HARRISON DOES NOT
RELISH DISCHARGE.
Former Presidents Son Making
Strenuous Efforts to Hold
His Army Position.
RFPUBILC SPECIAL

REPUB1Lc SPECIAL
Washington, Nov. 17.-IAeutenant Colonel
Russell B. Harrison, son Of former President
Harrison. whose abrupt and unexpected
honorable discharge" from the army
caused surprise. is making an earnest effort
to retain his position.
Brigadier General J. c. breckenridge. In
spector General OF the Army. received 4
cable message to-day from Lieutenant
Colonel Harrison asking him to use his in
fiuence to secure his retention in the
service.
Other friends Of the young officer were
asked to aid General Breckinridge in induc-
ing the President to revoke the order Of dis
charge.
Speculation is rife in army circles as to
the real reason behind young Harrisons
honorable discharge" The oflcial eX-
PLANTATION Of the War Department is that
the abolition of the Military Department o:
Porto Rico removed the necessity for an
Inspector General In the island: that all Of
the departments in the United States were
provided with officers Of this corps. and that
1t would have been a useless expense to the
Government to send Lieutenant Colonel
Harrison to the Philippines. as. being a
volunteer. he would. under the law, have to
be returned to the United States before
June so. next. for discharge.
1t is the gossip In army circles that the
real cause of Lieutenant Colonel Harrison's
discharge is the attitude Of his father dur
ing the recent campaign. Former Presi-
dent Harrison declined to make speech in
support Of McKinley's candidacy. and wrote
a mild letter, which did the Republicans
little good.

st. Petersburg Journals Want the
Concert in China Broken.

st. Petersburg, Nov. T.-Despite the fact
that the Russian Minister to China Is CO.
operating in the peace negotiations. the
most influential journals apparently regret
that the United States Government has not
withdrawn from the concert OF the Powers.
The Noyoe Vremya says 1t cannot believe
that real progress has been made and 1t
declares that the propositions formulated
are indecisive and are necessarily merely
preliminary because they contain demands
that China cannot fulfill On account of her
poverty.
Moreover, says the Novoe Vremya, the
military situation is becoming more danger
Gus. the French will probably be compelled
to return to Indo-China. where revolution
airy agents are active. All China is waiting
a. word from the Emperor to begin des-

from which time on there are perfor-
mances every Sunday all through the
summer.
In this poverty-stricken, dilapidated,
gray old Cordova, with less than 40, 900
shiftless and discouraged inhabitants.
1t is hard to recognize the splendid Cap
ital Of the Caliphs, = the Saracen
Athens, whose population once reached
a round million. If Moslem chronicles
are to be believed, this city of Prince
Abdurrahman, whose personal revenues
amounted to sixty million dollars a
year-contained six hundred mosques.
eight hundred schools, eighty thousand
shops, three hundred thousand horses,
fifty hospitals, seven hundred inns. a
library of nine hundred thousand vol
umes, and thousand public baths, be-
sides three thousand private baths of
| wealthy Moors along the Guadalquiver.
1t was the Capital of the richest and
most powerful, as we'll as the most cul-
tivated monarchy in Europe, the centre
of eighty large cities, three hundred
towns of the second class and innumer-
able villages-Of which twelve hundred
lay along the banks of the Guadalquivir.
But even the historic river has dwindled
and shrunken since that golden day,
like everything else in Spain. Then it
was a noble tnll-tided stream, and now
its shallow and muddy current is hardly
worth bridging at this point. In Alb
churchman's time, neither Rome, Da-
could hold candle to Cordova for
riches and magnificence: and to this
seat of learning came students from all
parts of Europe, to be instructed by
Arab sages in the arts and sciences,
music, poetry and astronomy. All these
glories vanished with the Turbaned
Moors, who carried away with them to
their own Morocco even the secret of
making the once-celebrated Cordova
leather; leaving behind neither trade
nor manufactures and almost no life of
any kind The town of to-day impress
ses you as being the drowsiest as well
as the saddest and shabbiest on earth.
Its ill-paved streets, lined with crumb-
ling casas, whose bullying balconies al
most touch overhead, are so narrow as
to preserve perpetual twilight, and so
crooked that you are warranted to lose
yourself i'll their dirty labyrinths within
three minutes after leaving the hotel,
if you venture out without guide
