MAKING A TEST OF KHAKI
Complaint That 1t Offers the wearer as
Target.

Washington, Nov. Embarrassing
tests are being made at the cavalry
post at Fort Myer to determine the
relative protection of khaki color and
the blue shirts formerly worn by sol
diers. Complaints have been made to
the war department that the khaki
uniform, on account of its color, offers
better target to the enemy than the
old blue uniform of the army.
The tests include observations of gar
ments of different colors at various
distances to determine the relative CON
spicuousness under different condi-
tions of time and weather.

More Bodies In tn. Ruins.

Poplar Bluff, Mo, Nov. IA partial
search of the ruins of the burned Gift
ford house was made yesterday, but
molly one unidentified body was recov-
cred. The debris is still burning and
the intense heat has retarded the work
of the searchers. 1t is now considered
certain that five more bodies lie buried
beneath the ruins. for the nauseating
odor of charred flesh comes from five
different spots.

 Lost Heavily
CAUSED BY AN EXPLOSION

Blocton, May 24.-(Special)-At o'clock this morning the Louisville and Nashville depot was completely destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $1O,000 One end of the building was occupied by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company as warehouse, and the loss to that company will amount to S10,000

 MT. Griffin passed by the building this morning about ? o'clock on his way for doctor and on his return, which was about thirty minutes later, he discovered the fire. Fourteen cases of dynamite were stored in the department occupied by the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany, and a few minutes after o'clock terrible explosion occurred, which awoke and terrified hundreds of the inhabitants.
 The force of the explosion was something awful. Pieces of iron pitchforks and shovels were thrown several hundred yards from the scene. big hole was blown in the ground four or five feet deep, while the trees in the vicinity are covered with mining paper, which was stored near the dynamite. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company is fully insured.

LOVING CUP PRESENTED
Presented to Sir Thomas Lipton by Ann
 Bassador Choate

London, May 24.-At a banquet given this evening at the Hotel Cecil in London to Sir Thomas Lipton, Joseph H. Choate, United States ambassador presented to Sir Thomas the loving cup subscribed for by the American admirers of the owner of the Shamrock.
 The company included John N. Beach, Edwin P. Benjamin, John D. Crimmins' Justice Morgan and J. O'Brien of the New York supreme court, members of the loving cup committee; John A. Mccall, Samuel w. Fairchild, Warner Miller, E. M. Voorhees,, governor of New Jersey; William Mckinley Osborne, United States consul-generai in London the Earl of Clanwilliam, the lord mayor of Belfast and many others.
 After paying a glowing tribute to Sir Thomas Liptons sportsmanship MT. Choate said:
 This gift, Sir Thomas, carries with it the good will of thousands of Americans who love a gallant champion and gallant loser-happily united, sir, in you, who have so nobly borne defeat. We hope ycu are ready to meet us again.
 Sir Thomas Lipton, who was evidently much affected, said in the course of his re- ply:
 The recollection of American kindness will remain with me while memory lasts. I know that to lift their cup have got to take to Sandy Hook the best and fastest yacht the world has ever seen; but it is not without hope that this is within the range of possibilities.
 T am well aware that, to produce such yacht the best British brains and mechanism must be obtained. I think I can procure 1t. I certainly intend to try again, and I feel sure that if I should have the good fortune to succeed the same kind ness and courtesy will be shown to Ameri- cans by Britishers that the Americans are showing me when the Americans come over and attempt to regain the cup
 MT. Beach, chairman of the loving cup committee, who presided at the banquet, when welcoming Sir Thomas, mentioned President Mckinley, whose name was re- ceived with loud cheering.

THE PASSION PLAY
An Enormous Crowd Greeted the hi
 tial Performance

Oberammergau, May A-The initial per
 formance of the passion play. following
 the grand rehearsal of Sunday, took place
 today. The attendance was enormous, de-
 spite the fact that the day was cloudy and
 generally unfavorable. The representation
 as a whole, according to the opinion of
 competent judges, surpasses that of 1890.
 Herr Joseph Mayer, who recited the pro-
 logue, was, as on previous occasions,
 majestic figure. Herr Anton Long, as
 Christ was excellent, although somewhat
 nervous. His voice is clear and his face
 seems to fit the character, although not so refined as the face of Mayer, who was so long the Christ of these representations. Long, however, showed improvement as today's performance progressed, his gest- ures being particularly graceful. During the Bethany scene weird effect pro- duced by the sun breaking suddenly from the clouds and casting brilliant beam on Christ's robe.
 Fraulien Anna Fluner, the Mary of the
 representation, has a fine, well rounded
 face and is a good actress, but she lacks the pathos that Rosa Lang was wont to display.
 The player now takl1S the part oi JuudS Johann Zwink- is very fine, vast inn provement upon his predecessor in the role. On the other hand, Thomas Rendt, the Peter of the cast, scarcely equals Hetts' portrayal. Fraulein Bertha Wolff as Mary Magdelene, is striking in appear ance and makes a profound impression. | Sebastian Lang, as Caiaphas, realized the | the ideal impersonation of that relentless priest. Fraulen Mathilde Rutz, the so- prano, was greatly admired, and young | Boold shows decided promise.
 During the afternoon performance Herr | Anton Long repeatedly overcome with | nervousness, but he went through his cru | cifixion scene with perfect self-possession | and the memorable seven words of the | Saviour could be distinctly heard by the ! vast concourse.

MORGAN WILL FIGHT
Will Make War on Senators Who Op-

Washington, May A-(Special)-S Morgan is as aggressive as ever in behalf of the Nicaraguan canal bill and now pro poses to make war on the senators who went back on him in the canal fight. The senator is a splendid fighter, and before he is finished, even if he will probably be un- able to pass the bill this session, he will have given the opponents of the measure a very good run for their money. Meantime the Philippine bill is being used as buff fer, and whenever the Nicaraguan bill has a chance of being considered, the Philippine bill is brought out as the unfinished busi- ness of the senate and held there until an appropriation bill is ready to be taken up.
