of We could learn the thoughts
of the Spanish ministry we would
undoubtedly discover that the peace
terms which we offered are much
better than they expected. They
probably looked for a demand for a
money indemnity, and it is entirely
safe to assume that they supposed
we would insist On getting the
whole Of the Philippines. AS we are
in position to take all of them at
an early day, aud to hold them,
SagaSta antl the Queen Regent must
have been agreeably surprised that
we offered to put the fate of the is
lands in the hands of a commission.
This offer was far better than they
had any right to expect. The com.
mission plan, however, will merely
postpone the settlement Of the dis,
position of the islands, but will not
change it. The whole of the Phil,
lppines will come under the stars
and stripes, and remain there."-

Why North Dakota's Capital Was Named
Bismarck.


The death OF Bismarck RECALLS to mind the
fact that the capital OF North Dakota was named
IN his honor, This was done not because of any
cause Of u desire on the, part of the directors
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company TO
recognize his great abilities displayed In the
-Prusslan war. An added reason, no
doubt, was the fact that German and Austrian
capital had been secured for the Northern
Pacific Railroad, and II was II compliment to
these investors also. The crossing Of the Mis-
souri, River by this railway company was II
proud step. and at this time. 1873, Bismarck's
was the greatest name In the political world.
To the letter notifying Bismarck OF this honor
the great Chancellor wrote the following reply:
BERLIN. May ~, 1879.
SIR; l have the honor To acknowledge the receipt
Of your letter of the 2Sth Of last month inClOsing "A
copy of a resolution Of the board Of directors OF tho
Northern Pacific liailruad Company, TO the etldct
that the town at the crossing Of the Missouri River
by that road shall be named bismarck. l beg you
will be good enough TO convey 70 tho gentlum IN, on
behalf Of whom YOU write, my sincere thanks for 30
~tAttering a compliment to assure them that ] am
very grateful for the terms in which they speak OF
the services | have been able Ia do 20 my country
tions,
Accept. together with my best wishes for the pros
perity of your undertaking, the assurance of my dis,
tnguished consideration.

Samuel wilkeson, Esq, Secretary OF the Northern
PRcinc RAILROAD company New York,
This was the first city in the United States to
bear Bismarck'B name. Since that time, how
ever. twelve other Post 0flces In this country
have received this name. but they are chiefly

TRIBUTE TO HAMILTON FISH. JR.
Mason Mitchell Tells of His Kindness and
His Love for Dumb Animals.

NIB AOFe - AuunD AHlllihib.
80 much has been written about the life
and tragic death Of Hamilton Fish. Jr.. that lit
tie remains to be told.' said Mason Mitchell.
the wounded rough rider. Il wish only to add
a few incidents that occurred during the latter
part of his career after his enlistment with the
rough riders.
His love for dumb animals was particularly
strong. and it was shown in his selection OF his
cavalry mount. He chose a wild, unbroken
animal that no other trooper cared to tackle.
Day after day Fish worked with his unruly
charge. His first effort to mount resulted in
such a mix up of horse and man that it
was difficult to distinguish one from the other.
Gradually. owing to the continued kindness
and care lavished upon the animal. it became
docile and broken. While the rest OF the troop
were Off duty and resting Fish employed his
time in leading and petting his animal. so that
when the regiment left San Antonio for Tampa
there was no better broken or gentler horse
than that of the First Sergeant of l. Troop.
Again was his kindness OF heart shown when
walking through the camp grounds one after
noon he found a large crowd of men gathered
around two OF the regiments dogs that were
fighting. Pushing his way with his towering
figure through the lines of men who were enjoy
ing the spectacle and urging the dogs to their
almost. he seized the two combatants by their
necks. dragged, them apart. and. tucking the
smaller under, his arm. strobe of to his tent.
where he b%andaged up its wounds and gave it
n hearty supper from his own rations.
On the fourteen-day trip on the steamer
Yucatan from Tampa to Cuba We spread our
blankets on the upper deck and slept side by
side. It was during those nights. as we Jay
there gazing at the stars above. that Fish
related many Of the experiences OF his life. and
We spent hours in exchanging "reminiscences
and laying plans for our future enjoyment
New York; But in the midst OF all Of this castle
building the remembrance Of home was up
permost in his mind. and he spoke
with sorrow Of the anxiety his enlist
ment had caused his mother, Like most men
ments like this when his nature changed and
he looked upon, and realized the sterner reali-
ties of life. or the thousand men constituting
popular or held the respect and esteem Of his
fellow men to Il greater extent than Hamilton
Fish. Brave and generous to n fault, his con-
Germ lay for the welfare of others, never for his
own safety or self"
