General Lee came down from Glasgow TO at

The reporter here suggested that possibly
General Lee had formed an opinion of the

Governor. with merry twinkle in his eye,

We were taken 10 the old palace, in the

Two huge cheetahs. carefully muzzled. used
for hunting bucks, were on the palace steps.
The regalia of Baroda is valued at $1,000. 900.
We We're first shown the jewels worn 10y the
Maharaiah on State occasions.
These consist OF gorgeous collar OF about
500 diamonds. some of them az big as walnuts,
arranged in FIVE rows. surrounded by top
and bottom row Of emeralds of the same size;
the pendant of famous diamond called the
star Of the Deccan;" an aigrette to match IS
worn in the turban: then followed strings OF
pearls Of perfect roundness. graduated from
the size Of n pea TO that of Il large marble;
wondrous rings, necklaces. clusters of sap
phires, and rubies as big as grapes.
The greatest marvel OF all Is "a carpet about
10 by feet, made entirely of strings or pure
and colored pearls, with great central and
corner circles of diamonds. This carpet took
three years in making. and cost 100000.

CLEVELAND, o., May 23.-The weather here
to-day was quite cool, but $500 people saw
the game between the home team and the
Bostons.
There was quite bit of excitement on ac-
count of creased ball getting into the game,
which was finally thrown out of the field by
Doyle who was threatened with fine by
Umpire Powers.
Nash got tangled up with the umpire and
the latter called policeman to eject Nash,
but finally reented. The feature of the game
was Clarkson's extraordinarily poor pitching.
The home team gave him a pounding. and
he repeatedly gave men bases on balls. Score:

FIGHTING A RIGHT-OF-WAY SUIT.
Lake Washington Property Owners
Want the Reit Line to Paw.

Clarence NJ. Bagley and others, who own
valuable water front on Lake Washington,
for the condemnation of right-of-way
through which the Northern Pacific and
Puget Sound Shore railroad brought suit
last week in the superior court, answered
yesterday and stated that the railroad did
not want the land for public use, but for
their own private use, and that the land
was not necessary or requisite for the con-
structi0n, maintenance or operation of the
railway: that the condemnation proceed
ings brought by these companies are an
effort to take away valuable water frontage
on the shore of Lake Washington at a
much lower price than its actual worth;
that this condemnation would injure the
land and rights of the defendants fully
$1,000, and $4,000 would no more than
compensate them for the loss of this land,
which is of great value, both present and
prospeetive; that the riparian rights of
the defendants will be destroyed and dam
aged $4,000 by this suit.
They ask that the action be dismissed or
that they be paid $4,000 for this property
