Collision of BattIeshIps.

While the battleship squadron, un-
der the command of Rear Admiral
r. d. Evans, was proceeding TO
sea on Sunday the battleship Kear-
sarge and Kentucky ran aground
In the lower New York harbor of the
west bank light. The Alabama and IL
llnois were following next In line and
before they could alter their course
the Alabama collided with the Ken
lucky, striking her glancing blow.
The Illinois just got clear of the
tangle and proceeded down the bay an
choring outside the bar with the flag
ship Maine. The accident took place
shortly after l p. m.
At 2:45 o'clock the Kearsarge and
Kentucky both were floated and start
ed for sea, accompanied by the Ala
bama The Kentucky, however, was
ordered back, and returned to Tomp-
kinsville where she anchored late In
the afternoon.
The Maine, Illinois. Alabama and
Kearsarge remained Off the bar until
5:25 O'Clock, when they weighed an
chor and proceeded to sea.

Retaliation and Colonial Preference.
The Morning Post Of London In
a long article discussing the fiscal
question, points out that retaliation
alone will be a practically useless
weapon against the United States and
other protectlonist countries To be
effective, the paper says, retaliation
must be combined with colonial pref
erence. It adds that with the help OF
Canada so cent duty on foreign
wheat would turn every wheat grower
In the Western part of the United
States into an opponent of the Dingley

writes as follows of the relations exist

the Poles: "They remain separate, Ike

though he is the master, is Of no conse-
Quence here. 1t is only necessary to OBJ
serve for the space of an hour from
some corner of the elegant dining room
of the hotel the behavior Of the Polish
society and the complete isolation OF
the Russian officers or officials. 1t Is
only necessary to be able to distinguish
the groups from one another-the Bal
tic nobility with their almost bourgeois
families, merchants from all the prin-
cipal countries, Russian functionaries
and Polish sOcety-and 1t will at once

IsTHMIAN CANAL EMPLOYMENT.
Civil Service Rules VIII Not Apply to
What Are Called Outside Men.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Civil service
rules and regulations will not here.
after apply, so far as the Isthmian
canal commission is concerned, to the
employment of what is termed In O
general way "outside men" that Is,
track layers, skilled laborers, foremen,
etc. To other classes OF employees,
stenographers, clerks, bookkeepers
and other inside men" the civil ser.
vice rules will continue to apply.
This determination was reached at
conference at the White House In
which, besides the president, Seore-
tary Taft, Chairman Shonts of the
Isthmian canal commission, John F.
Stevens, chief engineer Of the canal,
and Civil Service Commissioner Cooley
were the participants.
For a year there has been friction
between the canal commission and the
civil service commission as to the ap.
plication of the civil service laws and
regulations to employees on the canal
construction work. Both Chairman
Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens
maintained that they ought to have
authority to employ men whom they
needed without reference to the civil
service rules. In a measure they
have exercised that authority notwith.
standing the protests of the civil ser.
vice commission.
Last week a direct difference arose
between the two commissions that ap.
peared to be likely to result in an en-
barrassing condition of affairs. The
conference was by direction of the
president. Secretary Taft announced
the conclusions reached and added that
they were quite satisfactory to Com
missioner Cooley as we'll as to the
canal officials.

Free EXPRESS Business Cut off.

The express companies of the
country have decided to join with
the railroads in refusing to Issue
passes for the carrying of business free
of charge, Announcement to this ef-
feet was made at the office of the
Adams Express company in the fol-
lowing statement: "The action Of the
railroads in cutting off free business
has made 1t practically necessary for
the express companies to do likewise
Accordingly all the leading expresses
have issued orders that on and after
Jan. Is they will not carry any busi-
ness free of charge as a personal
courtesy to merchants or other patrons
or for any other reasons. They will
continue to exchange annual passes
with each other and with railroad
lines"

A FISH THAT FIGHTS.
The Aggressive and Iridescent Pls-
kat of Siam.

The Aggressive and Iridescent PIe-
kat of Siam.
So aggressive is the plakat, little
fish from Siam, that the entertainment
it affords has become national pas
time. The fishes are trained to go
through regular battles and are reared
artificially for the purpose, while the
license to exhibit them to the general
public is farmed out and brings large
amount of money into the royal Golfers.
They are kept in aquarlums built for
the purpose and fed upon the larvae Of
mosquitoes and every possible care
taken of them. When the fish is in a
quiet state, with the fms at rest, the
dull colOrs are not at all remarkable.
But if two are brought together or
within sight of each other, or even II
one sees its own image in looking
glass, the little creature becomes sud
denly excited.
The fins are raised, and the whole
colors of dazzling beauty, while the
protecting gill membrane, waving ike
a black frill round the throat, makes
grotesque the general appearance. In
this state of irritation 1t makes repeat
ed darts mt its real or reflected antago-
mist If two are placed together IN
q tank they rush at each other with the
utmost fury. The battle is kept on un-
til one is killed or put to fight but not
until they are entirely separated does
the victor shut his gaudy fins, that, like
flags of war. are never lowered until
peace has been declared.

PRIVATE COINAGE.
At One Time II Was Quite Common
In This Country.


The history of the issue of coins In
this country by private individuals and
companies would make very interest
ing book. When gold was struck in
North Carolina a man named Bechtler
started a mint of his own there, which
was abolished by law in 1S49 Half
eagles, quarter eagles and one dollar
pieces issued by him were largely cir
culated in the south and west AL
though of honest gold, they were about
2la per cent under value on an average.
About the same time Templeton Reid
coined gold in Georgia. He moved to
California in 1S49 and minted eagles
and twenty-five dollar pieces on con-
siderable scale. Many companies and
re6neries in California and elsewhere
made business Of striking gold coins
during the same period. Naturally
there was a great temptation to make
these coins under weight and OF In
ferior fineness. The Mormons in Utah
issued eagles, half eagles and double
eagles which bore on the diverse an
eye, with the legend, Holiness to the
Lord"
Quantities of twenty-five cent and
fifty cent gold pieces were likewise
manufactured at San Francisco, the
former containing only about six cents
worth of the metal and the latter
twelve cents worth. Years ago a lot
Of these were taken over to Germany
and circulated there, which elected a
formal diplomatic protest from that
government The private minting busi'
ness was finally stopped.
