LOVES The SEA
Son Of a Millionaire Here Be-
fore the Mast.
SEEKS AN OCEAN CAREER
Educated for the Calling Young
and Ambitious-First Voy-
age a Delig ht,

One of the crew Of the Fort George
now in port, is the son of a California
multi millionaire. His name is Huff
man When he was a child he fell in
love with the sea. His father, who is a
practical man, thought it would be
wiser 10 let the lad follow his natural
inclination rather than have him live
in elegant leisure or follow a profess
sion. He gave the boy a thorough ed
ucation in all the branches necessary
TO the mariner. No expense was spared
After a time the 1ad-he was but IS
years old then-possessed the neces-
sary qualifications for a masters GER
tificate. So much for the theoretical
side Of it.
Young Huffman then shipped before
the mast as a plain, ordinary sailor
He had been taught about loading car
goes, now he had the actual thing.
The courses of the winds and tides had
been explained to him in a comfort
able schoolroom. Now he helped take
in sail in the midst Of a driving gale.
He had viewed the sailors life from
the distance, which always lends en-
chantment He now faced the bare
reality, stripped of all illusion.
Still he kept on. What to a landlub-
Der appears drudgery, was to him a
pleasure. He was simply born son
of the sea. That was all there was
to it.
He has made several voyages now.
His first love is as constant as ever.
No one who sees him down at Brewers
wharf pitching sugar and handling
tackle would think that he was the
Huffman whose father rolls in gold
and whose brother is prominent in San
Francisco society and a leader in
Berkeley fraternity circles.
Like it? Certainly" he said as he
wiped the perspiration from his brow.
81 don't look forward to loading sugar
forever, though. I am going back as
second mate of the Fort George" and
there was a ring Of pride in his voice.
81 should prefer spending night

running before a gale. rather than
leading a german i may sound
strange. but Il is a trick Of nature, you
know
AS soon as I get OF age my father
intends TO put enough money into q
ship so that I can be captain. Then
some day expect 10 be the commander
Of an ocean liner. That is my ambi-
ton Goodbye" he said, as he gave
pull To a hawser with as lusty a
.,heave no" as any OF his comrades.

Capt Coghlan Must Explain 10 the
Navy Department

Navy Department.
NEW YORK, April "a Sun
special from Washington says: The
keenest regret is felt in official circles
over the reported remarks of Capt.
Coghlan, Of the Raleigh, at the Union
League Club dinner on Friday night
about German interference at Manila.
The breach threatened between Ger
many and the United States over the
Philippines and Samoan affairs had
been passed over, and there was every
reason to hope that feeling of greater
cordially between the two countries
that resulted in the appointment of the
Samoan Commission had grown bet
ter understanding, and there was rea-
son 10 believe that Germany would not
the United States.
Capt. Coghlan has been asked by the
Secretary of the Navy whether he was
correctly quoted in the press accounts
Of his speech at the Union League din
ner, and on his answer will depend
whatever action the Navy Department
will take. This is the usual course, and
the department felt that it could not
be avoided in Capt. Coghlan's case,
much as his services at Manila are val
ued.
The Administration was very much
chagrined by statements published in
today's newspapers that Capt. Coghlan
sang "HOch Der Kaiser" at Friday
nights dinner. The words of this pro-
ductiOn are regarded as even more Of
fensive than the story told by Capt
Coghlan of German interference in
Manila, which, whatever the offense
against naval regulations in its mar
ration by an officer, at least had the
merit of truth.

Governor Smith has granted three
thirty day diminutions of sentence to
convicts confined in the state penitent-
iary, one of whom is Hugo J. Raymond.
who was convicted of ~manslaughter in
Yellowstone county on February 26,
1892. Raymond had some difficulty
with a man named William Bussey, Of
whom he professed to be afraid. Bussey
came to Raymond road ranch about
twenty miles from Billings on New
Years day, after having been ordered
to stay away, and Raymond took a long
range shot 1t him without effect.
Bussey then hid in an oat-box in the
barn, when Raymond, Notwithstanding
Bussey was unarmed, shot 0him full Of
holes as he lay in the box.
Bussey's character was not good and
he had the reputation of being a cattle
%rustler, and the jury returned a verdict
for m%anslaughter only, though by most
people the crime was regarded as an
atrooious murder. The prisoner has
served out most Of his seven years
sentence and the thirty days off will
have the effect Of restoring him to citi.
zenship.

Burns life was mt altogether happy.
He was a wild spirief anu his adventures
among the lassies SCOT him into a Sc
rious scrape. In terton he thought to
fly the country. But tie had no money,
and in his eagerness to get away bust
ness idea struck him.: He published
called him to Edinburgh instead of ia
maica. He was recognized, feasted, fiat
tered at the capital de sold books,
too, for one of his binsraphers says he
cleared G700 on his subscription pub
locations at this time. That was equiv
alent to at least $4,000 of our money,
and was goodiy sum for poet to have.
From Edinburgh he made pilgrimage
through southern Scotland, crossed the
Tweed and in two months saunterings
saw all that was dear to his poet heart
in the scenery of his beloved Scotland.
A little later he made similar pilgrim
age to the north. and these two jourl
neys. with the visit to Edinburgh, must
be taken as the period of his greatest
happiness. On his return to farming he
met with financial failure. He went into
the excise service and there ended his
career in moral defeat. 1t is a story to
draw the sympathetic tear. and yet, if
we wish to love Burns poetry we must
understand his own story. If we can
not interpret that. we may as we'll give
up his verses. He knew better than we
