BISHOP IN A CART.

Palm Sunday at Brentford wit
 messed a strange and moving spectacle "a bishop seated, not exactly on an
 ass, but behind one in cOstermon-
 gers donkey cart. The bishop of
 Marlborough was due to hold confir-
 nation service at St. Lawrence's church, Brentford, but when his lord ship arrived at Gunnersbury railway station in time, as he thought, to take a cab to the place, of appointment, he found, to his great chagrin, that ve- hicles for hire were conspicuous by their absence The distance was too great for walking in the few minutes to spare, and the bishop had almost made up his mind to be late for the ceremony when suddenly there came on the scene a humble ccster with his "moke" and cart, the man having ap- paremtly been turning an honest penny by providing the locality with oranges and apples The aproned ecclesiastic explained to the coster in moment his dilemma and asked for lift. The kindly owner of the ass at once consented the bishop scrambled into the cart, and the donkey, entering ln- to the humor of the situation, used its four hoofs with such despatch that his ride through the principal street of the town was like a triumph al procession. Thanks to the donkey, the bishop arrived at St. Lawrence's in good time.

COALING STATIONS.
The Problem of Supplying the Ships
 is a Serious One

Washington, April 29.-The navy department is prepared to take imme- diate advantage of any action of con- gress in the direction of providing g for coal depots. It has already out lined plans for the establishment of such depots and has ascertained the feasibility of stocking them at very short notice. Operating to the south of Cuba, as our ships must do if to be maintained, the problem of sup plying them with coal is a question of the greatest importance. This may be done expensively and uncertainty, ow- ing to the danger of forage by the en- emy's ships, through the use of steam colliers sent from the United States. It is highly desirable, however, that in an emergency our ships may have the opportunity to draw upon the British coal supply in the West Indies. It is believed, owing to the guarded manner in which MT Balfour replied to the direct question as to the ques- tion of the governments making coal contraband, that Great Britain will adopt middle course. She will prob ably refuse to allow one of the war ships of the combatants to take on a full supply of coal at any British port. But, on the other hand, she will prob ably allow any such ships arriving at her ports short of coal to take on a supply sufficient to take them to their next port, thus applying the common rule of neutrality.

DANGERS AVOIDED.

The friends of the administration
 who so strenuously opposed the sanate
 resolution recognizing unconditionally
 the "so-called republic of Cuba" now
 point to a narrow escape which the
 United States had from involving it-
 self in all kinds of European compli-
 cations had the course proposed been
 adopted. The constitution of the re-
 public of Cuba, in an abbreviated form
 was made public through the newspa-
 pers at the time Of its adoption and
 attracted comparatively little atten-
 ton. The fluff document, however
 has been injected into the Congres-
 sional Record as an appendix to the speech of Senator Cannon of Utah.
 This has led to a careful reading of some Of it's provisions. Many of them are found to be extraordinary. The executive power is invested in "a gov ernment council" which is to have the faculty of dictating laws" This council is to be composed of the presi- dent and vice president of the repub- lie and the cabinet officers. One of the powers confided to it without re- striction is to declare reprisal and issue letters of marque." Under this it is obvious that the Cuban junta, under it's delegated powers, which seem to have no limit, might have chartered any number of Cuban privateers to prey upon Spanish com merce had the United States recog- nized the Cuban republic and made it. 1 self thereby responsible for it's admis sion into the family of nations An other authority conferred upon this | council is unlimited power ito issue to coin money, and to fix it's kind of value" The privateering clause, however, is regarded as by far the most serious danger from which | the suppression of the resolution of has rescued the United States.

NO EASY JOB.
It Will Require a Big Army to Drive
 Spain Out of Cuba.

New York, April 29.-'It will take more than 6O,0O0 men to subjugate the Spanish in Cuba" said James H. Springer, United States consul at Caibarien, Cuba, who arrived in this city today on the tramp steamer Ray ensdale. "The Spanish on the island will be able to raise between 250,000 and 100000 men. In my opinion the insurgents can not muster more than 35,OO0 or 10000 men at the most and they are for the most part ill-provis- toned and equipped. The Spaniards could have conquered the insurgents were it not for the rottenness of the army. The soldiers are halfhearted, half starved and unwilling fighters. They go out, make a sortie, or an at tempt at an attack and then come back and claim they have won a vic tory.'

While he was at the head of the police de- partment of that city, endeavoring to bring order out of chaos, to strike the axe deep at the root of corruption, and to enforce the laws, these same pa pers decried, derided, and in every un- fair and mean manner, obstructed him and his efforts, and he owes to them no individual courtesy.

Now we realize fully the meaning of the expression the bicycle face.' It never really was visible here, and perhaps because of lack of wheelers of the century kind. But that face for a day or two has been in evidence. We may call it the military face, and we presume it is the same thing. A sort of long, drawn, triangular con- traction of the facial nerves, accom- panied by an oblique expression of the eyes. By careful observation you can tell the difference between the accepted and enrolled fellows and those who could not get to go. It looks as if the military face has come to stay.

Some American papers are still de- claring that we have no justification in declaring war against Spain. So there were some papers in 1861 which declared that the south should be 'let alone" The right of this nation to provide for it's own welfare by compel ling a neighboring nation to abate an internal nuisance, which is wholly detrimental to our welfare, is a right admitted by every civilized power, aside from the right of interference to put a stop to Spain's program of brutalities and the right to stop the waste of our commerce, which has suffered to the extent of over $500, 0,000,- 900 since the Cuban war commenced.

The first prize captured was the Spanish schooner Buena Ventura, bound from Pascagoula to Rotterdam. The cruiser Nashville did it. And now the Spaniards are using the first part of the cruisers name for exercise of the teeth, and the last syllable of the port to which the schooner was ven turing for their mildest expression of the tongue.

Attacked by u Gray Eagle.

While Peter Egelston was cutting
railroad ties near Cascade, N. y. he
found the deserted nest of gray eagle.
While examining the nest and its con-
tents he heard loud noise, and sud
denly the old eagle had struck him in
the face with bill and claws, ana,
takinga circuit through the mir, ,alighted
on tree about 200 yards distant, but
in plain view of the nest.
Again the bird made an attack, aim
ing at Egelston's head, but he avoided
her, and she struck him on the arm,
making slight wound. She returned
to her post of observation, but soon
made third attack when Egelston
struck her with club and brought her
to the ground, where, after severe
struggle, he succeeded in killing her.
She measured seven feet two inches
across the outstretched wings.-New
