with French feet Of superior force.
A French ship of "a guns, being
dismasted, sheered off towed by a
powerful frigate and supported by
two large ships Of the line.
The Agamemnon, though only a
sixty-four, stood out boldly after the
retiring enemy, and Nelson's mancu-
vers were so skillful that he all but
destroyed the crippled Frenchman and
kept the whole hostile squadron at
bay, without mourning any serious
loss. The injured ship, with one of
her consorts, was easily captured q
few hours afterwards, and had the
admiral followed Nelson's advice the
whole French feet would have been
brought to action, and have probably
met a complete defeat.
In the winter of 1895 Nelson was
employed in cutting off the supplies
of the French army on the Italian
seaboard. Soon after this he became
a commodore; he was then SO years
old and before long he had again per-
formed one of those great feats of
daring and skill which ordinary com
manders would deem impossible.
Spain, drawn into her old alliance
with France, had declared war in
1896, and On February 13, 1897, a

June win out, war or no war.
Four French soldiers were married
on the first of June to their sweet

There were two ceremonies: one in
Germany and the other in France.
The grooms and their best men Sc

the altar IN Germany, and the brides
marched to the wedding march, hun
dreds of miles away down in France,
and were full Of bushes and beauty

Soon there will be as many Greeks

July 10.-Judge Thomas Burk, president of the New Chamber of Commerce, explained today that the resolution recently adopted by the chamber in regard to the water front strike situation advocated the .open shop, but did not question the right of unions to organize. The reso- lution was adopted at meeting of the chambers board of trustees and then submitted in a referendum to it's 1900 members. It has been ratified by 9S 6-10 per cent of the members.
 The impression has been given out the chambers resolution took the ground that unions should not be recognized. This erroneous idea was gained by many of those who heard the discussion Of the waterfront strike at the Commercial Club rooms We'd nesday evening
