Now FOR the facts The first line OF the
American army was composed of Campbells
Virginians, Winston's North Carolina rife
men, Lees legion, Lynch's rifemen, Kirk
woods company of Delaware troops, Wash
inrtonis cavalry and Singleton's battery of
four six-pounders. Most of the North Caro-
Eniacs had been in service only six weeks
The first line was placed in thick belt of
woods. 400 yards east OF Horsepen creek, and
directly across the New Garden road, in rear
of a rail fence The British forces advanced
along this road, and could plainly be seen for
half a mile or more Crossing Horsepen
creek. they formed and advanced to the at
tack in regular order, up quite gradual
slope, their artillery, posted beyond, firing as
the advance was made This artillery fire,
OF course, disconnected the raw militia The
British pressed forward until they reached

less than 100 yards Of this first line Then
Col. Arthur Forbis, of North Carolina, tax

shot and killed an English captain. Forbis
had eighty men, armed with squirrel rifles.
The British and their Hessian allies con-

some fed. But of the i,050 only $50 fed,

vIgu oirIn." oenauor ruimer wants every
foreigner who comes TO the United States to
bring a consular certificate showing that be
is fitted to become a citizen Of the United
States, and that he is not sure to find his way
Immediately into the poor houses or the
prisons.
One of the most noted men Of the west is at
Washington. He looks like patriarch. He
stood on the steps OF the Riggs house last
night. A big 80 pound weight of a man, his
broad, beefy shoulders held up rusty over
coat, draped about him with a careless air.
His double buttoned frock coat was unbut-
toned at the front, and his vest was not free
from dust His boots, for this patriarch
wore boots, had not been blacked since morn
ing, and his high collar was wilted down with
the work of the day. Out OF this collar rose
a fringe OF iron gray silver strands, much
like the beard OF Horace Greeley, and this
fringe formed the setting of a face not I'M
like that of the late editor Of The Tribune.
Eyes as blue as the skies of June looked out
over iron spectacles, and as much of II high
forehead as could be seen under the No. 10
plug hat, which was pushed down over it,
bulged out with brains This patriarch had
a kind look and friendly word for his nc
quaintances as they passed by, and every one
knew him. You will recognize him, too,
when mention his name, for he has been
often spoken Of as presidential candidate.
He has been in the United States senate, and
he has been possible cabinet officer and
supreme court judge for years back. He be
gan life as Il saddler, studied law between
the stitches of the harness, and pulled his
way into practice which is now worth sl5,-
900 to $4,000 year His name is Joseph E.
Mcdonald, and his state is Indiana. He tells
me that he is out Of politics for good, that he
will never again seek an office, and that he
likes President Cleveland from in to out
Just back of this big patriarch stood a
tight little fellow of 100 pounds, whose face
evidenced more culture than that Of Uncle
Joe. He was quite as noted in his way as
Mcdonald, and with half the flesh and bone
and muscle. and with his brain packed into
half the compass, he has made his mark. A
look at him would not suggest his career
No one would imagine that that full beard Of
an English cut had turned from straw to
silver while watching the rise and fall of
stocks in Wall street, nor would one think
that those kind, soft eyes were keen enough
to see the prospective .'bulling" Of Western
Union or the bearing Of Northern Pacific.
You would rather take him for litterateur
or a gentleman of leisure. He might be a
poet, but you. would never make him a
broker. And still he is both, for his name
is Edmund Clarence Stednsn, who has made
and lost a for. une in Wall street, who can
make living by writing poetry, and who
is one OF the best friends the young and
struggling writers Of the country have ever
known. THOMAS J TODD.

vlle priJisn, anu particularly the HeSs,an
line, advanced, they received n very de-
structive Gre, which they returned and then
rushed up, intending to drive the militia ct
the point of the bayonet, but the Americans
clubbed their rifles and drove them back.
The British then retreated about forty yards,
when they reloaded aud fired again, intend
ing, as before, 10 rush up, force their way
over the fence behind which the Americans
were posted, and get where they could use
the bayonet with advantage; but by this
time the rifemen were ready for them and
gave them another CALLING fire, which made
them recoil and threw them into some con-
fusion.
But though the British regulars had gone
over and overwhelmed the militia's first line,
the latter were not beaten. The British, as
they pressed through the skirt Of roads occu-
pied by the militia, received a heavy fire in
the rear The militia were scattered here
aud there, and as the British passed they fired
on them, killing many. The effect of the
first fire, at the advance of the British, is
thus described by Capt. Dugald Stewart, of
the Seventy-first Highlanders: ''In the ad-
vance wo received very deadly fire from
the Irish line of the American army. One
huh NhC NAA ehHb SESS-
There ought TO be pretty large tumulus
where our men were buried" As to the con-
test in the woods, after the British had
passed the American line, Col. Darlington,
in his BATTLES of the American Revolution"
says that 1t became so warm that the British
found men behind trees on all sides of them,
and when Tarleton made a charge he found
that British officers and men had been cap
tured in some numbers. 1t should be remem-
bered that the militia had no bayonets, and
their pluck in thus firing at least two volleys
and twice standing a charge of crack British
troops is remarkable.
This, then, is the true story of the behavior
of the first line, though it has gone into
history that the North Carolina militia
waited the attack until the enemy got within
14O yards, when part of them began to fire,
but the greater part left without firing at
all; that the general and field officers did ali
they could to induce them to stand their
ground, but that neither the advantages Of
the position nor any other consideration
could induce them to stay.

which have been highly rated by competent
critics. Flores has represented Ecuador in
Lima, Santiago, Washington, Madrid and
Berlin. In the diplomatic field his efforts
have always been il the interest of COM
merce.
That territory which is row called Ecua-
dor, and was formerly Comprised in the
kingdom Of Quito, after the conquest OF the
Incas was made a presidency Of the vice
royalty of Peru. and was under Spanish rule
from 1888 to 1922. In 1909 il revolted, and
finally achieved its independence in 1922, at
the battle of Pichincha. Its territory was in
corporated into the republic of Columbia,
but in 1881, on the disruption Of the republic,
it became an independent republic, under the
name of Ecuador. Unfortunately, however,
like most OF its sister states in South Amer
ics, il was in a state of civil war for twenty
years In 1852 Gen. Juan Jose Flores headed
a revolutionary expedition against Ecuador.
This was the beginning OF the operations of
the two Flores. The history Of the little re-
pablic consists mainly Of wars and rumors
Of war, with an occasional earthquake, in
one of which QS6S $4,000 persons are said to
have perished.
