#MYSTERlou LIGHT AT SEA.

Three Steamers Didn't Understand
It. but the Prince of Monaco Knew.
The Prince of Monaco has been known
since 1885 as an enthusiastic student
of the sea and its various forms of life.
He usually spends his summers in the
study Of oceanographic problems, and
his cruises have on some occasions been
extended almost to the coasts of Amer
lea. He delivered a lecture before the
Royal Geographical society in London
in which he told this incident:
One afternoon, while in the bay of
Biscay, he sank the trap in which he
collected specimens Of sea life 1t went
to the bottom in over $4,000 feet of
water. and as night approached he fas-
tened to the wire attached to it an cleo
trio buoy and then stood off mile or
30. It did not happen to occur to him
that he was right in the track of steam
srs plying between northern Europe
and the Mediterranean. but he was re-
minded of the fact later
AS he and his IA sailors were watch
ing with good deal of satisfaction the
swaying buoy with its brilliant illu-
mination steamers S lights came into
view. It was socn evident that the
steamer was curious to know the mean
ing of the illumination. for she altered
her course and made for the light She
knew that no fishing boats came out so
far from land and 80 determined to
solve the mystery. Up she came to
within a quarter of mile of the buoy
slowed up for minute, and then start
ed ahead, perhaps a. little disgusted at
the incident that had lured her several
miles out Of her course.
She had hardly got away when Sec
ond steamer came into view, and she,
too, bore down upon the lighted buoy
The marines on the princes vessel un-
derstood by this time that the illumina-
tion was probably believed to be evil
dence of disaster. Just as the prince g
steamer was moving up to explain mat
ters she was nearly run down by one of
the large liners in the oriental trade,
which had also left her course to render
what assistance she could
The swell was very heavy, and the
prince feared collision as the three
vessels approached the light like moths
around candle. He therefore veered
off and the other vessels. after standing
by for a few minutes, went on their
way and probably never learned the
cause Of that nights illumination at
sea.
But the incident gave the prince q
pointer. He carefully refrained there.

The Audience Got Angry.

There was scene of wild excitement
during the last week of May, 1892, at
the Gaiety, London, and all owing to
the singular behavior Of policeman.
Two popular entertainers were on the
stage, and one of them asked the audi
ence little conundrum,. "Why is a po-
liceman an utter sooundrel?'
A gentleman in blue who was appar-
emily on duty in the body of the thea
ter at once took offense. He jumped on
to the stage and, seizing the offender,
attempted to drag him off.
The audience rose in indignation.
Men shook their fists and shouted,
"What has be done?" One frenzied
young lady in the front of the gallery
seized tumbler and would have thrown
it at the policeman if her arm had not
been arrested.
The policeman then dragged his cap
tive off the stage amid the hisses and
shouts Of the audience But anger was
speedily changed to laughter when Mr..
Policeman reappeared with his victim
and stood revealed as one of the Cosmo
trio. 1 never saw an audience so oom-
pletely taken in.-London Correspond

Two Points Presented by Ambassador
Choate to Salisbury.
LONDON, June GA representative
here Of, the Associated Press has been
informed that the United States am
bassador, Joseph II. Chonte, at the con-
ference which he had with the Marquis
of Salisbury at the foreign Office, sub
mitted dispatches from the officials at
Washington who have considered the
points raised by the Canadians in the
boundary dispute. These are treated
generally, but two points were espe-
cially treated, the first defining the line
of arbitration to which it is proposed to
submit the Alaskan question, and sec
ond the American view Of the Lynn
canal strip claim. A prominent foreign
Office official said Canada's proposition
on the first point may be accepted by
both parties that the so years valid title
clause may be made the base of nego-
tiations, in which case they will prac-
tically proceed on the Venezuela lines.

Sale of Islands to Germany Fine Stroke
of Business.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-The opinion
here is that Spain has made very good
bargain in the price paid for Spain's
Pacific islands. The cash compensation
is about equal to the sum of $5,000,O00
in United States money, which it is be-
lieved would alone be full compensa-
ton. But in addition, the guarantees
afforded by Germany are regarded as ex-
traordinary. Permission to Spain to re-
tain 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 a 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
Spain's sake.

APIA, Samoa. May 10, via San Fran
cisco, June 6.When Admiral Kautz
issued his proclamation Of April 90, di-
recting Mataafa and his following to
keep beyond certain defined limits
around Apia, the prescribed districts
covering an area 10 miles long and s
miles broad, followed by notification
to Mataafa that unless the rebels were
outside the prescribed limits in "a hours
fire would be opened upon them where
ever they could be reached, this ulti-
matum brought about an immediate
and unconditional compliance with the
admiral's directions.
From that time up to date there has
been no conflict with the rebels. Cap
tain Sturdee, Of H. M. S. Porpoise, ac-
companied by Rev. William Huckett,
OF the London Mission society, as inter
prefer, paid the rebel camp at Falenla
visit the day following and in order to
avoid mistakes in the future, went over
the boundary line with several Mataafan
chiefs who promised to keep the peace
until the commission had time to act.
The district which the rebels have
evacuated is quite large enough to sup
ply food to the Malietoans in Apai, and
thus one Of the great difficulties of the
naval authorities has been overcome.

A prominent English landlord was
one day riding across a common ad-

they rode on in silence for some min

his horse, a balky animal whereupon
it dropped to its knees.
'What's the matter with your
horse?'' asked his lordship. The en-
barrassed tenant remarked by way of
explanation that his steed always acted
that way when there was game to be
found
A moment later, to the tenants sat-

jumped out of some bushes near by.
This so impressed the landlord that
he at once drove bargain by which he
