HE EARNED HIS MEDAL,
Heroic Act of "a stoker on n British
WarshIp-

Towards the end OF the year 1897
the British torpedo-boat Thrasher.
with its mates Lynx and Sunfsh, left
st. Ives on passage to Falmouth. On
the way the Thrasher grounded on
point, causing serious injury to the
boilers and the bursting OF the main
feed-pipe. The burst pipe instantly
filled the stokehold with scalding
steam. In ii were two stokers, Ed
ward Lynch and James Paul. All the
rest Of the boats company were land
ed on the rocks, but the doubling up
of the deck had prevented the egress
of the stosers by the starboard hatch
way. There was still a port hatch
way, which was partially closed, and
towards this the two men made their
way, Lynch in the lead. Directly un-
der the hatchway and dlscharging
through 1t, was the break In the steam
pipe. Lynch rush through 1t safely,
and turned to help his mate Paul.
But an instant convinced him thar
Paul was unable to follow. Then
Lynch lay down on the deck with his
head and face In the escaping steam,
seized hold of the sinking Paul, and
by a remarkable exercise Of force and
tenacity drew him up on the deck.
Lynch then rose to his feet, but II
was observed that he was badly scald-
ed about the head, arms and upper
part OF the body. The surgeon began
to apply oil and wool to his burns. but
he repealed the attention. I'm all
right" he exclaimed; look after my
chuml He's very bad!" He had said
nothing about the way he had rescued
Paul, but his manly conduct led the
surgeon to investigate. and II was AZ
certained that. in order to rescue his
comrade, ne had plunged the whole
upper part OF his body into what wal
practically a boiling cauldron. Mora
than this. II appeared that Lynch had
previously sacrificed his own chance
OF escaping from the stokehold thu
other way in order to stay with Paul
In recognition OF this act OF selisac
riflce and bravery. Lynch was pre-
sented with the Albert Medal Of TIL
first class, which Ia given primaril!
for gallantry In saving or attempting
TO save life at sea, and in some cases
for similar acts ashore.

Presently he began the operation.

TO renew the attack, when she crushed him.
Thank you very much,' she said sweet

for a moment to the back of the seat Then

ASKED TO INTERCEDE
APPEAL TO THIS COUNTRY BY vENE-
ZUELA.
1t Desires to Resume Diplomatic and
Former Commercial Rela-
tiOns With France.

Inquiry into the reported effort of the
Venezuelan government to induce the Unit
ed States government to intervene with
France to secure an abatement OF eXces-
sve taxes levied on Venezuelan coffee dis
clCse the fact that the Venezuelan propo-
stion is much broader than above stated.
What is sought is a restoration OF the good
relations that formerly existed between
Venezuela and France, and the South
American republic has turned to the United
States as a mutual friend to encompass
this object.
The breach of relations between France
and Venezuela dates back about decade.
At that time, Venezuela being in domestic
turmoil the ministers resident at Caracas.
after Il general consultation, addressed to
their respective governments some commu-
nications very critical OF the Venezuelan
government and derogatory to the charac-
ter Of the Venezuelan people, who were de-
scribed as incapable Of self-government
This was the outcome of private meet
ing of the diplomatic body, and the Venezu-
elan government might never have known
of it, or, at least, would have been unable
to take official cogniZance OF the matter,
had not the Italian government, through an
inadvertence allowed its minister's letter
treating Of this subject to appear in the
Green Book. which contains a digest OF
the Italian diplomatic correspondence or
the year. Upon this publication the Vene-
zuelan government became indignant and
promptly gave passports to every one of
the offending diplomats The United States
minister and one or two others escaped the
general attack because they had not in
dorsed the majority view. But nearly all
of the European representatives were po-
litely but firmly elected from Venezuela.
OF course Venezuela could not get along
without some means of diplomatic inter-
course with the rest Of the world so efforts
were soon initiated by her to patch up the
difficulty, and these have been successful in
all important cases, with the single excep-
ton of France. But this exception was felt
very keenly by Venezuela, which not only
purchases heavily in France, but sells about
a third of her products In that country. At
present the French government is levying
upon all Venezuelan imports the maximum
tariff duties allowed by the French system
amounting TO a prohibition in many cases.
and nothing can be done toward securing
better tariff rates for Venezuelan goods ex-
cept by direct negotiation between the
French and Venezuelan governments. This
in turn, cannot be accomplished until the
two countries have resumed diplomatic re-
lations and appointed ministers resident
In this condition Venezuela has turned to
the United States. and through United
States Minister Loomis has sought to in
duce France to forget and forgive.

Quaint Document Calling for the Ap-
prehensiOn Of DesperadO.
| From the New York Sun.
News has reached Quebec of the capture
| of the famous Indian desperate and outlaw
Frank Wabie. The search for him extended
| over $50 miles of the northern region of OF
| tawa, in what is known the Gatineau
| country a district well known to number
| Of American deer hunters.
The murder for which Wabie is now under
arrest is that of fur trader named Thomas
McCabe of the upper Gatineau, whom he
slew on May II last at Silver Lake. Five
days after the murder Wabie appeared at
the Basketong trading post and boasted of
what he had DONE bartering SIS worth of
furs belonging to the murdered man for pro-
visions for his own family. Pressure was
! brought to bear by the authorities upon the
chief Indian of the tribe and he was in
| duced to issue the following remarkable
proclamation, the English version here
given being a translation written out by
his wife who Is a full-blooded Algonquin,
but received her education at the mission
house:
II thinked over this what happened the
11th Mty at Silver Lake. Frank Wabie
murdered Thomas McCabe, who was from
the Du Lievre buying fors. All We Indians,
l am talking to all of yOus that's living in
the woods, are travelling through the coun-
try. l am talking to each and every one
Of you's. / want you all not to hide this
man, Frank Wabie, for he done very wrong,
and l want you's to tell, soon you can,
If you knows where he is, and catch him if
you can and bring him down to Maniwaki
and be rewarded. Please forward this mes
sage all you can. This man Wabie. he Is
short and small. All We Indians try and live
as quite you can, SO as nothing will hap
pen again. We must help all we can to
catch this Indian, Frank Wabie, who has
done very wrong.
CHIEF JOHN TANASKO Maniwaki."
The proclamation was practically without
effect. Not only did the Indians who roam
the northern wilderness decline to turn in
formers, but they put every possible obsta-
c.e in the way of the officers and by the
character of the information which they
volunteered from time to time proved them

short and broad of stature and are extreme

ing but single room about sixteen feet
square were seven squaws and nine chill
dren, the latter ranging from baby Of two
months to young buck of eighteen years.
Wabie's statement of the crime made to
the officers to whom he surrendered is to
the effect that he killed McCabe because
the latter attempted undue familiarity with
his squaw. Other Indians declare that the
quarrel occurred about the purchase Of
