In new book devoted entirely to the
story of the famous American frigate
Constitution it is related that several
years before the war of 1912 Admiral
Nelson saw the vessel in the Mediter-
ranean and remarked. There is in the
handling of these transatlantic ships
a nucleus of trouble for the navy of
Great Britain" The author of the
book concludes that the extraordinary
successes Of "Old Ironsides" were due
in part TO the fact that her crew was
composed of picked New England sail
ors. American naval history, in the
last analysis. always gives the main
credit to the men behind the guns
and our ship designers and builders.

Throne Saves Their Heads.
Pekin. Feb. AT their meeting yes
terday the foreign ENJOYS prepared a
note, to be delivered to the Chinese
plenipotentiaries, containing the sub
stance of the decisions arrived at, in
Guiding the sentences Of execution.
This will be translated and delivered
to Prince Ching and LII Hung Chang,
who will Immediately communicate
with the court before replying.
The ministers refuse to spare the life
of Tung Flu Hsiang, on the ground that
they did not consider the claim of the
plenipotentiaries reasonable. They al
lowed the lives of Prince Tuan and
Duke Ian, not because they considered
their crimes less, but on account OF
their relationship to the imperial fam
lily and the effect their death might
have on the Chinese.
The ministers were surprised that no
plea was put forward in favor OF
Prince Chwang, but neither Prince
Ching nor Ii Hung Chang made any
objection to the full penalty in his case
1t is believed the court will urge the
saving of at least two more, the season
for this being that Prince Ching and
LII Hung Chang were taken by sur
prise, as prior to the conference the
ministers had only desired the be-
heading OF half the others to be ban
ised and had given the impression that
the Chinese would be allowed to decide
who should be beheaded and who ban

In its sculptural adornment. as well

any enterprise of the kind ever held.
There are over 125 splendid original

poetry in what to many may seem ex-

Age and the Age of Enlightenment. At
the other end of the Esplanade the
Fountain of Nature, by George T..

tural adornment, and the idea of this
fountain is amplitied in minor ones,
such as the Fountain of Kronos Foun-

New York, Feb. For one hour and
II minutes Ernest Roeber, the Ameri-
can champion wrestler, and the French
champion. Paul Pons. struggled for SUI
premacy in roped ring in Madison
Square Garden last night. They might
have gone for another hour. but the
arbitrary order of Police Inspector
Thompson, who declared that he would
not allow the bout to go on after mid
night, stopped the match in a most
unsatisfactory manner at midnight.
Pons held the upper hand at nearly
every stage of the contest but he
lasked the cleverness of the smaller
man, who was never caught unawares.
That the bout was on the level there
can be no question.
