WASHINGTON, D. c., May N.-An
American lake captain, intrenched on his

United States and Great Britain III such
a way as to cause serious embarrassment
to both. The ship is anchored in Cana

Early last fall the Atlantic Transporta-

several small schoorers from people In
Cleveland, o, it was said that the COM

The schooners were ordered from Cleve
land to the Atlantic, but started late, and
when they reached Valley field the river
was frozen over and all the vessels were
tied up for the winter Meanwhile a re-
ceiver was appointed for the Atlantic
Transportation company and the schoon-

t1le river was free of ice.
When the river was opened to naviga-
ton this spring all the schooner captains
except one obeyed the order. The ex-
ception was Capt. Marks, of the Helve-
tia. He said he would hold his craft
until he was paid for his services, and the
crew decided to stay with him. Persua-

A FEATHERED SIR GALAHAD.
Gen. Hampton's figure is erect, his eye
bright, his skin clear and ruddy and
bronzed by active outdoor life. His mem
DRY is unclouded and his interest keen
in the topics of the day.
Gen. Hampton has turned his attention
to the raising Of game chickens as a di-
version in the life he leads. He allows
no one to feed the chickens but HIM
self. They perch on his shoulder, sit on
his knee and take corn from his hand.
Several answer To the classic names of
Sir Launcelot. Queen Guineyere. Sir
Galahad, Elaine, Red Gauntlet and Black
Prince.
Sir Launcelot is easily 'eock of the
walk" and is so jealous of King Arthurs s
attention that even GuineVere is driven
off from. the interesting tournament.
Eut this family of knights and ladies
will never grace the ''round table," or any
other table, for Gen. Hampton will never
permit one of his pets to be eaten.
Gen. Hampton's daughter, Miss Daisy,
is with him. She is a young, beautiful
woman. Miss Hampton is regent of the
