which make colosed glass equal to gems
without price.
Fine Modern Rubies.
In London society the Duchess Of Sake
Coburg Gotha as Russian princess,
possesses the finest parure of rubies
known, and the Duchess of Marlborough,
Lady Cunard Mrs Bradley Martin and
Mrs. Aver are Americans noted in London
for their rubies.
The last mentioned possesses some Of
the finest of the famed Mazarin stones,
Russia, being 1.-THE jewel box OF Europe"

From the London Telegraph.

Hip. hip, hurrah,'' has always been re-
garded as a thoroughly British cry, typi-
cal of the exuberant temperament of The
race Compared with IL, The ''ViVe" of the
Frenchman the "Hoch" of the German
and Tile "SlaVa" of the Russian are lame
and expressionless; but the Hip, hip
hurrah" from AEglo-Saxon threats rings
through the spheres the carries everything
before it. 1t is cruel blow to find that
the words are not English at all. The one
consolation left us is that they were not
made in Germany" A gentleman named
Adams has been investigating the mys-
teries OF the pyramids and monuments of
Egypt and has found the phrase Hip,
hip hurrah" among the early hierogly-
phics of that country. The only consola-
ton derivable from this remarkable dis
covery is the argument which may rea-
sonably be deduced that the presence of
these British words among the etymologi-
cal treasures Of Pharaoh-land give US an
a priori right to the whole of the Nile
Valley And this theory is strengthened
by the fact that according 10 Mr.. Adams
the hieroglyphic Hip, hip, hurrah"
means, when translated, "On, on to plum
der"
An Irish Psychologist writes to assert
that the phrase came from Pharaohland
via Dublin. In the words of SIR James
Ware Q595-l666,) the famous Hibernian
historian and antlquary Of Ireland, there
is a passage which says, Some writer's
think that ireland was called Scotia, from
Scotia, the wife of Gaethefus, and daugh-
ter of a King Pharaoh, but Of which
name / know not; and that the Irish
language was invented by the same
Gaethelus, from whome It was called Gaze
lie. Others say that another Scotia, also
a. daughter of king of Egypt, married
AIilesius. and gave the name Of Scotia to
Ireland" Thus. says our Hibernico- Egypt
ian correspondent, Hip. hip hurrah &"
can well be Egypto-Irish, only the tran
station would have been happier, as "On
ON to conquer" for conquer means TO take
by force of arms, while plumber Is to take
by force of hands-grab in the parlance Of
the day.

PRESIDENT is GRATIFIED.

Proceedings at The Hague Please
Washington Officials.
Washington, May 29-The President and
Secretary Hay are gratifed All the prece-
dance given by The Hague conference 10
arbitration, the subject of which is re-
Corded as mainly American in convention
The detailed scheme of arbitration. which
is 10 be proposed by the United States
delegation, was carefully wrought out at
the state department before the commits
sioners sailed from New York 1t will be
laid before the conference probably to-
morrow.
The details of the American project can
not be divulged now, as a matter of
courtesy TO the conference, but it can be
stated that the American project is re-
markable al once for it's simplicity and
comprehensiveness.
The news from The Hague that the
British and Russian representatives, are
confering with a view to reooncllng the
points of difference in their two schemes
Of arbitration, gives satisfaction here, for
the reason that it promises we'll for an
easy amalgamaIion of opposing schemes
with the American project, the latter be
ing very similar in principle to the British
plan
The reported decision of the conference
to admit as a subject for elaboration and
action the American proposition to exempt
private property from seizure at sea is
also gratifying, The assurance that Eng
land who has long held aloof, will give
her support to the American proposition,
is believed almost TO insure it's adoption,
and if this should be the case the state
department would regard that one result
as more than repaying the nations con-
cerned for the cost and trouble of as
s9mbling the conference.
The American delegates are still having
a free hand. Secretary Hay finding no oc-
casion to add materially to their instruc-
tons since they entered the conference.

HOW LIEUT.. FRENCH DIED.
Trying 10 Save a DOdy of FiIipinOs
From AnnihiIatiOn.

From AnnihiIatfOn.
Washington, May 29.-The war depart
mont made public to-day two more of The
reports of operations around Manila early
in February. They are from Col. Keer-
line, First Montana, and Maj. Mallory
inspector general of United States volun-
teers.
Col. Keerline's regiment is the one
which was in close touch with the Penn
sylvania regiment in its capture of the
Chinese cemetery. as detailed in a report
from the commander of that regiment
made public some days ago. The
story does not differ materially
from that of the Pennsylvania COM
mander.
Col Keerline states that his regiment
took part in the charge of the cemetery,
whose possession was strongly contested
by large force of natives. The regiment
subsequently helped 10 capture and oc-
cupy Caloocan, losing one man killed and
twenty-three wounded.
Mai MaIory's report deals principally
with the operations on the further side Of
Caloocan, about Feb. %, when an outpost
of the Kansas regiment was driven in by
"A sortie of the insurgents. This outpost
consisted of only non commissioned Of
hcer and eight men. Maj, Mallory was
sent with Company I of the First Mon
tana 70 recapture it, which he did prompt
" There was a hot fight with the insGr-
gents i'm the maze of bikes and rice fields
on the east of the town, and here il was
that Lieut.. French was killed while trying
to save party of Filpinos from annihia-
ton.
These natives had been surrounded by
the advance of the First Montana, and
were cut off from retreat in every direc-
ton They signifed that they wished to
surrender. Lieut.. French stood up, waving
his hat. called In Spanish that if they
would come over they would be safe. Just
then a shot was fired, apparently from a
hut he was trying to save. 1t struck him
in the chest and he died almost instantly.
The report is silent as to the subsequent
fate of the group of Filipinos.

WORKING ON ARBITRATION.
PROPOSALS WE'RE SUBMITTED By
THREE COUNTRIES.

Reuort That "a Proposal Has Been
submitted by the United States Is
Ipcorrect-Their Proposal for a
permanent Tribunal Must First
Re Translated Into French-Amer-
loan Proposals Will Go in During
The Present Week.
The Hague, May "a brief official
record Of doings of the peace conference
during the past week says:
provisional proposals for mediation and
arbitration have been submitted by the
representatives. of Russia, Great Britain,
italy and the United States
The correspondent here of the Associat-
ed Press learns that the statement that
the Americans have submitted an arbitra-
ton proposal is not correct. Their pro-
posals for a permanent tribunal are not
ready, as a French translation is neces-
sary. They will probably be submitted
on Wednesday.
Count Nigra, chief of the Italian dele
CATION, submitted a proposal of mediation
and arbitration consisting of six articles,
in the form of an amendment to the Rus
sian project.
The Americans also Submitted an
amendment demanding that, in the event
of a dispute between two nations, each
should choose another nation to act to-
gether as arbitrators to settle the differ
ence without boodshed. This must not
be confonded with the proposal for a
permanent arbitration tribunal, which the
Americans will introduce during the week.
