which he Gavebaout was to operate to
wrest somai TERRITORY from the feeble
hands OF SPAIN. Into this conspiracy
he drew Rlennerhassett, the wealthy
young Irishman, who had established
himself on the island In the Ohio River
below Parkersburg which bears his
name, and .pnd9pbtedly. Gen. Wilkinson,
who commanded the United States
forces at Natchez, was an accomplice
in the scheme. Upon events connected
with this conspiracy is based Edward
Everett Hale's famous story of "a Man
without Poultry" President Jeffer-
son, who vindietively hated Burr, was
kept well informed as to his operations
and in the mood to actively interfere
with them when the time became ripe,
which it did in 1905, when Jefferson
issued a proclamation against Burr.
who was finally arrested and brought
to Richmond for trial for high treason.
Tho the jury refused to convict Burr
his scheme was blasted.
The Victory Mt New Orleans.
The British expedition against New
Orleans was also based upon this dis
content and the dissatisfact ion of the
French at being transferred to the
United States. The British hopeu that
by capturing New Orleans they could
make another Canada in the Missis-
sippi Valley, and connecting it with
the Canada of the st. Lawrence Valley,
hem in the United States upon the At
lantic coast. The. vigorous action of
Andrew Jackson alone prevented this.
He appealed to the settlers in Tennes-
see and Kentucky to prevent their gate
way passing again into the hands OF
hostile power. and tho he met at New
Orleans with all sorts of opposition and
every obstacle that could be placed in
his way by the disaffected people, he
gathered there an army which, Jan.
s. 1915. inflicted upon the British force
the most decisive and humiliating. de-
feat the British army ever knew. This
settled permanently the question of the
control of the gateway of the Great
West to the sea.

PRAISES THE DREADNoUGHT.
Says She Has Fulfilled all
Expectations.

PORTSMOUTH. England. May 4.-The
colonial premiers were brought here yester-
day as guests Of the admiralty to get a
glimpse Of the empires navy. Ten battle
ships, including the Dreadnought; a score
of cruisers and thirty-seven torpedo boat
destroyers, all belonging to the home fleet,
assembled in these waters, were reviewed
by the visiting statesmen, who were espe-
cially interested in the newest -battleship.
In describing the Dreadnought the official
program of the days proceedings says:
"She has satisfied her creators and full
filled all anticipations. When so per cent
of her guns were first fired together, with a
total energy of 345, 1872 foot TONS some cups
and saucers were broken. All else with

f1cult problem Of preventing the blast Of one
gun from interfering with that of another
was found to have been satisfactorily
solved. She has completed a voyage of
10000 miles, and, without using all her
boiler power, maintained speed Of over
seventeen knots for 3,4O0 miles, and could
have done another thousand at the same
speed
