Inspector General Parker who has been
making an ex animation of Chickamauga
Park, reports 1t entirely anft for camp
ing ground. What clear spaces there are
are needed for drilling, and to keep them
for that purpose the men must camp in
the woods or near them where the ground
is constantly damp. He condemns the
water supply and attributes to it the
epidemic of typhoid fever. The camp is
now so thoroughly infected with typhoid
fever that the only thing left to do is to
remove all the troops to other localities.
How, it may be asked did it happen that
this site was originally selected for a
camp? Inspection by competent man
would have revealed it's Objectionable
features then just as we'll as now. Per-
haps the idea was to get place about as
unhealthy as Cuba where it was expected
to send the troops eventually, SO that they
might get accustomed to unhealthy sur
roundings. A little more accustoming
and there wouldn't have heen Gny left to
send to Cuba or any where except the
grave yard.

AS the people watch the returning sold
iers they are beginning to have realiz-
ing sense Of what war is. For the past
three months they have seen the glorious
side of war in the newspapers. They
have read of victories on land and sea,
of the dashing charges at Ell Caney, of
Spanish fleets sent to the bottom by
American guns. But they have been too
far from the scene to hear the groans of
the wounded. or to look into the faces
of men worn by disease, or witness the
privation and suffering In the camps.
They are beginning now to get a glimpse
of this side of the picture, and to get some
idea of the cost of the glory that we
have won. AS they see the haggard forms
Of men pass by who but a few months
ago were pictures of health and
robust young manhood, as they read of
infested ships, and hospitals filled
with the sick and the dying they begin
been, has left behind it fearful legacy
of woe. Doubtless ineficiency and
negligence, and perhaps downright cor
ruption have contributed:s something to
deepen the coloring of this side of the
picture, but it must be remembered that
ineficiency and negligence and corrup-
tion are always to greater or less extent
ooncomitants of war. No war has ever
been without them, and none will ever
be. When Gen. Sherman said that war
was hell, and that it could not be civil

what it would have been if the admins

1t is unfortunate all round that the
Spanish Cortes is to meet while the peace
negotiations are pending. In spite of all
that Sagasta can do the war and its re-
suits will get under discussion and fiery
speeches will be the result The Spanish
people are now quiescent, ready to accept
almost any terms of peace without pro-
test, but the Cortes may stir them up and
thereby greatly embarrass the Spanish
commissioners at Paris. 1t is quite true
as Sagasta says, that as yet nothing has
been finally settled between the United
States and Spain, and until final settle
ment ia reached there is danger in stirring
up public excitement.

A PRINCES IMPRESSION.
What Young Albert of Belgium Thinks of
America.
New York Journal. }

New York Journal.)
Brussels, Aug. 22.-Prince Albert's i'm
pressions of America, written by one of
his suite at the Princes dictation, are be-
ing widely read and causing favorable
comment on his shrewd. but fair, obser-
vations. After describing the yoayge the
Impressions begin:
THE PRINCE IN NEW YORK.
"The steamer stopped and was met by
a boat which brought Major General Mer-
rift and his staff to welcome the Prince
in the name of the President. 1t was tho
same General Merritt now in command
of the army at Manila and who, before
sailing, said to his fiance, pretty young
woman, I'VE will be married on my re-
turn, after have taken Manila, but my
happiest capture will be the second.
"Around the steamer was an indie
soribable confusion; immense ferry boats
coming and going in all directions, car
rying loads of carriages carts and entire
trains, which, as soon as they reached
shore. ran off in all directions.
THOSE SWIFT BERRY BOATS.
"There were on the river five, ten, if
teen, twenty gigantic ferryboats, each
like moving highway in that collection
of ships of all tonnage, from trans ATTAIN
tic giants to fragile boats having the
lightnes5 of gulls. touching the water
with their white wings.
sit seemed each instant as though
these thousands of boats would collide
and crush one another with the clamor
of exaggerated sirens, but they passed
rapidly as the wind, almost grazing.
''More boats, more steamers, more tug
boats, always coming, without end, as
if the city sllhoutted in the background
was incessantly vomiting them forth to
invade the world.
L1BERTY'S GLORIOUS FORM.
Suddenly, standing erect, tower ing
in graceful, glorious pose, the Statue Of
Liberty appeared in the misty landscape
at the feet of the two cities which stretch
along the river banks as far as the eye
can see, and in which the buildings are
the highest of all the world.
1.-Two putting tugs drew our ship to the
dock, where crowds of people awaited the
arriving passengers.
1.-THE Prince hid himself from the Gu
riosity Of the people and the importuni-
ties of reporters. He darted into car
riage, which went aboard ferry boat and
journeyed to New York, ON the other side
of the Hudson.

ga reception by the President gave the
more royal than republican. At noon
two aides in full uniform came in the
Presidents carriage for the Prince at
his hotel to conduct him to the White
House. The palace is simple of construc-
ton, but surrounded by a very grand
and wonderful park.
1.-THE Prince was introduced into the
grand reception room by the officers of
the household. The Prince and suite
awaited the President. who soon arrived
and welcomed his royal guest. He is not
tall, is of robust appearance, his face
shaven, forehead large and bullying. and
his eyes lively and intelligent His en-
leon. M. McKinley's smile Is extremely
affable, md he took on an expression OF
genuine kindness as His Royal Highness
presented the members of his suite. Mr..
Mckinley had an amiable word for each
without being com monplaoe.
"After q few minutes conversation the
President proposed to the Prince drive
about the city. He then took him to Q
hotel, where he alighted. AS he entered
the salon the conversation continued on
Americans, their customs and habits.
''In the afternoon the Prince assembled
the Obelisk washington Monument). 100
metres high, and admired the panorama
of the city, which extended beyond the
reach of vision, having the aspect OF an
enormous park dotted with houses At
each crossin there are statues. surround
ed by trees and flowers in little parks.
JUGGERNAUTs THAT SHOW
MERCY.
"In the streets there run, silently ana
swiftly as arrows, tram cars, each carry
ing a large net to catch linprudent peoes-
trians who have not time to escape. 1t
might he said that pedestrians in the en-
crYn1,ered streets of American cities have
tn use the same agility as our trapeez
artists and have the same guard agains
accident as is used in cirouses-the net.
stAtS O'Clock there was gala dinner
in the White House In front of the pal
ace were crowds of people, who greeted
the Princes a trivial with continuous hur-
rahs.
"His Royal Highness entered the blue
salon, where he beheld, in ravishine toll
ettes. covered with jewels, the ladies of
the aristocratio democracy of Washing
ton, the diplomatic corps, the Vice Pres
ident, members of the government and q
number of invited guests of the Presi-
dent. The Prince saluted the President,

This is fortunate. An Investigation under

UP IN DREAMLAND.

"The next day was devoted to seeing
the city. The Prince visited the Produce
Exchange, were all the grain dealers of
New York assemble for their commercial
transactions, in feyerish pursuit of dol
lars. He assembled to the top of one of the
enormous 2o.story buildings, which line
the leading thoroughfare of the city, to
obtain panoramic view. In a second
the elevator took him to terrace over
looking New York, whose high chimneys
poisoned the air with their yellow smoke,
through which were seen regular blocks
of houses with streets crossing at right
angles.
"This bird 's-eye view does not resemble
the picturesque panorama of our old Eur
opean cities. here the monuments appear
small and the buildings excessively large.
One sees that all has been constructed
purely for the practical, hastily, with the
idea of greatness and comfort, and SO
grand in effect that the traveller believes
himself in dream until he sees across
the Brooklyn bridge, which Is outlined

"The mind is disconnected, the imagi-
nation surpassed; one cannot believe the
reality of this city, which seems to have
been built by giants.
''The Prince, still under the spell of
the profound impression, was conducted
to the Office of Lawyer Coudert, whom he
desired to visit. There nothing was like
the cabinet of one of our leaders of the
bar.
M. Condert occupies the 18th floor of
the building, and his offices contain 2
number of lawyers, each being q special
list who pleads only in affairs of his own
specially; one pleads in industrial cases,
another in inheritance, third in crimi-
nal, etc. All have acquired in their lima
experience and knowledge SO very great
that they become formidable adversaries.
1t is store of eloquence. divided into
departments with floors much as with our
European merchants.
The Portland daily press., 1898-08-30
LAWYERS CHARY OF SPEECH.

AT night the Prince, wishing to study
more this society of the palace y as we
say. dined at the Lawyers Club in this
club, marvellously installed, there is
most complete law library, with separate
rooms for study. "A curious thing most
of the lawyers were silent in their own
circles instead of talking much. Perhaps
they consider talk without pleading Is
time and energy lost.
Gin the United States neither time nor
money is lost. Time is money In New
York as we'll as in London.
The Prince was received in other club
of the city, and always there was the
greatest luxury and comfort that could be
imagined"
! THE PRINCE IN WASHINGTON.
"On March 10 the Prince went to WASH
ington to take part in series of fetes and
official ceremonies organized in his honor,
such as reception and dinner at the
White House.
ssNot until the following day did his
Royal Highness profit by the opportunity
to saunter about the city, where he much
admired the brightness and charm aocen-
trlated by dumps of trees and flowers in
the squares and parks.
"This luxurious capital. built of little
private hotels, surrounded by coQuettish
gardens, does not resemble New York,

SO violent a shock that he is not able to
render fitting account of what he sees.
