HOLIDAY GOLF HANDICAP.
e. r. L yam Wins Yesterdays Match at
Arsenal Links.

In spite of adverse weather condi-
tons 81 golfers made the rounds of
the arsenal links yesterday in compe-
tition for q handsome silver cup
for a holiday handicap. The best
score of the day was 101, made by
Capt. PIERCE. On wet grounds such
a score showed excellent golf. The
handicap was won by f. II. Ryan, of
Davenport, whom good golf and a
generous handicap gave a lead which
his competitors were unable to over
come. The scores follow:

Apparent Opinion of Those at an Ameri-
can Banquet in London.


Banquet in London.
London. July 5.-More than 400
guests attended the banquet of the
tel Cecil last evening, and a brilliant
galaxy of ladies viewed the function
from the gallery of the banqueting
room. AS display of patriotism and
Anglo-Saxon good fellowship the affair
was not exceIIed even by the famous
banquet given last year Among the
Americans present were Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, who introduced the free
Cuba resolution in the Republican con-
vention at ST. Louis, and Senator Han
ma, and William Mckinley Osborne,
United States consul general in Lon
don, both of whom sustain the closest
personal relations with President Nc
Kinley.
The banGueting room was not only
richly tagged with the American and
British colors, but a huge American
eagle was perched upon a pedestal i'm
mediately behind the chairman. After
the toast to the Queen Rev. Henry Mon
tagu Butler, master of Trinity college,
proposed the health of President Nc
Kinley, and referred to him eloquently
as "a president who rules in an I'M
equaled atmosphere of love and person
al esteem.
Newton Crane toasted the United
States ambassador. Choate responded
in the most dignified and statesmanlike
address he has yet delivered in Eng
land. Senator Lodge responded with
most patriotic expression of the deter
mination of the American people to
carry on and carry out the war in the
Philippines, mot selfishly, but for the
civilization of that people,
Mark Twain also responded to the,
same sentiment, keeping the company
most of the time in peals of laughter.
but closing with this pathetic reference
to the alliance: Wherever one soldier
finds himself beneath the shelter of the
others flag he knows he is not an alien,
but a kinsman of the blood, and at

responsible for the sensation of the
day. I'VE Democrats will so to the
next convention" he said, 'advocat-
ing. as before, the unlimited coinage
of free silver and gold at the ratio of
16 to l." There was loud cheering at
this. Hogg said that Democrats in 1900
would denounce trusts, favor the in
come tax, the granting of Cuban in
dependence and the construction and
maintenance of the Nicaraguan canal,
and denounce imperialism and govern
ment by injunction. with these prin-
ciples, we will go into battle conf

AS Ex-Governor Hogg uttered the
name of Bryan, the cheering was deaf

Intimates That the Late War Has Opened
Their Eyes Over There.
Paris, July Sat the annual ban
quet of the American chamber of COM
merce, at the Grand hotel yesterday,
the minister of commerce, NJ. Miller
and, delivered warmly friendly ad-
dress and closed as follows: Gentle
men, lift my glass to the American
republic and to the president" The
feature of the occasion, however, was
the speech of General Benjamin Har-
rison, of Indiana. Among the notable
sentiments uttered are these:
I'VE have other friends, but none
whose friendship involves enmity for
France. We are pleased when she is
prosperous and grieved when she is
troubled. In the affairs of nations be-
yond seas no question OF the balance
of power has ever disturbed us. Our
neighbors could not contest our su-
premacy but we will never use our
power to their disadvantage.
1--WE have incurred responsibilities
there lin Cuba1 and in the Philippines,
and we shall not fail to discharge them
st any cost. 1t is too late to debate
the question whether it were wiser to
garry out in the Philippines a purely
naval campaign, or the question
whether destiny or our own choice in
volved us there.
I'VE are very proud of the magnifi-
cent achievements of our navy and
army, and are glad if European mis-
apprehension as to our naval con-
struction and seamanship is removed
We are glad if truer appreciation of
the vast war resources of the United
States prevails, glad only because it
gives security in the hemisphere in
which we are placed, not because it is
threat to Europe.
1.-The United States is now more than
ever in sympathy with every practical
suggestion tending to diminish the in
f,uence of arms in the determination
of international questions. Arbitra-
ton halted because of the difficulty of
finding a purely judicial tribunal that
would consider international questions
with the same indifference an9 the
same impartiality that charact sriZe
courts in the trials of individuals.
When such a tribunal is attained dis
armament will be near. America will
hail that day" prolonged applause.1

Snake Eat Snake.

A sight was witnessed one day at
the Zoo that has been the talk of the
people managing the animals of the
garden ever since. Keeper Myers, who
has charge of the snake cages, was
about to feed the reptiles, when, to his
horror, he saw one blacksnake meas
uring six feet devouring its mate,
which was about the same length and
size of itself. The reptile had swal-
lowed its fellow head first, and only n
foot and half still remained outside
its mouth. 1t was lying quietly, and
about once every so seconds 4 swal-
lowing motion would seize il, when as
much as two inches of its meal would
disappear. Myers opened the cage
and, grabbing the powerless snake by
the tail, began Juggling away to release
it. This proved to be no easy task, as
the cannibalistically inclined monster
had n firm hold on its breakfast. Aft
er several minutes of pulling that
brought the perspiration out on the
keeper the snake was set at liberty.
For n time it seemed paralyZed, but
gradually regained its strength.-Cin-

Snakes Charm and XIII n Horse.

Abram Robson near Grantsburg,
Ind, while hunting a stray horse
which had been missing for two days
noticed n large black snake, which re-
treated toward n cave formed by an
overhanging ledge of rocks in one of
the high bluffs surrounding his pasture
field. His horse was found lying in
this cavern, but covered by what look
ed to him like mountain of snakes, so
numerous were the reptiles. Robson
fled to his house and secured his shot
gun, with which he returned and OPEN
ed fire until his cartridges were ex-
hausted. After the battle he counted
the bodies of Alb snakes lying around
and over the body of his horse, which
was dead, while many reptiles escaped
in a wounded condition. He believes
that his horse. which was a magnifi-
cent animal, weighing 1000 or more
pounds, had been charmed by the rep
tiles so that he was powerless to es-
cape.
