Our Emperor VIII Not Apologize,
IT is rather important fact that
Emperor William thought it neces-
sary to apologize for iucurring
large expenses in sending an ex
pedition to China without sum
moning the Reichstag and secur-
ing its assent beforehand. The
Constitution Of the Empire re
quires the sanction Of that body Tor
all war expenditures and for the
sending OF troops out Of the coun-
try no such assent was given, or
even sought by the Emperor. He
made war and incurred debt on his
own sole responsibility. Ofcourse,
the Reichstag will sanction the
steps he has taken because they
are irrevocable, but the sanction
ought to be accompanied by an
explicit declaration that it is MOTTO
be taken in the light OF a prece-
dent tor the future. The Reich
stag represents the nation. Its
civil liberty resides there. Il has
none that it can afford to lose. A
tyrant usually begins by helping
himself to the public treasure, and
if the representatives Of the people
make no objection, even the for
mality Of an apology will presently
be omitted.

Great Britsnn,s white Elephant.


GREAT BRITAIN has acquired in
South Africa a white elephant sim.
liar to that which we have on our
hands in the Philippines. The
question OF the hour in England
is, "Where are we to find soldiers
to garrison the Transvaal and the
Orange Free Slater" The trouble
is that if enough soldiers be de-
tached to keep the Beers in ubjec-
tion troops will be lacking for
emergencies that may arise else
where in the world. AS events are
moving it need surprise no one to
see a military conscription in the
United Kingdom within the next
decade. The exigencies oi the
situation seem likely to demand it.

the brutal manner in which Great

declaration that the Beers would

OF stage pictures.
The interest shown by local theatre
gOers in Mr.. Wilson's engagement next
week has been most remarkable. The
management has already booked in
advance by letter the largest number of
seats ever recorded by an attraction at
the theatre. Many theatre parties will
attend, one alone taking 400 seats.
The Monks Of Malabar" is the title Of
his new opera, and it has proven to be
one OF the biggest successes that this
favorite comedian has ever known. Mr..
Wilson has new company to support
him here this season. Foremost of all
is Madge Lessing, who has made so
MANY successes. while Van Rensselaer,
Wheeler, Hallen Mostyn, Clara Palmer,
Edith Bradford, and Louise Lawton will
all be seen in congenial roles, and last,
but not least, there will be chorus Of

peared with Mr.. Wilson in this city.

horse in General Scott's army with
which he conquered Mexico.
Five years later, when Captain
Grant was stationed with the Fourth
Infantry at Columbia Barracks, now
Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia
River in what was then Washington
Territory, he purchased the most valu-
able horse in that part Of the country,
calling him Garland, in honor of his
brigade commander during the Next
can war. In April, 1853, Lieutenant
George B. Mcclellan, of the Engineer
Corps, reached Columbia Barracks,
and for three months, while on duty
there, was Grants guest. The day OF
his arrival, while seated with several
comrades in front of the officers
quarters, they saw the captain return
ing from a ride on his superb charger
and approaching six-gun battery
which was parked some 300 yards dis
tant. AS he drew near the guns ana
they were observing the graceful
movements of Garland and his perfect
rider the group of officers saw Grant
pull down his hat more firmly and
seat himself squarely and securely in
the saddle. HE is going to leap the
battery" they exclaimed, when Nc
Clellan and the others-including Cen
eral Rufus ingalls,, Grants West Point
classmate, who told the story-all
stood up to see the interesting per-

speed toward the pieces, Grant put

another, as easily and gracefully as

Anecdotes of Lincoln.

Lincoln was wont to relate with
great gusto story of his familiar ca
reer as captain of the Sangamon COM
pany raised for the Black Hawk war.
There was absolutely no discipline in
the company at first, and Lincoln was
as innocent Of military tactics as the
greenest recruit in the lot, and his
plumbers were many. He used to tell
how his ready wit extricated him from
a dilemma in drilling. Although the
eXpedient would hardly be approved
by military authorities and has not
been adopted in the course Of instruc-
ton at West Point, 1t was q character
istic bit of Lincolnia. Lincoln was
required to march a squad of men
across field in company front and
then take them through gateway.
He said in telling the story: Il could
not for the life of me remember the
word of command for getting my COM
pany endwise, so that it could get
through the gate; so, as we came near
the gate l shouted: This company is
dismissed for two minutes, when it
will fall in again on the other side
of the gate"
During his Indian campaign he
once saved the life Of an Indian who
took refuge in the camp. The soldiers
were determined to kill the Indian,
and as they were lawless and desper-
ate fellows, to oppose their will was to
risk death. But Lincoln was always
the champion of the distressed and
| Ivy force of eloquence and character
compelled the men to forego their de-
signs. His authority as an officer was
not regarded, but his strength of will
and personal influence prevailed.

A Polite Stranger.

A big, fine-looking man sat in the
corner Of Brooklyn car reading his
newspaper. Next to him sat a little
woman in an up-to-date frock. She
had box of candy in one hand and
an opera libretto in the other, says the
New York Telegraph. She tried to
get a newspaper from a newsboy who
came through the ear. but the con-
ductor broke up the transaction, and,
Selling the small newsdealer, put him
down on the pavement. Then the
pretty woman in the up-to-date frock
paid her fare in pennies and smiled.
The big mans newspaper was spread
out before her eyes, and she glanced at
the headlines. Then she read half a
column about thrilling rescue Of
typewriter girl by gallant fireman.
She glanced sideways at the big man.
Apparently he was taking no notice.
She began on a story of burglars in
a south side fiat, how they bound and
gagged a woman. stole her sealskin
sacque and "Oh, the horrid
things!" she exclaimed eScitedly. The
big man looked around inquiringly,
and then. quite as a matter of course,
he said: Have you finished this page,
madam? If so, let us turn to the stock
reports and the society news"

GRANTS CHARGES.

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 steed, and
that was that he should go. No Next
can vaquero, Bedouin sheik or Ameri-
can cowboy had firmer seat, or more
resembled a centaur. Early in the
Mexican war Grant purchased 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 ter
rife rate of speed. soon disappearing

Longstreet, who after more than half
a century recalls the incident, in a let
ter to the present writer, states that
no 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:
Il had, however, but little difficulty
in breaking him, although the first
day there were frequent disagreements
between us as to which way we should
go, and sometimes as to whether we
should go at ALL At no time during
the day could choose exactly the part
of the column | would march with, but
after that l had as tractable horse
as any in the army
During the occupation of the capital
by General SCOTS forces, Mexican
gentleman, with whom Grant was on
terms of intimacy, requested the loan
of Cortez for an afternoon. His own
err said afterward: II was afraid he
could not ride the horse, and yet l
knew if l said a word to that effect the
suspicious Spanish nature would think
I was unwilling to lend him.. Inc
result was the Mexican mounted the
spirited stallion, was thrown before ne
had gone three blocks and instantly
killed.
A few days before the American
army evacuated the city of Mexico,
Grant mounted Cortez and rode out to
make morning call on the colonel in
command of the Castle of Chapultepec.
The officers quarters were inside or
the fortress, which was surrounded
with a high, broad earthwork. Riding
up the outside slope and around the
castle without observing any hitching
post, Grant spurred his steed down the
broad but long, steep, stone stairs that
led into the fort. When the colonel
appeared and saw Cortez tied at the
door. where no horse had ever been
seen before, he exclaimed in astonish-
ment:
Lieutenant, how in heavens name
did you get your horse down here?'
Rode him down, SIR calmly an

"And how do you expect to get him
out?"
