out sites in other portions of the world. Now we are preparing to establish impor- tant coal stations and naval depots at San Juan, Havana, Guam and Cavite. In Alaska the government also maintains small coal station. This gives us the lead after Great Britain in sites for coaling stations granted by friendly powers or secured of right on our own possessions as result of the Span ish war.
 France has coal piles in the West Indies on her islands there, at Madagaska, at q point in Cochin China, and on the Marshall Islands, in the Pacific, but not one is im- portant or maintains large coal supply. Germany has stations in Africa and one in the Pacific, and those are about all, white Russia has none outside of Chinese waters. Twelve months ago we were on the eve of negotiating for the purchase of an island in the West Indies for the purpose of using it as a coaling station.

AMUSING STORY
Of How President Arthur Was Locked
 Out of the White House

From the Chicago Record.
 An amusing story is being told of Presi- dent Arthur regarding the occurrence which happened during the last year of his occI- pancy of the White House. He was one of the most princely chief executives who have filled that high office. He entertained lavishly and dined out quite frequently President Arthur kept late hours, and the ushcrs who were on duty at the White House at times went to sleep depending on the noise of the carriage wheels and the horses hoofs to wake them before the pres {. ident could reach the door. One night a dinner was given in General Arthur's honor by the governor of the Soldiers Home and it was 2:30 in the morning before he return ed The four ushers and policemen went to sleep, three of them In an ante-room just east of the private dining room, and the fourth went to the basement to indulge in short nap. 10
 While the guardens of the peace were asleep snow began falling, and the presi- dents carriage sped noiselessly to the man. sion, and, of course, the ushers slept on No footman was on the box, and on finding the doors locked the president rang the Dell, but failed to receive any response. After trying for several minutes to arouse some one he raised one of the windows and climbed in. Finding the ma asleep the president took the carriage robes and spread them over the men and retired Be- fore daylight the slumberers awoke and were startled to learn the president had found they were asleep.
 'tThe jig is up boys" remarked one. of them, as they anticipated dismissal when the president reached his desk. Finally they mustered up courage enough to apologize to which General Arthur replied:
 ''Things are coming to pretty pass when the president of the United States is com- pelled to climb in the window of his own house Return to your duties and do not let it happen again." The fourth man, who wanted to square himself, entered the presidents office with great trepdation and humbly apologized 'So you were asleep, too. were you? I did not know it. but as long as you are manly enough to confess I will overlook it this time"

Although It is not yet quite certain that the president of Mexico and his charming wife will visit the United States this sum- mer, their friends in Washington are eon- fident that they will have an opportunity to welcome them before many months have passed. They know that such trip has been contemplated for some time and that Mrs. Diaz has long been urging her husband to visit this country. so they feel sure that she will have her way.
 The last visit of President and Mrs. Diaz to the United States was in 1883, the ocea- sion being their wedding journey. The fair young bride is well remembered as a most beautiful woman, and President Dlaz as

Mrs. Higsey-Clara, I must insist that you send young MT. Granley away earlier. It was long after II o'clock last night when you closed the front door after him.
 Clara-I know it, mamma, and I have made up my mind dozen different times to make him leave early, but he has a way, somehow, of always giving the impression long after the shank of the evening has passed that he is just about to say g0me- thing one has been waiting for. It's awful ly exasperatng.
