POLITICAL NOTES.
Captain Wires Friends Want Him TO
Run.

Run.
A number of Hon. George D. Wise's
friends have appealed 70 him in the last
few days to become candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
Several waited upon him Saturday, and
others called yesterday
He gave them all respectful hearing,
but did not intimate as to whether or not
he would yield to their wishes.
II have nothing 1 can say for publica-
ton about this matter at his time" the
Captain said yesterday .Of course, 1
feel highly complimented that so
many good Democrats should wish
me TO run. But my professional engage
ments have kept me so busy of late [
have had time TO give but very little
thought to politics.
There will not be very many Virginia
Republicans at the national convention OF
phia to-day. II is understood to be
the wish of the Administration that not
many ohice-hoiders attend.
United States Marshal Treat and District
Attorney. Edgar Allan are, as far as is
known, the only Federal officials from
Richmond who are attending the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Jonas Marcuse, the elector for the
Third District Is also at Philadelphia
Mr. s. Taylor McCue United States
Tobacco Inspector, left yesterday for
philadelphia. to attend the Republican

NOT be a difficult task to estimate the
direction of the wind with sufficient &C
cuyacy to make the desired attack at al
most every given point. In fact, he has
found that winds Of varying direction
are exceptional, and, that winds that re-
verse or blow in the oppo@ise direction
within a few moments occur SO rarely as
scarcely to be worthy of consideration.
Mr. Eddy believes that ne can easily
demonstrate the practicabiiity OF the

flows into the chalk strata, which go- ing towards London is on an inclined plane of thirteen feet to the mile. The water, as has been shown, permeates the chalk to the extent of half its bulk. So that practically there is an inclined plane of water constantly passing down the twenty-mile course from Dunstable to London. This water which takes thirteen months to reach the London chalk from Dunstable, Is filtered in the most perfect manner. The speaker de-
 clared that a conservative estimate placed the amount of water always in reserve under London at 50,O00,O 00O- 900 gallons. One of the London water works companies is said to be drawing 20,000,000 gallons of water daily from this source. The chalk prevails over the greater part of the London basin, which covers about 2,50O square miles.

THE CHINESE TROUBHE.

It is apparent that there is still a government in China, or, at least, some thing that calls itself government. It is issuing "edicts' against the ''rebels' and 1t is also trying to save China from the wrath of the Powers. It has asked France and the United States to help extricate it from the difficult and dangerous position in which it finds it. self. It will not have help from France until France is better satisfied about what has been done in China and what will be done. What the United States will do doth not yet appear, but it now seems probable that it will be some what more promptly friendly than France.
 As it is evident that news can get into Pekin and that some can get out it is not very encouraging that definite news of the fate of the foreigners there doesn't get out Perhaps the, Chinese government isn't ready to have it get out There Is no faith in the European capitals in the honesty of the Chinese government, and the expectation there is that when the truth Is told it will be dreadful story. It must come out soon, even though the Chinese don't want it to-

PURE VAT ER FOR LONDON

If the truth was told by an engineer at public meeting held in Camberwell the other day London has all the pure water she needs right under her, and can easily get at it. The speaker said that"it was a geological fact beyond question that there is an inclined plane of water, or veritable lake, constant ly passing away, and also constantly held in solution, in the chalk strata un- der London. This chalk is at varying depths, but always fairly accessible, be- low the ordinary London clay and above the gault clay, which is impervious. Moreover, the chalk is to be found be- low any part of London and suburbs, and all the way to Dunstable and the Hertfordshire hills From these hills large and constant supply of water

against the rapid movement of both men and wagons. It is likely that the fighting force would have to be march ed in a column of fours on account of the narrow roadbeds. Progress under these conditions must necessarily be slow, but when the additional element of opposition from armed Chinese is considered it will he realised that the relief of Pekin is not thnG to be con summated in a few hours.

MOUNTED ENGINEERS IN WAR


 One of Napoleons maxims, as far as I can remember, runs as follows: "The general who omtS to avail himself of the services of the engineers fails to make use of an arm which is always useful, never harmful, and often indis- pensable!"
 I make use of this quotation to open an article which will be confined to the work which has been done during the present campaign by one of the small est units in our service-a unit the de- velopment of which I feel is destined to prove indispensable in future warfare The unit in particular is the field troop Royal engineers attached to General French's cavalry division.
 In the present campaign, I believe, mounted engineers, in the full technical meaning of the term, have been used for the first time Napoleon, it is true, found occasion in peculiar cireumstan- ces to mount his engineers. But this was only as a means of rapid trans port He had no special organization of mounted engineer detachments or corps trained and equipped to act in concert with cavalry. Further, I can find no record of such a corps existing and being used in European warfare of more recent date. The Germans cer- tainly possessed no such organization in 1871. With us mounted engineers first found favor with General Sir G. Luck, the late inspector general of

RRYly NOT SURE or COLORADO

The Bryan shouters have been figur- ing on carrying this year all the States
 they carried four years ago and few
 more that they didn't carry then. Such
 figuring is necessary to start the cam
 paign with. But there are indications
 that even their figuring on some of the
 States carried by Bryan four years ago
 may not have very solid foundation.
 Colorado, for instance. Colorado was
 once a good Republican State. It gave it's electoral vote to Garfield, Blaine and
 Harrison in the elections of 1880, 1884 and 1888. In 1892 the com bination or Democrats and Pop ulists gave Weaver plurality of over 14,000, but the Republi- cans retained 1.49 per cent of the total vote. Then came Bryan and the 16 to campaign of 1896. Colorado was a silver mining State, and Senator Teller, it's leading Republican, was an ardent free silver advocate. In the election of 1896 the Republicans boiled only 1885 per cent. of the total vote to S3.70 for Bryan. But times have changed in Colorado In 1898 the Republican vote rose to 339S per cent, and good judges think it will be large enough 10 win next fall. The Denver Republican, the leading newspaper of the State, which supported Bryan in 1896, says: So far as we are able to learn after careful inquiry in many quarters not one silver Republican in a in Colorado is willing to accept either the ticket or the platform adopt ed at Kansas City. Nobody need be sur prised to see Colorado give a majority for Mckinley.

INrEREs7ING nUr UNIMPREssIVE.

TERES7ING HUT UNTMP F ESSTFF. The decision which has just been
 made in the case os Mrs. Mattie Dule, of Helena, an American artist living will not be very impressive to those who ought to be impressed by it. It appears that Mrs. Dulie went abroad
 in 1887, intending to return and reside
 in this country, but she met Thomas
 Dulie in 1888 and married him. Her
 case came before Judge Summerville,
 chairman of the board of classification
 of the United States appraisers, who
 made a decision to the effect that
 American women who marry foreigners are no longer American citizens, and the ruling has been sustained as good law. Judge Summerville, in his decision, de- clares that wife's political status fol- lows that of her husband, and that her nationality and domicile for business purposes must always be deemed that of her husband In marrying q foreign CT he holds that the artist must be pre- stunned by law to have lost both her cit izenship and domicile in this country. The only exception would be where the wife acquired a different domicile from that of her husband for the purpose of a suit between herself and her husband
 Of course q United States woman shouldn't do anything that will make her some other kind of woman, and equally of course she will if she wants to. So there's no use preaching,
