Capt. Gridley's Monument.

The memory of Capt Charles E. Grid
ley, who died shortly after the battle
of Manila, in which he commanded the
Olympia. will be fttingly preserved by
the city OF Erie, Pa, in which his ashes
lie. On an eminence along the shore of
Lake Erie, where it can be seen for
miles by land and water, a beautiful
monument is to be erected and sur
rounded by drives. The design for the
monument has been approved by the
Gridley family, and the committee in
charge Of the work. The design shows
shaft which will rise seventy feet from
the ground. 1t will be constructed OF
granite and is to be finished with a ped
estal Of handsome proportions. On the
front will appear the arms of the United
States surmounted by a sheaf Of board
ing pixies, fiages and sabers, all domi-
mated by an eagle in bronze. Directly
below will be bronze medallion of Capt.
Gridley with sword on either side. On
the opposite side of the base from the
coat of arms it is proposed to place a
representation of the Olympia. On an
other side will be presented the scene
of the battle of Manila bay, while an
other suitable design will be on the
fourth side. The famous words of Adj
mirai Dewey to Capt. Gridley, which
have passed into motto, You may fire
when ready, Gridley," are to occupy a
position in connection with the bust Of

The Beers have treated us with much

On the journey here great numbers of
burgherS crowded to see us, but there
was only one who made insulting re-
marks, the others courteously Offering us
cigarettes, or showing such marks of at
tention."
When asked regarding his general i'm
pressions he said he had had many dis
cussiOns with the Beers as to the rights
of the war, and had been much impressed
by the number who could speak English.
He had found that most of them regret
ted the conflict, asserting that it had
arisen as the result of misrepresentation.

spirit of the burghers in the field, despite
their prlvatlOnS, was most determined.

ADAMS ADVOCATES
COLLEGE SPIRIT.
He Says Eastern Colleges Are
Ahead Of Wisconsin in Proper
Enthusiasm.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 20 Special. /
In referring to the great struggle between
the East and West for football suprem-
acy. President Adams took occasion yes
terday to address the students on college
spirit and enthusiasm. He said that the
the recent game at New Haven, Conn.,
with Yale was an object lesson for the
Wisconsin university students in the way
of organizing for public manifestations of
loyalty to he alma mater. He explained
in detail how III the East the students
banded themselves together anywhere
and everywhere. either by classes or by
other divisions, for the purpose of exer-
cising their enthusiasm together. That,
he said. was the Well-known characteris-
tic of the great Eastern colleges, Yale
and Princeton. Every student of these
great schools. no matter where he may
be- makes it known where he was given
his collegiate education. No doubt the
success in life of many of the students
has been attributable to this college spir-
President Adams went on to speak Of
the lack of this enthusiasm among the stu
dents, both past and present, in Wiscon-
sin. He urged that there be more pomp
and ceremony, instead of that extreme
simplicity which charact erizes the pres
ent conditions. and he showed how at
Yale at chapel exercises the students
lined up with becoming soldierly grace
when the president walked down the
aisle He spoke of their more dignifed
bearing and the snap with which they ex-
ecuted their public demonstrations. En-
thusiasm for the alma mater is a moral
merit. 1t should be cultivated by every
one who has ever attended the university
and the good influence of college life
should be spread among those who have
not been so fortunate as to enjoy 1t.

London, Nov. 25.-The various reports
from Belmont add nothing of substantial
value to Gen. Methuen's dispatch Of yes

concurrence of opinion, namely, that q
lack of cavalry prevented an efficient

to have been.

The reports, while confirming the ac-
count of the comparative "reminiscences

Beers continue TO sap and approach the
town by parallels. There is no question
that before long not only their shells but
their rife fire will render the streets
impossible. and even the British forti-
fed positions exceedingly dangerous The
British have already suffered heavily.
and the numbers with which the enemy
is investing the place make it impossible
for Col. Baden-POwell TO do more than

of surrender. The British are prepared

The relics being a matter of such In
tense interest to the Buddhist world,
were offered by the Indian government
to the King of Siam, who is the only
existing Buddhist monarch, with a pro-
Visu that he would not object to offer q
portion of the relics 10 the Buddhists

gested that his majesty should send

with due ceremonial.
No relics Of Buddha authenticated bv

are as rare as they are unique, and by
all Ruddhists will be regarded as most
sacred and holy objects of devotion.

From the London Standard.
The King of Siam is sending an en-
Voy to India TO receive the relics Of
Buddha discovered some time ago on
the Nepaul frontier which were offer
ed to his majesty by the Indian gov
ernment. The king who gratefully ac-
cepted the offer, has agreed to distri-
butte portions of the relics among the
Buddhists of Burma and Ceylon from
Bangkok.
1t will probably be remembered that
i'm January last a well-preserved stupa
was opened at the village of Pipra-
Hwa on the Nepaul frontier i'm the
Basti district Of the northwest prov
inces. This village was in the Birdpur
grant, a large property owned by Will
liam G. Peppe and his brother. Inside
the building was found a large stone
Golfer, crystal and steatite vases, bone
and ash relics, fragments of lime,
plaster and wooden vessels and a large
quantity of jewels and ornaments
placed in two vases in honor of the
relics. A careful list was at once made
of all the articles and Mr.. Peppe gen
erOusly offered to place them at the
disposal of the government.

lies in the fact that The relies i'm honor
of which the stupa was erected appear
