LONDON COMMENT.
German Commanders Conduct May
Increase the Tension.

German Commanders Conduct May
Increase the Tension.
London, Aug. 1.-THE papers this
morning comment upon the unheroic
and theatrical figures cut by Governors
General Augusti and Blanco. The
Daily News congratuiates Admiral
Dewey upon the humanity he displayed.
The Daily Chronicle says: THE ac-
ton of the German commander in re-
moving General Augusta is likely to in
crease the tension between Germany
and America. 1t is evident from the
order given to the Kynoch company of
Birmingham for a large number of mill
itary cartridges that, although the war
is over, the crisis still exists"
The Standard says: THE fall of Ma
Mia gives America valuable assets in
peace negotiations, bat does not di-
minish the difficulty which President
Mckinley will have to face. The over
throw of Spanish rule seems likely to
reduce the Philippines to a state of an
archy, unless measures are taken to
provide them with a stable govern
ment"
The Standards. article comments
upon the magnitude of the results, con-
trasted with the limited scale of the
operations of the war.

Meeting of the lawmakers,

On Friday last meeting of the old
Haymaker rifle team took place in
Oakland at which Messrs. William Il.
Steyer, Geo. d. and John F. Brown
ing, r. S. Jamison and James Painter
were present. Owing to illness Mr.
p. A. Chisholm could not be at the
meeting.
1t was the purpose to reorganize
the team but owing to the fact that
so few of the members were present
it was decided to postpone reorgani-
zation until some future time. Tar
get practice, however, was INDUCED
in during the afternoon and the re-
suits showed that although many of
the 'boys' were getting old and were
out of practice they could still hold
their rifles steady and made remark
able records. They shot over the
Washington Spring range at dis
tance of two hundred yards and scor-

We are assured that if the men are
furnished with improved rifles and a
few weeks practice they will be able
to make Spaniard turn up his toes
at every report of their guns.

The Blessings OF War.

Rev. o. G. Miller, known and loved
by many people of Oakland and vicin-
ity, and who is now preaching in San
Francisco besides editing church
paper there, says in the current mum
Der of his periodical:
"War is. by no means an unmitiga-
ted evil, but great advantages accrue
to the race therefrom. Nations like
the martyrs of material love, die to
give birth to the new and better re-
gime. We must not forget that there
is divine surgery. Wars thrust
men out from the lap of luxury, and
save them from becoming a race of
weaklings Wars with foreign powers
amalgamate, unity, and save from
sectional strife. 1t is in war that we
learn the value and necessity of sacri-
fee Our own nation needs to be
saved from partisan strife, and com
mercial and social upheaval will do
US good. Life in our land is becoming
too 2aeseKllic-tame. We need war to
bring back the lost gem of the heroic
and patriotic. If be asked Ought
we to have gone to war with Spain?'
l answer that there is that which is
more than human life, and must be
maintained at all hazards. 1t is ma
tional honor, and the eternal princi-
Piles of justice and humanity. War
would teach us our helplessness and
dependence upon God. And to set
proper value upon that which is
worth more than gold. The nations
are now like stones in a quarry; they
impinge upon one another, and when
one is shaken we cannot tell where it
will end. But the sure word of proph-
ecy has told us that before our Lord s
return the whole earth shall be in
volved in war, and above its final din
shall resound the Bethlehem anthem
of the second coming of our Lord.

An Old Minister Full of Fight.

Rev. Wesley Blakely, who claims
to be one of the oldest ministers in
the United States, being 107 years of
age, having been born in 1891, is said
to be eager to enlist in the present
war
Rev. Blakely resides near Parsons,
w. Va, and is said to be hale and
hearty, walking about his premises
like a school boy. He has lived four
generations, and his lineal descend
ants number 1,091. Numerically they
are as follows: OF the first generation,
II; second generation 81; third gener-
alton, 681; fourth generation, 302, fifth
generation, SO.
1t is said that were it not for his
age, which would be a bar against
the minister becoming soldier, that
he would enlist with his state troops,
as no man in that section is more en-
thusiastic on the war subject.

in them, and variety is the spice of life
There are no spring flowers ON their
spring hats, summer blossoms have no
place there, and all the delicious piles ~
lace, feathers, ribbons, velvets and in
fact, more things than / can mention
now, are for others, not for the Spanish
ladies. feel sorry for them.
The shepherdess shapes were rather
lost sight of for little while, but now
they have regained their first position
and are so very becoming and graceful
that it is no wonder. They are made Of
rice straw, chip, neapolitan and rough
and ready. The newest has the magpie
effect-that is to say, the mixture Of
black and white very prominent. White
crepe lisse for foundation OVERLAND
with fine chantilly is very elegant. The
delicate pattern of the black lace shows
up exquisitely over it.
Large, soft leghorn, milan and several
other flexible braids are made with wide
brims, and they are turned and twisted
in every direction, and the trimming is
set in accordingly. These are essentially
for the summer girl. Some are piled
high with fluffy light plumes. The
white plumes have black polka dots on
them at irregular intervals, and the
black ones have white dots-not all, but
the latest. There is a round turbanlike
hat of glistening rushlike straw. In
brown, with all the trimming in differ.
ent shades of brown, it is a handsome
hat.
For travelling there seems to be an
unwritten law to the effect that close
dark straws with one side tipped up
ward is just the thing. These have
trimming of the least perishable kind,
like eagle and fishhawk feathers, and a
little drapery of some light material.
For small girls there are the prettiest
hats have ever seen, think. The hat
is of light rough straw with the brim
bent in irregular waves and a medium
high crown. Girls of to IL may have
taffeta ribbon and perhaps a few deli
cate flowers like lilies of the valley,
blue forgetmenots or daisies. Daisies
never loose their popularity. Few hats
for children have plumes now.
For the little Dotty Dimples the shape
of the hat may be the same, with fittings
and double frillings of white null, with
two to three very narrow ruffles at the
edge of them all. These are sometimes
pale pink or blue. In apple green they
look lovely, and so cool. Sometimes
these hats are turned into poke bonnets
by skillful manipulation, and the inner
part is faced with pretty shirring.
Out of ten hats l counted seven of
them shepherdess shape. One was all
black, of lace and ribbon, with a mar.

The designs for fall gowns are re-

lonable lace. Luxepil is another heavy
lace, but this is mostly in narrow band
