The Oregonlan says; "The president's declaration of neutrality servos to draw attention to the change of naval warfare from a free-for-all rough-and-tumble scrap Into a fight under rules as binding as those that keep green the fame of a certain Marquis of Queensbcrry. In former days when nations woro at war all tho ships on both sides took a part in tho fighting. When Spain and England strug gled for oversea commerce and do- 1 minion, It was enough for tho Span- lard that a vessel flew St. George's T cross, and tho English skipper look 4 , ed upon a vessel displaying the .j, "blood and gold" colors ns his law- ful prey. In later days tho merchant J vessel pursued her way as peacefully & as tho "acts of God or tho king's ene i mles" would permit. She carried a tow guns so that she might not prove too tempting a quarry for the enemy's privateers, which had bo come tho licensed free-hooters of the sea. After tho downfall of Napoleon there was no great naval fighting, apd tho sentiment which had been steadily growing In favor of limiting fighting to regular combatant forces found Its first expression In an or-der-ln-councll made by Great Britain in 1854 nt tho beginning of the Cri mean war. In this order-In-council Great Brit ain agreed to "waive her maritime rights" and to do away with prlva teerlng. Two years later tho Dec laration of Paris bound hound tho signatory nations to abolish prlva- THE BEST THE MOST WHOLESOME PROPERLY MILLED WITHOUT A SUPERIOR ERS' BEST FLOUR The Standard of Excellency.

The declaration embodied these four points: Tho abolition of privateering. -A neutral flag covers an enemy's goods (except contraband.) Neutral goods (except contraband) aro safe In an enemy's ship. Blockades must be effective, Tho United States did not Join !n this declaration, not because It did not approve of the proposals, but bo causo It did not consider them far- reaching, enough. It was held by our authorities that nil private prop erty at sea should be exempt from capture. Tho .principles of tho decla ration, howovcr, havo been followed In every war since 1856, including tho civil war, and thus fighting Is now confined to the natives of bellig erents. This, of course, will rend er nations anxious to make fast merchant vessels part of tho navy as a means of sweeping the enemy's flag from the sens. The United States has been gen erally recognized ns tho steadfast champion of the rights of neutrals. In the president's proclamation ho cites tho provision of the law of 1818 which Is practically a re-enactment of a law passed In 1794. One of tho most Important provisions therein is that prohibiting the "In creasing or augmenting" of tho forco of any war vessel belonging to n belligerent that may enter United Stntes waters. How advanced Is the view taken by this law is shown by the fact that the British law of neutrality is de clared by so eminent a parliamen tarian as Sir William Vernon Har court to be a transcript of tho Amer ican. It Is tho duty of a neutral power to use due vigilance in enforcing the laws regarding neutrality. It is thus the duty of tho United Stntes government to prevent aB noted in the presidential proclamation Americans from assisting In raising forces in American territory for Japan or Russia ; to prevent vessels suitable for warfare from being fit ted out In American waters, and generally to prevent aid from being afforded one side Or tho other from American territory. Laxity in car rying out these obligations would render the nation liable for the re sulting damages as evidenced by the Alabama case.

Their gentle music of a tender strain can bs brought out by no fp-ople in the world like the colored people. This great organization stands at the head of the colored vocalists of the world and to be ap- must be heard. No music produced equals the human voices and no voices are as sweet se of the colored people in their rich negro melodies. No citizen should miss hearing the orig- Fisk Jubilee Singers. What Mark Twain Says: Mar Twain, at Lucerno, Switzerland, wrote as follows to his friend Itev Joseph Twltcholl of Hartford, after hearing a concert at Vitznau by the Flak Jubilee Blngers In 1897: "The Jubilees sung a lot of pieces. Arduous and painstaking cultivation baa not diminished or artlflclallzod their music. On the contrary, to my mind, cultivation has mightily reinforced lis cloquenco and boauty. To me, away back In the beginning, their music made all other vocal music cheap, and that early notion Is emphasized now. It Is utterly be:.utlful, and movos mo inflnitoly more than any other music can. I think that in the Jub..ee Singers and their songs America has produced the perfectest flow ore of tho ages, and I wish it woro a foroign product, so that she would worship It, and lavish money on it, and go properly crazy over It."

Tho use of colliers at sea furnishes a precarious method of overcoming tho lack of coalln sta tions, but heavy wentlior would rend er tho colliers unavailable and tho ships of war would bo likely to find themselves adrift and helpless. Already In tho present war a Rus sian ship has found herself caught at Port Said, and wns allowed In ic cordnnco with tho usago laid down n il: president's proclamation coal to tako her to her nearest homo port. Tho rumors thnt tho Ilaltlo fleet Is to be sent to tho East may bo taken with more than a grain "t salt. Lack of coal would stop tho ships boforo they had reached tho Suez canal."

This latter lodge is the fruitful mother of 9,000 Pythian lodges now floiirlnhlng In 51 grand domains, and carrying upon their rosters an aggrogato of nearly COO 000 members. There nro also about ,50,000 of tho knights who belong to tho uniformed 'or mllltnry branch of tho order, which Is known as tho "Army of the Lily."
