i'm the Army

OMAHA, Sept. 9.-At 6:10 o'clock this
evening, covered with mud and worn out
with the fatigue incident to a COZ mile
journey, Lieutenant Donovan of the Sew
enteenth Infantry, stationed at Fort Rus
sell, arrived in this city on his bicycle,
having left Cheyenne at o'clock Monday
morning. He made the trip for the pur-
pose of demon trating to the War Depart
ment the efficiency of the wheel on a long
march. He had his wheel rugged up for
the purpose Of carrying the usual euuipace
of soldier in the field, which includes
three days raiions, a Springfield rife, a
Colts revolver. canteen, blankets, dog
tent and thirty rounds of ammunition,
Re consumed five days and a half of
actual travelling time. He expected to
arrive yesterday. but bad roads prevented.
He reported at once to General Brooke.
That officer wss much pleased with the
demonstration OF the utility of the wheel
for courier purposes and will so recommend
to. the War Department and advocate a
special corps of bicycle riders for each
post. Donovan will make detailed re-
port to the department of his Journey.
In conversation Lieutenant Donovan said
he made no SPECIAL effort to cover the COO
odd miles in better time than the infantry

have reduced the time one-third If he had
desired, but this stage of the experiment
did not demand such fatiguinR exercise.

MADE TWO BLUNDERS.
Comment on the Life of the Count
of Paris.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-All the newspapers
this morning contain sympathetic articles
on the death of the Count If Paris. They
ali agree that the event Is of no political
importance. The Times says: ''If there
is any political significance at all in the
Counts death it will only serve to exhibit
the Royalist party in France as quantite
negligeahle."
The paper adds that "the first and fore
most cause Of the weakness of the Royal.
ist par was the so-cslled fusion of the
parties so radically antagonistic to each
other as the Legitimists and Orleanists.
This was the great blunder of the Count
OF Paris career and displayed political
incapacity. His second great blunder
was The discredited and disastrous alliance
with the vulgar conspiracy of BOulangis sm.
Looking at both blunders dispassona, e
critic must pronounce the Count not only
Incapable but unScrupulous; man who,
In spite of mis- high personal character and
his private life, could stoop to employ base
means and ignobls to gain, not the welfare
OF the nation, but his own personal dyn-
astic ends. We have no reason 10 assume
that the son is a better man than his
