cANoNcAET.

This IS the story of savage chief
tain who could not forget wrong, and
who, at the cost OF his own life,
avenged the evil wreaked by the white
men upon his father.
Miantonomoh, as an earlier article
Of this series told, was sachem OF
the Narragansett tribes. He wasproud
to be known as the white mans friend.
He gave pledges of loyalty to the
New England coloIists and trusted the
VOWS the colonists made in retrun,
Then Uncas, The great Michigan chief,
became his enemy. Uncas was more
useful to the white men than Man
tonomoh. So the New Englanders sac
riaced the trustful sachem, giving him
over to the Mohegans for execution.
When Miantonomoh was slain, the
Narragansetts sought to punish the
Mohegans for his death, but again the
English settlers interfered to help
Uncas.

Special Cable to The Tribune.

Special Cable to The Tribune.
PARIS, July 2O.-Clause Casimir-
Perier, son of the late president of the
republic, is at the head Of an undertak-
ing which, if carried ont, should be of
extreme Importance to French shipping
and to the world s shipping. The won
der is that the scheme has never yet
been taken up seriously, 1t is one for
making Brest the main European
harbor for transatlantic traffic.
The natural advantages OF Brest s
position are obvious. The port is the
nearest European point to the whole of
America, northern. central and south"
ern. It's natural roadstead is magnlfl-
cent one, and could be made fof ten
times more use than is now made OF
it. If French shipping summons the
energy to work Brest properly, the re-
suits may be far reaching for the rest
Of Europe.
II is certain for instance that nine
tenths Of the North American traffic
for the continent of Europe, and prac-
tically all the traffic from Central and
South America, could be diverted via
Brest, II Brest were made the French

For the time being Brest is entirely
asleep, except for the naval arsenal,
and the railroad service from Brest to
Paris is worse than asleep, The dis
tance is just Ss7 miles, and the one
