The Ships Rail.

A thousand or more expectant
friends of the voyagers got up at dawn
to greet the liner, knowing that it was
her habit to poke her nose into the
Hook not long after sun-up.
There were husbands waiting for
wives, wives waiting for husbands,
lovers expecting sweethearts, parents
anxious to see children and children
ready to greet parents. Also there
were persons who were hoping to see
other persons who hoped that some
other persons still might not see them.
A fleet of harbor bantams pulled about
the ship. Presently she headed In,
half dozen tugs pressing their
matted bow tenders against her star
board quarter to bring her parallel
with her dock. Her cabin passengers
crowded to her port rail on the prom
enade deck and there was an eruption
of handkerchiefs, hats and silken edi-
tons of the flag. In fact, the waving
had begun long before folks on the
pier could make out the features Of
those on the liner.
A handsome black-mustached man,
whose family have been abroad, spies
them in bunch at the rail flourishiDy
handkerchiefs and flags. He hasn't
any bunting himself, but he has two
handkerchiefs, a high hat, cane and
an umbrella, and he tries to wave
them all at once.
Look at papa!"
That's what his little girl said as she
made an effort to get over the rail on
which b -other was holding her.
Everybody on the pier looked at
papa, who didn't seem to care, as he
tried to express his joy by waving
everything at once.
A short, blonde man made his black
derby hat express his emotions in a
way that made him center Of OBJ
servation for a while. He may have
belonged to the Signal Corps.
Instead Of waving his hat in the per
functory way he did the semaphoric
act He took the hat first in the right
hand, using his arm like a pump

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Lord Balfour of Bur-
leigh, lord secretary for Scotland, in a
speech yesterday at Edinburgh. was the first
Cabinet minister to discuss Anglo-German
cooperation in Venezuela since the crisis
became acute. He said ii was not an alli-
ance for defensive purposes, extending for
a great length of time and for all the in
terests of the two countries, but was a
mere casual cooperation for specific pur-
pose and for limited time. He had not
the slightest doubt that compensation
which would be satisfactory to Great Brit
ain would be satisfactory to Germany and
pensation would prevent any breach of the
existing good feeling between the Euro
pean countries and the United States. Ii
was best for the peace of the world that
Great Britain and Germany should have
acted together.

The Episode at San Carlos.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-The following
statement was made at the German en-
bassy tonight by Count Quadt, relative to
the Panther episode at Fort San Carlos:
I'VE had thought until now that the
Panther was trying to get into Maracaibo
harbor, which it had perfect right to do
to make the blockade more effective and to
stop the supposed importation of supplies
from across the Colombian border. Here
tofore this opinion prevailed in Berlin and
only now has a report come showing alb
solutely clearly that the Panther had not
the remotest intention Of going into the
harbor and could not have done so because
she was drawing too much water to cross
the bar. Her intention was to get better
shelter near the bar and when she was APP
preaching the bar she was fired on by the
San Carlos forts"

cided at the proper time to appoint David

Indiana, to the position Of disbursing agent
of the federal building shortly to be
erected at Anderson. The secretary under
stands that Mr.. Durbin is a representative
business man of Anderson, and his ap-
pointment will doubtless meet with general
commentator. The position is one of re-
sponsibility and honor, and is much sought
after by business men and bankers gen.
orally, although the compensation is upon
commission basis on the amount dis
bursed Usually a small bond is required.
Mr.. Durbn was not an applicant for the
place. and his appointment is therefore in
the nature of a compliment. 1t is neces-
sary to appoint these agants in all the cities
where federal buildings being con-
structed. There are a number of them to
