FRENCH NAVY HALTED.
During the Franco-P russian war
met Captain Brooke on the cars coming
from the North inquired what had
taken him into those parts. 1t came
out, by persistent questionings, thai
the Prussian Minister at Washington
was trying to get an expert in torpedo
planting for his harbors. He had sent
for Brooke. L heard, but not from
him, that an oifer was made Of $40, 900
a year and q position in the German
navy if he would superintend the pro-
lection Of the rivers Of Prussia. he
declined upon the ground he had en-
gagged for another term 10 teach at the
Virginia Military Institute. The super
intendent would have given him long
leave Of absence for the sake Of the
glory, but Brooke'S notion was that he
could not say a word, only keep his en-.
gagement! He was then coming back
from Buffalo, n. Y, where he had found
his two assistants during our war,
whom he presented to the Prussian
Ambassador, with the pledge that if
these two Southern fellows were given
full swing they would keep out the navy
OF France. 1t is not forgotten that the
many French warships did no harm to
any German city. People wondered.
Think of two Confederates keeping at
bay this vast armada! And Brooke

treaty by which any vessel which was
too weak to remain at sea at night
might land. The ca penters Of the
Vincennes built boat i;ting this des-
cription, and Brooke was ordered 10
sail around the chief islands and make
and maps. 1t would keep
afoat in daylight, but he landed at
dusk, always under protest by the
Japan magistrate, then the argument
and the appeal TO the treaty. As ne

swift straits and strange currents, he
was often in danger Of sinking from

Something whizzed from a window and a

Tho Good Time Coming.

The railroad situation in its
latest developments is decid.
edly interesting, and it is GER
tain that war is on between
the O. r. & n. and the North
ern Pacific companies for the
occupation and possession of
this vast Clearwater basin.
The Northern Pacific has
cross-sectioned its proposed
route to the interior as far as
the old Catholic mission on
Lapwai creek, and five car
loads of grading outfits have
been received at Spaulding
for the purpose of commence
ing immediate construction.
Not to be outdone, the O. r.
& N. people are also shipping
construction material into
Lewiston, and they have also
contracted for the speedy com.
pletion of the branch from
Wallula up Snake river to
Lewiston, and large crews are
now grading above and below
Riparia. Primarily, control
of the reservation and Camas
prairie trade is the immediate
objective point, but ultimate.
ly the roads will be pushed
over into Montana, with
branches to the various mining
camps.
There is nothing surprising
in all this. The only surpris-
ing feature is the fact that
these great transportation
! companies have so long de.
layed the construction of these
! very necessary extensions,
; which should have been built
} ten years ago. But although
SO long neglected, this great
