Washington, D. c., April 24.-The
second extraordinary honor in his life
has come to Commander Victor Blue,
Q. s. N. The new secretary of the
navy, Josephus Daniels, has appointed
this South Carolina seaman of distin-
guished military ancestry to the posi-
ton of chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, post in importance second only
20 the secretaryship of the navy. II
carries with it the rank of rear ad-
miral.
The firstSextraordinary honor came
during the war with Spain. Blue was
then lieutenant in command of the
gunboat Suwanee. AS the result of
his daring journey overland through
Cuban wilderness and hostile Span
ish soldiery, he found the Spanish
fleet in Santiago harbor, and the in
formation he brought back to Admir-
al Sampson was the basis of opera
tions which led to the extinction of
Spanish rule in the western hemis-
phere.
A HAZARDOUS JOURNEY.
This journey Blue took was one OF
the most hazardous IN the history
Of American military and naval opera
tons. Having volunteered and taken
the commission of Admiral Sampson,
the young lieutenant, in full uniform
and side arms, was put ashore and
left to his own resources. at Asser-
ederos, IS miles from Santiago har-
Dor The odds were that on his 10
miles journey he would be either
killed or captured, but if captured
in uniform he could not be killed
as a SPY. He was prepared to take
the other chances.
over mountains and through jun
giles he made his way in a wide detour
toward Santiago. On the second
morning he found himself on a hill
which overlooked Santiago harboT.
There, before him, lay the Spanish
feet OF four armored cruisers and two
! destroyers, basking in the morning
sunlight.

Senator Lewis declared that Mex

WAS ONCE POWERFUL.
Referring to the United States SEN
ate in the days of Douglas, Trumbull,
Webster and Clay, compared with
the present day estimate, Senator
Lewis said:
In those days, the United States
senate, in the influencing opinion of
the American citizen, was the most
powerful legislative body in the world,
but in affecting the market rates of
stock speculation it was of little con.
sideration, as it should have been.
The reverse is seen in the present
I day. In matters of finance and stock
market gambling, the United States
/ senate is the most potent in its least
expression of legislation, of all tri-
bunals. But such has been its course
in later days that in the influencing
of the political opinions of the citi-
zen, the United States senate of to-
! day is the least potent of any legisIa-
tive body in the world.

DIED WITH HIS ATTACKER
Jaguar, at Least, Had tho Satisfaction
of Killing His Foe Before He
Succumbed.

After we struck the main river we
passed many long sandbars and on one
of these Felipe's ever rowing eyes dis
covered a tiger asleep, says writer IN
the Outlook. The jaguar lay stretched
out on his belly, his nose on his paws,
the water almost laving the cruel tai
ons of his front feet. We were about
fifty yards away when we first sight
ed him and | raised the rife to fire.
The canoe rocked a trife and / low
cred the repeater, raising 1t again al
most Immediately, but Felipe seized
my hand. saying:
Don't shoot, senior, the tiger Ia
dead"
The remarkable intuition Of Felipe
proved correct, as 1t had on many
trip into the jungle, but when l asked
him how he knew, he merely replied
that the tiger looked like he was dead.
We landed yard from the jaguar and
saw, crushed in the powerful teeth, the
body of a snake, something like the
water moccasin of the lower Mississip-
nj river. The fangs Of the snake were
imbedded in the tigers jaw and the
reptiles body was cut completely IN
twain. 1t was as dead as the creature
it had killed, though neither had been
dead more than twenty-four hours.
According to Felipe, the tiger had
come down to the stream to drink and
as the great round head lowered to the
water the snake had sent home the
deadly poison. According to Felipes
also, jaguar never runs when he can
fight, and the result lay before US.
