to the United States. While he was in
Washington, during the close of his last
visit to this country, he witnessed the most
soul-stirring scene of his whole career. 1t
was in December, 1850, while Jenny Lind
was making her triumphant tour through
the United States. She gave one of her
concerts in the great national hall at Wash
ington and Payne occupied front seat. Her
audience had been entranced by the rend-
ton of her lovely melodies, "Casta Diva"
the Flute Song" the "Bird Song and the
Greeting to America" when she sud
denly turned to where Payne was seated
and sang Home, Sweet Home" with such
feeling and pathos that the audience was
moved with excitement and enthusiasm.
Payne was thrilled with rapture at this I'M
expected and enviable compliment Again,
in 1851, he returned to Tunis as American
Consul His following words show that he
experienced mingling of unusual pleasure
and sorrow "How often have | been in
the heart of Paris, Berlin, London, or some
other city and have heard persons singing
or hand-organs playing Home, Sweet
Home, without having shilling to buy
myself the next meal or place to lay my
head! The world has literally sung my
song until every heart is familiar with its
melody, yet have been a wanderer from
my boyhood. My country has turned me
ruthlessly from office and in my old age

other time he rode pony from Florida to
Boston. Though just boy at the time, the
imagination that has helped him in his news
paper career was even then budding. AT
every stop he told a different story as to
his destination. This indulgence in fiction
brought him close to grief one night when
a man who had heard his story the previous
evening, tried to line it up with the one he
was then telling. AS result Harve was
suspected of having stolen his mount, but
he was able to satisfy the suspicious strang-
er of his honesty.
That is one of the fine things about Par
sons. His is the type in which honesty
stands out plainly. He is honest with him
self, as we'll as with other people, and that
is tlculty that is likely to make him real
success as a police officer.
But however great may be his success, he
will die disappointed man. That Oregon
horse may have been acting as an agent OF
destiny when it smashed his legs and ribs
and untitled him physically for everything
but the newspaper career to which he
turned as a last resort, but that horse
PLAYED whaley with Harve's ambitions.
Maybe though, the horse was part Spanish.
Anyway, it kept Parsons out of the regular
army The horse smashed him the day the
Maine was blown up. He had made all his
plans to enlist in the United States army as
a cavalryman. AT that time his ambition
had not risen above position as top ser
geant in the horse marines. A short time
ago he told the writer that he would never
recover from the disappointment due to his
inability to get in the army, and he hates
the sight or thought of an Oregon horse to
this day. He is too modest to give that
horse credit for giving Topeka popu

BAYONNE, July 23.-The guards and strikers who engaged in battle here yesterday continued the fight all night in a manner similar to that Of the European belligerents. Snipcrs from both sides made use of the dark ness to try to pick each other off and the scene was a perfect reproduction of what battle at night in Europe might be. The rioting continued throughout the day today and six more people were wounded. The con- ditions have become intense and the lawlessness promises to continue for still longer period.

SUNRISE DREDGING co.
 FILES A BIG SUIT Claims Fifty Thousand Dollars For Damages Against American
 Dredge Company.

Yesterday with Deputy Clerk Weav- CT in Seward L. V. Ray filed suit for the Sunrise Dredging company against the American Dredge Building & Construction company and asks for judgment in the sum of $572OO. The chief members of the Sunrise Dredg- ing Company are Charles E. Heron and Dr. T. P. Barnes, who have been operating a dredge this season on Sixnile creek. The complaint states that they bought dredge from the American Dredge Building & Con- struction company and paid down twenty-two thousand dollars on it. 1t also claims that they spent four thou sand dollars to bring in the dredge and twelve hundred dollars for wages for the Construction companyS crew. In addition to this they claim thirty thousand dollars damages alleged to have been suffered by them by the failure of the dredge to operate in the manner said to have been provided for in the contract. The plaintiffs claim that the dredge was unable to perform the work allotted to it and that it was defective in various re- spects. The plaintiff company in short, alleges in its complaint that the defendant herein has wholly fail ed, neglected and refused to comply and fulfill the terms and conditions of the contract"
 Ben Bernard, the president of the defendant company, was here some time ago and is now in Nome. Mr. Heron has been in Seward for the past few days engaged in matters connected with the filing of the suit.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-Pro- lessor Golden of the University of Washington who has concluded a study of the archives at Petrograd, which occupied a year, announces that he has discovered that Russia sold Alaska to the United States because of the fear that if gold were discover ed in the territory Americans would rush into it and take it anyhow as they took California. Professor Golden also states that the documents show that Russia would have sold the territory for smaller price if necessary to retain Americas friend ship.

Owing to the great war and the loss of maritime trade this is not regarded as an indication that the canal will not be a paying undertaking. Much greater returns from the investment are expected when commercial mat ters adjust themselves after the war
