Significance of tho "Scotch Verdict Re-
turned by the People of Canada.
The full vote at the recent special election In
Canada on the prohibition amendment sub
mitted to the voters of the Dominion has not
yet been declared officially. but enough is
known to show that while ostensibly there was
majority In favor Of the amendment a large
majority OF the voters were either recorded
against, or were indifferent to. its adoption.
Temperance men andthe opponents of temper
ance Legislation in various parts of the United
States have been drawing their own deduc-
lions from the Canada p!ebiscite and some Of
these would seem to be very wide Of the mark,
The amendment submitted invited only an
expression Of opinion on the question whether
the elector favored Mt some future. indefinite
time the passage OF an act Of Parliament PRO
hlbiting the importation, manufacture or sale
Of spirits. wines, ales. beer or cider and all
other alcoholic liquors for use as beverages"
The adoption or rejection OF the amendment
was without legal effect. and the purpose ofthe
plebiscite was. in fact. this only: To disclose
the extent Of the support whichthe project had
and those opposed to it could either manifest
their dissent by voting no" or by not voting
at all. the result being in either case the same.
The prohibition plebiscite. therefore. was an
enumeration officially taken Of the temperance
men in the eight provinces. and from one point
OF view. at least. the numerical show made b
them was very disappointing. In four OF the
provinces there had previously been a vote on
the same question; in Manitoba in 1892, in
Ontario and Prince Edward Island in 1893, and
in. Nova Scotia in 1891. This is how the pro-
hibttion vote at the recent election compares
with the prohibition vote in each of them at
the previous election at Which the same Ques-

Unimaginative exactness, as a die
tionary defines liberalism, may not al
ways be the highest form of truth. but
its practice would be a mental tonic
to many vagrant minds. In we'll
known family where the wife recently
lay dying, an inquiry came by tele-
phone concerning her condition.
Knowing that the husband would hear
the reply, and wishing to save him
pain, the young girl answering the call
said that the patient was about the
same. A little later the speaker felt
a gentle arm about her shoulder. "Your
aunt is not nearly SO WE'LL" came the
slow words. "You had better call that
person up and say SO. Try always to
tell the exact truth" A more emphatic
instance comes from an old pupil of
the eccentric President Finney of
Oberlin. The girl was in distinctly bad
health, but meeting the president one
day, responded to his "How are your
with, Pretty we'll. thank you" tut,
tut" came his prompt reply, isn't that
n lie?"

STORY OF THE BATTLES.
Brave Pennsylvnnians Never Finch

Brave Pennsylvnnians Never Finch
Under u whitening Fire.
New York, Aug. ia copyrighted
cablegram from Manila bay to the
World gives the following particulars
Of the fighting near Malate on the
night of July 81:
Gen Greene's force, numbering
1900 men. had been advancing and en-
trenching. The arrival Of the third eX-
petition filed the Spaniards with rage
and they determined to give battle be-
fore Camp Dewey could be reinforced.
In the midst of raging typhoon, with
a tremendous downpour of rain, the
enemy's force, estimated at 5000 men,
attempted to surprise the camp. Our
pickets We're driven in and the
trenches assaulted. The brave Penn
sylvania men never flinched, but stood
their ground under a whitening fire.
The alarm spread and the First Cali
fornia regiment, with two companies
of the Third artillery. who fight with
rifles. were sent up to reinforce the
Pennsylvanians. The enemy were on
TOP of the trenches when these rein
forcements arrived. and never was the
discipline of the regulars better DEM
onstrated than by the work of the
Third artillery under Capt. O'Hara.
Nothing could be seen but the flashes
of Mauso" rifles. The men ran right
UP to the attacking spaniards and
moved them down with regular vol
leys. The Utah battery. under Capt.
Young, covered itself with glory. The
men pulled their guns through mud
axel deep. The guns We're sent around
in flank and poured in
Destructive EnRlading Fire.
The enemy was repulsed and retreated
in disorder Our infantry had eX-
hausted it's ammunition and did not
follow the enemy. Not an inch Of
ground was lost, but the scene in the
trenches was one never to be forgotten.
During the flashes Of lightning the
in blood-red water. but neither the ele-
ments of heaven nor the destructive
power of man could wiring cry of
protest from The wounded. They en-
couraged their comrades to fight. and
handed over their cartridge belts.
During the night the Spanish scouts
We're seen carrying off their dead and
wounded. The American dead We're
buried the next day in the Convent of
Maracaban. On the night Of Aug. 1
the fighting was renewed, but the en-
envy had been taught lesson. and
made the attack at long range with
heavy artillery. The Utah battery re-
piled and the artillery duel lasted an
hour. One man was killed. He was
Fred Springsted. First Colorado, and
two men We're wounded, and are this
morning reported dead. On the night
of Aug. 9 the artillery duel was re-
newed. Two men We're badly wound
ed. The total dead is thirteen, with
ten in the hospital mortally hurt. Some
estimates place the Spanish losses at
over 800 killed and wounded.

Gen. Sherman reviewed til
Army at the close Of the CivA .As
there been such an imposing d. mag
nificent military pageant as th8t wit
messed on the historic fields of Chick
amauga Park yesterday. Since I
came here week ago have visited
the hospitals and now, in order to
form AN immediate acquaintance with
MY command, its needs and demands,
have had the we'll men come to me.
These were Maj. Gen. Breckinridge's
words, meant to be in explanatory in
part Of the reason for holding the
great review at Camp Thomas, in
which the entire army of 10000 men
took part. The magnificent spectacle
was witnessed by large and deeply
interested crowd of spectators who
were thrilled with the scene as the
regiments marched by in the most per-
feet order, keeping time to the martial
strains of a score Of regimental bands
and field music organizations. 1t was
scene rarely witnessed in the his
tory of a nation, and the cleverness
and skill with which it was carried
out was high compliment to both
men and the officers in command. Gen.
Breckinridge and staff We're no less
pleased and gratified than the specta-
tors.
