NAMES OF THE DELEGATES TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION—PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS—CONGRESSMEN. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS. At large—C. F. Crocker and Irving M. Scott of San Francisco. First District—George F. Francis of Napa. Third District—H. A. Powell of Oakland. Sixth District—Elwood Cooper of Santa Barbara. Seventh District—Thomas Flint of San Benito. DELEGATES TO ST. LOUIS Delegates-at-large—John D. Spreckels and George A. Knight of San Francisco, Lionel A. Sheldon of Los Angeles and U. S. Grant of San Diego. First District—A. B. Lemmon of Santa Rosa and Daniel T. Cole of Sierra. Second District—Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento and Jacob Neff of Placer. Third District—Charles M. Belahaw of Contra Costa and William B. Parker of Solano. Fourth District—S. M. Shortridge and W. W. Montague of San Francisco. Fifth District—William Cluff of San second class as he wants, and it makes no difference in rank in society they come from. The second-class wife is married for a certain length of time, set out in the contract. Her dowry is also stated in the contract, and is usually paid at marriage. The law about the term of the marriage is elastic. A man may marry a woman for a minute, or a day, or a week, or a year, or a hundred years. The custom is, however, to marry her for ninety years. In addition to all the first and second class wives, a man can have all the concubines he chooses. It is no discredit to a woman to be a second class wife. If a man has got his quota of first class wives and happens to want a woman of distinction, her parents being willing, it is all right for her to go into his household as a second class wife. If a child is born after the term of the marriage expires, the woman being a short-term wife, the father takes it and maintains it. The divorce laws are liberal—for men. A man can divorce any of his wives at will. The law requires that he shall announce it publicly to her, and there shall be witnesses. A written divorce is not good, and isn't received even as evidence. There are two methods of administering law in Persia. There are two sets of laws. One relates to religion and its forms. Every detail is embodied in this law, and it is administered by the priests. The other set of laws relates to crimes against the person and against property. They are all crude, and the punishments are nearly all severe, but it takes a lot of evidence to convict. In one class of crimes women cannot be witnesses at all, and it takes four males besides the participants in the crime to prove a case. The convictions for this crime are therefore scarce. Ordinary thieving is not severely punished. The liberality of the marriage and divorce laws make crimes against chastity almost unheard of. Persia has no educational system. Private schools are conducted by the Mollahr (priests) for teaching the Koran and writing. The Shah maintains one college. This is in Teheran, the capital city, which has a population of about 210,000. The streets in Persian cities are all narrow—too narrow for carriages—and the people who don't go afoot go on horseback. Horses are almost the companions of their masters. They are possibly the finest breed of horses in the world; swift and enduring integrity of several. In the list of Republican States, with otherwise broken record of undeviating party support at Presidential elections, is Pennsylvania which the Democrats carried in 1856; Kansas which slinned off election candidates; and Ohio which carried by the Democratic binder in 1868. On that which been uniformly Democratize every election without a break, and were lost to the Democracy in the contested 1872 in consequence of the defection of Democratic "straight tons" opposed to the institution of Horace Greeley and B.Gratz-Ben Kentucky has been Democratize except one election, that of 1860, when the U-party, which ran John Bell for President got 66,000 votes in the Blue Grass Commonwealth, against 53,000 for Breckenridge Southern Democratic candidate, and 22 for Douglas, the Northern Democratic didae. Mr. Lincoln, though born in tucky, received in his native State was first a candidate for President only votes. The second time he ran he vowed 27,000. Immediately following the restructure period, when the suffrage was striated, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and South Carolina were carried by the publicans. Virginia never has been canceled by the Republican party in a national election, although the Harrison and McKinney came within a small fraction of voting the Old Dominion in 1888. It were the Union party, Bell and Everett, blender plurality of 300 votes in 1860; Vada has been carried once by the Democrats and once by the Silverites. Florida has been twice Republican. Wisconsin been carried by the Democrats in our national election, that of 1892,and Minnesota twice for Republicans, in 1864 and Indiana has gone Democratic in four national elections and Republican in six.

The local manager was wild with enthusiasm, as the company was to lay off the night, induced Miss Lewis to stay and the second night in his city. "What will you give me to play?" "The first $250 that comes in." Well, do you think it will compel the clever actress, who is also much fin de siècle in business matters? "Without a doubt," replied the locator. "Very good, then I will stay and make two hundred and fifty dollars will cover salaries, and that's all my expenses stay." Bright and early the local manager had out a dodger, telling his people that Lewis, adorned with a $20,000 dress, would appear in "As a Lady Glass," and stated further that only he and Langtry had ever played the part dear, delightful, naughty Lena came, and a $40 house (all men) came. The manager was in disarray. Dimmaculately in an evening dress, he boutoniere in his lap, he rapped door of the eccentric star's dressing room. "Come in." Perspiringly mopping his face, he to the smiling actress to kill. "Good gracious! You look awfully anything wrong, eh?" The house, gasped the manager. Ab, turning them away. So glad! No, $40. Heaven! I've done everything in my power pulling out of his pocket a specimen dodger. "Got 5,000 of them out easily put them in every house, office and the city. I looked after the work man." The lady slowly pulled off her jacket. "So the play, the beautiful Langtry great Lillian Lewis, and the $20,000 of diamonds could only draw a $40 man." Then her eyes fell on the dodger, gracious, man, look at that! "Where? What?" Why, don't you see, howled the dienne, "that you've advertised me pearing as 'Lona Despard,' wearing $20,000 diamond necklace and nothing Oh! Oh!!" You could have played marbles local manager's coat tail as he flew the box office. The notary $40 house quietly dismissed as a congregation benediction, and the very mad and the cal star was driven to her hotel in a car and put to bed. LIFE IN THE SHAH'S LAND.

The story of the assassination of the Shah has led to a very general demand for additional information about the great empire over which the strange monarch ruled with an iron hand, having absolute control not only over the property but the persons of his subjects, having the right to say to this man, "Give me your property," and to that man, "I will take your life," and not only saying it but doing it. The popular knowledge of Persia, it must be confessed, is pretty slender, chiefly because there is practically no trade between this country and the Shah's. Persia consumes some American goods, but these are bought from English merchants. Persia is in the southwestern part of Asia. It helps Afghanistan separate Russia in Asia from British India, and on its east is Arabia or Turkey in Asia. It is 973 miles north and south and 1042 east and west. It is estimated that it includes about 640,000 square miles of territory. Noah's ark stopped on Mount Ararat just north of it, and the Government existed centuries before Christ, and has been running ever since, having had many ups and downs in the mean time. Persia is interesting now for a great many reasons, but chiefly because its nine or ten millions of people are content to live under an absolute monarchy—more absolute than Russia's. So content are they that their ruler, the Shah, could leave the country and go junketing without even a sign or a fear of a revolution or the smallest sort of an assault on his authority. It is a country until recent years without any railroads at all, and even now with practically no railroad facilities. There is but one line of telegraph, and that is owned by Englishmen, and simply crosses the country because it is the most convenient route to British India. This line, it is true, has one or two short Persian branches. There are no manufacturing industries to speak of, and there is very little mining. The imports amount to but $25,000,000 a year, and the exports to but $15,000,000. The marriage relation and the laws governing it are a little strange. Polygamy is not universal, but there is no law against it. The law prescribes that a man may have four first-class wives. He marries these wives for all time. They are usually of the same social rank as himself. In addition to these first-class wives he can have as many "My men grow mutinous day by day; My men grow ghastly wan and weak." The stout mate thought of home, a spray Of salt washed his swarthy cheek 'What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say, If we sight naught but seat at dawn? "Why, you shall say at break of day: Sall on! sall on! sall on! and on!" They sailed, and sailed, as winds might blow Until at last the blanched mate said: "Why, now not even God would know Should I and all my men fall dead. These very winds forget their way For God from these dread seas is gone Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say —" He said: "Sall on! sall on! and on!" They sailed! They sailed! Then spake the mate: "This mad sea shows its teeth to night; He curts his lip, he lies in wait With lifted techs, as if to bite! Brave Adm'r'l, say but one good word— What shall we do when hope is gone?" The words leaped as a leaping sword: "Sail on! Sail on! Sail on! and on!" Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck And peered through darkness. Ab, that night Of all dark nights! And then a speck— A light! A light! A light! It grew, a starflight unfurled! It grew to be Time's burst of dawn. He gained a world: he gave that world Its grandest lesson: "On! sail on!" I Want Yer, Ma Honey, Yes I Do.

As the Republican party was established as a national organization in 1856, it celebrates this year the fortyth year of its existence. It has participated in ten national elections, and this year's Presidential contest will be the eleventh in which the two competitors for popular recognition have been the Democratic party, on the one side and the Republican on the other. Nine States of the Union and nine only have been uniformly Republican in all national contests for forty years. These States are Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska,(since its admission), New Hampshire, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island. They are entitled to recognition to what probably may be called the "sure Republican States," and the list would be a longer one but for some political mischances and fatalities which have impaired the gracious man, look at that: "Where? What!" "Why, don't you see," howled the dienne, "that you've told me pearcing as 'Lena Despard,' wearing $20,000 diamond necklace and nothing Oh! oh!" You could have played marbles local manager's coat tail as he flew the box office. The noisy $40 money quietly dismissed as a congregation benediction, and the very mad and oak star was driven to her hotel in a room and put to bed. IN CASE OF WAR FIRES BANKED ON ALL THE CRUST OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC SEA RON—UNCLE SAM MAY HER BRUSH WITH SPAIN OVER NEW YORK, May 9.—Admiral North A lautic squadron, lying at an oak lighthouse station at Tompkins L., is being kept in readiness to get up and steam out of the harbor at two notice. Fires are kept banked on therers and steam can be raised within an Never before have the ships of the fleet kept up to such a high standard of efficiency This statement is vouchered for by officers of the flagship New York, whoever are still kept in ignorance of the ing of it all. Admiral Bunce has been close watch on the drills on the ships, noting the efficiency of the officers. He has encouraged the commissioners, but has given his confidence so far as his plans or those of the Navy or President Cleveland corned. The drill has gone on day after at sea, and in port ordinary routine with the rifle and outlause during the watches, and with the big guns of the battery during the remainder of the Many a time during the night watchers and men of the ships have been to fight an imaginary battle. More cipher messages from War have arrived for the Admiral, but this port has not been disclosed. The other officers of the fleet scanned the Washington dispatch newspapers to learn if there were any rumored movement toward Cufters. Two more of the cruisers of the Atlantic squadron arrived in port making four ships now at anchor off house station at Tompkinsville. The Cincinnati and Montgomery came from Newton, Conn., where they been taking part in a local centennial bration.

NUMBER 29 SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS. A new vine disease has appeared among the Napa yineyards and is causing considerable concern. South Riverside has changed its name. It called itself Superior for a time, but that was unsatisfactory, and now it calls itself Corona. The Los Angeles Supervisors wasted $13 worth of time in examining the merits of the claim of the State Loan and Trust Company for a rebate of 13 cents, based on an error in the assessment of taxes. The board decided that thirteen was an unlucky number and rejected the claim. Chairman Harrity of the Democratic National Committee has written a letter to each member of the committee in which he says that as Chicago has not kept her pledge to the National Committee, it is time to consider the probability of the convention being held in some other city. In this letter Harrity calls attention to the fact that Chicago had raised only $10,000 of the $40,000 promised when it was selected as the place for holding the convention. There seems to be a probability that Chicago could not or would not raise any more money, and it was desirable therefore to look around for another location. The San Bernardino Supervisors have before them a novel proposition in the contemplated dissolving of the school district at Yucaipa, in that county. The county school superintendent, Miss M. M. Mogaean, has recommended to the board the abandoning of the district. The school attendance has fallen below five pupils, and in such cases the law provides that the district must go out of business, and the Supervisors will annex it to the adjoining districts. The property of the district will be sold, and its money divided among the adjacent districts. There are three other districts in Yucaipa valley. The census for the Yucaipa district gives it 20 children of school age, but a "school row" exists, and some of the people who should be patrons will not send their children to school. Miss Lulu Brooks has just closed her term of school there, which was in every way satisfactory, but the directors in power are not in harmony with the rest of the district. Judge Marbro of Kentucky was standing on the platform of the Big Four station at Immediately following the reconponment period, when the suffrage was realized, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina were carried by the Renais. Virginia never has been carried Republican party in a national election although the Harrison and Morton game within a small fraction of carrying Old Dominion in 1888. It went for nation party, Ball and Everett, by the plurality of 300 votes in 1860. Nehas been carried once by the Demond once by the Silverites. Florida has gone Democratic in four national and Republican in six. There was normal election in Texas in 1865. THE "JAY" MANAGER USTLING ABILITY PUT HIM IN AN BARRASSING PREDICAMENT. Lillian Lewis's recent short tour with the South she played in one of the first $250 that comes in." Well, do you think it will come in?" The clever actress, who is also very de single in business matters. Without a doubt," replied the local art very good, then, I will stay and risk it. A hundred and fifty dollars will cover my money, and that's all my expenses if I right and early the local manager hustled dodger, telling his people that Lillian adorned with a $20,000 diamond face, would appear in "As a Looking" and stated further that only Lewis dangry had ever played the part of the delightful, naughty Lena. Night and a $40 house (all men) came with the manager was in dispair. Dressed accutely in an evening dress, a huge anniere in his lapel, he rapped on the of the eccentric star's dressing room. Come in." Spiritingly mopping his face, he bowed smiling actress to kill. Good gracious! You look awfully hot, thing wrong, eh? The house," gasped the manager, thrilling them away. So glad!" No, $40." Heaven! We done everything in my power, see, long out of his pocket a specimen of the ear." Got 5,000 of them out early, and them in every house, office and store in city. I looked after the work myself." He lady slowly pulled off her gloves. The play, the beautiful Langtry, the Lillian Lewis, and the $20,000 worth amounts could only draw a $40 house." Her eyes fell on the dodger. "Good ous, man, look at that!" Where? What! Why, don't you see," howled the trageme," that you've advertised me as appong as 'Lena Despard,' wearing only a 1000 diamond necklace and nothing else. Oh! You could have played marbles on the manager's coat tail as he flew around box office. The noisy $40 house was as only dismissed as a congregation after diction, and the very mad and bysteriar was driven to her hotel in a carriage out to bed. IN CASE OF WAR. BANKED ON ALL THE CRUISERS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC SQUAD VETERANS MEET THIRTY YEARS AFTERWARD AND IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. J. H. Wyman of Chicago went to Newport News recently, and while waiting for a ferry boat a stranger, a man about Wyman's age, came up and shared his seat. They were waiting for the same boat. "You were in the Union army," said the stranger, glancing at a button on Wyman's lapel. "Where did you serve?" "I was in the First Wisconsin Heavy Artillery, and put in a good share of the time guarding the big bridge over the Green river in Kentucky," answered the Northerner. "You did! I twice helped to blow up that bridge, and was there when the third attempt, which you fellows stopped, was made. It was a black night in the winter when we went up the third time. There were only a few of us, but enough to do the work if it were done quickly, and we could pass through the Federal pickets. We reached a point 1,000 yards south of where we thought your picket line was, and I was sent forward alone to locate the line and find some place through which we could pass. I walked along freely until I thought I ought to take some care, and then I dropped to my hands and went that way for a while. It was so dark I could see absolutely nothing. All at once I struck a dry bush and snapped a stick under my knee at the same time. Then a rifle shot came from a picket at a point not twenty yards away and my right arm was broken by the ball. The fellow had fired at the noise and made a good shot. It alarmed the guard, and our third attempt to blow up the bridge was a failure. Were you there then? "Yes," said Wyman. "I am the man who shot you. I never saw you, but I heard the moving of the brush and the breaking of the twig. After I shot you walked straight to the right for about ten yards and then ran back for your command." "That I did exactly," said the Southerner. "We found your tracks in the sand the next day. I did not know I hit you. I am glad I did not kill you, and I'm mighty glad to see you." Then they shook hands and took up their journey together. Any one who has ever had an attack of inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice with Mr. J. A. Stumm, 230 Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortunate escape from a siege of that distressing aliment. Mr. Stumm is foreman of Merriam's confectionary establishment. Some months ago on leaving the heated room room to run across the street on an errand, he was caught out in the rain. The result was that when ready to go home that night he was unable to walk, owing to inflammatory rheumatism. He was taken home, and on arrival was placed in front of a good fire and thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's Pain Balm. During the evening and night he was repeatedly bathed with this liniment, and by morning was relieved of all rheumatic pains. He now takes especial pleasure in praising Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and always keeps a bottle of it in the house. For sale by Derge.

Judge Marbro of Kentucky was standing on the platform of the Big Four station at Fowler, Ind., Thursday evening when the Chicago limited piloted-in. In the parlor car sat a lady whom he thought he knew. He approached her and they recognized one another immediately. It was his wife, whom he married twenty years ago in England. She was the daughter of Lord Lindsey. Her father was so opposed to the marriage that he induced her to leave him about six months after they were married. She relented and decided to return to her husband, but was made to believe that Marbro was dead. Marbro, incensed at his wife's action, came to America. He was shortly afterward informed that she had secured a divorce from him. In a few months after their separation a son was born to Mrs. Marbro. He is now in the English navy. On the death of Lord Lindsey, Mrs. Marbro fell heir to $3,000,000 in estates and money. She has since married and has three children by the second union. She was en route to visit her sister in San Francisco. Judge Marbro is very wealthy. He is also married. He accompanied his wife of former years to Chicago. What action he will take regarding his right in the estate in England is not known. The Shah of Persia is a more absolute and less merciful ruler than the Czar of Russia, but Naar-Ed-Deen, who was murdered last week, was known as the most merciful Persian rulers. Two visits that he made to Europe helped to civilize him, as he was somewhat partial to Christian esteem. The introduction of reforms in Persia followed each of the visits. After one he permitted the introduction of the telegraph into his dominions. After the second, his subjects having cut down many of the poles and shot away the wires just to pass away the time, and having ignored the royal decrees and shot and out every time the damage was repaired, The Shah decreed that the first violation of the order to let things alone should be severely punished, and the second offense should be punished by burying the offender to the neck beside the pole interfered with and leaving him there to die. A traveler through Persia, speaking of this second order, said that when he passed through the kingdom following the telegraph lines he saw at the foot of every pole a human head. In some cases only the skull was left. On some there was some flesh; others were still fresher, and now then one would be seen not yet dead. This drastic treatment stopped interference with the property of the telegraph company. This particular telegraph line was from England, via Techaren, India. Under a less merciful monarch the offender probably would have been sliced up and the pieces hung on the wires. Beatrice Cameron, who off the stage is Susie Hademan Mansfield, did not take her part at San Bernardo last Thursday night, and behind her absence is the story of a special train out of town early in the evening and more excitement than local theatreical circles have recently known. Mrs.Mansfield left town by special train shortly before 6 o'clock,and was headed for the Oregon line about time the curtain rang up in the first set. It all came from a misunderstanding which worried the actress until she was almost ill when she special train left The Santa Fe depot. The Mansfields are defendants in a suit for $8,000 for a breach of contract,growing out of a real estate deal in Crafton some years ago.Mrs Lavina Hall IN CASE OF WAR. AGES BANKED ON ALL THE CRUISERS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON—UNCLE SAM MAY HAVE A BRUSH WITH SPAIN OVER CUBA. NEW YORK, May 9. Admiral Bunce's South Atlantic squadron, lying at anchor off lighthouse station at Tompkinsville, S. being kept in readiness to get up anchor steam out of the harbor at two hours' notice. Fires are kept banked on the cruisers and steam can be raised within an hour. Prior to have the ships of the fleet been up to such a high standard of efficiency, this statement is vouchered for by the officers of the flagship New York, who, however, are still kept in ignorance of the meanings of it all. Admiral Bunce has been keep-close watch on the drills on the different ships, noting the efficiency of the officers and men. He has encouraged the commanding officers, but has given his confidence to none other as his plans or those of the Secretary of Navy or President Cleveland are concerned. The drill has gone on day after day, and in port ordinary routine drills are the rifle and outlaws during the morning exercises, and with the big guns of the main battery during the remainder of the day. By a time during the night watches, officers and men of the ships have been aroused right an imaginary battle. More cipher messages from Washington are arrived for the Admiral, but their purpose has not been disclosed. The other officers of the fleet eagerly opened the Washington dispatches in the newspapers to learn if there was any news of rumored movement toward Cuban waters. Two more of the cruisers of the North Atlantic squadron arrived in port yesterday, bringing four ships now at anchor off the light-sea station at Tompkinsville. They were Cincinnati and Montgomery, and they came from Newton, Conn., where they have been taking part in a local centennial celebration. The four cruisers, with the battleship Indiana, the cruiser Newark, the ram Sabdin and the double turreted monitor Horror, now at the Brooklyn navy yard, make that ships now in port. It was said on the ship New York that the Katabbin will miss the squadron on the lower bay on the coast, the Indiana and the Newark on or about the 22d and the Terror about the 18th. The battleship Maine, now at Hampton Roads, is expected here within ten days. Long Beach narrowly escaped destruction by fire Thursday afternoon. The principal business thoroughfare of the town was the scene of wildest excitement, and the whole population joined in a tumult in its frantic effort to stay the progress of the flames. The fire started by the explosion of an oil stove in the building containing the postoffice. This structure was made memorable as the scene of the killing of Ellikan, in November, 1894. A strong wind was blowing and great masses of sparks and burning wood were hurled through the air to the roofs of the buildings beyond. It was soon apparent that it was impossible to save the building, and that a two story structure adjoining was also doomed. The citizens organized bucket companies and stationed themselves along the street and endeavored to prevent the communication of the fire by the sparks by throwing flour and salt on near-by roofs and wetting the mixture down. Assistance from Los Angeles was sacked for and a special train was sent down carrying a fire engine and three hose carts. Before this fire extinguisher arrived the conflagration was well under control. The postoffice block was totally destroyed. It was valued at $2,500. A sudden change of the wind enabled people to save the Lowe residence from total destruction and that building is only damaged to the extent of $1,000. While in Stockton, Cal., some time ago, Thos. F. Langan, of Los Banos, this State, was taken very severely with cramps and diarrhoea. He chanced to meet Mr. C. M. Carter, who was similarly afflicted. He says: "I told him of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and we went to the Holden Drug Store and procured a bottle of it. It gave Mr. Carter prompt relief and I can vouch for its having cured me." For sale by Derge. Whooping Cough. There is no danger from this disease when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given. It liquefies the tough mucus and aids its expectoration. It also lessens the severity and frequency of paroxysms of coughing, and insures a speedy recovery. There is not the least danger in giving the remedy to children or babies, as it contains no injurious substance. For sale by Derge. Harness at cost.

Beatrice Cameron, who off the stage is Susie Hademade Mansfield, did not take her part at San Bernardino last Thursday night, and behind her absence is the story of a special train out of town early in the evening and more excitement than local theatre circles have recently known. Mrs. Mansfield left town by special train shortly before 6 o'clock, and was headed for the Oregon line about the time the curtain rang up in the first act. It all came from a misunderstanding which worried the actress until she was almost ill when the special train left the Santa Fe depot. The Mansfields are defendants in a suit for $8,000 for a breach of contract, growing out of a real estate deal in Crafton some years ago, Mrs. Lavina Hall of Redlands bringing the suit. The Mansfields claim that they were "cinched" in the deal, and let the property go for the mortgage which stood against it, leaving Mrs. Hall out of the account to the extent of the amount sued for Mrs. Mansfield was served with the summons in San Francisco three weeks ago, but for some reason her husband was not. When he arrived in San Bernardino the papers were served on him. The Mansfields at once took fright, not recognizing that it was the same suit, but supposing it to be a new one. A lawyer was consulted, who said the only way for Mrs. Mansfield to escape was to leave town. The special was chartered and she was off. Late that evening the attorney discovered that it was the summons in the original suit, and a telegram caught the actress in Los Angeles, where she awaited her husband and the company. Fighting with champagne bottles as a beginner, and finishing with knives, a dozen or so of tars of the United States gun boat Petrel whipped twice their weight in Britishers at Shanghai shortly before she sailed for San Francisco, where she is now at anchor. The row was caused by the big British cruiser Spartan throwing its search light on the Petrel in such a manner that it was interpreted as an insult. Captain Emory wrote a curt note to the commander of the Spartan and in return received a letter of apology. The next day eight or ten of Petrel's seamen were seated in an upper room of a saloon, when twenty of the Spartan's men entered the bar-room. The Yankees were drinking and singing patriotic songs and the biggest Englishman in the intruding crew suggested that they throw the Yankees through the windows. The British tars started up the stairs, but none of them reached the top. The door above was suddenly opened and through it came a shower of glasses and cases of champagne which had been stored in the little room. When everything that could be had had been utilized as a weapon, the American sailors came flying down the stairs andthe battle became a hand to hand conflict. Knives were drawn and used freely and the English forces were badly cut up. When they were finally routed half a dozen of their men lay bleeding on the floor. The British Consul subsequently held an official inquiry into the matter and the court decided against the Spartan's crew.
