A FAIR DEMONSTRATION.
They Were Satisfied the Thing Could
Be Done, But by Some
One Else.

Mark Twain and his friend, Rev. Joseph
H. Twitchell, 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 early 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
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~
''Oh, fairly good time for novices, was
the reply.
"'What time did you leave Hartford?' he
asked of Mr.. Clemens.
about seven d. M
'What, you don't mean to say that you
have ridden all the way from Hartford to
Boston on your bicycles!"
"No," replied Mark Twain, 'but we rode
far enough to demonstrate that 1t could be
done. Detroit Free Press.

WARRANTS ISSUED.
M. GOdefrey, President of the Committee

PARIS, Aug. 14.-Demon strations oc-
Cured Sunday evening outside the of

Jules Guerin, president of the league
and Max Refs, the former Jew batting
mayor of Algiers, against whom Or
ders of arrest were issued Saturday on
a charge of conspiring to bring about
a change of government, are still be-
sieged by the police.
Fifty anti-Semites took up position
in a restaurant opposite and M. Guerin

Finally the police closed the thorough

coming serious.

ed, and dispatch from Saint Lo, cap

let and high official of the League of
Patriots, was incorrect. He is still at
large. Out of 81 warrants issued, some

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
a '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.

MAITRE LABoRL.
Capt Dreyfus' Counsel Ambu.hed by Two
Men and ShOt-His Recovery
is Doubtful.

RENNEs, Aug. 1.-Two men am
bushed Maitre Labori, counsel for
Dreyfus, and one shot was fred, hit
ting Labori in the back. NJ. Labori
fell in the roadway. He is still alive.
Maitre Labori left his house alone
for the court at about 6 o'clock Mon
day morning. His residence is situat-
ed in the suburbs of the town about
quarter of an hours walk from the
Lycee, the route being along a solitary
road beside the river Vilaine.
He had reached point half way on
his journey when two men, who had
evidently been lying in wait for him,
rushed out of a narrow lane and one
of them fired single shot from a re-
volver. The murdererS were only a
couple of yards behind their victim
and the bullet struck Maitre Labor
in the back. The wounded man ut
tered an agonlzed cry and fell on his
face. The murderers immediately fed
through the lane from which they had
emerged and both escaped.
At 7:3O o'clock it was announced that
the bullet had entered the stomach;
that there was no outward bleeding
and that the physicians believe that M.
Labori will die from the wound.
A later story has it that NJ. Labor
was shot in the temple by a man
who fired revolver at him outside the
court and that the miscreant was ar
rested.
Only two or three laborers going to
work witnessed the shooting of Maitre
Labori. The spot was well chosen, as
the murderers could not be seen by
NJ. Labori until they rushed out upon
their victim, the entrance to the lane
being hidden by bushes. More
over they were afforded an easy means
of escape by passing back through the
lane, which led to the country.

ANOTHER FIGHT.

Loss of Three Killed.
The FiIipinos Were Routed After Forty
Minutes ighting-Twenty-T Three of

Been kiIled-Colored Troops.

MANILA, Aug. IA reconnaissance
Saturday by troops of Gen. Samuel B.
M. 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 a lieuten-
ant of the 21st infantry.
The Americans approached San
Mateo in three columns. Maj. Cronin,
with 10 men of the 25th infantry, ad-
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
|
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.
Mai Cronin entered the town about
haIf-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 neighbOrhood of the

: successfully attacked San Luis, on tn,
Rio Grande, near Calumpit, which i
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 affai
took place at Gringua, four miles ives
of Malolos where another small gar
, rison is stationed as a Safeguard
against a possible attack upon tn
railway. A special train took rein
forcements to Malolos and Guiguinto
