An International
Incident
•
AHOLIDAY celebration that wl
lung be reulembert%t in the
Aulerleau navy Is the "Santa
Claus tinnier" given in the
wardroom of one of Uncle Sam's
gunboats of the Venezuelan coast.
'Phe plan had been to have the affair
ou C'brlatnia■ night, but as the vessel
was then at sea the eveut was ix,st-
poted until New Year's, It was on
this oeca.lon that an Renal battle-
ship commander, with warlike Inten-
tions toward the Uulted States and
all their lnhabltaute, wax beguiled Into
peaceful thougbts by good American
punch, which the Amerleuu ottl ere
dealt nut to him 1n each quantities that
he finally aald he would like to settle
in the western hemisphere.
It happened that the ltalluu'N man-
or -war and the Yankee guul,,at array-
ed In southern waters ut about the
same time. There was the metal luter-
chauge of Collrteelle, Theft (weltered
the Incident that aroused the Italian
captain's Ire. A South American news-
paper printed a cartoon representing
him as being blown out of the water
by the Uulted States gunboat. lit this,
of course, there was no sense what-
ever, as Italy and this country were
on the frteudlleat terms, but the for-
eign skipper, being both ezeltable and
suspfcloue, took the matter to heart.
The Americans heard tbat he even ac-
cused tbeut of inspiring the cartoon
and that he had- complained to his
Home governtneut.
New Year's day cause due whsle the
goeslp was at ate height. For weeks
the wardroom officers ut the gunboat
had beeu making preparations for n
grand feast. They decided at the Inst
minute to Invite, the Italian any his
staff as pleats of honor.
A refusal, of course, was nut of the
question. but when the guests arrived
their attitude was cold and Mutant, es-
pecially that of the captain, who look-
ed as though he expeetrd to be thrown
Into Irons, It was mold afterward that
he had ordered his vessel to be ready
for Inuue.liate action In ease'of treacle
cry. At any rate, he mat down nt din-
ner without a %ualle for his hosts, and
for awhile things leaked gloomy.

cers of the gunboat snceeeded 111 fore.

The Outlook In Klondik..
There is is note of real cheerfulness
in the paragraph given below front
The Dawson News. The means of com-
munication with Klondike are such
thnt it be now a good while past
Thanksgiving, but the paragralih in
worth reading, as showing that, in the
opinion of thone on the spot, Klon-
dike is far from being a played out
mining camp. The note rea(Is:-"To-
day is Thanksgiving Day. Klondike is
among the dietriets which can return
thanks with no straining of the ima-
ginetinn. We can be thankful for the
Most perfect public health of any sec-
tion of the Dominion; for the most
glorious weather; for uninterrupted
navigntion; for a past Reason of ac-,
tivity and profit; for the doubling up
of the value of claims; for an entire
aenenn of full employment fon our
workers; for a Ceasation of political
wrangling; for many beneficial laws
enacted; for the absolute promise (1
greater prosperity next yenr; for the
close of n season more profitable to
the country than last; for a year of tin
idleness in the camp which was not
voluntary; for the restful certainty
that the coming year ie to require an
army of employed double that of the
lest year; for is nearly complete ab-
senee of disaster, and for a well -stocked
market and the wherewithal to pur-
chase our turkey."
