THE WALL OF PEKIN.

Writing on the city of Pekin, the London Engineer says that the walls of the Tartar city are of an average height of fifty feet, but portions of the north wall reach the height of sixty-one feet. Their average width Is about forty feet, but they have been built so irregularty that in places width of fifty-seven feet is found, in others a width of only twenty-tWo feet. The outer face of the wall is perpendicular, while it's inner face slopes, in some places very eonsd- erably. Parapets are erected on both inner and outer faces of the wall, that on the latter being loopholed and cre- nellated. At intervals of about fifty or sixty yards are large buttresses, every sixth being of much larger size than the others; the smaller ones are about fifteen feet to twenty feet square. Part of the inner brick lining having fallen away from the north wall, an opportu- nifty was afforded of observing it's con- struction. Near the gates the walls are occasionally faced with stone, but in other parts by immense bricks which bear strong resemblance to stone. The space between the facings is filled.

1N INTERVIEWING M.INEUYER.

Wheelmen and soldiers the world over
 euver of. English bicyclists which is to | be carried out near London on the
 August bank holiday and the Saturday and Sunday preceding 1t. Major Gen. eral Sir Frederick Maurice, command ing the Woolwch district, has planned 1 the maneuver which has been approved | by the Secretary of State for War | Hundreds of members of local bicycle clubs and independent riders have vol unteered for the experiment. The gen. eral idea governing the maneuver is that an enemy, after landing between Brighton and Shoreham, is to be kept under observation and it's advance de- layed by large force of cyclists. For clists on each road leading from the coast northward, each body being com posed of six "watchers" of 300 men each besides 200 men told off to carry ammunition, prepare quarters, and cook Sir Frederick has worked out the whole scheme, the maneuvers of the at- tacking force, and the method accord ing to which the bodies of cyclists are to be operated. He has for many years taken a deep interest In military cy- cling, and the plan of the prospective scheme Is due to his conviction that the combination between the rifle and the bicycle can be made most useful for na- tional defense.
 Sir Frederick points out that the dis tance from the coast to London is very short and that an enemy who meant to do any serious mischief would come with the intention of striking for Lon don in the shortest possible time. He believes that from the very large num- Der of roads available for cycles, and from the fact that an enemy would be nearly restricted to roads for move- ments, check could be more rapidly placed on his advance by a proper use of cyclists than by any other means

We do not see how any intelligent newspaper editor, or any other intelligent observer of men and things, can believe that Bryan will be elected. His chances seem to be much poorer than they were four years ago. Then he had general discontent, an able and rich silver gang, and fairly efficient organization to help him. The general discontent is abated, the silver issue is dead, and his supporters haven't a very efficient or ganization, and are not likely to have. The gold Democrats can't vote for him.

| London is big city, but some things seem to be noticed there that would | easily escape notice in small cities in l this country. For instance, in conse- quence of report that free passes to
 certain exhibition had been issued to three inspectors of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade an official investigation was ordered. It was discovered that com plimentary tickets had been issued to the officers, who admitted that they
 had received them, but declared that no
 other favor of any kind had been ex-
 tended Each of the accused officers
 stated that, though he was provided
 with diploma bearing the seal of the
 County Council, which authorized him
 to enter places licensed by the Coun-
 cil, it was in practice not possible to
 obtain immediate admission to all such
 places, and that, in case of this par
 ticular exhibition, to which there were
 five entrances, considerable delay was
 often experienced as they could only be admitted by specified agent. Each
 of the three officers claimed that he had
 asked for a pass simply with a view to
 the avoidance of delay. On receiving these statements, the Chief of the Bri-
 gade at once suspended the three off,
 cers. In his report to the County Coun- cil, he says that the culprits were in trusted with responsible duties, and it
 was of the utmost importance that of ficials in their position, who might have
