TRESPASSING,
HUNTING AND FISHING
ON THESE LANDS
STRICTLY PROHIBITED BY
LAW.

. . . . .
Johnson has some of the best fishing
them with difficulty. A few weeks ago
he saw Mr.. Cleveland on his grounds he
"stalked" him. creeping along hedge
until he came to the spot where the large,
lone fisherman had just landed a big
trout.
Hal he shouted, as he burst through
a thicket and rushed up, waving a stick,
I've caught you at last, have ~
But, my dear sir Mr.. Cleveland
began.
Don't you dear sir me-" shouted
Johnson, who was white with anger.
You just get off my property, and don't
you lose any time about it either, or III
have you arrested"
Mr.. Cleveland had only one thing to
do and he did it. He made his way to Il
fence and climbed over it, but for mo
ment he sat on the top rail, and 1t col
lapsed under his weight 1t was John
sons fence, and the mishap to it made
the farmer madden than ever.
You get away from here" he rOareG.
First you steal my trout and then YOU
destroy my fences" But the former
president had vanished.
Neighbors went to Mr.. Johnson and
told him who the trespasser was. In
stead of being sorry, he said:
Grover Cleveland, Ell? That's the
postmaster when the whole place en-
dorsed me. 1t beats all how vlndctive
some men are, and l never did a thing
to him.
Mr.. Cleveland started at once for Gray
Gables.

HELD UP GROVER.
Farmer Stops Former President
from Fishing In a Pro-
hibit ed Stream.

New York, June 3.-Grover Cleveland,
former president Of the United States,
was stopped while poaching trout on the
land of Frank Johnson, farmer of
birmingham, near Winsted, Conn, yester-
day, and ordered from the place. His
friends say that he strayed there mad
vertently, not knowing the boundaries.
Mr.. Cleveland is himself jealous
guardian of game rights. On his lands
at Buzzard's bay almost every second
tree has a notice board upon it warning
the public away and threatening tres
passers with fines and penalties.
The distinguished statesman went to
birmingham as the guest of Richard Wat
son Glider, who has a residence there.
The place is in the Berkshire hills, just
over the Massachusetts state line.
Dressed in old clothes and big straw
hat, and looking much like Il country
man, he was whipping streams on John

WHAT GERMANY PAYS.
Gives 25.OOO,OOO Pesetas for the
Carolines-Gerrna Under
takes Defense.

Madrid, June 3.-Germany, it is an
nounced, pays 25,OO0,0OO pesetas for the
Caroline, Palaos and Marianne islands,
Spain retains three coaling stations, one
in each group, and Germany undertakes
to defend these stations in case of war.
Germany, in addition, grants Spain the
most favored nation treatment III Ger
many and in the colonial islands.
Washington, d. c., June 3.-The opin-
ion here is that Spain has made a very
good bargain in the price she obtains for
the Pacific islands. The cash compensa-
ton is about equal to the sum of 5000
600 in United States money, which, it is
believed, alone would be full compensa-
ton.
But in addition, the guarantees af-
forded by Germany are regarded as ex-
traordinary. The permission to Spain to
retain three cOaling stations, and above
all, the undertaking to protect these IN
time Of war are certainly of great value.
In fact it is said the undertaking to pro-
tect the coaling stations for Spain, may
be regarded as in q sense committing
Germany to an alliance with Spain, for
it is conceivable that to execute the
guarantee, Germany may be placed IN a
position where she must go to war for
SPANS sake. The concession that
Spain may enjoy favored treatment in
trade with Germany and her colonies is
said to be Of value SO far as the mother
country is concerned but of little i'm
pOrtance in respect to the colonies Of
Germany.
Spain has never been able to make any
Roadway in trade with colonies on even
terms with Germany and even where she
held sovereignty, as in the case of the
Carolines German trade interests took
the lead. 1t is said at the state depart
ment that our government is not in a
way to be advised officially Of this trans
action until, perhaps, Ambassador White
at Berlin reports 1t to the department as
an item of information. The reason for
this is that the transfer nominally con-
Germs nobody save the two parties to it ;
there being no dispute as to the title Of
Spain and her right to make transfer
and no questions as to spheres of infiu-
ence, or any of the latter day niceties Of
diplomatic meddling to warrant the inter-
ference of third parties. 1t is said that the
United States might have acquired the
islands some time ago on practically the
same terms. Certainly as to the Caro-
lines, we might have had possession of
Ualan, the pearl of the group, and per-
hapS all of the island in exchange for
100000 cash and exceptional trade
rights for Spanish trade in Cuba and
Porto Rivo. During the peace confer
ence at Paris the American commission
offered the million for Ualan, and the
trade was under way when it was broken
off through the additional demand by
Spain for favored treatment in treating
with Cuba and Porto Rico. These terms
correspond in a measure with those de-
mandel of Germany and having declined
them ourselves, it is not believed that
we have any right to object to the ces-
sion to another nation.

ONLY ONE DEWEY.
Will be Given Washington Res
idence in Recognition of
His Services.

New York, June ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
suggestion of Admiral Upshur that the
home which it is proposed to purchase for
Admiral Dewey should be his only while
he remains at the head of the navy and
at his death should fall to the ranking
officer of the navy does not meet with
favor at the hands of the committee in
charge of the collection of the funds.
The members Of the committee point
out several objections to it, which from
their point of view seem vital. rms
home, they say, is a tribute to the gal
liant and brave services of Admiral Dew
ey, personally, and could not descend 10
another admiral for the reason that the
rank will die with the man VINO won that
title at the battle of Manila.
The rank ceased to exist with the
death of Admiral Porter. and was only
revived on the occasion OF great event:
1t is probable that with the death of
Dewey there will be no admiral until
another war produced another naval
hero. To make this house the homo Of
the mixing officer means simply tn 1t
shall all to the officer who becomes
the ordinary promotions incident to the
service. The proposition is not likely 70
be accepted by the committee.
Mr.. Heath. the first assistant post
master general member of the national
committee in charge of the collection of
funds, has received assurances from 4
relative of the admiral that he will &C.
cept this gift from the American people.
The committee has communicated with
banks and postmasters throughout the
country authorizing them to receive con-
tributions and it expects within short
time to hear favorable reports. 1t is au-
thoritatiyely announced that the COM
mite, intends to leave the selection of
the house, site, etc, to the admiral. The
statement that the house is to be pur-
chased and fitted up before the return of
Admiral Dewey is repudiated by the
committee. This home is to be located
where Dewey wishes it and will be fur
nished in accordance with his taste.
Pending the arrival in Washington of
the distinguished occupant of the home
nothing more will be done than to pro-
coed with the collection of funds.
