THE PRESIDENT’S NOTE.
’resident Wilson’s note to Great
tain has been received with a
at deal of satisfaction by those
o favor neutrality and also by the
-Germans. The President has evi
itly determined to follow out his
uciples enunciated in the preced
note to Great Britain and will
ce that haughty mistress of the
s to cease molesting our vessels
en bound for neutral ports. The
zure last week of two American
«els, just outside the harbor of
w York, has undoubtedly hastened
p crisis, and it is sincerely hoped
At the president will be backed up
fully by the press as was his policy
the German submarine blockade,
ere is no reason why every time
nation gets into war that a neu
;*1 nation should suffer with the bel
’erents. Wilson’s stand has caused
ach caustic criticism by the English
ess, as Great Britain claims that
is not a case of following interna
>nal law, but that she is fighting
'r her very existence.
; During our late unpleasantness
ith Spain, Great Britain sharply
iticised the United States for inter
ring with her shipping, and remind
jl the United States that interna
onal law allowed her ships to trade
ith any nation with which she was
i; peace. In other words, that she
id a perfect right, under the Hague
•eaty, to furnish our foes all the am
tunition and war material her bot
»ms could carry. At one point of
ie controversy, the United States
■as very near the breaking point
rtth England, and it was only by the
xercise of the greatest diplomacy
n the part of our statesmen, that
rupture waa averted.
The President’s firm stand in the
natter has been universally com
mended by both Democratic and Re
publican statesmen of this country,
md while it is hoped that a rupture
Pf diplomatic relations will be avoid
»d, it is believed that the President
*ill remain firmly insistent in his
iemands regarding American ship
ping.

STEAMER CORDOVA
IN A BAD STORM
!
Caught in the Tremendous Tide Rips
of Cook Inlet and Battered
by Gale Slips Anchors.
SEWARD, Nov. 8.—The freighter
Cordova, of the Alaska Steamship
company, en route to Anchorage with
a full cargo of freight for the Alas
kan Engineering commission, has re
turned to Seward without having de
livered her cargo.
The Cordova was stopped by the
tremendous tide in Cook Inlet and
anchored to prevent her being car
ried from her course by the wall of
water. While at anchor the steamer
was struck by a gale and was forced
to slip her anchors and flee before
the gale for safety outside the Inlet,
narrowly escaping from becoming a
wreck.
The steamer returned to Seward to
receive orders regarding the delivery
of the freight, which consists largely
of railroad rails for the commission.
The vessel shows signs of having
been in a gale as in addition to losing
both her anchors, she was battered
by the tremendous waves driven be
fore the gale.
