Tucked away in the annals of the navy department at Washington is the hisiory of a two-and-a-halfyears' war with the United states began against France just 115 years ago. More than 50 sea tights, some of them as desperate as the American navy ever fought, took" place in the course of the hostilities. It* was a war worthy of much historical nonce, yet historians have neglected It because, as a war, it was unofficial. As early as 1790, French privateers began preying on American commerce. Edmund Randolph, secretary of state in 1794, formally protested to France against violation of treaty rights. France paid no attention to America. Yankee ships were seized; Yankee crews imprisoned, and Yankee commerce destroyed. May 4, 1798, congress responded to the New England demand for war, and ordered new ships for the American navy. Three weeks later, without a declaration of war, ships flyinor th? American flae were commis sioned to prey on French commerce. French oppression continued unaltered. Finally, July 7, 1798, congress took up the question of abrogating all French treaties. July 9, that was done and an official note sent to France. The next day, July 10, 1798, every American warship, already outfitted for battle, set sail from American ports and began the war which continued two and onehalf years, although never recognized as such by either nation. The first action was when the frigates Constellation and Delaware captured the French privateer Croyable, 14 guns, off the Delaware coast. It was rename the Retaliation and enrolled under the American colors. November 20, the French frigate I'lnsurgente retook the Retalia tlon. Almost the whole action of the war took place in the West Indies and adjacent waters. France maintained a squadron there and the French islands in the Carrlbean Sea. were favorite outfitting places for privateers. The American vessels reaped a harvest the first few months of the war. The French ships Sans Parell, Jaloux, Marsouln, La Bonaparte. Le Phenix, La Magicienne, La Bonaparte II, La Briliante, Le Bon Pere, Amour de la Partle and Tartufe were captured. Then France sent out heavier vessels to cope with the American frigates. The first real battle of the war took place February 9. 1799. near St. Kltts, a harbor In the Lesser Antilees. The American frigate Constellation. 48 guns, uapiain 1 nomas iruxiuu, captured the French frigate I'lnsurgente, 40 guns, Captain Barreault, after half a day's fierce fighting. The Constellation sighted the I'lnsurgente about noon and immediately gave chase. A furious tropical storm separated the two ships and carried away the Frenchman's main topmast. About 3.15 o'clock that afternoon, when the storm had passed, Captain Truxton sighted l'lnsurgente again. Captain Barreault showed the American flag and hailed. Truxton replied with private signals which showed him the chase was not an American ship. At pistol shot distance the Constellation opened the battle with a broadside. The French ship replied and the firing became steady. Truxton sailed across his enemy's bow and raked. Then for half an hour he hung on 1'Insurgente's starboard quarter, firing broadside. ..Once the French ship, which carried 409 men to the American's 309, tried to board, but failed. Truxton crossed Barreault's bow again and raked. A return shot shattered the American foretopmast. Tnivfnn milloH O UfflV frftm thp smoke and began a furious broadside bombardment from the port bow. As he prepared to cross l'lnsurgente's stern and rake it from the quarter. Captain Barreault struck. Five Americans were killed or wounded in the battle, while seventy Frenchmen suffered a like fate. Another battle of some moment was fought between the American frigate Boston, and French corvette LeBerceau, which was assisted by a schooner. After four hours' fighting Captain Senez. a French veteran of the Revolutionary war, surrendered to Captain Little, of the Boston. The battle flags of the Le Berceau and I'lnsurgente now hang in the trophy room * of the naval academy, Annapolls. By far the most stirring deeds of the war were accomplished by the small vessels the United States fitted out to clean the southern seas of FVenr>h nrivatpprs. Historv carries no more brilliant chapter than the narration of those exploits. The Enterprise, a small schooner armed with twelve six-pounders and commanded by Lieut. John Shaw, played a conspicuous part. It was in commission only six months, but averaged nearly an engagement a week. First, Lieut. Shaw was challenged to a battle by a large French lugger. He accepted, but the Frenchman failed to appear. Then the Enterprise fought a night battle with a Spanish 16-gun ship by mistake. A few days later the sloop Citoyenne became its prize. Next the lugger that had failed to appear, was sighted and captured after a brisk fight. A French general was made prisoner and exchanged for an American officer held captive in Guadeloupe. The brig 1'Agile. ten guns; the Pauline, six guns; the Guadaloupeene, seven guns, and two other vessels were captured. On the Guadaloupeene was the same French general made prisoner on the lugger. The most desperate fight the Enterprise had was with the Flambeau, which carried twelve nlne-pounders. All day the two ships lay in a calm sea pounding each other. About nightfall the Flambeau, with 40 dead, surrendered. The Enterprise had lost 10 men. Another daring exploit was when ly the same strength. Crowds watched the fight from shore. Lieutenant Isaac Hull, later to command the Constitution and win eternal fame, took 90 men and stole the French sloop Sally from under the heavy guns of Puerta Plata. The only battle of the war in European waters was when the American letter of marque vessel, the Louisa, was attacked off Gibraltar by three French vessels of approximateApparently the American was whipped after a few hours' fighting, and the French ship started to board. The American sailors, except one officer, had retired below decks. When the leading French vessel, its bow swarmed with boarders, approached within pistol shot, the American officer rushed to the hatchway and called out that the French were retreating. "Come and take a final shot at them," he cried. The American sailors swarmed back on deck, and with one broadside literally cleared the Frenchman's fighters. The other two ships, appalled at the slaughter of their companions, gave up the fight. Early in 1801, French merchants began to petition their government to end the destructive war America was waging. So negotiations were started to end a war tnat naa never Deguu? officially. February 3, an agreement was reached and all hostilities ceased. France promised never to molest American commerce again. The Americans captured 84 French fighting crafts, most of them privateers, during the war. France took only one. the Retaliation, which formerly had been the French Croyable.? Kansas City Times. KINGS AS EDITORS "The Circular," Gives the News v. English Court. "We will have a royal newspaper. I will be editor, the queen sub-editor, and members of the court contributors." Although he did not actually say this, that is what the British prince consort meant when, years ago, he founded the "Court Circular," to which every newspaper has since been Indebted for a faithful record of royal movements and engagements. Lately there has been some talk or discontinuing the "Circular," for King George, unlike King Edward, who attached much importance to the publication and was a great stickler for minute accuracy, especially in the descriptions of the persons mentioned, is said to have expressed his opinion thai the paper costs more than it is worth. He holds that in these days of up-todate journalism it Is unnecessary. But so far the "Court Circular" has not been discontinued. Queen Victoria took a keen interest In the "Circular," and it was her rule, when her majesty was In residence at Balmoral, to send a special copy to one of the Aberdeen papers every evening. Furthermore, although the court newsman was responsible for tht - M Info publication or tne tnrunu, .0^ queen herself, on special occasions, contributed to its pages. Perhaps the most remarkable "Court Circular" ever sent out?certainly no other one has been so much spoken about?was issued one day in 1883, when John Brown, her majesty's faithful Highland attendant, died. It contained the following lines: "An honest, faithful and devoted follower, a trustworthy, discreet and straightforward man, possessed of strong sense, he filled a position of great and anxious responsibility, the [ duties of which he performed with such constant and increasing care as to secure for himself the real friendship of the queen. To her majesty the loss is irreparable, and the death of this truly faithful and devoted servant has been a grievous shock to the queen." Nor was this tribute surprising considering the high regard Queen Victoria entertained for the stalwart Highlander, whose fidelity to his duties was such as to earn not only the """"o ?nnfi<ion(>o hut the real friend ship of the queen. Once her majesty wrote of him: "He was always respectful, never servile; always useful, never obtrusive; usually silent, but when he did speak he was blunt and direct." Nearly every event of state importance is notified in the Court Circular. Every time the king receives a prime minister or any officer of state the fact is duly chronicled, and in the same way when his majesty has an audience with ambassadors or governors, or when he performs any ceremony or act the public is informed of it through the court newsman. An interesting event in the history of the "Court Circular" was that which occurred on November 15, 1911, when It was dispatched by wireless telegrap pny. Al I Hill inner liter mug were going to attend the great Coronation Durbar, and the customary account of the court doings was transmitted by wireless from Gibraltar. It was a week later that the "Court Circular" described for the first time the king and queen consort of these realms as "Their Imperial Majesties." This arose, of course, from the fact that it was only when the king-emperor and the queen-empress reached Aden tha' the full imperial style and title could be accorded them. The specialty of the late king of Greece, who so recently met a terrible death at the hands of an assassin, was door handles, ordinary and otherwise. He boasted of having a sample of every make known to civilization. When he visited England last he left behind him a trail of handlesless doors. I i.tit hnlitiv In th?? rol lectins of ties.

THE IRON JUDGE OF MALTA Knowing Man Waa Innocent, Extorted Confession by "Third Degree." One night, 200 years ago, Judge Cambo, of Malta, sat by his bedroom window, gazing out upon the sleeping . town, which was bathed in brilliant moonlight. Had Judge Cambo not been sitting by his window that night, his name would never have been Known outside of Malta, which is only about eight miles wldes and seventeen long. But he couldn't sleep well that night, for one reason or another, so he took his seat by the window, and eventually became known all over the world, or wherever lawyers congregate. Thus we see upon what a small peg destiny sometimes hangs. There is no doubt that Judge Cambo was a man of integrity and ability. Some even told that he had a conscience. In his youth he was considered sentimental and went so far, upon occasion, as to write poetry. But ' he took up the study of the law quite early; and the law became an infatuation with him. As the years went on i he became saturated with It, so that i took full possession of his soul and mind. He judged everything in the earth and the waters under the earth by his Maltese law, which was somewhat different from that now prevailing, as the Island then was under the dominion of ihe Knights of St. John. In the mind of Judge Cambo, though he perhaps wouldn't have confessed it, justice was a small thing as compared with the law. If justice and the law could be made to walk com fortably along the same road, well and good; otherwise, the law had the right of way and justice must scratch for itself. So Judge Cambo sat at his window in the soft Mediterranean night, and as he looked into the street beneath him, he saw one man stab another. The wounded man, who had been flying for his life, reeled and fell. At this moment the murderer's cap fell oft, and his face was fuily exposed to the Judge. The judge and the assassin stared at each other for a moment, and then the latter replaced his cap, threw away the sheath of his knife, and ran. The learned Jurist sat at his window gazing calmly at the dead man. An ordinary citizen might have raised an alarm, but the judge did nothing. It is possible that he was raking through his mind for a law that would fit the case. The night wore on, and morning was approaching, and the judge re malned at his window. Then a baker came into the street, carrying: his loaves for distribution. Presently the baker beheld the corpse, and stood looking at It, as though dazed. Then he saw the sheath of the knife, picked it up and examined it, and put it in his pocket. Then panic overtook him, and he ran, but just at that moment, policemen came around the corner and seized him. The unfortunate baker was led away to prison, and the judge, calm and serene, lay down for a few lines of slumber. In due season the baker was brought up for trial in the criminal court, and the presiding judge in that court was Cambo. He had come to the conclusion, after ruminating over all the law he had absorbed in the course of his career, that he had no right to act from his own private knowledge in a matter brought before him in his official capacity. Learned writers, discussing the case, have said that he acted conscientiously, and tew have expressed their belief that he acted properly. Such is the revemnce for law. The baker came up for trial a wretched and terrified man. The police had a strong case against him. He was arrested Just as he was leaving the corpse, and he had the sheath of a dagger or stiletto in his pocket. But as the case wore on it became apparent that the evidence wasn't conclusive enough, and there was a probability that the accused would be acquitted. Then this marvelous Judge Cambo used every endeavor to make the baker confess the crime. He threatened and entreated, but the accused persisted in declaring his innocence. So Judge Cambo ordered him to the torture, and he was stretched upon a rack. For a time he stuck to his claim of innocence, but when the agony became intolerable, he con fessed to the crime which he had never committed. And Judge Cambo looked on, calm and inscrutable, and wrote down the racked man's confession as it came from his bloodflecked lips. Surely there never was a more zealous public official than Judge Cambo. The Judge was now quite satisfied. The prisoner had been proven guilty according to the law, and there was nothing further to do except to sentence the man to death, which the judge did with much feeling, rebuk iitK IIiin iiinuiy iur iryiiiK iu uu?uuui the course of justice by refusing to confess. So the unfortunate baker was taken forth from the jail upon a following day and done to death by the executioner. He was buried down by the sea, near where St. Paul was shipwrecked once upon a time, and his memory became dim in the haunts of man. The years passed on, and Judge Cambo often sat by his window and gazed at the sleeping town, and if ghosts troubled him he gave no sign. The whole island admired and reverenced him as a saint-like man, who respected the law above all things except religion. The judge was growing old among his honors and dignities, when an untoward thine happened. In another part of the island a man was tried and convicted of a capital crime, and when he saw that doom was written against his name, he made full confession of various evil things he had done in his sinful career. ?l Bargains in Sun 5 f IN ICE CREAM FREEZ1 9 AND HAMMOCKS ?

But he argued that he had only lone his duty; that it was quite proper to send a man to an ignominous leath rather than violate the sacred law as he understood it.

Senator McLaurin in Charlotte.? < Former Senator John L. McLaurin of South Carolina, who spent several hours In the city yesterday en route from Filbert, where he spoke Friday, , to his summer home at Hendersonville, was asked about the endorsement by Senator Tillman of the state ware house bill, reference to which had appeared In the press dispatches. In reply Senator McLaurin stated that It was particularly gratifying to him, that he realized that It was a complicated question of finance and that it did seem to him that when Senator Tillman said a bill of which he (McLaurin), was the author would be of "untold benefit to the people of the south," that it must have great merit. Continuing Senator McLaurin said: "I am more interested in all this than I am in any question of public office. I honestly want to do something for the benefit of the people, and If It is necessary for me to go into a campaign to educate public thought In this direction, I would not hesitate a moment. Governor Blease is in favor of this bill. He was like everybody else at first, didn't like the idea, but when he studied, gave it his approval. His only fear is Just like mine, of Incompetent men being chosen to run it or getting it into politics. If you will make a man like T. B. Stackhouse chairman of the board, I'll guarantee it can be successfully handled. One reason I put the bill over until next session was because some or tne men wno seemeu imeiy iu get In the board, did not, in my Judgment, have the capacity to handle a big proposition like that. We want business men, not politicans, to handle a business proposition." Senator McLaurin was looking fine and appeared in excellent spirits. His eye is clear, his movements quick and decisive and his mental grasp of men and measures is that of the modern, aggressive, constructive statesman. He Is the fine type of the business man in politics, and should he decide to enter the lists, he will unquestionably make a powerful contender.
