MORGAN CITY. La, Juno 2.-When Roosc-
velLIs rough riders passed through this town
two days ago each train was greeted with u
salute from two cannon planted in front of the
depot; These old guns bear stamped in their
breech the mark of "lsl5." During the civil
war they found thor way from New Orleans to
tho rampnrts at old Fort Chene, on Bayou Chcne,
this parish. When tho Washington Artillery
were about to give their famous excursion
hero Ave years ago. Baron Natili had
caused to be prepared old Fort Star,
in ordcr, to lend a military aspect to the
place. lie WAS at \ loss for guns to mount on
his fort, when an old hunter and trapper told
him that there were some submerged cannon at
Fort Chcnc. Tho Baron got together n crowd Of
men, and on a ting proceeded 10 what had been
Fort Chene. Undergrowth and trrcs had de-
stroyed all the formation of the place, and it
was only after many hours OF search and hard
labor that these cannon were pulled from the
mud and mire into which they had topplcd.
They were. then mounted on Fort Star. and
when patriotism became rampant among the
citizens OF Morgan City q committee was Sc.
lected to investigate the old guns. Two were
found to be serviceable. and every rumor of
good news and every lrainload o. soldiers is
treated to the roar OF what was once one of the
big guns of Its day.

The Philadelphia Press asked the mem.
'bers of the Pennsylvania Republican State
Convention, which met at Harrisburg last
Thursday. for their opinion as to the an
nexation of the Philippine stands to the
United States. The poll stood as follows:
For annexation, 305 /; against annexation,
80; expressing no opinion or not found,
is. So the annexationists have 1t by O
vote of nearly ten to one.
In view of the extremely short time tina
has passed since the Philippine question
addressed itself to public sentiment, and
taking into account the continuous excite
ments and distractions of the war, the re-
suit of the vote of the Pennsylvania Re-
publican delegates is significant.
We presume that the Pennsylvania pro-
portion of annexationists to opponents of
annexation Is about the same as obtains
in other parts of the country, with the pos.
sible exception of Mugwump.infected dis
trists like the Boston pale in Eastern Mas.
Bachusetts, and of certain sections of the
West and South where the Ocala and
Omaha and Chicago platforms are still
cherished tenderly, and the worship of the
10 to / fetish may still blind some eyes to
the splendid potentialitics of
and wealth which the Philippines contain
for the United States.
There Is this to be said of the dissenting
thirty 1.-TWO. The probability is that many
or most Of them will change their minds
when they have considered the matter
more thoroughly and formed a more cor.
rect estimate of the value of the mag.
niflcent prize which they are now ready
to fling away. We have noticed that
outside of the hopeless Mugwumps, who
seem to have a sort of irresistible instinct
for opposing everything that conduces to
the advantage Of the United States, some
very estimable citizens oppose the annexa-
tion of the Philippines. because they are
men of conservative habit and unconscious.
ly opposed to any policy which they regard
as an innovation. But they are usually
men of fair minds and open to conviction.
The moro they think about this business,
the sooner they will discover that the cues.

States to keep the ~PhilippinesT' but ais

say that Handsome BoB's portraits, probably

The Dress OF WheeIwomen.

Inc veXatlous but highly interesting
question conc rning the proper dress for
women bicyclists appears to have been set
tied In New York with general satisfac-
tion, and the hours which wheelwomen
once devoted to selecting a costume are
now spent riding in the open air. But,
according to the London Globe, skirts and
their substitutes for the wheel are still
agitating the minds of Englishmen. In a
recent issue the Globe says:
what costume a lady cyclist shall wear by closing
their doors to all females without skirts; and pres
entity Mr.. BUSo will decree how many inches from
the ground q skirt may be-"
II our English cousins are wise they will
decree nothing of the sort. They will per-
NIT the wheelwomen to exercise their own
judgment in the matter. II they choose to
wear boomers, let them. If they choose
to wear "knickers," let them. If they
choose to wear divided skirts or skirts that
are subdividcd, let them. Or, il they
choose to wear skirts abbreviated sufi.
ciently to exhibit the beauty of their boot
tops, let them do that. Time has shown
that the riders are able to decide the ques-
ton of dress with n better understanding
than most of their critics.
Take the American wheelwoman, for ex-
ample. Until recently no two of them ped
allied their way in costumes exactly alike.
Each was experimenting for herself. Some
wore this style of dress, some that, and
some the other, and occasionally one was
seen in an attire that challenged all its
rivals and threw the most approved fashion
nlatpS intn n total arlinua NilJ quail
pedestrians looked askance when such WIS.,
Ions of sweetness wheeled by, and they
were talked about for days afterward. But
of course not every maiden, though fair,
would look as well In n mans clothes as In
her own, and one by one the beauties with
the trousers, or with apologies for them,
disappeared. To-day only a handful of the
old school remain.
But the graceful and becoming bicycle
skirt OF the sisterhood of to-day was not
adopted to please the "Dorking publican"
the dyspeptic old chatterbox, or the incur
able crank. Not much. 1t Is purely the
outgrowth of experiments conducted with
a view to comfort, aesthetic principles, and
feminine dignity. II the good sense of
American wheelwomen would permit, no
doubt most of them would cheerfully don
crimson knickerbockers just for the sake
Of irritating meddlesome old fogies. Grim.
son knickerbockers, however. are not essen
tial to the accomplishment of that purpose ;
her ladyship's ability to whiz past the silly
faultinders and cave them to reyel in their
W boundless stupidity provides ample
revenge.
A prominent French cyclist who visited
this country not long ago reported that in
Paris every decent wheelwoman wore
boomers, and that only the demt.monde,
VIII wished to attract the attention of men,
made skirts a part of their wheeling cos.
tune. But Paris isn't New York. Here a
wheelwoman without a skirt is almost as
pitiable as a man without a country, and,
happily, both specimens are rare.
