Stronger Than Oak.

Foot bridges in Morocco that are used
for heavy traffic have been the subject
of much concern to the engineers. Elm
planks on oak stringpieces We're the ma
terials employed, but these wore ont so
rapidly that a return to the old style Of
building was proposed. This consisted
of cables made from the fiber of the
aloe. These cables are plated and twist
ed from fiber and are nearly two inches
thick and s I. inches wide. They are
saturated with tar and firmly nailed to
oak plankinG. The ends are fastened by
iron straps. These cables make most adj
mirablc footpaths. They are sufficiently
elastic to be pleasant under the feet,
and experience has demonstrated that
they are far more durable than any ma
terial heretofore applied for this pur-
nose.

Grants Court suit.

''Just before Grant started on his f.
nous trip around the wOrld-in fact,
lust three days before he left-he walked
into q store in Philadelphia and very
quietly, just as if he was asking moth
ing unusual, said that he wanted 4 full
dress uniform of the generals grade fin
ishod for him before he left. AS he ex-
pressed it, he couldn't appear i'll civil
ian's dress at the various courts which
he would visit, and he didn't like the
idea Of the knickerbCCkors and silk
stockings OF the regulation court cos
tune.
1T was a rush order, - said the MGR
chant who received it, land we had TO
furnish everything except the sword,
but we managed to finish it in time
and made what Grant considered the
best fitting uniform he ever wore. The
epaulets hadn't arrived when the day
for trying on occurred, and our filter
told Grant, adding that lie was sorry,
bat that he would have TO come i'll
again. Then Grant made a remark
which showed his great good sense, one
of his predominant characteristics.
There must be somebody here, he said,
who is about my build. just put the
coat On him and fit the epaulets that
way And so it was done. New York

Fight with the Cubans.


Fight with the Cubans.
Santiago de Cuba. Nov. I6.-An Incl
kent occurred Monday night at san
Luis. about twenty-five miles north of
Santiago. which caused a great deal os
ill-feeiing among the Cubans and con-
siderable annoyance among the United
States military officials here. All the
rolored regiments are enCamped in the
neighborhood Of San Luis. They were
sent there virtually TO get them out OF
the way because of the difficulty expe-
TienCei in managing them. The col
ored officers seem to have little or no
control over their men. and officers and
ITiVates are often seen drinking to-
Eether with arms around each others
neCks. 1t was not expected that the
cClored soldiers could do much harm in
the san Luis district, which was chosen
on that principle
The trouble began Monday evening -

the arrests. The soldiers, who belonged

after thirty colored men wearing the
uniform of the United States army at

When the news reached Santiago
General Wood Immediately proceeded
to investigate. He went TO San Luis
and upon returning reported that all
the negro regiments were more or less
mixed UP in the ARRAY. He has offered
$1,000 reward FOR the names Of the men
who did the shooting. and before Ieav

Question Barred from Discussion.

Persons near to SPANS heaviest cred
itCrs believe that should the Americans
assume the Philippine debt or pay Spain
its face amount in cash the Spaniards
would sign. If they have not already
done so the Spanish commissioners VIII
ultimately advise the Americans that
they must not permit any controversy
as to the binding character of the mort
gage resting upon the revenues of the
Philippines to pay the debt. Tenacious
adherence to this claim would set up on
the Spanish side an ultimatum under
which no treaty would be signed which
did not stipulate that the Philippine
revenues should pay the Philippine
debt. In such event the Americans
would probably claim that the Philip
pine debt of $iO.COO.OO0 amounts to $2O.-
100000 in gold OF which about $l1,O0O.-
coo has been employed in fighting the
United States. leaving less than So

Reading Between the Lines.

Manchester, Nov. I6.-At the National
Liberal Uniorists' conference here yes
terday Joseph Chamberlain, secretary
Of state for the colonies. made his first
public speech since his return from the
United States Chamberlain. who was
much more explicit on the subject OF
ArgIc-French relations than any of his
colleagues in the cabinet has been, said
il was the hope OF every friend of
peace that the French withdrawal from
Fashoda is indicative OF their accept
ance OF the principle Of British control
of the whole valley of the Nile, regard
ing which there cannot be any discus
sion whatever" Going on TO recite
series OF unfriendly acts perpetrated
by France in various quarters of the
globe during the last ten or fifteen
years. he said:
If better relations are to be estab-
lished it Will be necessary for French
politicians to abandon tactics whose
object has been to embarrass British
policy in quarters where the French
have no interests to protect. 1 refer es-
