A CITY OF THE PAST.
The Remains ofa Dead Metropolis in
Central Asia.

OF all the impressive sights have sse n
In Central Asia this dead city of Ne y
is the most impressive, says the Chicago
Record. Here lie the remains Of Q me
tropoiis Of million people famed through
the ages for wealth, learning and power,
with not human being in all the space
d yelling where onos the multitude lived.
Almost as far as the eye can reach the
walls extend, enoircling the ruins, with
gates on all four sides Of the oil ty. With
In these walls tte space inclu led measures
many square miles. The scene is one OF
absolute do solstion. Most OF the area Is
ooy ere q with rubbish no better deiiue ed
than ill-shApsd piles Of orumb bling brick,
heapsd In mounds where the buildings
fell, some large, some small. On the
larger ones fragments Of highly colcred
and glazed tile declare that ornamentsd
structures OF some sort once stood there.
In scme instaness 1t is possible to trac
the direction of the strt cts by the positic n
Of successive piles OF rubbish on eisi er
side.
Letting the sight sweep over the great
expanse of undulsting hillocks Of broken
masonry 1t Is arrested at intervals by the
few wsll-prsserved ruins that remain.
Thess stand like monuments to the dead
city, or sentinsls on guard over the
million tombs. Some OF these piles are
themselves great tombs, others mosques
or palaces. 1t Is study for the philosc-
pher. The few that are identified with
the nam es Of their builders or their 90
cupants ar, either the ruined palaces Of
the potsntates OF the realm, or the
mosques made famous by Moslem proph-
cts who were equally powerful. No
memory Is preserved OF the name or the
work OF one of all the millions who lived
here as simple citizsns, although 1t was
they who created the wealth, the COM
merce, the fame OF the city. Here is the
palace where each one who chooses may
do his own moralizing.
OF all the ruins the most notable is
the tomb Of the Sultan Sandjar. Its
salient feature is great dome rising
above orumbling walls and pillars, the
minarets gone the hriok walls nearly
bare to the glazed tiles that once covered
them. SorAmbling over the heaps OF
broken masonry on the ground, We male
our way through tha great aroh that
gives entrance to the tomb from one side.
Under the dome stands the granite slab
which marks the grave. like that under
the done of the tomb Of Tamerlane in
Samarkand. This Que antsdates the
other, however, by several centuries, for
| thu tomb of the Sultan SAndjAr Il dated
some 800 years ago. All thia added
granite Is left to absolute desolation. The
only sign that anyone had been there
before us was group OF bricks arranged
In pairs, standing on end and tilted to-
Rether like q letter A, the mark OF defer
enoe from the Turokmans who still take
pride In the narus Of Sandjar and come
to worship at his tomb.

A PROFESSIONAL TEAM.

New York, March 16.-The Herald to-

The humiiiating confession Is now mads

directors and W. L. Mitchell the manager
Of the eleven has teen the Ecspe goat.
The graduate advisory committee after

Rumors involving the financial honesty
and truthfulness Of the manager, lead to
an Investigation OF his accounts BY a
public accountant.
The report shows that the manager has
not used money belonging TO the team for
his own purposes, but that he had doc

payments made to various membsrs OF
the football team for tuition or for board.
1t also appears, py admission of the

that 1t was bettsr to form one at all

nila. He gave General Corbin q brief de-
scription of the conditions In Luzon whsn
he left. He insisted that the war was
over, and that nothing more was to be
done except TO run down few guerillas
and irreRulars. There was difficulty In
this work he said, and danger too. but Its
prosecution was not "war." Ambuscades
were frequent and annoying and IL was
not easy TO tall whether the hidden Toe
was strong or weak. Three men had been
mistaken for . company In some cases.
The General said that the Americas
troops were doing splendid work there.
They were sound AMI healthy and In
quite as good shape as they would be OF
home, engaged In similar service. This
was owing In measure TO the excellent
care for their men exhibited by officers
and to the watohful precautions OF the
staff Of the army. General Wheeler said
that as soon as his resignation had been
accepted By the President, he Intended TO
make the issus as 90 his right to seat In
the House OF Representatives from Ala
bama. He said the Issue would not be
one for the decision of Speaker Hsndsr-
son. He would present himself at the
bar OF the HOUSE and ask to be sworn In.
As he understood the rules, the Speaker
would have no option, bnt must submit
the matter to the House. General Wheeler
was confident that the decision would be
In his favor though he realized that there
might be some delay owing to references
Of his case to the committee on elections.
At the conclusion of his interview with
General Corbin, GeneraI Wheeler went
over to the White House. his purpose be-
ing to secure speedy action upon bis
resignation. Il 10 learned that suoh
action has been withheld by the Presi-
dent only to legalizs General wheeler's g
travelling expenses and per diem up to
the moment OF his arrival In Washington.
General Wheeler was with the President
some time.
On leaving the White Hous, he said his
resignation had not yet been accepted,
but he expected a decision would be
reached within q few days.
