The Spanish foreign Office has issued
the following version of the incident
connected with the stranding of tor
pedo boat at La Linea: "a torpedo
from the British battleship Families
altering its course, stranded on the
beach. Some Spaniards, misinterpret-
ing the action of the British sailors
tried to prevent the latter from taking
the torpedo away. The Custom House
Guards interfered, and, admitting the
right of the British sailors, permitted
them to take away the torpedo. The
admiral of the British squadron after

BARLEY AS AN ILLUSTRATION.

A free trade organ says: General
Grosvenor is still talking about barley;
if there were no tariff to exclude this
grain our barley ow RS, he says,
would starve to DEATH That is fair
specimen of free trade argument
General Grosvenor never said a word
about our barley growers starving to
death under any 'rcums.ances-
But he did say t at before the pas
sage of the Mckinley bill in 1890 over
1000 600 bushels of barley, worth
nearly 100000, were imported from
Canada in one year, white in recent
years the imports have not exceeded
100000 bushes AS the price of bar
ley has been lower since the exclusion
of the Canadian product no one was
harmed by the tariff on bar-ey. If the
tariff Were removed the i'm 90. is from
Canada would be much larger now
than before, owing to greater area
available for cultivation. General
Grosvenor says that it would be SUI
preme folly to remove the tariff and
put millions of dollars In the pockets
of Canadian farme. at the expense of
our farmers, and any sensible
man who understands the question
will agree with him.
Gen. Grosvenor merely used the bar
ley question to illustrate the benef1cent
effects of the protective tariff AS we
exported in the fiscal year 1900 barley
to the extent of %, 661 ,6S2 bushels, and
Representative Babcock advocates the
removal Of the tariff on all articles ex-
ported, under his proposition barley
would go on the free list, solely to the
benefit Of the Canadians. Gen. Gros-
venor pointed out the extreme folly of
such a course, and his argument to
that effect is sound and unimpeach-
able.-Philadelphia Press

Almost thousand years have passed
since Eric the Red first sighted the

northern limit of that vast archipelago
was last year rounded by Lieutenant
Peary, who thus reached the most

characterizes as second only in import
ance to reaching the pole, Peary writes
in recent letter: considering that !

SINKING OF A SCHOONER.

The schooner Royal Savage was de-
stroFed in the campaign of 1776- Dur
ing that summer the British were
bustly engs ged in preparing fleet for
lake service. Three boats were launch
ed at ST. Johns. The Americans were
also actively employed at the other
extremity of the lake in preparation
to oppose the threatened invasion
The superintendent of the construc-
-tion of the fleet was confided to Gen
eral Arnold. By tie middle of August
Arnold was prepared to take the lake
with a naval force carrying ffty-fve
guns, seventy-eight swivels and
manned by 395 men. His fleet consist
ed of the sloop Enterprise, the schoon-
er Liberty and gondolas New Haven,
Providence, Boston, Spitfire and Phila-
delphia. After several small engage
ments between the Americans and
Canadians and Indians the fleet was
anchored on Sept. % in the channel
between Calcour island and the main
shore. His fleet had been increased
and numbered fifteen vessels, mount
ing eighty-four guns. The British
force was twenty-nine vessels, mount
ing eighty-nine guns. At o'clock on
Friday morning, Oct. IL, the English
were discovered passing Cumberland
Head with a strong north or north
west wind, and bearing in the direction
of Crown Point, toward which it was
supposed Arnod had retired. AS the
English appeared in sight off Cumber-
land Head General Waterbury went
on board the Congress galley and
urged that they should Immediately
set sail and fight the enemy in retreat
on the broad lake; but Arnold de-
clined at that hour to change his line
of defense.
Captain Pringle- was some DIS ance
ahead of the vaIcour when he first
diately changed his course toward the
island with a view to engaging tn I'm,
but found great difficulty in bringing
any of his vessels into action. About
IL O'Clock, however, the gunboats were
enabled to creep to windward and take
a position to the south of the Ameri-
can fleet, when they op ened fire upon

galleys, had advanced short distance

schooner Carleton soon afterward

of the British fact for soma time and
until her masts were crippled and
much of her rigging shot away. Then
they attempted to return to the line,
but, running too far to leeward,
grounded near the southwest point of
the island and VS. abandoned by her
men, who succeeded in reaching the
other boats in afaty. At night the
British boarded the schooner and set
fire to her. The battle resulted in a
victory for the English and almost
total destruction to the American fleet.

age lies on the spot where she was
sunk. The upper timbeIs can yet be

A Turk holds that the day begins ex-
actly at sunset At that time he sets
his clocks and watches at the hour of
IL. As the sun has the same habits
in presiding over Turkey that he exer-
cises with regard to other localities, it
may easily be seen that this system of
reckoning time necessitates setting the
clocks every day. A watch which
could run fer weeks without gaining
or losing a minute would be of no
special value to a Turk.

ANEcDoro By BOB EVANS.

Admiral Evans, in his interesting
autobiography, "A Sailors Log re-
lates an amusing anecdote of Capt.
Trenchard, who, when he commanded
the Rhode Island, had a very accom-
plished steward, a colored man who
had become so expert in catching flies
off the capt-in's bald head that the
captain was never annoyed by them.
Admiral Lardner," says Admiral Ev-
ans, had for his steward a large
heavy-handed Irishman who watched
the colored man with great envy while
his master, undisturbed, enjoyed his
meals Pats master thrashed at the
flies and swore roundly as they lighted
on his close-cropped hair. The colored
man went on catching flies with a
quick, deXterous movement of his right
hand until Pat could stand it no long
er. Drawing back he made a vicious
swing at fly, but, instead of catching
it, he caught the admiral an awful
blow on the back of the head. The
admiral, thinking there was a mutiny,
grabbed the carving knife and made
after Patrick, who retreated to the
spar deck, and there was a hurdle race
fore and aft-the officer of the deck
and the orderly trying to catch the ad-
miral, who was doing his best to put
the carving knife in the back of Pat.
who finally escaped, but never both

miral's head.''-Chicago News.

long and twenty inches wide, and the

its musical qualities until the throngs
began to walk over it on their way to

men can be found in the navy yard

in this particular sty of walking, can
