Prince Henry and President Roose-
welt listened to the tribute of Judge
Hay to Mckinley in the hall of repre-
sentatives on Thursday last. The eu-
logy on Washington at the request Of
Congress, was delivered by Light
Horse Harry Lee, father of General
Robert X. Lee, and In the address
Washington is declared "First in war,
first In peace and first In the hearts of
his countrymen". The words are re-
garded as descriptive. Mckinley
though a decent gentleman and fair to
the South, must take rank in history
as a mediocre President and an ordi-
nary Statesman.

Prince Henry, who in his tour of the

He rode in the Alleghapies with the

he was not afraid Of getting his clothes
soiled.

A Powerful Weapon.

III the worst should come TO tho
worst" continued Judge Alvey, "of
course IL could not be expected that the
navy OF the United States could with
stand the united navies of the European
powers. But the Government has q
weapon which IT would be entirely jus
uded IN using And that would be to
turn privateers loose upon the commerce
OF her antagonists
These European powers tn attacking
Venezuela have assumed a fearful re-
sp0usibility. They have imperiled the
peace Of the civilized world, and when
nations enter into such enterprises they
must be prepared 90 take the cOnse-
Quences.
An effort was made az the Paris Con-
vention OF 1856 10 abolish privateering
altogether Most Of the European pow
ers entered into the agreement. but Mr.
Marcy refused 10 join In. HIS theory
was that as the United States had only
a small navy it must reserve this meth
Cd OF preservation
Later on. when Confederate priva-
teers began 20 harass the commerce Of
20 the powers that tho United States was
ready 90 enter into the arrangement
But England and France both objected
unless the United States would first rec
ognlze the right Of Confederate priva-
teers 20 do what they had done. This
recognition Mr. Seward refused 90 make

a staT correspondent OF the "Balu-

Chief Justice Richard II. Alvey, OF the

States TO have one.
When President Cleveland was con-
fronted with the crisis i'm Venezuela in
1895 he took the bull by the horns and
made his protest before Great Britain

act. II was then easy for that country

"The protest should have been made
when the Venezuelan ships were sunk.

tion missed a golden opportunity. The
sinking of ships and the bombardment
Of forts IS not a recognized method Of
collecting debts. When England and
Germany adopt this method 10 is an
Indication. 10 my mind that those
countries have an ulterior motive.
They have acted apparently with
great aGrOitness. and 10 is believed that
they submitted their plans 20 Secretary
Hay and obtained from him some sort of
acquicscence in what they we're going 90
do as long as they refrained from any
permanent acquisition or territory.

the motives OF the allies and make a

British subjects. this does not in my

which tho allies have gone. The seizure
of custom houses and the collection OF
taxes is an act OF sovereignty just as
pronounced as the occupation of terri

and the destruction of trade, so far from
compelling che payment Of debts. makes
it impossible for Venezuela to pay them.
To Destroy Monroe Doctrine.
THE conduct OF the allies indicates. to
my mind, their settled purpose TO de
atroy the Monroe Doctrine. England s.
perhaps. chagrined at her failure to OIL
tain the whole of the splendid territory
she laid claim TO in 1895 and is seizing
this opportunity. Germany has always

CAKES FOR QUEENS LOVERS.
wiIheImina Did Not Forget Her
Former Admirers on the Prince
COnsOrts Birthday.

The kindliness of Queen Will
helmina of Holland is well known,
and on the birthday of her husband,
the prince consort, recently it re-
ceived another exemplihcation. On
account of her illness, the customary
festivities had to be abandoned, but
the kindly instinct of the royal in
valid would not allow the disap-
pointment to apply to some of her
favorites. 1t did not matter to the
distinguished functionaries of the
court, but there were others to
whom the upset of the arrangements
would be little short of tragic, says
a London report. These were the
children of certain humble retainers
about the court. And for these spe-
cial cakes were baked by the
queens orders.
A world of kindliness is expressed
in that little action. Her charming
disposition endears her to all who
have had opportunities OF witnessing
it's manifestations. She has had
many lovers, among them susceptible
young men not unknown in distin-
guished society in England. Before
her marriage she was pestered by
the attentions of infatuated young
men. She has an eye for the humor-
Gus side of sentiment, as she has for
the practical. The honest, loving
tribute of the fisherman who sent
her the first herring of the seasons
catch she promptly cooked and ate;
the love missives of the impertinent
she probably used as fuel for the
| herring
