How Fred Douglass Sought to Coach
the Great "Schliemann.

How Fred DOuglass Sought to Coach
the Great Schliemann.
A writer In Forest and Stream tells the
following story of two celebrated men:
DIR. Schliemann. the great investigator, Of
Trojan and Grecian antiquities, had been
spending the winter up the Nile and re-
turned to Athens m the same steamer
with the Hon. Fred Douglass and his
wife. During dinner on the first day out
Mr.. Douglass turned to DR.. Sohliemann,
who was seated at his right, and asked:
"DoyOu intend to make much of a stay
In Greece?"
"Yes, I guess so," returned the other.
"Well, you'll find it q very interesting
country" said Douglass. II have never
Travelled there, although I nave always
been much interested in 1t. OF course all
countries are more or less alike in their
physical features. They all have their
air and sky, their hills and plains, their
lakes and rivers, but it is not so much
that which interests us as the history of
the people who live or .have lived In q
country"
"Yes, I guess 3d." replied DR.. Sohlie-
mann.
CHOW, from my earliest reading I have
been particularly interested in the history
of the ancient Greeks"
eyes, l guess SO, :" assented Schliemann.
81 find I nave forgotten a great deal Of
my Greek history, but lately I came across
a little book that has proved invaluable
to me in recalling SO much that I had for
gotten about Greece and the Greeks"
eyes, I guess sop
Snow, if you, sir, intend to make much
of q stay in Greece, I would recommend
you to obtain u copy of the book. It is
Murray's Guide"
At this moment DR.. Schliemann was
taken with a fit of coughing SO violent
that every one was alarmed, but ho recov-
cred in time to make his customary assent,
which probably seemed to him especially
suited to an American:
"Yes, I guess sol"
It was not long after this that he ascend.
ed Mount Parnassus with Professor Muir
ray, who was responsible for tho valuable
but elementary Guide in question.
Some n who had been present during
the conversation then retailed it, and
Murray, with peals Of laughter, declared
1t the best joke Of his life that his modest
guidebook had been recommended to the
study of the man who knew more about
ancient Greece than any other person liv'
Ina.

ADMINISTRATION DISTURBED.

Advlces from Washington state that in
administration circles great annoyance
has been caused by. and great indigna-
ton IS manifested at. the round robin"
of tho Manila correspondents. Although,
says one Washington special. there Is
an effort 10 treat the protest lightly and
minimize it's Importance, Il is evident that
nothing has occurred for a long time
that has given the administration greater
concern. And. naturally. The protest
lEis not only shown that the military
power in the Philippines was used TO
force the correspondents 10 cable delibc-
rate falsehoods TO this country touching
the conditions in the Philippines and the
effectiveness Of our operations, but il has
resulted in opening the eyes of the public
10 the fact that primarily political
considerations and Mr. Mckinley's am
bition 10 succeed himself inspired the
censorship outrage.
The round robin" sets forth that Gen
eral Otis essayed to justify his action on
the ground that the truth would alarm
the people at home or have the United
States by the ears" But IT is clear from
the CONSERVATION that reigns around
the White House and the observations Of
the Washington correspondents that this
plea was as false az some of the state
ments the signers of the protest were
constrained to make.
II is patent that it was not the fear
of alarm, but of the effect of alarm upon
Mr.. McKiney's political fortunes that lea
TO the censorship the Manila newspaper
men have denounced. The Philippine war
has been steadily growing in unpopularity,
and considering this. an expose of the
real conditions on the islands was calcu-
lated to prove disastrous 10 the Republic
can party in the fall elections. Republic
can disaster then would probably mean
the death Of Mcl<inley's hopes for 1900,
and il was essential to him that the peo-
pie should be kept in ignorance of the
desperate straits into which he had pre-
cipitatod Us in the Philippines until we
could mend our grip in that quarter, or
a. was TOO late for the truth TO influence
the coming canvass Therefore, reduced
10 its last analysis. the forcing of the
Manila correspondents to oe!petrate false
hood and fraud was but "a part OF con-
spiracy to bolster up McKinley's political
interests. a fact that renders all the more
deep-dyed the disgraccfulness OF the whole
proceeding.

.pATRroTs FoR pELF.-

few DAYS ago We noted that Kansas
Grand Army OF the Republic Post had
called t<on the Deity to remove Presi-
dent Mckinley because OF the latter's
failure 10 remove Commissioners
sions Evans. the grievance against Evans
being that he Is trying to protect the
Treasury from further looting by pen
sion sharks, camp followers, bummers'
and others who have no claim on the
government. Now it Is learned that
Kansas Grand Army official has been In
Washington investigating the Pension
Bureau, and he is quoted In an inter-
view as saying: "Tnere are oSooo ola
soldiers in Kansas. Each VIII average
az least two male descendants, and they
vote largely as the Old mans pension Is
affected. We will have no trouble III
getting them 10 vote with the hepuon-
cans If the matter IL settled as we Grand
Army OF the Republic men think 1t
ought TO be. Otherwise the state VIII 60
over to the Populists."
Than this. could there be more I'M
blushing acknowledgment that the
Grand Army OF the Republic is Tor the
most part vast political machine, or
ganized to hold the rod Of coercion over
the politicians. and through them extolt
money from the Masses
And the worst Of 1t Is that no man can
count upon the limits OF the proportions
of the organization. or on how nluch II
will take 10 satiate it's greed. ALREADY
pension payments are nearly five times
greater than what leading honest Union
veterans and public men predicted would
be their maximum. Yet the cry Is sun
for more. Year by year more FRAUDS
and cheats are being added TO the PEN
sion rolls, and the true veteran who
dares to protest against this robbery is
howled down as a soldier mater
When, oh when. will the people rise IN
their indignation and hurl from power
all who stand in with the patriots 'or
pelf' by sustaining the present pension
system, which is highway robbery OF the
masses and a disgrace TO the country?

WILLIAM SLAUGHTER ESCAPES.
In Some Way He slipped Ont -
Luuenburg jail

GREEN BAY. VA, July 1s.-(Special)-
William Slaughter, who was recently ar
rested and confined in jail at Lunenburg
Courthouse. charged with the usual
crime" made good his escape Sunday
night. Slaughter was arrested about two
weeks ago and was in jail awaiting the
action of The grand jury.
His escape cannot be accounted for, as
the door was locked and not a bar was
broken. 1t is thought he must have made
his way through several doors TO the
Placement Of the Jail and thence into the
guard-room, where it is possible, he could
have gotten through window. Mr. j.
G. Gary, who has been Jailer there for
a number OF years. was very much sur
prised yesterday morning when he dis
covered his prisoner had gone. Mr.. Gary
is "a very efficient official and regrets the
escape. Only two other prisoners were
at the time inmates Of the jail. one Of
these is a lunatic who Is waiting to be
sent TO an asylum. When the jailer ac-
cOsted him as 20 how Slaughter made
his escape, he simply said: 81 prayed him
