One Days Fighting in Thirty.

With an army in the field hardly
one day in thirty is given to fighting.
The other twenty-nine days of wait
ing must be lived through in order
that everything may be in readiness
for the one day of work. 1t is not
the day of fighting which turns the
hair of an officer gray, but the twenty
nine of anxiety for his men, the SUP
ply of their food and clothing and
the maintenance of health and good
spirits among them. Men do not
fight well in battle on empty stom-
achs, and yet the ordinary soldier rare
ly takes care of the provisions which
are issued to him for forced marches.
He eats them all at once or throws
them away on account Of their weight,
and at the end OF the long days
march he is hungry, with nothing to
appease his hunger. Then comes the
trouble. He does not reason. He
grumbles and expects to- be supplied
with more.

The following extracts are taken

his recent visit here:
Last Wednesday morning a dele
cation of editors with their wives
and daughters, left Parkersburg for
the Athens OF West Virginia, arriv-
ing there in the afternoon after a
pleasant ride over the b. & o. X. II.
On arrival we were greatly surpris-
ed at the place, instead of finding
the old mossback town we had pic
tured in our mind, we found it a
yeritable little city of wealth, fine
residences, large and commodious
houses, factories, and numerous col
lege buildings, belonging to the
State. The people were as kind as
could be, and left nothing undone
to make our stay one continuous
round of pleasure. The State is
surely fortunate in getting such
man as DIR. Raymond TO head her
educational institutions, surrounded
by so competens corps of assist
ants. Hon. George C. Sturgiss, as
President of the Board of Regents is
truly the proper man in the right
place, and is constantly. looking af-

respecting British intentions in China
in view Of the naval movements in the

British policy of maintaining the in
tegrity of China and the equal com.
mercial status of all nations has been
abandoned. owing to the concessions
made to Russia aud Germany. 1t is
added:
"The only course left Great Britain
is to follow suit, obtain equal advan.

adequate compensation in her own in.

activity at Hong Kong and elsewhere.
Therefore a movement upon the part
of Great Britain may be anticipated in

WASHINGTON. March 20. After the
adjournment Of the house there was
considerable discussion over prop osed
consolidation of the forces who favor
isome form Of immediate action on the
Cuban issue.
There was q strong feeling shown
over the avoidance in the message of
any outline of definite administration
policy and decided disposition appar-
ent not to await any further delay nor
resort to temporizing measures. The
project. to furnish ad Hbitum relief
supplies to the Cuban non.com-
batants is meeting with opposition
to which members on both sides of the
house have given voice in private dis
cussion on the ground, first, that Spain
alone is responsible for the conditions
on the island, and, second, the extend
ing of such in large and probably CON-
tinued aid abroad is unjust to the
people of this country. The steps taken

Representative Hull of Iowa, chairman
of the house committee on military
affairs, is leading the movement for
prompt action.
A number of senators and representa-
tives of both parties conferred with the
president at the White House during
the evening.
It is s.ed that the opinion expressed
by most of those who talked with Mr..
Mckinley was that congress was in
clined to object to further delay to-
wards settlement Of the Spanish
situation, and that unless the next mes
sage was more definite the more radi-
cal members could not be held in check.
At the meeting Of the senate committee
on foreign relations Senator Frye will
move that the committee remain in
continuous session until the question
relating to the Maine, Cuba and Spain
is settled.
