The Beauties of Welbeck Abbev.

From the London Figaro.
 ' Welbeck abbey, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Portland, which the Prince and Princess of Wales have hon. ored recently with a visit, Is situated in the heart of what used to be Sherwood forest, once the trysting place of Friar Tuck, Robin Hood and Maid Marian. The abbey is a splendid looking building, but the great features of the estate are the underground apartments, built by the dukes eccentric predecessor whose horror of light and the society of his kind is well known, and the hunting stables, which lie about a mile from the house and cover an acre of ground Both the duke and his wife are passionately fond of horses and scarcely a day passes but that the duchess finds time to visit few of her husbands equine favorites.
 The Duchess of Portland is extremely exclusive She has never shown the small- est desire to cultivate eccentric geniuses or smart workings. She is one of the

 Cross-Examination.
 MT. Lowe then took the witness for cross-examination. Mr. Brown said:
 'I live at Courtland, Ala. I have lived there for fourteen years. Prior to that time resided at Tuscaloosa for two years. Previous to that lived in Choctaw coun- ty, Mississippi I was born in Bibb coun- ty, Alabama. I am 36 years of age and a drummer by occupation. I am in the clothing line. I have been at that three years. Previous to that was engaged In general merchandising at Courtland. The first shot Ashford fired struck me in the face. I left my pistol at the Morris ho- tel"
 When did you realize that you had left your pistol at the hotel?" asked Mr. Love-
 ''I knew 1t all the time," replied the wit ness.
 'When I left the hotel I intended to go to Abbott's or RosenstihPs to buy some Christmas presents. I know the defend ant Tom Ashford. I don't know where his place of business is; I think it is in Third avenue. I have known Ashford for ten or twelve years. I had not seen him for more than year prior to the shoot ing. think I saw him last at my home in Courtland. I live with my father-in- law.
 My duties keep me on the road about half of the time; the rest I spend at Courtland. I did not speak to Tom Ash ford the last time I saw him. The last time I spoke to him was about two years ago in Birmingham. Ashford invited me to dinner. I don't know whether he saw me or not the last time I saw him in Court land"
 Attorney Lowe then by skillful ques- tioning endeavored to bring out the fact that hostility existed between the Brown and Ashford families. These questions were objected to by the state. Mr. Lowe arose to explain the purpose of his inter- rogations.

DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION.
The HoIIowness and HypGcritical
Nature of the Pretenses of Cheap
Money Stntesmen.

The general curiosity in regard to
the alleged democratic reasons for OPP
posing the revenue bill as framed by
the republican committeeman has hard
ly been satisfied by the speech of Sem
ator Jones, of Arkansas, who repre-
sented the democratic-silver combna-
ton. Or, rather, the speech showed
that there was absolutely no strength
or merit in the opposition TO the bill.
In the first place, Senator Jones had
peculiar estimates of his own with ref
erence to the cost of the war. estimates
which the republican spokesmen had 10
difficulty in puncturing. He further
maintained that it was wholly unnec-
essary that all the expenses Of the war
should be provided for in the pending
bill. Congress, he said, would return
in December, and if any emergency re-
quired its presence sooner the presi-
dent could attend to that by proclama-
tion. lie evidently found it convenient
to ignore the fact that the provision for
the issues of short-term certificates and
long-term bonds do not direct an imme-
diate issue of either, but merely author
iZe the treasury to issue them as the
need arises. Does he imagine that they
would be issued anyhow, regardless of
the course of the struggle?
The senator says he and his party pre-
fer increased taxation to bonds. The
only priHciple couceivably behind this
preference is that the present genera
ton should pay the expenses of the con-
fict; but if that be the democratic mo-
tive, the opposition is pa!pably insin-
cere. At best the objection would ap-
ply only to bonds and not at all to short
term certificates to be redeemed out of
the revenue yielded by current taxation.
Yet the democrats are as vehement in
sistng bond issues! This alone proves
the hollowness and hypocritical nature
of their pretended craftsmanship.
1t is passing strange that in the re-
ports of the senator's speech we find no
reference to the greenback and the
seigniorage amendments, the pet polit
ical proposals of the silver combina-
tion. If this silence signifies that the
democrats themselves realize the folly
anu lHlposslpl4lty ol tHese sHdlii ahehu-
ments and do not intend to waste time
on them, they are to be congratulated
on their discretion. At any rate, it is
clear that the bill as reported by Sen
ator Allison, minus the democratic
amendments which he disavowed, will
encounter no very serious or formidable
difficulties. Even Jones was painfully
aware of the weakness of his case.-Chi-
cago Post.

TO TAKE AND HOLD THEM.

An ONE al Forecast of the Plan of Cam
paign Shows that the Intention is to
Send Our Soldiers to Porto Rico as Wei
as to Cuba and the Philippines.
Washington, June 2.-For the first
time since the beginning of hostilities
there appears to be something in the
nature of an official statement of the
plan of campaign. This is contained
in letter sent yesterday by Secretary
Alger to the speaker of the house
transmitting certain statements of
Gen. Ludlow, which disclose the pur-
pose of the war department to send
10000 men to Cuba, 90, 600 to start at
once and the remainder just as soon as
they can be made ready for departure
Then there was an estimate for estab-
fishing electrical communication in
connection with the army ''in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines" show.
ing for the first time officially an i'm
piled intention on the part of the gov
ernment to land troops in Porto Rico.
All these movements have been an
tlcipated by the press, but neverthe-
less strong element of doubt existed
and therefore an official statement of
the governments purposes made even
in this indirect fashion, created pro-
found sensation here. The three are
to go together-Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines-and be occupied by
United States troops. Inasmuch the
secretary says the second contingent
of troops is to go forward as soon as
they can be prepared good deal of
interest attached to an order made
yesterday at the war department pro-
vidiug for the organization of the 49,,
900 additional volunteers called for.
The order officially established the
statement heretofore made that large
proportion of the new men are to be
used to fill up existing regiments of
volunteers, which are in most cases de-
fcient in numbers. 1t is presumed from
this that the volunteer regiments col
lected under the first call will be de-
tanned until they are filled up in this
fashion, so that the order has some
bearing upon the plan of campaign.
The war department has received a
dispatch from Gen. Brooke, in com
mand of the forces in Chickamauga,
setting at rest the reports as to made
quate food and water supply there.
An additional evidence that the ac-
tual forward movement of the army
and navy has begun is given in the ac-
tion of the foreign naval and military
observers. They have been sojourning
leisurely in Washington for some time,
but within the last week all of them
have started for Florida. The British
naval and military attaches were the
first to leave, and now they have been
followed by the German, Austrian,
Russian, Swedish. Norwegian and Jap
anese observers. The government of
Norway and Sweden has no less than
six military and naval experts to OBJ
serve various brances of the warfare.
