England, according to latest infor- nation, will send more people to St Louis this year than ever came across the "big pond" before. The bond of friendship now existing between America and the mother country was never stronger. says an exchange, and this friendly feeling will be large ly emphasized by English attendance at the fair. The English government has already shown pra1seworthy in- terest in the fair by erecting as a building a replica of the orangery and the gardens surrounding Kensington palace, where Queen Victoria was born, and also sending the lamented queens golden jubilee presents as an exhibit, besides being represented in all exhibit departments of the fair
 ''It's poor rule that won't work both ways" said one official of the White Star line. "What brings people over here from abroad is very likely to keep those here at home. There. fore, many Americans will decide tc visit the St Louis fair, and let the European trip wait another year."

Now the wing of the party the Times represents is surely responsible for the defeat of Bryan in ninety-six and nineteen hundred also. There Is no one with grain of com mon sense but what knows that to be so. Had all the democrats stood by their guns Bryan would have been president for at least one term. If he had been elected and the country suffered under his administration it would have been easy enough to re- place him with better democrat, if that were possible, the next time, There is no denying the fact that the "old liners" or ''the regulars ol whatever name may be given the wing of the party the Times repre-. sents, is responsible for the defeat of the candidate of the party on two occasions.

The war is, of course, an indirect influence abroad, says Banker Henry Clews in his, weekly letter. The for, eign markets are almost as dull as our own, and the decline in foreign gov ernment securities indicates an appre- hensiye state of mind. The drop in British consols may be attributed to this, or it may be due to a desire to have funds In hand in case of a Rus. sian or Japanese loan later on. Both combatants are chiefly occupied with preliminary operations, and 1t seems unlikely that any serious engagements will occur until the opening of spring facilitates campaigning. American sympathy is adverse to Russia, chiefly because of her exclusive policy. Ev- eryone now understands that great de velopments are in prospect in the far east during the next twenty-five years, and that no country has greater DO tential interest in that development than the United States. Destiny is making us the dominant power on the Pacific, and we cannot afford to idly watch Russia seize a position to the exclusion of ourselves and all others No one objects to Russia taking hold of the semi-barbaric races of Asia and civilizing them if she can, but hither- to her methods have been monumental failures, and the clash between her ideals of government and society and ours must inevitably have come had not Japan, reused by the necessity of self-preservation, undertaken to check Russian encroachments.

lin's Third division, under General Eni- ory Already the pursuing Confeder- ates were peppering the fleeing mass with bullets, but Emory threw his line of battle across the road into clearing upon which the enemy was advancing. Luckily for Emory, the Confederates stopped to loot the wagons at the jam, and this gave him time to deploy the One Hundred and Sixty first New York regiment as skirmishers. This was ac, complished in the very teeth of the Confederate line yelling and firing as it came on. Behind the gallant sllir- mishers heavier line of battle was formed, and, although the Confederates overlapped the hanlSs, they were ef- fectually checked in q sharp struggle of about twenty minutes. Emory had no cannon, and the Confederate bat teries had not reached the front. so this last phase of the fight at Sabine Crossroads was a short range muskctry ' duel in swamp, forest and field Eln- ory was too late to save the day for Banks, but he did save Banks advance corps from annihilation. e. ... ,.
 Banks lost 2,00O men at Sabine Cross roads, and his enemy got off with loss of half that number. RallyiEg his army at Pleasant Hill about twelve miles back from the battlefield, the Federal leader withstood q second as- sault by the victors at Sabine Cross roaGs on April 9 and continued his re- treat twenty miles to Grand Ecore. A fresh column of Federals under Gener- al 4. J. Smith reached Pleasant Hill in time to take part but the brunt of the fighting and the casualties fell upon Elnory's division. Two of the Federal guns captured at Sabine Crossroads were retaken at Pleasant Hill, and two Confederate cannon, were among Elm ory's trophies of battle.
 After pulling his army together at Grand Ecore Banks proposed to take up the advance on Shreveport again, but finally retreated to Alexandria. There he was met by imperative orders from General Grant to end the expedition and return to New Orleans. About this time the fall of the waters in Red river left the naval fleet stranded above the rapids at Alexandria. The ships were finally released by skillful bit of engineering on the part of Colonel Jo- seph Bailey, who constructed a dam of trees, stone and brick where the river was over TOO feet wide This obstruc- tion drove the current through nar- row chute wide enough to pass the ships.

i..s roads against the Federal advance to Shreveport.
 Across the clearing and through the openings of the forest the Federals could see tho enemy moving to position, particularly two, columns, which prov cd to be led by General Mouton, aim ing for the Federal right flank, The opposing lines looked at each other for a couple of hours, and then Mouton rushed his mon on q charge over the prairie along the road. Ransom, whose division was to bear the Drunt of this onslaught. had less than 2,500 men in troops at the call of Banks, while his foe numbered on the field at least 10000.
 The headlong thrust of Mouton on the Federal flank was equal Ill results to the famous stroke of Stonewall Jackson on the Eleventh Federal corps at Characteristic the year be- fore. It really settled the fate of the day and of Banks Red river campaign. Mouton was himself shot down in. the heat of the charge while leading his Louisianian soldiers, the "Pelicans," "Iouaves'' and "Tigers,'' urging them son with q battlehag which he waved with his sword arm. By prompt and skillful rarrying Ranscsn checked the first charge, driving Mouton's first line back upon the second. But the Loui- sianians rallied and returned to the charge. Ransom had posted the guns of Cones Chicago Mercantile battery and Klauss' Twelfth Indiana battery on ridge in the center to meet the rush of MOuton's men. But the Fed eral flank was broken and the whole line driven back in confusion. Ransom could only save his command by with drawing 1t to the near edge of the clearing, under cover of the woods. aid, who was shot down before he could deliver them. Regiments which fought on in the clearing were sur rounded by the enemy and captured. Ransom was wounded while trying to rally those who fell back, and two of his brigade commanders were wounded and captured.
 Meanwhile General W. B. Franklin, commander of the advance Federal corps, who had ridden at the head of the Second division. reached the field. As he galloped up the hill, where the gunners were bravely holding on in aid of Ransons men, his horse was shot staff officers, fell wounded. The Sec

Heliograph by the Moons Rays.

United States marine officers at Pan- anna have been greatly interested In night signals sent between their camps at Empire and Bas Obispo by means of the heliograph, says the New York Herald's correspondent. The distance between the camps is about three miles, and constant communication has been kept up from the outset, us- ing the heliograph and wigwags by day and flashlights at night. The moon has recently been very brilliant and the sky perfectly clear, and after lights had been used the men at Empire de- cided to try to work the heliograph by the rays Of the moon. They received a quick answer and were delighted, as 1t was probably the first time that sig. nals had ever been exchanged in that manner

The retreat had begun, and there was no stemnifng the tide of Mouton's men and the Confederate cavalry which swarmed on the Hanks of the retreating troops.
 4 break in the line of battle like that at Sabine Crossroads, involving prac- tically the whole fighting front, with officers and aids cut down, is inevita- bly, followed by panic. Unfortunate ly the road of retreat was narrow, and about a mile back from the battlefield 1t became blocked by train of bag gage wagons, which had become tan gled I'D and stuck in a swamp. The advance Federal battery under Nims had lost half it's horses in battle and could only haul three of the six guns from the ridge it had so gallantly de fended. The three remaining guns were lost at the wagon wreck, and in the same tangle the Chicago Mercan- tile, Klauss' Indiana and four other guns were abandoned, making loss of twenty Federal guns in all. Tn the same hopeless jam 175 Federal wagons and 1000 draft animals were caught by the enemy.
 The fatal obstruction at the crossing of the swamp turned the retreating army of Ransom's and Cameron's divi- sions into formless mass of men. wag- ons and horses, crowding to the rear. Three miles from the battlefield these battered remnants were met by Frank

A FCRTIETH ANMIVy

HWNHE battle of Sabine Crossroads,
 called Mansfield by the Confed-
 0 crate, fought April 8, 1864, has
 been named as one of the deci- sive battles of the civil war. It put an end to the Federal attempts to conquer the vast territory held by the Confeder- ates west of the Mississippi. Early in April General N. F. Banks was march ing on Shreveport, La. with force act. ing in concert with naval squadron moving up Red river. The land column was strung out on the last stretch before closing in upon Shreveport owing to the state of the roads and the necessity for haste, as the Confederates under Gen. eral E. Kirby Smith and General Dick Taylor were concentrating to give bat tie in the swampy pine lands lying in the pathway of the Federals
 Banks order of march on April s was that the head of column should move slowly and allow the troops in the rear the enemy was already showing q fighting temper and skirmishing with the Federal cavalry which was in the lead. General Ransom's Federal divi- sion hurried the pace in order to SUD- port the troopers who had met the enemy on the edge of large clearing, divided in the middle by ravine and traversed by the only road in the re- zion. Ransom reached the battle front about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and was soon joined by Banks in person, who saw that the crisis was urgent. Smith and Taylor would fight to close
