Judge Thomas, in an interview. FRI

that the law in respect to disobeying
an order from the United States gov
eminent is fully investigated, and that
all the guilty ones are brought to JUS
tee. The open violation of Judge
Thomas order has created much cN-
element, and it is predicted it marks
the beginning of the end of conflicting

ter of fact, all tribal laws in the terri
tory are of no effect, yet all the tribes
cling to their old Indian laws and con-
tinuc to insist on self-~oyernment.

HIS COURAGE FAILED.
He Was Brave Enough Until He
Faced Mary Ann, Then He
Wilted.

It is the proud boast of Archie Bruce that
he is lineal descendant of the great Scot
fish hero, and, as becomes a man of his
blood, he pfides himself on his courage. For
several months there has been in his family
a servant who has completely terrorized
his wife, the latter being the victim and
not the commander of her nerves. There
was terrible row between. mistress and
maid last Saturday, and on Monday morn
ing Mrs Bruce saia 10 her husband:
Archie, l cannot stand Mary Jane any
longer. Won't you please discharge her be-
fore you go to business this morning? You
know how afraid of her l am
Certainly" replied Mr.. Bruce. with suave
courage, Certainly. The crossest creature
that ever cracked a cup or cleaned kettle
cannot COW me-.
The valiant Archibald sometimes sur
prises himself and his friends by floating
along on stream of ALTERATION. Procur-
ing his hat and coat, he descended to the
basement kitchen, and in stentorian tones
bravely addressed the servant:
Mary Jane, ahem! / must hurry off now,
but, ahem!--Mrs. Bruce asked me to tell
you that she wants, ahem!-to speak to
you after | have gone to the office!"-San

to do business again on his own hook.
John was a widower himself, and being a

right away putting the farm and the house
into shape. One day happened over his

Daintiness of England

England in fine weather, like its in
habitants when in happy circumstance,
has a singular look of newness and
good breeding. Everything is swept
and garnished. like the interior of a
daintily kept house. The hop-poles
make pale green pattern on the violet
plowed ground. In the streams, the
long willow-hke weeds are combed out
and starred with Misunderstanding bios
SONS. Fish dart like ghosts in the sun
lit bright golden water. And then the
gardens of the old cottages-cottages
some of them, of the time of Elizabeth,
nay. almost of the Black Prince, with
scalioped weather-tiles of delicate
peach-bloom color, and brilliant white
washed walls, against which stand out
geraniums, and pink and white mall
lows and even an exquisite japanese
lily. What dainty prosperity! And
enthusiastically English through the
midst of it runs the past, in the shape of
an old Roman highway. You can still
see slabs of it, along the downs, among
immense nut-loaden beeches. past duck
ponds and haystacks. What a strange
mixture of a very present present with
a past which seems scarcely past at

THE VESSELS SPAIN LOST.
Efforts to Secure the Reina Merec.
des and other Spanish War
Craft Being Made by Spain.

Washington, July 13.-An offer from
a prominent firm of ship brokers, do
ing Il large foreign business, to pur-
chase the Reina Mercedes and any and
all of the war craft captured during
the late war, has aroused a suspicion
that Spain is trying in this indirect
manner to obtain possession of the
vessels and thus remove the offense to
Spanish pride caused by the floating
of the American flag over her ships.
The offer mentioned no figures, but
simply requested that the navy depart
ment name it's price for the Mercedes
and the remainder of the captured
Spanish ships. The navy department
will not sell any of these vessels, and
that answer will be returned to the
writer of the letter. Secretary Long
has decided that it would not pay to
attempt to renovate the Mercedes and
use her as warship. The cost would
be no less than half a million dollars,
and the ship would, when repaired, be
of old type and not up to the require
ments of a modern naval ship. There
fore the repairs to be made on her will
be confined to a little painting and
cleaning and patching and the Mer-
cedes will be left as a show ship, like
the old Constitution, to crafty the pa.
triotism of the American people.

HERR ROSE IN WASHING TON.
The German Consul General at A pin Talks
Freely of Samoan At
fairs.

Washington, Jilly 14.-Herr Rose,
the German consul general at Samoa
during the recent exciting events there,
arrived in Washington unexpectedly
yesterday, and reported to the Ger
man embassy. Ambassador Holle5cn
was about to start for New York to
meet Mr.. Mumm. the official who has
come on from Berlin to act as churge
'atfaires this summer, but before his
departure he accompanied Herr Rose
to the state department, and presented
him to Secretary Day and Assistant
Secretary Hill.
IhIs gave an opportunity for a
rather extensive conference on Sa-
moan affairs, in the course Of which
Herr Rose defended his course during
the trOublous days of last spring. and
explained his views of many of the in
cidents in which he and Admiral kautz
and the various other officials at ST.
moa were concerned. The period OF
Herr Roses service covered also he
contention over Chief Justice Cham
bers' decision as to the right of Nalie-
toa to occupy the throne of Samoa,
and the clash with the natives fol-
lowing the questions raised as to the
decision.
Herr Rose presented his version of
these incidents quite fully. He viii re-
main here for several days before 90
ing to Berlin. His visit to Washington
is said to have no special significance
further than to meet the officials of
the German embassy and the state de-
partment. Herr Rose brought word
that the work of the commission might
be prolonged beyond the 14th instant,
when they had hoped to sail on the
