BROUGHT SULTAN TO TERMS
RULER OF OMAN THREATENED
WITH BoMBARDMENT.
How the English Warships Cancelled
Concession to France-Sultan
Yielded at the Last Moment

Bombay, Feb. 24.-Important details
regarding the action of the British au-
thorities at Muscat, the capital of the
Sultanate of Oman, have just became
public. 1t appears that the news of the
lease by the sultan of Oman of a coal
ing station to France on the coast of
Oman leaked out while the British po-
iitical agent at Muscat. Major Eagan.
was absent. He promptly returned to
his post, but the sultan refused to fur
nish him with any information. The
commander of the gunboat Sphinx
thereupon despatched a lieutenant and
armed party to Bandar Josh But the
sultan, hoping to receive aid from the
French, continued to be recalcitrant.
The arrival of the second class cruiser
Eclipse. flagship of the East Indies sta
ton. with Rear Admiral Drummond on
board. threw the sultan's subjects into
a panic though the sultan himself still
remained obdurate. During the morn
ing of Feb. 16, Admiral Drummond sent
word ashore that unless the sultan at
tended durbar on board the Eclipse
at o'clock that afternoon he would
lombard the forts at 2:20 p. m.
Notice of the admiral's intention was
sent to the foreign consuls and the
town was speedily in confusion. The
advisers of the sultan entreated him TO
submit and the Eclipse took d position
broadside to the town, while the other
British ships cleared for action. The
sultan thereupOn posted a notification
at the custom house and on the gates
of the town that the agreement with
the French was cancelled.
At noon the sultan sent his brother
on board the Eclipse. but the British
admiral refused to receive him as
substitute.
Just before o'clock the sultan of
Oman, almost unattended, arrived on
board the flagship and remained there
for two hours. While the whole popuia-
ton lined the beach and anxiously
awaited the outcome.
The sultan, it appears, completely ac-
guessed to the British demands and
handed over to Admiral Drummond the
treaty with France. on the following
day the admiral went to the palace,
where a great durbar was held and the
sultan publicly repudiated his agree
ment with France

SWISS WATCH SMUGGLERS.
How An Organized Gang Have Been
Swindling the Government.

New York, Feb. 24-Local custom Off
Gals are authority for the statement that
the seizure last week OF some 100 Swiss
Der OF gold cases in the once OF a. w
Levy OF this city. points directly TO the
existence OF an organized gang of SNUG
Glers which they are in hopes of soon
experimenting.
The movements and cases taken from
Levy's office were appraised today and
valued at from 5000 to $4,000. but this
represents only a small portion of the
total value of the movements smuggled
into this country during the past year.
The attention of the custom officials was
first called to the matter by jewelry deal
ers. who complained that Swiss move
ments were being sold al prices that de-
fled honest competition. Investigation by
the customs officials proved that the
watches found in LeVey's office We're not
entered for duty at this port Philadelphia
or Boston. They believe the movements
were smuggled across the border from
Canada, aIIer being imported to Canada
frcm Europe. Swiss movements pay only
10 per cent duty in Canada, whereas. %
per cent ad valorem is the duty in this
country
All the watches seized bear the in
scription on the dial Springfield Watch
Company. Along the inner edge and
cleverly hidden when the movement is in
its case is the mark Made in Switzer-
land" This is contrary to the marking
law. which specifies that the naroe of the
country of origin shall appear in con-
tinuity with the domestic mark if there
be any. The movements are of an eX-
ceptiOnally high quality.

on their work, which lay in great clus-

But Dave TOrrey, Farmer Mease's

away with Jessie to a spot shady and
remote Here Jessie would give him
his paint and canvas as regularly as
she had brought him his luncheon, and
he made her stand off from him in Il
deathly-still pose, while he sought to
imprison on canvas her graceful out
line of figure, her large, clear-cut
healthy features. The big, trusting
blue eyes, like the sky above, were the
hardest task.
Jessie seemed more than fractions in
posing today. At the precise instant
when he felt the real life appearing in
his portrait Jessie gave utterance to
a poutish grunt and squatted on the
grass.

Dave cried. in very artists frenzy.
