Washington is place which II is almost

almost to take each building separately;
ii is not possible to walk down any one

an ambition which stops at nothing is
apt to go on, and on, till eyes. brain,

Trying to do too much is one way In

Generally speaking, It is foolishness for
large party to try TO keep together on
any sightseeing expedition. No three
people wish to inspect the same things,
and some are always in hurry. while
others always wish TO linger over inter-
esting objects. The irritation delay and
lettering caused by this difference in
habits. and the haste enforced on the
more dilatory members of the party by
the Impotence of the others, spoiis half
the pleasure of such an expedition, and
adds immensely to the WEAKNESS of it.
The wise siehtseer will take his work
easily, and whatever he enjoys will enjoy
thoroughly and with understandings He
will absorb to the fun the peculiar, quaint
half-modern and half old-fashioned
aspect of buildings and street scenes-a
which is not appreciated
by the permanent resident. but which
invariably strikes the visitor. especially
the visitor from the North The Wash

This action cost the British Govern

a civil suit brought before the Privy

Government to alter the law. which step
resulted in the present modus vivendi.

British cabinet could get bill to coerce

Memphis arrived in this city last night
over the Southern Railroad in a special

by way of the South.
The committee is composed of repre-
sentatives of the city administration, the
different business organizations. the State
camp of Confederate Veterans, and the
Sons of Veterans. They will be presented
to the President this morning by Senator
elect Carmack at 10 o'clock. The formal
invitation will be delivered through Gen.
George w. Gordon. who represents the
Confederate veterans on the committee
and who will be spokesman. The members
of the committee will remain in the city
to witness the inauguration.

Mitchell, Whose Cannon Defended
the Legations. In San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S.-J. Mitchell
Of the United States Marine Corps. was
one Of the men who arrived on the trans
port Solace. Mitchell is regarded as the
hero of Pekin, for # was he who did much
toward saving the lives of the people of
the legations when the Boxers and the
Chinese troops were storming the refuge
of the foreigners.
There were 200 souls in the legation
compound and they had no weapon OF
defence larger than an ordinary rifle, but
Mitchell had found in junk heap an old
cannon, which had not been used for
many years. He fitted it up and mounted
it on the compound walls When the
Chinese had got their Krupp gun in place
and were about TO open fire, Mitchell turn
ed loose his ancient cannon and the first
shot knocked the Krupp gun of the Box
ers from its position and rendered ii use
less.
Mitchell fired repeatedly, causing great
execution and preventing storTuing
party of Chinese from reaching the in
terror Of the compound on the last day
of the siege the Chinese planned another
desperate attack. They mounted a new
gun, but when it was In place Mitchell
promptly dismounted the second KruDp
gun, killing many of the Chinese. Later in

troops reached the walls of Pekin
