A fleet Of British warShip5 now
cruising in the Mediterranean will take
a run over to United States ports dur
ing the summer. Great Britain is not at
all modest about blowing her own
horn over her new navy Our eN-
pcrts consider the British navy supe-
rior to any other In Europe, and John
Bull losses the compliment back by
adopting methods in vogue at Annapo-
lis for the new British naval school
1t is to be hoped that this mutual ad-
miration will not develop into rivalry
and end in a scrapping match to prove
which is the better fellow.

Viaduct Rail Stops Machine from
SeUentg-Foot Drop.

seouent sudden reversal of the machinery. an
automobile containing two and a woman,

nearly twenty feet of the iron railing and

knocked off and the two rear wheels Of the
automobile hung suspended over the edge.

BRINGS $4,000 SINGERS.
Paticia,s Storage Made Happy by
Feuthered ImmigTants.

Trilling sweet melodies Of their different lands
some $4,000 birds mostly songsters, kept the
steerage passengers Of the Hamburg liner Pa
tricia happy from the first day after it left
Dover until it reached port yesterday. There
were two hundred Russian Jews in the steerage,
fleeing from the i'll fated empire. and the little
songsters did much TO keep them happy and
hopeful during the voyage The lot is con-
signed to big wholesale dealer for the holidays
and comprises 10000 canaries brought from
Australia, the South Sea and some from Eng
land. OF this group nearly all are songsters.
From the rirae they were Grated until the
steamer had left Dover not a note came from
the little throats of the $4,000. The steerage
officer took several Of the children into his con-
hdence and told them about the little songsters.
They finally permitted to see them and
tried every childish ruse TO make them sing.
But the entire lot seemed TO be disconsolate.
They hid their pretty heads in fneir threats and
refused to be cornforted.
Toward noon Of the second day after the
Patricia had left Dover she struck a terrific
gale and had to lay to for several hours. When
the storm was at its height the entire lot broke
out in song and from that moment until within
few hours before the Patricia reached the bar
there was music OF the sweetest variety in tie
steerage. Some Of the birds trilled al day long:
others broke out in the middle Of the night, and
II seemed as II their little Threats must burst.
None of tho Storage passengers enjoyed
tha songsters more than the Russian Jews.
Several Austrian families also took great delight
in the singing There were three thrushes in
the lot, and all three sang at once one after
II never did hear such melodious music COM
ing from a bird as welled UP from the threats
IF The tTarushes the steerage officer said. And
you can say there was never so happy a lot

DEVLIN POLICY SUIT.
Mutual Life Refuses to Pay 10000
to ReceiUer.
by Telegraph to The tribune. ]

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 1O-Janes T. Bradley. re-
ceiver of the defunct First National Bank Of
this city will bring suit against the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New-York in an effort to
secure the collection of policy for 100000
which that company held on the life of the late
Charles ]. Devlin.
The company says that the policy in question
is void because semi premium payments
were not kept up. The face of the policy shows
that the premium payments were to be made
nually. but the company states that this
changed to semi annual payments at the
quest Of Mr.. Devlin although no change was
made on the face Of the policy. Mr. Bradley
knew nothing Of the change, and when the time
came for the payment of the annual premium
he made tender of the money. The company
refused to accept it saying that the last SENT
annual payment had not been made and that the
policy had lapsed for this reason.
Mr. Devlin left life insurance policies aggre-
eating 100000. which Were made over to the re-
ceiver Of the First National Bank for the benefit
of his creditors.

FINAL STRUGGLE NEARER
BL0oDSHED IN CAPITAL.
Russian Popular Leader arrested
General Strike Imminent.

The arrest of one of the leaders of the
workmen at St. Petersburg and sharp
fight between strikers and police added
two elements Of danger to the situation
in Russia. There are signs that Count
Witte is losing his hold upon the classes
which stand for good order. His retire
ment, it is believed, would be the signal
for open war between the reactionary
and revolutionary factions.
\ rumor is current at Warsaw that the
garrison of the citadel has mutinied. Sol
diers headed a revolutionary procession,
and their comrades refused to obey orders
to fire on them.
