THAT FRIENDLY BLOCKADE.

II is now denied that the United
States Atlantic squadron Is to establish
a friendly blockade Of Lisbon. The re-
port was too absurd in the first in
stance to be believed, but a positive
denial of It may be desirable to make
assurance doubly sure that Uncle Sam
has not indeed, lost his sense Of pro-
prlety and dignity According 10 the
New York Herald, what the depart
ment intended was a long distance sea
run, in which the most effective speed,
the coal endurance and, as trial burst,
the highest sustained speed Of the bat
tleships could be tested. As Lisbon is
a convenient and hosptable port, fairly
remote from the seaboards of our RI
walls, it was selected as the best place
to give the men shore liberty. That is
entirely different from BLOCKADE"
There Is nothing Objectionable in that
plan fram any point Of view whatever.

found much TO admire In the career of

Donald was the son of a Scotch crofter.
He entered the army as private sol

him for distinguished service and valor

some caves in the Keryina hills, a

species, the smaller of which, elephas
melitensis, did not exceed yard in

mnaidriensis was hardly larger than
