GRANTS

From his earliest boyhood General
Grant was an expert rider, and like
Washington, he possessed a mysteri-
Gus power over horses. He ridiculed
the idea that he could be thrown, so
long as the horse kept on his feet. He
asked but one thing of a steed, and
that was that he should go. No Mexi-
can Yaquero, Bedouin sheik or Ameri-
can cowboy had a frmer seat, or more
resembled a centaur. Early in the
Mexican war Grant purchased a SUI
perb stallion that had just been cap
tured from a herd Of wild Texas
horses. He was blindfolded and
then saddled for the first time.
The young lieutenant, %springing
lightly into the saddle, ordered
the blindfold removed, when the
untamed steed bounded like a bull,
reared, leaped, threw his head almost
to the ground, sprang first to the right
and then to the left in his efforts to
unseat his rider; but finding all his
efforts futile, he dashed away at a ter
rife rate of speed. o disappearing
in the distant %chaparral. General
Longstreet, who after more than half
a century recalls the incident, in a let
ter to the present writer, states that
nc anxiety was felt concerning Grants
safety, who was then. as well as pre-
viously while a cadet at the Military
Academy, universally recognized as
an accomplished and fearless horse
man. Of Cortez, as Lieutenant Grant
named his wild charger. he wrote In
his Personal Memoirs:

There is some doubt as to whether
Canada will furnish a team to take part
in the contest for the Palma Interna-
tional trophy which has not been shot
since 1876. The prize. which is known
as the Palma or Centennial trophy was
first shot for in 1876 by representative
teams from Ireland. Scotland. Wales.
Australia. Canada and America. The
United States team was SO successful
in the first and second contests that the
trophy has not been shot since 1873. 1t

Washington and has been resurrected
by General Spencer who hopes that by
playing this event on the program a
Canadian team will come here to shoot
for it.

So far as Ii Hung Chang is concerned,

the case nothing is as yet known here.

DISCUSSING The SITUATION.
German and EngI,nd Do Not Favor Russo :
American Proposition.

London, Sept. leo a. MIN the
absence of further news from China.
the papers are again filled with dis
cussions of the Russo-AmeriCan pro
posals. which. 50 far as may be gath
cred from the representations of opin-
ions in the various European capitals,
are calculated to subject the unity Of
the allies to an exceedingly severe ana
dangerous test.
In Germany especially those propos-
ais are 50 diametrically opposed to
Emperor Williams policy that they
have produced something like constcr-
nation. AS the Daily News editorially
remarks: Count Won Walderze was
assuredly not sent to assist in rcstor-
mig the Empress DOwager"
1t is recognized on all sides that Ger
manys decision is the important part
Of the matter Emperor William in
tended by dispatching Count Won
Walderze to have the master hand in
the Chinese settlement. Russia has
taken the wind out of that officials
sails and is now posing as the friend
and protector Of China
The morning papers express the
create suspicious Of the intentions
of Russia. Inc Times editorial, VINO n
fairly represents the opinion Of all,
says:
THE advantages of Russia's policy
are not manifest: and il is very doubt
full whether it will recommend itself
to powers like England ana Germany
that have large commercial interests
in the establishment of a stable and
progressive government to replace the
reactionary clique which has impedcl
all progress and development in China
in recent years.
Negotiation with Ii Hung Chang
would be a conformation of government
crimes and the throwing away of all
the advantages gained by the occupa-
ton of Pekin.
Much mischief may already have
been done by the hesitation to enter
the forbidden city. To withdraw from
Pekin would be interpreted as proving
not only that the allies are towards,
but that they are hopelessly divided.
1t may be that some Of the powers
will withdraw, but that does not imply
that others are bound to leave Pekin
and to acquesCe in the restoration Of
a government guilty of a gross inter
national crime"

Will Defend British Interests.

New York. Aug. 3l.-Mr. Broderick :
references to the Chinese question in
his speech on Wednesday have made
some impression, chiefly because the
under secretary Of foreign affairs IS
believed to share Lord Salisbury's con-
hdence, says the London correspond
ent Of the Tribune Mr.. Broderick only
repeated that Great Britain is not in
cllned to be forced into accepting
large responsibilities in China while at
the same time Her MaJesty's govern
ment is determined to defend the Brit
ish interests. Not much can be maGa
out of this. though no doubt il accu-
rately reflects the non-committaly at
titude of the British cabinet. He stat
ed III 50 many words that the govern
ment Will. if it can get a reasonable OPP
portunity, dissolve Parliament and ap-
peal to the constituencies in the course
of the autumn. For this reason Eng
lish diplomacy even if busy just now,
tends 70 be unusually unobstrusive.
The war office has already made
preparations for keeping the two In
dian divisions and nearly a brigade OF
English troops in the Far East all win
ter, and if the South African war
comes to close, this autumn. a mum.
Der of regiments will be shipped to the
Far East. 1t does not follow that the
british government contemplates
further military operations in China.
but II feels that il must be prepared
for eventualities.
one of the most disquieting circum-
stances for British statesmen is the
maner in which the naval strength or
some OF the continental powers in Chi
nese WatTse IS being increased. Both
Germany ana Russia will have more
