How Buffer Fooled Crowd In

From the Washington Star: 1t was
New York drummer stopping in
Washington on his way west just long
enough to tell the administration how
to conduct the war, and while he was
resting after his efforts in that direc-
ton he was talking something else

that he could beat any man in the
room, even, at any game of billiards
he might select. Seeing no takers of
his bet he offered to double his wager
that he could knock any man in the
room out in four rounds. He slung
out his chest and shut up big pair OF
fsts in way that was not inviting to
the amateur, and nobody offered to go
into the ring with the slugger. The
big fellow by this time was becoming
sassy, and in rapid succession offered
to swim, or row, or shoot, or fence
or ride, or even play game of golf
against any man in the room at any
time any one might designate. At last

The ozarIna's Health.

From St. Petersburg come poor ac-
counts of the health OF the Empress
of Russia. Very little is said about it,
as the Tsar greatly objects to all ref
erences to the subject; but, as a mat
ter of fact, there has been cause for
some anxiety about the empress for
some time past. She has never been
very robust, and the attack of meas
les from which she suffered early in
the winter has left her painfully weak

that she can be the mother of the two

The Peace Commission.

Washington, August 19.-There is
still uncertainty as to the composition
of peace commission. The president
has not succeeded in4 adding any
names to his list today, and 1t stands
as yesterday.
NJ. Cambon, the French ambassador,
has been requested by Madrid author
tiles to ascertain the names of the
bic them as soon as possible.
Cambon and his secretary, NJ THE
bout, have been at the state depart
ment on two occasions and have sub
mitted the Spanish quedy but no sat
isfaction has been given them because
even the president does not know yet.
AS officially stated, the purpose of
the Spanish government was to guide
its own appointments by the rank of
the Americans, but the real object is
to find out whether the members of the
American peace commission are imper-
ialists or isolatonsts.
In the former, Spanish bonds now
held by the officials will be sold by
means of false news as to the future
of the Philippines.
If the latter, Spanish bonds will be
purchased.
The scheme is said to be manipulated
by the same clique that juggled the
Cuban bonds last winter.

The load which the United States
soldier carries when in active service
foots up to 641s pounds. This is ex-
elusive of incidentals, which would
make the total about 10 pounds. By a
recent order the men in the ranks are
to be relieved of as much of this load
as possible, and the knapsack, tent,
blanket overcoat, canvas suit, change

to be carried on wagon, two of which

Omaha, Neb., August 19.-Texas day
was grand success. Hundreds Of
Texas visitors are in the city, and long
before the arrival of the governor and
party at the Auditorium that edlfice
was crowded with not only Texans,
but people from all sections, intent on
hearing of and seeing the representa-
tives of the greatest State in theUnion.
The audience was interested, and it
is unnecessary to say they were on
tertained and much was accomplished
for the good of Texas.
A feature of the entertainment in
honor of Texas was the grand fire
works display last night, in which
were shown several magnificent set
pieces, including the crest of Texas
with the name of our governor over
the Lone Star.
Texas day was one of the best days
of the exposition and the people of the
great West realize more than ever the
ties which bind them to people of the
South, and Texas especially, with its
magnificent resources and numerous
gulf ports.

ceiyed full credit for our interesting

August from Manila was in no way

Deutsche Algemeine Zeitung in declar-
ing that Admiral Dewey approved of
Augustus departure, but all semi-offl-
cial explanations fail to explain why
so much secrecy was observed.

THE TIDEwATER RAILROAD.

The West Point Virginian, whlch Is
inst now engaged in publishing a series
Of development editions" declares that
there seems to be no good reason 10
doubt that the Richmond and Tidewater
railroad will be built.
The Virginian suggests that Tor the
present the upper terminus of he road
shall be at West Point, where it can
connect with the road TO Richmond, and
II thinks the best plan would be to have
"a main line from West Point TO deep
water below Mathews Courthouse, with
spurs to Urbanna and Gloucester Point,
or some other good site an the York,
with a large centra! po~wer-house at or
near Gloucester Courthouse"
The Dispatch earnestly trusts that this
road will be built. 1t would be a great
thing for Richmond. It would bring a
vast quantity of fish and oysters and
agricultural produce here. and at the
same time open to us a market for our
wares that is now controlled by Balti-
more.
We hope our people will interest them
selves in this movement and never be
satisfied until the road is built-which it
mas easily be by proper assistance upon
the part of Richmond.

MIR. prNGLEY wRoNGEp.

Our esteemed contemporary. the New
York Evening Post, is very much exer-
olsed to know what Is the matter with
Mr.. Dingley. OF Maine. The Post thinks
mere is something wrong with the states
man from the northeast Jumping OF
division Of this republic. 1t says that Mr..
Dingley continues TO figure out as q sur
plus what is really a steadily increasing
deficit. and It can understand him at all.
Indeed. the Post even goes so far as TO
ntimate that Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, has
wheels-mathematical wheels-in his heao'
Not a bit Of It. There is nothing wrong
with Dir. Dingley. OF Maine. but the Post
is all wrong now, and has been Tor some
time. touching the Great American tariff
constructor. Moreover, there are nun
dreds Of papers all over the country one
OF whom we are which," that are in the
same boat with our New YORK. contempo-
rary. The Joke is not on Mr.. Dlngley, OF
Maine. but upon eve, Us & Co." We
haven't appreciated Mr.. Hanna's pro-
lection architect. To come to a full
and an honest confession, we have done
Mr.. Dingley, OF Maine, a gross injustice
Mr.. Dingley, of Maine. besides being
possessed of marvellous mathematical
genius. is a seer. He foresaw our present
complications, and his wondrous calcula-
tons are a huge bluff. 1T must now be
said in justice to Mr.. Dingley, or Maine
that during all the time we have been
criticising him he has simply been en-
gagged in a little pardonable sophistica-
ton dictated by patriotism. He has never
believed that his tariff would do what 1t
was never intended to do, and that Is pro-
duce a surplus. His riotous figuring and
demonstrations Of the undemonstrable
have all been to the end Of convincing
the naughty Spaniards that a stream oil
money was pouring into our Treasury
that would enable US to incur any cost in
the event Of war, without the slightest
embarrassment. 1t has been with Mr..
Dingley a case of juggling with figures
for moral effect.
The Dingley act has been In operation
for seven months, and the manner In
which it has subserved the special inter
ests in whose behalf it was framed clear
ly precludes the idea that its patron has
wheels in his head. We think, therefore,
that in view of the actual exhibit Of the
Treasury for that period, the Post must
accept the above as the only logical solu-
ton of Mr.. Dingley's frequent figuring of
a surplus out Of a d~efcit-which deficit,
by the way, would, in case Of war, in
crease daily at an enormous rate and
finally have to be made up by imposing
upon the masses by taxation heavy bur-
dens in addition to those imposed by the
Dingley tariff. And having accepted this
solution, our New York contemporary, we
make bold to say, owes Mr.. Dingley, Of
Maine, an apology which, no doubt, it
will hasten to tender.
