The particular interest
of our government in this matter is to
maintain the open market for American
goods In Chinese markets.

STILL AFTER ROSSER.
People of San Francisco Wanted to See
Him Hung.

San Francisco, December 23-An attempt
has been made to arouse the people of this
city to violence result of the acquittal
of Walter Rosser, the Tennessee soldier,
who killed Henry Hilderbrand. Flaming
posters bearing the following inscription
were conspicuously displayed. on bill boards:
"Tar and feathers for the twelve jurors
who acquitted Murderer Rosser.'
Chief of Police Lee does not fear trouble,
but says that he will make an effort to
have Rosser indicted for the attempted
murder of Willie Lynch, whom he fired at
when he killed Hilderbrand If the indlct-
ment is secured, which seems hardly likely,
Rosser will be extradited.

THE MATILDA D. BORGE
Arrives at Philadelphia After Terrible
Voyage.

Philadelphia, December 23.-The missing
four masted Philadelphia schooner, Matilda
d. Borge, Captain Norton, which sailed
from Portsmouth, N H., November 25 for
this port the day before the terrific gale
which caused such sacrifice of life and prop
erty along the coast and which was blown
over 1000 miles out of her course, arrived
here tonight in tow of the tug Asa Hughes.
The home coming of the crew of this vessel
which had for some time been given up as
lost, was one that will be long remembered
by their relatives who hav epassed through
a period of great anxiety
The experience of Captain Norton and his
men was a thrilling one. The vessel was
provisoned only for short run and for days
the men have been subsisting on reduced
rations. The British steamer Trinidad sup
piled them with some food, otherwise 1t is
not unlikely they would have pershed from
hunger. Captain Norton, upon learning of
the fearful havoc wrought by the storm
said that their safe arrival was due to an
interposition of Providence.

BOTKIN TRIAL.
The Defendant Denies All Charges
Brought Against Her.

San Francisco, December 23.-The trial of
Mrs. Cordelia Botkin Is nearing an end. The
defense concluded its case today with the
testimony of the accused woman. Mrs. Bot
kin made specific denials of almost all the
charges brought against her. She contra
dieted the testimony of almost every wit
ness that has appeared for the prosecution
and her denials generally were on the most
important points in the case. She swore
that she did not buy the candy sent Mrs.
Dunnng, or the handkerchief which was
enclosed for Mrs. Dunnng's little girl She
admitted intimacy with John p. Dunning
and stated to the jury that she had tried
to prevail upon him many times to return
to his family. Cross-examination brought
out at least one very important fact
against the accused. She admitted being at
the ferry depot on the day that the poisoned
candy was mailed at the ferry postoffice.
Three other unimportant witnesses were
introduced by the defense. The court then
adjourned until Tuesday, when the prose-
cution will present testimony in rebuttal

was the flag of our fathers in the years that
are gone; it is the flag of a reunited coun-
try today; let 1t be the flag of our nation
in the years that are to come. Its stripes
of red tell of the blood that was shed to
purchase liberty; Its stripes of which pro-
claim the pure and heaven-born purpose
of a government which derives its Just
powers from the consent of the governed.
The mission of that flag is to float not over
condemnation of commonwealths, put
over the land of the free and the home OF
the brave and to that mission II must re-
main forever true-forever true.
Colonel Bryan's speech was the only one
of length at the reception.
