A veteran officer relates what he
calls "a little in rident" to sh ow the

division of the crew of one Of the
battleships was overhauling the

out fixed ammunition, cans ofpow-

house, as it were, under the direc.
ton of lieutenant and a gunner's

over the hatch, singing out orders
to the men in the magazine, when
he accidentally knocked his Ian

the lamp gave way, and it fell into
the pit, with the bottom side up

OF a large tin can Of powder.
The men in the pit were busy

and did not see the accident. The

The Beer Industry in 1907

During the revenue year ending
June 80, 1897, the sales of beer and
ale amounted to 344s3,o94 bar
rels, a decrease OF I 400, ,999 barrels
from the sales in the revenue year
800. New York stands at the
head OF the States as a brewing
State. During 1897 from her
breweries o,49o,I3a barrels Of ale
and beer were sold, a decrease Of
557,2I7 barrels from the output Of
1896. Pennsylvania stood second,
with an output OF 3,9os, $50 barrels;
Illinois. with 3,a44,S96 barrels,
came third. Wisconsin, which has
the largest single brewery, stands
fourth, with a,66z. .cIo barrels; and
then come Ohio, with 2,63I, ,669;
Missouri, with s.246,477 New
Jersey, a,ooI, ,oao, and Massachu-
sets, with I,67o,556 barrels.
A study OF the figures for eleven
years shows some rather interest
ing changes in the outputs of the
various States. In 1887 seven
States sold more than 1000, 900
barrels of malt liquor each-New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Missouri and New Jer-
sey. Massachusetts, joinedthe list
in 1888, and the list remained un
changed till 1890, when the last
conner dropped out, to come back
to stay in IS9a. In 1898 the order
was changed to this: New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Ohio, Missouri, New Jersey, Mass
achusetts, and so it has remained,
except in 1896, when Ohio and
Wisconsin changed places, but
only for that year. None of the
large brewing States increased its
output last year except Massachu-
setts, which orewed 10000 barrels
more than in 1896; the others de-
creased their productions by from
T5o, 900 barrels in Pennsylvania to
$50, 900 in New York. New York
disposed OF AGO., 900 barrels Of
beer in 1887 and 4,639, 900 in 1897.
1t may be noted here that the
sales of malt liquor in Great Brit
ain and Ireland amounted to Al
47a, a,46s American barrels, an in
crease OF 56,I7z barrels over the
output of 1896, and in Germany to
sI,65S,I3o American barrels, a de-
crease of s2,58o barrels. These
two countries still surpass us in
brewing.

what dId weyIer Mean2

1t appears that minister
Dupuy de LONE is not the only
Spanish statesman who has fallen
a victim to the melancholy habit
OF indulgence in epistolary loquac-
ity. Ex-Csptain General Wey ler
has also written letter. He has
written a letter to the Queen
Regent OF Spain rebuking her ig-
norance and her incapacItY for her
position in not understanding the
Presidents message.
According to Weyler, when
President Mckinley spoke of him
as brutal commander" he in
suited not only Weyler, but the
Spanish army and the Spanish
Government and the honor OF the
Spanish name. And inasmuch as
Weyler is not able to personally
punish" President Mckinley since
the President spOke"at distance, "
he demands that the Queen OF
Spain shall exact "publIc, COM
plete and immediate apology"
It is interesting to know that the
brutal and remorseless butcher OF
peaceful Cubans ieels strong
enough to insult the Queen OF
Spain and to bully the Spanish
Government. His letter gave US
a clear insight into the real senti-
ments Of nation with whom we
are on terms OF peace and amity"
according to the diplomatIsts!
While Weyler is writing letters
il might be worth his while to
write one explaining his meaning
in saying that the loss OF the Maine
was due to the "indolence" Of her
officers and crew. This disaster
took place nearly two months af-
ter he had put down in writing his
threat Of personal vengeance or
our President. Did Weyler know
OF danger in the Havana Harbor

might have detected Did he

OF powder in his arms and sang
out: "You lubbers. haul me and
this here can to the Geek, D.
quick" Two jerks upon a rope
lifted the boy and his dangerous
burden to the deck, and in an in
slant had cast it oyer the side into
the sea.
The commanding officer did not
complain OF the loss OF that pow
der, and the boy now wears the
sword Of gunner's mate.
1T was only the other day." said
another officer, "that another gun
ner's mate, by bit OF swift head
and hand work, saved one of the
battleships oil the North Atlantic
Squadron, which is now cruising
around Key West, from an awful
peril in which it was placed by
sheer carelessness. The ship was
engaged in big gun practice al sea,
and solid shot were being fired
from the main battery. The gun
ner's mate referred to was stationed
in the coming tower with the skip
per. One OF the big guns was
loaded with a solid shot and the
skipper was about to press the
electric button held in his hand,
when the boy noticed the breech OF
the gun was not locked. He might
have let loose a yell Of warning
that would have startled the skip
per and caused a contraction Of
the muscles of the hand that would
have pressed the button and dis
charged the gun, but he had too
much sense for that. He did not
utter a sound, but with a quick
spring he seized the electric wire
and broke it with his hands, thus
cutting the circuit. Then he sank
on the floor OF the coming tower
without a bit ofblood in his face
and as weak as a kitten. The
skipper thought he had fallen in a
faint or had gone crazy, but the
boy recovered himself in a mo-
ment and explained how near the
captain had come to raking his
own deck with a solid shot. Ii
that gun had been fired very little
OF the ship would have been lett,
and 700 or 400 men or more, in
cluding the captain, would have
gone on the list Of casualties"

.SEaHaara-London. Feb. u.

The American people have to-day to
mourn the loss of two hundred and fifty
three sailors and two officers From no
quarter will they be assured OF more
profound and heartfelt sympathy than
from their British kinsmen, if only for
the reason that the disaster is one that
comes home to us more directly than,
perhaps, to other nations, whose tradi-
tiOns are less identified with the for
tunes ofthe sea. Apart from it's terrible
nature, the calamity could hardly have
occurred in more regrettable and Unfor.
tunate circumstances. II was, perhaps,
natural that, in America at least, the
first impression should be that the ex-
plOsion was not the result of accident or
of carelessness. Dynamite has played
so conspicuous part IN the operations
in Cuba, and it is so obviously in the
interest Of one party to the struggle to
emDroll the Mother Country with the
American Republic, that the hasty as.
sumption Of the existence of foul play
was not wholly without excuse. But an
examination Of the facts, so far as they
are at present known. does not appear
to warrant the deduction.

CONVICTION OF LORD WILLIAM NEvILL.
Ztmss-London, Feb. I6.

Few will be found to deny that the
sentence passed upon Lord William
Nevill is just and richly merited pun
lshment for his offence. The
public prosecutor did not think it neces.
sary to 20 beyond the offences admitted
by the prisoner, so that whatever uncer
tainty may have hung over the question
OF forgery remains to be cleared up on
some other occasion. There
is not single redeeming feature about
this squalid history, and the prisoners S
counsel was yesterday reduced to plead
ing on his behalf that he had not COM
mitted some other enormities and had
recognized the difficulty of evading the
extradition laws; just as Sir George
Lewis at Bow Street was reduced to
trying to "bluf'' Sir John Bridge into
giving bail against all ordinary rules.
The prisoner, by the way, LETT Bow
Street protesting his innocence of the
charge, the only sense in which the pro-
test can be reconciled with the truth
being that he did not care a straw
whether 1t was Mr.. Clay or Mr.. Lewis
whom he ultimately defrauded.
His father, Lord AberSavennY, is well
and honorablY known alike in society
and in political life. To have son sent
to penal servitude for conduct of the
basest kind is a crushing affiiction to fall
upon his old age apart altogether from
the heavy pecuniarY loss. Nor are the
shame and misery less for others stand
ing in the closest relations with the
offender, whose names no good service
can be served by introducing here. II
is one Of the saddest and the most inev-
table consequences Of wrongdoing that
the punishment rarely stops with the
wrongdoer himself, but is often heavier
for the innocent persons connected with
him. That. however, is not held to be
areason for condoning crime, even when
the punishment means ruin to those
whom the conviction has already dis
graced. Still less could It be allowed to
interfere with the ordinary course oI
justice when, as in the present case, the
declaration Of the offence, not the extent
OF the punishment, Is the measure oi
the collateral suffering.

successfully asserted--to freedom
and self government.
The Cubans do not seek annex
alton to the United States. There
is no reason to suppose that they
would accept it save upon compul-
sion. Nor do the people of this
country desire Cuba. Our popu-
lation is sufficiently heterogeneous
and our problems of government
sufficiently complex now.
Freedom for Cuba at our de-
mand would be a noble indemnity
for the Maine and a lasting settle
msnt OF the troubles growing out
of the irrepressible conflict in that
unhappy island. But annexation
is conquest, and conquest is not in
our line.

CONVICTION OF A NoBLRMAN.
Lord William NeVill was brought up

ing and utteiinR promissory notes. but
guilty to those OF iraudulently inducing
Mr.. Spencer Clay to affix his name to
documents for the payment of large
sums OF money. Mr.. Mathews, for the
prosecution, related the facts OF the case,

rance, in passing sentence. told the
prisoner that his crime was as great a
one as II he had distracted the money
from Mr.. ClaY's pocket. or had broken
into Mr.. Samuel Lewis's Offices and
stolen the money from his desk. He
also reminded him that he had brought
disgrace and dishonor upon an ancient
and a noble name. Having looked in

In the case, he sentenced the prisoner

Freedom Not Conquest .

Here and there in the country
there is voice raised for the cap
ture and annexation of Cuba.
1t is an unworthy sugges ion.
Forcible annexation by the United
States would mean conquest, not
freedom to the Cubans.

The judges remarks in passing gen.

They were sternly Just, and their un-
spoken text throughout was the motto
"Noblesse oblige." The miserable pris-
oner was told that he should have done,
If not better than the average man, at
least as well, since he had better
chances, and that his social position was
rather a charge 10 his detriment, in the
estimate of moral responsibilities, than
a plea in his favor. HIS opportunities

ertY struck clerk in the city who had
pilfered from his masters till. The
judge probably knew, as many others
know. that these things had to be said,
not only to the prisoner, but to others
who may one day have to succeed him
in the dock. Lord William Nevill is a
victim Of the modern thirst for gold in
the ODulent, idle, and pleasure loving
society In which he moves. There are
but too many men Of this stamp in hia
places, and no wholesome purpose can
be served by making secret of il. Lord
Williams misfortune is that the hour
for an example has come, and that he
happens to be the man. Such creatures
simply must have money, as others in a
different walk Of lite must have beer.

emmy, X c., man of birth and lineage,

Is more frequently forgotten, an ex-
ample to set to those among whom he
lives, is removed to the gaol as a COM
mon convict, at the age of thirty-seven,
condemned on the charge of swindling
friend and guilty Of peculiarly base
fraud. There was some astonishment
Yesterday In London when the news of
the sentence was disseminated; but we
VIII undertake TO say that there was a
still greater horror and disgust, a more
painful sense OF indignation and dismay
at the dishonor which has been done,
not only to those ranks from which
Lord William Nevill sprsng, but to the
ordered pollty and commonwealth in
which we all have to move.
Whatever there was to be pleaded on
behalf Of this unfortunate defendant was
ably urged BY Mr. Lawson Walton.
Lord William NeviIl was, like many OF
his class, excessively hard-up and
possibly he never intended that Mr.,
Clay should ultimately suffer for his
absurd and foolish indiscretion. The
last point is. indeed, rendered dubious
BY some evidence brought forward by
Mathews, but we are anxious that he
should have all the benefit oil the doubt
To a man occupying a certain position,
the absence OF money, it is said, is more
CALLING and Inopportune than It might
be to some one moving in a less exalted
sphere; at all events, il nobility has no
other obligations, il forces the son of
Marquis to dress well, live we'll and
have few sovereigns in his pocket.
Even when We allude to such customary
excuses for the aristocrat's sins, we are
conscious that we are giving expression
TO wretched sophisms. We have no
wish to thresh out anew a well worn
theme; but if society fails to protect
itself against its black sheep, the law
must step in to save it from inevitable
decay. There have been too many
unsavory cases Of peculation and
fraud; the air is thick with rumors of
scandal, If the punishment Of Lord
William Nevill helps to cure the wounds
which social honor has lately endured,
even his lamentable career and memoir
able ruin will not have been wholly in
vain.

RE IGNATIoN OF THE SPANISH MINIS
TER AT WASHINGTON.

Senor Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish
Minister in Washington, on Tue sdsIy
rendered his resignation to his Govern

in which he made severe remarks con-
cerning President Mckinley; and his
resignation has been accepted.

A WORD 90 RusLness Men.

in Cuba has been that humane
and manly policy would injure
business. Whenever there has
been a suggestion that the sodden
apathy of our Government might
be disturbed, and that something
might finally be done to stop the
starvation of women and children
or to wipe a stain from our flag,
delegations have flocked from
Wall Street to beg the President
to do nothing that might interfere
with prosperity.
1t is time for the business man to
do little independent thinking,
and to consider whether policy
Of imbscility, inhumanitY and dis
honor is really good one even
from a financial point Of view.
There is a general agreemen
that of all the evils that can afflict
business uncertainty is the worst.
That was what prolonged the hard
times while the Wilson tariff was
under consideration, and again
during the preparation and discus
sion of the DingleY bill. People
said that trade and industry could
live under any kind Of tariff, but
not when nobody knew what
scheme Of taxation day would
bring forth.
The Cuban war has lasted now
Tor three years. In all that time
the business OF the United States
has been on the rack. The direct
losses have been enormous. A
trade Of 500 900, ,oco a year has
been ruined and American prop
erty worth scores Of millions has
been destroyed. But that has been
only one item, and the smallest.
The nerves Of our people have been
kept on a continual tension. AT
every new Spanish outrage the de-
mand for Intervention has become
more insistent. Hardly a month
has passed without its incipient war
panic. The bears have found
Cuban rumors their most effective
weapons in every raid on the stock
market.
Would il not be a good thing TO
end this suspense once for all1 The
cost of humbling Spain, breaking
her hold on Cuba, and ending all
war rumors from that quarter,
would be less than the cost to busi-
ness OF six months OF the present
bristling peace. And that stroke,
sharp and decisive, would save US
from any further wars or war scares
within the next thirty years. The
European generation that saw our
display of fighting strength be-
tween 1867 and l sos let us severely
alone. A new generation is grow
| ing up abroad that knows not Sher-
man or Grant or Sheridan or Lee.
1t is talking superciliously about
American military capacity, and
intimating that war with Spain
might be fearful surprise for US,
on account OF the superiority Of
Spanish personnel and discipline.
II we call Spain TO order with neat
ness and dispatch, these voices of
detraction will be stilled, America
will take her proper rank among
the powers OF the world, and the
governments of Europe, with such
an object lesson to guide them, will
carefully refrain from undue inter
ference with our affairs. Peace,
placid and profound-such peace
as has long been a stranger to US
will settle down upon us. Then
the business man can be an Amer
ican citizen and the American cit
izen business man without an
uncomfortable sense of strain on
either side.
