Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., August 24, 1804. This week there has been a slight de- crease in the number of people here, and although the larger hotels are still full and have many engagements ahead lasting through September, yet among the smaller houses, those who quarter the business people during their two or three weeks’ vacations, many leave this week, their time of pleasure having expired. The weather this week has continued beautiful, in fact, has been preferable to that expe- rienced in the early part of August, not so warm, and just right for solid outdoor en- joyment, and there is no doubt that those here who can stay through September will undoubtedly do so. This Sunday will be the final one of the immense crowds that have characterized this August. Of course, many one-day tour- ists will be down next week and the next and so on, but as far as an unquarterable arrival is concerned we will have 10 more of that this year, and every one who hies himself to Atlantic City from now out will find ample and satisfactory accommoda- tions for comfort and pleasure. The regular variety of entertainments have come off this week, and those here have enjoyed themselves the same way that they.did the week before—dances here, euchre parties there, tally-ho parties, crab- bing, fishing, sailing, side trips to Brigan- tine and Longport, through the country, &c. Fishing especially has been very good, and the catches reported this week surpass those of any time during the summer. Weak fish and sea bass are always in the majority, and both make very fine sport. The gunning season is now coming in,and @ great many gunners will come down next week ready to battle with the snipe, cur- lews,_ gray duck, teal, &c. Later, about the Ist of October, the wild geese and brant and black ducks will arrive, and all gunners know that they make excéllent sport. I have been treated to some very good exhibitions of base ball at the Inlet Park, the Pittsburg league team being here on Wednesday, and our local boys gave them a very strong game, the score being 6 to 7 in the leaguers favor, and at that they had to put in two pitchers before the game was won. *A_very interesting exhibit is now being made by the Association of American Flor- ists, who are holding their annual conven- tien in this city. The floral exhibit is very complete and beautiful, and thousands of the visitors here have visited it. A note- worthy exhibit are the water lilies, which were sent by Mrs. Cleveland from the Ex- ecutive Mansion, and, of course, are at- tracting a great deal of attention. The city council is arranging to have all legislation passed so that at the close of the season the contemplating of the paving of the streets will become a reality, and be- fore the visitors reach Atlantic City again they will see this work under way. Another improvement, which there ts little doubt but what will be a reality before the waning of the season cf "#4, is the boulevard drive down the beach from Atlartic City to Long- port, which, when completed, will undoubt- edly prove one of the most attractive fea- tures with the fashionable life at the shore, and private equipages next year will be numbered by the score.

The Bill Appropriating $9,000 Has Now Passed the Senate. ‘The impossibility of securing a working quorum in the Senate was effectively demon- strated yesterday afternoon to Senator Har- ris, and he accordingly conceded to the re- publicans the terms that they have been demanding, namely, that there should be no further attempts at speechmaking or at general legislation, Much work was, there- fore, done in the afternogn behind closed doors, afthough the Senate was really in legislative session. The bill appropriating the $9,000 for the enforcement of the in- ccme tax provisions of the tariff law was Passed without objections, but no effort was made to bring up the bill repealing the free alcohol paragraph of the new law. The bargain between the two sides was clinched by a statement by Mr. Quay in open session, just before adjournment. He gave notice to the Senate that there was no use trying to secure further legislation, and ke merely gavé voice to the under- standing. The Senate took up and passed without any amendment the bill granting right of way through the Arlington reservation to the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Company, Mr. Manderson with- drawing his amendment to the bill, which was adopted by the committee on military affairs. This enabled the passage of the bill without further delay. ‘The bill to incorporate the National Gas, Electric Light, Heat and Power Company of the District, which was recently reported adversely from the committee on the Dis- trict, was taken up anew and referred back to the committee. Crazy College Professor, M. M. Mensfield, formeriy professor of languages at Stanford University, has been arrested in San Francisco for insanity. His conduct has been so erratic that people in the neighborhood stood in great fear of him. He was once professor of languages at Harvard College, but there also his mental vagaries caused him to lose the con- fidence of his associates and finally his SOME GOOD STORIES Which Relieved the Strain of the Contest Over the Tariff. CHAIRMAN WILSON AND HIS OLD HAT The Situation, Though Grave, Sug- gested Witty Incidents. THEN CAME EPIGRAMS peeraPa CT There was a humorous phase to the tariff. notwithstanding all its seriousress and the profound effect :t wag to have on the com- mercial and political interests of the coun- try. The tariff leaders’ always had time to have their jokes, ahd’’there is ,hardly a crisis in the many whieh occurred during the long contest which is not marked by some good story. The country has heard of the prolonged and -Bitter struggle in the conference room, and yet these conferees, wearied with their: hopeless task, often turned aside to tell stoties aptly tlustrat- ing their condition, *. Even the old gray slouch hat of Chairman Wilson came to have its significance in the great struggle. It is a weather-beaten tile, which has gone through several West Vir- ginia summers, until the perspiration from Mr. Wilson's brow has run irregular waves around the band, It ‘s of the Texas brand, with spacious brim and the top smashed in an irregular fashion. It has been worn so long aad has become so marked as the hat of no other man than Wilson that it never covld be mistaken. And this fact soon be- came an inestimable boon to the eager lob- byists, who swarmed through the Capitol corridors and sought to get near the man who had so much to do in fixing the rates of the tariff bill. Mr. Wilson was seldom to be found in’ person, as he was closeted most of the time with his democratic associates on the ways and means committee or with the tariff conferees during the several months the bill was under consideration. It was in vain that lobbyists ed for him, as they could get no information as to: where he was or when he would return. But the acute lob- byist, and, indeed, everybody about the Capitol, soon learned to look for Wilson's hat instead of Wilson. It was an unfailing indication of his presence at the Capitol. He hung it in the ways and means commit- tee room when he arrived in the morning and left it there until he departed, The Tale of the Hat. When it was gone it was certain notice that Wilson had departed for the day uni that tariff figuring had ended. As long as it hung there it was proof Positive that Wilson was not far off and that the tariff schedules were being arranged. Soon the hat advanced from its position as a merc Dotice to a receptacle for cards and notes. On one evening Representative Dalzell of the ways end means committee had a message of pressing importance to convey to the chairman, and, as Wilson could not be found, Dalzell thrust the note through the band of the hat and felt confident that the message would be received before the day closed. Other members and callers strolled in to see the chairman, and soon the hat band was encircled with cards and messages. Night after night this hat look: ed like the card rack in some country ta ern. It was not until the last days of the struggle that Wilson determined to cut off this unfailing notice of his presence by wearing his hat continually. It was a sore disappointment to the army which sought him daily and which had until then camped. around his old slouch hat. When Senator Gorman made his memora- ble speech, bringing it to a dramatic climax by asking one Senator after another to rise and substantiate ihe statements made, Representative Tarsney of the ways and means committee told a story which was s00n passed among the members as apply- ing to the Gorman Incident. Tarsney told of an oll Irish lady living in his district who was continually complaining of her afflictions, When e neighbors came in she would explain Patrick's latest misfor- tune in losing his job and her own trou- bles with the rhetimatism. Besides: this the oldest daughter was sick in bed and the youngest was afflicted with the whoop- ing cough. It was a distressing cough, ex- plained the old lady, and then, that there might be no mistake abéut it, she added: “Now, Elnora, cough for the ladie: And so, as the result of Tarsney’s story, members got in the habit of inquiring whether Gorman was likely to ask any of the Senators to cor that day. Birdie aud Her Song. Miss Birdie Anandale and her inimitable song of “Down in the Valley” will long re- main as a feature of the tariff struggle. In fact, during the last few weeks Senators and members have seldom spoken directly [fof the success of the Senate bill, but have usually referred to it as the triumph of Birdie Anandale. Miss Anandale was introduced into the tariff discussion by Senator Vest of Mis- sourl, It occurred at one of the first_meet- ings of the tariff conferees. Mr.» Wilson and his House associates declared with em- phasis that they would never accept such a conscienceless bill as that presented by the Senate. They said it was covered with scandal and was a gratuity to the sugar and other trusts. The Senators merely re- plied that it would have to be swallowed, gcod or bad, without the dotting of an “1” or the crossing of a “ Senator Vest said that the opposition of the House reminded him of Miss Birdie Anandale, and he pro- ceeded to tell the story. A crowd had gathered in one of the Mis- souri concert halls during the early days and were waiting for the show to begin. It was the custom for the manager to come on the stage between the acts and an- reunce the events. He came out and the crowd listened intently. “Ladies and gentlemen,” said he, “I will have the pleasure of introducing Miss Birdie Anandale, a songstress who has charmed two hemispheres, in her captivating song, “Down in the Valley.’ ” At this moment a drunken man in the audience staggered to his feet and shouted, “Birdie Anandale is no good on earth, and she can’t sing for sour apples.” The stage manager was naturally flabber- gastered. He gagged for a moment, but finally pulled himself together, and added: “Nevertheless, notwithstanding,ladies and gentlemen, Miss Birdie Anandale, the song- stress of two hemispheres, will now sing ‘Down in the Valle: * He Had to Be Forced. When the House was about to accept the Senate bill Representative Bynum of the ways and means committee told a story {I- luttrating the situation. At that time it wes generally supposed that Mr. Wilson and his associates wanted to have the pub- lic appearance of accepting the Senate bill very reluctantly, while, in fact, they were quite ready to end the struggle by taking the Senate measure as speedily as possible. Bynum told his associates that it remind- ed him of an old gentleman in Indianapolis who had been bedridden for some time and was fond of the bottle. He told his wife how miserable he Was feeling one day. Chilis were chasing down his back and cramps had possession of his vitals. After specifying each of his miseries, the old gen- tleman said to his wife: “Get the black bottle, and if I show any resistance just force it down my throat. ‘Representative Robertson of Louisiana dropped into poetry as a result of the te- dious tariff debate, and he would frequently recite to his associates parts of Spencer's “Fairy Queen.” The Louisiana sugar in- terests were particularly anxious to see the struggle close, so that Robertson's recita- tion was with more than ordinary feeling. He chose those lines in which Spencer gives his personal regrets at waiting so long for the poet laureateship only to see it con- ferred upon another. Robertson said it ex- pressed his feelings exactly. It was this: “Full little knowest thou, that hast not tried, What hell it is in suing long to bide; To lose good days that might be better spent; ‘o a long nights in pensive discontent; ‘o speed the day, to be put back tomor- row; To feed on hope, to pine on fear and sor- row; To fret thy soul with crosses and with cares To eat thy heart with comfortless de- spairs; ’ To fawn, to crouch, to wait, to ride, to run; To spend, to gi to wait, to be undone.” Several epigrams survive the tariff strug- gle. Col. Christy, who is well known about the seer 0 es a = of — grams, one ures during the tariff discussion was to confer an ——_ upon every tariff leader he met. Meeting Senator Brice one day, and referring to the tariff scandals then under investigation, he used an old Chinese epigram: “Tis not the absence of virtue which te Ries shame, but the presence of 8 a eeting Chairman Wilson a little later, the epigram was varied thus: “A bad bill with a good reputation is better than a good bill with a bad reputa- tion, for one man may steal a horse with- out being suspected, while another cannot even look over the hedge.” These are only a few of the innumerable stories and oddities, with which tue long and bitter tariff battle was given a touch of humor. — AMONG THE TREES. Nature’s Camp Grounds at Washing- ton Grove. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 25, 1894. The quiet sequence of camp life has quick- ened pace today, and fervency in spiritual things, as well as activity in the cottages, indicates the earnest preparation that is be- ing made for the only Sabbath of camp meeting. The elder has provided a great feast of spiritual food for tomorrow, and in every cottage home, and in the places of public entertainment, bountiful provision is being made for tomorrow's guests. A large concourse is expected and the only drawback will be found by the country folks, in the dusty thoroughfares that lead here. Within the grove all is cleanliness and gcod order, and the courteous lent of the association, Mr. Gee, and his able co- workers, are untiring in effort to promote comfort in a The water supply is ample, and all the Pumps are in working order. Dr. John Lanahan will preach on Sunday ing. Dr. O. A. Brown will fill the desk at 3 p.m., and the evening sermon will be preached by A. J. Gill. Overflow meetings will be held at different stations within the encampment. There have been nine able sermons ed since the beginning of camp, and the people are mightily in earnest. Rev. Jas. McLaren preached at 11 a.m. yesterday to an attentive audience. The children’s hour grows in interest and pepularity under the skillful management of Dr. Laney and Rev. J. W. Slarrow. Dr. 8S. L. Beiler, vice chancellor of the university, arrived yesterday, and preached @ powerful sermon at the Tabernacle at 3 p.m. The interest in the young people's vesper service increases daily, and the attendance is large. Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale, who is in charge, preached last night to the larg- est congregation of the season. He spoke of the more excellent sacrifice of Abel, be- cause it was by faith. The delightful feat- ure of this service was the singing of Moody hymns by the well-trained choir. a Calling Yet” was called for the second time. Among the late arrivals at the ministers’ lodge are Revs. Ryan and J. H. U. Lemon, who is the preacher of today. Dr. L. T. Widerman willgarrive today. Mrs. J. R. Miller of Rockville and Mrs. Chas. Thomas of Baltimore were visiting friends on the circle yesterday. Miss Irene Harper of Washington is here, the guest of Mrs. Clara Ward. Mr. Fred Moulton came to camp today and is stopping on 2d avenue. Mrs. Wm. Montgomery of Linden arrived yesterday with her children, and are stop- ping with Mrs. W. B. Miller, on 6th avenue. Mrs. H.

Manager Egan Denies That the Rail ways Instigated Destruction of Property. After preliminary questions by the na- ticnal strike commission at Chicago, Com- missioner Wright asked Railway Manager Egan yesterday if, in his official capacity, he had made any effort to settle the strike peaceably. “I did not,” answered the strike manager. “Is the policy of the railroads to settle such troubles by force?” ‘In this case, at least, it was,” the wit- replied frankly, The commissioner then asked the witness for his views regarding measures for the prevention of strikes. Mr. Egan said that he thought all railroad employes above com- mon laborers should be licensed and com- pelled to wear uniforms plainly indicating the positions they held. Such means, he be- lieved, would tend to put reliable, level- headed men in service, and would prevent such troubles as those of the present sum- mer. Commissioner Kernan, by a shrewd series of questions, succeeded ‘In badly mixing up the witness and his theories, and Mr. Egan finally admitted that even with a system of licenses conditions might arise that would necessitate outside assistance or ar- bitration, “Mr, Egan,” said Commissioner Wright, “a witness has stated before us that you used railroad money and employed men to burn and otherwise destroy railroad prop- erty during the strike. Is this true?” The witness grew evidently angry, and straightening up in his seat, said emphatic- ally: “Considering the source from which that testimony came, it seems to me that it should be apparent that it is the most fool- ish rot. I will, however, enter a general de- nial to any and all such stories. I never employed men for such work and can state authoritatively that no one else connected with the General Managers’ Association helped or commanded any one to burn or de- stroy railway properties. The story is ab- surd.” Reach. Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLONIAL BEACH, Va, August 23, 1804, ‘The lawn party held last evening by the ladies of Union Chapel was visited by a large number of people, who by their gen- erosity showed their willingness to help in our efforts to save the chapel from the auctioneer’s hammer. The grounds were tastefully decorated with bunting and Chi- nese lanterns, which, added to the fire- works set off at night, made the scene a very beautiful one. We were visited by the officers of the steamer George Leary, who convinced us, by their liberality, that their hearts and pocketbooks were by no means small. Mrs. Post, during an interval in the danc- ing, which lasted until a late hour, favored those present with a recitation. To Dr, Evans, the proprietor of the hotel, belongs much credit for the successful even- ing. The ladies in charge were: Mrs. John Chancy, Wilson, Hammond, M. Henderson, F, Renshaw, F. Ourand, McGinnis, J. Gould, W. Morsell and G. Cooper; Misses Logan, A. Campbell, B. Wilson, S. Wheeler, E. Henderson, Johnson and M. Yates. About $80 was raised as a result of the labors of these ladies. A very pleasant juvenile party was given this evening by Mrs. Johnson to her three children, Florence, Jean and Ross. Among the invited guests were: Misses Daisy and Helen Cooper, Fame Ourand and May Gensler; Masters Freddie Cooper and Don- ald Gensler. e The children found much amusement in the owl game, Master id Gensler win- ning first prize and Miss Helen Cooper claiming the booby prize. The beautiful trthday cake contained a ring, which was found by Miss Helen Cooper. After various games refreshments were served, enlivened by the merry talk and laughter of the little cnes. Dancing was enjoyed by all until the children, tired out, left for their homes, de- lighted with the pleasant time they had spent. Our nearness to Wakefield, the birth- place of Washington, has caused this to be a very desirable place for “Colonial Beach- ists,” and nearly every day sailboats may be seen with their loads of pleasure seek- ers intent on visiting the early home of our immortal Washington. G. A. O. ——_—— Something Like a Depot. From the New York Sur. The London depot of the Great Eastern railway, the Liverpool street station, has just been enlarged, and is now the largest railway station in the United Kingdom. It occupies an area of fourteen and three- quarters ac has eighteen separate platforms, under ae parallel and one transverse span of gla&@i roofing. The plat- form space for the accommodation and casy circulation of passengers is notably large. Three hundred and seventy-six signal levers are required to control the movements of the trains, 240 operated from one tower and 136 from another, IT MIGHT CAUSE WAR How Europe is Interested in the Asiatic Troubles. MUCH DEPENDS ON THE RUSSIAN CZAR Possibilities of General Hostilities Among European Nations. WHAT SUCH A WAR MEANS It is rather a bold assertion that it is the persona: will and wish of the Czar of Rus- sia alone that stands between Europe and the catastrcphe of a general European war at this time, but that is the opinion of many who have studied the situation. So many changes have been made in the Rus- sian army and so much hard work has been done that the officers are really anxious for @ war in order to test the value of their work, and if it was put to a vote whether or not to interfere in the Japan-China war the decision rendered by Russian military people would be in favor of doing so. Such an act would, of course, not be countenanced by the other powers, and hence there would be a general European war. The possibilities of Russia taking such @ stand are many. Russia has long desired Corea or Japan as its own possession, and her efforts to obtain a footing in the latter country were watched with considerable in- terest as far back as the last century. Her possessions in Asia, her seizure and occu- pation of some of the Kurile Islands, which belonged to Jupan, and her colony at Sitka, on American territory, have placed her at times on ev side of the Japanese em- = but the south. The acquisition of japan would make her mistress of the Pacific, and would enable her to control its growing commerce. there comes the announcement of recent date by Russian ofticials at Shanghai that if Russian trade suffers too severely by the present trouble Russia will intervene, and such an interven- tion will not be in the way of an amicable settlement, but in efforts for conquest. Fol- lowing this come the differences between England and Russia on the same question, and it is naturally expected that England will protect her interests against any act of the great czar. Englan: @ France. The extraordinary policy of the French government toward Siam is stiil rankling in the hearts of the subjects of Great Britain and has attracted the attention of the world. Lord Resebery at the time seid that at the moment when the Siamese gov- ernment acceded to the tremendous de- mands of the French war was more im- minent between England and France than it had been for seventy-five years. It also generally conceded that if the Siamese had held out against France, and the French had shelled Bangkok, whose com- mercial interests are almost wholly En- glish, British guns would have answered the Freach assault. This Siamese question affected the interests also of China, so that an alliance between England and China, and Russia and France, is to be expected. The reasons of this are that from a commercial point of view Great Britain shares in the discomfiture of Siam. The supremacy of her counscls at the Siam- ese court is threatened, her trade with the provinces east of the Mekong will be ex- Pposei to French differential duties, while west of that river her merchants, who have heretofore almost monopolized the ex- ternal commerce of the country, will meet with serious interference. It thus adds to the difficulties of British administration in India, which include the necessity of ever keeping a watchful eye upon the advances of Russia from the west and the further incumbrance of guarding also on the east against the encroachments of a power at present allied with Rursia. Of course thi was all settled by England giving up strip of territory belonging to British Bur- mah and Frat ce foregoing her claims to a portion of the northern Siamese territory. Notwithstandirg this settlement the eyes of the English have been opened to the real state of feeling of the French toward them, which, for a time, seemed to have sub- sided, and whatever good feeling there was in England toward France is now gone. For years the English, while lending some support to the Italians in certain emergen- cies, have carefully held aloof from the triple alliance, and ah important element in this policy was the desire of Mr. Glad- stone and the liberal leaders to preserve amiable relations with France. It is ap- parent that the revelation of the bitterness of the French toward them has produced scmething of a shock and the English un- derstand that a war with France is a possi- bility, as the French are beginning to cer- tainly assume a very aggressive attitude toward the British kingdom. ‘The English know that the French are argry because England has obtained con- trol of the Suez canal, because England is alone in control of Egypt, because England is dominant in the Mediterranean, because the French are jealous of English power in Africa and in the orient, and because En- elish and French civilization are still in conflict in Newfoundland and in Canada. On the other hand the English believe that the great French navy is intended to cope with and break down the navy of Eng- land. Last year the French expended over $53,000,000 on their navy. This is a large sum for France to outlay for naval im- provement, and is certainly a sign of the times, showing a possible war. France and Italy. Italy is the next country whieh will bear watching in event of warlike preparations. France and Italy are at odds, and both countries have certainly reason for griev- ances. Has not France lost her president and popular executive at the hands of an Italian? And did not France previously | have the stein upon her name of a massa- cre of fifty peaceable Italians? Terrible, in- deed, must have been the feeling that could lead a French mob of a thousand men at Aigues-Mortes to kill a peaceable body of Italians, and it is even more a significant fact that the French troops were not far away. This massacre occurred on the eve of a general election and the event shows that tne desire is too strong in France to kill an Italian for the government to un- dertake to suppress it. The question arises: Why such fierceness tovard the Italians, who certainly seem to be avoiding war as much as pessidle? Well, are not the Italians the allies of the Ger- mars, and has not this alliance preserved the peace of western Europe for more than twenty years, and is it not against Germany that all French hatred is directed? But one thing has prevented this Euro- pean conflict, and that has been the action of Russia im not yet formulating an aili- ance with France, With Russia as an ally France is ready to meet all the rest of Europe in arms. The czar has been biding his time, waiting for a time when such an alliarce could possibly be more profitably consummated. And now is the time. Now is the time when such an alliance will aid the czar to secure control of the Pacific by the conquest of Corea or Japan, and the recent course of events makes it more than ever probable that when war comes, as it | must come—for nothing else will satisfy either France or Russia—all the great na- tions of Europe will be brought into it, and that Russia will fight out her quarrels with Germany and Austria and England at the same time that France is trying to settle her scores with Germany, Italy and Eng- land. Denmark will likely fall in line with Russia and France, while Belgium, Rou- mania and Bulgaria will doubtless be found fighting with the other great combination. The Toulon Festivities, To furthes add to the evidence of certain European alliances attention is called to the Toulon festivities. In July, 1891, a fleet of French vessels visited Russia at Cron- stadt and were received with a great deal of display, and following this was the visit of the Russian fleet to Toulon, when as- sertions of amity were declared with con- siderable demonstration. It is useless to describe at length the detalis of the actions of the occasion. From the arrival of the Russian squadron to its departure, the time was taken up with an almost ceaseless round of festivities. But perhaps the most | significant feature of the meeting was the 4epth to which the popular sentiment stirred, as manifested in the spontaneous | and uncontrollable outbursts of populs welecme. Then at the time of departure there the telegrams exchanged by President ©, ready uniting the two countries and will contribute, I hope, to the strengthening of the general peace—the object of their ef- forts and their most constant wishes.” In conch his reply France's executive sald: “It marks at the same time a pro- found faith in the beneficial influence which can be exerted together by two great na- tions devoted to the cause of peace.” Now, as even more significant, was the entertaining of the British squadron at the Italian ports of Taranto and Spezzia. It is thought that the visit of the British feet was designed to counteract the many ru- mors of alarm which the Toulon gathering had caused, as well as to serve as a gentle reminder that in matters affecting the status quo in the Mediterranean England was still alive to her interest and prepared to act. In addition to this act of alliance between Italy and England is the attention given by Germany to the commercial con- ventions inaugurated two years ago with Austria-Hungary, Italy, Belgium and Swits- erland. What a War Would Mean. After considering the possibility of a gen- eral European war it is interesting to look at the probable result, and to the relative strengih of the different nations. There have been frequent discussions as to the value of the Italian soldiers, but when the Italians get a chance to square ac- counts with the French there will be no need for discussion. Italy will put 550,000 splendidly armed soldiers into the field, and it will only take two weeks to get them together, and it will require at least man for man for France to take care of them. in the event of a war it will be somewhat difficult to get at the number of souls engaged, for the number of available soldiers is so great that it is merely a ques- tion of tion facilities as to how many men will be in the first engagements. At any rate there could be 5,000,000 soldiers in actual movement before the firing of the first gun, and before action will have re- sulted in a settlement of differences over 20,000,000 men may report for duty. The French have no Napoleon, but they have military and naval leaders who are by no means such weaklings as surrounded Napoleon. The Germans, with whom war is the most practical of all human affairs, un- derstand the difference in respect to French leaders, and the Military Wochenbiatt, one of the German military publications, has recently been discussing the question of whether the French army has lost any of its keenness. It appears from this publica- French will not hug the fortresses on the eastern frontier, but will use for mobilization purposes and aim to in- vade the German frontier, if possible. As to equipment, the French are certainly well advanced. The artillery has rapid-fire guns and melinite shelis, and the latest improved rifle of small caliber is in use. Then, if England is drawn in the contest, there will be great times on the sea. A French comparison between the floating strength of the various nations was effected by grouping the ships i. typical squadrons of three battle ships, two cruisers, one tor- pedo possesses 22, Italy 6, Germany 5, Spain 3, Turkey 3, Denmark 2 and Greece, Holland and Sweden and Nor- way each 1. By this system of compari- son and Russia can set eighteen typical squadrons against the fifteen of the triple alliance, but that, with England, the tr-ple alliance car count upon thirty-seven Squadrons, against the twenty-nine of all the other European powers put together. Of the French annual maneuvers carried on upon a tremendous scale in the Mediter- renean, and concerning the fleet mancuvers in the channel, one <f our naval writes home: “No doubt you have been posted regarding the movements of the British and French fleets last month. I aave seen the two, and 1 must say the general opinion naval officers, and I fully concur with them, is that the French have better organization for battle and concentration than the Brit- ish. The movements of their torpedo boats are perfect.” France, indeec, would have not the slight- esc chance of winning a campaign if it were not for Russia, which seeks an outlet at Constantinople, and dcems the suppression of France enough to make it impossible for a Russian warship to ever pass Bosphorus. Russia has Pp within the last year for such an event. In addition to the combination of Italy, Germany and Austria, China will join her fate, while with the mcntioned Japan will put an excellent navy in co-operation. —__—_ A POSSIBLE MISSING LINK. historic New Yorker the True Tree Climber. From the New York World. Among the important and interesting Papers read before the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science in Brooklyn last week was that of Prof. W. H. Sherzer, before the Geological Society. This threw a new light on the Darwinian theory and raised a question as to whether the original Americans were not tree-climbers. In fact, Prof. Sherzer pointed out from the skeleton of an original American that the mar must have ascended trees like electric ght linemen. This skelegon was recently dug up upon the shore of Canandaigua Lake, ir. this state, und is of remote an- Uiquity. Beside it were two incomplete skeletons and a sacrificial fireplace. The skeleton of this prehistoric New lorker was different from that of any man now walk- ing about. “The tibiae” (the shinbones), said Prof. Sherzer, “show the peculiar flattening char- acteristic of prehistoric man, the lateral compression of the feraur (thigh) near the Giscal and proximal extremitics and the perforation of the humerus (upper arm) vpon the left side. These are simian char- acteristics, and represent departures from the human skeleton, and are normally pres- ent in the higher apes. This man, in fact,” said Prof. Sherzer, “must have closely re- sembied an ape. Whether or not he bad ape blood, and w in fact, the missing link connecting man with monkeys, could not be definitely ascertained. It is certain, however, that he led an ape life, and climbed trees and performed other feats like the monkey. Was he the missing link? That is the question raised by Prof. Sher- zer’s description. He then went on to say: “Neglecting the theory of genetic de- scent, these three characteristics, along with the relatively greater length of arms, the f the foreamum magnum and the m of the pelvis, were accounted for on the principle of analogous variation. This, in effect. is that subject man and apes to the same life habits, and similar osteo- logical modifications must arise. The once common habit which is believed to be capa- ble of leaving such deep impress upon the skeleton is tree-climbing.” Prof. Sherzer then went on to describe how this prehis- torie Zarbee climbed trees ape-fashion, as shown by his skeleton, now broughi to light, and how the habit changed even the shape of bones in the skeleton. He was convinced that this find was a most important lnk connecting man with the apes. ———-_ —-see . CONSULAR AGENT HATCH’S ARREST. British Foreign Office Reccives Information of It. The British foreign office has received confirmation of the arrest at Bluetields of Mr. Hatch, the consular agent of Great Britain. The British government is in communication with the government of Nicaragua in regard to the recent occur- rences at Bivefields. At the United States embassy in London yesterday it was stated that no informa- tion had been received there for three weeks ‘n regard to the troubles in the Mosquito territory. Mr. James R. Roose- velt, the secretary of the United States embassy, thought that the action of the Nicaraguan government in arresting Mr. Hatch was extraordinary. Gen.
