BY reason of the highly explosive and

the vessel but during the afternoon some
members Of the crew longing for baked

tiousy start a fire In the galley.
He did so. but hardly had the, fire been
kindled before there came an explosion
which hurled every man high up In the

galley along with the rest, describing

another which sent sheets of flame from

guarding trees against worms, they

Altogether he makes out a very good
case against tabby, and it seems quite
probable that if the Audubon society
takes the matter up and decides to
wage war on the felines, the household
sphinx's nine lives will be sacrificed
on the altar of humanitarianism. And
that, doubtless, without protest. For
ever since tabby and her friends adopt
ed the fashion of foregathering in the
back yard in the late hours of the night
and the early ones of the morning, she
has been associated with disturbed
slumbers, with outbursts of wrath all
the stronger because of the conscious
ness of impotency; and with badly
aimed bootjacks that accomplished
nothing in the way of suppressing dis
cordant notes.
And if the cat on the back fence has
been a source of annoyance during the
night, that same creature, gazing from
its perch on the hearth rug, with I'M
fathomable eyes into the glowing CRATE
has aroused irritation during the day.
She is uncanny, mysterious, sphinx in
very truth, forever suggesting ques-
tions that she never intends to answer.
And, as if this were not sufficient to
make her a disturbing element, she
embodies in her sleek personality that
most questionable of all combinations
the double life. For the disreputable
all night prowler is too frequently the
well groomed tabby Of the domestic
hearth
Undoubtedly tabby owes her long
immunity from punishment to the spin
hand, or, rather, boot raised against
her, she has heretofore found refuge
in the laps of those gentle creatures
whom the latter part of the nineteenth
century refused any longer to counte-
nance, the old maids. But it will prob
ably be as much to their championship
as on account of Mr.. WindmuIlers
"Jaccuse" that tabby will owe her flu
ture Punishment. For even if she
would, the bachelor woman of today
dare not raise her voice in defense of
the cat. The consequence might be
fatal She dare not take the risk of
slipping back into the past.

Empires.

WILLEMSTADT, Island of Curacao
Oct. 14.-Passengers arriving here from
caracas, Venezuela, confirm the reDorts
OF attacks made by the government
newspapers on the umpires of the mix
ed tribunals who have given decisions
ADVERSE to Venezuela. The passengers
add that the conduct of President Cas-
tro and the official press shows that
venezuela does not understand the re-
spect due to the mixed tribunal UNI
pres and say it was mistake to select
caracas as the seat of the tribunal
When Minister Bowen's Mexican pro-
tocol was signed the king of Spain, as
requested, appointed Senior Gaytan de
Ayala, the Spanish minister to Ven
ezuela, as Mexican umpire, and Ven
ezuela was pleased but the newspapers
of Caracas have recently insulted him
owing to his having rendered verdict
in favor of Mexico.
senior Ayala, who is rich and indie
pendent, could not be suspected of mar
tlailty, but in spite of this the Caracas
press, when he rendered his verdict
carlcatured him, representing the min
lister with bags of silver in his hands
and saying that 1.-The balance of Justice
went to the side of Mexico in conse-
quence of the weight of money which
Mexico gave him.
Another paper represented the Span
lsh minister as an ass sitting in an
unplres chair. Ell Naccionilsta, the
organ of Gen. Hernandez. the Ven
ezuelan minister at Washington. which
has been the most bitter in its attacks
on foreigners, on one occasion said:
Inc award is the outcome of ram
cor, due to the conduct of Venezuela
toward the Spanish consul at La Quay
ara or of bad faith or ignorance"
incidentally, it is stated on good au-
thorlty that Gen. Iribaren, the Ven
ezuelan commissioner, recognized the
validity of the Mexican claim. which
was also approved by the minister OF
foreign affairs. President Castro alone
opposed it.
Another newspaper of Caracas said:
1t is strange that Mexico, of the same
race, language, continent, religion and
historic origin should dare to ask
money from her sister republic, Ven
ezuela"
Finally, the Spanish minister became
so incensed that he decided to leave
Caracas on Oct. 9. He turned over the
spanish legation to the secretary, Senior
j. Gil Delgado, and has made prepara-
lions to embark for Spain, Oct. Is.
One of the passengers from Caracas
said that as a result of President Cas-
tro's policy trade in Venezuela was
stagnant, the people having 10 conf
dence In his administration.
Prices on the stock exchange are
daily falling and complications are
feared after the closing of the mixed
tribunals.

The discredited Panama canal pro-
ject turns out to be nothing more than
ruse on the part of the railway lobby
to delay the construction of an 18TH

gives indication of a desire to still
further prolong the inaction on the
part of. the government so much de-
sired by the railroads-The Aberdeen
Democrat.
Senator Hanna must be getting
scared about the results of the Ohio
campaign. In recent speech he said
that the supporters Of Johnson "are

throat and to poison the water you
drink" Such talk on the stump helps

PUSH 1T THROUGH.

The assembly committee on streets
has gone as far as 1t could in delaying
the pavement of Rosabel street by
amending the order calling for a sand
stone pavement.
On the protest and request of certain
| property holders, whom it probably
would not deeply grieve if the paving
OF the street were indefinitely post
poned, proposition to use sandstone
on part of the street and asphaIt
on another part was approved. This
requires the order to be sent back to
the board of aldermen. and, if there
passed, to go before the board of public
works
We hope that. whatever their judg-
ment about this patchwork kind of
pavement. all the other city authorities
concerned will push it through. If the
combination of two kinds of paving
material is unsatisfactory or Injurious
to the property owners, thew will have
themselves to blame for it, by permit
ting themselves to become parties to
a movement for delay. If asphalt will
not stand the wear and tear of +ba
heavy traffic on this street, then the
property owners who insisted on as
phalt after sandstone had been ordered
VIII have to pay the bill for repairs
and for a new pavement when that is
worn out. This is exactly what thew
ought to do.
Inc treatment of Rosabel street nv
the public authorities is a disgrace and
a scandal. No one doubts that the
main purpose of all the debate upon it,
and Of all the propositions for different
materials originated in an idea to MT
off the evil day of paving as far 40
possible. The public knows why that
was done and whose was the insnira-
