ARMY MANEUVERs IN WEST.
Order Issacd for Mobilization of Regu-
 lars and Militia.

Washington, Aug. 20.--An order was issued at the war department to-day directing the mobolization of a mixed division of regulars and militia on the large reservation at Fort Riley, Texas The governors of all the states were in- vited to send a contingent of the vari- ous state forces to participate in the maneuvers, but for want of appropria- tions and various other causes very few of the states found themselves able at this late date to participate. It is ex- pected that President Roosevelt will re- view the troops.
 The regular contingent of the division will go into camp at Fort Riley Septem- Der 20 and will be followed by the state organization September 29. It is in- tended to continue joint maneuvers for a period of ten days after the division 1 is organized S#t
 The benefits to be derived from bring ing together regiments, brigades and divisions is so apparent that the war department has fully determined upon | this policy for the future. Many of the states have permanent maneuyers fol their national guards during the sum- | mer months, and the result has beer extremely beneficial to all those organ. izations.
 There will be no effort toimitate the great maneuvers, which take place an nually in Europe. The government in tends to utilize its own reservations fol this work, whereas in Europe the man. euvers practically cover space a: great as the whole of New England
 With their long experience in these matters they have become able to man
 euver over private property under som | just and equitable arrangement fo
 compensation, but in America any at tempt to do this would be followed b,
 a flood of claims for damages, and nt
 such scheme could be carried out.
 The following officers have been as
 signed to duty on the staff of Genera Bates and have been directed to repor
 at Fort Riley not later than Septembe
 20: Major J. W. McLeland. cavalry, ad jutant-general; Colonel ( s. Mills inspector general; Captain (
 B. Baker chief quartermaster; Captail
 H. J. Gallagher, chief commissary
 Lieutenant Colonel John Van R. Hofi
 chief surgeon, and Major G. P. Scriver 1 chief signal officer.

READYILLE CIRCUIT RACES.
Track Record fin One Event Broken
 Despite Calculations.


 Readville, Mass, Aug. 2o.-The grand circuit card this afternoon was the one arranged for yesterday and which the rain prevented. As the natural outcome the track was sticky, but remarkable to state with this drawback Direct Hal broke his own record of 2:061s and the Norfolk stake record of one-fourth second slower by going the third heat in 2.06.T This was easily the best of the day and the great incident was the whirlwind finish in the second heat be- tween Direct Hal, driven by Geers, and Greenline, the Goshen, Ind, horse, driv- en by Saunders. Geers was obliged to make Direct Hall do the last quarter in :29A to win and he finished only half a head to the good at that.
 Geers won two races to-day, the Nor- folk purse of $5,OO0 with Direct Hal and $1, 900 purse for the 2:1S trot with Prince of Orange ,-
 Dan Patch, who is at this track in an ticipation of his trial against Star Ponter's famous mile of 1:59A Satur- day, was sent around several times be- tween the heats. The summaries:

MADE BY f COMMITTEE OF THE

. Washington, Aug. 2O.-The following communication to-day was addressed to the president at Oyster Bay by the cit- izens' committee of the G. A. R.:
 "The citizens' executive committee on the thirty-sixth national encampment of the G. A.

 This will in all probability be the | last great gathering of the veterans of ' the civil war at the national capital and large number of them are coming 1 here for the purpose of meeting their comrades in reunion at camp fires in a social way. In fact many of them will make sacrifices in order to be present.
 we sincerely trust that you may see your way clear to comply with this re- quest, which will be in the line of en- couraging patriotism and devotion to l the flag of our country.
 You will be gratified to know that on this occasion a large number will also assemble here who were soldiers ir
 the Confederate army as well as several
 thousands of your comrades in the wal 1 with Spain.''

ATTEMPT TO ROB BANK.
An Arrest I'm Bridgeport-Giass tn Bank Building Broken.

Building Broken.
 Bridgeport, Aug. 20.-Edward Wilkin- son, colored, was arrested here tonight by Officers Fox and Marco for an al- legged attempt to enter the Bridgeport National bank by breaking a plate glass window with a brick in the hall- way of the bank building. The officers heard the crash of glass and entered the hallway at 7:29 p. m. and saw Will kinson stealing down stairs from the upper floor on tiptoe. He claimed he worked at the bank. which was found untrue. The officers believe Wilkinson intended raising the window by insert ing his hand through the broken glass and reaching the spring. This done he would have had access to the bank and with four foot hard wood club found where he had concealed 1t on the stair way with half brick, it is thought he intended to knock out the bank watch man when he entered on his rounds, and once inside could have admitted confederates and have had an hours chance to rob the bank before the bank Watchman would be missed

hlIip pditSS' AiiF I'iAAASA ahAhpi oho
poet died at Nottingham yesterday.
Philip ]. Bailey was the oldest OF the
British poets He began his masterpiece
"Festus"-before the Victorian era had
dawned.
He was born at Basford. a suburb OF Not
tingham, in 1876 one year after Waterloo.
Gladstone and Tennyson were children. the
Duke of Wellington was in his prime, By
ron was still alive. None OF the present
reigning sovereigns OF Europe was born.
1t was into a world without steam and eicc-
tricity, without telegraphs and telephones,
without many of the commonest essentials
of the present day, that the author OF "Fes-
tus'' was born. From the time he was ten
he wrote rhymes. "Festus." conceived and
planned originally in 1896. and published In
1899 was well received In England, where IT
passed through eleven editions. and In
America. where Il passed through more
than thirty. The eleventh. or jubilee edl-
tion-so-called from the fact that it was is
sued fifty years after the first edition-with
q prose preface explanatory OF the purpose
of the poem. was published In 1889. Inter-
viewed of late years by contributor TO
the Young Man. Mr.. Bailey spoke Of the
inception of his famous work as follows:
81 began in the most natural way imagin-
able. i merely Started to write. From the
time was ten years old had always been
writing verse, more or less. But had time
at my ulsposdl--ln those Gays l. uid pretty
much as l. liked-and / soon found myself
making progress with 'Festus. had the
theory OF the poem IN my mind, and the
plan OF working * out. as well as the con-
ception of the main characters. knew the
theology was not popular, and that was
probably why / embodied II In the work.
The doctrine OF Uniyersalism had never
been introduced into poetry. and In that
aspect 'Festus' was different from anything
that had previously appeared That was
the novel characteristic OF the poem"
THE Angel World" 1850; The Mystic"
1885; THE Universal Hymn" 1851. all since
mainly Incorporated with ''Festus": The
Age" a satire. 1855. and prose work on

poems. comprise MI Bailey's contributions
