THE FLOUR SEIZURES.
Mr.. CHoATE MAKES REPRESENTATIONS
ON THE SUBJECT TO LORD SALISBURY


ON THE SUBJECT TO LORD SALISBURY
London, Jan 3-The United States Ambas-
sador Joseph H. Choate. visited the British
Premier. Lord Salisbury, at the Foreign Office
this evening, for the purpose of making the
first official representations on the subject of
the Delagoa Bay -four seizures Mr. Choate re-
ceiVed no definite reply, the Premier informing
him that the British Government had not yet
arrived at any decision as to whether not
foodstuffs contraband of war But Lord
Salisbury assured Mr. Choate that the com
mercial rights Of the United States would be
equitably considered and that decision in this
important matter would be reached as soon as
possible. The interview was brief
The Associated Press learns that Lord Sails
bury has not only got the Attorney General
Sir Richard Webster, working hard on the ques-
ton OF the Delagoa Bay seizures, but that he
is consulting with the ablest lawyers in Great
Britain To quote high official:
England Is between Scylla and Charybdis
II we declare foodstuffs contra band we put our
selves in a most awkward position should we
be neutral power in some future war We
are most anxious to conserve the interests of
the united States, yet self-preservation must
necessarily come first"
1t was further learned that Great Britain
may lay down new regulations regarding con-
traband, making distinction between food evil
uehtIy intended for domestic purposes and food
palpably intended for field rations Under the
latter head might come certain classes of canned
goods.
The British Government fully realizes that
the representations of Mr. Choate will compel 1t
TO decide this far-reaching matter and while his
request has been made and received in the most
friendly spirit, the quandary is not relished
oy Lord Salisbury, though it is not regarded
as lRely TO cause international friction. One
thlhg is certain, the question will not be settled
nurr1eoly, though ii is impossible even for the
Caplnet Ministers to forecast the dat when Mr..
Choate VIII receive a definite answer which
must settle Great Britans stand upon the
question of contra band.

The news The Sun publishes this
week conce; ing the strike in the Her
cules minn at Battle Lake will be OF a
gratifying nature to all the people who
nre-and have been Tor years-pinning
their faith to the mines IN that locality.
There can no longer be any doubt but
what the very rich sulphide copper.
which has been So abundant in both the
Rambler and Rudefeba, has been struck
in the Hercules. What the Hercules
has the Portland Groups bound to have,
both being on the same formation and
very clcoe together. Battle Lake is to
be congratulated on its rich copper
mines within tvs or three miles OF the
town. We hope they will find many
more such mines-and we believe they
~ill-right in that vicinity. for we want
to see the top of the Continental Divide
covered with shaft houses.

A COMMON ERROR.
Concerning the Porto Rican Measure
Corrected.

Mr.. Spaliing. a member of the
House of Representatives, writes
thus to the Washington Post:
Editor Post:-Since becoming
a subscriber and reader of your
paper. l have read with much in
terest your very able editorials OH
matters of public interest, and
must say that. as a rule, they are
eminentiy fair in their treatment
of the questions of the day. 1t
has been stated on the floor of the
House. repeatedly that the news
papers and people do not under
stand the Porto Rican bill. / have
myself %refrained from making
such statement publicly or pri-
yately. Yonr article in to-day's
paper. on page 7, headed "Allen to
be Governor" indicates that there
may be foundation for such charg-
es. You state in that article that
the Porto Rican law provides for
"A tariff of Is per cent. on all ar.
ticles coming into the United
States. and going from the United
States into Porto Rico. | saw
precisely the same statement made
in an editorial in one of the lead
ing dailies of the Northwest a few
days ago. Now, saying nothing
about the exceptions made in the
bill. this statement is very mis-
leading, as theirs is n very wide
difference between Is per cent. tar
iff and a tariff equal to Is per
cent. OF Dingley rates. ! appre-
bend that this is an uninteptional
misststement, but is jnst as mis-
leading to the public as though
made Intentionally. Of course.
1t does not affect the principal in
volved III the bill but as between
severe and liberal treatment it does
make n difference. Such errors
should be avoided by all discreet
opponents of the measure.

An Apron Worth $4,000.

There has recently come to light
an apron-probably the most ex

tant--that busted the fingers of
the hapless Mary, Queen of SCOTS,
and served to divert her mind
from her impending doom at the
block. The fallen soverign-all
hope gone-centred her interest
upon it during the latter part of
her long confinement, and created
the masterpiece of n~eedlework.
Just before her execution she Sc
creted her priced apron under the
lining of one of her robes which
kept her treasure safe until recent
ly the garment was ripped apart.
Its history has since been fully
authenticated through letters writ.

apron came into the possession of
an American, who has refused

ed $1,000 for the privilege of un-
raveling a single stitch TO learn
it's secret. which is n mystery to

consented, however, to its repro
