 "I had the honor of making the acquain- tance of the Star Spangled Banner before many of my critics were old enough to recgnize it If they met it in the street. and l would like to relieve these anxious people of any unnecessary labor by n- forming them that l am not in need of any missionary work whatever. l had the pleasure q few months ago of giving an order for 15,O00 Star Spangled Banners. and further, the pleasure of suggesting that these be put in the hands of F.

PUTS INTO HARBOR
 ONLY TO HIT ROCK
STEAMER TITAN WAS IN PERIL FROM FIRE AT SEA AND REACHED PORT ONLY BY DEs- PIRATE EFFORTS.

St. Johns. N. F.. March 25.-After being in peril from fire at sea and managing by desperate efforts b reach this port in midst of a gale and binding snow storm, the British freight steamer Titan struck submerged rock in entering the harbor late last night, had q hole torn in her hull and today lies fast on the beach where she was put to prevent sinking, The fire in the midships is still burning fercely. The Titan is in no serious danger on the beach but 1t Is probable that before the fire can be extingushed the midshlp hold will have to be flooded.
 It is believed that the greater portion of the cargo has either been burned or ruined by water.
 The Titan sailed from New YorK March IS for Manchester. Early yester- day she was reported afre off Sable is- land and endeavoring to make this port.
