The game W as temporarily unheeded as the spectators, as one man, rose to their feet and cheered and cheered again the proud emblem of liberty.
 T hree e thousand people cheered "Old Glory" yesterday at Recreation F a r k with a fervor that would have been an impressive object lesson to the Span ish Ministry could they have witnessed the scene and heard the outburst.
 It was during the last half of the sec ond inning of the national game on the C ali f o r n i a League grounds, and Fresno was in the throes of wiping out the lead of one run held by San Fran cisco, when the roll of a drum rattled through the grand stand, followed by the dear old strains of Yankee Doodle A moment later a band, preceded by President M c F i k 6 and Colonel T.

Iought, but the Spanish feet is evid
ehtly Keeping out of his way. In the
meantime the preparations are goine
on TO land between 10000 to SO, OO1
troops in Cuba.
The first section of the army to in.
wade Cub will be the $4,000 to 18. .OOC
troops that are now assembled at New
orleans and Tampa. They are all reg
ulars, and most of them are men who
nave seen actual fighting on the plains,
Ihey are seasoned, disciplined and eff.
tiectlve. They will be followed at once
by another army of $4,000 volunteers,
who will be concentrated at Southern
ports as quickly as the trains can carry
them, and will be transported as fast as
the necessary ships can be collected. II
is estimated that it will take at least
three hundred vessels to carry this i'm
mense army to Cuba. Nearly every
thing that floats has already been Sc
cured by the government in all the
principal seaport towns.
Other details of the great expedition
including 1900 wagons at Tampa and
1000 mules. Several hundred am
balances will also he hurried to Tampa.
There is considerable concern about
Admiral Dewey, at Manila, and the
delay in supplying him with troops
and the danger in delay, 10, 900 troops
are to start for there this week by the
city of Pekin and the cruiser Charles
ton.
The garrison and people at Manila
are suffering for food So are the
people of Havana and other blockaded
cities of Cuba, while the miserable re-
concentrates are reported to be dying
by hundreds, from sheer starvation.
There could be no more striking proof
OF the financial strength of this country
than the fact that in time of war It
can issue 800, 900, 900 worth of bonds
and have them all taken at home. It
is doubtful if any other country on the
globe except England could do as
much.
In an interview Senator Hanna saws
that every soldier who has been at
Columbus will be rushed to Cuba as
soon as Rear-Admiral Sampson has
destroyed the Spanish fleet. He saws
1T would require $4,000 men to occupy
Cuba, and that it is costing the gov
ernment $1,0O0,OOO day to prosecute
the war even at the present stage.
Some of the Continental Powers of
Europe appear to be agitated about
the probable occupancy of the Philip
pine Islands by the United States.
They seem to think that we have no
business there and wish to circum-
scribe our efforts for therelief of Cuba;
and to forbid, by inference, that we
should strike Spain in any other quar-
ter.
With his accustomed plainness of
speech Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio has ex-
pressed his intention of opposing anv
to enable this Govern
ment to take part in the Paris Exposi-
tlon of 1900. ''I am sick of France" "
the General is reported as saying, ''and
l intend to make the fact known in
Congress and out of it."

the bombaSt and brag of dema-
gogueS about buying only home
manufactures, not one customer in
ten thousand, working people in

They want them cheap, cheap,
cheap. And forty years expert
ence proves that not one person in
twenty thousand will pay more for
American makes than the goods un-

than the manufacturers choose to
make them in America.

Light and Artificial Fog.

The production of cloud by the action
of ultra violet light was demonstrated
at a soiree at the Royal society by q. T.
R. Wilson. The beam from an arc lamp
was focused by quartz lens in tube
containing moist air free from dust. In
a few minutes a blue fog was seen to
form in the illuminated cone, and this
fog could be made to move by applying
heat to the tube locally. When the ul-
ira violet rays were cut off by sheet of
mica, no such formation took place, and
it is therefore suggested that the small
particles which give rise to the blue Of
the sky are produced by the ultra violet
rays of sunlight absorbed in the upper
layers of the atmosphere. Engineering.
