An Instance of Henry Georges Alb
sent MindednesE.
The activity and power of intellect
of the late Henry George did not pre-
vent Observation-Disclosures e. A writ er in
the Review of Reviews says that this
quality was "the jest of his circle"
Names escaped him. heard him say
TO Mr.. Dayton, the candidate on his
ticket for comptroller and one Of the
best-known men in New York:
'"You won't mind it, hope, if Tfor-
get your name; 1 am so conscious Of the
danger OF getting names wrong that
when the need Of remembering comes
it rattles me, and away the name goes"
He came late to a recent dinnerat the
Lotus club, where he was to discuss
with some friends the question OF his
being candidate in apprehended con-
tingencies. 1t was raining, ana he took
from his pocket the slippers with@hich
Mrs. George had insisted ON providing
him in case he should get his feet wet,
and as he put them on he apologized
with honest gravity:
III lost time looking for man kept
asking after as Kinsella, and it turned
out his right name was Moriarty. At
least, Think that " as what he told me
it was when found him."
But there was no Observation-Disclosures
when discussion Of the business IN hand
ensued; he was keen and wide-awake.

FREDERICKSBURG, August 2.-The
emperor and empress OF Germany ar
rived here at o'clock this evening, ac-
companied by Baron Won BulOw, the
minister for foreign afEalrs, and the
empress was in mourning. The mem

emperor upon allghtlng, kissed Prince
Herbert Bismarck upon both cheeks and
shook hands with Count William Bis

lie. passing through detachments OF the
Thirty-frst regiment OF infantry whleh
were drawn up along the ROAD anu up
to the castle gate.
The crowds on each side OF the road
we're composed Of HamburEers who had
been arriving by every train, foresters
from ali the Sachenswald villages, blcy-
cllsts. children and travellers from for
eIRn countries. Vendors of cards, Pho
tographs and medals swarmed about the
outskirts Of the crowds, and walters
from the neighborlng beer gardens,
bearing trays of empty or filled glasses
circulated on all sides and did a DIG
business among the thirsty. There were
only few gendarmes present, but they
were perfectly able 10 maintain order
When the imperial train arrived here
the crowds were so anxious to see the
snperor that they swarmed over the
Fences and upon the platform. The
troops. however, were able to keep
spsce clear around the emperor's saloon
carriage. There was no cheering, out
an uproar was caused by the excHed

BERLIN, August 2.-The NeuSte Ma
dhrichten to-day publishes q dispatch
from Friedrichsruhe which says:
Prince Herbert Bismarck Is quite
broken down by the worry and vigilS Of
the past few dayA
Prof. Lenbach says he has not been
allowed 70 paint a picture Of the de-
ceased and a cast of his features was
not taken.
As indicating how well the deceased
fen on Thursday, It is said that when
going to bed at i1:sO ne said: "welI,
now shall have a Sleep"
Emperor William leaves Klel at 8
o'clock thls afternoon and will reach
Potsdam at II o'clock. The funeral SER
vice In honor of the late Prince Bis
maEck VIII take place on Thursday
morning in the Emperor william Me-
mortal church. The federal council,
members Of the reichstag and OF the
Prusslan diet and the state and munic-
lpal authorities will be invited.
The United States ambassador, Mr.
Andrew D. White, has received the fol-
lowing message from Prince Herbert
Bismarck: 1--WE thank your excellency
most devoutly for the warm sympathy
which the President, in the name Of
your government and people, caused 10
be EXPRESSED to our family through you.
Receive at the same time my heartiest
thanks for your personal coincidence"
Memorial services in honor OF the late
Prince Bismarck are being organized
throughout the country. The imperial
chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, was the
last person permitted to look upon the
remains Of the former chancellor before
the cofiin was closed.
Strange rumors on that subject are
current and also as to the cause OF the
emperor changing his mind and going
to FriedrfchBruhe. These rumors are
puzzling the papers. which, however,
continue to print the warmest eulogieS
Of the deceased, though the soclaiistlc
Vorwaerts accuses Prince Bismarck Of
working always In the interests OF cap
itallsm, adding that whenever he dealt
with the moral and intellectual factors
he failed. The Polish press declares
Prince Bismarck was the greatest ene-
my OF the Poles.
A sensation was created by the en-
pernr during the afternoon, who tele-
Crnbhed coUntermanding the Bismarck
obseuuies which were to take place In
front of the reichstag building and or
derinR instead that mourning services
be held in the Emperor William Memo
riRl church.
The tradespeople and artists who had
taken orders In connection With the for
mer were sadly disappointed.

istsr was the author OF the letter re-
aectlng upon the President. Another
nrecedeur was relegated to the past
when the government decided % rsturn
to Spain the prisoners fWaF taken with
the surrender of Santiago.
Precedents nave been dIsregarded in
other instances by this government. In
view Of this fact, therefore. precedent
may not govern absolutely in the con-
duct Of the peace negotiations.
After the proclamation Of an armis-
lice automatically the next step would
be the designation by the President OF
the commissioners to represent the
Tn,taa states In the conduct of the final
conduct Of negotiations Of peace. The
terms propossd by this government pro-
vide for a Joint commission to draft
peace treaty and to solve the difieuKy
relative to the future government Of tine
Philippines. Again, according to the
best accepted precedents, this Joint
commission would meet upon neutral
ground It has been suggested that the
commission may assemble in Paris, but
as yet that is the mersst conjecture.
The commission might meet IN either OF
the belllgerent countries.
Pending the conclusion Of the work
OF the commission, the probabilities are
that the armies OF both Spain and the
United States win be kept in the field'
their relative positions remaining un-
changed during the diplomatic neSotia-
lions. Here again, huwever, precedent
may be put aside by the United States
but It IL regarded as likely that mis-
country will not withdraw any of the
troops from the Geld until q dsterminA-
tion shall have been reached Of all aueS-
tons in issue before the commissioners

eessitate further iegislatIon expressly
authorizing the continuance Of a large
military force, according to che View Of
the Prealdent.
Persons who conferred with the Pres
ident to-day positively assert that there
Is no necessity for special legislation TO
authorize the keeping together Of th0
great army OF volunteers. The Presl-
dent, It iS understood, takes he'ground
that the requirement In the volunteer
act for dlsbandment Of volunteers on
the termination Of war does not cons
template dIsbandment until the emer-
gencles that are Incident to this war are
over, and does not prevent the mainte-
nance Of a large body Of troops in our
territorial acceSsions until order Is re.
stored. A well known public man who
was In conference with the President
to-day suggested that the necessary
military occupation OF our conquered
territory would involve maintenance for
two gears OF an army Of about 10000
men.

WASHINGTON, August a-shOrtly
before midnight Secretary Aiger, as he
left the white house after conference
with the President, said the adininis-
tra,ion had received no oficia1 infornia-
tIon that the Madrid government had
accepted the terms of peace proposed by
the United States
Unomcially the President had been IN.
formed that the Spanish ministry had
ucceded to the terms Of this country for
a cessation OF the war. The unonieil
advlces have reached the President in
the form not only of press dispatches,
but Of private dispatches from conhden-
tlal agents of the United states govern
ment
While this government has strong rea'-
sons for believing that It's terms OF peace
have been agreed to BY. the Madrid gov
eminent, the President is taking Moth
ing for granted. Arrangements for
pressing the war to q successful con-
clusIon are going forward precisely as
Il no negotiations for peace were in
progress. AT a conference participated
inby the President, Secretary Alger and
Adjutant General corbIn at the execu-
tive mansion tonight, a finai decision
was reached as to the constitution OF
the provisional corps for Porto Rico to
be commanded by General Wade. The
regiments which are to comprise the
corps we're decided upon and will be
designated in a general order to De is
sued probably tomorrow. Secretary
Alger said that the corps might be en-
route to Porto Rico within a week.
Notwithstanding these warlike prepa-
Fadons the belief In official circles to-
night amounts to q conviction that ac-
tive hostllities practically have been
concluded. A prominent ohicial Of the
administration said tonight: THE end
is near. in my opinion. The information
thus far received Is unomelal and mea-
gre. but that It is accurate, in the main,
We have no reason to doubt In fact, We
have reason to believe II is correct"
1t is understood that the reason" re-
tsyred to is contained in tho private ad-
vices received by the President and
from private dispatches received by rep
rcsen,adves of foreign governments at
this capital
Ambassador Cambon, who is conduct
tnE the negotiations for the Spanish
government, has not communicated, so
far as could be ascertained. with the
President tonight, and 1t Is not prob
able that the official response to the
terms proposed by the United States has
yet reached the French Ambassador.
Upon It's receipt Il will he transmitted
to the President without delay
Firut stop an ArmlUtlss.
In the event of spain's acceptance of
the terms proposed by this country, the
first step probably viii be towards an
agreement to close active hostliltIes,
pending the drafting of treaty Of peace
along the lines Of the accepted terms.
According to precedcnts ordinarily OBJ
served, Rn armstlce would mean the
practical close Of the war
It is pointed nut, however, that several
precedents have been yet aside BY this
government in the conduct of the war
ND In tho treatment OF events which
ed up tO II.
One notable instance In which rocOg-
hized diplomatic precedents were swept
away was the personal demand made
by Secretary Day upon Minister do

some extransous diplomatic support, or
whether It indicates q real change OF
procedure 80 far as n. Cambon e con-
cerned. the events OF the next few days
viii probably show.
Al tho present moment disinterested
diplomatic support cannot fail to be
welcomed. The harvest prospects are
60 good throughout the penlnsula that
the government has decided to cancel
'the decree prohibiting the export OF
grain and to impose merely moderate
export duty.
