IN THE STEPS OF THE SMART
SET.


A dispatch from Newport, r. l., says:
l was iusl a week ago that Rev. Brad
din Hamilton, in a sermon criticisipg
the foibles of the fashionables, declared
tnst whatever was done by the ex-
elusive set would be copied by the
people st large. There was a good
deal OF sccfiing at the preacher, but
events have borne out the theory in
one particular at least.
Spoutiug Rock Beach is the bathing
resort of the exclusive set. or late
here has been isd among the fashion,
ables Tor midnight entertainments, and
mauy have bsen the excursions to the
beach after the house festivities were
over.
Although at such times there has
been merry sport in the waves, which
aas been continued until the early
August dawn was almost due, the su-
thoritits have never thought oil mOlest-
lug the bathers.
In the dark of Sunday morning a
10 le ONE bicycle cop" who was pstro'-
,ng the beach heard splashiDg in he
waves ard the sound of merriment.
He knew that it was not lociety's
night at the bescn--who could
1t be that was thus violating the pro.
prieties of the time and place as adjusi-
ed for the regulation OF the people at
large? he called Cut. A cheerful
snout answered him, and presently d
map aud two women crawled up on
he sands and stood before him in the
moonlight.
The "bicycle cop" has seen many
short suits on the bathers at Spoutipg
Rock Beach. but this was the first time
that he had encountered The mermaid
costume in its complete simple ty. He
made the bsthers dress and follow him
20 the station house. There the mel
man, who is prominent in local politics,
attempted 10 escape by the use OF bis

The story spread throughout the cot

oig crowd of fasbonsbles at the beach.

THE PASSION PLAY.-Bishop A. Van
de Vyver, who has just returned to
Richmond from an extended trip
abroad, talked in most interesting
way yesterday of the Passion Play, the
performance of which he witnessed at
Oberammergsu,

not appreciate the deep religious SEN

"This is due to the fact that all talk OF

sentatiop OF the passion OF our Lord.
II was deeply impressed with the
play. Every actor performed mis- part,

citation of the great facts which the
drama illustrates. There was a dignity

Cfrculatiou Statement,
The Pekfn Cnmpai-n.

Again there is little news of a definite
character from China The statement is
reiterated that the relief column has start
ed from Tientsin ard is already thirty five
miles on its way to Pekin. This may be
true, but it is hardly probable that it is
so. That distance would carry the inter-
national troops beyond Yangtsun, where
the Chinese Army has been reported
strongly entrenched and where it has been
generally assumed that the decisive en-
gagement Of the campaign would be fought.
However, it is likely that the movement
practically has begun, as it is evident that
important preliminary operations have
been in progress for several days.
We are earnestly in hope that there may
be no further delay. If the legation people
in Pekin are still aii.e. they arc in the
most desperate straits. and by this time
must be all but out CT ammunition. The
fact that the bIoodthirsty Ii Ping Heng
IS reported in command at Pekin, where
ae recently arrived with an army after
massaCring the foreigners and native
Christians at Paoting-fu, renders the sit
lation more gloomy AS readers of The
Times are aware. this miscreant no sooner
reached the capital than he induced the
Empress Dowager to cause the decapitation
Of two members of the Tsung-Ii-T amen who
we're in favor of protecting the legations.
Il is plain. therefore. that not a moment
s to be lost ii any of the Americans. Euro
peans, and japanese now in Pekin are to
be rescued.
The Government probably is better in
formed regarding the actual state of az
fairs At Tientsin than the press can be,
dependent. as it is upon censored mes
-sages. General Chaffea has reported fully
under date of July 81, and 1t is therefore
certain that the American troops had not
then started Our authorities are sup
pressing his message, or much of it, for
prudential reasons, but we deduce from
an official bulletin issued this morning
that the expedition was expected to be
under way by August 3. Under the most
favorable conditions, in that case. it coud
hardly arrive in front OF Pekin before Au-
gust u. It is not a very encouraging out

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Mr.. Bryan in Chicago.-As heretofore
announced by The Times. Mr.. Bryan, i'm
mediately after his notification at Indian
apolis next Wednesday, will return 10 Chi
cago and remain in that city for week
OF more. 1t is understood that the chief OBJ
iect of Mr.. Bryan's long visit to Chicago
is to give his personal aid to the national
managers in the work of organizing the
party in that city. Mr.. Mckinley would
have lost Illinois in 1896 If Mr.. Hanna had
not secured such an enormous and suspi-
cfous majority for him in Chicago. It Is
true that Mr. Mckinley received a MAORI
ty of the rural vote of the State, but this
could have been overcome by the Cook
county Democracy if Mr. Hanna had not
by some means not yet fully understood
secured such a big percentage of change
in the Democratic vote of the city. 1t is
known that Mr. Bryan has been
carefully looking into this for d
year or more, and it is
said that he believes he has at last made
some important discoveries. Coercion, of
course, played big part in Mr.. Hannas
game in Chicago in the last campaign, but
this does not account for the tremendous
lead he got for Mr. Mckinley there. 1t
is not believed that coercion will be at
tempted this year by Chicago employers
for several reasons, not the least of which
is that the inanciers and manufacturers
have secured from the Mckinley Admins
tration about all they demanded, and their
interest in politics at present is at low
ebb. Another potent reason is that organ
lied labor is stronger and more sensitive
in Chicago today than it ever was, and
serious trouble might ensue if the eoes-
cion tactics of the last campaign were at
tempted this year. Mr.. Bryan is expected
to apply himself diligently TO this improv
ed situation, and with the aid of Mayor
Harrison and his advisers he viii so or
ganiZe the local campaign there that Chair
man Jones will be able TO more effectualiy
deal with Mr.. Hanna in Chicago than was
the case in 1896. Then, too, the party is
in much better shape in the big town on
the lake than it was in the last campaign,
and with all of the machinery of the city
government in their hands it is believed
the Chicago Democrats can roll up a big
majority for Bryan if they want to- At
