QUITE A DIFFERENCE

Some Americans who are net att tracted to either faction iu Mexico do not see why the medi,ay- ing mediators at Niagara Falls should object to the landing of mu- niuons of war for the cousu,u- uOnalists at TamDtco, any mory than to the unloading of similar material for the use of HucrJa $ troops, at Puerto Mexico. They cannot perceive any justification for the distinction drawn, it is rc ported, by the representatives Of the South American powers inter- ested.
 Yet there is a material dl.rer- cuce. The understanding, when mediation was undertaken, wa- that as far as the United States could control the situation military conditions were to remain m- changed wLiIe the negotiations for @ peaceful settlement were iu progress. No advantage was to be sought or taken, in this interval by either side.
 Then Tampico was in the pos session of the federaIs. So was Puerto, Mexico. Both were open ports. The taking of Tampico by the coustitutionalists changed this state of things materially by giving the revoIutiOusts a port for recciv- ing arms and ammunition. but for this shifting of the military balance the United states was not resDou- sible Puerto Mexico remained lu the possession of Huerta's forces
 Now comes the chance taa, Huerta's gunboats may try to os- tablish partial blockade ot Tam pico aud stop the landing of mu- uitions of war there It is for the United States to say whether or not this Mexican naval activity shall be allowed, and this brings up a point which the A. B. C.. mediators may consider vital to tho future of their work. There is 10 denying that events have uu. squareIy before the President and Mr. Byrau another question O. grave significance.

Melancholy Fate of "The Whistler at

Melancholy Fate of "The Whistler at

 Among the many pen names of the past "The Whistler at the Flow" was he happtcst 1t was chosen by Alex ander Somerville, long since dead, who wrote the sweetest prose ever penned about tue fields aud woods and ham, lets and the beasts, birds, reptiles and people of Canada.
 ] gllmpscd hIm Once-a stupendous Scot, with long white hair hanging over uls shoulders and an expression of su- prcmc sadness on the noble face. But he had the clear blue eye of the Scot Ian eye that had an amber glint in 1t when he was reused.
 He was an eX-soldier, but he did not serve out his term of enlistment in the army; neither did he get an honorable discharge.
 Alexander Somerville was a private in one of the crack cavalry regiments of Great Britain and IreIand-I think it was the famous Scots Greys, but I am not sure. He must have been a magnificent looking soldier.
 At the time Or the great Chartist movement u England he was stationed with his regiment somewhere in the MilauIs. The Charusts were looked upon as am inr!pieut French revolution. Their meetings were forbidden, cOer- cIvo measures were undertaken, and tlfngs began to look bad. The Chartlsts honest. can't tell you what a Chart ist was. but be was, fancy, an ultra Liberal or Radical Of those days-de- cidpd tO hold a procession. The au- lhouues decided to prevent 1t, and bloody clash was billed for the next Sunday.
 The Scots Grcys were ordered to rough whct their sabers in preparation to resist the mob A sabcr so treated breaks bones and tears and bruises the flesh, but tr doesn't sink deep. It was a terrible order, and Alexander SOmer- vile. the future 'Whistler at the Flow" refused to obey He could not draw bis sword on his fellow countymen who were demanding liberty.
 A corp0ru's guard seized Private Alexander Somerville. He was tried for iusGU0rIiuauOn by a court martial and was sentenced to be logged and then dismissed from the army. He suffered fearful logging with the whole garrison and as many of the citizens as could see looking on-suf- lcrcd without a cry or a groan-Ond when the cruel brutal busineSs-a busi- ness that would have made Sitting Bull or Red Cloud miseTably ashamed was over he came out to this free land, lone. broken and melancholy man, to sing Of freedom among the free hills

Iavinn Rridae Floors.

The most interesting and dangerous looking stage in the construction of a suspension bridge is the building Of the floor, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Ia this work the builders have nothing to rest their work on and must build out each way from the towers, securing the aeor piece by piece to the heavy steel bars suspend ed from the main cables far above. The work is done with derricks that are equipped with booms long enough to reach out ahead of the finished structure and hold the girders sus- pended while they are being riveted in place. As each section of the floor Is completed the derricks are moved ahead and the construction of the next section is begun.
