Limit of Durden Reached In Ger
many, France and Ru*i»Ia—The Re-
latlonn of Great Britain and the
United States.
Lord Brassey, an eminent naval au
thority and president of the London
chamber of commerce, has lately been
in Boston looking over the business
and shipping Interests, says a Boston
dispatch. In an interview he analyzed
the present conditions of industry and
commerce in England, the relations of
England to her commercial competitors
and her relations to the colonies and j
commented on the relations of the j
United States and Great Britain, espe
cially in China.
He also touched on the growing am- 1
ity between this country and England,
and in speaking of naval power he
made the statement that the United
States, with her tremendous resources,
is undoubtedly destined to be the first i
naval power-in the world. He predict- |
?d that, owing to present conditions, at
least a partial disarmament would take !
dace on the continent—In France, Ger
many and Russia.
Regarding the naval supremacy of
the United States Lord Brassey said:
“It Is only a question of time when
the fleets of the United States will be
raised to the first rank. Potentially the
United States is already incomparably
the greatest naval power In the world.
She has the greatest resources, and It
is only a question of policy with her.
[f it came to a question of competition
you have greater resources than we
have.
“Germany has been pushing her
aavy with the result that her naval
nnbition with other causes has brought
in exceedingly strained condition of
German finances. Russia has been liv-
ng on loans from France, but she can
not borrow any more, and anarchy is
rife in that country. France has
reached her limit. Retrenchment is the
:-ry there. All this will tend toward
lisarmnment.
“These expensive armaments are the
greatest curse of Europe, and we in
Great Britain have about reached the
limit ourselves. The breaking point has
been reached in France, Germany and
Russia. These countries are stagger
ing along with an awful load.”
Regarding world politics Ixutl Bras-
?oy said: “We have great hope that in
the near future Great Britain and the
United States will find it for their
ioint interests to act more In harmony.
We are coming nearer all the time.
“Our relations with Chinn and the
home government of China must be
for many years to come a subject of
deepest moment to the world. Cer
tainly If the United States and Great
Britain act together it will be for the
mutual advantage of both and con
ducive to civilization. The Russian
czar’s movements, you will find, will be
a great deal slower when he finds the
United States and Great Britain to
gether.”

Captain Darr'M Skill Shown In Man? '
Yacht Kuccn.
“Wee” Charlie Barr, as he has been
known for years, who sails the Reli- |
ance in the yacht races, made his debut |
in this world in Scotland, but came to
the United States many years ago.
says the Baltimore American. He, |
like many another subject of the queen,
soon realized the opportunities offered
by the new country and decided to
make it his home.
After making some reputation here
In his chosen profession he recrossed i
the western ocean and brought back
with him a wife, the sweetheart of |
days gone by in the Scottish hills. Ills
present home port is New London, I
where he owns a handsome little cot- j
tage within sound of the sea he loves 1
so well. He is a naturalized citizen,
and Old Glory has no more standi
supporter than the sailing master of
the Reliance.
Fifteen years ago Captain Barr was
a sailor on the Thistle when that craft
challenged for the America’s cup. She
was sailed by John Barr, but it Is a
matter of history that she failed in her
mission, and Charles Barr spent sev
eral years in smaller craft in the vicin
ity of Boston. The next craft of inter
national importance in which he fig
ured was the Navahoe, built for Royal
Phelps Carroll In 1893. Captain Barr
was selected to navigate her across the
ocean, and to him was intrusted the
task of sailing her in British waters.
The Navahoe won back the Brentou’s
reef cup under his skillful guidance,
but lie left her before the end of the
season. On his return to this country
lie accepted the berth as first mate on
the Jubilee, which was commanded by
his brother and had been built as a
possible defender for the America’s
cup by General Paine.
Tlie Jubilee and two other aspirants
for International yachting laurels were
defeated by the Vigilant, and Captain
Barr left Boston for New York. He
sailed the Vigilant in her trial races
igainst the Defender in 1805, and when
the Columbia was built to meet the
Shamrock I. in 1809 Captain Barr was
selected by Mr. Iselin to sail the Herre-
sliotf creation. In 1901 he again suc
cessfully defended the cup in the Co
lumbia against Shamrock II. after de
feating the Constitution in the various
trial races.

Suez IntcrcNta In London FifchtlnK
Fnuuniu Treaty.
One of the strongest influences at
work to defeat the ratification of the
Panama canal treaty by Colombia is
that of the English interests, which
are looking to the defense of the Suez
canal, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Ledger. The
English bondholder does not welcome
the prospect that the Suez canal,
which now enjoys a revenue that Is
constantly inerea ing as the volume of
traffic through that waterway in
creases, should be forced to lose divi
dends by competition. The tonnage of
the Suez canal is now, In round num
bers, 12,000,000 annually, and it has
been computed that a serious diversion
of this traffic would occur If the Pana
ma canal should be built. By some the
amount that would thus be taken from
Suez is placed at two-fifths.
It is unmistakable that there has
been an activity of late In Colombia of
agencies which are undoubtedly Eng
lish and it may be attributed to sympa
thy with the Suez canal interests.
The apprehension that a faction in
the Colombian congress is playing for
time and trying to work a forfeiture
of the present franchise, which lapses
Oct. 31, 1994, is not felt by Dr. Herrun.
He says that there is no good Reason
for suspecting any such purpose. There
has been no sentiment supporting such
a plan, and. In fact, public opinion is
averse to a course which would look
like taking snap judgment in the face
of two such powerful nations as
France and the United States.

Summer girls and their temporary or
permanent affinities will sit in ham
mocks whije companionable talking ma
chines deliver effusions of love from
popular novels when the prophesy of
Professor 11. Marion of the United
States Naval academy at Annapolis is
fulfilled, says the Chicago Tribune.
Professor Marion told a score of Chi
cago university professors and ambi
tious language students in Cobb hall
that it would not be long before print
ed books would be classed with “wall
sweep” clocks and that libraries would
be made up of talking machine disks.
Professor Marion is an advocate,
with Professors Scripture of ( Yalo, Cu-
sachs of Annapolis and Do Sumlcbrast
of Harvard, of the advanced “talking
machine” method of teaching the lan
guages. It was yesterday, at Cobb
ball, during a demonstration of this
method, which has been successfully
tested at the Naval academy, that the
speaker outlined the larger scope of the
invention.
“In time.” he declared, “these disks
will take the place of textbooks. Pn-
ner backed novels will disappear, and
instead of reading printed books the
litterateur will only have to put a disk
In his talking machine and have the
novel read to him in the living voice of
its creator.”
Professor Marion was not speaking
to convince his hearers of the value of
the new talking machine for fiction
readers so much as for the students of
language. He declared that the new
pedagogical method of teaching the
languages overcame the necessity of
linguists wasting valuable time in
teaching pronunciation.

McrclinntM the Victim* of Snppuaed
“BuNincMM Directory” Venture.
A swindle of national proportions, by
means of which over $1,000,000 has
been taken from merchants and bank- (
ers all over the country, is alleged by
liouisville detectives as the ground for
the arrest here of Jacob W. Geist, who
says he represents the National Gazet
teer of New York and Chicago, says a
Louisville (Ky.) dispatch to the Phila
delphia Ledger. Geist is charged with
liaving obtained money under false pre
tenses from five firms.
The officers declare that Geist’s do
ings are connected with those of James
Fallon, arrested in New York last
April, and of Arthur Hubbard, arrest
ed In Washington about the same time
on similar charges. According to the
detectives, the men go to merchants
to solicit advertising In a “National
Business Directory and Rating Book.”
If a bona fide order signed by the
merchant is given It is raised In
amount and so changed as to provide
for payment at a date before delivery
of the directory. If the merchant re
fuses he Is persuaded to sign a blank
application for a sample copy, which
later appears as a contract over the
victim’s signature.
