Then the bull-necked master-at-

poraI Of the p G.. army, feinting like
a skilled boxer. and then sending in a
straight left for the pit Of the soldiers
stomach. The blow was stopped scien-
tffcaly. and the corporal led with his
long right arm and found the bull
necked sailor on the forehead. The
report of the blow was like the muffled
shot OF a gun and the sailor went down
heavily. He regained his feet instant
ly, and. with face blood-red with
rage, made again at the self-pOssessed
corporal. He was met this time with
a straight blow in the chest. and again
and a couple Of citizens stood in the
doorway watching the performance
with interest. Again the astonished
man-o-war's man picked himself up
and rushed at the strapping corporal
with both hands elevated in regular
puglIlStlc style. For the JQlfQ time
he was met squarely by the soldier,
who knew the game himself. The cor
poral tented for a few seconds, leap
ing bach at the feints of the thorough
ly enraged sailor, and then he shot
out a lightning blow for the bull
necked tar's face. The blow landed
on the sailors left eye, and ne went
down in heap, dazed, but not entire
ly out. The soldier looked down for
half minute at the PROSTATE forms
of the two sailors of the Philadel-
phia's crew. Then he walked over to
the table where the poker game had
been going on, cashed in his chips in
the Jackpot, leaving the remainder OF
the money in the bank" which was
a cigar box without a cover, and then.
casting another look at the pair of
man-o'-war's men on the floor, he
walked out the side door of the saloon.
He had been gone for fully half
minute before Sharkey, the bull-neck-
ed master-at-arms of the Philadelphia
CmOre recently heard from in connec-
ton with a questionable prize fighO,
slowly arose from the floor, looked
around wonderingly, and began minis

COST GUESSING.

Rear Admiral Walker, chairman of
the Nicaragua Canal Commission, eX-
poets a unanimous report from the
Commissioners, and says that there
are no differences of opinion among
the members except as to the matter
OF cost. This is the crucial question,
and it is not very clear how
the difference between the lowest es-
innate $3.50, O,O0O) and the highest
CSl4O,0O0, 0O0) is going to be reconcil-
ed. The disparity is so great as to
create the impression that the esti-
mates are founded to a large extent
on guesswork. Indeed, the preliminary
report of the Commission, which was
unanimous, admitted that the cost Of
the projected dam at Ochoa-an en-
gineering work without precedent
was beyond computation.

ed by a request to visit the President
when in Washington, while in the case
of Navy officers this attention has been
limited to Admirals Sampson and

This is no doubt TO be accounted foI
by the fact that the President has de-
sired information about the conduct OF
military matters during the war
whereas he needed no such inform
alton concerning the conduct of Naval
affairs. But it is also stated that al
the White House reception on Monday

there is a feeling that the Navy has

We only speak of the matter because

According to dispatch from Fort
William the whaleback barge No. lis
drifted about Lake Superior for five
days and half before her crew sue
ceeded in getting ashore. The reports
from the vessel and crew. up to the
present are chiefly remarkable for
their lack of detail. The Fort William
dispatch says that the crew after drift
ing about for five days and half final
ly landed on Pic island. Whether the
barge went ashore at the island or
whether the sailors went ashore from
the barge in a small boat is not known.
Il is supposed here that the barge is
ashore on the mainland.
The dispatch continuing says that on
the island the crew found an old shack
out of which they constructed raft
with which they made their way to
Middleton, Ont, on the mainland. 1t
is supposed that the sailors had no
small boat on the barge or they would
not have been obliged to construct a
raft. 1t seems to be established that
the sailors first landed on Pic island
and then made their way to the main
land on raft. 1t is supposed that the
were washed away in the storm Of Deo.
II, on which date the whaleback barge
parted company with the steamer. Col
gate Hoyt near Michipicoten island.
The dispatch further says that the
hardships of the. shipWrecked crew
were great. The cook, cOlOred man,
had his feet frozen and all of the crew
lost everything they had except the
clothes they had on their backs. The
boat went adrift on Dec. II so that it
was probably sometime during Dee. II
that the crew landed on Pic island.
At that rate they must have been near
ly if not quite five days between the
landing on the island and their arrival
at Middleton, where they landed on
the 22nd. Fortuna tely for the distressed
but that they could by exerting them
selves keep from freezing, and could
construct the raft that was necessary
to transport them to the mainland. If
the intense cold of the past few days
had overtaken the shipWrecked sailors
the results might have been different
unless the shack on the island was
sufficiently COMFORTABLE to house
them. 1t is presumed that the men
experienced their hardships after leav-
ing the barge.

Some of the twin city papers have
published gossip to the effect that H.
B. Moore, Of this city, may succeed
Examiner Pope as state bank exam
liner. There has been more or less talk
to the effect that Mr.. Pope would step
out of the office in the near future, and
naturally there has been some specula-

Mr.. Moore is at present the weigh

pointed early in 1899 by Governor Lind
and it is known that he stands close
