Whether war enriches literature or not is
a matter of dispute, but there can be nc
doubt that war has very stimulating In
fluence upon the noble art of news taking.
Its products since our war with Spain be-
gan have been multtudnous, various and
picturesque. The Spanish newspaper cor

In this line, though the American fakir ha,
done his best, and much of his work ha,
been truly wonderful.
But there are others, and prominent among
them stands the Washington correspondent
of the London Telegraph In recent dis
patch he says that he had just learned from
high authority 10 the State Department that
important steps toward an Anglo American
alliance had already been taken He went
on to give details, saying that according tc
his authority, Great Britain on the one side
was TO recognize the Monroe doctrine, at

American construction OF that doctrine y

keep all the territ Try taken from Spain in
the present war and be protected by Great
Britain in its possession. In return for
British protection the United States would
stand by England in her policy with respect
to China, and the East would be opened to
the United States under the most favored
nation clause.

No Buyers for Gold Coin.

There Is al old story to the effect
that in order TO win a wage n man
once stood on London bridge for an
hour with a tray full of sovereigns In
front of him. and offered the coins for
sale to passersby at a halfpenny each.
Nobody would purchase, and the wager
vas won. An antique and curio dealer
in Seymour place. Marylebone road, ex-
hibited in his window on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday last, as the result
of a wager, 20 English sovereigns mixed
with other coins. the collection being
surmounted with a ticket bearing the
words: These coins los Sd each. For
a few days only" Although mixed
with other coins; the sovereigns were
the most conspicuous. Strange to say
there We're no purchasers. One timid
individual went into the shop and
~nervously inquired If the coins were
good" He was told by the shop
keeper hat the coins were there to be
sold at the price marked, hut no other
information could be given. He left
without purchasing. Yesterday morn
ing the news got around Marylebone
that sovereigns were TO be had for 15s
Cd. But Ii was too late. The trader
had won the wager and withdrawn his
collection-of sovereigns, at any rate
from the window of his shop.-Pall

drawn up in a body on the left, and
inclining towards the rear OF the pa

large hollow square around the first

the pavilion was gay and splendid In
a very high degree.
THE ceremonies were commenced by
a prayer by the Rev. DR.. Wyatt, Ma

Heath, after an eloquent preface, read

On the conclusion OF the address

prepared the stone while Gen. Carroll
tossed aside the first spadeful OF earth.
The writer of the pamphlet then gives
a detailed account of the proceedings
of laying the stone, with impressive
Masonic ceremonies.
