CYCLING COURTESY.
A Correspondent Tells of Some Span

Poultney Bigelow, the well known

of Spain on his bicycle. or bike" as

his strongest impressions is the cour-

Harper'S Weekly ne refers 10 TINS punt

HOBSON'S ADDRESS.
Account of the Greatest Infantry
Charge In History.

Golfers Weekly: Lieutenant Hob
son. in hissrecent address at the Metro
politan opera house, mentioned, among
other things, a spectacle which, from a
proscenium window in prison, he had
beheld and which it had been authori-
tatively stated could not be performed.
The prelude lasted 20 days During that
period he watched the Spanfards forti-
flying Santiago. He saw them fetching
guns from their ships. and place them
there And then. just as though our
troops had waited until everything was
ready for Their. reception he. saw the
unsupported infantry advance. he heard
the singing OF the bullets. the banging
of the guns, and through it all, through
the thanking artillery, through the tear
ing shrapnel, through the streams of
fire, through the red and white of the
furnished dawn, he saw the advance
continue the fight of the foe the rush
of the infantry, the dash up the hill,
the capture of the Notifications, the
feat which experts had decided could
never be performed. Nor could it be-
fore Nor can it be duplicated now. To
find anything resembling it one has to
go back TO the remoteness Of the
Fighting Fifties and the Balaklava
charge. e-st ~

"KING OF THE PLACE"
Levity and Irreverence of Young
Americans.


The Ievity and irreverence character
istic of young America, or at least of
that class of young America whose
manners make them most conspicuous,
is to be deplored, says the Youths
Companion. 1t is not. however, entire
ly modern fault. though it has I'M
fortunately increased during recent
years. But there have been feather
brains and saucy tongues among the
young folks of every age.
\ recent English publication, The
r Girlhood of Maria JOsepha Holroyd, y
gives an amusing glimpse of the way
in which a young girl, charming, fresh,
well-bred, of noble family-She was the
daughter of Lord Sheffield-and &C
cuainted with the life of town house,
country house and court in her day,
could let her gay and girlish tongue
run away with her, When writing to
an intimate friend a hundred years
ago. Gibbon, the historian, was a close
friend of her fathers and Miss Holroyd
naturally had many opportunities of
listening to the famous mans CONVEX
sation. She met him at Lausanne, and
wrote thus to her correspondent:
when Gibbon, the King of the Place,
as he is called here opens. his mouth
(Which you know he generally does
some time before he has arranged his
sentence) all wait in awful and re-
Spectful silence for what shall follow,
and look up to it as to an oracle"
An oracle which, it may be inferred,
the lively Miss Holroyd at least failed
to venerate very deeply, since she else
where gayly chats of the great man
in even lighter vein, speaking of him
simply as Glib"
He had. as is well known, relin-
quished the lady of his heart at the
desire of his father. In his own care
fully polished phrase he had sighed
like a lover and obeyed like a son"
but it appears that his disappointment
did leave him too love-lorn to be aware
of the charms of other ladies. He had
admitted in Miss Horoyds hearing
that the piercing black eyes of lovely
Frenchwoman Nine. de Montoleu, had
so affected him that he narrowly es-
capped committing matrimony, upon
which the English girl tartIy COM
ments:
1T never occurs to him that she
might have refused him, and l dare
swear he would sooner believe mir
acle than that a sensible woman should
show such a want Of TASTE
That may be fair. though it sounds
like a little touch of malice, but, after
ALL what remark of a saucy girl about
great historian could so powerfully
affect our imagination as the mere fact
that in her mind our Gibbon-the Glib
bon of the Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire"-did not exist? He
had declined and fallen to plain Glib"

London, Aug. 29.-The Manila CORE
spondent of the Times says: The sit
uation, although undoubtedly unsatis-
factory, remains unchanged, pending a
final settlement Aguinaldo proposes to
remove his headquarters Immediately
to the town of Manolos, province of
Bulacan, situated on the railway line
20 miles north of Manila There he
will shortly assemble a congress chosen
from the leading Filipinos who favor
the insurgent cause. He further IN
tends to send representative to Paris
TO argue his claims for the-establlsh-
ment of an inSurgent republic.
Manolos is an excellent strategic
point, covering a rice and tobacco dis
trict, besides the route to Biacnabato,
where the SpaniardS were formerly
obliged to make a treaty by which they
purchased a cession of hostilities.
The movement was probably neces-
sary, partly because Aguinaldo was
fast losing influence in the province of
Cavite. where the insurgents evidently
expected to be permitted TO occupy
Manila conformity with the Americans.
Considerable dissatisfaction is appar-
ent among the insurgent troops, and a
frank expression of opinion is frequent
ly heard that Aguinaldo Is again SELL
ing the cause.
Manila. Aug. 2S.-Steamers are en-
tering the river as usual. The Ameri-
cans are temporarily maintaining the
former Spanish tariff. Business is
brisk.
The United States warships Raleigh
and Olympia have gone to HonSkong
to go into dock. Admiral Dewey has
transferred his flag to the Baltimore.
MERRITT GOES TO PARIS.
General Merritt will sail on the
steamship China Tuesday on his way
to Paris to attend the sessions of the
peace conference. No agreement has
yet been reached with Aguinaldo on
any subject, though circumstantial ru-
mors are current that everything has
been settled to the mutual satisfaction
of those concerned.
Washington, Aug. 2S.-No confirma-
ton could be obtained tonight from
officials of the war department of the
report that General Merritt would sail
next Tuesday from Manila to attend
the sessions of the peace conference at
Paris. There are reasons for the be-
lief. however that the report is cor
rect, although the war department
may not be advised yet as to the eX-
act date of General Merritts departure
from Manila.
General Merritt's. instructions when
he went to the Philippines were to
thoroughly familiariZe himself with
the situation on the islands. These in
structions probably were given him in
anticipation of the peace conference.

All politicians are inclined to sneer at

The general belief is, however, that all

of the document and pay tribute to the

business of the ocean. He lived near
the sea, and it was hus custom to have
himself taken to the beach when the
weather was fair, and there he would
sit until his friends returned him to his

and he saw the ocean for a moment,
and then the light went out forever.

can flags which concealed the statue
and the heroic bronze figure of, Aus
tin Blair stood revealed TO the gaze
of 100000 citizens Of Michigan, mighty

the $4,000 appropriation has been ex-
pended. The statue cost $1,000; pc
destal, S2,293.o4; architects, $172.30;
