was of no use. No law could reach the
legation or any of its attaches. The
dog continued to howl and the neigh
one fisked an international war by
poisoning the dog.
1t was a chancellor of the German le-
cation some years ago who showed his
contempt for the American people by
hanging his clothing in the front yard
on drying day. The legation building
was on n popular thoroughfare. The
chancellor's underwear tapped in the

dial of the neighbors. There is Dis
trict regulation which prohibits the
hanging of ones wash in view of the

mated to the chancellor that the display
ought to be abated. The chancellor re-
piled by hanging out a fresh assortment
of underwear.

INCIDENTS AT WASHINGTON.

Washington, March 1.-The affecta-
tion of superior virtue by the British
authorities over the case of two young
attaches of the American embassy who
claimed diplomatic privileges" when
arrested for violating an ordinance in
a London suburb has created mild
amusement in Washington. These
young men rode their bicycles on the
sidewalk, and when arrested they APP
pealed to the American ambassador for
protection from prosecution. Mr. Hay
applied to the foreign office. and the
prosecution of the young men was stop
ped. But the authorities expressed
mild surprise that the culprits had not
taken their punishment, since no diplo-
matte question was involved. and they
were clearly in the wrong.
The residents on Nineteenth street. in
the vicinity of Dupont circle, are con-
siderlng the advisabillty of having this
opinion of the foreign office framed and
sending copy of 1t to Sir Julian
Pauncefote. The British ambassador
ought to know what his government
thinks of man who shirks his duties
as a resident by pleading diplomatic
privileges. Possibly English sentiment
would make Sir Julian See the necessi-
ty for cleaning the snow from the side
walk on the Nineteenth street front Of

There is a local regulation in WASH
ington requiring all owners of improved
property to keep the sidewalks abutting
on the property clean and free from
snow. The British government owns
valuable piece of ground bounded by
Nineteenth street, N street and Con-
necticut avenue. The embassy building
faces Connecticut avenue. Sir Julian
does not use Nineteenth street. There
fore Sir Julian declines to keep his side
walk on Nineteenth street clean, and

Meanwhile it must be admitted that
the battery behaved far differently from
what its designer had intended. The
motive engines proved out Of adjust
mont and the steering gear required
excessive power, so that between the
two the vessel was utterly unmanage-
able and had to be towed back to is
starting point.
Then an incident took place which
shows the confidence which the great
inventor reposed in the ability of his
aubordinntes At the request of Srlcs-
son young MaoCord brought the draw

The captain had never before examined
these drawings. so that II was with

MacCord. cor had It's officials been will

there is little doubt that the Merrimac.
instead of withdrawing from the con-
test, would have been quickly sent to

So certain was Ericsson that the
means provided were sufficient for the
purpose that he was never able to re-
gard the actual result with unalloyed
pleasure.
After the Monitor had proved her
value as fighter there vet remained
open the all important question of sea-
worthiness. Ericsson sat down and
planned another monitor. Under the
care OF an escort the latest representa-
tive of the new type of battleship was
sent to sea. Not very long after the
departure of the pair both passed
through the trial Of a storm OF unusual
violence. When the vessels returned
the monitor was towing her disabled
convoy into port. A. w. RoLKER.

was willing TO gain everything. the risk
was to be taken by the builder.
In the matter OF suitable armament
Ericsson was made to conform to his

Against the shells the armor OF the Mer-

foreseeing this possibility, had provided
wrought iron solid shot to be fired with

ment, though this was not the fault OF

Monitor. That the judgment of Erics-
