The story of the Servian Jewels must
recall to the former Empress Eugene
her own experiences when the waves
first began to dash about her throne
She determined to sell the greater part
of her jewels. in hope to do something
to save the dynasty, says the ST. James
Gazette.
Publicity had to be avoided, and a
market was not to be found in Europe,
newly thrilled by the horrors Of Sedan
The Empress Looked to the East for a
market. An Englishman was on his
way home for a holiday. A telegram
at Bombay awaited him from one of
the greatest European financial houses
and informed him of the determination
of the Empress. The difficulty had

AMERICAN SHIPPING.
w ! ess,:: ass :,

w HILE it is now probable that no effort will be
\NI made in Congress to enact comprehensive
w bill for the promotion of the American mer-
chant marine engaged in foreign commerce. until after
the report of commission be appointed nvest-
gate the whole subject there good prospect OF the
passage OF the Frye BILL provsng for the extension of
our coastwise shipping laws the trade of the Philip
pines. The attainment of that much of justice for
American shipping would be the more encouraging be-
cause it has been opposed almost vigorously as the
ship subsidy bill itself.
Among the elements of opposition there are two de-
serving of special notice. One of these is made up
mainly of the cordage manufacturers of New England
and the other is found, strangely enough in the Mari
time Association OF the Port of New York" The COM
bnation of these two forces in antagonism
designed to promote the carrying of American com
merce in American ships will help the public to under
stand why it is that for long time the struggle for
due need of assistance in the work of up
building our ocean merchant fleets has been made in
vain.
The plea of the cordage made not long ago
by the president of the Plymouth Cordage Company.
and was to the effect that there is no American ship
ping adapted available for this Philippine trade
The trade referred is that between the Philip
pines and the ports of the Atlantic Coast 1t seems he
took no account of trade with Pacific Coast ports; or if
he did, he treated something antagonstc to that of
the Atlantic ports and therefore, in his judgment not
deserving of promotion
In reviewing these statements w. L. Marvin author
of "The American Merchant Marine points out that the
cordage was mistaken to the facts there being
among American ships available for trade between the
Philippines and Atlantic ports thirty-one steamers
all sizes ranging from to 5000 register
and in addition than hundred sailing vessels Mr.
Marvin goes say it may be asked why these ships
engaged in the Philippine trade present and
answers: For much the same reason why before the
Spanish war; there American steamers in the
trade between Atlantic Coast and Hawaii and Porto
Rico Foreigners. firmly intrenched in the business
would have met the first American with sharp
reduction in rates, to be continued until the Yankees
had been driven out of the traffic"
So much for the opposition of the cordaee men. AS

for that manifest in the Maritime Association of the
Port of New York, it to be due almost wholly
to the foreign element in the membership of the
cial recently said:
"It is a source of deep and constant humiliation that
there should exist in New York to-day active work
ing commercial body, large proportion of whose
bers is composed OF enemies of American ship
ping interests and openly boasts of it. Imagine mari
time association exchange in London constantly
throwing obstacles i'll the way of Great Britans mari
time interests, in Hamburg aboring increasingly
to promote American commerce against that of the
German Empire How long would either be tolerated."
We have thus revelation that measure designed to
promote great American interest in the Pacific op
posed by narrow sectional feeling in New England
and foreign influence in New York. Fortunately it
the combination will be able defeat the
BILL for, have said, all reports from Washington
tend to the conclusion that the will be duly
enacted by Congress at this session.

successful. The jewels were sold to
a prince who esteemed them the more

been trouble, no doubt, had the matter
been known at the India office. but the

The Plateau Valley Stockman in Its
last issue speaks of time coming
when that section ofMesa county will
ask for its release from Mesa county
to form "a county by itself. The DO
sition of the Stockman is correct
one. There would, in onr Judgment.
be very little. if any. objection to
such plan. There is a vast territory
comprised in the Plateau section which
is OF sufficient extent to form county
At present it is isolated from the coun-
ty seat and the business which now
comes from there would continue to
come rs this oity grows. as it must
grow in the future, to be the com-
mercial metropolis of all western Col
orado. The cost of maintenance of
that section, because of its position.
is greater than any income from taxes
which this county may ever expect to
receive. 1t would be greater salts
faction to the people of that section to
have county seat more accessible
than it is at present. The formation
of such county in the future is in
evitable. and the Stockman can feel
assured, if the Sentinel can feel the
public's pulse correctly. that there
will be no opposition from this section
of the country. And this conclusion
is reached for the welfare of that
whole region, which seems to be en-
titled to what it asks.
