NO SHOW FOR GENIUS.
A Long-haired Poets Failure t
Override an Editor.


New York Sun: The little coterie of
long-haired poets and short-haired
prose writers who dropped into French
with ease and made their headquarters
in lower Fifth avenue, have dissolved,
and scattered, and it is now a memory.
1t was the most amusing collection of
the kind that has been brought to-
gether in this city for a long time, and
WHEN it was violently disrupted by the
fist-fght between two OF it's most dis
tinguished members, there were many
regrets. One of its members, who, like
several of the others, had come to New
York to storm it, handed a poem to the
editor of a monthly publication as soon
as he reached town. The poem was
returned to him with thanks The
author sent it back to the editor with
the statement that it was just what his
publication should print. The editor
again returned it, and the following day
the poet appeared in his office Before
the poet could explain his business, the
editor said: Il am just going out to
lunch, with two of my assistants. and
won't you join us?" The poet accept
ed, and the editor thought that this
act of hospitality would automatically
close I'D the disagreement as TO the
merits of the poem. AS soon as the
luncheon was ordered, however, the
poet said: 1T is a pleasure, gentlemen,

CHINA NEEDS BRAINS.
Ex-Secretary Fosters Review of the
Empire at Amherst Commence
uaeut.

Amherst, Mass, July John w.
Foster delivered an address on the Chi
nese empire at the seventy
commencement exercises of Amherst
college.
Referring to the fact that he had
been requested by President Gates to
discuss the topic of the Chinese empire
and it's possible future ex-Secretary
Foster cited the statement of a British
cabinet minister that history furnished
no example of the situation of China-of
a. great empire, without having received
a vital blow, utterably unable to resist
the feeblest form of attack. He pro-
ceeded to review the country and its
people in order to explain this anomaly
of history.
The great need of China today, he
said, was an intelligent and courageous
leader, who could cut loose from the
dead past and bring to its people the
Improvement of modern social, COM
mercial and governmental methOdS.
Japan, which was the natural ally of
China, he said, had precipitated the
present crisis by its ambitious designs
which afforded a preteXt of european
intervention.
The Acknowledgement of China seems
imminent Mr.. Foster thinks the ma
ton which can and is most likely 70
prevent it is Great Britain In concluo-
ing Mr.. Foster said:
Added to these large and growing
interests there has come a concurrence
of political events of the highest in
fluence and magnitude. The Hawaiian
islands, the strategic outpost of the
military defense of our Pacific coast
territory and the half way station OF
our commerce with Asia, are knocking
for admission to the American union.
Suddenly, at the call of humanity, we
are at war with Spain to give freedom
to a nearby people, the Cubans- But,
strangely enough, the first blow in the
conflict is struck in the far off Pacific
and the victory to our arms gives US
control, temporarily at least, of coun-
try constituting an empire in extent
and population
Joined to these is the friendly sym

THE SITUATION Ar SANTIAGO.

Our army in Cuba has now estab-
nshed it's lines within five miles of San
tiago and within two miles of the Span
ish line of defenses. The advance, upon
the road from Juragua by Sevilla. rests
upon the Rio Guiana, a small stream
that runs nearly parallel with the shore
of the bay, entering the sea at Aqua
dores, from which point also a road
runs to the town. separated from the
other by high wooded hills. The roads
little more than mountain trails bor-
dered by thick brush-can be followed
only when the enemy has been cleared
away in advance. It is over the hills
that the fighting is to be done.
Beyond the Guiana, facing our troops,
lie the irregular hills that enclose the
beautiful bay, and these are covered
thick with those simple but effective
defenses that the Spaniards have learn
ea to employ in Cuba, a succession of
rif1e-pits, punctuated with block houses
on each eminence, and with rows of
barbed wire fence winding among the
woods in front. It appears plain from
the description given by the CORE
spondents that an infantry attack
across works like these, against the
deadly fire of Spanish rifles, is out of
the question. The artillery must get

TO REBUILD DISTILLERY.
Great Western Plant to Be Re-Estab-
lished on Larger Scale.

Peoria, Ill, July 1.-The general man
ager of the American Spirits company,
Iessees of the great western distilIery,
recently destroyed by fire, says the
plant will be rebuilt on q much larger
scale than before. The company has
practically dismantled the Grove dis
tillery, and has only the Manhattan
and Monarch to depend upon. In case
of a fire in either of these great plants
the company would be seriously Grip
pied. 1t is stated that work win begin
as soon as the insurance adJusters nave
paid the losses. The new distillery will
have a capacity of 90 900 bushels of corn
daily. This is equivalent to an output
of 90 900 gallons of spirits a day. Dis
tiIlers who will talk about the plans,
which of necessity are yet incomplete,
say that with the improved machinery
with which the new house will be equip
ped it will be the cheapest producing
house in the world. 1t is hoped to have
the distillery rebuilt and in operation
by December 1.
