IMAGINE AGE GIVES FLAVOR
That Seems the Only Explanation as
TO Why Fresh Nuts Are never
Served on Shipboard.

Served on Shippoaru.
whence do all the old nuts come,
and where do they go?" was the ques-
ton put TO New York Times re-
porter by a broker who had just re-
turned from his semi-annul trip to
Europe.
ION my many voyages across the At
lantic and In the eastern seas, the
broker went on to say, Il have never
seen fresh nuts on the dining tables
which were laden with all the delica-
cies Of the season. The only person
] ever met who had seen fresh nuts
was a grizzled quartermaster, VINO
looked old enough TO have sailed the
raging main with Paul Jones. He
said tersely:
1--we seen 'em wunst. On the Tan
1ong Pagar pier at Singapore In
sacks, but they never come aboard
the ship
"Fellow-passengers with whom 1
dave discussed the problem were OF
the opinion that the steamship com
panies had some big cave where all
nuts were stored for few decades un-
I'll they had aged.
Capt. Pritchard, the retired COM
modore of the Cunard line, once told
me that the island of Tobago, where
Robinson Crusoe lived, was the clear
Ing house for nuts, and the companies
sent them there in sacks TO be cx-
changed after they had been ahoat
for three years. This was corrobo-
rated by Capt Arthur P. Mills OF the
American liner Philadelphia, who said
that an old shipmate of his, Capt.
Ben Brails, had carved his initials on
Brazil nut and put it back on the
dish while his ship was crossing the
North sea, and got the same nut on
another vessel four years later in the
Straits of Shimenoseki, japan. This
had such an effect Oh the mind OF
Skipper Brails that he marked all
kinds of nuts with his initials and the
date and wrote letters TO all his old
shipmates requesting them not to
crack any of his marked nuts If they
met them on their voyages.
Veteran stewards, when asked why
the companies do not put fresh nuts or
board their ships, say that perhaps the
companies are afraid they will dis
agree with the passengers.

Of peoples is purely defensive measure.
"And so of the question of territorial
integrity, for a living nation must have
place to live in. Save
as to boundary disputes, which ever since
the nation was born we have submitted
to arbitration, it is not TO be presumed
that either of the other contracting
powers would any more ask us TO arbi-
trate, as between ourselves and them,
our title to lands occupied by us, than
We could ask them to arbitrate then
title to their respective possessions.
Language could not make
il more clear that the obligation of these
treaties is TO arbitrate claims of right
which one nation has against the other
not assaults, whether they be vi ct
armis or insidiously directed against the
measures we have adopted to preserve
our national peace and safety"
The secretary declared that one of the
great advantages Of the treaties is the
substitution of q carefully defined juris-
diction for the vague and indefinite
terms of existing treaties, a jurisdiction
under which our honor or vital interests
cannot be imperiled unless indeed we
assert them against another nations
rights.
It was believed to be impossible. he
said, to meet the public demand for an
unlimited judicial settlement of interna-
tional differences, and TO make any adj
vance beyond the present treaties with
out recognizing the power Of the Senate
to pass upon the questions to be arbi-
trated through q special agreement in
each case. II was therefore necessary
TO devise 3 plan under which the scone
Of the arbitration jurisdiction should be
so clearly and accurately defined as to
preclude any real dangers of having
pressed upon us for arbitration that
class of questions, the fear OF which had
been the underlying motives for the
Senate's reluctance to bind itself for the
future and against which danger we are
protected in the exception in the exist
ing treaties by the loose phrases ''na-
tional honor" vital interests" and sim
dependence" which mean whatever any
particular nation involved declares them
to mean Said the secretary. ut was
believed that the solution Of this problem
lay in reserving to the Senate its power
over the special agreements of aTbitra-
ZION anu ~ limiting the aEDllfdi llfi~-
diction to iusticiable claims OF right,
thus making it highly probable that the
Senate would ever be called upon to APP
prove a special agreement made by the
president with foreign power which
would not clearly fall within the provi-
sions of the treaty. This improbability
was further reduced BIZ the provision of
Joint commission to decide upon the ar
durability Of questions There is moth
ing in the treaty as to how the Ameri-
can members of the commission shall be
appointed; that being matter of do
nestle concern, provision of that kind
was essential The president is will
ing, and always has been willing. and
the Senate may so provide, that they
shall be nominated by the president and

NO HELP ASKED BY AMERICANS.
Scout Cruiser Chester Completes Mis-

er Chester, which was sent from Malta
to Tripoli by the state department for
the avowed purpose of ascertaining the
extent of the cholera outbreak has COM
pleted her mission and is on her way to

he stood in no need of help and rather
than ieopardide the health of the ships

cholera. He viii await orders there.
Although the state department insists
that the sole purpose Of the Chester's
visit TO Tripoli was to prefer help in
case the American consul or Americans
IN that port were in danger from cholera,
it is regarded as probable that Com
mander Decker acquired precise informa.
