BEECH HEDGE.
Remarkable and Picturesque
Growth in Perthshire, Scotland.

Remarkable and Pfcturesquc
Growth I'm Perthshire, Scotland
The tourist In Scotland, as his brothers
elsewhere, with his hurry anr scurry
forever in haste to see everything in q
few days. too often passes by the small
er objects of interest and thus really ac-
complishes little of his vast undertaking,
says the New York Tribune
The beech hedge is one of these too
often neglected wonders of nature. Not
that it is a smaller object of interest
by any means, for it stands over 100 feet
feet high. The beech hedge is the prop
erty of the Marquis of Lansdowne, at
Meillour, Perthshire. and was planted in
or about the year 1745 by party of High
landers encamped there for a few days
while on their way to join the pretender,
Prince Charlie. This mammoth hedge,
which indeed deserves the name of being
one OF the modern wonders of the world
is a fitting monument to commemorate
the pretender's defeat at Culloden, "ths
last battle ever fought on English SOIL"

signments the past week consisted of
horses with quality and weight above the

tivity, which forced great many sales to
clear barely country cost which has the

Western horses were placed on the mar

SUMMIT OF MONT BLANC.
The Ownership Thereof Ia Being Con. tested by Three Swiss Muni-
 cipalities.

Mont Blanc is just now the centerot. discussion which is being variousL, treated with seriousness and humor h. the European press. The question 1. this: Who is the owner of the ton x Mont Blanc? No single O. isolated in. dividual of eccentric propensiiies ha, made claim to the summit. Tke afTai, is much more complicated. Three mn. nicipalities, Chamounix, Les Houcbe. and St. Gervais, have claimed tie sum. nit, and have appealed to the Swiss gov. ernment to answer the question. It. not a point of honor. or the prestice oi having a monopoly of avalanches, but, nere matter of business. For he las, five years Mont Blanc has been in ey4.. increasing favor with tourists, and rari. ous spots situated nj different altitudes have been let out by one or another Of the three municipalities in question tO enterprising projectors. Recently t was found tknt Chamounx had let nlors mountain land than the other two towns, and hot dispute arcse as to her right 10 do so. The great map of 173 offers no reliefto the contesting parties because this chart only gives the d. vision of properties on the lower O., wocdy portions of the mountain. The Geneva press, referring to the dispu.e ir. a humorous way, says that t is the first time in history that municipality has adopted national scheme of claim, ing "a sphere of influecne." But seFi GUS persons consider that the problem is really q knotty one.

READY TO GIVE UP.
Over 5000 Rebels at Manila Would
 Surrender to Americans.
EHipino sharpshooters Continue to Annoy Onr Soldiers, Who wIH Reserve Their Fire-Bitter Anti- merican De-
 cree-Terrible Loss by Fire.


 Manila, Feb. 2s. Two Spanish com missioners, Senors Rosatio and Abo- gado, who were permitted to pass through our lines and confer with Aguinaldo with reference to the Span- ish prisoners at Malalos, returned through our lines yesterday morning, near Caloocan, with a sealed dispatch for the Spaniards. The commissioners said that Aguinaldo and Sandiko were both at Malalos and inclined to pacific overtures. While the Filipinos are not yet prepared to surrender the Spanish prisoners, they will gladly re- lease two Americans who have been held for six weeks on the payment of $50. the value of food and clothing furnished to them.
 Shortly afterward the rebels sent ont a flag of truce borne by Command ante Sinforoso de la Crus, and several hundred of the enemy left the Fili- pino lines crying: No quire;' Mas combate;' "Americanos mucho buno" The commandante said that fully 5000 of his men had had enough and were anxious to surrender
 The enemy's sharpshooters at Caloo- can continue to annoy the soldiers in the daytime, but the Americans no longer pay much attention to them, reserving their fire until the re bels appear in the open in sufficient force to justify volley or an occasional shell.
 Another Viruient Decree from the Junta.
 Hong Kong, Feb. 2S.-.The Filipino government has issued another viru- lent anti-American decree, in which the following passages occur:
 The American guns respect neither honor nor property. but barbarously massacre women and children Manila has witnessed the most horrible outrages confscating the properties and savings of the people at the point of the bayonet and shooting the defenseless. ac- companied by odious acts of abomination rcpugnant barbarism and racial hatred worse than the doings in Carolina. Unless you eonjure holy war for Independence you are only worthy to be slaves and pariahs. Proclaim before the civilized world that you will fight to the death against American treachery and brute force Even the woman should if nec- essary. American professions and promises are pure hypocrisy. They covet the spoils of this patrimony of our race wishing to implant here more irritating and barbarous dominion than in the past

EXPENSIVE SPARKS.
Fireworks That Cost Over q Million Dollars s0rictiFues Burned in
 European Pageants.

Our own fireworks manufacturen are, of course, prepared 10 produce as brilliant displays as any in the world, but unfortunately they do not have the opportunities afforded by royal pa- geants in monarchical countries.
 According to one British firm, who are famed all over the world for their manufacture of fireworks. the amount spent cn ,he display of fireworks iR connection with her majesty's jubilee was $1,250.000. The display at the close of the Crimean war cost $500.OO0. The largest individual exhibitions by the firm were given on the Tagus for the Portuguese government; the second in 1888 costing S50,0O0, while the first which was made on the occasion of the marriage in 1886 of the king (theB crown prince) of Portugal, cost half that amount. The display at Delhi when the queen was proclaimed em- press of India cost 17.500. Some of the most costly fireworks are those produced at the Crystal palace. Thus at a benefit recently, the exhibition lasted from 30 to 35 minutes, but it cast $7,500, or abut $250 per minute.

Admiral Dewey is said to be the only prominent figure of the war who has refused to write of his victory in pe- riodicals or books Having done full justice to the subject in May last year with his ships and guns, he now states that he "could never do it justice with his pen" Two New York publishing houses have offered hlm fabulous sum for a personal narrative of his Philippines experience, but Dewey is apparently content with what the cor respondents relate. = Kansas City Journal.
