GOV. BRADLEY SPEAKS.
His First Public Utterance on the
Burning of the Negro Cole
man at MaysviIle, Ky.

Frankfort, Ky, Dec, 10.-Gov. Brad
ley Friday gave out his first public
utterance on the burning of the Ne
gro Coleman at Maysville. This came
IN reply to an interview by Judge
James p. Tarvin, of Covington, criti-
cising the state authorities. and hold
ing them responsible for the Mays
vile mob. The governor Friday af-
ternoon wired 1aryin, asking him if
he had been correctly reported, and
received the following reply:
"The penalty given Coleman may
be considered just, but the failure of
the stare authorities to protect him
after he was in custody is wrong, and
any citizen has right to criticize it.
The fact that he was a Negro, hardly
above a brute, is only the more rea-
son for protecting him. If your tele-
gram means fight, | have the choice
of weapons and choose cannon; you
to stay at Frankfort and at Coving-
ton. Please don't send the militia"
The governor, commenting on It,
SdlO' IHlS ulSpdUcn is CudFdCJeTlStlO
of the man. If the penalty given Cole
man by the people was just why
should Tarvin obiect2 AS to his prop
osi ion to remain In Covington and
fig 1t gentleman in Frankfort, per-
SONS who know him will be astonished
to learn he is willing to fight even at
that distance"
The governor closes his statement
by saying; "As governor have done
everything in my power to protect
human life and enforce the law If
had known, as Judge Tarvin knew,
that this man was about to be taken
| to his death at the hands of a mob,
l would not have kept a cowardly si-
lence as he did, but would have pro-
tected him. Ever since Tarvin was
seized with the insane thought that
he was vice presidential timber his
friends have kept constant watch on
him. This last effusion is additional
evidence that he is irresponsible"

John BULLS PACIFIC NAVAL STATION.
Esquimault, the Fortress Which Is Designed
to Protect Victoria.

The recent shipment over the Cana
iian Pacific of many heavy guns and
much war material to the new naval
station at Esquimault indicates the
intention of the British government
to erect, at the gateway of British
Columbia, Pacific Gibraltar, which
will render the British possessions in
this quarter of the world absolutely
secure against aggression by any other
nation.
The policy of Great Britain ever
since 1T became a naval power has
been to seize strategic points and forti-
~ them so strongly as to render them
invulnerahle, and thus, by their DOS
session, control immense stretches of
sea and large land territories which
could not be held in any other way
save by a great outlay. This policy
Is illustrated in the Mediterranean, for
instance, by simple statement. At
the western extremity of this great
inland ocean England holds Gibraltar,
which has long borne the reputation
OF being the strongest fortress in the
world. In the center there Is Malta,
which is scarcely inferior to Gibraltar
in the effectiveness of it's fortifica-
tions. At the eastern extremity there
is Cyprus, which has not yet been full
ly fortified, but no doubt, in pursu-
ance OF the British policy, will be dur
ing the next few years. There are no
Notifications on the Suez canal, but
the majority Of the company stock is
owned by Great Britain. Egypt has
virtually become a British province,
and there is not the slightest doubt
that should there be a prospect of
serious trouble with any foreign ma
ton involving the Egyptian and east
ern interests of Great Britain the ca
nal would be seized, and, if necessary,
fortified and defended by English
guns. At present there is no need of
such action, for, although Suez and
Port Said are not defended, England
holds at the southern extremity of
the Red Sea the great fortress Of Alden
and the island of Perrin, and could III
stantly close the Mediterranean and
Red Seas to the commerce of the

ly secure against attack, otherwise the
railroad becomes of little value. Dur
ing the last few years 1t has become
clear that there is great future be-
fore British Columbia. A couple of
decades ago the entire region was
supposed to be practically uninhabita-
BILE by whites on account of the Sc
verify of the climate, but experience
has shown that the mild winds Of the
Pacific temper the climate for a con-
siderable distance inland. and that in
a latitude where, ON the east coast,
winter has almost perpetual reign,
the crops OF more temperate regions
can be grown in British Columbia. In
fact, the climate does not differ ma
terially from that Of the states of
Oregon and Washington and the album
dance of rich lands which can with la
Dor be made available for farming
will unquestionably tempt from the
British Isles emlgrants, who other
wise might have come to the United
States.
