The British Land an Armed Force of Protect the Mosquito Chief. | | | at Colon, Papama, from Bluefields, Mos- quito territory, Nicaragua, and soon after she reached port it became known that her commander had landed and left there an armed force of eighty men, ten officers and three boats, with instructions to protect the Mosquito chief against any attempt upon the part of the Nicaraguan government to | break the treaty of 1830, securing to the former autonomy. Upon the demand of the British command- er, the state of siege or martial law w: withdrawn and the Cleopatra came to Colon in order to cable to the admiral in command of the British fleet at Jamaica for instruc- | tions. portly afterward the Cleopatra began coaling, and as soon as she received an a swer to the cable message sent to Jamaica, the warship hurriediy got up steam and put to sea again, returning to Bluefields. The report regarding the Cleopatra is regarded with keen interest in Washington, although so far this government has taken no step beyond keeping informed of the progress of events through reports from Mr. Braida, the United States consul at San Juan Del Norte. The point involved in the present dispute is not new, but because of the fact that Bluefields, only sixty miles distant from ireytown, the eastern terminus of the occupies a great strategic importance toward that pro- | Jeet, it may be that the United States will | become involved in the dispute in the future. | Certainly this is likely to be the case if the | British go beyond the point of asserting a protectorate and seek to secure possession of the place. When the British government relinquished to Nicaragua and Honduras her protectorate over the Mosquito country by the treaty of | 1860, it was with a condition that the Mo: | quito Indians should be permitte? to main- tain their own government. Under color of this article the British in times past have intervened between the Indians and Nica- ragua. But the United States government has al- ways insisted that the British had absolute- ly lost all claims to a protectorate and that Nicaragua held absolute sovereignty over the Mcsquito country. In recent years the native Mosquito population at has fallen into the hands of Jamaica ne- groes and other British subjects, who have directed the government and ‘established British forms law. The Nicaragua gov- ernment has been desirous of asserting its | sovereignty over the place, and it was prob- ably an attempt of this kind that caused the landing of the British troops. cee aneral Services Over Steele Mackaye Funeral services over the remains of Steele | Mackaye, the playwright. were held Yester- jay morning in All Souls’ Church at 20th (street and 4th avenue, New York.

The annual distribution of seeds by the Department of Agriculture in response to personal applications hzs beer discontinued for the present season, and hereafter dis- tribution will be made at the direction of the Congressmen who still have -.ertain quantities to their account. The’ department this year provided for more than 9,000,000 packages of seeds, two- thirds of which are the quota for Congress- menw only one-third being sent out inde- pendently by the department. The amount of seeds provided for distribution this year is said at the department to be 30 per cent Sreater than jast year. The increase, the department officials say, is due to the fact that the person who bad the charge of buying the seeds has practi- cal knowledge of the business, and to the hard times, which makes a government ob- ligation promptly acceptable. The Congressmen have profited by this, for they received 16,000 packages of- or- dinary seed and 1,500 packages of clover seed, and if they sent in their order before the 15th of F , they are entitled to an additional » packages. Secretary Morton. offsred. the Gongress- men this extra amount, which was taken out of the department's quota with a view | to getting orders in early, as he realized that if the seads were not distributed at the beginning cf the season they were! generally useless for all practical pur- poses. ree Wars.

The electric atmosphere of the American business world is all too apt to make our before they can even walk well. Ambition is a splendid thing in any young man. But he must not forget that, like fire and water, it makes a good. servant, but a poor master. Getting along too fast is just as injurious as getting along too slow. A young man between twenty and twenty-five must patient. I know patience is a diificult thing to cultivate,but it is among the first lessons we must learn in business. A good stock of patience, acquire] in exrly a man in good stead in later a handy thing to have and dra makes a splendid safety vaive. Because a young man, as he app hes twenty-tive, begins to see things more plainly than he did five years before, he mustn't’ get the idea that he is a business man titled to a man’s salary. tions, which he didn’t understand tive years before, now begin to look ciearer to him, it is because he is p: sitory state that divides the immature j ment and the ripening penetration 0 . He is simply be- ginning. From then he will grow, and his salary will grow as he grows. But Rome wasn’t built in a da nd a business man isn’t made in a night. As experience comes mature, and by the time the young man reaches thirty he will begin to realize ihat he didn’t know as much at twenty-five as he thought he did. And when he is ready to learn from others he will begin to grow wise. And when he reaches that state wh: he is willing to corcede that he hasn't a “corner’-on knowl- edge in this world he will be stepping out of the chrysalis of youth. cee ears, y upon, and dg, At La Paz, Bolivia, a sensation has been caused by the receipt of news to the effect that the notorious General Daza has been | murdered by a mob at Uriubt.
