An American warship will probably
be sent to Tangier in order that
the Sultan of Morocco may be re-
minded that he owes the United
States $4,000 as indemnity for the
murder of a naturalized American
citizen. 1t may cost more to collect
the debt than the sum itself, but it
is highly important to suggest to the
Sultan that the United States keeps
watch over it's citizens abroad and
does not overlook indignities that
may be offered to them

Old Time Thanksgiving Dinners

thanksgiving dinner some So or
40 years ago would in all probable
ity have consisted of the following
dishes: Roast turkey, with rich gravy
or sauce; chicken pie, cold roast pig,
mashed potatoes and turnips, boiled
onions, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie,
mince pie, baked Indian pudding,
cider, and coffee. Sometimes oysters
would be added to the list Of dishes,
but in the interior sections of the
country these were not easy to pro-
cure, and it was the same with celery.
1t was not an unusual thing for the
boys of the family to travel 25 miles
to procure celery for the Thanks
giving dinner. Nuts, raisins and fruit
we're generally reserved for the eve
ming, the midday dinners concerning
themselves for the most part with
the more substantial turkey and
"fxin's" so termed.

Speed Capacity of AIobanla Not Put to
Fun Test.

Washington, August 23--Phe easy
manner in which the Alabama exec eded
her con tract speed by full knot, leads
the department to believe that driven at
her full capacity, she might exceed her
trial speed by a considerable fraction.
There was no speed premium paid on
the Alabama and her builders probably
felt that it was useless to force her to the
utmost limit at the risk OF q probable
mishap to the machinery. The Iowa,
which Is the only battleship which has so
far exceeded the speed OF the Alabama,
made 7.04 knots, and the speed premium
paid on her by the departments amounted
to s217, APO.

accepted the battleship Kearsarge, which
has been in commission for some months.

Ii HUNG'S CREDENTIALS.
Objection to Them Has Been Abnn :
dOned.

Washington, August 30 -The latest
phase of the diplomatic tangle involving
the powers now Interested in China is the
practical abandonment OF objection to the
form of Ii Hung Changes credentials. At
least it may be said that the objections
have been suspended for the time being.
The point of attack on the part of the
powers which are opposing the recogni-
ton of Ii Hung Chang as a plenipoten-
tiary is now the authority of the titular
Chinese government to issue any creden-
ial worthy of recognition. In other
words, admitting that Ii Hung Chang S
credentials were properly Issued by En-
peror Kwang Su, the contention is that
that monarch, being a fugitive and pow
erless cannot, by himself or through his
agent, Lii Hung Chang, enter into any
engagement or give any guarantee, which
ths Chinese people as a whole will
acceptAs binding. This subject is now
receiving the careful attention OF the
department of state.
Meanwhile the department and Minis
ter WI are in ignorance as to the where
abouts of Ii Hung Chang and from the
fact that nothing has been heard from
him for four days at least, it is con-
iectured that he may have left Shanghai
by sea and that he Will next appear in
the north of China, probably at Taku
and demand access to Pek In.
