“THE BASTERN QUESTION,

Germany Will Open Kiao Chou.

Congratulations of ‘The Times.

_—_

Loxpor, Jan. 25.—The Times tlis morning says editorily: “We are glad to learn from various trustworthy and

mutually independent sources that the rumors of Germany’s intention to open Kiau Chou to the world’s commerce are well-fouaded. Ifthisdecision if main- tained Kiao Chou -vil)l possibly beeome a great busy and flourishing exftrepot of the world’s trade. The wirdom of this decision cannot be doubted. It will tend to improve the unnecessarily strained rela- tione between Germany and England. It is to be hoped that other nations will follow Germany’s example and that the far eastern question may therefore be greatly simplified.

A PEARL PIRATE.

A French Psmccancer ‘Whe Made a Bok Capture on the Pearl Banks.

Edmund T. Higg-, the energetic the Board uf Trade, has re- very pleasant trip ‘oO

Mrs. Frank R. Stockton has contrib- ,

uted to St. Nicholas, under the title of ““The Buccaneers of Our Coast,’’ a series of narrative sketches of the buccaneers of the Spanish main. He tells the fol- lowing adventure:

One of the adventurers who set out about this time on a cruise after gold laden vessels was a Frenchman who was known to his countrymen as Pierre Francois and to the English as Peter Francis. He was a good sailor and ready for any sort of a sea fight, but for a long time he cruised about without seeing anything which it was worth while to attempt to capture. At last, when his provisions began to give ont and his men to become somewhat discontented, Pierre made up his mind that rather than return to Tortuga empty handed be would make a bold and novel stroke for fortune.

At the mouth of one of the large rivers of the mainland the Spaniards had established a pear) fishery, for’there was no kind of wealth or treasure on the land, underground or at the bottom of the sea that the Spaniards did not get if it were possible.

Every year at the proper season a dozen or more vessels came to this pearl bank, attended by a man-of-war to pro- tect them from molestation. Pierre knew all about this, and as he could not find any Spanish merchantmen to rob he thought he would go down and see what he could do with the pear! fishers. This was something the buccancers bad

not yet attempted, but no one knows | what he can do until he tries, and it |

was very necessary that this buccancer captain should try something immedi- ately.

When he reached the coast near the mouth of the river, be took the masts out of his little vessel and rowed quiet- ly toward the pearl fishing flect, as if he had intended to join them on some entirely peaceable errand, and, in fact, there was no reason whatever why the Spaniards should suppose that a boat full of buccaneers should be rowing along that part of the coast.

The pearl fishing vessels were all at anchor, and the people on board were quietly attending to their business. Out at sea, some distance from the mouth of the river, the man-of-war was lying be- calmed. The native divers who went down to the bottom of the sea to bring up the shellfish which contained the pearls plunged into the water and came up wet and shining in the sun, with no fear whatever of any sharks which might be swimming about in search of a dinner, and the people on the vessels opened the oysters and carefully search- ed for pearls, feeling as safe from harm as if they were picking olives in their native groves.

But something worse than a shark was quietly making its way over those tranquil waters, and no banditti who ever descended from Spanish mountains upon the quiet peasants of a village equaled in ferocity the savage fellows who were crouching in the little boat belonging to Pierre of Tortuga.

This innocent looking craft, which the pearl fishers probably thought was loaded with fruit or vegetables that somebody from the mainland desired to sell, was permitted, without being challenged or interfered with, to row up alongside the largest vessel of the fleet, on which there were some armed men and a few cannon.

As soon as Pierre’s boat touched the Spanish vessel the buccaneers sprang on board with their pistols and cut- lasses, anda savage fight began. The Spaniards were surprised, but there were a great many more of them than there were pirates, and they fought hard. However, the man who makes the attack and who is at the same time desperate and hungry, has a great advantage, and it was not long before the buccaneers were masters of the vessel. Those of the Spaniards who were not killed were forced into the service of their captors, and Pierre found himself in command of a very good vessel.

Berraio, N. Y., Jan. 21.—A eprcial to the Evening News from Washington taye : It was a peculiar situation in the national honse of representatives when Congresses man MeLellan, son of Gen. Geo. B. Mo Lellan, in impassioned sentences denoune ed the Unived States army as inefficient, top heavy with gold lace and unworthy of this nation. It was utterly amazing, he said, but it was true, that not an offi ser in the service wag engaged j im preparing for war. There existed nota Single plan of campaign, not a single skeleton order for mobilization, no plan for camps, in fact not one of the preliminary neces~ silies to meetawar crisis. McLellan’s remarks were given close attention, and he was liberally applauded when he cons cluded.
