VOYAGE OF FLEET
INTERESTS EUROPE
Englishman Says Trip Is
the Worlds Memorable
Feat.

LONDON, Dec H.-EUrope is showing
surprising interest in the great Ameri-
can armada's cruise from Hampton
Roads TO the California coast. H. Will
nm. an authority Of international rcpu-
tation, refers to II in the London Daily
Mail as voyage which will be ever
memorable in naval history"
The British press generally seemed
disposed TO take an unfriendly tone. re-
ferrlng to the cruise as "A wanton af-
front to japan and a specimen Of
American "bombast." Wilson, how
ever. discusses it very fairly.
Never before has so enormous a
porce attempted such an operation he
says. ''RojestyeRsl1y's fleet was in
every respect inferior to Evans com
mand, though tne number of ships in
the Russian Baltic feet was slightly
larger. The British Channel feet is
weak by comparison. The German high
sea fleet is left far behind.
The announcement has been made
that the voyage will be accomplished
under war conditions. But the fact
remains tnat in war Il would not be
possible to use central ports, and II is
upon neutral ports that Evans will de-
pend to do his COaling.
Another fact has to be noted. The
twenty-one golfers which viii supply
the feet are British, and under real
war conditions neutral assistance TO a
belligerent feet would not be permit
ted. The Japanese. in 1901. gave notice
that they would sink any neutral col
lier accompanying the Baltic fleet, and
they were perfectly within their rights
in so doing.
The feet will twice have TO pass
through the tropics. and the intense
heat may try the smokeless powder
which is very apt to be affected by high
temperatures.
The world will watch with interest
this great experiment Of a 15oOo-mile
cruise, essayed by what is practically
an entire navy

BMcO Steerer'S Trick

PurChasesQ Brass" Chain From Govern
nent Dead Letter Sale and CANDLES
That It's Cold, and 1t Is

Postofhce inspectors are looking for
certain person who yesterday executed
a clever 1im-aam game at the dead
letter sale On Ninth street
Several days this week the officials
of the department have been given
considerable trouble by a class Of ''un-
desirable citizens" who have congre-
gated in the rear of the badly crowded
store room and piled a series Of peculiar
transactions
Yesterday, during the sale OF the line
of cheap jewelry, as the catalogue prOp-
erfy describes it. as distinguished from
the better class, which lis sold under
another heading, one Of the undesirables
purchased a small package for nomi-
Dal price.
With the eagerness with which all the
packages are opened ne broke the seals,
and was soon dazzling before the eyes
Of the curious throng handsome brace
let, containing numerous bangles lie
declared that he believed the clerks had
made a mistake and put a gold article
in the cheap class.
A bystander, a partisan OF the Ad-
ministration. who has unlimited conf
dence in ell it's work, resented the soft
impeachment. and said it was surely
brass, or something just as cheap.
Film -Flammer Makes Bet.
The fim-dammer offered % wager SO
that It was gold. The hacker of tine Ad-
mlnistration quickly covered the bet.
Across the street went the disputants.
closely followed by several dozen curl
Gus individuals. A nearby jeweler made
a test. pronouncing the bracelet a gold
one. and the bangles to be made of s.
gold pieces.
The inspectors have discovered that
the bracelet was borrowed from a
secondhand dealer on the Avenue, but
the fellow who worked the clever ruse
has made good his escape.
The officials Of the department in
commenting on this case. declared that
the dead letter sales. as the department
was now forced TO conduct them. were a
source Of some embarrassment 10 them,
as the lottery features connected with
them made It possible for the light

RIP ARIA ROAD
DECEMBER |.
Lines Of 0. R. & N. VIII Be
Perfected Then Ready
for Operation

1t was definitely learned today that
preparations are being made by the
Q. r. & N. company to commence the
construction of the main pier of the
Clearwater bridge as soon as the wa
ter recedes sufficiently to allow the
work to be carried on advantageously.
On account of all of the work being
in the middle of the channel it is be-
lieved this construction will be start
ed early in July when conditions as
sure no further rise in the river and
from the time the equipment is In
stalled until the pier is completed is
expected to be about six weeks.
1t is also known the plans of the
company provide for the resumption
of tracklaying from Aifmota to Lewis
ton simultaneously with the work done
on the pier and by the time the pier
is completed the track will have been
laid to the north abutment of the
bridge.
This will enable the delivery of the
bridge material as soon as the pier
work is completed and with favorable
conditions it is expected the line will
be operated into Lewiston by De-
cember l.
The bridge material is now assem-
bled in the yards at Riparia and win
be brought to the bridge site in the
order to be used. 1t is estimated the
construction of the bridge will re-
quire about 80 days after the pier is
built.
The plans for the operation of the
new line from Riparia to Grangeville
are said to be the organization of
new company by the o. r. & N. and
N. p. interests which will establish
headquarters with necessary Offices
and shops in Lewiston.
The new company will construct the
union depot on Main street and will
absorb the terminal yards and i'm
provements to be made in the eastern
section of the city. The Northern Pa
cific trains from the Clearwater coun-
try and Spokane will come into Lew
iston over the new company's line
from Spalding and 1t is probable each
company will only maintain passenger
and freight departments in the city the
operating department being entirely
in the hands Of the. new organization.
Definite plans for the Improvement
of the outside yards and the new de-
pot are expected to be announced up
on the occasion of the visit Of Presi-
dent Elliott and party of the North
ern Pacific, which will be some time,
next week. On account Of these 1m-
provements being on the present hold

the improvements will be made by

in THE SPAN OF ONE LIFE.

Senator Morgan, or Alabama, who
VIII be buried tomorrow, died at the
age OF SO years. In possession of his
faculties until very shortly before his
death, his conscious observation goes
over the greater portion of his coun-
try's history He saw the winning of
the wars with the Indians, the tri-
umphs in Mexico, the shifting of pop
'ulation and power from the South to
the North, the beginning and the end
OF the Civil war, the reconstruction of
the Southern states, and the rise there
or an industry impossible in slavery
conditions.
He practically saw the beginning of
applied steam power. Every marvel
OF conquered electricity has come
within his maturer life. The world
upon which he looked out In the clos
Ing days was a new world Returning
to the methods of the year of his
birth would have seemed impossible
Butt the greatest change that has
4eome within the span of his existence
is the passing of the spirit of section
alism. Without the intense hatred of
the South for the North, and the
strong anger of the North against the
South. there never could have been
any war That feeling was, If posi-
BILE, intensified by the events that fol-
lowed the war. But time has healed
many of the wounds, and while
/. Southern men still hold they were
right in Their struggle or the confed-
eracy' they have met and learned to
: Know the men of the North. And in
) the interchange of converse there has
come better understanding, and a
securer peace.
Morgan has been loyal to the Union
! ever since the war. And he has found
that the best men of the North have
been loyal to his section. too. If there
remain any northumberland pos
Sibiy some few remain-they are leay-
ing the scene Of action. As they go
out they close forever the door of
hatred. the gate Of sectionalism. Thir-
" years ago men north of the Ohio
river REGARDED Morgan as a rebel; and
No regarded them as invaders. Now
