A we'll known yachtsman Of this

that had the Frolic put 20 sea after
landing her Chinese passengers, In all
probability she never would have been
apprehended. In good breeze the
yacht can log nearly 10 knots, while
the revenue cutters cannot do this
even under forced draught. The

Gresham or Dexter sighted the Frolic

The fact that J. Pierpont Morgan
has just paid $4,000 for a letter, writ
ten by Andre. the famous spy calls
~ tention to some personal points.
Andre was the only man ever hanged

officer ever detected in the dirty work
of collusion with a traitor He de-
graded his rank TO become a fraud,
expecting his reward 10 be a major

expected similar commission. and
result was infamy for the latter and
gallows FOR the former. Andre at the
time Of his arrest was probably I'm
revcrie anticipating his success. and
thus lost presence Of mind. Had he
simply presented Arnold's pass he
would have gone on unmolested. but
this was no; done until suspicion had
been aroused. and then IL was too
late.
That pass Is among the Andre pa
pers in the state library at Albany.

but recall the fact that the destiny OF
America almost rested upon it All

fellow countrymen. is highly educated.

wealth by riotous living. he has mas

his father controls and is adding to the
fortune. Those who have come i'm con

| gates represent a world wide consti.
tuency OF earnest prOpagandists OF a
cause whose influence Is hardly second
10 that Of any other endeavor for So
cial betterment. At the informal as
sembling there was a representation
remarkable for it's extent and its dis
tinguished character. II may be said
TO include the highest civilization OF
the race, and the tone OF the addresses
were characteristic OF the spirit OF lofty
endeaYOr. The convention is broadly
international in it's composition, and
its deliberations took a wide and lib
eral scope. The work in which the
union is engaged is one that includes
humanity entire, without distinction OF

The desirability Of turning the pres
ent tide Of American emigration from
northwestern Canada, where it must
become alienated, into Alaska, where
II Will still remain American, was the
striking feature Of talk at a club
dinner at the hotel Vendome recently,
the speaker having been Hon. John G.
Brady, until recently governor Of that
territory. Ex-Gov. Brady, who occupied
official position in Alaska for nearly
30 years described that country as a
wonderfully rich grain-grOwing sec
tiOn, and he was not able to under
stand how the government can allow
Americans TO become Canadians by
the thousands every year without max
ing the slightest effort 20 preserve
their American citizenship as could
be done by inducing them to go TO
Alaska. The speaker professed to be
an eXpansionist in one sense, but he
wondered at the interest shown by
men high in political influence, in the
Philippines, when Alaska Is not only
a richer and a much more hahtable
country, but also even now takes far
more Of our exports. New England
men first opened up the riches Of the
great northwest more than 100 years
ago, and Mr.. Brady expressed the wish
that the wealthy and influential meu OF
this section would today show some-
thing Of the same broad gage, mental
-, that they did i'm olden times. He
cclared that when they shall become
a great relief to the present con-
gestion among the agricultural popu-
IatiOn OF the west will have been |
