This bridge, comparatively little known

the Yellow sea, and measures not less
than eight miles and a half.
The Bridge of Lions, as it is called. is

bridge is II marble statue of hon. three

The Monitor as a Fighter.

Monitors, in large degree. are
vessels in which engineers may
take special interest, and | am n
great believer in their efficacy if
properly used. In the Spanish
American war, their record is aon-
sidered to have been poor one,
but this, in my judgment, was be-
cause they were diverted to uses
for which they were never intend
ed. They are purposely designed
for operating near the coast, and
have neither the speed or the coal
supply to enable them to omake long
cruises. A gallant captain of the
United States navy stated that, if
given the command of the Mon
terey, he would be ready to fight

man of ths grand jury that failed to in
dict Molineux, handed down an affidavit
today in answer to charges preferred by
District Attorney Osborn a few day S
ago. Mr.. Osborn in his charges, said
that the grand jury asked questions of
witnesses which tended to exonerats the
accused instead Of convicting the guilty
person, The substance of Col. Church e
answer is complete denial of Mr.. Os-
b0rn's charges.
Col. Church says that neither he nor
any other u ember of the grand jury had
any feeling or bias in the trial and that
his aequaintace with Gen. Molineux,
the father of the accused man, was con-
fined entirely to military matters, Col.
Church being editor Of the Army and
Navy Journal The grand Jury, he says,
gave careful and exhaustive Consideration
TO the case and not a member was con-
vinced that the address on the poison
package was written by Molineux.
