An incident which is worthy of notice
appeared in the telegraphic news not
long ago, when reports of the Guam
tanamo battle reached Us. citizen of
Gloster England. telegraphed to the
mayor of Gloucester. Mass, expressing
sorrow for the fate of Dunphy. who fell
at Guantanamo, and was citizen of the
Bay State town. The Englishman added
that he hoped the reports of the mutila-
ton of American marines were not true.
The American mayor replied thanking
the people of the English town for their
sympathy, and remarked grimly, Re
port of mutilation correct" This little
episode shows how closely the people of
England are watching us in this struggle.
and how hearty their sympathy as a peo-
pie must be. Perhaps not all Americans
who read the report of the fight in that
Cuban harbor have noticed that Dunpny
came from Gloucester, Mass. This is huge
country, and the most of us have all we
can do to remember in which State is the
residence of our distinguished fellow-citi-
zen of any rank under that of a Presi-
dent. But it appears that the people of
England are so anxious to learn all they
can about this war that they notice de-
tails which escape the American reader.
And this goes TO prove that as several of
their spoResmen have intimated, they are
as a people most friendly and kind in
their feeling toward US, and that the
"Anglo-American alliance" if there is
one. will come about not only through
English statesmen, but through the wish
of the people.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations has been listening to a narrative
of experience on the proposed line of
the Nicaragua canal from Admiral Walk
er and Professor NJ. Lewis Haupt of the
Government canal commission. AS might
have been anticipated, both of these gen
tlemen are entirely convinced of the feas-
ibility of the work, and their assurance
to that effect ought to result in expedit-
ing It, The canal is an obvious and i'm
mediate national necessity.

(From the New Orleans Times -Democrat)
A Chnaman and an American discussing
the relative merits OF Spain and the United
States in the present war, and the latter asked
the former what he thought of the great achieve
ment of Admiral Dewey in destroying the Span

Generosity Followed by Thrift.
From the Boston Herald.)

(FTom the Boston HeTaid.)
The death of old Boston hotel waiter, leav-
ing $25, 900, which he is said to have received
in tips, revives the usual reflections on the tip
question The most obvious deduction from this
announcement is that the deceased was a good
waiter, who knew his business and stuck to it.
1t is also apparent that he knew how to save his
money after he had accumulated it. This is an
even greater and rarer accomplishment than max
ing money, and which too few people ap-
pre..iate the advantages of cultiyating.

An Obstacle to Pence.

From tho New York Commercial Advcrtiser.) }
The most serious obstacle to peace with Spain
is not military, though military success will tend
TO lessen and remove it. II is the dense ignorance
of the strength of the American nation and the
character of the American peop'c which prevails
among the people OF Spain The Government must
persist in hopeless war because it dagcs not tell
the people it is hopeless.

Cows With Earrings.

(From the New Orleans Times -Democrat)
A COW is the last creature one would expect to
see with earrings, yet every COW in Belgium must
wear them now. The director general Of agri-
culture has issued regulation that all animals
of the bovine species to earrings soon
as they have attained the age of three months.
Breeders are obliged TO keep exact account of
the animals raised by them. and the ring,
which is engraved the number, is fastened in the
animals to prevent the substitution of
animal for another.

The Beer Tax

(From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune)
Saloon keepers will have to be fine nathe-
maticans if they desire to deal justly with their
patrons The increased tax amounts to one
fifth of = cent glass, which would neccssitate
4 reduction in the volume of glass of beer Of
one-twenty fifth. To do this accurately a care
fully graduated pair of eallipo-s. Birmingham

As the President was last night under

The younger princes, four of them are

The princes one and all ride wheels. and
the two eldest have attained high de-
gree of proficiency, considering their age.
During the school holidays just now they
have both undertaken a wheeling tour
of 200 miles in length. Prince Henry, the
emperor's brother, is an enthusiastic
wheelman, and takes his machine" with
him wherever he goes. Even to China, on
board his flagship, he has taken it along,
and in Hong Kong a short time ago he
participated, it will be remembered, in
bicycle race which was got up in his
honor, winning the second prize.
Duke Ernest Guenther. brother of the
empress is also good and steady wheel
man, although thus far he has never COM
peted publicly, at races. The favorite
sister of the empress who is the wife of
Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia. and
who is notoriously unhappy with him,
finds consolation in riding the wheel
although both the emperor and empress
have repeatedly expressed their disap-
proval at this, as the princess is by no
means a safe and experienced rider, haY-
ing been run over at Potsdam last winter
by a vehicle with which she came into
collision. OF the sisters of the emperor,
only one is an expert bicyclist-the wife
of the prince of SchaumburgLippe
while his elder sister Crown Princess So
phie of Greece, gave up bicycling after
a trial of some weeks. Since last month
his youngest sister, Charlotte. the wife
of the hereditary prince of SaxeMeinin-
gen, has also begun to learn how to
wheel. In Bresau. where her husband is
military governor, she took her series of
lessons in public riding school, and she
is already doing well.

For their mother both princes have a
tender affection, and every time the en-
press comes TO Ploen they plan some sort
of a pleasant surprise for her. The meet

these occasions is a very joyful one. Both

with a good will. When they went 10 Ber-

The discipline TO which both boy princes
are subjected in Fqoen Is very strict and

ECHOES. FROM ABROAD.

In Germany the six sons of the imperial
couple are 9stgstnely POPULAR and their
appearance 1msthe streets of Berlin or
elsewhere Isl aiwAys a signal for a dis
play of curiosity Naturally, the oldest,
the crown pEincs-and future emperor, is
most observed OF all. and a good many
anecdotes abottIhim are in circulation.
He is just sixteeh now, and was confirm
ed in the evangelical faith two weeks
ago, the ceremony being surrounded with
good deal of court etiquette and a num-
Der of sovereigns seizing the opportunity
of comforting high decorations on the
youngster. Even the Sultan sent his ad-
jutant general, sAbduiiah Pasha, to Ber-
lip for the purpose of handing the young
prince one of the rarest Turkish orders,
that OF iftar of the first class.
The prince, next In age, Eitel Fritz.
shared the ceremony, but. of course. not
50 much was made OF him. These two,
Frederick William and Eitel Fritz have
always been together, both in study and
play, and they are very fond of each
other When they have a tiff, like other
boys, Ii is quickly over and neither bears
spite for an hour. But there is a striking
contrast between them not alone in out
ward appearance but also in point of
character and talents. The crown prince,
as he grows up. more and more closely
resembles his father, the emperor. He
is of ordinary height for his age is taci-
turn. sedate beyond his years and of a
quiet. bulldog sort of energy. His younger
brother is Just the reverse. being gay,
debonair. full of boyish tricks and humor
always pleasant and very affectionatc in
his disposition. Up to six months ago
he was taller and stronger than his elder
brother, though two years his junior, and
much quicker in learning, though just as
quick in forgetting his lessons. He was
also by far the handsomer of the two
and everywhere he went he was the de-
ciared fayorite of the populace. Recently,
however the crown prince has begun to
develop rapidly. and in height and girth
he has now beaten his younger brother !
When the imperial lads were taken, a
year ago, to Ploen. in Holstein, where
their mother the empress. was born, and
where she has frequently visited them
during that time 1t was done to put them
At some distance from Berlin where they

model scholars so as to act as tonic on
the TWO princes. and the majority of them
are sons of middle-class families, with
only a sprinkiing of young aristocrats
among them. The experiment has fully
answered expectations. and the crown
prince particularly has had his ambition
fairly reused by this direct competition
with the sons of the people.
