Trip Abroad Developed a Distaste
For American Institutions.

From the New York Herald.I
The American who goes abroad for
brief business trip and returns so Angli-
cized that not even the current coin of
his own country is any longer familiar
to hin1-not to speak of the profound
dfstaste developed for her social institu-
tionS-1S daily becoming a more usual and
ridiculous entity. On the last arrival of
the Umbria a rare specimen of this par
ttcular genius came ashore and was met
by humble employee of his business
hrm, who promptly began a hustle after
the baggage. The traveller was a young
man about thirty, wore a yachting cap
and q monocle, and Shoudered a newly
made accent, which nearly lifted the en-
ployee off his feet
'Chawles,' he said, "cawn't you get
keb and shift those blooming traps on the
top. L cawn't do with these beastly
brawsses for the luggage; Demnable in

smile. Shall l give him fifty cents, sir?"

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Battles Over Again at Madi-
son, Iowa.

Madison. Ia, Aug. 4-Between 1000 and
5,00O people listened to General John B.
Gordon's lecture on THE Last Days Of the
Confederacy," General Fairchild, excom-
nander of the G. A K, and present nat
ioral commander of the Loyal Legion
was to have introduced General Gordon,
who is at the head of the Confederate
Veterans union, but his physical condition
obliged Mr.. Fairchild to remain at home
and he sent a letter of regret.
General Gordon started with Gettysburg
as the highwater mark of the war. He
described the battle and told incidents of
the hight. The story of picking up of Cen
eral Barlow a major-general in the Union
army, was graphically told. The impress
son the northern women made on Gordon
was noted. A contrast between northern
and southern women was made. The hard
ships of the south were clearly portrayed.
The citizens around Petersburg and Rich
mond in that last grand rally Of the con-
federacy, the starvation of the southern
troops the odds they fought against and
the final surrender at Appomomax court
house, followed by the meeting between
General Gordon and General Sherman
were all recalled. This was the last day
of the assembly.

CALLED ON GRESHAM.
Wideman Has Conference With the
Secretary.

Washington, D. c., Aug. Al A.
Wideman. one of the three Hawaiian
royalist commissioners, today had half an
hours Interview with Secretary Ores
ham. The call was purely informal The
secretary questioned the commissioner
closely as to the authority by which he
appeared; what the commission was doing
here and as to the Hawaiian affairs gen
orally.
To all these questions Mr.. Wideman re-
sponded freely and among other things
dlsabused the secretary's mind of the
impression that the commission was
seeking to influence Congress in the ex-
queens favor. The interview was char
acterized by the best of feeling. AS
Wideman had been given to understand
that the commission cannot be dealt with
ground for the presumption that the mis-
sion is at an end.

AmicnbIe Settlement of the Blue
fields Troubles Looked For.
New Orleans, Aug. 4-The Associated
Press correspondent at Bluefields writes
July %, that the outlook for an AMIGA
bic settlement is very promising. Both
the English and American naval COM
manders have written to General Ca
bezas, protesting against an attack up
on an unfortified town and announcing
their intention to protect foreign inter
ests.
The situation is still further simplif-
ed in Chief Clarence's disavowal of the
recent revolution, stating it was the
work of his people, and that he only
consented to govern as there was no
regular government on hand and it
was absolutely necessary to preserve
the peace.
While this claim is not borne out, it
has had the effect of withdrawing even
moral support of the Americans. Clar-
ence also disclaims that he is having
any arms sent to him from any quar-
fer

He was in the hibit of keeping odd

HIS WATERLOO.

He was great, strong giant man.
A modern Hercules,
Sqcn as whose looks proclaim they can
Do anything with ease.
whose wondrouS lineaments reveal
ouch strength as lies in bands of steel
And he had wrestIed far and near
The strong men of the land
And made them one and all to fear
Before his strength to stand,
And he would deal such deadly blow
AS 1T would lay a bullock low.
He sighed for mightier foes to fight
That he could test his strength.
But, oh, this man of wondrous might.
He met his fate at length!

To open, worked week and died.

COAL AT $3.50 A TON.
Cheap coal for the people of San
Francisco would be one of the effects
of government control of the Pacific
railroads. The following letter appeals
TO The good sense of householders. 1t
comes from Fred Trimmer, a member
of the chember of commerce of Salt

The majority report of the House
committee on the funding bill, as re-
ported by the press, is made to say
that California representatives, oppos-
ing, could not say what traffic the
government could find for the Central
Pacific road if the road were fore
closed.
Permit me to point out that one
stem alone would earn interest on the
first bonds of the road, viz, coal. A
million tons of coal could probably be
shipped into your state from these
mountains and sold to householders at
retail for $3.50 per ton-not poor coal.
Stacked out, but the very finest Of
coal.
In Kansas, at distance of 1000 miles
from the mines, they sell coal mined
$50 miles east of here for Sc per ton to
householders after making that long
haul and with no back freight.
A single fact like this proves the
whole argument of haulage.
