Lord Roberts reports, under date OF
Belfast, Aug. ~, as follows:
"Our movements are slow on ac-
count Of the extent and nature Of the

tory advance and met with decided
success. The work fell entirely to Bull

PIayti-.te In the Senate.

Senator Butler once had bill appro-
priating 5000 TO build monument on
the Moore's Creek battlefield, North
Carolina. which was an especial object
of Senator WC!cCtt's fun.
Can the senator tell me the date of
the battle?" he asked Mr.. Butler.
1T was the first battle of the Revo-
luton, 20 days before the battle of
Lexington" was the reply.
"But cannot the senator tell re the
day and the year?" persisted Mr.. VOL
colt.
Mr.. Butler was stumped. II can tell
the senator tomorrow" he finally re-
marked.
"Then," replied Mr.. Wolcott. 81 will
let my objection stand until tomorrow
also"
A few minutes later Senator Wolcott
relented, and Mr.. Butler made another
effort to get the appropriation agreed
to. This time 1t was Senator Lodge
who objected.
"Oh. don't object, Lodge" said VOL
colt In a stage whisper; hell put the
date Of the battle forward year II
you are Jealous on account Of Lexing-
ton"
But Mr.. Lodge continued to object,
and the monument bill remained on the
Observation-Disclosures Post.
