A Naval Plum.

The command of a receiving ship is
pre.eminently that of married man,
and he and his family always live on
board, in unique and delightful homes.
There ar but six ,receiving-ships in
the service-the Franklin, at Norfolk,
Va; the Independence and Pensacola,
at Mare Island, CAL; the Richmond,
at League Island, Penn; the Yer
mont, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
and the Wabash, at Charleston, Mass.
There is no house rent to pay; the
captain is allowed two stewards by
the Government; so tits looked upon as
one of the very few chances offered IN
the naval officers career to save money.

Carnival Date Changed.

Tampa's carnival will not occur the
first week in April, as previously an
nounced. The affair has been post
poned, and the date is 10 be announced
later. This step was determined upon
after fully considering the matter. 1t
was seen that to carry out the show on
the date named would be but to make
halfway show of it, so a good one is
wanted, and therefore the association
determined to take more time and go
at it right.
When the date was set the commit
tee had some difficulty in getting the
railroad business arranged, and this
took time. When that was completed,
several weeks of the time had elapsed.
Then the finance committee was ap-
pointed, and about the time it got
ready for work some of the best mem
bers had to go away. They wore absent
for weeks. and without them the COM
mlttee could do nothing. Other mem
bers got ill, and the whole thing was
held back. More than half the neces-
sary money has been raised, and these
pledges will be held and others solicit
ed, and thus the committees in charge
OF the work will go right ahead arrang-
ing for the show.

There seems to be a strong proba-
bility that the state board of health
will go out of business so far as the
Mullet Key station is concerned. This
is located at the mouth of the bay,
leading up to Tampa and Port Tampa.
For years the state board has occupied
this key alone, but now the marine
hospital service has its full plant and
equipment located on the same KEY,
within q stones throw of the state
station. 1t is thoroughly up todate in
every respect, while just now the states
plant is one that has seen years of
hard service. The board of health
will hold a meeting on the Goth in
slant, and the matter of turning the
work over to the marine hospital serv-
ice will then be thoroughly discussed
and probably acted upon.

Oar Good Offices are Being
Secretly Sought by Kruger.
PROPOSITION A DELICATE ONE
Negotiations are Being Carried On
Through Our Representative
at Pretoria.

A Washington special says: Theze
is reason to believe that the United
States government is using its good
offices to restore peace between Great
Britain and the South African Re-
publics.
Presidents Kruger and Steyn have
appealed 20 this government, asking
that 1t act as intermediary to the end
that peace in South Africa may be Sc
cured. That appeal was sent to the
president through the American rep
resentative at Pretoria, Adelbert Hay,
and the understanding here is that
Ambassador Choate has already laid
the appeal before the British foreign
Office. So far as is known, no reply has
yet reached Washington.
Great Britain's answer to such suc-
gestIons on our part will in oil likeli-
hood be of the same nature as Presi-
dent Mckinley's diplomatic reply to
the suggestions of the ambassadors,
headed by Lord Pauncefote, upon the
occasion of that historic visit to the
white house during the progress of the
war with Spain, when the president
reminded the ambassadors that this
country was not forgetting its duty to
humanity. The presidents reply, it
will be recalled, was exceedingly di-
plomatic, but it meant that the matter
We then had in hand would be dis
posed of in our own way and without
the assistance or the interference of
anybody else.
In all probability such will be the
reply-in effect-of the British for
eign Office to this suggestion of the
American ambassador. There will be
nothing offensive in the reply, nor is
there anything offensive in the action
of this government in acting as the
agent through which the request of
the South African government is con-
veyed to England. This is not at all
the same thing as the voluntary offer
of mediation coming from this govern
ment. Such On offer would mean in
truding upon a neighbours affairs
where we had no business to intrude,
and would be considered by England
as offensive and unfriendly.
President Mckinley has all the time
taken the position that no such step
would be taken-that there would be
no offer OF mediation unless the re-
quest came from both governments.
This action in carrying tho request of
the weaker party to the death struggle
in Africa TO the stronger is on an en-
tirely different plane, however, and
will give no Offense.
1t can be stated on authority, in
this connection, that so far as this
government is concerned there will be
no concert of powers in any represen-
tations made to Great Britain. If
other powers are discussing among
themselves whether they should Join
and tell England to quit, they must
count the United States out. This
government will take no part in any
such step any more than it would vol
step in and independently in
form England that she must quit.
A cable dispatch from the Hague
says: 1t is learned from o reliable /.
source that President Kruger, through /
the consuls at Pretoria, has appealed /
for the intervention of the great pow /
ers in the Transvaal war and has also I
appealed to the governments of Bel I

Before the matter Of a good roads
convention in Orlando was preached,
the Improvement Association took the
initial steps toward midwinter expo
sitiOn for the immediate section. Then
came the Winter Park fair, and Or
lando was rather inclined to assist
that enterprise than to compete with
it. That fair is matter of history.
Winter Park scored long mark to her
credit in the splendid exhibit made.
Now that the road convention is an as
sured success, those who had become
interested in an exhibit have decided
to make as good a local display as is
practicable at that time-not as a reg
ular fair, as no premiums will be
offered, and no admission charged.
The display will simply be a decora
tive feature of the hall wherein the
convention will be held. Many of the
residents are taking hold of the mat
