Indeed the navy depart ment had been in advance in this mat ter, for through Captain Beehler, the officer in charge of the naval station at Key West, wireless communication navy department and Admiral Evans commanding the Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo, Cuba, and when Secre- tary Root later indicated the desira- bility of sending warships at once to the distressed island, it turned out that Admiral Evans had anticipated the di- rection and had started on torpedo boat destroyer, the swiftest vessel in the American fleet, for Kingston, or dering two of the battleships to follow as soon as they could.

try of it's production as an antiseptid application to wounds.
 Good claret has no keeping proper- ties at all; it soon becomes sour and develops a mold, Claret in fact, is the most delicate of wines and requires careful handling and careful bottling. Its delicate flavor is also easily spoiled, as by contact with tobscco smoke, which however, has no appreciable effect on the flavor of Sherry is also sharply distinguished from other wines by the fact that it can be drunk as an accompaniment to sweet dishes with out it's flavor being spoiled, or enjoyed even when smoking is indulged in. No one would think of drinking cham pagne, hook or claret in similar cir- cumstances. Champagne, on tho whole, keeps after it has been opened rather better that claret, owing most probably to be the preservative action of it's carbonic acid gas, but as cham pagne ceases to effervesce its stale and Uninteresting and soon turns sour. When such different characteristics between wines are easily noted by the ordinary observer it is reasonable to conclude that each wine must possess it's own distinct physiological qualities. --Pittsburg Dispatch.

BIG DIFFERENCES IN WINES.

Just as it is a profound mistake to regard wine as mere mixture of alcohol and water, so it is equally er- rouneous to assume that different wines possess identical properties. Alcohol part, the physiological effects of champagne, claret, hook, port or sherry show variations which can only be ascribed to certain subtle and different constituents in these wines which chemical analysis so far has failed to- elucidate with anything like completeness. Broadly, we know that for one thing the stimulating ethers vary considerably in amount in different wines and the, same to some extent may be said of the higher all ccAo!s.
 Sherry for example contains more of these stimulating ethers than any other wine, and probably for this reason it has proved to be a valuable stimulant in disease and especially so in the enfeebled nervous system of old persons. Good port is similarly valuable, but this value is somewhat discounted by the fact that it is com and lr &sfrlngent substances sherry las a mild laxative action, while port may have effects quite the reverse of this. The keeping properties of sherry whether it be of the light or heavy type, are ntorious; it never turns sour, grows moldly or loses it's delicate al- mond-like flavor. It may be kept for months in an open decanter without deteriorating. On the contrary, it inn proves, and the peculiar bouquet and flavor steadily develop. The reason for this is probably that sherry con- tains notable amount of aromatic substances which coupled with alcohol serve as antiseptics and preserve the wine against. unfayorable changes. This some support from the fact that sherry is frequently used in the coun-

 peated. His majesty would know what man like yourself, who is familiar with English society thinks of the women
 They, are good and pretty I ans wered briefly, wondering what the qualities of English women had to do with the case of my unconsecrated bishop.
 His majesty says that when he was in England he saw many beauti- full women I opened my eyes wider and wider, and ventured to ask, Was his majesty ever in England?'
 Certainly; I and my elder brother, Murad, accompanied our uncle, Sultan Abdul lAziz-heaven rest his soul-to England to visit Queen Victoria His majesty uttered these words scarcely above whisper, looking very serious ly and sadly at the floor. We were all silent for minute, in deference to the recollections of his uncle and brother awakened in his pious memory.
 "Then, however, he broke into a long speech, which Ibrahlm rendered quick ly into French.
 His majesty says that tall and fine officer was attached to his suite; very agreeable offieerJ His majesty fancies to have read or heard that this same officer fell like a brave soldier on the battlefield later When we were in England the officer ordered bottle of Scotch whisky and soda water to be placed on a little waiter in the ante- room and made speech to my brother and one on the sovereign virtue of this drink He also tried to convince us that 1t was impossible that the Koran should forbid its use When he found he could not persuade us he concluded by trusting that though we did not partake ourselves, we would not take it i'll if he did. Evidently the Sultan understands French perfectly, as Ibra- him Bey had no sooner ended the translation of one phrase than he be- gan another punctuating here and there with audible laughter.
 His majesty says that the officer often repeated these tactics At last, says his majesty, when my brother and I saw bottle after bottle of Scotch whisky disappear we said to ourselves: ''The officer is nice fellow and a fine soldier; he is our friend, and We are his friends. We are not doing our duty as friend if we don't tell him that he drinks too much So we remon- strated with him; and what was his answer? He gazed at us in amuse- ment, and then burst out laughing. "Is it possible that your royal high nesses think that drink too much of this whisky? What would your royal highnesses say if you could see how much many of the ladies in our best society drink?" And he laughed louder still. And now you excellency,' , concluded Ibrahm Bey, solemnly, what hfs majesty wishes to know from you is this-is 1t really true s&at English ladies drink?
 "T answered warmly that whatever may have been the case thirty or thirty or thirty-five years ago, his ma jesty might take my word for it that English ladies did not drink nowadays. His majesty's ironic smile departed. He looked grave as if meditating some great problem, and then said It gives me great plasure to hear YOU say so. You confirm my own view. Often since then l have asked myself,

and later arranged for two prominent and wealthy citizens to go on the bond asked for young Fairbanks appear ance. It Is said the defense will ask that the indictment be nolled because Fairbanks did not make the affidavit necessary to secure the license. Sher- if Voorhees, sent telegram to the sheriff of Clark county to-day, asking him to cause Fairbanks arrest.
 N. H. Fairbanks and Attorney Stew art learned that the indictment also included subornation. A newspaper man is said to have secured the li- lcense for young Fairbanks. The un- cle interviewed the newspaper man be- fore leaving for home and feels hope ful that the outcome will be all right. According to member of the grand jury, Fairbanks was the victim of un- due prominence, Others poorer and less important were being indicted and the juryman felt it unfair to in- dict them, and not a more prominent man, whose case had been the subject of much publicity.

HIGH PRICE OF WESTERN

With dry years the high prices will fall-but they will never again fall in the old level-this much is certain. The tide of immigration is too strong for that. The speculator may be dis appointed; the man who borrows heavily in order to buy at the high prices will be closed out as in the past.
 But the speculator is in the minority Speculation and heavily mortaging are not present in the land "boom' of to- day, as they were in the past Disas- ter can be horne with greater euuani- mity,
 The new land boom" is a more sem sible one than that of the sos. It is based on what seem to be permanent oonditions-or at least such situation as appeals to the farmer, as certain to continue. With farm produtcs bring ing 40 per cent more than five years ago. with rainfall in the West show ing year after year of abundance, with seekers for new homes knocking at the door, how can farmers fail to in- crease in price? The optimists says the rise in values will go on as rapidly for many years to come; the more cautions content themselves with the prediction that land will not be worth less than now Tho doubter can get no hearing and is not considered.-Review of Reviews.

Gould the English nation be what it

"Could the English nation be what it is if the women of England drank more than even as much as the men?" l am glad that your observations in London support my own theories His majesty then went into a long praise of English women, referring to the say ing non Angli, sed Angeli seized this alluslon as a drowning man reach es at a straw.
 sire I interrupted rising and lowing deeply, being copied by Ibra- him Bey, your majesty's mention of angels reminds me of heaven, and heaven reminds me of churches. and so I am brought bac.17 to the thought of that excellent man and most true and worthy servant and worthy ser want of your majesty, the Archbishop of Macedonia, whose consideration'-
 Here his majesty showed how well he understood French, as he would not let me go in, but broke in with, Cor tainly; but you would never mix up a bishop in our interesting conversation on English ladies. No, no. The time has not yet come to talk about your blshoa Leave it to me to choose the opportune moment. Of a surety our talk then will be as satisfactory as 1t has been interesting today Thereupon his majesty rose, and, with slight inclination of his head and a consoic- ious smile lowering around his lips and mouth, I was graciously dismissed.

AUDIENCE WITH SULTAN.
How the Sublime Porte Keeps Control

How the Sublime Porte Keeps Control
 of the Conversation.
 A diplomatlst recently accredited to the Sultan describes how he once secured an audience of his majesty and how he fared. His object was to obtain the confirmation of an already chosen archbishop to a Macedonian sec For weeks he was thwarted by officials of the court, and then for more weeks by the Sultan himself, who professed to be too busy to see him. However, at last he was really received, and this Is what happened: His majesty awaited mo in a small but richly furnished room. He stood in the uniforms of a Turkish colonel by a low sofa, with his gloved left hand on the hilt of his sword His rather long melancholy countenance was eurlously and subtly lighted by a sort of good humored latent smile Even in his dark and usually sad eyes the same strange laughter seemed to lie.. In them one could read either suppressed merriment or irony. Prob ably he was foretasting the humor of the diplomatic transaction which was to follow, and enjoying it quietly;
 T sat exactly opposite the Sultan, who took place alone on the sofa. About a yard away on his left the accomplished dragoman of the palace. Ibrahim Bey, occupied small chair, and on my left was my own dragoman. Looking me straight in the face, Abdul Hamid said couple of phrases in musical Turkish, speaking very low. Ibrahim Bey bowed low( made the Temenas and began to translate. This he did afresh each time the Sultan spoke, till at the end of the audience, he was quite weary with the gymnastic exercises. He began thus:
 His majesty commands me to say how much he regrets not having been able to receive you sooner It was a great annoyance to him, as he had a subject he particularly wished to dis cuss with you His majesty is pleased to see you, and hopes that you are ready to enter upon the subject I re- piled that I was deeply sensible of the honor conferred on me, the more so as my government had charged me to bring to the personal notice of his ma jesty a question of some importance. I was especially delighted to find his majesty so ready to enter upon de- tails. The Sultan bent his head slight ly toward me and murmured few words with sphinxlike smile. Be- fore his majesty begins to talk about that matter he wishes to know how long you were accredited to the court of St. James.
 "This seemed curious introduction to the decision of the archbishop in Macedonia question, but I replied that altogether I had been about seven years in London.
 Then you must be well acquainted with English society?
 T replied that in my modest way I thought I knew something of the Eng lish
 Very we'll! His majesty is most anxious to have opinion on English women
 'In spite om myself I cried out. What? and looked to my interpreter to see if Ibrahim Bey had translated alright, He nodded, and Ibrahim re-

PLEADED GUIL7Y.
So-CaIIed Prize Fight Cases Decided In
 New York.

New York, Jan. 16.-The so-called prize-fight cases, growing out of the fight between Jimmy Britt and Terry McGovern at Madison Square Garden several months ago, came to an abrupt end to-day, when plea of guilty was entered by all the fourteen defendants. They included Henry J. Pollock, the promoter of the fight, the two princi- pals and several others who were con- nected with the contest in an official way. Pollock was fined $1OO, with the alternative of thirty days in the city prison. Sentence was suspended in the case of Britt and McGovern, and all the other defendants were discharged on their own recognizance.
 The outcome of the case caused con- siderable surprise, as it was regarded as test of the anti-boxing law, and spirited defense was anticipated.
