! on the banks Of Newfoundland,
Monday. morning, June 4th: We are
now passing. the last point Of land,
Cape Race-4 p. m. All day the 3rd
We sailed smoothly OF, past rocky
hillslon the north, the. open sea to the
SOUTH passing several ships and
steamers. Many OF the passengers
have been amusing the fish by teed-
ing them sQnvoluntarily). It has not
been our fortune to join the majority
as yet. The weather is very cold and
all the woolen nderclothes, overcoats
and mittens are. insufficient to keep
one warm without good rapid exer-
else Of walking the deck. Yesterday
p. m. We had the pleasure of discover
ing the first whale, and Immediately
the old song of there she blows''
came to my lips. The passengers
rushed over to the side. A great
sperm whale spouted water and steam
twenty feet in the air, and soon an-.
other great one: was seen close to ship:
1t Was great sight. -2sz. ~ -szr4s2ss
Yesterday being Sunday, we held
in the first ca bin dining room
at 1890 .. M: and at s p. m. 10 the

strange. 1t seemed church on. the
broad ocean, . good attendance, and
q good collection for the Sailors

June 4th we sailed through several
schools Of whales, much to the amuse-.
ment Of passengers, watching them
spout and tumble ID the waves.
Weather fine and no gales. ~s..< n~, r.,.

Thursday. June til The sea il
quite rough and many sre mex. Our
western party is standing It better
than the average and enjoying the
trip hugely. Mrs. Davis is the first
Of the ladies TO sppear on deck and is
doing duty we'll. We young 'kids'''
are no great source Of anxiety to her,
30 her time is principally taken up in
walking, gazing and chatting with
the older passengers, Ben is trying
to keep his berth from jumping
around the cabin, much OF the time,
and finds the easiest way to lay down
On 1t. Josie is either playing the
guitar, piano or taking snapshots Of
some Of the great waves, hanging on
the rail getting aim, while the boat
and waves are on rampage. We
saw two more whales to-day and pass
ed steamer bound west. She had on
, light cargo and with every pitch of
The boat her propeller went out Of the
water. Your correspondent was at
the time having sharp tariff talk
with q few Englishmen-and not get
ling the worst Of the argument either
when an idea struck me; I simply
asked my opponent: why is it that
all the steamers going west are light?"
'Oh!my, don't 'yer-know', they be 60

'Gentlemen, I now leave you self-con-
victed, just where I want you. You
are coming to the States empty to
load up with our products. You are
buying more from US than you sell US.
You are paying US for our produce.
The balance Of trade is in our favor.
That is why you are free traders.
You are consumers; We are pro.
ducers. With the grand old party in
power and with Mckinley at the head
of government, our thinking people |
are happy, prosperous, contented.
You know there is bit Of selAshness
IL all human beings. We Americans
are laboring for the welfare of Amer
Ca, you Britons for England, and at
the present time Americans seem to
have the advantage, and intend to
hold on to good thing while We can"
