HOW DID THEY GET THEREs
Curious Things Found Far From
Home.
From london Answers.

FROM London answers.
One of the officers on Col. Young
husbands staff writes to a friend that
they are frequently finding objects
which are strangely out of place. A
few months ago, when they were at
Khambalong. this officer picked up a
pair of gloves bearing the name OF
a we'll known London maker; while, in
the Tang pass a private picked w
a small, well thumbed English die
tionary, with a carte-de-visite of a
young Englishman pasted on the fly
leaf.
Quite a curious chapter might be
written on those two finds were IL
possible to discover the owners, of
the lost property. They indorse, at
any rate, other out-of-the-way finds.
A relative Of a friend of the writer
was at the battle of Khartoum, when
Lord Kitchener finally broke the pow
err of the Mahdi and rendered futile
the hostility of the dervishes against
dead dervishes was found a Single eye
glass Of undoubted Mayfair cut. How
did the dervish come. by It?
Sir Henry M. Stanley, the great ex-
plorer, had in his library at Richmond
Terrace, Whitehall, many curious finds
which he came across in his wander
ings across the dark continent Of
Africa. one is a silverplated fork
bearing the name OF a fashionable
London restaurant. This fork was
found in a part OF Africa which had
never before been trodden by the foot
of a white man till Stanley had brok-
en- the record and arrived there with
lllis little band. A pygmy, whose
tribe was unknown till then, was wear
ing the fork around his neck as an
ornament.

New York, Dec. 15.-The subsistence

reactions in the course of it's advance

A most interesting volume might be

CIHCKAMAUGA PARK.
Annual Report of the Commission
New Tablets and Monuments
Erected

Washington. October 1.-THE war
department has just received the re-
port of the Chickamauga and Chat
tanooga National Park commission.
The commissioners state that during
the year monuments were erected and
dedicated by the states of Maryland,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The state of
Ohio also has placed seventy bronze
tablets on Missionary Ridge to mark
the ground of action OF it's regimental
organizations, and three large bronze
tablets to preserve Ohio history in the
battle and that of thirteen batteries.
The commissioner said that work is
progressing very rapidly on the great
New York monument on Lookout
mountain. The commission recon-
mends for the fiscal year increased
provision for maintenance of roads,
also for rebuilding the Peavine Creek
bridge and that the Alexander bridge
which is of wood be replaced with one
of metal.
General Boynton refers to the stay
in the park for the last two years OF
the Seventh cavalry and he says that
the excellent health of that command
has continued to demonstrate that the
park is a region exceptionally free
from disease. and that for troops that
are fully instructed in the sanitary
care of their camps no more health
full location could be found.
Referring to some slight disorders
which have occurred, General Boyd
ton says: THE discords which have
occurred are largely attributable to
the vile conditions which obtain about
all army posts since the abolition OF
the canteen, which action has Substi-
tute.i for the restraining influence of
the post exchange as formerly admin
istered. the surreptitious sale OF the
vilest liquors in the vilest resorts"

LEA is THE CANDIDATE.


Wilmington. Del. october 1.-THE
state committees OF the regular Repuo-
licans and the union or Addicks Repub-
licans met here today and completed
the work OF selecting a compromise
Congressional and State ticket.
For a short time this afternoon 10
looked as though the harmony plan
would not go through. This situation
was brought about by Preston Lea. d
regular Republican, who had been
agreed upon as the compromise candf-
date for governor. officially announce
ing that he would not accept the nomi-
nation with the condition. This condt-
ton was that in the event Of his elec-
ton he should appoint as secretary OF
state any one OF three men To be named

series OF conferences among those In
terested. the union Republicans decided
10 waive the condition and Mr.. Lea ac-
copied the nomination.

Fairmont, w. Va, October 12.-The
second day of the Davis campaign
through Maryland and West Virginia
has added to the reputation OF Mr..
Davis as Young old man. He re-
peated his record of yesterday with a
dozen speeches and added one more
for good measure. Despite the rain
which followed the train, during the
first half af the day. there was no
dampening of enthusiasm or dimin-
ishing of the crowds which greeted
the candidate. At Grafton and
Clarksburg, the day seemed to be set
apart as holiday. In the latter place
an elaborate marching escort and sew
eral bands were in waiting, the party
was conducted to the court house ana
the speeches which were delivered
from the portico of the Jail building
adjoining, were listened to by the
largest outdoor audience yet assem-
bled in journey. An indication of the
earnest side of the campaign was the
attendance of miners, begrimmed
with their work, which they had left
temporarily to listen to the speakers.
While Mr.. Davis is serious taIker,
and especially when he touches on
state issues. which he has been en-
phasizing, his general address is
unique.
Senator Daniel exercises his faculty
for some local or immediate incident
to bring cordial touch with his hear
ers. Ex- Governor White has good
humcr at all times and Mr.. Hill while
always serious in his discussion of the
issues has way of showing his hu-
NOR to advantage. Mr. Hill has
dubbed Mr.. Davis THE grand old maIl
of West Virginia and tells some of
his audiences that Gladstone and Bis
marck are no where in comparIsor.
Senator Daniel declares that he is
having a more strenuous time in keep
ing up with Young Davis than he
had in following the lead of Stone
wall Jackson in a grey jacket during
the war. The special today touched
at the following places: Oakland,
Md, Terra w. Va. Rowlesburg, Tun-
Melton, Newburg. Grafton, Clarksburg.
Gypsey, Enterprise, Worthington and
Monongah, with a night at Farmont
whe; q the train was side tracked for

Gen. Kuropatkin's advance has been
met with a counter advance of the
forces under Field Marshal Oyama. Ac-
cording to advices received at Toxic,
a general engagement is in progress
btween Liao Yang and Mukden; but
reports from Russian sources, describe
the fighting there as merely in the ma
ture of advance guard actions. Gen
eral Kuropatkin is reported to be aim
ing to strike simultaneously at the
widely separated points on the Japa-
nese left There has been hard fight
ing a short distance north Of Bensihu.
in which a loss of $50 in killed o.
wounded is admitted. The Japanese
claim to have cut off a Russian col
umn south of the Taitse river. No Of
fetal reports from the front were re-
ceived by the Russian war office lasc
night and the fact is regarded in some
quarters as indicating the non-success
thus far of General Kuropatkin's for
ward movement. Military authorities,
however, point out that owing to the
magnitude of the movement planned it
is 100 early to expect news of decisive
results.
