AUGMENT THE REVENUE FLEET.
Government Decides to Increase the
Number of Cutters on Lakes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "A fOrmi-
maintained upon the great lakes. Not
long ago the old Michigan was the
only government. vessel upon those
waters. Now, however, the United
States has the Tuscarora, the Morrill,
and the Dallas upon the lakes, and
to this fleet will soon be added the
Mackinaw. The 7Tusearora- is TO be
assigned to Lakes Superior and Miehi-
gan; the MorrelI to Huron and Erie
the Dallas to Ontario and the Maeki-
nav to St. Mary's anchorage as sta
ton ship.
This fleet will be augmented as
fast as available appropriations viii
permit, it being the purpose of the
government to have American inte-
rests upon the great lakes thoroughly
protected especially in view of re-
cent developments which indicate tina,
the Canadiaps will attempt a strictel
enforcement of their laws.
AS the question of boundary is in
vOlved in most of the cases, and as
the Canadians are quick to fire upor
American vessels, it is deemed imper-
ative that our force of revenue cut
tiers should be augmented until it is
adequate to grant prompt protection

lakes. = .~-T

rs Mr. Greeley aboard?" asked the
chairman of the committee.
He was a few miles back" said
Mr.. Monk Yes" he added, after
looking down through the hole which
the fearful jolting had made in the
coach roof-"yes, can see him! He
is there
Mr.. Greeley" said the chairman
Of the committee, presenting himself
at the window of the coach, Mr.
Greeley, sir! We are come to most
cordially welcome you sir-why, God
bless me, sir, you are bleeding at the
nose!" q ~ y 7
I've got my orders, cried Mr.. Monk
My orders is as follows: Cit him
there by sewing. 1t wants a quarter
to sewing. Stand out Of the way"
But, sir exclaimed the commit
teeman, Selling the off horse by the
reins-"Mr. Monk, we are coming to
escort him to town. Look at the
procession sir, and the brass band
and the people and the young women
sir"
I've got my ORDERS" screamed Mr.
Monk. MY orders don't say nothing
about no brass bands and young
women. My orders says git him
there by sewing. Let go them lines!
Clear the way there! Whoop-ep!
Keep your seat, Horace" and the
coach dashed wildly through the pro-
cession, upsetting a portion of the
brass band and violently grazing the
wagon which contained the beautiful
young women in white.
Years hence, gray-haired men, who
were little boys in this procession, will
tell their grandchildren how this
stage tore through Mud Springs, and
how Horace Greeley's bald head ever
and anon showed itself, like wild
apparition, above the coach roof.
Mr.. Monk was on time. There is a
tradition that Mr.. Greeley was very
indignant for awhile, then he laugh
ed, and finally presented Mr.. Monk
with a bran new suit Of clothes.

HE is QUITE A TALkER.
The Grandson of General Grant Has
Something to Say of Canada.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 2.-'I believe
and have always been taught that
Canada by right is a part of the
United States, and will be some day
by force or favor"
These words published by a Toron-
Algernon Sartoris, grandson of Cen
eral L. S. Grant, have provoked harsh
criticism, and Mr.. Sartoris is promis-
ed rough handling if he comes to this
Cobourg, just east of here.
Yes, | did say it was merely the
ravor of the United States that gave
Canada its present lease of life as a
nation. What does England care
for her colony here? She has
just shown her lack of feel
ing, and Canadians admit it. The
United States must have the Domin-
ion some day and they might as well
take it now. Could they take it?
Well, now, what are you laughing
about. OF course they could.
Il have heard the question discus
sed ardently among army officers OF
the republic. Of course, they know
the Canadians will fight, but the
Americans think they would soon be
convinced of the advantage to be de-
rived from being made free people
part of the greatest republic in the
world

Moderates and Progress
SiveS Battle at Polls
ISSUE IS PROGRESSIVE SCHOOLS
Progressives Also Demand Inquiry
Into Sanitary condition of
/ III FIJI P.Se'sh.

LONDON, Nov. 2-It is something OF
a coincidence that elections are being
held almost .sima ltaneously in Londo pr
and New York" the two greatest cit
les of the English speaking world, and
it is especially noteworthy that in
London, as in New York.. there Is ar
active non-partisan movement, indie
pendent Of the great national parties
and looking only to the improvement
of the affairs Of the people.
The election in London for the
choice Of a city government is held
today. The chief issue is the promo
ton of the schools and action by the
by the city government for improving
the condition of the working classes
the former measure being made the
more prominent.
The division is between the Moder-
ates and the Progressives, the former
total membership of the borough
councils, but the latter have been
more active in the present canvass
and hope to reduce the preponderance
of the Moderates if not to secure con-
troll. Their campaign is directed to
getting the most possible out of the
education acts recently passed. They
urge the provision Of the school ac-
commodatiOn as far as possible I'M
der public control. The selection of
the school officers and teachers on
ground of fitness, without regard to
political or UNCONVENTIONAL views
the extension of higher grade schools
and of scholarships; cooperation in
the strenuous enforcement of school
attendance, and the selection of wom-
en- on the school boards.
The Progressives also demand a
thorough inquiry into the sanitary
condition of each borough, with a
stringent enforcement of the laws
against pure food. On the labor side
they advocate the establishment of
employment bureaus, direct employ
ment in preference to the cOtract sys-
tenn, and the maintenance of union
rates and conditions.

STEEL MAGNATEs ARE SORE.
They Don't Like the Idea of Competi
tors Getting Armor Plate Contract

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE trusts
have another grievance against the
Roesevelts administration. Secretary
Moody's' action in giving a contract
for one-thifd of the Is, 900 tons Of ar
NOR plate needed for new battle-ships
to the MidNale Steel company of Penn
sylvania is not pleasing to the steel
trust. = ..
The Midvale company had the low
est bid and under ordinary circum-
stances wbpld /have Abesn entitled to
the whole contract But it will have
to build "a plant to panufacture armor
plate And Feaufa other patents equal
and have it's product meet the navy's
tests. 1t agreed to. give bond for full
fillment Of the contract, but the ele-
ment Of uncertainty, made much of
by the Carnegie and Bethlehem COM
panies, induced the secretary to
place contracts with all three compa-
pies, giving. the Midyale 5000 tons
and the other two bidders 5000 tons
each.
Tie decision is very distastefu1 to
the old armor plate manufacturers
who have had a monopoly, and did
not bid against each other, as they
are both controlled by the steel trust.
ltThis action insures another aEmor
plate plant not IN the trust, and
| breaks UP the old monopoly which

WASHINGTON, Nov. flames
D. Richardson, erstwhile democratic
leader in the house Of representatives,

Royal Order Of Scotland in America,
a day or two ago, he was elevated to
the highest Masonic position in the
world, and is the ranking man in ev-

sitting on a throne not greatly unlike
that Of a king or emperor he will

hand to Masonic business.
In addition, he may live in a pala-

OLDEST CONVICT FREED AT LAST
Martin Gill Had Served Twenty Nine
Years at Sing Sing for Murder.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Through the
Manhattan college, Martin Gill; who
was sentenced to life Imprisonment in
Sing Sing prison over twenty nine
years ago for killing a man in a sa-
loon brawl in this city, has been par
doned by Governor Odell. Brother
jerome went to Sing Sing yesterday
and brought Gill, who. is now 81
years old, back to New York on a
train which REACHED here early in the
afternoon : .-.
Gill Zhad spent more years in. Sing
Sing than any other convict, and
when he was told he was free he
could. scarcely grasp the. warden
meanings Even after he had exchang-
ed his stripes for the plain black pris-
on-made- suit Sgiten- to 5iischarged
prisoners, he acted as man might
in a dream. All the way to New York
he nestled close to the side of Brother
Jerome, gazing in silent wonder at
the sights
~ tilS Se1ltTdl SCdClOn the
crowds seemed greatly to confuse the
old man and, he followed his benefac-
tor closely, as if in momentary terror
that he, might lose him in the shift
ing throng. Mr.. Jerome hurried Gir
to neighboring restaurant, where
| for the first time since 1874, the ole
man TASTED food other than the plair
prison fare. Oysters were what Gil
craved most and he got them, all he
| could eat.
! After the meal Brother Jerome ant
his charge boarded a street car anG
the old man had the first electric cal
ride of his life: The trolleys impress
sed him more than all the Other
changes since he last saw New York
and he was stin marveling abou
| them last night at the Manhattan
college, where he is being cared fol
| temporarily. 3

MAY ADVISE FREE TRADE.
Roosevelt Said to Want Trade Re
strictions With the Philippines
: Removed. -.i

WASHINGTON, = Nov, Pre- isl.
dent, Roosevelt has been looking Into
the problem of Philippine commerce
and is believed to be ready to put in
to his annual message a strong recon-
mendation that the. tariff between
those islands and the United States
be either materially lowered or done
away with altogether. The small in
crease of trade last year, being in
line with Governor Tafts reeommen-
dation< for free trade between the
United States and the Philippines
appears to have convinced the admin
istration that proposition is neces-
sary.
1t is: not believed, however, that
the presidents recommendation will
have much effect. The stand patters
in congress are so firmly intrenched
that as Senator Culiem stated a few
days ago, there. will be no chance for
tariff legislation Of any sort before
the presidential election next fall.

Seven innings were played, the
conclusion of which the score read:
Amateurs, 6 Juniors, 5.
George Colgia was on the firing
line for Amateurs, with popular

well the first few innings and held
the opposing nine Gown to IA few
scratch hits. AS the game pro
crossed, however, the Jrs. touched
him up quite lively and this to
gether with couple of errors on
the part of the AS enabled them
to make five runs
For the Juniors, Henry Patout
toed the slab. Joe COrdova. as us
ual, did stunts behind the plate
PatOut made a bad beginning in
the box and was hit freely at the
start, but after the first inning

CHAMPIONSHIP PROSPECTS

New York. Aug 3l.-Possibly the base
bali cranks are counting their chickens
before the Matching in figuring how the
Boston Americans and Pittsburg Nation
ais will come out I'm the worlds cham
pionship series. Neither has won this
years respective pennant as yet. but the
outlook that each will do so is altogether
favorable, and anyway, speculation az
fords all sorts of interesting conjecture.
The teams, on paper and compared In
dividually, present a difficult question.
The fact Is that, i'm the absence OF any
previous test between the TWO teams,
baseba ll--especially In a short series-is
so largely determined by Unforeseen hap
penings that arise on the field that specu-
laton is useless. save as harmless oc-
cupation.
The pitching strength and batting
strength and fielding strength of the
two teams have been reviewed by diff
ferent critics, with unsatisfactory re-
suits. There has been tendency 10

a first baseman, but In reality there is
little disparity. The speed and clock-like
precision of the rest of the Boston in
fielders has been shown i'm this city 10y

Pittsburg trio appears to be one that
covers more ground than the Boston
trio.

side would probably oppose Young. Dmeen
