hind the schedule time.
The entrance into the harbor was
witnessed by thousands of people from
Bellingham and surrounding country
from the heights and wharyes around
the water front. Shortly after mid
night the fleet rounded Cape Fattery
and entered the Straight of Juan Del
Fuca.
Ships Distributed Among Ports.
Steaming eastward it passed be-
tween the f1r-lined shores of America
and British Columbia guided by Pilot
Herbert F. Beecher, son of the famous
Brooklyn preacher, Henry Ward
Beecher, as far as Port Angeles,
where on a signal from the flagship
the Louisiana, Virginia and Missouri
left the line and turned into Port An
geles.
Continuing to a point opposite Port
Townsend, the Illinois, Kearsarge,
Wisconsin and Nebraska turned south
ward past the land Notifications at
Fort Worden. The Illinois and Kear-
sarge entered and anchored in the
harbor at Port Townsend, while the
Wisconsin, Nebraska and Kentucky

among the many wooded islands Of
the San Juan archipelago into Bell
ingham channel, skirted the southern
shores OF Lummi island, passed Com
mercial point in single file and
dropped anchor in front of Belling-

Mantle cartridges, fired from CONNER

SENATE ADOPTS CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE REPORT.
MANY CHANGES MADE
increase IN Vacation Period and Pro.
vision for Payment Of Expenses Of
Railway Mali Clerks Eliminated by
Committee.

Washington, May PA complete
agreement was reached today by the
conference on the p~ostoffce a%ppropria-
ton bill and the report was agreed to
in the senate.
The most important Of the amend
ments that had been in dispute were
settled as follows:
An appropriation of 1921 300 was au-
thorized for the promotion of postof-
fee clerks from the fifth to the sixth
grade; the provision for leaves Of alb
n OF 80 days annually to employees
of first and second class p%ostof1ces
and other Offices having city delivery
service was dropped, but the house
provision eliminating Sundays and
holidays from the calculations in the
Is days authorized by existing law
Wis retained. y
The senate provision in regard to
Weighing Of the malls to determine
compensation to be received by the
railroads for mail transported was
agreed to-. The average delivery
weight Is to be ascertained by actual
Weighing of the mails for Is {
sive days to begin at such time as the
postmaster general may determine al.
ter June 30 next.
The appropriation Of $4,000 for
payment of substitute letter carriers,
who hold themselves in readiness for
calls, but are not actually employed
was strickenaout s5
No Expense Money Allowed.
The provision for the payment Of
expenses MOTTO exceed 81 a day to
railway mail clerks, while away from
the terminals where they resided, was
eliminated by the fact that it would
cost the government 81, O00, 900 a year.
The %conferees said they believed this
amendment to be just, but the postal
deficit was now toossgreat to permit
action at this time.
The ocean mail subvention proyi-
sion was retained, and to carry it into
force the appropriation for the trans
portation Of foreign mails was in
creased from $3,35s, 1862 to $4,46s, 682.
The amendment to prohibit the pub
licatton Of incendiary or inflammatory
articles was further amended by the
c%onferees SO that the new provision
Of law will be al follows:
And the term Indecent within the
intent Of this section shall include
matter Of a character tending to in
cite arson, murder or assassination"

Chief Of Police Talgo stated last
night when shown the above that it
was his belief that Hill was arrested
on information concerning the burg
larry Of the w. j. Adams store sent
out by him to police officers all over
the northwest.
As a detailed description Of every
article stolen is contained in the IN.
formation sent out he is confident that
the man arrested vas trying to dis
pose Of some Of the goods stolen
from Adams store.
Owing to the fact that the man was
arrested in Butte too late to get a

Office, Chief Talgo has not been Off

poets a message today.

Professional Interest,

A one legged beggar for years had
his station against certain lamp
post in New York. Supported by
crutchcs. he offered to the passcrsby
such triAes as shoe laces, pencils and
collar buttons. Benevolent Mr..
White was among his regular pa
irons, many of whom frequently
gave without asking for his ware in
return.
One evening about II o'clock Mr..
White was walking back from din
ner party and. coming up behind
the mcadicant, was considerably
startled to see him unstraDping his
supposedly missing leg, preparatory
to going home
"Well, my friend" said the "en-
tleman, Il should think You void
get very stiff indeed being bound up
like that all day"
The rascal looked at him kccnly
for a moment. Then he said,

ENGLISH SWORDS.
They Go Through Sixty or sevsnt,
Processes In the MAKING,

In the first place, remarked the
sword king as we walked through
his big London factory, we make
10000 swords a year and hope to
60 on making more in spite of all
the peace conferences in the world.
You must know that all our steel
comes from Sheffield in fourteen
foot lengths, each one and half
inches wide.
Every first class sword takes ten
days to make and goes through six
ty or seventy different processes. 1t
is then tested by being screwed into
a kind of toy cannon and brought
down flat with great force on a
steel table, which is covered with a
wire cage in case of any accident.
After the surface has been proved
the back and edge are struck
against small block of oak, the
final test being that of bending and
the Toledo proof of thrusting
against solid iron.
The regulation sword for an in
fantry officer costs 81 As. Cavalry
swords are much more expensive,
the regulation weapon even for
troopers in the hussar regiments
costing fG. Hussar officers also wear
full dress mameluke scimiters at
Il? l2s. each and must possess court
swords, with hits of cut steel, which
usually cost ego.
The Dragons sword costs as
much as IS los, although the high
ly ornamented weapons worn BY
generals and admirals of the fleet
cost but G. TO fS each.
The same price is paid for the
weighty claymores used in all high
land regiments. But the Scottish
officer Of expensive tastes may pay
from geo to ESQ for his dirk if he
desires one set with real cairn-
germs.
OF course presentation swords
run into lot Of money. Some time
ago We had an order from the for
eign Office for a sword for q dusk,
monarch.
The pattern Of the blade was spe-
cially designed and inscribed. The
scabbard was OF fshskin, mounted
with % carat gold, and the weapon
cost ESQ. Many swords costing
over fl00. however, are made for
foreign officers, and a superb weap-
on, ornamented with ivory, gold.
silver and precious stones, which
was recently ordered for the king
Of Siam, cost no less than f750.-
