To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Were the Bahama Islands ever in the
possession of the United States?
ARGUMENT.
ION two occasions in the Revolution the
Bahamas, or at least their principal island,
New Providence. were captured by the
Americans. In March, 1776, the feet under
Commodore Esek Hopkins cruised to the
south, the principal object being to stop
Lord Dunmore's depredations on American
in the fairway south of Hat
teras. In this cruise Commodore Hopkins
put in at the Bahamas and found New
Providence disposed to dispute his pres
ence. A landing party of 800 under COM
mand of Captain Samuel Nichols, of the
marines. carried the fort. OF this en-
gagement the historian of the Marine
Corps writes: ION this occasion, the first
that had ever occurred In the regular
American navy, the marines under Cap
tain Nichols behaved with a spirit and
steadiness that have distinguished the
corps from that hour down to the pres
possession not being consonant with the
object of the cruise as set forth in his
commission, Commodore Hopkins soon

der, and all the stores. AS hostages he
took Governor Brown and a number of
prominent citizens. After his Incident the
Bahamas seem to have reverted to their
former owners, the Lords Proprietors,

P. Rathbourne. In the twelve-gun ship
Providence, appeared off the Bahamas and
on January q New Providence a second
time fell before American prowess, this
time but twenty-five men being required
in the reduction of The works. In the
course of a few lays Captain Rathbourne
beat off the British sloop of war Grayton.
He in turn retired from his possession and
the Bahamas reverted TO the rule Of its
pirates and conchs 1t was not until 1888
that their ownership was definitely as

The platform adopted by the Democratic State Convention
is a pretty clever piece of work. It has seized upon the weak
snots in the Republican armor and hammered them. How much
sircer;tv lies behind the platform is a matter of speculation,
but the promoters of it may plausibly claim that they are en-
titled to belief and an opportunity to make good.
It will be more difficult to draft a satisfactory plank for
the Republican State Convention tomorrow. The artists who
are now engaged on that work will have a tckhsh time hand
ling the scandals of incompetence, absenteeisn and graft on the
mart of State officials, and the Excise plank is likely to be pro-
Idudive of wrangling and hard feeling.

A correspondent writing to one of the New York news

A correspondent writing to one Of the New York newspapers
scathine1v denounces cigarette smokers. For instance:
The cigarette smoker has not quite nerved himself to the
MONT of scratching his match on the baptsmal font o altar
rail Smoking in the vestry n choir loft is not yet considered
"qood form but things are fast working that way, and there
are few enough places where he has not already lett his mark.
The individual who, when dining with ladies, smokes cigar
cites between courses, or the monster who similarly ponutes the
.purity (f not the sancity) of a breakfast room with that vii
famous odor is, I believe. capable of almost any act OF hoggish
|selhshness Or inconsiderae indulgence.
IF these public nuisances would only kill themselves with
their cigarettes the punishment would most beautifully fit the
crime.
Apropos of this, it may be mentioned that District Attorney

Adrian H. Joline, President of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway, says that greedy politicians are responsible for
much of the ant-rairoad legislation. There may be some
truth in that. But neither Mr.. Johne nor any of the other
railroad magnates had a word to say against the greedy poll
so long as they were acting as the agents OF the
companies in obtaining franchises, special privileges and exemp-
tons from the taxing burden. Now that the game is played
out and the people are keeping their eyes very wide open the
politicians are, in some cases, going to the other extreme to
curry popular favor.

But Ireland's principal class of exports is not represented
in the Consular financial totals. They enrich the Emerald Isle
somewhat by their departure therefrom, but they have become a
chief asset of this country. Ireland's most admirable speciality,
of course, is her export of emigrants.-New York Times.
That's a nice friendly way of saying that they are leaving
their country for their country's good. Still, it might provoke
apt retort.

WALL STREET FURRY OVER
No Failures Resulted From the
Wild Decline Thursday.
Confidence Has Been Restored. and

Upward-Money 10 Easier.

New York, March 18.-Excitement
prevailed in the financial district
previous to the opening Of the stock
exchange Friday owing to the CON
sequences to be dreaded from the
slaughter Of prices Thursday.
A convulsive rebound In the open
ing prices for stocks showed the re-
suit Of protective measures adopted
over night. The first bouyant up
ward flight Of prices was immediate
ly taken advantage of to resume the
unloading Of stocks and prices be-
gan to crumble again In a manner
which revived the uneaslness prev
alent Thursday. Fluctuations were
very wild and scyerish for a time,
below the opening level, but with
out all of the opening gains being
sacrificed.
Buying was renewed on a large
scale all through the list when the
effectiveness of the support was
demonstrated. The news that the
clearing house sheets had all gone
through without any failures helped
to restore confidence. Before noon
such gains were recorded as to carry
prices above the previous level.
Trading by noon Appropriated
100000 shares. Business fell off
after midday with the advance In
call loans to Is per cent. Banks and
brokers generally reported an all
round demand for odd lots of the
better class Of securities by small |
investors. Call money declined to IL
