QUITE A D1FFKKKM K
Soire Americans who are net at
tracted to fcither faction in
Mexico do not see why the meditat
ing -mediators at Niagara Falls
should object to the landing of mu
nitions of war for the constitu
tionalists at Tampico, any moi\
than to tho unloading of similar
material for the use of Huerta's
troops, at Puerto Mexico. They
cannot perceivo any justification
for the distinction drawn, it is re
ported, by the representatives <_•
the South American powers im
ested.
Yet there is a material differ
ence. Tho understanding, wl. n
mediation was undertaken, was
that as far as the United States
could control the situation militar>
conditions were to remain un
changed wLile the negotiations for
a peaceful settlement were in
progress. Xo advantage was to l»
sourht or taken, In this interval, l>>
either side.
Thea Tampico was in llio po
session of the federals. So was
Puerto, Mexico. Both were open
ports. The taking of Tampico by
tho constitutionalists changed this
state of things materially by giving
the revolutiousts a port for receiv
ing arms and ammunition, but for
this shifting of tho military bah',
the United States was not respon
sible. Puerto Mexico remained in
the possession of Huerta's force?.
Now comes the chance that
Huerta's gunboats may try to < s
tablish a partial blockade of Tam
pico aud stop the landiug of mu
nitions of war there. It is for tho
United States to say whether or
not this Mexican naval activity
shall be allowed, and this brings
up a point which the A. is. t'.
mediators may consider vital to
the future of their work. There is
uo denying that events have put
squarely before the President ami
Mr. Byran another question of
grave significance.

FLOGGED OUT OF THE ARMY.
Melancholy Fate of "The Whistler at
the Plow." —
Among the many pea uutiles of tbe
past "Tbe Wbistler ut the Plow" was
the happiest It was chosen by Alex
ander Somervllle, loug since dead, who
wrote tlie sweetest prose ever penned
ubout tho helds uud woods und ham
lets und the beasts, birds, reptiles und
people of Cauada.
1 glimpsed him once— a stupendous
Scot, with long white bair banging over
his shoulders and nn expression of su
preme sadness on the noble face. But
he had the clear bine eye of tbe Scot
tin eye that bud an amber glint In it
when be was roused.
I!e was an ex-soldier, but be did not
serve out his term of enJistment in the
army; neither did he t'et an honorable
discharge;
Alexander Somervllle was n private
lu one of tho crack cavalry regiments
of Great Britain and Ireland—1 think
it was the famous Scots Greys, but I
um not sure. He must have been a
umgniliceut looking soldier.
At the time of the great Chartist
movement in Uugiund ho was stationed
with his regiment somewhere In the
Ml. an.Is. The Chartists were looked
upon :.s an incipient 1-Yench revolution.
Their meetings were forbidden, coer
cive measures were undertaken, und
tilings began to look bad. The Chartists
—honest. I . :tn't tell you what u Chart
ist was. but he was. I fancy, an ultra
Liberal or Itadlcul of those days—de
cided to hold a procession. The au
thorities decided to prevent It. and a
bloody clash was billed for the next
Sunday.
The Scots Greys were ordered to
rotmli n bet thi ir sabers in preparation
to resist tiie mob. A saber so treated
breaks bones and tears and bruises tho
flesh, b'.U it doesn t sink deep. It was
a terr :>le order, mid Alexander Somer
ville. the luture "Whistler at the Plow,"
refused to obey. He could not draw
bis sword on his fellow countrymen
who were demanding liberty.
A corporal's guard seized Private
A lex a n Somervllle. lie was tried
lor insubordination by a court martial
and was sentenced to be flogged and
then dismissed from the army. Ho
sutfered a fearful flogging, with tho
whole garrison and ns many of tlio
citizens ns could see looking on—suf
lered without a cry or a groan—and
when the cruel, brutal business—a busi
ness that would have made Sitting
Bull or lied Cloud miserably ashamed
-was over be came out to this free
laud, a lone, broken and melancholy
man. to sing of freedom among the
free hills.
Does any one know where Is his
grave?—Toronto News.
Laying Bridge Floors.
Tlie most interesting nnd dangerous
looking stage In the construction of a
suspension bridge is the building of
the tlnor, s.-i.vs Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In I bis work the builders
have nothing to rest their work on
ai:d must build out eacii way from
the towers, securing the fleor piece by
piece to the heavy steel burs suspend
ed from the main cables far above.
The work !s done with derricks that
are equipped with booms long enough
to reach out ahead of the fiulsbed
structure and bold the girders sus
pended while they are being riveted In
place. As each section of the floor Is
completed the derricks are moved
ahead and the construction of the
uext section Is begun.
