EUROPE'S QUARREL.

President McKinley's reported desire
to withdraw American troops from China
in order to avoid ENHANCEMENT in the
almost inevitable international conflict
now threatened by the situation will
doubtless be encouraged by the sanest
public sentiment of the American PEG
pie.
The United States government would
have, comparatively, so little to gain by
participation in what is likely to be the
greatest war of the century that it would
be folly to remain in a position making
such participation imperative, Nor is
there any peril of a confession of weak
ness or of a spirit Of duty-shirking IN the
President ; favorable attitude toward a
policy of retirement from q squabble
which should, in all wisdom, be limited
to the European powers.

practice they are enabled to remain
underneath the water three minutes

This latter fate is the risk Of the bust

The Florida fishers use boat ane

This enables them to.see plainly while

most valuable sponges come from yer!
