Dominion Revenue Cutter Made an In.
effectual Attempt to Sink
American Steamer.

The Canadian steel armored fish
patrol boat Petrol, verltable cruiser,
attacked and fired upon the little fish,
ing steamer Silver Spray, of Erie. Pa.
while the latter was looking for lost
nets near the boundary line in the
lake August 12 The men wounded
were: Capt. Christopher schau, cut
in face with splinter or glancing bull
let; Frederick Culver fisherman, hit
in leg with glancing bullet. Fifteen
or 20 shots were fired by the Cana
dians, eight of which lodged in the
fishing boat. None of the shots struck
any of the six other fishermen on the
boat. although the latter were greatly
frightened, and refused to obey Capt.
Schau's order to run the stars and
Stripes to the masthead while he was
protecting his interests. The Cana
dian authorities have had trouble with
American fishermen for years, who
were poaching on their side of the
lake, and the Petrol is kept constant
ly on the lookout for them. About
noon she came upon the Silver Spray
on the Canadian side and at once
ordered Captain Christian Chau to
stop. The Petrol is strong steel
craft and attempted to ram the Amer
lean boat before she could comply
with the formers order. Captain
Chau, remembering the fate of several
other boats from this side. which had
been captured and confiscated. de-
cided to try to escape and started
ahead at full speed. The captain of
the Petrol when he saw that the Sill
ver Spray was trying to get away.
opened fire with all the guns he had.
and before he ceased firing some 20
shots had struck the Silver Spray.
One passing through the smokestack
into the pilot house in which Chau
stood at the wheel, and two more
struck the pilot house. one of which
came within a few inches of him.
scattering splinters around his head.
The chase was kept up for some lit
tie time, but the American craft sue
ceeded in getting acroS the line,
when the Canadian patrol boat ceased
pursuit. Captain Chau sent a report
of the affair to the state department
at Washington. He says he was only
looking for some of his nets which
had drifted from this side toward the
Canadian shore.

Adieu, Cats!

Stray cats are nuisance, not only
in nocturnal prowllngs and yowlings.
but in their constant appeals to the
pity Of people. There is something
about a vagrant puss that demands
even more than sympathy. 1t is said
that the best cats for training for cir
Gus tricks are the street tramps, cats
that have been bred by vagrant pa
rents, with perhaps several genera
tlons of cat hoboism behind them.
They are quick witted and shrewd in
the dodglng OF missiles and the cap
turing of food. Their necessities have
made them clever and thus they are
better subjects for the trainer than
the pampered cat Of pedigree. Yet
their voices are unmusical and their
ways unpleasant. They must co.

eAGGAGEMEN MAIL CARRIERS.
Postmaster General Has Plan for Dis
tributlon of Newspaper Mail.

Postmaster General Payne has de-
cided to make the experiment of en-
ploying baggagemen on trains which
are not provided with mail clerks to
take charge OF and deliver open news
paper mail. This decision has been
reached after much consideration. and
in response to a petition filed by many
OF the leading newspaper publishers
OF the country, who asked the post
office department to provide facilities
for distributing open bundles of pa.
pers along the lines from trains which
carry only closed pouches. There are
larger number of such trains, and
aS the department Is not represented
by an employe on them, the postmas.
ter general declined to assume re-
sponsbility for papers not incloscd in
the pouches. The plan contemplates
that the baggagemasters shall be
sworn in as postofiice employees. and
that they shall be paid for their SER
vices. 1t is intended that they shall
deliver the papers to those to whom
they are addressed, at points along
the line from the car doors, thus saw
ing much time which would be lost in
case the papers are inclosed In
their being taken to the local post
offices before they could be delivered
to agents. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the service, through the bag

postofIlce employees were supplied for
