City Editor Cdlt-DEAR SIR: Much attention
has been called TO our fair by the many novel
features which the management has provided
Tor the entertainment of the public.
The idea has gone abroad that the cake walk
was re cent conception. Tnis is not str city
true. The writer has contem plated a cake
walk from the very inception OF the fair, and
for that purpose, and as chairman of the COM
mittee on EXHIBITS endeavored to have sus-
pended bandstand, SO constructed that the
exercises could be held i'm mediatey under it,
without any inconvenience to the musicians
or hindrance to the spectators. This idea was
not adopted, but the objoc was bccomp lished
in another way-by making Two stands with a
large area between. and leaving room for par
ties marching to pass between both stands be.
fore they came to The position where the award
of the judges Is announced.
1t is u mistake to assert that there IL con-
fi;ct in the board. There may be differences
OF opinion in regard TO detail, but on general
principles we are unit. The Mechanics In
stitute offers no monev prize for the succ .ssful
contestants Messr.. Tillmann g. Bendsi have
onated the prizes, and the New Vienna
Bakery has contributed the cake. With these
little corrections the reports of the proceed
ings are as near correct as are possible in the
nature OF things. Thankfully yours,

Chinese Examinations.

The American Bible Society has receiI ed
from its correspondent in Shanghai an &C
count of the recent examinations for the
masters degree among students. This year
the imperial edict directed that the ques-
tons to be asked and answered should re-
Late to matters of Importance at the present
time. The following surprising question
was read by 10000 students in one of the
examination halls:
What do you know of the repeopling
of the earth by Moan and his family after
the f1ood?"
The Pekin examination board who framed
this question had been reading the Old
Testament, v bich is now recommended as
textbook, ard for which there is an in
creased demand. The statesmen of China,
her scholars and her students are said to be
studying the Bible because it is the classic
of Christian countries.

SANGUILLY DESERTS.
Report That InsurXcnt Leader Has
Gone to the Enemy

Tone 10 the Enemy.
HAVANA, via Key West, Fla, December
BIT is announced semi-officially that
General Sanguilly, the insurgent leader,
has written to Marshal Blanco offering him
his services Internationally.
Some of the richest Spaniards Of Cuba
have held further meetings here at Glen
fuegos and at Sagua, to consider the ad-
visibility of sending a petition to Presi-
dent Mckinley. asking for the establish
ment of United States protectorate over
Cuba if within six months the govern
ment's plans for the pacifcation' of the
island give no result.
Later advices from Madrid seem to show
that Deputy Amblard, who was trusted
with the task Of making overtures to the
Cuban junta, had reached New York. He
is said to have informed the Spanish min
listers that he counted upon the adherence
OF General Sanguilly to the new order of
things. and. if it is true that the latter has
offered his services to the captain general.
the influence of Amblard at Madrid will
be greatly increased.
In fact, he is said to have already receiv-
ed considerable sums of money to meet his
expenses, and, it is further stated, the re-
formiSts and autonomiSts here will not def
nitely complete their union until his return
to Havana.

sent for the consideration of an urgent
deficiency bill, which, he explained, carried
but three items-s5,000 fer the construction

GOO for the payment of the mileage of SEN

to pay mileage at the extra session.
The bill was passed without debate.
There was at this point exchange of
personalities between Mr.. Hepburn Uowa)
and Mr.. Norton (Ohio) over correction of
a renewal of a controversy that occurred
between the two gentlemen during the de-
bate on the perSion appropriation bill last
week over the word most or many in
reference to soldiers on the pension roll. 1t
was claimed that most was used. but the
speech when printed was changed to
many"
word many" placed him in a false light.
A long debate followed as to the practice
of the House..
After a debate which consumed more than
two hours the House, on rising vote 127-

make the permanent record that Mr.. Nor
