The funniest part of it all) is the way the English troops fright | ened the brave African monarch and | his warriors almost to death without | even firing a gun. The path from the coast to the interior led through a dense African jungle—an ideal place for an ambush. The army engineers went ahead of of the troops with a corps of wood- choppers to clear the way for the army. As the expedition approached the kingdom of the braye King of Prempeh they found the woods full of armed savages. Suddenly the engineering corps, after darkness had settled on the orest, set off an enormous display of sky-rockets, Roman candles, aerial bombs, pin wheels and fire-crackers. They sent the rockets whizzing into the underbrush and exploded the many colored bombs among the trees. Red, blue and yellow lights glowed hers and there and Roman candles shot their exploding balls up over the heads of King Prempeh’s ambushed braves. The warriors astounded. Their eyes bulged with terror and in five minutes there wasn’t a cor- poral’s guard of the valiant army to be seen. The fireworks were kept up all night and at daybreak a cour- ier from King Prempeh crept up to the British picket lines and begged to announce that the King was ready to agree to anything the English commander wanted. The way this war has been carried | out is the funniest part of the whole opera bouffe performance. ' When the steamer Angola left Liverpool, hidden away down in her hold was an immense quantity of skyrockets and Roman candles. She had tons of these Fourth of- July fireworks among her cargo of warlike implements. There were skyroekets of every kind, fire bal- loons, shooting stars, red, white and blue powders, pin wheels, “snakes,” and Ghinese firecrackers.

He subsequently went to Axenstein, in Switzerland, for the purpose of taking an after cure. Since that time, however, he has manifested great activity in the dis- charge of his office, which have been more than usually onerous on ac count of the complications in Eu repean affairs which have more or less demanded the attention and care of the diplomatic representa- tives of all nations. His death will come as a great shock to official and social circles here in Berlin, where he was a great favorite. Mr. Runyon was the successor of William Walter Phelps, who held the place of German Minister four years. He was a gallant soldier, and Fort Runyon, on the Alexandria railroad at the south end of the bridge near Washington, D.C., isa perpetuation of his name. At the time of the appointment of Mr. Runyon it was remarked as being that of the oflice seeking the man. His name had been presented to the president by Senator McPher- son and Senator Smith, and he knew nothing of the application which was being made in his behalf until he was asked by letter if he would accept. The unequivocal indorse- ment which he received from the senators, and the high reputation enjoyen by him in the state, led the president to make the appointment without hesitation.
