IN case the boastful Mukhtar Pasha is com
pelled to leave Trebigne and flee with his
army into Austrian territory, Herzegovina will

The season for camp meetings has now fairly
opened. In recent years this class of religious
exercises has been fully organized, and as now
conducted they mostly preserve all the good
and avoid all the bad features which formerly
characterized them. The correspondence on
our ninth page describes the meetings at Shelter
Island and Ocean Grove.

Although Sitting Bulls plan of campaign is
as vet a matter of conjecture, it is quite clear
that he has the alternative Of retiring to a
very strong position in the Big Horn Noun

troops may have to encounter

Lord Dcrby's views on the Eastern question
are clearly stated in the official papers, sum
morized in our London letter. What said

is the drift and Object of British policy 7 "
The British Foreign Minister replied, in
effect that he was disposed to let the fight go
On, and give no advice until either side was
beaten. This cold, passive policy Lord Derby
still pursues but he does so probably as much
from necessity as from choice.

The death Of Commodore Vanderbilt has
long been anticipated, and its effect upon
stocks has been largely "discounted," as the
Street would say. Nevertheless the. false an
nouncement that he was no more, which was
ndustriously circulated yesterday morning
about the time Wall-st. began business, caused
great excitement in all quarters of the town.
The effect on the Vanderbilt stocks was not
very depressing, the fall proving not more
than one and bals per cent. In the other
business. club, and political circles the rum0r
furnished the principal topic OF conversation
of the day. Thousands of persons visited tue
house 10 make inquiries of those stationed IN
front to keep away the crowd, and there was
constant stream of relatives and intimate
friends of the family passing the doorway.
The news of Mr.. Nauderbilts death caused a
far greater excitement than the announce
ment of the death Of either Mr..
Astor or Mr.. Stewart, but this is
readily accounted for by the fact that
Vanderbilt was better known and lived more
public life. They were known to limited
number of intimaics nearly everybody ycster-
day had to tell some original or secondhand
anecdote or remini3ccnce of the Commodore.
Some OF the best of these are retOld III other

il We're a long business to recall the many

It must not be supposed, however, that
horses " bred in America" have never
made their mark in this country; the
names of Prioress, Starke and Optimist
occur nj once TO prove they have done SO.
In 1917 Priorcss was the heroine of a dead
heat with two other animals. FL IIakim

in lS5S she won the great y Iorkshire hand

the Goodwood stakes, and in 1861 the
Goodwood cup and the Brighton stakes.
In 1861 Optimist Won the Ascot Stakes.

Antelope smoking in a tent pitched near
the window of his house.
Why living in n tent, Long Antelope,

Long Antelope smiled.
