Her Return.

Hilton R. Greer, in Judge She was absent, they say, but month
 and a day, An, mel but 1t seemed like year, For the heavens hung gray while the
 weeks wore away, And all of the landscape was drear. But now comes a gush from the throat

 Since Marjorie's back from the Springs. She had suitors galore by the dozens and

 AS she loitered by lake side and sea: But the season is OCT, and from summit
 and shore She has fiuttered back home-and to

THE SEAS AWFUL DEMAND.
Like the Leech's Daughter, Mother
 Ocean Calls for More, More!"

From the London Daily News.
 Lloyd's annual return of vessels lost and condemned shows in a striking form the prodigious tribute that Is claimed every year by the sea. The loss of life is not given, but no less than TOP vessels of upward of hun dred tons were reported last year as abandoned, burned missing, In col lision, wrecked or foundered. To this vanished fleet must be added 146 yes sells which were broken up or con demned The total tonnage lost at sea is upward of half a millionaire equivalent of 500 craft of thousand tons apiece. No wonder the under writers are busy.
 England can congratulate herself on holding the front rank in point of se- curity, for while its actual losses are the heaviest, the number of wrecks relative to the tonnage afloat are smaller than that of any of the first class maritime powers. To be strictly accurate the colonies came out frac- tion better than the mother country. Germany comes next, and Norway, with it's big fleet of the cast-off ves- sells of other nation, shows the high est percentage of losses, 6.39, as con- pared with 2.39 for Engand. Norway's fleet of floating collins has grown to be something like an international scandal and it is time a conference was summoned for the establishment of some general standards of safety by which every nation should be bound We are by no means blame less ourselves in respect to finding and manning, but we are in a strong posi- tion to take the initiative; and as large charterers of Norwegian tonnage, and in our capacity of salesmen of the very ships which come to grief on our coast at every gale, we are by no means free from responsibility. One disqui. t. ing feature of the return is the ex- tremely small proportion of vessels condemned to the number owned. Last year 146 vessels were broken up out of the worlds fleet of 24,892.
 We imagine that Lloyd's is hardly satisfied with state of things which marks the survival of some thousands of unfit ships, and almost certainly accounts for the wreck of others.

Grain rates have got down to such a
low basis that there is profit whatever
in eastbound tonnage. This may be ap-
preciated when l say that the highest
rate we have had from Cleveland to New
York has been cents per hundred. We
have not lost money, but this has been
due entirely to the westbound tonnage,
which has been of a profitable kind.
Notwithstanding the improvements
made to the canal by the expenditure of

to any of the lines traversing the canal
There has been trouble from low water

Portsmouth, Nov. 1.-Today's naval
pageant in honor of the return of the
Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and
York was almost a reproduction of the
ceremonial attending their departure
The harbor and town were astir early.
Immense crowds assembled along the
sea front and rounds of cheers mingled
with the national anthem and salutes
from the harbor ships and land batter

board the royal yacht the king, in the

on the after bridge Al the salute while
the queen and the children of the duke

sides lined with their crews Nelson's
old flagship, the Victory, started the sa-
lutte to their majesties, and each ship in
turn took it up, as the Victoria and AL
bert moved down the Solent accompani-
ed by dotilla of older royal yachts.

HoWIsoN ANSWERS CRITICS.
Denies Interview on Schley Alleged In
Boston DISPATCHES.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Acting Sec
rotary Hackett of the navy made pub
lie correspondence between Rear Ad-
miral Howison and himself in relation
to the fitness of the admiral to serve
upon the court of inquiry. in which
the latter makes a somewhat
qualified denial of the interview on the
Sampson-Schley controversy alleged
in Boston dispatches. and offers to
withdraw from the court. but says
that if he remains he can do his duty
as a member of the court without par
tiality.
The correspondence was sent to Ad-
miral Schley, who discussed it with
his counsel. Later in the day the fol-
lowing announcement was made:
Admiral Schley's counsel is entirely
dissatisfied with the position of Ad-
miral Howison as disclosed in his let
ter to Acting Secretary Hackett."
The lawyers hold that 1t is not COM
prehensive denial of the statements
attributed to Admiral Howison nor.
they say. does it disclose sufficiently
the admiral's freedom from bias.
