One of the highest yachting authorities hers, a gentleman who is in constant touch with the leading mem- bers of the Royal Yacht Sqnadron, inform- ed a representative of the Associated Press today that Lord Dunraven’s action was greatly regretted and generally condemned by yachtsmen.

The Globe this afternoon says: ‘The Amcrican feeling over the matter 19 not wholly unwarranted. To raise the question ¢, when It fs impossible to verify or prove it, is hardly politic or sportsman- The Westminster Gazette also criticises Lord Dunraven; but the Pall Mall Gazette defends him. The St. James Gazette sa: ‘To bring up this deliberate charge of foul play weeks afterward is altogether unfair, and it is deplorably injudi us and unpatriotic, and will make more bad blood in the United States than half a dozen Corinto or Ven- ezuela incidents.” Ss T TO A REFEREE.

The new men are in for work. There will be no internal jeal- ousies. They have organized solely to fight the common enemy. The company will have no social features; it is intended to be a fire department alone. That business is meant is evidenced by a united move to be made in a few days toward securing proper facilities to fight a fire with. A march will be made cn the Commisstorers. Tenleytown has at present only a reel and 700 feet of hose. There is no steam engine at all, and plug pressure is all the force obtainable. As- sistant Fire Chief Kurtz says that under favorable conditions this pressure will throw a stream eighteen feet. At Tenleytown, however, this result can only be attained below the village. The elevation in the town proper prevents the throwing of a stream, according to Mr. Willlam Britt, scarcely as high as a lamp post. In fact, difficulty has been experienced in filling the road watering cart at the post office, the section where the houses are thickest, al- most continuous in construction from the Grant road northward to the Brookville road on one side, and from the Grant road to a point within a few hundred yards of the District line, on the other. The present fighting facilities are char- acterized as “toys.” They would produce a “fizzle” at a fire, it is sald. A prominent property holder in the village says the pres- ence there of steam facilities has become a glaring necessity. Tenleytown, it is claimed, has a population now of over 2,000 and from 600 to 8 houses in the Tenleytown terri- tory. The present reel and hose, even un- der an cighteen-foot pressure, could assist in the extinguishment only of the houses {m- mediately on the road. Those on the side- roads would suffer total destruction. The citizens claim that the importance of the place demands an engine house and police station combined. Every prisoner ar- rested or every man injured is dragged three miles to Georgetown, sometimes on an elec- tric car, at other times in wagons or on foot. Died Old in Years.

Palmer Cox Held a Great Reception on the White Lot. It seemed as if every school boy and girl in the city was on the White Lot yes- terday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock to attend the open-air reception of Mr. Palmer Cox, the author of the famous “Brownie” books. Before Mr. Cox's appearance Mr. Leon Mayer, the manager of the “Brownie” company, came on the sceneswith a‘ huge bundle of paper balloons and started the fun by sending up the hot-air ships, each one laden with an order for two reserved seats for the “Brownie” performance at the Lafayette and Mr. Cox's latest book on those interesiing little people. The balloons sailed up and away, however, and most of them took the direction of Rich- mond, so that few in the crowd on the White Lot benefited by the white and pink bearers of good tidings. About a dozen were sent up and they made a fine sight as they rose far above the top of the monument and faded away into thin air. One went to the water at the Long bridge and was secured by an enthusiastic youngster, who jumped from the bridge, not ecring for the cold bath so long as he obtained this prize. Mr. Cox's appearance was the signal for a noisy welcome from the children. He was crowded and pushed this way and that, but he kept his good humor and had a pleasant word for all the little ones that were so anxious to sce the “Brownie” man. One little fellow in particular el- bowed his way to Mr. Cox's side after the first rush was over and told that gentle- man that he had a riddle that he wanted to ask him. The little man could hardly speak plain English, and as soon as he had propounded the question he yelled out in a delighted way loud enough for every one within twenty feet to h the moon. the is “The moon, ” It subsequently developed that question which he asked Mr. Cox was hat was not three weeks old when in was born and is not five weeks old now?” When the last balloon had salled away Mr. Mayer took Mr. Cox by the arm and introduced him to the crowd of children and told each one of them to come and shake him by the hand. Mr. Cox lookec rather dubious at this, but before he could remonstrete he was besieged by a. crowd of little ones that almost hid him from sight, ard it was with difficulty that he managed to ake his way to his carriage.

Statements Made in the First Annual Report of Maj. Gen. Miles. Major General Miles, commanding the army. has made his first annual report to the Secretary of War. It is mainly devoted to an exposition of the de- fenseless condition of our seacoast and the measures essential to its protection. Gen. Miles expresses the opinion that the United States in its present condition is practically at the mercy of a fourth-rate neval power, which could bombard the ports of the country and obtain from them an in- demnity which would not only lift its na- tional debt, but which would enable It so to increase its sea power as to make It a very difficult matter for us to drive it away. Present Seaboard Forts Obsolcte. He has made an estimate that cur country might be placed under an indemnity to the extent of billions of dollars. He has pre- viously pointed out that the indemnity which a foreign power might levy need not necessarily be in the shape of money, for, he has said, the staple products of the country would be just as valuable to any foreign nation. He points out that forts on the sea- board are obsolete. He says that New York Is not properly fortified, and that he hopes steps will be taken immediately to hasten the work on fortifications on ail the coast, so that at any time we may be ready for war. He has sug- gested that within four years much of this work should be completed. At the present rate of progress it would probably require fifteen or twenty years to put our coasts in Proper condition for defense. Gen. Miles estimates that it will cost over a hundred million dollars to properly fortify our extensive coast line and our northern frontier. This includes a thorough system of defense for the Pacific coast, us weil as the lakes. More Enlisted Men Required. Gen. Miles advocates a large increase in the enlisted force, and a reorganization of the artillery and infantry branches. He says in his report that the present standing army is entirely too smail for the vast in- terests it has to protect in event of labor outbreaks or civil insurrection, and that the present limit of 25,000 should be increased by about 10,000 more. Gen. Miles suzgests that for every 2,000 inhabitants there should be one soldier. ‘This would give a regular army of 35,000, assuming that the population of the country is about 70,800,000. General Miles believes that the enlisted man as the representative soldier and through him the people at large should be brought into closer relations with the serv- ice. The present law offers little encourage- ment to the enlisted man, but General Miles thinks that all who take the competitive examination for premotion to the commis- sioned grade, and who fail of uppointment because of ‘lack of adequate vacancles, should, if they retire from the army, be ap- pointed sec lieutenants, without pay, where they would have in civil life the title of an officer of the regular service, and in case of war would be available to o+-—_____ Columbia Baptist Association.

From the Phil clpida Pablic Led: A few days ago an engine which had been left standing on the Horseshoe Curve of the Pennsylvania railroad at Kitanning Point, Va., while the engineer and_fire- man got off to look at a freight wreck, ran away. The fact was telegraphed ahead, and the runaway locomotive was given a clear track through this city. While down the yard about twenty-five mile hour Yard Conductor Henry Cressw the risk of his life, managed to jum’ on, and stopped the engine before it had done any damage.

There were acres and acres literal- ly covered with the nutritious and delicious fungi, which were of astonishing size.

A most remarkable exhibition of intelli- gence ina hog is shown on the farm of Frank McKenzie, in Twin township. Re- cently Mr. McKenzie turned a bunch of hogs into an orchard to eat the fallen fruit, and several times his attention was attracted by the peculiar antics of a large porker, which stood up on his hind legs under a particular tree, a limb of which reached close to the ground with a heavy burden of fine apples. McKenzie sought a position for better ob- servation and discovered that the hog was in the habit of standing on its hind legs and, grasping the limb of the tree betwe its front feet, giving it a vigorous shaking until the coveted frult fell to the ground, when it would scamper off to secure the ward of its ingenious efforts.
