TROOPS ON The
SHERIDAN WERE
NEAR TO MUTINY \
Made to Do the Work
Of Solutions.

There is a nice little tempest in a tea
pot aboard the United States transport
Sheridan. Three officers Of the South
Dakota Regiment are under arrest for
conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman" while the rank and file Of
both the South Dakotas and Minnesotas
are almost in a state Of mutiny because
they were forced to scrub decks and do
the work Of scullions during the voyage.
They made Intellectual kicks against doing
the work but Colonel Frost put 10 men
on guard duty and compelled the soldiers
to clean up the ship. Almost from the
time the transport left Manila this guard
was on duty and when the vessel reached
port the men were almost ripe for an
outbreak.
The men under arrest are: Lieutenant
Colonel Lee Slower. Surgeon Major Warne
and Lieutenant Horace G. Bates. 1t ap-
pears that they wrote home from Manila
critfcizing the conduct Of their superiors.
Major Warne stigmatized Colonel Frost
as "a coward and a cur" in a letter to
Senator Pettigrew, while the structures OF
Slower and Bates were not quite so severe.
The recipients Of these letters showed
them to their friends and the contents
finally got into the newspapers, These
papers reached Nagasakt before the Sher-
idan and when Colonel Frost saw the
items he ordered the writer's under arrest
and the adjutant to make out the charges.

4 MOTHER son of California has

n ladder at the top of which is the
admiral Of the fleets of the United
States. Joseph A. Davis of the San
Francisco Art Association has just
received a telegram from Annapolis
containing the information that his
eldest son, Milton S. Davis, has sue
cessfully passed the examination of
the Naval Academy and entered as
cadet.
Milton S. Davis is 10 years of age
and is a graduate of Lowell High
School in this city and of the Normal
School. He received last April the ap-
pointment which enabled him to take
the Annapolis examination. 1t came
and as there were SO many applicants
for the place it was thrown open to
competitive examination. OF the
thirty five young men who entered the
competition Davis had the highest
average and received the appointment.
The new cadet from California can
point 10 a long line of ancestors
who have fought in the army
and navy of this country. Long
before the signing of the Decla-

Of his family were settled in Maryland

The desire to make the Filipino leader ac-
quainted with the manners and methods of
carrying forward a Chicago enterprise and
the wish to establish friendly relations be

of the remarkable project. The races re-

the Filipino race, and ii isn't hard guessing
which one will be inside and which out, after

A PROSPEROUS COLONY.
The Condition Of Canada Pleasing to
the Mother Country.
London Daily Mail.

The prosperity Of Canada will give gen.
eral satisfaction in the mother country. The
Dominion has ever been most forward In
advancing the interests of the empire: her
LOYALTY is ~ndisputab BILE and unselfish. and At
times we wish that il received more prac-
teal encouragement on this side of the At
lantic. The inadequate support given by
Lord Salisbury's government to the all
British Pacific cable is a damper which for
every reason ought to have been avoided.
There is surely something greatly lacking
in British mercantile enterprise when II
fails to take advantage of a preferential
rate OF % per cent. AT the same time ii is
gratifying to find that Britain is favoring
Canadian goods in preference to others. Mr..
Fielding, Canada's finance minister, quoted
figures to show that the increase in her ex-
ports to Great Britain was. much more than
that represented by the ordinary improve
ment in trade.
Questions of trade between Canada and
the United States haye still to be settled.
1t is natural that adjacent districts, di-
vided only by an arbitrary frontier line.
should desire free commercial intercourse.
1t will be a grievous pity If a mutually sat-
isfactory modus vivendi is not arranged.
The United States canno reasonably ex-
pect Canada to give way on all points. The
labors of the joint high commission are be-
ing carefully watched here. and great dis
appointment will he felt II they prove fruit
less. Canada has expressed her determine
ton not TO allow anything to interfere with
her development, and in this respect she
may count on the active uppor Of Eng
land
