A FAIR DEMONSTRATION.

One Else.

Mark Twain and his friend, Rev. Joseph
H. Twitchel, once planned a bicycle ride
from Hartford, Conn. their home), to
Boston, and wrote beforehand to an &C
quaintance in the latter city, telling him
their line of route and what time he might
expect to see them arrive. The appointed
time was an ideal one for long run, and
the two friends started quite earl y in the
morning. But neither of them was accus
toned to long rides, so after II or Is miles
had been ridden, it became apparent that
each of the riders was waiting for the 9th.
er to say something Finally Twain said, as
they came in sight of the railway station in a
small town they had entered: Lets take
the train the rest of the way.
OF course Mr. Twitchell agreed, and sc
the acquaintance in Boston was surprised
by seeing the two friends walk up to his
door about one o'clock in the afternoon. He
had not expected them till evening, but he
greeted them warmly, and addressing Mr.
Twitchell, said: 'Well, you made pretty
good time, didn't you?"
ooh, fairly good time for novices," was
the reply.
"What time did you leave Hartford?" he
asked of Mr.. Clemens.
about seven a. m.
"What, you don't mean to say that you
have ridden all the way from Hartford to
Boston on your bicycles"

far enough to demonstrate that it could be
done Detroit Free Press.

THE RELIEF OF DERRY.
The Protestant Celebration of the Ami

Gus Scenes Sunday.

LONDONDERRY, Aug. 1.-the Pro
testant celebration of the anniversary
of the relief of Derry, besieged by
James Ills army in 1859, led to riotous
scenes here Sunday. An excursion
party, composed of 400 members of
'9S club, arrived from Belfast,
but the police refused to allow
the excursionists to enter the
city. The appearance of nationalist
band to meet the party caused
disorders and stone throwing. Both
mobs attacked the police. Finally the
riot act was read and the mayor OF
Londonderry called out the garrison.
Eight constables were seriously in
jured.
The rioting was renewed Sunday
evening on the departure of the ex-
cursionists in the vicinity of the rail-
way station. The police made repeat
ed baton charges and several persons
were injured.

ANOTHER FIGHT.
San MateO T AIKEN, With an American
Loss of Three Killed.
The Filipinos Were Routed After Forty
Minutes Fighting-Twenty-T Three of
the Enemy Are Known to Have
Been kiIled-Colored Troops.

MANILA, Aug. IA reconnaissance
Saturday by troops of Gen. Samuel B.
NJ. Young's brigade with the object of
discovering the whereabouts of the
enemy near san Mateo. northeast Of
the San Juan reservoir, about ten
miles from Manila, resulted in the oc-
cupation of San Mateo.
The American loss was three killed
and 13 wounded, including lieuten-
ant of the 21st infantry.
The Americans approached San
Mateo in three columns. Maj. Cronin,
with Is men of the 25th infantry, adj
vanced from Novaliches, five miles
west of San Mateo. Capt. Rivers, with
100 men of the 4th cavalry, and Capt.
Parker, formerly lieutenant colonel of
the 18th New York Volunteer regi-
ment, with $50 men of the 21st and gath
infantry and the 4th cavalry, ap-
preached in two columns from the
south.
Maj Cronin experienced many diff
culties arising from the condition of
the country and failed to effect a
junction with Capt. Rivers west of
San Mateo, as had been planned.
Capt. Rivers advancing, took an out
post of the enemy two miles south
west of the San Mateo. He then en-
countered strong resistance among the
hills, the enemy firing from excellent
positions. Having failed to connect
with Maj. Cronin, and seeing that the
town was already occupied by the
Americans Capt. Rivers withdrew, COW
vering his withdrawal by heavy vol
ley. He lost sergeant killed.
Capt. Parker, on advancing, found
the enemy strongly entrenched on the
far side of some rice fields, about a
mile wide and covered with deep mud.
Pushing forward rapidly, he routed
the Filipinos after 40 minutes fight
ing, and then continued the march
upon San Mateo, which he entered
without serious resistance about half
past one in the afternoon.
Maj Cronin entered the town about
half-past four. The Americans still
occupy the place. Our meu were ex-
hausted by the heavy marching.
Twenty-three of the enemy are
known to have been killed.
This is the first action in which Col.
Burt's colored troops participated.
They behaved we'll, their leaders hav-
ing difficulty in holding them back.
Gen. Young accompanied Capt. Park
er's column and was under fire through
out the engagement. 1t is estimated
that the enemy numbered between 800
and 400 men.
The insurgents have taken the ag-
gressive in the neigh borhood of the
successfully attacked San Luis, on the
Rio Grande, near Calumpit, which is
| garrisoned by two companies of the
| 22d infantry. The Americans had one
man, a sergeant, killed and two pri-
Yates wounded.
Sunday morning a similar affair
took place at Gringua, four miles west
of Malolos where another small gar
rison is stationed as a safeguard
against a possible attack upon the
railway. A special train took rein
forcements to Malolos and Guiguinto,
| lust north of Bulacan.

Arthur is now a seaport. The mag

Sunday and steamed through at a

made that the canal would never be
finished, that it was not practicable
and was only town site. There is
much rejoicing at the completion of
the work.
