Panama, October 27.-The Colombian

here in fine condition
Soon after the Bogota's officers had
landed they were shown the fortifica
tons and sights of the city. Captain
Marmaduke visited Generals Perdomo
and Salazar, who welcomed him most
cordially The Colombian gunboats
Chucito and Clapet are under the orders
or captain Marmaduke, who as chief
commander, will have charge of the
Colombian fleet. which he will reorgan-
ize in American style.
When the Bogota arrived here Rear
Admiral Casey the American comman-
der. sent an officer on board of her to
inquire if the exchange of flags had
been properly made. Captain Marina
duke answered that the exchange OF
flags had been made in San Francisco
and that the Colombian flag had the
right 70 be where it was.
At the governors reception of Capt

THE MISTAKES OF ANIMALS.

It is just as easy to deceive an animal
as 1t is to take in human beings Thou
sands of birds leave a field or garden
alone merely because a scarecrow has
been stuck up in the middle of it.
Fishes are constantly swallowing
hooks that are hidden in make believe
flies. A dog that worried a pasteboard
cat looked a truly pitiable object when
he found out his error.
Show a toy snake to a monkey. and it
will probably scream from terror.
There was no word strong enough to
express the feelings of dog that fon-
died an india rubber pup and then dis
covered it's error When the grampus
charges herring boat painted white, its
folly can only be accounted for on the
supposition that it believes it to be a
white whale.
On the other hand. deer that come to
the river to drink often do not live to
be sorry that they mistook the croco-
ollie floating on the surface for a log OF
wood.

within his residence. Then comes the
head of the Kline family and smites on
the door of the domicile of Mr.. Mouksey,
who answers the call, and finds Mr..
Kline wearing a sour look What for"

General Young Is Visiting.

Catsl1ill. n. Y, Oct 27.-Major Cen
eral Young is a guest of George Mccall
lahan, of Washington. at Mr.. McCalla-
hans country home here. General Young
said today that a published report re-
commissioned officers of the English
army was misleading. 1t is possible, he
said, that TIE Englishmen who are
trained athletes may come over and give
exhibitions at the military tournament
at Madison Square next spring. and
such exhibitions, he added, might prove
interesting to Americans as showing the
results of physical training in England
The English training, according to Gen
eral Young, is not superior to the sys-
tenn at West Point, but is much better
than can be found at American military
posts. General Young will leave for
Washington this evening.

A BID FOR AN INVITATION.
Wales Probably Will Come If He Be
Asked.

London, Oct. 27.-The report cabled
from the United States that the Prince
and Princess of Wales probably would
visit the st. Louis exposition in 1904
created much interest here The news
occupied a prominent place in all after
noon papers. Surprise was expressed in
official circles at the question being pub
licly discussed at all. At York house,
the residence of the Prince and Princess
of Wales, a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press was informed that nothing
was officially known on the subject.
From inquiries in other quarters, how
ever, the Associated Press learned that
while no official invitation had been ex-
tended the matter had been unofiicially
presented to the king who returned
polite nOncomnittal reply. It is pointed
out that the question of acceptance or
deciina ton must, of course. await the
transnittal of an official invitation from
