The New York had a particularly severe

instantly Second officer Keys taking
turn about his body with line. jumped

the meantime secured a hold on the buoy.
Before the second officer could get to the
unfortunate man Comulisch lost his grasp
on the buoy and disappeared. The second
officer was then hauled on board

to make a seagull responsible for the strand
ing of the British cruiser Flora on Dec g.
in connection with which a court-martial is
proceeding here.
Captain Baker and Lieutenant Grant are
accused of stranding the Flora. Evidence
for the prosecution has been heard and
both the prisoners have made a statement
in defense. They affirm that by reckoning
they believed the cruiser was past Village
Point, near the scene OF the mishap.
The lookout was watching for a black
beacon with a white disc on the opposite
side of the channel. Captain Baker first
saw an object which he believed TO be this
but it turned out To be the Village Point
buoy, which was distorted in the fog. and
OH which a seaSull was sitting, giving the
appearance of white disc.
The accused denied neglect, but admitted
that default must be shown the result Of
the error made regarding the beacon which
caused the stranding OF the warship.

GREENLAND NOT FOR SALE
Canada Would Like to Get Hold
of the Island.

TORONTO, Jan. 1O.-According to the
Globe the Dominion government is about to
open negotiations for the purchase of
Greenland from Denmark. 1t is added that
the admission of Newfoundland into the
Canadian confederation has been prac-
tically decided upon.
1t is not believed here, however, that
these schemes have reached a practical
stage. The fact that the Globe is the
mouthpiece of the government leads to the
opinion that the federal authorities are
considering the propriety of making over
lures to Newfoundland and Denmark, al
though the question has not yet been seri-
ously discussed 1t is urged, however that
the purchase of Greenland would prevent
any repetition of the Alaskan award fasco
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 10.-Six years ago
negotiations were opened by the Canadian
government with Denmark for the pur-
chase of Greenland. They came to nothing

VATICAN IS DISPLEASED.
Does Not Like Action of Span
iards Regarding New Prelate.

ROME, Jan 10.-Vatican authorities are
greatly displeased because of the Spanish
demonstration against Monsignor Nozaleda
former Archbishop of Valencia. 1t is said
at the Vatican that the appointment was
intended to crafty the Spanish people, as
Archbishop Nozaleda was one Of Spain's
own prelates who was struck most severely
by the Spanish-American war and who
through that war lost the prominent posi-
ton which he held in the Philippines.
The Vatican now finds that the appoint
ment has caused general dissatisfaction,
and while some persons regard 1t as dis
pleasing to Americans, 1t has undoubtedly
failed to please the Spaniards.

HEROISM AND LOVE OF
COUNTRY.

1.-THE Government Of the United
States was organized solely for the
people of the United States. While it
was contemplated that this country
should become a refuge for the OPP
pressed of every land, who might be
1t to discharge the duties Of our citi-
tenship, and while We have always
iympathized with the people of every
aation in their struggles for self-gov-
,srnment, the government was not
created for career of political or civil
izing evangelization in foreign coun-
tries or among alien races. The most
.ficient work we can do in uplifting
The people of other countries is by the
Ielf-governing nation as an ideal to be
.mulated, model to be followed. The
general occupation of our citizens in
the arts of peace, or the absence of
arge military ornaments, tends to
hIpdll pau hOl phs SiSo4
courage, and for the truth of this /
'efer the young men of to-day to the
history of the Civil War. For fifty
7ears, with the exception of the war
With Mexico, this country had been at
peace, with a standing army most Of
the time of less than ten thousand
men. He who thinks that the nation
lad grown effeminate during that pc
7iod should read the casualty rolls Of
the armies on either side at Shiloh,
Antietam, Fredericksburg and Gettys-
,urg, at Stone River and Chickamanga.
[ would be the last man to pluck
single laurel from the crown Of any
one of the military heroes to whom
this country owes so much, but insist
that their most heroic deeds proceeded
infinitely more from devotion to the
country than from martial spirit"

PEPIJBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE.

The extravaganza Of the present adj
ministration is difficult matter for
its apologists to explain. First, there
is the deficit for the fiscal year 1894
of over Sal, 100000 staring them in the
face, which has reduced the available
cash balance in the United States
Treasury to the zero point, so that
Secretary Shaw will probably have to
again call on the banks for another
installment of the cash they hold and
on which they pay no interest. 1t is
all very we'll to call the payments for
the Panama Canal an extraordinary"
expense and so excuse the present con-
ditions. There are other expenses that
this administration has piled up that
are equally extraordinary that no ex-
cuses can palliate or gloss over.
Take the expenditures for the year
before the war with Spain, when the
Democrats were in power and the ap-
preparations made by the Republicans
for the present year, and the extrav-
agance Of the present administration
is at once apparent.
