PIGEONS OF LONDON.

Of all the common sights of London none is more interesting than it's pi- geons, which bring a suggestion Of old-world stateliness into the turmoil of the city. There is a particular flock for most all the big buildings of Lon don. and they are to be found all over the city. A curious fact observed is that the birds on the east side of a huge building have nothing to do with those on the west side, while the bird residents of the north and south sides keep quite as much to themselves.
 The birds live a glorious life, for everybody pets them. The judges of the law courts feed the pigeons. not scraps, but gram and such things as birds like. Dozens of clerks in the law. yers' offices scatter food for the birds daily in Kings Bench walk, while the keeper of coffee house religiously brings bits of broken bread for his featnered friends.
 One of the prettiest sights is to see the pigeons which live on the British museum. There are half a dozen read CTS who make a practice of feeding the birds and the pigeons will abandon strangers who come with full hands for their old friends. even when they appear without food The cabmen are great friends of the pigeons, which seem to realize these men are good friends to cultivate, for rarely is there one who will not scatter a handful of grain from the horses nosebags.

Discussing the consequences that mig ht
follow the withdrawal of the United
States troops from the Philippines the
New York Herald says;
In all discussions concerning the Philip-
pines which have been heard there is one
consideration which has received little or
no attention, but which has vital bear
< ing that neither President Mckinley nor
the American people can afford to over.
look or underestimate. This is the fate
of the religious establishments in the
archipelago.
n What that fate would be If the admins
tration should unfortunately yield to SEN
timental anti-expansion pleas for Phi lip
pine indep7 ndenoe or to seditious dema-
gogie demands for an abandonment ofthe
struggle for American supremacy can
easily be Imagined. The bitter, relentless
hostility of the insurgents TO the existing
ecclesiastio orders and priesthood is a
M stter OF common notoriety.
Giye ARuniuinaldo and his misguided
followers full swing, either by granting
them Independence or by abandoning the
nfiiot, and their first move would be the
inauguration of religious war Of oonfis-
sation and extinction waged with all the
vengeance and ruthless barbarity of their
race MonRsseries, monks, church prop
erty and possessions would become de-
fenceless objects of a savage warfare thar
would make humanity shudder with hor-
ror.
The testimony of those best informed
as to the situation has been that these
same religious orders which, accord
ing to the Herald, it is our mis-
sion to protect have been the very worst
azents of persecution in these islands

No doubt religious fanatics of the kind
that have been preaching in Levant often
times do mischief in a community by
getting hold of weak Or excitable peo-
pie and prevailing upon. them to do
things which they ought not to do. But
the way to dispose OF them is not the
Leyant way. 10 undertake to stamp out
one kind of fanAtioism by exciting an
other and worse kind, is calculated to
make matters worse and not better. II
the Leyant proselyte was preaching i'm.
moral doctrines it was perfectly easy to
suppress him by lawful methods If he
was preaching only folly, as appears most
likely, an appeal to reason was the way
to combat him. In neither case was a
resort TO mob law justifiable or defensiN

GOMEZ FAREWELL.
The Veteran Insurgent Leader Gives
cubans some Good Advice.

Havana. June 6.--General Iomez, ths
former oommander-in-chief Of the Cuban
army, will issue his farewell manifesto
today. In substance it will say; The
commission have been entrusted with IL
nearly concluded. have attempted to
find solution Of questions concerning
the army which commanded during the
bloodiest war known In America. / am

the most terrible moment of our contest
and resulted in SPANS defeat but none
OF us thought this extraordinary even
would be followed by military ocoupa-
ton Of the country by our allies, who
treat us as people incapable OF acting
for ourselves and who have reduced us to
obedience, to submission and to a gutiIaae
imposed by force OF circumstances. This
cannot be our ultimate fate after the
years of struggle and we should aid by
every pacific method In finishing the
work of organization, which the Ameri-
cans accepted in the protocol and which
is as disagreeable for them as for our
selves. This aid will prove useless with
out concord among all the islanders.
Therefore 1t is necessary to forget past
disagreements. and to completely unite
all elements and to organize a political
party which Is needed In any country.
We must make useless by our behavior

island and must assist the Americans to

Perhaps to Col Piquart more than to
any one man Drefyus owes the uadoing
of the terrible wrong done him by the
wretched oonspirators of the French staff
Piquart succeeded Gen. Sanherr as Chic +
OF the Secret Intelligence Department.
While holding that position he came into
possession of evidence showing that Es-
terhazy was the guilty person and &C
quainted the chief of staff with the facts.
But the tide was setting too strongly
against Drefyus then and the conspirators
had too strong grip for Piquart. On
account of his belief in Dreyfus's inno-
cence he was dismissed from the Secret
Intelligence Department, and succeeded
by Henry who was one of the worst of
the conspirators. Then an attempt was
made by forged letter to implioate him
in an alleged plot of the Jews in which
Esterhazy was TO be substituted for Drey :
fus as the author OF the bordereau. Subss-
quently he was arrested charged with be-
traying documents in his office and expelled
from the French army. He never wavered,
however, but continued to pursue the
coAspirators. In last September he laid
all his Information before the minister
of justice and out of it grew the decision
of the cabinet to lay the case before the
Court CT Cessation. He fought the French
staff almost single handed Tor a long time.
Latterly he got powerful help, but TO him
more than to any one man belongs the
credit of unearthing the conspiracy and
liherating an innocent man.

As far as can be made out the chief pur
pose Of the demonstration on ths Paris
race track was to express royal1st hatred
of republican form of government.
The acquittal of Deroulede who was 40.
cused of melting the army to revolt
probably encouraged the crowd that en-
gagged in the demonstration. For any
other purpose than to give vent to Royal
list feelings the demonstration was ON ex-
ceedingly stupid one. A few hundred
rioters could hardly expect to put the gov
eminent in serious jeopardy. Even the
killing of Loubet would not have done
that, for the republic easily survived the
assassination Of Faure. But the French
people behave like no other people on
earth, and say and do things which judged
by ordinary standards appear to be the
words and deeds of irrational beings 1t

jackson was the commander Of the expe.
dition.
Assisted by small but carefully select
ed staff Of scientific observers, Mr.. Jack

the land, and fully demonstrated by long
and arduous labor that Franz-Josef Land
is group of small islands, and Of prao-
tlcally no value as way to the Pole.
This being the case, MIR. jackson gave
up hope of reaching high latitude and
devoted his efforts TO ascertaining the
geographical limits of the land, mapping
it thoroughly, and Emsking a scientific
examination Of its fauna and fora.

Siberia and Central Asia. BY John w.
Bookwalter. Printed at Springfield, Ohio
MIR. Bookwalter's work is record of
his experience and observation in Siberia
and Central Asia in 1898. 1t consists
largely Il letters written during his trav-
els but expanded subsequently. His
special object IL visiting Russia was to
investigate for himself the relation of
Russia to the Eastern question, and con-
siderable space is de voted to that subject,
but still more to descriptions Of the places
AID peoples he visited. His description of
the great Trans-Siberian Railway, of its
commercial and political Importance and
of travel over IL is full of interest. In
travelling in Siberia he was impressed by
the vast extent and resources of the coun-
try. He had formed the idea that 1t was
in the main a mountainous, broken, bar
rem and even sterile country, covered
with forests. He found it very different.
MIR. Bookwalter's story is attraotiyely
told, and the numerous illustrations add
greatly to the attractiveness of the book
