"CAR0LINE WAR" WAS SHORT
Border Trouble Between United States
and Canada Threatened for Time,
However, to Be Serious.

The Caroline war" was a border
trouble between the United States and
Canada, In which a few persons were
killed. but the trouble did not last
long In 1857 there was strong re-
publican spirit rife In parts of lower
Canada which eliminated In Decem-
Der, 1887, In an unsuccessful insurrec-
ton IN Toronto. The leaders of the
Instruction fed to the United States,
and cue Of them, a newspaper man
named Mackenzie, with % or 80 men,
Including few from the American
side who had Joined him, seized an Is
land In the Niagara river and set up
a provisional government. Their navy
consisted of q steamboat called the
Caroline, and one dark night while she
was lying on the American side party
of Canadians crossed the river and
burned the boat, killing several men
on board Of her.
The affair caused great Indignation.
President Van Buren, issued proclama-
tfons demanding observance of the neu-
trality laws. The New York militia
was called out and placed under com
mand of Gen. Winfield Scott. Presi-
dent Van Buren, characterized the
burning of the Caroline In American
waters as IAN outrage of most aggra-
waited character" and concluded by ask
ing congress for "such appropriations
as the circumstances in which our
country is thus Unexpectedly placed re-
Quire." The affair dragged along a
few years, but was finally settled with
out further bloodshed.

NEW RULES FOR
THE DRAFT ARMY
EACH OF NINE MILLION MEN
NOT YET CALLED OUT WILL
BE CLASSIFIED.
Every Registered Man Will Know His
Exact Position and Will Be Able
70 Arrange His Affairs Accord
ingly, II Is Announced.

WashingtOn.-A sweeping change in
the machinery of the selective draft,
based on division of the 100000 re-
manning registrants into five classes in
order OF their eligibility for military
service, was announced Sunday by Pro
yost Marshal General CrOwder. De
tails of the plan, which has been ap-
proved by President Wilson, are not
disclosed. II Is calculated, however, to
do away with virtually all the com
plicated machinery of the first draft
and TO make the operations of the local
boards hereafter little more than rub
Der stamp progress.
The campaign was worked out in
conferences with local and district
board officials and approved by the va
rious state authorities. It's chief feat
ures are that every registered man will
know his exact position and be able
to arrange his affairs accordingly and
that no man deemed necessary in any
important industry or needed at home
to support his family will be called
to the colors unless the military stu
alton Is desperate.

VICTIMS OF ANTILLES INSURED.
Dependents of Each of Men viii Be
Given $6,OOO

Washington.-Unde the provisions
of the new soldiers and sailors insur-
ance law, the treasury department has
announced that although the men lost
on the Inflated Antilles, sunk by a
German submarine. had not, in the
very nature of things, applied for gov
eminent insurance, it would be paid
to their families under the provisions
of the act.
As all hands in the military and ma
val service who persisted with the lost
Antilles came within the scope of the
new war insurance law, the treasury
department announced that they au
tomatically carried insurance to the
amount of $4,000 each.
This sum will be paid the families
of the dead soldiers and sailors in
monthly installments of $50 each over
period of twenty years. 1t is in adj
dition to compensations which will be
paid to widows, children and depend
ent mothers of the men. A widow, for
example, will be paid $50 insurance
and $50 compensation, a total of soc.
While the $50 insurance is a fiXsd
maximum. in cases where no appliea-
ton for insurance was made, the adj
ditional compensation varies from $50
for Il motherless dependent child to
maximum of $40 for all dependents.

RUSSIAN WARSH|PS
ARE BOTTLED Up
GORDON OF GERMAN WARCRAFT
BARS EGRE3S OF BATTLESHIPS
INTO GULF OF FINLAND.
outcIassed by Reason IT Superior Gun
Range, Brave Russians Give Desper-
ate Battle to Germans and Lose
One of Ships.

London.-Apparently, contingents OF
the Russian neet-in all about twenty
warships OF various classes-are bot
tied up In Moon sound, with Gordon
of German warcraft barring their
egress northward back into the Gulf
of Finland or to the south into the
Gulf Of Riga.
Brave, but outclassed by reason of
superior gun range and heavier ton
mage, the Russians gave battle to the
Germans and attempted to force back
the enemy armada off Oesel island.
Standing far outside the shell zone
of the Russians, however the guns OF
the German dreadnought sank the bat
tleship Sava, relic of the days be-
fore the Russo-Japan war - and so
badly damaged other units that the
Russian fotilla was forced to seek ref
uge In Moon sound-lying between
Moon island and the Esthonia coast.
Immediately seeing their advantage,
the Germans, according to latest Ger
man official communication, began in
tensive operations against Moon isl
and, hammering its eastern shore bat
teries until they were silenced, and
also attacking the Russian guns on
the mainland, putting them out of nc
ton. Moon island was captured and
the Russians took refuge inside the
sound. Thereupon the Germans threw
warships to the eastern part of kas- |
Sar bay, lying to the north of Moon |
island, barring exit from the northern |
entrance to Moon sound, and also
rushed contingents to the south of |
Moon island, apparently closing the
passage to the south in the Gulf of
Riga.
Already the Germans have attempt
I'd to attack from the north into Moon
sound, but the Russian guns have held
hem back successfully.

Stevenson Planned Much Work.

Considering Robert Louis Steven
sons short life, he wrote q great deal.
but he planned still more. A writer
who has been delving into his record
offers what he says is hitherto I'M
published list Of two novels and
tales" which Stevenson meant to
write, but never did. 1t runs thus:
The Indian Mutiny, Saranac Lake,
1888; Cannanmills, probably Saranac
Lake, 1888; The Rising Sun. at Sea
(Pacific), 1890; Dyce of Ythan, Samoa,
1902; The Shovels of Netwon French,
Samoa, 1892; The Beach Combers, Sa-
moa, 1893; Sophia Scarlet, Samoa,
1893; The Owl, Samoa, 1898; Death in
the Pot, Samoa, 1893; The Sleeper
Awakened, Samoa, 1898.
Stevenson planned other work not
IN the line of fiction. They were: A
of the Duke of Wellington,
q Biography of Hazlitt, history OF
the Indian Mutiny, an English Gram
mar, to be Illustrated from the Eng
lish Classics. He also began and, for
one reason or another, never complet-
ed these stories:
The Great North Road, Bourne
mouth. 1884; The Young Chevalier,
1898; Heathercat, Samoa, 1898; The
Samoa, 1898; st. Ives,
Samoa, 1894; Weir of Hermiston, Sa-

Cocoanut Rats.

Cocoanut palms grow luxuriantly In
many parts of the Philippine Islands
and there is a large demand for the
nuts among the people who live In the
cities and towns. The method of bring
ing them TO the market at Manila is
both simple and picturesque. The CO.
coanuts are brought to the banks of
the River Pasig, rough framework
of bamboo poles is constructed, and on
this the nuts are piled so as to form
raft. Three or four men then pole the
curious craft down stream into the city
OF Manilla.-philade.ph Record.
