Logan, January 20.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN-The writer
received an int resting letter from an
old friend of your paper, John ii.
Gibbs. in which he wished to be kind
ly remembered to all his old friends
and associates.
Elder Gibbs Is now laboring as a mis-
sionary in the Virginia conference In
the Southern States. He left home
during the springtime Of last year and
despite the fact that he has had many
difficulties to overcome and many
things happen to discourage him he
now feels comparatively well in body
and never better in spirit.
This Is remarkable in view Of the
fact that for considerable time after
his departure he suffered very much
from poor health and finally was com
PEELED to 60 to Washington, ID. G. and
there underwent surgical operation.

IF WAR SHOULD COME.
Speculation as to What Would Hap
pen tn Japan's Ally.

Prom the New York Sun
1t appears that the treaty Of offensive
and defensive alliance with Japan con-
tracted in 1895 cOnfers no benefit upon
Great Britain. So far as she is concerned
1T is superfuOus- II might. however
prove a very grave injury to Great
Britain If her people would permit It to
be executed in the event Of conflict be-
tween Japan and the United States. We
could not, Of course, make head against
the combined naval forces Of Japan and
Great Britain in the Pacific. or for that
matter in the Atlantic. and we might
therefore be deprived OF all our trans
marine dependencies. Such a loss would
be trivial. however. compared with that
TO which the British people would be sub
jeCted by being cut of from their prin-
cipal puTveyOT of food supplies They
would receive not an ounce of grain or
flour from the United States and we
should of course take measures to pre-
vent them from receiving such commodi-
ties from British North America. AS for
the relatively limited contribution of sucn
products from Argentina. that would be
liable 70 interruption at the hands Of our
cruisers and privateers. The result would
be that within three months the inhabit-
ants of Great Britain would be exposed
20 appalling suffering and their govern
ment would be compelled TO tear up the
treaty with Japan and under a threat Of
using the British fleets against her COM
pei the latter power 20 give back all Of
our iusular possessions.
In a word, Great Britain would be the
victim Of an attempt TO conform 10 Osten-
sible treaty obligations by cooperating
with Japan in a war against the United
States. The consequences would be too
obvious and too frightful for the British
people TO permit its government to incur
them

A number OF naval officers were swap

well, Jouett, in command Of the Mont

Louisiana OUT Of sight Of land. when one
morning about o'clock. while running
through d dense fog. he distinctly heard
q rooster crow as he was walking the
deck with the officer Of the midwatch
In his Inspection Of the vessel Jouett
had seen no poultry. and had reason
to believe that there was none on board.
However. fl was some moments before
the significance of the growing dawned
upon him. Turning 10 one Of the officers,
he asked
Are there an chickens on board?
" No. sir

mighty interested. when we swung up
north I distinctly heard a rooster crow.

engineer 70 give me all the steam he can

from its proud position.
Then the captured captain was curious
as to how he had been discovered.

that Philip found the entire army de-

After the civil war Michael V Sheridan
continued to act as aid to his famous
brother, With Gen. Philip, he joined the
campaign against the Arapahoes Chey-
ennes. Kiowas, and Comanches. which
lasted during the years 1868 and 1859. OF
this time. Gen. Michael V. Sheridan has
little TO say. He declares that there was
no lighting of any consequence. only Skin
miShing here and there, with one or two
minor engagements 1T was an interest
inE period. though" he says. The West
was just then coming into its own, and
when l went out there the great plains
were the homes of literally millions of
/ buffalo. 1t was a shame the way they
were slaughtered If a man wanted sim
ply fresh steak he would kill a buffalo:
or if steak were too frequent the men
would kill a noble animal just for the
sake of the hump. But the men who
cleared them off the worst were the hide
hunters from the East, men who killed
the animals just for their skins and left
the bodies to rot on the plains. In after
years when the bodies had decomposed
came other vandals, who gathered UP the
bones, and made other fortunes sending
the bones back TO the East to be turned
| into buttons, combs, and fertilizer
After this Gen Sheridan continued on
staff duty with his brother, from 1870 to
