Albion W. Tourgee, United States
consul at Bordeaux, France, writing to
the authorities at Washington. says:
During the last two months an ef-
fort has been in progress to induce an
American shitbuilder of reputation to
establish a branch shipyard here.
There seemed to be no reason why a
profitable arrangement should not be
made. French capitalists are eager to
invest In steel ships. The bounty
given by the government Is In itself
very attractive. The prices offered by
parties desiring to own ships were
much in advance Of what Is paid in
other countries" Mr.. Tourgee thinks
that the immediate future will make no
more pressing demand on France than
the one for ships, and that here is an
excellent opportunity for American en-
terprise and capital. The principal
difficulty appears to be in obtaining
steel In sufficient quantities and at
satisfactory prices. American built
ships are winning fame in the world.
We would Of course prefer to build the
ships here and sell them abroad, but
If France prefers to have them launch
ed from her own soil we can readily
send over the material and the men to
build them. '-+

not always occupy himself in a way
pleasing to his royal acquaintances,
and when William IL makes up his

novelist Chambers, tells exactly the
leading trait Of this most active Of

+ A good story IS going the rounds

he has a happy little within of funex-
pectedly swooping down upon such Of
his garrisons as are in his vicinity. The
officers never know at what hour he
will put In an appearance and conse-
quently are kept on the qui vive from
morning until night. Not long ago
the kaiser arose at an early hour and
decided to watch the morning parade
at the Potsdam barracks Drill hour
was 6 a.. m. The kaiser and a count
arrived promptly on time. found the
soldiers ready, but no officer to drill
them. 1t was fully half an hour later
before the officer arrived. His state OF
mind can easily be imagined. But he
braced up and put his men through
their drill. The kaiser made no re-
marks on his lack of punctuality and
galloped away when drill was over.
ALL day the unfortunate officer wait,
ed in his quarters. expecting nothing
less than dismissal from the army
Not until evening did he hear from
William the Sudden. Then a small
package was handed to him. Opening
it, he found that it contained a hand.
some nickel alarm clock. ,... -.
Thus the kaiser retained the services
Of a valuable soldier and at the same
time signified his displeasure. The story
does not say SO, but the probability Is
that William the Sudden has no more
devoted officer in the army today than
the man who was late at drill hour.

news has reached Washington from the

within sight. The agreement will be
on the basis Of the proposition laid
down by Secretary Hay in his note of
July : and the subsequent notes treat.
ing Of that subject. The accord of
Russia with the United States is more
complete than was anticipated at first
and the reports show that all Of the
European nations probably are placing
themselves in position to take advan.
tage Of the opening made by the United
States and soon will be ready to begin
negotiate rs for settlement with the
Chinese governments. The Russians
already have given notice Of such q
purpose, and while the text Of the

like Russia, is ready to negotiate at

If the delegates from this county to
the Republican state convention at
Ellensburg, to be chosen today, should
present candidate for delegate to the
national convention at Philadelphia in
the person of Hon. John S. McMillin,
he should be elected for two reasons.
In the first place his services to the
Republican party in the state well
merit such recognition, and i'm the Sec
Ond place the county deserves more
consideration than it has yet received
for its steadfast loyalty to the party,
even when the majority of the electors
in nearly every county in the state
were led astray 10y the free silver fetch.
1t may be well enough to remind the
Republicans of the state that San Juan
county was one Of the very few coun-
ties in the state which was not engulfed
10y the Populist wave four years ago,
and also that it is seldom that any
county exceeds its percentage of Re-
publican votes. We have no authority
from Mr.. McMillin to use his name in
the connection noted, but if he should
decide to become candidate for the
Philadelphia convention as it is posi-
ble that he may, he should not only
receive the loyal support Of the dele
gates from this county but of Whatcom
and Skagit counties as well.
