WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 3.—In
a communication addressed to the
Senate, read this morning before that

that he had been warned that the
navy was not ready for immediate ac

of the fleet were in excellent condition
and that an ample supply of muni
tions was immediately available.

LOOSES CHAMPIONSHIP
TO AMATEUR ANGLER
“How are the Mighty fallen.”
Sorter King, the champion wing
shot, champion fisherman champion
all-round sportsman, has at last been
compelled to lay down his laurels,
at least as a fisherman, and witness
ithe wreath of achievment bestowed
upon another.
News of the arrival of trout on Si
wash Creek, north of the town was
Jconveyed to Mr. King yesterday morn
ing by Billy Gelineau and Sergeant
Waller, who told him of catching
four handsome specimens of the finny
; tribe in that stream Sunday. Bright
and early yesterday morning, armed
with the latest appliances of the
; craft, Mr. King hied himself to Si
wash creek, declaring that he would
not return until he had secured five
trout that would put in the shade
anything Gelineau ever landed. Up
the creek, down the creek, with fly
and salmon egg, he threshed the
stream from end to end, but never
a strike rewarded his skill and pa
tience. Hunger finally overcame his
enthusiasm, and he returned to town.
After filling the aching void of his
interior department, he interviewed
Gelineau again, and was informed
that he had used the wrong bait en
tirely. Salmon eggs and flies, he was
informed, were no attraction to the
first run of fish, nothing but a strictly
fancy brand of sugar cured bacon
tempting their capricious appetite.
Securing a slab of this expensive
delicacy he again hied himself to the
banks of the stream, and as long as
the daylight permitted, used his every
device to tempt the wary trout from
out his lair, but his success was nil,
and today ho is facing with all the
equanimity he'can muster the gibes
and smiles of his more successful?
amateur.rival.

A Small World.
Another little example of the
smallness of the world: The Amer
ican consul general at Dresden, St.
John Gaffney, was dismissed by Pres
ident Wilson some few months ago
beause he had as a dinner guest Sir
Roger Casement, the Irish knight
who started the Irish uprising. At
the time the papers in the United
States were full of the Gaffney story,
and Gaffney is a brother-in-law of
Dick and Jim Ryan, of Katalla, who
have been trying to have a railroad
built to Controller Bay.
