John G. Nicolay. the blographer OF
Lincoln, died In Washington the
other day. His fame has not
mounted so high as that OF his
collaboration. Secretary Of State John
Hay. but II is to him that the latter
owes his start in public life, During
the long contest between Douglas and
Lincoln in Illinois, Nicolay who was a
newspaper man, espoused the cause OF
Lincoln. When Lincoln was nomlnat-
ated for the presidency he appointed
Nicolay his campaign secretary. After
the election the correspondence became
so large that an assistant became
necessary, and for this position Mr.
Nicolay chose John Hay, now secreta-
ry Of state, but then young law stu
dent In Springfield. Both accompanied
Mr.. Lincoln TO Washington. After the
beginning az his second term. and just
before his assassination the President
appointed Mr.. Nicolay United States
consul at Paris and appointed Mr.. Hay
secretary Of the American legation in
the same city. They had not, how
ever, entered upon their new duties
before Mr.. Lincoln's death occurred.
Mr.. Nicolay held the Office Of consul at
Paris until the spring OF 1869. Upon his
return to Washington he lived there in
retirement until 1872, when he was
appointed marshal Of the Supreme
Court of the United States, holding
that Office for fifteen years.

THE CAPTURE OF MISS STONE.

Reports Of the capture OF An Ameri-
can missionary lady in Macedonia, py
Turkish brigands, or outlaws In TURK
ish costumes, appear to indicate that
the outrage was committed for the pur-
pose OF robbery and to obtain a ran
som. But another Interpretation has
been put upon it. 1t is supposed that
the crime possibly was committed by
Macedonian reyolutlonists who, by this
means hoped to bring Turkey and Bull
garla into collision, and at the same
time arouse the American people.
There is great deal Of mystery
about the capture Ordinary bandits
would hardly have returned the silver
to the captives. Turkish brigands
would hardly have treated a Turkish
prisoner with exceptional cruelty and
finally killed him. This fact points to
the possibility Of their being Greeks or
Bulgarians, But whatever they are,
our government has made demands
upon both the Turkish and Bulgarian
authorities. that they use all diligence
in resculng the unfortunate lady and
her companion, and II is said the two
governments are securing the border
with great energy with view OF run
ming down the robbers, whoever they
may be.
AT the same time the American board
OF foreign missions Is said to consider a
proposition to pay the ransom demand
ed for the release OF the lady. II Is
no doubt wise to do so without delay,
for persons In the hands Of such brig
ands are not safe, as long as the Dues
ton Of ransom Is not decided.
But when the money has been paid
our government should see to II that
the country under the jurisdiction OF
which the crime was committed, re-
fund the money and pay reasonable
DAMAGES besides. There are quite
number of American citizens in Tur-
Key some residing there permanently
and some soJourning there only for
time. They are all entitled TO protec-
ton In their lawful pursuits, and UNI
less the authorities are held RESPONSE
bic for outrlges committed against
them, their personal safety VIII always
be endangered.

THE RACES FOR THE CUP.

II Is now fifty yrars since the cup,
which Sir Thomas Upton is endeavor-
ing TO take with him home, was tri-
umphantly brought to this country by
the America. II was offered at that
time by the Royal Yacht Squadron Of
England as a prize In race to which
all nations were ipvited. There were
fifteen competitors in that race. and
the America sailed away from them all
and won, Notwithstanding the fact that
she lost her jib-boom.
In 1857 the owners OF the cup pre-
sented 1t to the New York Yacht club
as an international trophy to be raced
for, but not tn the year 1865 did the
British decide to recapture It. In that
year James Ashbury, Of the Royal
Thames Yacht club, sent a challenge,
but the race did not come of until 1870.
Mr.. Ashbury brought over the schooner
yacht Cambria, and sailed against a
fleet OF twenty-three American schoon-
ers, including the America and the
Dauntless The centerboard schooner
Magic won, with the Idler second, the
America fourth, and the Cambria tenth.
The following year Mr.. Ashbury
brought over the new schooner Livonia.
This time two yachts. the Columbia and
the sappho. were placed against the
challenger and five races were sailed.
The Columbia won two, the Livona
one, and the sappho two.
In 1876 and 1881 Canadian yachtsmen
were the challengers. but the American
boats Madeline and Mischief held the
trophy successfully.
In 1885 the Royal Yacht squadron
endeayored to retake the cup with the
cutter Genesta. II was defended sue
cessfully by the Puritan. The race that
year Is considered the first OF real Inn
portance in American waters. Two
races were sailed. one over the club
course, September IL, was won by the
Puritan by l6 minutes 10 seconds, cor
rected time, and the other. twenty
miles from Scotland Llghtship and re-
turn, was won by the Puritan by
minute IS seconds.
In 1856 the Maynower had an easy
victory over the English yacht Galatea.
and the following year the Thistle. sent
over by the Royal clyde Yacht club,
was defeated by the Volunteer.
In 1892 Lord Dunraven tried for the
cup, but his Valkyrie II was defeated
BIZ the vigilant. The contest was
made the best three races out o. FIVE,
and the outside courses were selected
fifteen miles to windward, OF leeward
and return. from Sandy Hook Light
ship, and triangular ten miles TO each
leg. II was three straight for the
Vigilant. the FIRST being won BY five
minutes forty-eight seconds, corrected
time; the second by ten minutes thir-
ty-five seconds. and the third by foriy
seconds Lord Dunraven tried again
In 1897 with his valkyrie III, but In
vain against the Defender.
Sir Thomas Upton came over in 1895
with the Shamrock. The Columbia was
then selected TO defend the cup and did
so successfully. on October ie the
Columbia won by ten minutes eight
seconds. corrected time. The Column
bia won on October II without con-
test. the topmast Of the Shamrock car
rying away soon after the start. on
oct. 20 the Columbia won In a mag
nIfceni race by six minutes thirty-four
seconds.

COMPETING FOR THE POLE

No less than three American explor-
Ing parties are now racing for the
North Pole. Lieutenant Peary's idea
was to start from Grinnell Land, while
Captain Baldwin and Walter Welman
intended TO take practically the same
route, from Franz Josef Land. The two
latter expeditions are likely to meet
at several points. II they do not ac-
tually conclude TO make the trip to-
gether in brotherly harmony,and share
honors or hardships.
Lieutenant Peary has enriched the
world with some valuable geographic
knowledge. He has found that Green
land is large island, the largest In
the world He has surveyed the north
ern edge OF the archipelago and is able
to give an approximately correct out
line OF 1t. Among the detail work he
has done is the survey of part Of
the coast Of Melville bay on the west
determination Of the extreme north
west coast, and OF the entire north
and northeast coasts as far south as
Independence bay, and the rectifca-
ton Of earlier surveys. In addition to
his coast work, he has travelled 2,400
miles on the inland ice cap, defining its
northern termination, and has twice
crossed Grinnell Land, extending fur
Their south the mapping Of It's western
shores. Whether Peary succeeds in
reaching the Pole or not his patient,
persistent labors in the forbidding Arc
tic regions entltle him 70 the first place
among the explorers there.
The leaders of the other two Amer
lean parties are said TO entertain
rather strained relations, and as they
are accompanied by good shots, It is
TO be hoped the search for the Pole
viii be made without any tragedy
that would be an everlasting dis
grace.

also systematic working Of the beryl
