GENERAL FITzHUGH LEE, who de
liyered the address at the Decoration
Day ceremonies over the wreck OF the
Maine at Havana Yesterday, said that
H'there on foreign soil, Che sons OF the
North and of the South were honored
together. Wherever the American
flag is raised, there the principle OF lib
erty and the highest ideal of govern
ment are upheld, and wherever the
Stars and Stripes are waved, there q
nobler civilization is attained" Cen
ersl Lee and General Wheeler are bet
ter reconstructed than any other men
of the South, not in the governments
pay, and are more loyal than many
people in the North.

IT Is Sow seriously proposed that
the Americans enlist the savage tribes
in the Philippine Islands to help them
to "mow down" tbs civilized and
christianized Filipinos who are defend
ing their homes from ruthless invaders.
When the British urged the same thing
during the Revolutionary war in this
country, they were denounced as worse
chan the savages they employed. But
circumstances alter cases, and to none
more than the supporters of the present
administration.

TIE Hague conference has agreed to
several things to which none of it's
members objected ana which have al
ways been practiced by civilized na-

matters relating to the prevention or

agreement, and probably never will;
and even if it should, that such an
agreement would be binding, nobody
believes. There always have been and
always will be wars, and agreements,

SOME of the jingoes and imperialists

country by declining the request OF the

its own highest court in the case of an

belongs to family of plutocrats in the

played by Massachusetts in the history
of the American commonwealth, whose
soldiers lad played conspicuous parts in
ali it's wars, and whose statesmen had
ever been fsmousin the halla ofCopgress.
He alluded to the prophecy of General

CITY of Boston, predicted the day
would come when this anniversary
would be celebrated latter some day

DC more likely to find the eagle than any

oldest of all the eagles had agreed to come
On being promised IL fish dinner, for eagles
are very fond of fish, and, though they
cannot catch fer themselves, they often
rob other birds This eagle would be

eft behind by the rapid frigato bird, who
was in n hurry, and they might as well
begin the sports.
Word was Immediately passed through
all the sea, and the crowds gathered off
shore to see the exhibitions. As this was
a II, 600 ring circus, one contest taking
place at every mile from the north pole to
the south, we can only undertake to tell
about the one where Sea Catch presided.
Before taking their places the sword
fishes put smooth clam shells on the ends
of their swords as buttons, that they
would not hurt one another, and the bat
ties began. They fcintcd, backed, rushed,
puntcd and used all the tactics of expert
fcnccrS. They made tho clear water boil
Ms they lcapcd about in it, and the birds
Tapped their wings in applause, while the
fishes slapped their tails against the water.
Finally the prize was awarded to a 1.-the
Young swordfish that had driven off all
comers for half an hour, and inviting his
friends to the feast, he picked out fat,
black backed whale as his prize.
The next contest was catching the
creased eel, but though it caused more
fun than anything else on the programme
no prize was given. Before it began the
ecls covered themselves with slime and be-
gan to wrigglc. The cuttlefishcs, sharks,
seals and all the creatures started in pur-
suit, but no one managed to catch an eel,
ior they are the trickiest and slippcricst of
all the creatures of the ocean.
BY this time the eagle had arrived, and,
after being properly introduced by Sea
Catch, he uttered Il scream that was heard
and repeated by every living thing in tho
ocean in its own language. His speech
was translated and passed along in the
same way and was heard by every one, no
